Chapter 122 – Two Cats, One Courtyard – Part 2
"Hello, you two. I'm Hua Shi, the MAIN WIFE of Lord Zhang Tong. Who might you bitches be?"
Like a declaration of war, Hua Shi glared at the two without restraining her hostile intent.
Zou Shi was taken aback by Hua Shi's tone and her attitude. Then, she realized that Hua Shi might have misunderstood something.
"P-Please. Please don't misunderstand. My name is Zou Shi. I already have a fiancé. I'm escorting my little sister here to meet her hero."
Hearing Zou Shi's explanation, the eyes of Hua Shi became warmer. Zou Shi's name was familiar to Hua Shi but she could not remember where she had heard it from. Since she was not here to seduce Tong, then they could be friends.
She opened her mouth and was about to apologize for the rude remarks.
However.
"I'M TONG'S FIRST WIFE, FRIDAY! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE CALLING YOURSELF 'MAIN WIFE', BITCH!?"
*BOOM*
The shout of the little girl made all maids, Zou Shi, and Hua Shi stunned. They gazed toward Dong Bai's direction in astonishment.
Dong Bai's killing intent exuded out of her body. Menacing cold air swept through the entire courtyard. Meanwhile, Hua Shi glared back at the little girl as she noticed the bold provocation. Her sinister aura as a cannibalism psychopath seeped out of her back, which gave out an illusion of a man-eating-ogre while Dong Bai had an illusion of a devil fiend behind her.
'Friday … So this is Tong's previous life girlfriend? But if I remember correctly, Tong said she was a demoness. Why has she reincarnated into a little girl?
'But it doesn't matter. She is not qualified to be his wife! His seeds are mine alone!'
Hua Shi smirked at Dong Bai and started lashing out her tongue.
"For a little girl that has never bleed her lower mouth, you should mind your manner and your etiquette. Bragging that you have eaten a man before will soil your non-existence reputation."
Dong Bai's eyes turned red. She tried to recall this girl's profile which she had read it during her free times when she waited for the dimension link to be repaired. Then she lashed back.
"A psychopath slut that can't stop eating men has no right to criticize my outward look. I would recommend that you should wash your mouth with formalin. It reeks of men sperm!"
The corner of Hua Shi's eyebrows twitched.
"Little whore, there is something wrong with your brain. I would also recommend that you open up your skull and wash your brain with chlorine, so your IQ will be a little bit higher than the current 10. Claiming that you're my husband's first wife while your sagged puny pussy has yet to taste a man's cock is retarded in many ways. You should go back to Hell and open your legs to the savages, so they could admire your loose sandy hole!"
"Oh, please. If I'm loose, then your excavated ragged tunnel would have been thoroughly mined to the point that once a man entered, he will have to move to the wall himself to get a feeling. Heck, look at you. I bet you ate so much men's piss so much that your body smells like one. To be honest, I don't even want to continue talking to you. I feel like I'm talking to a pile of loose shit."
The menacing air between the two intensified. Killing intents clashed and caused a vortex with both girls as the eye of the typhoon.
All maids dropped their jaws and their eyes were wide open. Zou Shi's face reddened as if she was a tomato. She learned so many new vocabularies within a couple minutes, but the inexperienced Zou Shi could not bear the shame. She hid her face with her hands and squatted down on the ground in embarrassment.
Hua Shi and Dong Bai glared at each other as if they were ready to tear the other girl apart. They gritted their teeth and stepped forward. Their eyes aimed at the hair and the face of the opponent, ready to scratch each other's face and pull out the hair like pulling chicken features.
The maids jumped in front of them in a hurry to stop the cat fight. If they fought here and Hua Shi was miscarried, their life would be in danger. They were afraid that Tong might punish them.
Seeing that the maids blocked them with panicking expression, both Dong Bai and Hua Shi slowly got back to their senses.
'If I weren't pregnant at the moment, I would have killed you a thousand times already.'
'If I weren't a human child at the moment, your soul would have been torn to shred.'
Both of them withdrew back their killing intents. The surrounding atmosphere reverted back to normal, which made every onlooker sighed in relief.
"Maids, you can leave." Hua Shi ordered.
"Mistress?"
"Leave us alone. I want to talk to them in private."
The maids bowed and left in a hurry. They did not want to stay here any longer as they instinctively knew that something bad would happen here.
Hua Shi looked around and found the trembling Zou Shi who was still traumatized from the previous crash. She walked to her and gave her a hug.
"It's ok now. We won't fight anymore. I promise."
Zou Shi peeked through the fingers of her hands that still covered her face with her teary eyes.
"Really?"
"Mmhm."
"You won't fight with little Bai anymore?"
"Well, as long as she doesn't start it again."
Hua Shi leered at the Dong Bai who snorted as a response.
"But it would be better if you return to Sima Manor for now. I have something to talk to this young lady in private."
