Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185 - All The Careerists (15)

“You mean that they really like each other?”

“That is possible,” Elder Feng replied.

“They are both...” Women.

“...”

After discussing for a while, Shen Yu and Elder Feng still didn’t know Ming Shu’s real intentions.

Shen Yu gritted her teeth. “No matter what, they cannot get together!”

Shen Pin was a princess. No one knew what would happen if she got together with the prime minister.

To stabilize her position, they must not get together.

“I feel that we can use this issue to...” Elder Feng whispered to Shen Yu. “That way, those ministers who support the prime minister might change their standing.”

Shen Yu exchanged a glance with Elder Feng.

...

Ming Shu let Shen Pin go the moment they left the hall. Shen Pin shamelessly pestered her. “Lady, I want you to hold me.”

Hold what?

I’m looking for a deserted place so that I can hit you.

I want to beat you up for a long time!

Ming Shu looked around them. She pulled him toward a quiet spot.

“Lady, are we going on a date?”

“Shut up.”

Shen Pin shut his mouth obediently. Ming Shu beat him up. Shen Pin was in a daze. He remained stunned for a moment before crying pretentiously.

The crying was so fake Ming Shu just ignored him.

Fake!

Let me watch you continue acting!

“Lady, when are you marrying me?” Shen Pin saw no reaction from Ming Shu so he stopped crying and got up from the ground.

“I was just fooling Shen Yu.”

“...” Shen Pin was astounded. “You... you promised me.”

This woman is going back on her words?!

Scumbag Shu said indifferently, “I regret my decision. Your Highness, don’t you know how fickle-minded humans are?”

Shen Pin: “...”

You liar!

Women are all liars!

“I’m so hungry. I’m leaving now. You can return to your palace yourself.”

She used too much energy fighting just now. Ming Shu took out some snacks and ate to replenish some energy. Then, she left without Shen Pin.

Shen Pin...

From the way he killed the assassin last time, he was not a weak person. There was no need to worry about him.

Yes, there is no need to worry!

Shen Pin didn’t say anything. Ming Shu realized that he didn’t chase after her nor did anything dangerous. She was puzzled.

... For her own safety, she decided to stop him from entering her room.

Ming Shu left the imperial palace. She told Jing Yu to not follow her and went to walk around the streets. For some reason, she reached the guest palace of the Beiyue State.

Since she was here...

Let’s go in and try the chef’s cooking.

Ming Shu walked in directly.

Luo Yan had changed into normal clothes. He was drinking tea currently. Ming Shu sat on a chair beside him.

“I knew that you would come.”

Luo Yan put down his cup and started being his crazy self again.

She would definitely place importance on something if it implicated Qi Yu.

Sigh, I think that I’m starting to understand her better.

Ming Shu glanced at him. “Do you have food?”

Luo Yan: “...”

Ming Shu waited calmly for her food. No matter what Luo Yan said, she didn’t respond.

When the food started coming in, Ming Shu ate the food immediately. Luo Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you worried that I will poison you?”

“Oh, then you will have to find me again.”

“...” Not cute at all!

Ming Shu felt more comfortable after eating some food. She continued eating as she asked, “What did you mean just now?”

Luo Yan sat casually at the side and smiled. “I meant what I said. If we move through the different worlds continuously without resting, our bodies won’t be able to handle it.”

“You told me...” Ming Shu looked at him. “What am I?”

Luo Yan: “...”

Ming Shu continued, “Oh, right. You said that I’m a virtual NPC, an NPC that started to have my own thoughts. Why am I so powerful?”

Luo Yan got interested. “Why don’t you believe me? I feel that this excuse is perfect.”

He used this excuse to fool many people. Most of them believed him.

Only her...

She was the only one who never believed him.

Of course, after interacting with her for so long, he realized that she was indeed special.

Ming Shu paused. The dessert melted in her mouth. Sweetness spread through her tongue.

She lifted her teacup and took a sip. Then, she slowly asked, “I want to know where you know all this background information from.”

Background information? Luo Yan pondered for a moment. Was she referring to the virtual NPC background?”

“That is...”

Luo Yan stopped. He leaned back slightly and crossed his hands in front of his chest. “So are we having an open conversation now?”

Ming Shu smiled. “That will depend on your sincerity.”

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes. “My sincerity?”

Ming Shu looked at him innocently. “You are the one who is begging me.”

Luo Yan: “... I like girls who are cute.”

Ming Shu suggested, “You can take me as a man then. I think that it is good to be a male protagonist.”

Luo Yan: “...”

Luo Yan started at Ming Shu. He weighed his options in his heart. In the end, the desire to leave this place was stronger.

“I received a document with your information written on it.” Luo Yan paused. “Your name, identity, and background are all written in the document.”

“Why are you so concerned about me? Are you in love with me?”

Luo Yan smiled. His eyes shimmered. “It’s hard to meet someone like you. I want to... experiment with you.”

Ming Shu: “...” A locked-up psychopath is still a psychopath.

Ming Shu tapped her fingers on the table. “You came from the same place as Qi Yu? Where are you from? What do you all want to do with me?”

“Aren’t you a smart person? Why don’t you guess...” Luo Yan couldn’t help but tease her.

Ming Shu threw an empty plate at him.

Luo Yan tilted his body slightly. The plate smashed on the ground.

“Tsk, how can Qi Yu bear with you?” Luo Yan patted his clothes. “You are so fierce and not cute at all. Not cute at all.”

“That’s why you are still single.”

“...”

What is wrong with being single?

So what if I’m single?

Did singles offend you!

Luo Yan glared at Ming Shu. “You can tell me where you come from first!”

Ming Shu met Luo Yan’s gaze. The atmosphere turned tense.

“I’m not in a hurry. Since you don’t want to talk, we can chat another day.” Ming Shu stood up.

“Qi Yu and I came from the Time Control Department.” Luo Yan gritted his teeth.

Ming Shu slowly returned to her seat. “Shall we have another plate of dessert?”

“Eat, eat, eat. That’s all you know. Why aren’t you fat?”

“I’m sorry. It’s not my fault that I can’t grow fat.”

“...”

How did Qi Yu bear with her?

I must mock him when I go back.

Luo Yan asked his men to serve some desserts before continuing, “As for you... we realized that something amiss was happening in some worlds. They were caused by you. Qi Yu’s mission was to kill you or woo you.

“Are you disappointed? He didn’t have good intentions from the start.”

Ming Shu remained nonchalant. “It would be weird if he had any good intentions.”

Luo Yan: “...” F**k, why is this person’s thinking so weird?

Isn’t she angry?
