Seeing Tang Ming actually sat at the door, Hu Mei'er chuckled: "You're quite something, what can I say? Come inside, the punishing wind in the wilderness at night will be too much for your body."
"I'm not going in, I'll just sit at the door. A gentleman's word is his bond."
Tang Ming glanced at Hu Mei'er and shook his head.
Hu Mei'er snorted, and the door slammed shut again.
The night descended quickly, and the deep night in the wilderness was devoid of any starlight. The punishing wind howled, and only the most powerful desert beasts could withstand it.
Hu Mei'er lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She couldn't understand why Tang Ming hadn't knocked on the door.
Tang Ming was also surprised by the severity of the punishing wind, the kind of pain that seemed to penetrate the bones was almost unbearable even for his body.
Although he would be restored by the next morning, the burning knife-like pain was pure torment.
"The door is unlocked."
