Chapter 145: Ulterior Motive [2 in 1]
"Urgh. . ."
The bright light blinded his vision, making everything blurry and fuzzy. As the time passed by, he was getting used to the illumination and at last, he could open his eyes and see the surroundings.
The sun was already far above, illuminating everything within his vision. The day was up. He was surrounded by the Stone Trees. But not long after, he felt the pain all over his body. It was only a little pain, but it was enough to remind him of what had happened before his consciousness faded away.
"Peng Zhen!"
His voice was a little hoarse, but Zheng Zanglie didn't care. While holding on his wounded shoulder, he moved his gaze toward left and right, searching for Peng Zhen and Zheng Yi.
But, he was bound with disappointment as he couldn't see anyone. No, he saw something weird.
A black-haired little girl was squatting in front of him, observing him with her sparkling eyes. With both of her hands on her cheeks, the little girl was really young. Her feature was delicate, much more delicate than Peng Zhen. But seeing that the little girl had no wound, Zheng Zhanglie believed that this place was not real.
It sure was a dream, or perhaps, the heaven.
When he was thinking like that, the little girl opened her mouth, "What are you thinking, big brother? Your body still hurts? Or maybe, you want to pee-pee?"
Zheng Zhanglie chuckled and answered in a careless manner, "Sigh. This dream is f****n real. Is this some kind of afterlife? Because I died in the place full of these weird trees, this place copies the bunch of weird trees? Too real, too real to be true. never once crossed in my mind that afterlife is real."
"Weird trees? This stone-like tree? This tree's name is Weird Trees? What a weird tree." The little girl only glanced for a few seconds before returned her attention toward Zheng Zhanglie.
The silence appeared between them, making Zheng Zhanglie felt awkward. The other party, the little girl only watched him as if he was something like an animal in a zoo.
In the end, he broke the silence.
"And? Who are you? Are you some kind of angel that accompanying some good people after someone dies?"
"Don't you know some manner? Introduce yourself first before asking another's name. You are already this big, but you still don't know such a thing. Are you stupid? Also, there are no good people who proclaim as a good people. you must be a fake. . ."
". . . Zheng Zhanglie. And now, can you introduce yourself?" Zheng Zhanglie forced his smile, trying to not mind what he just heard. It was not like his patient was good. In fact, he was bad with patience. But this case was different.
He didn't want to offend some angel or God's messenger while giving his best impression of the other party.
"My mother says that I must not introduce myself toward some unfamiliar being. Don't ask my name since you will not hear it from my mouth." Mingyue made a zipping gesture over her lips.
"Uhuk. . ."
Zheng Zhanglie wanted to strangle the little kid, but in the end, he didn't do it. After taking some breaths, he calmed himself down.
He understood since the little girl in front of him was not real, he shouldn't waste his breath at all. Maybe that little girl was not some kind of angel, but rather some evil being.
Because of his handsomeness, he was being targeted by the evil being's princess. Later, he would be forced out of his willingness, to serve that evil being's princess forever. He would be slaved forever, until some heroic Princess Knight saved him from the peril. In the end, he would be married to the Princess Knight and they would live together forever.
[Sigh. My charm is too high, no creature called woman who can resist my charm whether it is in the past, present, or future.]
But the little girl didn't care about Zheng Zhanglie's thought and asked another question, "So, what's the matter with the woman called Peng Zhen? Are you that eager with making some babies?"
"UHUK! UHUK! . . ."
Zheng Zhanglie was choked and surprised by such a question from the little girl. He wanted to retort, but the little girl continued her question.
"Why are you making babies? Do you like babies? But, if the babies are born, who will you like? The mother or the babies? And, if the babies grow up, what will you do? Will you not like them anymore, or will you make another baby with your ex-babies? But if it is like that, how about the mother? Will you not like her anymore? Will you leave her? But if the mother cannot have babies with the mother, what will you do? Find a new mother?"
"SCREW YOU! HOW CAN YOUR QUESTION ALL BE RELATED WITH BABIES? IS THERE NOTHING ELSE COME INTO YOUR MIND? LIKE LOVE, LOVE, OR LOVE?"
"Er, if it is because of love, will you never make babies?" The little girl only blinked her eyes while answering truthfully.
"Huuf. . . Little girl, how about both? With love, I will make a baby with her? That is very feasible, right? No, it is the only answer!"
"Then, if she cannot have your babies? What will you do? Throw her out? Leave her alone and find another love? And if your love is with another man, can you have babies?"
"!@#$%^&*"
Zheng Zhanglie was tongue-tied with those various question.
"See? You are such a baddie! Thank goodness that I didn't tell you my name, or else I don't know what will you do to me!" Mingyue placed both of her hands on her waist while glared at Zheng Zhanglie. Wrinkling her nose and glaring at Zheng Zhanglie, the little girl snorted with disdain, "Fortunately, you didn't have any chance to do anything toward big sis Peng Zhen. Or else, what will she do if you leave her? Humph humph!"
