Chapter 31 Alice's Dream (April Fool's Day Gift)
“Wuh!!”
Beichen let out a soft cry of pain, suddenly opened his eyes, then hit his forehead with something, and a soft "hiss" sound came from above his head.
She touched her forehead in confusion and blinked hard to wake herself up.
She looked around and saw the clothes she was wearing, and she was stunned in surprise.
...She returned to her residence in T City? She was wearing her old school uniform?
Strange, didn’t she drop out of school and go to City A?
Wait, whose voice did I hear just now?
"Xiaochen? What's wrong with you?"
“──”
She gasped and looked up at the man who was looking down at her.
"...Reddis?"
"Xiaochen, you were confused after sleeping, right? My name is Yin Lingsi. Don't tell me you lost your memory after waking up." Reddis pinched her face with a calm expression. Only if you paid close attention could you see the concern flashing in his eyes.
"...Are you still acting, Redis?"
"You're the one acting, aren't you? If you want to test me with such an old-fashioned method, don't bother. I didn't know you had such a feminine side." Redis (?) said, smoothing her hair. "I bought a K-Buffet burger. Want some?"
"eat!"
Beichen answered instinctively, then coughed a few times awkwardly.
"Ling Si?" She asked tentatively, "Where's grandma?"
"Go buy some Coke at the store downstairs, right? Didn't we say we were celebrating your placing in the top ten in your grade today?"
"ah……"
Grandma is still alive. ...She is still alive and by my side.
Beichen covered his mouth, stammered as he sat down at the table, staring at Redis... no, maybe he should be called Yin Lingsi - he was dazed as the hamburger was handed to him.
"Xiaochen, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Yin Lingsi stuffed a French fry into her mouth and asked in a low voice.
"Well... I had a very long... complicated dream."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"...I dreamed that we broke up and you became a prince."
Beichen deliberately omitted the tragic death of his grandmother.
"Did we break up after I became a prince, or did I become a prince after we broke up?" Yin Lingsi frowned and looked at her with a bit of amusement.
"If it's the latter, your subconscious is really weird."
"Well, also, I met a lot of people...very nice people."
"What kind of person?"
"Hmm... a somewhat dull but incredibly considerate older brother, a pair of bullying yet protective twins, an employer who constantly withholds wages, a stoic but seemingly fierce but actually kind senior, a playful and somewhat frivolous red-haired man, a boy with sharp tongues, a strange creature with a tail, and a cool soldier with a sniper rifle..."
The more she talked, the lower her mood became.
If it was just a dream...I'll never see them again?
If it was just a dream...
"Hey, let me tell you," Yin Lingsi interrupted her sadness.
"Are all these people in the dream you mentioned... men?"
“…Uh, yes.”
"...It's fine if you told me you dreamed about other men right in front of me, but so many? Are you trying to imply that you're sexually unsatisfied?"
"Eh?! No...no!"
Beichen twitched his lips and jumped a few steps - Yin Lingsi's face didn't seem very good. Although he always had a stern face, there was a subtle difference in his aura.
"Also... even if you want a handsome guy, you should at least unify your style. There's a prince, a sniper rifle, and a tailed monster. What era are your dreams from?"
"Dreams, dreams are inherently illogical!"
Beichen protested with a red face, while Yin Lingsi chuckled and patted her head, then leaned forward and kissed her forehead lightly with his lips.
"Don't think about that kind of nonsense," he said. "I am the real person standing in front of you."
"Um……"
Beichen finally pulled himself out of his memories and responded in a low voice.
When she woke up from the dream, the Queen of Hearts and the March Hare playing card soldiers had all disappeared. Alice returned to her sister with a confused look on her face, like a child abandoned by the world.
Chapter 1: Ling Shuang: Between Humility and Pride
He has questioned the world in his heart more than once.
Why are there two highly intelligent races in this world?
Why, when weapons are no less intelligent or physically fit than their opponents, are driven, exploited, toyed with, and evaluated like props by humans simply because of their physical constitution?
——As if their purpose was nothing more than to kill the enemy.
It's so unfair, isn't it?
Ling Shuang was born and raised in the Star Spirit Mine near the town of Wilvis. The people in the new weapon evaluation department who were responsible for his training at the time gave Ling Shuang high praise. He was promoted to Sanmang in a very short time. He was bathed in all kinds of praise since he was born, which made him think that he was a favored child of heaven.
However, when he entered the outside world, he discovered that he was just a commodity priced higher than other similar products.
His first owner was a human daughter.
Her father paid a high price to buy his first-year contract rights and let him accompany her. He had a handsome face, so the young lady looked at him with a satisfied and shy expression, with excitement and flattery.
shallow.
When Ling Shuang was mocking her in her heart, she gave him a name that was full of pink flavor, but he told her mercilessly: I already have a name, it's Ling Shuang.
After that, after following that young lady into contact with the human world, he became more and more contemptuous of humans.
A bunch of weak minions, without the help of weapons, can't even deal with the possessed moon messenger in normal times, let alone the star disaster.
They are a bunch of good-for-nothings who spend a lot of time and energy on being picky about the taste of food. They are not like weapons of war who have no requirements as long as they absorb enough star power.
A bunch of vulgar people, seeing that they have good looks, try their best to seduce and please me, without even thinking about what kind of ethnic group the war weapons are proud of.
