QT: Against My Will

Chapter 238

238 4.62 -Trauma – Dangerous Angels

‘It seems like a soul can keep some aspects of its past. It answers why people don’t behave exactly the same as before. Why Cheng Young felt guilt when he saw the horrified Cian Le being sexualy assaulted, and why Cian Le reacted as she reacted.’

‘As proof, there is also me...’

After Bing Shi found out what she wanted, she walked out of the Eliaros, glancing at her cleanly washed hands.

‘Insignificant insults, trivial losses, do not bother to retaliate. Maintain your dignity, your self-respect, your pose.’

An eye for an eye wasn’t meant for Bing Shi. She could never be too cruel due to her compassion and shrewdness. She could only change the person from the roots so that she could squeeze the best out of that person. Something, an apathetic person filled with hatred or indifference would hardly be able to accomplish.

The dark clouds gathered together above the sky, followed by an attack of lighting. A loud storm came to quench the earth as a large chariot passed through the desolate streets, stopping before Eliaros’s gates. Lost in thoughts, Bing Shi dismissed her guards and stepped inside her custom-made carriage.

‘I’m very benevolent, but only to an extent...’

After the meeting with Zhao Rong...

To prevent Bing Shi and Xuan Mu from taking over the assassin’s village, Fei Lan had to leave the military compound. But it was as if Zhao Rong could predict her moves! While leaving his doppelganger to do his job, Zhao Rong obstructed her every time she wanted to teleport away. She should have refused him from the start like Bing Shi! Now, it was impossible. Without her constant management, her secret organization was devoured by Xuan Mu, while the kids from the slums were sent to Tianshi’s orphanages.

.....

The little boy ran around the couch inside the military tent, biting his nails in worry, seeing his lazy host sleeping all day.

{Host, how about we create some friendly relationships with Bing Shi?}

{“If you like her so much, why don’t you become her system? I’ll exchange the useless you for Kuro any time of the day.”}

Her voice was laced with ridicule; she did not bother to wake up. ‘This world is absurd. How about I destroy it?’

{But host! Bing Shi received another’s male lead’s backing! Ru Quan is expanding his troops at an inhuman speed! One is seeking war, while the other is seeking peace. Maybe they broke up?! Host, you have a chance to seduce Ru Quan!}

Even without monitoring, the little boy could tell the happenings around the world, simply because Bing Shi and Ru Quan were the main gossips of every town!

{“So what? Should I applaud her seducing skills? Let them play for their heart’s content while they still can. Continue monitoring Ru Quan.”}

The boy started to cry in protest. It returned because Bing Shi decided to tag along with Zhao Rong’s army. Did she want to snatch Zhao Rong back?

{Wuwu. What if Bing Shi does something to you?}

{“Could you prevent something if she did? If you don’t want to be called useless, do what I say.”}

Feeling the cold aura emitting from his host, the little boy ran away in tears.

{Wuwuwu, Host is too scary.}

Fei Lan followed a principle. Life was too boring to be taken seriously. She liked to toy with her prey first. After having enough fun, she would strike a killing blow with her claws, devouring the prey whole. The shocked and jealous expression on Bing Shi’s face when she saw her in Zhao Rong’s arms was beyond priceless.

Fei Lan was not afraid of Zhao Rong betraying her. No man, whose heart she already obtained, could run away from her charms.

As a veteran host who mastered many concealment skills, she was sure that she could read other’s feelings and emotions, while nobody could read hers. Her facial expressions were under perfect control, under any weather and situation. Everyone else would seem plain in comparison to her natural beauty enhancements and goddess-like aura.

“Do you dislike her?” asked Zhao Rong when he neared the bed, sitting on it. Despite just waking up, her eyes still looked pure and bright when opened.

“I should have known it. Now that I’m finally yours, you’re already getting tired of me.” Fei Lan turned away from him, acting petty, not wishing to speak with him anymore. ‘Every man likes a woman who shows a little bit of jealousy.’

“I’m sorry. I’ll send her out straight away.” Zhao Rong kissed the little woman in the bed. Upon a closer look, her thick eyelashes slightly trembled, a small drop of water dripped down her cheek.

After they confirmed their feelings, she became bolder and bolder. She shook her head, “No, I’m curious how far she’ll go to break us apart.”

“This prince is curious. She said that she’s visiting one of her patrons in the Zeku kingdom. What makes you think that she’ll try to break us apart?” he kissed her again and lay down next to her, hugging her tightly.

“She is a courtesan, it’s in her nature to wreck other’s homes,” she said, her voice laced with worry, “I got a nightmare about Black Sky attacking one of your bases in Gwala country. Zhao Rong, I can help you to win that battle.”

“Do yo- get out here!” He hugged her tighter; a murderous glint flashed through his ocean blue eyes as he put on the mask, looking at the entrance. What Fei Lan didn’t realize was that male leads in this world weren’t the same as the ones she was used to.

[“Mayday! Mayday! Kuro retreat!”]

After another half an hour...

[“Kuro, repeat!”]

After another half an hour...

[“Mayday! Mayday! Kuro retreat!”]

After another half an hour, Zhao Rong got out of the tent.

[“Mayday! Mayday! Kuro retreat!”]

Atop a carriage, sat a girl. A halo of light from the moon radiated behind her as flecks of green hair waved in the night breeze. Her legs dangled in the air freely, her eyes following the puff of her breath as it rose and dissipated into the night sky.

‘Want to stalk my man?’

‘Dream on!’