"No! I won't do it!" Zheng Zhanglie felt wronged while he turned his whole body toward the little girl. "My feeling for Zhener is pure! And I will never do such a thing!"
With the gaze full of scepticism, the little girl leered, "You will say it at the present. But no one knows what will happen in the future, and the future of the future. In the end, you are all talk. Just say it truthfully, why do you nail your poisonous gaze toward big sis Peng Zhen? Is it because her chest has melons? Big big boing boing melons?"
"U- uhuk uhuk. . ." Hearing the surprising thing, Zheng Zhanglie coughed and his spits flew around.
"Sigh. What a mannerless guy." The little girl knitted her eyebrows, but she still continued, " Or is it because you want to make babies with her?"
"Heck! Who teaches you to be a lewd little girl! Let me beat that guy!"
But the little girl didn't have any reaction at all as she stared directly on Zheng Zhanglie's eyes. "Don't try to divert the conversation, old man. Answer my question."
"O- old man!?"
A simple word which wounded Zheng Zhanglie's fragile heart. He was not even thirty yet, how could he was called old man?
"Sigh. Old man, be honest, can't you? Just say the truth. There are only the two of us here, just the inside of his heart. Come here, come here. Tell me." The little girl leaned her body forward while moved her right ear at the direction of Zheng Zhanglie. The little girl made it as secretive as possible. "Don't be scared. If you are scared, don't talk too loud. I am prepared. Talk, talk!"
"What you want me to talk about!" Zheng Zhanglie didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh when he saw that the little girl in front of him was no different from some gossip auntie back in his hometown. "And I will remind you, don't talk about babies first."
"Sigh. Fine, you didn't want the babies, but you have some ulterior motive right?" The little girl's voice was lowered at the end of her sentence.
"You little girl, tell me. What kind of ulterior motive do you think I have. Don't vilify someone, okay?"
"You stone-head. Do you want me to spell it out? You don't have any shame?" The little girl had a disbelieving expression while covered her wide opened mouth.
"!@#$%^&*"
"You shy boy, fine, you win. Let's change the question." The little girl shook her head. She changed her position into the comfortable one as she continued, "So, what makes you interested in big sis Peng Zhen? Don't answer with her big butt for an easier time to make babies. You are the one who said don't talk about babies, right?"
Zheng Zhanglie cleared his throat and said, "What with this big butt thing. I am a prideful person, not some scoundrel which was described by you."
Taking a few steps back, the little girl had a disbelieving expression as if she was thinking something inconceivable.
". . . You are not interested in a little girl like me, right?"
". . . Please wait for at least five or ten years for you to be included in my strike zone, please."
"What is your proof! You evil fiend! Sex offender! Little girl lover! Lolicon!"
"Say what you want to say, I don't care. I am an adult, not easy to offend." Zheng Zhanglie shrugged as it was a little unsightly if he was seen bickering with a little girl. He understood that he was a charming person, but that didn't mean that he was willing to charm a little girl.
"Your pee-pee thing is small??"
"FINE, LITTLE GIRL. YOU WIN. COME! LET'S FIGHT NOW!" Zheng Zhanglie forced himself to stand up. But his body shook uncontrollably and in the end, he fell on his butt. He felt ache all over his body as if he was smashed by something.
"Sigh. Don't do something stupid with your body." With pitying expression, the little girl reprimanded. "If only you be truthful with me. Sigh, too hot-headed. Stone-head and hard-head. What will be the next one? Egg-head? Ball-head? Shiny-head?"
". . . All I need to do is answer, right?"
"Yes, of course! I have been telling you that."
"Fine. . . Cute."
"Ara. Thank you, but I am more interested in the answer rather than your flattering."
With glaring expression, Zheng Zhanglie snorted, ". . . Who said that I am complimenting you? I just answered your question!"
"Humph, smelly. I bet you lie just now." The little girl moved her gaze somewhere, but she returned her gaze fast without Zheng Zhanglie realizing it. "Tell me the truth! It must be because of those boing-boing big melons, right? It is big and soft, everyone will love to hug it, right???"
With faked serious expression, Zheng Zhanglie answered, "Ehem. Of course, not. My love for her is pure, as pure as a glass of milk, as beautiful as the starry night. I don't have any ulterior motive!"
"Bu- but, someone said that a love between the opposite sexes because of babies, while the love between fellow men are defined as pure love-"
Without waiting for the little girl to finish her sentence, Zheng Zhanglie interjected with his righteous expression. "I have an ulterior motive. A super duper ulterior motive. so, please dont mention those pure love, okay?"
Rather than being suspected as gay, he would rather admit that he had an ulterior motive. Moreover, this place was an afterlife. Hence, he could say anything he wanted without any other people knew about what he had said.
Giggling as her body shook, the little girl shot her curious gaze. "So, what ulterior motive you do have? As expected, that bouncy boing-boing, right?"
