|”I feel BETRAYEEED!”|

After finishing all his duties, Xuan Mu walked towards his wife. In an attempt to console her, he draped a blanket over her shoulders. If Nathaniel Hauxley continued to be on Silvia LeClére’s side after finding the truth of what Silvia did, everyone would take him for a fool. But that wasn’t the reason behind her feelings of ‘betrayal’.

|When you wanted to fight everyone, you forgot to exclude me.|

|I’m just following my wife’s wish.|

Bing Shi stopped her chanting abruptly, recollecting how he asked her who she wanted to fight and she answered with everyone. Alright, she would admit her mistake, or maybe not. Let’s just say it was a part of the plan.

|”I feel PLEASANTLY betrayeeed!”|

.....

She pointed at the place she wanted to visit for their late-night date: he followed her wriggling finger, and his eyes landed on the green labyrinth inside the botanical garden.

|”You killed my poor, poor, precious rest days.”|

|How is alienating everyone considered taking a rest?|

She didn’t know for sure. Maybe if she alienated everyone including her believers, they would lose their faith in her, and she would be free from her godhood.

|”I planned to take a rest... a rest from people. Think of a loner like Xue Bi. Nobody bothered her with their problems, tried to bootlick her, or tried to befriend her. She didn’t care about anyone’s opinion. If someone wanted to pick a fight with her, she would unleash her dogs.”|

|Wouldn’t it be better to move out of the country?|

|”I can’t. Dai An wants to stay here and train so she can catch a dragon for herself.”|

“...” When Xuan Mu had a hunch of her true intentions, like her not having a speck of interest in befriending Riley or anyone else, but why? She was fulfilling the old Riley’s wish of taking revenge on his sister.

Xuan Mu didn’t let her bring him down with her at first. Taking an unbiased stance, Nathaniel Hauxley continued to be a well-respected person. His position even increased. Bing Shi felt ‘betrayed’ due to his appearance. By coming here, he confused everyone one more time, showing that he still cared about Silvia.

|What about a girlfriend? You’ve always wanted one. I went to great lengths to bring food Lady along for you.|

Bing Shi lifted her head at the dark sky glimmering with shining stars, getting a view of his chin.

|”I’m happier without one.”|

|”I really liked my twin sister though.”|

Xuan Mu continued to pull her wheelchair without a change in expression, “You should apologize to your brother.”

|What about making a baby? I mean blood-related body for Stinky Bun?|

Bing Shi moved her fingers into a gun, tickling his chin with the tip of her nails, she pulled the trigger ruthlessly, “What about me? Where is my apology?” Did he just ask her to give birth? Alpha women didn’t have wombs, but because this body was born an omega, she had one. Whether it was functional or not, she had no desire in knowing.

“Silvia, I’ve let you lie about our relationship only because you saved my life,” Xuan Mu thought about whether biting her finger was worth the trouble that’d inevitably follow, “You’ve taken it too far this time.” Being in a secret relationship became their personal thing. There was something endearing about the secrecy and privacy they had.

Going along with Riley’s subtle hinting, Xuan Mu decided to end it with Silvia LeClére and led Bing Shi towards her dormitory, “From today onwards Nathaniel Hauxley has nothing to do with Silvia LeClére anymore.”

“What...” Bing Shi widened her eyes, grabbing his hand in disbelief, “No...you can’t do this to me.” Don’t give out such double vibes! Xuan Mu was supposed to be her teammate and treat her coldly! Throwing a tantrum on the spot, she regretted not excluding him when he asked who she wanted to fight. Now, he was making fun of her because of it!

Being under two systems’ constant watch, the couple provoked each other to get out of character. Did they send their system to monitor others? No. XiaoPu was at home with Stinky Bun because that little boy couldn’t stay alone without surveillance, and Kuro still didn’t return from the expedition.

Xuan Mu’s omnipotence was terrific, but there was nothing more boring than stalking people he didn’t care about.

Focusing only on a few wasn’t for Bing Shi, who specialized in moving crowds, no, population of people to force an individual into her territory. And from her past experiences, monitoring a broken soul or a unique soul without being found out by them was an impossible mission.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

*Crash*

*Crash*

The moment Bing Shi locked the door of her dormitory room, she threw a few flower vases, and other things she didn’t like off the tables and shelves, alarming the two systems. The systems immediately notified their hosts, “Why is this happening to me?! Aaaah!”

Bing Shi threw items into the air randomly as if trying to shoo away some invisible flies, “Those two better run! I’m going to destroy them for what they’ve done to me!”

At the other side of the dormitories, Riley watched Silvia LeClére through his system. Did the female lead go crazy? Who was she talking about, and what did she mean by destroying? Were these ‘who’ people, himself and Elera Mai (food lady)?

The previous Riley LeClére fell prey to his sister’s scheming calculation. His family didn’t approve of him becoming a beta. Only Silvia was the one who supported his decision, but she only supported him when they were alone. In front of others, she kept wearing her white lotus facade.

If someone knew the future, the first thing one would usually try to do was to get on the protagonist’s (most powerful person’s = male lead’s) good side. But the current soul residing in Riley’s body was an extremely intelligent and independent person with high dignity, and would never stoop so low. The one who should be trying to get on his good side should, and always be, the opposite party.

Riley sat on the armchair of his dormitory room lazily, “This lord is not the original Riley, you understand, right~?”

Able to see the same scene as Riley, Victor massaged a remedy for the scar across Riley’s bare chest while begging for forgiveness pitifully, “I understand, I was wrong for hitting you.”
