Calamity Messenger

Chapter 416: Chapter 346: A One-Sided Delusion

Suddenly, Ying Rushi’s face darkened, and she turned her head to gaze at Yan Qing with a sorrowful look.

"This time it’s not my fault, you moved on your own." Yan Qing looked innocent: "It was involuntary, understandable, common human behavior."

"Aren’t you proud of yourself, you lecherous dog?" Ying Rushi lightly bit her lower lip, looking at Yan Qing with eyes full of tenderness, and said with grievance in her voice: "Always bullying me."

Yan Qing was stunned. The naturally wicked Royal Family of the Ying Family had fully shown their terrifying power. He took several seconds to regain his composure, "Then are you willing to be bullied by me for a lifetime?"

"No, I’m not."

"Hehe, if you’re willing, then it’s not bullying."

"Clearly you’re not this mean when interacting with Hui," Ying Rushi muttered: "You’re just targeting me."

Ying Rushi wasn’t entirely unwilling for closer intimacy and touch, but it wasn’t quite her preference either. She yearned more for spiritual exchange, yet every time the atmosphere was just right, Yan Qing would always disrupt it with crude desires.

She wished to discuss the mundane, but Yan Qing preferred to delve into the mundane... Can’t he be less lecherous for once! Even just once, is it okay!

"There’s a difference between Little Fox and you." Yan Qing immediately explained: "Also, I’m not targeting you, I was like this when holding Black Wolf and Red Snake—"

Elbow!

Ying Rushi delivered a backward elbow strike, and Yan Qing suddenly experienced the feeling of his heart being hit with a Siege Hammer.

"How dare you mention them at a time like this?"

Ying Rushi’s tone was filled with a mix of embarrassment and anger, and she truly didn’t hold back this time, giving it her all. She had been trying hard to temporarily forget Black Wolf and Red Snake, for once she thought of them, she couldn’t avoid confronting a fact: she was actually the late entrant as the third party, or perhaps the fourth.

Although in the Central Plains, the culture of lifelong monogamy is not popular, it is common for messengers to have many wives and concubines, but if both sides are messengers, then it’s a different story. Generally, if both sides are messengers and high-turn messengers, it’s typically one husband and one wife, although the household may have many concubines, they don’t count, and there is only one legitimate wife officially.

Except for a few exceptions, most messengers couldn’t accept sharing partners, and Ying Rushi was no different; she believed Black Wolf and Red Snake were the same. Actually, contending for partners is a common thing, after all, partners are carefully selected, so it’s normal for others to fall for them, but she had a good relationship with Black Wolf and Red Snake, which made the situation tricky.

Moreover, to be strict, aside from Red Snake, both Black Wolf and she were equally guilty.

After all, they knew Yan Qing and Red Snake were close, yet brazenly joined the competition; it’s just that the Zhou Kingdom hasn’t been civilized, so Black Wolf lacks moral baggage. As for the Qi Kingdom being the orthodox of the Central Plains, Ying Rushi’s moral upbringing didn’t allow her to calmly do such things.

"I thought you didn’t mind." Yan Qing said in amazement: "You were previously so delighted chatting about them with me."

"How could I not mind!" Ying Rushi puffed up in anger and glared at him, nervously asking: "If I minded... what would you do?"

Yan Qing rubbed his chin: "Then I’ll have you get used to it."

"Why should I get used to it? Didn’t you say you were going to choose one?"

"When did I say that." Yan Qing felt inexplicable: "I won’t just pick one."

Did he never say that? But why do I remember he said it...

Ying Rushi was momentarily stunned, but soon enough gritted her teeth and grabbed his neck: "You don’t pick one, do you want them all!? Do you think Black Wolf and Red Snake would be willing?"

Yan Qing’s eyes lit up: "If they’re willing, would you be willing too?"

Ying Rushi wanted to say she wouldn’t be willing, but when she thought about them both willing, excluding herself, she couldn’t accept such a possibility, she broke free from his arms and said: "I, I... I’m going to sleep, you lecherous dog!"

"Good night."

Moving Murong Hui’s legs slightly aside, Ying Rushi lay on the bed in a daze, unable to sleep, her mind in chaos for a long time.

Yan Qing expressed his feelings, making Ying Rushi very happy, but Yan Qing actually wanted to make a multiple-choice. Ying Rushi didn’t like that. More importantly, Ying Rushi realized that she seemed to have no solution.

Black Wolf and Red Snake were both members of the Thief’s House, the importance of the Thief’s House is indisputable. If Yan Qing was firm about choosing her, and if she were to reassure Black Wolf and Red Snake, maybe they could team up together, but Yan Qing was so greedy, should she initiate a competition to drive them away? Even if the ultimate victor was decided, the Thief’s House would be fragmentized.

Additionally, Yan Qing seemed to really like them; he would be sad... Ying Rushi inwardly cursed herself as foolish, why should she care about that lecherous dog’s feelings now? If it were Ying Le, he would undoubtedly dominate and eliminate all rivals, monopolizing his love.

But she was not Ying Le, she would rather feel sad herself than let the person she likes be sad.

Unable to come up with a solution after thinking through it all, Ying Rushi was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt Murong Hui cuddle over, whispering softly into her ear:

"Little Fox, are you with Yellow Dog?"

Ying Rushi opened her eyes to see Murong Hui looking at her curiously, eyes bright with curiosity. She instinctively wanted to deny it, but for some reason, she blushed and nodded.

"Congratulations!" Murong Hui giggled: "I knew you two would end up together, you are the most compatible couple I’ve ever seen."

"Thank you." Ying Rushi said shyly.

"Actually, I kinda like him too." Murong Hui said a bit bashfully.

"I can tell," Ying Rushi laughed: "I’ve never seen you be so close to a male since childhood."

"I don’t even know if it’s love, I just want to be with him, make him angry, make him laugh, want to touch him and smell him... But don’t worry, since you two are a couple now, I’ll be more careful and won’t cling to him like tonight." Murong Hui paused, cautiously asking: "Can we still hang out together in the future?"

"Of course." Ying Rushi happily nodded: "We’re lifelong friends."

"Tomorrow I’ll help get you two some alone time." Murong Hui excitedly said: "Whether eating, sleeping, or bathing, I’ll avoid you, just pretend I don’t exist, I’ll try hard to hide and not affect your romance. What do you think?"

"I think it’s not good."

"Then I’ll leave it to me, I’ll definitely... huh?" Murong Hui paused in surprise, "Why not?"

"I certainly hope you bless me and him." Ying Rushi caressed Murong Hui’s cheek, eyes showing a hint of tenderness.

"But this side of you is nothing but a wishful illusion."