"Sigh. She is the cutest in my hometown. Ah, she and I came from the same hometown, we are a neighbour."
"So, you have been harbouring such dirty mind toward big sis Feng Zheng from that time?" With disbelieving expression, the little girl's body moved back a little as if she was repulsed.
"Uhuk. . . I won't say that it is a dirty mind. But what can you do, every time she was together with my sister, the former's smile was too dazzling, attracting my gaze all the time. When I realized it, I stared at her for some time. And since then, I have always been conscious of her." Zheng Zhanglie's gaze grew softer as he began to tell his story.
The little girl strutted her head with her hand while she was enjoying the story. "Hoo, so you are a stalker? It is a little surprising since not only big sis Feng Zheng, but also your sister didn't realize it at all. Your skill is great!"
Zheng Zhanglie understood that bickering with the little girl would only make his patience ran out. Because of that, he wouldn't retort back while he continued with the story.
"Zhener is a pure girl, while my sister never realized. Well, maybe because I reined my desire, that's why no one realizes it until now. Sigh. Unfortunately, I don't have any chance to confess."
"You smelly, you haven't answered my question yet. So, what is your ulterior motive? Those bouncy bouncy things, right? Don't say that you are not interested in them."
"Sigh, fine. Her boobs indeed are enchanting, big and soft." Zheng Zhanglie made an obscene gesture with his fingers as if he was rubbing it. "The biggest one in hometown, even many ogled when we arrived at the Black Iron City. Sigh, I want to, no, I have to protect those boobs until it becomes mine, until I can enjoy those."
"Hoo~ And then, what will you do in order to enjoy those bouncy boing-boing?"
"Sigh. It is an adult's matter. A little girl shouldn't know about it."
"Hoo~ So, this is a matter that a little girl like me shouldn't know?"
"Un. You understand it very fast."
Zheng Zhanglie was elated since the little girl didn't pester him anymore, but his happiness ended too fast.
"Oooh, so big brother wants to do something bad that even a little girl shouldn't know about it?" A cold and indifference voice came from Zheng Zhanglie's behind.
When the latter turned his head, his face was blanched as if blood was all drained from his body.
The one who replied to him was his sister, Zheng Yi, who had her hands on her waist while glaring at Zheng Zhanglie. She was angered, even faint veins appeared on her temple.
And behind her was Peng Zheng who lowered her head, so low that Zheng Zhanglie couldn't see her expression. But from her reddened ear, Zheng Zhanglie understood that the cat out of the bag.
But there was one thing that he didn't understand.
"I- isn't this an afterlife? Hey, little girl?"
But the little girl aka Mingyue didn't pay any attention as she ran toward Peng Zheng and hugged the latter.
"Big sister! This smelly is a bad guy! He tried to trick me! Also, he wants to bully me earlier!"
Not waiting for Zheng Zhanglie to defend himself, Zheng Yi kicked his face.
"YOU! YOU DARE! HOW DARE YOU, EH? HOW DARE YOU! YOU DIRTY-MINDED! YOU LECHER! EVERY WOMAN'S ENEMY! SCUM OF THE SCUMMIEST! NEVER ONE CROSSED IN MY MIND THAT YOU ARE LIKE THIS! EVEN A LITTLE GIRL BECOMES YOUR TARGET? HOW DARE YOU? GO DROP DEAD! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
"N- no! I didn't target anyone's little girl-"
"SHUT YOUR CRAP! YOU EVEN MAKE LITTLE ZHENER CRIED! YOU KNOW YOUR FAULT? YOU KNOW YOUR SIN? IF YOU DO, THEN DIE! DROP DEAD! GO KILL YOURSELF!"
Zheng Yi didn't care about the wound since there was a healer nearby. And even if his brother was really dead, it was also fine. even though they were brother and sister, but she evidently was much closer with Peng Zheng rather than her own biological brother. And she could say that his brother was an acquaintance with Peng Zheng because of she herself.
And if there was something untoward happened to Peng Zheng, Zheng Yi wouldn't know what to do to atone her sin.
Zheng Yi knew that Peng Zheng was too kind, and she would have a hard time to refuse something. The latter was akin to a clean paper, kind and pure. Her beauty was not very outstanding, but she was very likeable. Hence, Zheng Yi always stayed together with the latter, to drive out all annoying flies.
She always acted as Peng Zheng's protector.
But she never expected that her own brother was the part of that annoying flies.
Hence, the fate of Zheng Zhanglie was well-deserved.
And in another side, Mingyue was having fun with the plump mounds. Even though it was not as plump as Miss Chen's, it was still the same plump. "Big sis, that baddie is bad. Don't get close to him, okay? Not to mention, he is smelly too."
But Peng Zheng didn't answer, only her reddened face grew more reddened along with steams appeared above her head. No one except she herself knew whether it was shame out of anger or shame full of happiness.
