QT: Against My Will

221 4.13.45 – Our Upgrade – Dangerous Angel

Kuro looked at the little boy that attempted to act dignified and strong.

??XiaoPu?? “L-let go of my Host! W-what do you want?! It’s against the rules to kill another host!”

??Kuro?? “I’m here for an exchange. I won’t scheme against your people for four years, but in return, I want fifty teleportation scrolls, two space storages, and instructions on how to use them.”

‘A wise me use my enemies, not friends. Yup, yup. I bet she has no trash in her space.’

??XiaoPu?? “We... We don’t have them! What makes you think that my Host would listen to your commands?!”

??Kuro?? “You’re not in a spot to make demands.”

When the boy heard the bone-crushing sound, he yelled out in fear. His Host was found out! To take control of a system, Fei Lan would need more than hacking skills! Why couldn’t his host listen to him once?!

[“Oh my dear god, is there a limit to her confidence? ? Is she’s looking down on us? Kuro, when you return, you’ll need a thorough clean up, ok?”]

[Ok.]

.....

??XiaoPu?? “Five scrolls and one storage ring. Take it or leave it!”

??Kuro?? “You know? My host is at least trying to protect her people. Not like yours, LOL.”

Kuro flew out of the underground dungeon, holding two rings with twenty-five teleportation scrolls inside each one.

“...” Someone just got hit where it hurt the most. Did Bing Shi kill the doctor as revenge for Hasan’s people? Or Zhao Rong’s? Fei Lan couldn’t tell, but if Bing Shi went against her words, she would take her down to the deepest part of hell, even at the cost of her life. A drop of blood dripped from the corner of Fei Lan’s lips, using a restoration pill, she quickly teleported before the prince’s army could find her. The loss of teleportation scrolls and space rings didn’t pain her as much. What irritated her the most was the person who got a hold of them.

The troll host and snake system duo accumulated another dose of hate points.

Returning with empty hands, Fei Lan looked at the sleeping man inside of a bamboo hut. Bing Shi didn’t mention him at all. Was it intentional? Either way, she’ll help Zhao Rong ascend the throne, and steal the spot of an Empress as it seemed like what Bing Shi had been doing this whole time.

‘What would make him realize his lost?’ Fei Lan wanted Xuan Mu to regret his choice of partners, to show that she, Fei Lan, had much more to offer. She took it as Xuan Mu being brainwashed by Bing Shi’s heroine halo. She wanted to make him regret that he chose a lowly girl over a true soulmate. Fei Lan crossed many worlds, and what she hated the most were the white lotuses like Bing Shi.

Current time...

Bing Shi took out a golden ring with a centered alexandrite stone inlay from her skirt pocket. The light reflecting off it showed subtle changes of various space colors from different angles. She and Kuro had to make sure that it was safe before giving it to Xuan Mu. Playing with his fingers, she put it on his ring finger casually.

“What is it?” Xuan Mu studied her action from a while ago.

“Engagement ring,” Bing Shi lifted his wrist, appreciating his handsome hand.

Xuan Mu choked at her sudden proposal, “BING SHI!” He instantly changed the ring from his left hand to his right one. For her, it was not a big deal, but it was not the same for the old-fashioned him!

“...” Bing Shi turned her head around and narrowed her eyes at him, “You refused me again.”

‘She’s angry. She’s definitely angry. Fuck me. What now?’ At that moment, all lifetimes collaborated to cheer up the sulking lady, ‘Act cute. Act cute. Act cute.’

“I... I’m still young...No, what I’m saying....” Covering his face, he avoided her piercing gaze, his ears turned crimson red, taking a few deep breaths, he gulped down his saliva, “I... I want to be the one to... p-propose. Please, wait until I’m someone.”

“Oh, but you’re someone to me, isn’t that enough? Does the requirement to be ‘someone’ refer to me too?” she asked him if she needed to change her profession. Seeing him shaking his head innocently, Bing Shi turned her back against him, “Alright then. Just don’t die before that happens. About that ring, before we separate again, I wanted to give you a storage space...” She recalled him the scene from a few days ago.

“Thank you.” He bit his lips, at that moment, he didn’t realize her meaning and refused in a rush. Yes, he could die at any moment. He should have accepted it. He totally messed up. Looking at his hand, he switched the ring back to his left hand. When he thought that giving her ten engagement rings was extravagant, she surpassed him with a space ring.

Seriously, this girl... Did she want his heart to explode? He carefully unwrapped her tightly clenched fist to see another ring, holding it with his sweaty hand, he put it on her shaking ring finger. Examining the ring that shrunk on size to accommodate her size, his lips trembled, “Bing Shi... Are you my fiance now?”

*Death silence.*

“Bing Shi, I’m sorry.” He purred cutely, hiding his face in her hair. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I want to give you the best of the best, the grandest, and most memorable marriage.”

“Mm, I know...” Sniffing in a snot; Bing Shi got out of bed to brush her teeth, giggling whenever she saw their new accessories. The ring looked even more stunning than before. She never got tired of looking at it. She didn’t like wearing rings because she would need to put them off whenever she washed and lotioned her hands, it was not something she couldn’t cope up with.

Following his new fiance with a silly grin plastered on his face, he quickly took a toothbrush from her bag, squeezing toothpaste on it, he gave it to her and repeated the same for him. After rinsing their mouths, they went to bed.
