Chapter 851: You’re Truly Beautiful
Ning Shu had never encountered a task-taker like this who was so skilled at manipulating a person’s heart.
Ning Shu continued to lower her head, but she tilted her head to the side and drew close to Song Ning’s ear to say softly, “You’re truly beautiful.”
Song Ning’s lips curved in a smile that was enchantingly beautiful. She was truly a work of art.
Ning Shu then said, “But, I like men.” Ning Shu pushed Song Ning away and endured all the complicated feelings that were in her heart right now. “I like men.”
Song Ning: …
Song Ning looked like she had been struck by lightning. She had completely turned to stone and didn’t snap out of it for a very long while. In the end, she pointed at Ning Shu. “You, you…”
Ning Shu suppressed the desire in her body to smile faintly. “I like men.”
“This isn’t possible.” Song Ning shook her head. “There’s no way you can like men. That’s not possible!”
Song Ning’s expression was sinister as she grabbed Ning Shu by her collar. “There’s no way you can like men.”
Ning Shu said mildly, “I’ll never fall in love with you. That will never happen.”
Song Ning’s expression was sinister and dark. As she gripped Ning Shu’s collar, she said through gritted teeth, “You damned homo! If you liked men, why didn’t you say so from the start? No, anyone who was a man couldn’t have possible be so indifferent towards me.”
Song Ning stared at Ning Shu’s face, then covered her face and started crying. “You’ve made me fail.”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu felt really conflicted. They were both task-takers. If Song Ning failed, would she be killed? However, she truly couldn’t fall in love with Song Ning, much less give her true heart to Song Ning, especially when Song Ning had tried to trick her into doing so.
Song Ning glared at Ning Shu and pointed a finger at her angrily, “I’ll remember you.”
After Song Ning said that, she collapsed to the ground. Ning Shu was startled and she hastily helped Song Ning up. She placed a finger below Song Ning’s nose. She was still breathing.
Ning Shu carried Song Ning to the sofa and sat down next to her to wait for her to wake up. Her entire body felt very weak. This fatigue seemed to come from her very soul. It felt like her brain had completely been overworked.
Song Ning still hadn’t woken up, so Ning Shu started meditating on the sofa.
This was the first time she had witnessed how powerful a task-taker could be. That girl had seriously used like all eighteen martial arts. Despite being a woman, Ning Shu was barely able to resist, so men probably had no hope.
Perhaps some men knew that this woman didn’t love them, but they were still unable to pull themselves up out of her charm.
Ning Shu shook her head. When she got back this time, she definitely had to exchange for a heart-clearing chant so that she’d be able to resist external enticement.
And the most important thing she had to do was to make her spirit stronger. There were seriously too many enticements in every task. She had to think of a way to control her emotions and her internal greed.
Ning Shu harbored an even more ambitious hope, which was to stand at the peak and overlook the myriad of planes. She wanted to live for as long as the world existed, to become an eternal existence.
However, right now she was just a primary task-taker, an existence that was pretty much like an ant. What she needed to do right now was to make sure she survived and continued living strongly. Although hard, this road was colorful.
She would never have another chance like this in her life, so no matter what, Ning Shu was grateful to the system for giving her this opportunity. Perhaps she was just a tool, but she was willing to be a valuable tool.
All efforts reaped rewards, and likewise, everything obtained came with a price.
One day, she’d become strong enough so that she’d never have to fear anything and would be able to stand side by side with those powerful existences.