"Eh?" Zou Shi looked between the two in confusion. Dong Bai gestured with her hands that she would be alright, and Zou Shi should leave.
"Please don't fight, okay little Bai?"
Bidding farewell, Zou Shi left the courtyard, leaving the two cats alone.
Without anyone in the area, Dong Bai spoke first.
"You seem to know about my true identity. Has Tong told you about me?"
"… You don't need to know."
"Hmm."
Hua Shi kept her mouth shut. She did not want to admit it.
Every night that she dual-cultivated with Tong, she noticed it. Tong did not look at her, but he searched for Friday through her eyes and her body. Whenever he talked about Friday, his eyes sparkled as if he was a kid who talked about his favorite toys.
She was jealous.
There was no girl in the world that never wanted to be the number one person in the heart of her man. Hua Shi did her best to get Tong to look at her as herself, not a replacement of his ex-girlfriend.
Hua Shi admitted that her relationship with Tong started because of her perversion. Then it evolved into a partner, then a sex-friend, then a husband-and-wife.
In the beginning, she did not mind if Tong would return to his ex-girlfriend.
But it was different now.
She wanted him for herself.
She wanted him for her child.
The child needed a father.
Her selfishness as a woman bloomed for the first time in her life. Hua Shi was not willing to give back Tong to Friday.
Thus, she came up with an idea when she realized that Friday came for Tong. Hua Shi spoke.
"I have a proposal… about Tong."
"… What proposal?"
"I'll return him to you."
"Oh? That's surprising."
"But… I'll only return him to you in the next life!"
"Huh!?"
Hua Shi made a decision. She would not give up on him in this life no matter what. She was at a disadvantage in the overall situation. Once this trial was over, they would be sent back to the Netherworld, which she did not have to confidence that she could be with him again.
But she could be with him in this world as long as they were alive. Secondly, they had unusual high lifespans which were her advantage. Hua Shi had to exploit it to delay the return.
"I know that you're a devil. You're way more powerful than me, and I won't be able to fight you once we go back to Hell. But this is our trial! This is our world! You have no right to suddenly show up to take him away because of your relationship in the previous life!"
Dong Bai frowned. She came here to correct Tong's skill, so he would not forget her after he returned to hell. As times passed, things got more complicated than she had imagined.
'If I remember correctly, Medusa told me that the infection can spread to the other partners of the carrier. Tong is infected, but the mutation isn't completed yet. I don't know if this girl is infected as well. But if she does, then the baby in her stomach is going to be one of us too.'
Feeling complicated, Dong Bai scratched her head in frustration.
Devils of Hell had an absolute law, they could not harm each other regardless of the situation. This law was made to restrain the unruly ones or every demons or demoness in Hell would cause a ruckus for their selfish desire.
'Shit! If she's infected, she will join our ranks in the end! Then she can reunite with Tong and claims him if I refuse this stupid deal!'
Hua Shi did not realize, she had the upper hand of the bargain she had offered Dong Bai. Hua Shi was at risk of being infected with the soul mutation that Friday spread to Tong. If Hua Shi was infected with Tong's such disease, she would be forced to join Hell after she departed from this dimension.
'System! Can you tell me if this girl is infected?'
Dong Bai asked the system to clarify her doubt. She prayed that Hua Shi did not catch with the mutation disease.
[*Ding* *Ding*]
[Damn right! She'll be one of you for sure within twenty years!]
[Oh, the baby is one of you, too! Hahahaha!]
[Oh, oh! I almost forgot. She made a Soulmate Contract with Tong.]
[So, if she dies, Tong dies, too! You can't touch Hua Shi, darling!]
Hearing the system obnoxious laughter and mocking messages, Dong Bai wanted to smash the message screen to pieces.
She raised her head to glare at Hua Shi who was looking at her with sad and jealous eyes.
"I can't do that! You'll have to follow my order! First, I'm his only main wife, and you're his concubine! This means you'll have to be my servant or I won't let you touch him ever again!"
Hua Shi was surprised. The counteroffer was more generous than Hua Shi's initial bargain. If she accepted this, then she could be with Tong in the next life. Losing the privilege of the main wife in this world was worth it, but her pride told her not to give in.
"I refuse. I can be your servant or Tong's concubine in the next life, but in this life, I won't hand over the main wife position to you!"
Dong Bai frowned. She was about to bargain, but she realized that she was still a child at the moment. Claiming that she was the main wife with her current age would ruin Tong's reputation in this world. For his sake and his future, she had to concede.
"Deal. You'll be his main wife in this world. Once we return, the role will switch and I'll be the main wife."
"Alright."
Dong Bai and Hua Shi sighed, and their hostility died down. However, a small trace of jealousy was still in their eyes.
Staring at Hua Shi's stomach, Dong Bai asked.
"How many weeks?"
"Eleven."
"I see."
