QT: Against My Will (Volume 2)

4.67 - Red Light District - Dangerous Angels

Bing Shi's reputation slowly deteriorated just like Fei Lan predicted. Her speed pills weren't enough to match Fei Lan's, causing most of her trading routes to be wiped clean of goods. She had to pay for all the losses with a promise that it would never happen again.

She was laughed at, scoffed at, and spewed upon for fighting for the impossible. But she was resolute, helping and saving those who needed it. The smarter ones saw her as a threat, while most wanted to take advantage of her goodness.

Everyone somehow misunderstood Tian Shi's feelings towards Zhao Rong. First, they thought that Tian Shi's jealousy killed his lover. Then why would she do it so openly before him? It would only make him hate her.

They came up with a conclusion that her effort to stop wars resulted in a conflict, in which an innocent life was sacrificed. The peaceful angel was no more, a dangerous angel replaced its position. People began to fear that it wouldn't take long before she turned into a demon.

A small group of Black Sky army had yet to finish their celebration and admiration towards Ru Quan, when that madman unexpectedly decided to turn around on his horse, suddenly striding in the opposite direction of the cities.

"Did he forget something back at the campsite?" one mercenary whispered to another, his voice filled with curiosity. After all, Ru Quan was notorious for being the first to visit the Red Light District of every big city they came across, gaining some particular rumors as a result.

Their eyes soon switched to their commander, Edan, who had been observing the situation with a displeased expression.

Her deep voice resonated with authority as she spoke, "I received a piece of information that Tian Shi is nearby."

The group erupted in surprised murmurs and exchanged puzzled glances. It was strange how the angels' actions around the world had caused their wealth to plummet considerably. Fewer and fewer battle commissions were coming in, but the angels still had the audacity to request their services.

One mercenary scratched his head, trying to make sense of it. "Tian Shi? What's she doing nearby?"

Another mercenary shrugged his shoulders solemnly, "For an angel known for peace, there's talk of her tangled in recent clashes."

A third mercenary chimed in, "Rumors are gettin' wild. Some even claim she's gone rogue, turned into a thief, or worse, a demon."

Another mercenary chimed in, "It's hard to fathom, but it looks like the world's losin' faith in its once-beloved angel."

Edan cut them off with a determined look in her eyes. "These rumors about Tian Shi are baseless. We shouldn't jump to conclusions based on gossip."

The mercenaries exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up, "But Commander, what if there's some truth to these rumors? What if she has changed?"

Edan's expression remained resolute. "Even if there's a grain of truth in these rumors, it's our duty to protect her. Tian Shi had helped us countless times. We owe her that much."

The mercenaries nodded in agreement, their loyalty to their commander and their respect for Ru Quan unwavering.

Marching through winding streets and shadowed alleyways, the ruthless mercenaries of the Black Sky army arrived at the notorious entrance of the city's Red Light District.

A grizzled mercenary with a sly grin couldn't help but speak up, "Listen up, you lot!" he roared, causing tankards to clatter and laughter to erupt. "We've bled and fought, and now it's time to revel like the wild bunch we are! Tonight, we're crashing headfirst into the heart of this city's wildest pleasures!"

The mercenaries' eyes gleamed with anticipation as they passed enticing establishments, each offering its own brand of temptation. There were opulent brothels with ornate façades, raucous taverns with lively music pouring from within, and mysterious dens promising secret delights.

Edan couldn't help but smirk at the sight of her rowdy troops, "Let's not forget who we are. Keep your wits about you, and don't get into trouble you can't handle!"

The mercenaries roared in agreement.

Leaping off his horse, Ru Quan ordered Bing Shi's watchmen to join the group in the city.

Standing in stillness before her carriage, he could feel the wildfire that was about to scorch him dry, too impatient to see her. When she opened the door and showed her smile, his throat parched. As ever, she was still unfailingly beautiful.

Jumping into his arms, she licked and sucked on his lips, enjoying his tight hold on her head and back. The reassuring pair of strong arms confirmed that he was here, together, with her. For there were times she yearned for her home, to be safe within the walls, protected.

Both wanted the time to stand still. The relief they both felt was like a slice of mellow harmony amid the fragrant leaves. The surroundings had a relaxing, hypnotic quality to it. The breeze had a pleasant coolness, and the brilliant colors of the sky contained the radiance of the time just after sunrise.

Carrying her to the carriage, he closed the doors. In that moment of feeling her so close, he was awake, somehow more alive than he had been in so very long. Sighing in bliss, he could stay like this forever. But after a while, as if holding her wasn't quite enough, he needed to feel every ounce of her.

No, he couldn't stay like this forever. In all seriousness, he truly wanted to screw around. Should he wait until she had enough doses of her daily Huggies? Nah. It was not like he wasn't allowed to do inappropriate things with her. He just didn't know what to do sooner. His needs or her needs? The same things should be going through her mind too.

"Darling, I'm horny."

See? Just like now, they think about each other's needs.

He held in his laughter, "You're what?" His hands moved tenderly along Bing Shi's back, tracing the delicate curve of her spine until they rested on her hips, pulling her closer. Their bodies pressed together as they yearned for more closeness.

Bing Shi's hands traced his chest and shoulders, savoring the sensation of his physique under her touch, "Hornyyy," she sang out.

"I didn't hear you," he said. Their faces drew closer, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze. It was a moment of shared desire, a longing that had been building for a long time.

"I'm HORNY," she declared with a voice so deep and masculine it could make the ground shake.

Closing his eyes, he laughed out loud, squeezing her tighter.

╔════ Author's note ═════╗

You know how I hate twists with no logic, so I hope Bing Shi's action didn't come out as too OOC. She's currently undertaking some major character development.
