Chapter 236

236 4.60 -Trauma – Dangerous Angels

Due to its character, Eliaros’s operation was minimal during the day. Only a few courtesans were keeping themselves busy with their guests. Most were taking this time to train, take a rest, or to have fun.

Meanwhile...

Bing Shi covered her mouth with her palm, finding the scene funny, she held in her giggles while studying Cheng Young’s expression.

Cheng Young, with a cold expression, stared at the half-naked girl in her undergarments. If it were the female lead or Bing Shi, he would get curious on the spot. Sadly, he still thought lowly of the women in this world. Without even giving them an opportunity to prove themselves, he threw them all into one bin.

*Clank*

“I’ve decided! I’ll become a courtesan like all of you!” Cian Le emptied her wine glass and stood up, laughing maliciously just like a genuine villainess, “Cheng Young will regret his action, he will beg me to marry him, and right at that moment, I’ll turn him down! Hahahaha!”

Cian Le grabbed the pillow on the ground and whacked another courtesan with it. Different from imperial banquets, she felt welcomed, beginning to imagine herself as a part of Eliaros. Surrounded by beautiful ladies all around, they danced and twirled around the messy room, running from the crazy Cian Le, they continued with the pillow fight.

“Miss would need Tian Shi’s approval first!” They called out joyfully. These girls from wealthy families had a tendency to break things when under stress. So Bing Shi gave them pillows and let them beat each other up to reduce the hatred which pilled up. The moment they noticed Bing Shi, a dead silence followed, all eyes shifted towards her direction.

“Tian Shi!!!” After bowing respectively before Cheng Young, unfazed by his attractive features, they all came up to Bing Shi enthusiastically. Whispering many secrets to her ears, they felt no shame about their disheveled state, knowing very well how seductive it could look in other’s eyes. Except the male leads, of course.

.....

“I have to leave again. This time, I’m not sure when I’ll return,” Bing Shi glanced at their unwilling stares. Her Angels were truly formidable to be able to persuade Cheng Young’s fiance into resignation. She praised them proudly, “You did exceptionally well.”

Cheng Young stopped before his fiance. She looked strikingly different from the clingy, and arrogant Cian Le in his memories. He took her loyalty for granted, now that he lost it, he was entitled to get it back, “Return home before your shameful act spreads out.”

“Cheng Young, I deserted my family, my country just to get a glimpse of you. Yet, you joined hands with another woman. In this entire world, even if everyone betrayed me, how could you?” said Cian Le, attempting to get back with him, forgetting her previous words. Listening to the loud booing from the girls, the encouraged Cian Le threw the pillow in his face, “You go back home! This lady is staying back!”

“Such a thick skull. Do you realize how many people you’ll inflict with your actions?” His usually bright and handsome face became dark and gloomy, frightening the nearby girls. “Do whatever you want...” catching the pillow, he spat out, “You’re nothing but a burden to the great general’s family.”

Cian Le immediately sobered after she heard his hurtful words. Just where did she go wrong? She had it tough even when there was no woman besides Cheng Young. Now, her chances became even lower due to a farmer’s girl?! Her hate only increased when she saw how Tian Shi received all the admiration from other girls too. With bloodshot eyes, she glared at Tian Shi, the cause of her demise, “I’ve trained my whole life to be a perfect wife, to become a queen. So why did you have to appear and destroy everything?! I hope you’ll burn in the deepest part of Hell!”

“Huh?” Astounded that she became the center of attention, Bing Shi gripped her head in pain, inky darkness sank into the marrow of her bones, “Ugh...”

[“Kuro, painkillers, please.”]

[Yes.]

[“What a timing. Does the world consciousness want to turn me into a pitiful heroine?”]

[With you as my host, I’m not sure anymore, LOL.]

“Tian Shi! Are you alright?” Everyone asked in worry. Curses in ancient times were always taken seriously.

“Mm... It happens when a storm is about to come.” Bing Shi nodded, lightening the mood, she blamed her pain on barometric pressure. (2) After taking her superior meds, the headache lessened immediately.

Everyone looked at Cian Le with accusing eyes, “Stop bullying Tian Shi!”

“Are you all blind?! Don’t buy her flimsy act! She’s trying to gain everyone’s pity!” Cian Le pointed at Bing Shi who tried to blink away her tears, laughing at her misfortune, “Didn’t you screw me over enough? What more do you want?!” She then turned towards other’s direction as feeling of taking revenge emerged, “Have anyone ever thought that I’m the victim here?!”

The only person who thought of Cian Le as a victim was currently being shunned by the ‘victim’ herself. No wonder Cian Le was hated so much in the past. Unable to look at a greater picture, an ungrateful girl like that would send anyone to a raging inferno. Fu Lian’s sister changed only after she went through great torture, being used as a gardener until exhaustion, without being given access to any kind of entertainment.

‘Speak about helping someone...’

“Hold her down. I have an urge to clap Miss Cian Le’s cheeks,” Bing Shi cracked her knuckles, about to put some common sense into Cian Le. She was in no mood to exchange wits with little girls.

When the girls held Cian Le’s limbs in place, Bing Shi came near Cian Le, squeezing her cheeks, her nails sank into the smooth skin. Eyes shrouded by a gray veil, she spoke out softly, “What makes you think that I’ll put up with your crap just because you’re a pitiful kid who was abandoned by her fiance?”
