QT: Against My Will

Chapter 225

225 4.49 – Carry you – Dangerous Angels

How unfair. Despite nurturing so many extraordinary flowers, Zhao Rong and Cheng Young didn’t get interested in any of them. Why would they go after Bing Shi? Her little angels were so much better in every aspect.

Tianshies’ talents spread far and wide. As for Bing Shi, except her exotic look, she had nothing to her name. She knew that if she showed her pole dancing – with how different it looked to this world, she’d probably attain the top spot that was currently held by Nile. Unfortunately, it was never meant for the public eye. She was using it only to strengthen her body.

After the new bidding, Bing Shi had to cater to an elderly man who wanted to try out Zhao Rong’s favorite courtesan. For her, it was a nice change of pace compared to the prince. Pouring wine while playing chess and cards, she would ease his day as a companion.

The link might be some kind of tracking ability that allowed the male leads to always find the female lead – no matter where she hid. It all started when Mao An reached a certain age. It’s as if her protection disappeared as soon as she reached marriageable age, around fifteen, similar to Bing Shi’s current one. It would answer why Zhao Rong found the older Bing Shi first, instead of the younger Fu Lian.

What the three of them had in common was that they were women from another dimension.

Why didn’t the male leads notice Xuan Mu, who was older by two years? Maybe because of his gender?

Reading many history books, Bing Shi stumbled upon a few odd things. About men that gained immeasurable power and influence due to their innovative ideas, especially during disasters-they could come up with revolutionary things without any prior research. How often would a person come with a perfect design and formula without any failed first attempts and errors? Not often. It was highly possible that in the past, there were other reincarnators and transmigrators, which helped those men from the background.

Going through the world story a few times, Bing Shi only cared about the characters. As for the plot, she never depended on it. QT would never exist if everything was predestined. She could prevent death, but there were things, like fated meetings, that she couldn’t stop from happening; it would only backfire later if she tried. Why did she fear OOC so much when a person could change from one second to another? It was in the beginning when she was still testing the waters.

She didn’t know that the OOC rule went for the hosts that had to appease the previous soul. To make it believe that it was the one occupying the body, satisfying it enough so it would agree to reincarnate.

Cheng Young, a young master with a refined face so beautiful as if carved by the gods, stood peacefully in light blue robes outside of the large garden. Surrounded by Bing Shi’s guards clad in full armor, he watched how they drew out their spears, swords and shields, glaring at him in a threatening manner.

“Gentlemen, calm down,” said Cheng Young with a friendly smile, fanning his face with a fan, “This one was simply passing by.”

“By trespassing into a private property?! Get lost before we throw you out with force!” a guard shouted out, loud barks followed. Not knowing that this white-haired youth was a foreign prince, the guards took him for a rich merchant’s son who thought he could do as he pleased!

Before they march on the journey to spread Hasan’s business, Tian Shi was taking a rest. Unless the royalty, nobody shall interrupt her!

When a loud BANG echoed during this extraordinary evening dusk, all men stared wide-eyed at the fallen dog on the ground with a small hole in between its forehead, it twitched and growled in agony, before going deathly silent. Putting up their shield, all the guards got into a fighting formation, feeling unsettled. What was that strange weapon?!

“I heard that a famous courtesan resides here,” Cheng Young’s voice suddenly grew dangerous as he blew the smoke from the top of his gun, his aloof aura disappeared. “Where is she?” he asked.

He lured all the guards here so his people could search for that courtesan. He was looking for women that were not from this world – women that could cause the fall of the countries. Men who got in touch with them would gain immeasurable power and influence. This secret was passed down by his father, whose mother was also not from this world. And it seemed that only nobility and royalty had this power to track those women down.

Bing Shi halted at her steps abruptly, turning towards Hasan’s direction, she clutched her hands tightly, anger and sorrow seeped out of her dull eyes.

‘He killed my dogs...’

How could Bing Shi get her job done right when HQ hid so much information from her? They couldn’t send her information from every person in the world – that would make her go insane. It could be said that HQ didn’t want their hosts to lose their humanity, by preventing them from feeling like a God. They didn’t have a clear answer on how to cure the unpredictable broken souls. However, they wanted Bing Shi to patch the unsteady dimension. Partly considering her different circumstances, they gave her the right tools and free rein to do what she deemed fit.

Bing Shi didn’t care less if she was viewed as a weakling or a pushover. Yi Zen could leave cold blisters on her, Zhao Rong could throw her around like a rag doll – as long as something benefited her mission, she couldn’t feel a thing. She didn’t have a need to take revenge or to retaliate against them aggressively.

‘~ The absence of emotions leaves you free to pursue your objection.’

When she saw the slave market for the first time, she teared up; taking their feelings of misery as her own so that she could understand their desires better. The moment she felt her own anger and sorrow, she was alarmed, a tragedy dyeing her mind black.
