"I know, don't you two worry," Xin Huohuo said, deliberately keeping her tone light. "It's our first time out on a mission, so we're probably not going to hit the jackpot. That 'thing' might not even show up. We could end up having to come here every day for a while. And when I think about how much that's going to cost, the pain in my wallet hurts more than the fear." With that, she waved and entered the nightclub with Xiaoxue.
Leaving Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba stunned for a moment, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her penny-pinching ways.
Xin Huohuo had, of course, been to places like this before. Back when she led international tour groups, some of the more unsavory tourists would specifically request to visit red-light districts. If she could handle those, what was a regular nightclub? Still, she'd never been a paying customer, and now that she was here on a mission, she felt a knot of tension in her chest.