It is such a ridiculous race that they live in peace and prosperity, but take weapons for granted as amulets. They do not make any effort to make progress, but rely on them to sleep soundly, and even arrogantly ask the weapons to do this and that - without even considering their own weight.
Disgusting, disgusting, really disgusting, this race.
If there were no weapons that required humans to hold in order to defeat the possessed Moon Messenger and absorb the star power, this race would have been eliminated by weapons thousands of years ago and disappeared from this world.
Therefore, Ling Shuang has always been very fortunate that he is a member of the Yeyue clan with excellent bloodline and superior quality. He does not have to suffer grievances like his other compatriots, swallow his anger and allow himself to be ordered around and toyed with by humans in order to make a living.
A year later, he took the contract money given by the rich man and left.
His first owner, the young lady whose name he could no longer remember, chased after him, crying and begging him to stay, saying how she truly loved him. He looked back at her sarcastically, and with just one sentence, the young lady was speechless and could only watch him leave with tears in her eyes.
"You like me? What do you like about me? ...My face and my bloodline?"
——As he said this, he looked at the other person's tears and felt a morbid pleasure in his heart.
After gaining his freedom, he came to settle in Wilvis.
After he had money, he could hire Lingwusi to help him hunt and eat, so he was not in a hurry to find the next contractor.
Humans are disgusting, but there are always a few who are acceptable. He doesn't want to be like those short-term weapons that keep changing owners without any scruples, so he has to choose carefully.
——Ling Shuang thought so, but he didn't realize that his critical mentality was actually almost the same as the mentality of humans who chose weapons, whom he despised.
And so, two years passed in a daze. During this period, Ling Shuang did not work hard to improve his strength - he wanted to leave the joy of working together to advance to the contractor he chose, so even though he had excellent qualifications, he still remained at the fourth round level.
In this mood, he met Xiang Beichen.
Before this, he had always scoffed at the idea of love at first sight. How could feelings, without tempering, reveal their true nature and bear beautiful fruit? How could something that suddenly erupted withstand the test and scrutiny?
But when he saw the girl holding her own weapon in her hand and smiling at him, Ling Shuang suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing like an electric shock.
He felt annoyed for a moment - annoyed at how he could have such subjective feelings towards a woman he had just met.
The other party was an eighth-level spiritual warrior. She was not extremely beautiful, but gave people a clean and sincere feeling. Facing the ridicule of the people around her, she did not get angry but did not let it go. She just shut their mouths with a word in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. So many low-level star spirit cores were obtained by her own hands, which at least proved that she was patient and not impetuous, and she was not the kind of person who was moved by material desires.
Ling Shuang nodded secretly - yes, it really meets her standards.
However, when Ling Shuang saw the weapon standing next to her, she also felt a surge of disgust.
A three-pointed quantized seed, his astral spiritual power pulse was laughably low. He was so arrogant that he followed her around without knowing his own limitations. Even if he wasn't afraid of being laughed at, he should have thought about the girl. How much of a hindrance would he be?
Before he knew it, he had joined the conversation and lured her into signing a contract with him with an extremely low price.
He knew that he was actually testing her. If she accepted his temptation regardless of the weapons beside her, it would prove that she was just a vulgar woman.
But at the same time, he subtly felt that it was only natural for her to choose him after throwing away the quantitative longsword that was not worthy of her.
Even he himself didn't know whether he expected to be rejected or accepted.
Therefore, after hearing her refusal, although he felt unhappy, he was also relieved in his heart. However, when he saw the disgust that flashed in her eyes when she looked at him, and the completely different warm smile she showed when facing the long sword, he could not control his anger.
In the duel, he was beaten, and then he used Gu Yinyue to seriously injure her. He then asked her to kneel down and salute him. Things were like a horse that had broken free from its reins, galloping in the opposite direction of his wishes completely out of control. By the time he felt regretful, it was already too late to turn back.
No. No.
Whenever the woman saw him at the union, she would either look away or frown, a look that pierced Ling Shuang's heart. But every time he tried to get close to her, to explain and apologize, his body would ignore the cries deep within and do something that disgusted and annoyed her even more.
He pushed her further and further away until she couldn't bear it anymore and said to herself, "Don't follow me."
The moment Ling Shuang turned her head, she finally understood the fear deep in her heart.
Why is her body always unwilling to obey her will, why does it always stimulate and provoke her, why is she unwilling to honestly express her thoughts.
Because if you say it out loud, it means you surrender.
——It means that I have become like my first master, a pitiful and humble being who only thinks about one person all day long and foolishly tries every possible way to please that person.
Ling Shuang is such a proud person, how could he allow himself to fall into such a situation?
So he decided to give up on this woman who had caused him so much trouble. ──But even in this moment of anger, he still had a small hope in his heart, hoping that she would notice his indifference and come to see him.
As a result, what he waited for was that Xiang Beichen left Wilvis Town quietly at some point without notifying anyone except Gu Yinyue.
"Ha ha……"
He fell back into his chair and laughed out loud.
Why are you being so self-indulgent, Lingshuang? I don’t even consider you my friend.
Longyun noticed his dejected look and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"She will be going to the capital in half a year. Let's have a good talk with her then. Don't make things awkward anymore."
Ling Shuang covered her forehead tiredly.
Half a year. ...Half a year?
Can you really... endure it for half a year?
