QT: Against My Will

Chapter 227

227 4.51 – Die for you – Dangerous Angels

Bing Shi quickly changed her course of movements. Keeping a reasonable distance, she targeted his knee from the side, the instant he avoided it, she reached at his ankles for a foot sweep. Retreating, she stalled for time. He was one of the male leads, for God’s sake! Compared to him, her technique was still inexperienced and clumsy.

Cheng Young’s face was suddenly showed against the bloody ground as four guards pinned him down, the disgusting stench hit his nostrils, anger seeped out of his gritted teeth as he looked up at his people whose hands and legs were tied up. Above him, a subtle voice accompanied the swirling wind.

“Pray for their safe afterlife,” Bing Shi nudged Cheng Young’s dirty face towards the corpses of her deceased pets, “Or do you want to dig their graves with your bare hands?” Hearing no response, feeling his killing intent, she tilted her gaze towards her guards, “Shall we make him do both?”

Her gentle tone; like an icy kiss of winter, was it to adore or to fear?

Nodding their heads, her guards agreed robotically, shackling Cheng Young’s limbs, they comprehended the situation. They weren’t sure why Hasan chose a slave woman to be his right hand, but it had to do something with her persuasive charm for sure. Working under her master’s name, she jumped up the social status ladder incredibly fast. What would be their reaction if they knew that Hasan’s enormous wealth was under her control? Though she didn’t give out any dangerous aura like Ru Quan, they somehow obeyed this female idol of theirs from day one. First, it was her darker skin that lured their eyes, making them scoff. The rich men wouldn’t desire such a courtesan. But in her presence, they were unable to appreciate other beautiful Tianshies. Simply because her skin stood out like a sore thumb, their gaze would automatically lock on her!

Bing Shi knew this and took full advantage of it.

Men had different tastes.

A woman could look good for one, and better for the other.

Though one Tianshi was prettier than the other, they all had one thing in common.

.....

They matched all beauty standards.

If she went against one norm, she wouldn’t be the most beautiful.

She would be the most eye-catchy.

“Does sir know to whom this territory belongs to?” probed Bing Shi. She took out the gun, showing it before Cheng Young’s eyes, keeping her distance in case he had other tricks up his sleeve, “His highness would be very pleased to see this, wouldn’t he?”

“My absence will notify others.” Cheng Young put a deaf ear to her little threat, showing no fear, he smirked. Even if he needed to travel to the end of the world, he’d make this foreign woman his, “You won’t get out unscathed,” he hissed in pain, “Ngh!”

Bing Shi placed her pointer before her lips in a ‘silence’ gesture to pacify her furious guards.

[“So fast? Kuro, is this red flag linked to me now?”]

[Yes. Host, what if he falls in love with you?]

[“I’d lost two thousand points...?”]

“Sir... Are you sure?” Bing Shi looked down at her spottles harem pants and top, then back at his dirty appearance, doubting his words, she poked his cheeks left and right, making his mouth twitch. Like him, she showed no fear, “Does sir want to bet who’ll bring more people?”

That day, Cheng Young and his men went through great humiliation. His men were compelled to watch how their master was forced by Tian Shi’s guards to dig a grave with his bare hands and pray for something he killed himself. Unable to watch anymore, they requested to change their position with Cheng Young, resulting in all men digging dirt in the back garden, for the whole day, with no chance of escape. That malicious woman! She didn’t even allow them to go to the toilet!

“What is miss doing?” Her guard asked the moment when Tian Shi returned with another new audience. Weren’t five guards for each Cheng Young’s man enough?

“Digging his grave,” said Bing Shi, pointing at Cheng Young’s direction. The dogs were buried together with the evidence. Speaking to the official next to her, she introduced to him a few merchants that recognized Cheng Young’s identity as a businessman, mostly known as an owner of auction houses. Using her connections, she contacted the authorities to note down this criminal that tried to trespass into ‘her’ property.

At first, Bing Shi wanted to uproot Cheng Young’s business in the Rania kingdom, weakening his power from behind the scene, without revealing herself. She wouldn’t unnecessarily provoke someone for the sake of her pride. But this one, she stepped in, knowing how she would regret it later. Cheng Young was notorious for always appearing in the female lead’s bedroom, in the middle of the night, and no, it was not for a simple chat.

Riding on the horse miles away, Xuan Mu kept blinking his eyes in astonishment, as if seeing his woman for the first time. Bing Shi wouldn’t attack somebody she knew nothing about, which meant she knew Cheng Young’s identity well. The staff was easy to learn but hard to master. Though she was able to hit Cheng Young only once, it was enough to show how enraged she was.

Ru Quan recalled his previous unannounced visits. Well, one of them wasn’t really unannounced; he let her dogs accompany him in front of her balcony, didn’t he? He coughed awkwardly. Being her man’s soul had its plus, at least she didn’t call police on him, and only threw him over the walls.

After the authorities left with the dirty and smelly men, Bing Shi walked around the garden, picking up a few stones. The men that stayed back watched her every action, asking what she was doing, unknowingly irritating the man who could only look from afar how some random bugs courted his woman.

?Mr. Jelly: ? This is bad for my health. Stop being so beautiful.

“Honoring the deceased,” Bing Shi placed a little stone on a grave, “Physically, stones last longer than flowers, much like the everlasting and permanent memory we have of those who passed away.”
