Bing Shi quickly put the phone into her backpack. The situation differed from LuLu Tan’s (ARC 3), whose identity didn’t matter. Her career as a celebrity was at risk.

Mo Luwei skimmed through the menu, “You should settle your debts first before you treat your fans for dinner.”

“Congratulations, you found out my sins and secrets, now what? Are you going to destroy my life with them?” Jumping right to the issue of her photos, Bing Shi looked down at her plate. Just the sight of the food made her feel nauseous. Taking a bite, she then placed her utensils aside.

?Mo Luwei: ? From today onwards, you must break all the contact with other men and be my slave to repay your debts.

In the past, she had to gain lots of power to accomplish what she needed, but with this man, she didn’t need to bother. Building a company from scratch just to slap him in the face wasn’t worth the hard work she would need to put in. Investing a bit of her spare time to gain extra recognition was her objective.

Standing up, Bing Shi walked towards the restrooms. Her footsteps became more and more rushed until gradually she sprinted into the cubicle and leaned over the toilet, throwing up the contents that churned inside of her stomach.

.....

Foreign memories entered her head; since she was already used to Silika’s look and body, the memories that entered her head were like videos starring herself. This wasn’t a simple, devil plan where one made up fake news to trap someone: the evidence was real. She couldn’t redeem herself as innocent, even with some proof that proved her innocence.

Lu Kai, without hesitation, followed Bing Shi into the women’s restroom. Like Bing Shi, he sprinted into the bathroom, though he had no need to vomit; no, he had the urge to commit violence. How much longer did he have to hold back from hurting those bastards? Countless demons, holding torches and pitchforks, mercilessly stabbed at his flesh; the whispers in his ears tempted him to utterly obliterate certain people.

In a moment of rage, once he discovered Silika Lin’s nudes, he detonated Mo Luwei’s phone. He didn’t care if he became Ru Quan, Ziek, Xuan Mu or someone entirely new. Bing Shi was worth more than the Moon and the Sun combined; who cared if he were to turn into a monster? As long as she was safe, and well taken care of, and only held by him alone, would he be satisfied. She was, after all, the only person who mattered in all of his lifetimes.

Some worried women, who also followed after Bing Shi, stood just outside of the cubicle she occupied. They all were asking if everything was alright and if she’d like a drink of water.

When Lu Kai entered the bathroom, he ignored the incredulous stares thrown his way. He didn’t bother to think about the consequences of his actions as he passed the crowd and touched the handle of the door. He could have kicked the door down but he was no brute. He leaned his forehead against the cold surface as he slowly said, “Silika? I need to see you.”

Bing Shi, once she stopped heaving dryly at the toilet, tilted her head to look at the door. She recognized that voice. Unsteadily, she got up from her knees to open the door.

The women, who gradually recovered from their stunned silence, watched as Lu Kai closed the door to their faces. They were able to mutter amongst themselves, “Li Jie is in the private room number 206.”

As if hypnotized, the group of women ran out to chase after the nation’s idol. Soon, they were making a long chain as more and more women joined in.

Turning around, Xuan Mu helped Bing Shi to hold her hair while patting her back so she could continue emptying her stomach. Mo Luwei had nothing to do with her current state. That was for sure.

Lately, she could barely consume any food. Now it has gotten worse. How did her body withstand her extreme workaholic tendencies during those worlds without sleeping and eating? Oh, that was right: Kuro’s rejuvenation pills. She saved some in her space, but he forbade her from taking more. She amassed a strong addiction to the pills, but with her growing addiction to the pills, there was an even stronger backlash.

Her spirit was slowly being damaged; the withdrawal of the pills caused her to feel worn out. Because of this, her soul also couldn’t adjust in a mortal’s body...

Bing Shi choked on the acid that tried to force its way out of her mouth. Her face, which was lathered in layers of sweat, was paler than a sheet of paper. This made Xuan Mu, who could only watch on, feel powerless. Why couldn’t he help her?

Xuan Mu’s stomach churned at the sight of his lover hurling until there was nothing but an empty pit in her gut. He felt miserable just from seeing the bile dripping from her chin. The only thing that he could do to help her was... wiping away the bile with a few sheets of scrunched up toilet paper.

Flushing the toilet, she leaned into him with exhaustion. Her brain felt like it would swell beyond the capacity of her skull. Xuan Mu offered her a cup of water (taken from his space ring, such a useful item for situations like these) which she gladly took, but even that forced its way up. He tried to strengthen her body with special training, to suppress her addiction but alas...

She still used the pills. It was just that the number of pills she had to take increased with every new dose.

Unable to watch her suffering, Xuan Mu stuffed Kuro’s pill into her mouth in sheer hopelessness. He felt as if he was slowly killing his wife with his own two hands and what a horrible feeling that was.

“I’m sorry,” she quietly said as she wrapped her arms around his torso. She lowered her head so she could hide her face in his chest. His strong pair of arms told everything that she wanted to know: no matter what, he would follow her through thin and thick. He was here, alive and well, what more could she wish for?

She felt a soul-deep tiredness suddenly latch onto her; such a tiredness, rooted deep in her spirit, almost drove her insane. She knew that after taking a pill, she’d end up being all okay, but somehow she didn’t want to feel the process of recovery all over again.

Hearing her breathing becoming steadier with every second that passed, Xuan Mu looked down with surprise. He almost couldn’t believe that she decided to take a nap in a cramped and unhygienic place like this. With a sigh, he carefully sat down and crossed his legs in a lotus position. She made herself comfortable like a little bird inside a big nest.

“Better?” Xuan Mu rubbed her back, asking softly. Sometimes she was busy being everyone’s anchor, not realizing that she was drowning herself in a sea of stress, “What do you want me to do with Mo Luwei... besides sparing his life, hm?”

Bing Shi was still careful around the male lead. A few days of prying around Mo Luwei’s life was enough for her to get a clearer image of the situation.

[It’s suspicious that Quin Yu, who is far more superior than Mo Luwei, didn’t become a male lead. Mo Luwei’s luck must be higher than Aoi Hong’s...]

She closed her eyes, “Su Luqin finished her purpose. He needs a new scapegoat. He’ll do everything to switch his enemies’ focus from Su Min.”

Placing his palm at the back of her head, Xuan Mu turned her face to his direction, examining her recovered complexion, “Does that include courting my woman?”

“That man is messed up. But to protect Su Min...” Bing Shi nodded her head, not believing her own words, “He would even go so far as abusing Su Min herself.”

Xuan Mu placed her arm around his shoulders so that he could carefully support her as she stood up. He chuckled gently, “Don’t you think I should mess with him a little bit more?”

Lifting her gaze at him, Bing Shi pinched her thumb and pointer together, “Just a little, teensy, tiny bit. Hubby, we’re not allowed to break anyone’s soul.”

He pecked her cheek, placing the unruly strand of hair behind her ear, he gave her a cup of water, “Are you alright?”
