QT: Against My Will

Chapter 160

160 3.16.65 – Jelly girl – Downfall of Humanity

The next day, in the central kitchen, Fu Lian was preparing breakfast for the soldiers, when a sound of laughter caught the attention of nearby helpers. Looking up, they saw a few soldiers holding baskets filled with fruits while flirting with a girl in a white dress.

Fu Qin grabbed an apple from the basket. Entirely forgetting about Bing Shi’s warning, she walked towards Fu Lian and offered her the apple with a bright smile, “An apple for my dearest sister. I grew them last night. They have revitalizing properties. Our father likes them the most.”

When Fu Lian reached for the apple, Fu Qin dropped it on the floor. Quickly crouching down, she picked it up with teary eyes, “I’m sorry...I know you hate me. I’m here to ask for your forgiveness. You can take all your grievances on me.” Looking down, she said in a pitiful tone. Her delicate silhouette was enough to earn every man’s protection.

Fu Lian raised her eyebrow, walking around the counter, she stood before Fu Qin. Out of a sudden, she threw a straight kick at Fu Qing’s abdomen. The force sent the other girl flying. Ignoring the girl on the floor, Fu Lian looked up at the shocked soldiers, “What? She said I could take it out on her. That’s what she gets for trying to get me raped. Don’t blame me if you drop dead by her poisonous food one day.” After finishing her speech, she continued to cook as if nothing happened.

The soldiers opened their eyes wide, peeking at the girl who coughed out blood, they didn’t dare go near her. Fu Lian had a reputation for being ruthless. But she could be trusted, which couldn’t be said about this new plant user, which appeared out of nowhere. What was Bing Shi thinking?! Did she want them dead?!

Bing Shi, who was feeding Kuro chocolate popcorn on her lap, stopped. Placing Kuro on the bed, she left the tent.

[“You continue eating. I’m going to check the situation.”]

Fu Qin clutched her stomach in pain. Feeling the iron taste in her mouth, she threw out a mouthful of blood. She was going to kill that slut! Opening her blurry eyes, a pair of black boots obscured her view.

‘Girl, what did you think? I trained Fu Lian for two years.’

.....

Bing Shi crouched before Fu Qin, “You are carrying around my name. Do not make me clean after your mess.” Taking the apple from Fu Qin, she cleaned it up and gave it to a fatigued soldier, “You. Eat it.”

The soldier took a bite without any hesitation. The sweet taste of the apple engulfed his mouth, feeling rejuvenated, he finished the whole apple and stood up in confusion, “What the...” It felt like his power increased?!

“Though Fu Qin hates Miss Fu Lian,” Bing Shi turned towards Fu Lian, “She doesn’t hate us.” Leaving the kitchen, she ordered a few soldiers to carry the girl with broken ribs to the infirmary, “What do you think about Fu Qin’s acting? Should I learn from her?”

A soldier shook his head, “It was superb until she met Miss Fu Lian. Then, it turned into a disaster.”

While Ban was healing Fu Qin, Bing Shi asked again, “Should a girl... who schemed to get her sister raped... be forgiven?” She would always ask for other’s opinions to know their view on the situation.

“No,” A few soldiers who remained, answered, “How can such an innocent-looking girl be so vicious? Miss Bing Shi, you should be careful around someone like her.”

“You believe Miss Fu Lian? What if what she said was a lie? Also, we don’t know Fu Qin’s side of the truth,” Bing Shi watched Fu Qin’s teary expression, “You can leave us alone.”

“Miss Bing Shi, are you sure?” Full of doubts, the soldiers didn’t want to leave Bing Shi alone.

“Aw, everyone is worried about me. I have Kuro to protect me,” Bing Shi chuckled.

Leaving the two women alone, the soldiers went for breakfast.

Bing Shi took a chair and sat next to the bed, “Girl, it’s only the first day, and everyone got to know your bad side. What did I say about not challenging Fu Lian?”

Fu Qin sat up and started to trash everything around her, “It’s all that slut’s fault!” Grabbing her hair, she screamed out in resentment, “It’s all her fault! If she didn’t exist, nothing of this would happen!” She continued to scream until her voice became hoarse, “It’s all her fault... Whatever I want, she steals it away...It’s all her fault...It’s all her fault...”

“Bitch, It’s all your fault,” said a deep muscular voice, which appeared inside the infirmary, “Fuck, I was curious who it might be. And it turned out to be the new gardener,” Ziek grabbed a chair and sat opposite Bing Shi, “A cook, a gardener, who is next?”

“A musician,” Bing Shi giggled.

Dammit, just hearing her little giggle, and his heart was about to burst from feeling too much, “Your gardener has a few screws loose.”

Fu Qin stopped, and threw a death glare at the invader, “Who has...” But noticing it was that mysterious man in a cloak, she quickly looked down in fear. But there was another man there. Yi Zen? What was he doing here?! What was this? A secret meeting between the top leaders?!? Fu Qin suddenly felt so out of place, “Is everyone afraid that I’ll do something to Miss Bing Shi?”

Yi Zen lips twitched, more like Bing Shi doing something to this little bunny. Ignoring Fu Qin, he spoke to Bing Shi, “This is supposed to be my future wife?”

Bing Shi nodded, “Perfect for a duck boy like you.”

Ziek laughed out loud, “What about me?”

Bing Shi pursed her lips, “My grandson deserves the best.”

Ziek chuckled and stood up, “You are right, I want this base’s Ice Queen.” Leaving the tent, his smile disappeared. ‘But I don’t want the best. I want my Bing Shi.’
