Chapter 36: First World: I Will Make You Mine

The anxiety one feels when their date suddenly ditches them is what Qie Ranzhe was feeling as he paced back and forth impatiently waiting for Lin Jingxie too come back. He couldn't help but wonder if he had taken things too far causing Lin Jingxie to flee from him. Qie Ranzhe scratched his head constantly looking in the direction he had run off to contemplating on whether to follow him or not. He really felt like punching himself for being too brazen earlier. Lin Jingxie was like a cat that had to be coaxed into liking you and he had just cornered that cat causing it to flee.

Qie Ranzhe felt so stupid deciding to clear things up with Lin Jingxie and was about to follow his footsteps when sudden cries for help grasped his attention. He paused in his tracks looking back at where the frightful cries were coming from. The urge to go after Lin Jingxie was intense but he just couldn't walk away from someone who needed help. With a clenched jaw, Qie Ranzhe followed the sound only to find a girl hanging upside down in a tree with her ankles tied by a rope. She had stumbled upon one of the traps set by hunters to catch prey.

Because she was upside down, her dress was complying with gravity exposing her sensual lavish thighs. She was pinching her garment in between her thighs to stop it from riding any further down. At least it was covering her punani otherwise Qie Ranzhe would have seen everything. Zhao Huangzhi could sense someone's arrival but the person didn't make a sound to make their presence known. She swung around looking for the culprit while yelling, "What are you staring a-?" before she abruptly paused dazzled by Qie Ranzhe's charming appearance.

Qie Ranzhe was lazily leaning against a tree trunk with his arms folded across his chest all nonchalant as she swung around to face him. His was busy pondering on whether he should just walk away because to him it didn't make sense why a girl would wander here all alone in a remote part of the forest.

If he saved her then she would never learn her lesson. He was about to walk away when his muscles tensed up recognising her face. She was the seductress that bewitched Lin Jingxie the other day. 'Why would I save my love rival, fuck this,' he thought taking a step with every intention of walking away.

Zhao Huangzhi had been blushing profusely having a cherry blossom moment that one would say it was love at first sight. Her heart was pounding against her chest drooling over those alluring phoenix eyes staring back at her. Her eyes tracked downwards admiring his full lips wondering if they would taste as sweet as they looked. His masculine build had her curious, she just wanted to touch him. Her pervy thoughts only dispersed when she saw him turning to walk away causing her to panic.

"Wait, please don't leave me here. I will give you anything you want," she pled with a pained expression, her eyelid rimmed with tears. She had been in the forest looking for the guy she saw at the market the other day as her servant had found out that he was most likely one of those infamous ruffians.

Despite her status, she didn't care about his background. That boy had to be hers and she was going to make it happen whatever means necessary. Besides, she knew a poor boy was much easy to control especially when they fall helplessly in love.

She didn't expect to get lost and find herself falling into a trap. She had been hanging upside down for almost an hour with a flushed face and veins bulging out. Who would have known the boy would deliver himself to her but she didn't anticipate his attitude towards her to be so taciturn.

Qie Ranzhe didn't even stop when she called out to him and so Zhao Huangzhi pled with him some more hoping to sway his heart. "I will give anything you want just please let me down," said a desperate Zhao Huangzhi with tears flowing down into her dangling hair. He only stopped when he heard her sniffles blackmailing him into assisting her. Qie Ranzhe walked over scolding her before landing a hand, "A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be hanging out in the forest all by herself. If you hadn't met me and ran into an even worse character, what kind of ending would you have had?"

Zhao Huangzhi only heard the 'beautiful girl' remark blocking her from hearing the rest thinking, 'As expected you aren't immune to my looks,' while wearing a timid countenance. Qie Ranzhe unsheathed his sword and was about to cut the rope when he heard Zhao Huangzhi whining, "Wait don't cut it I will fall do- AHAHAHAH!" The screams were when he ignored her protest and cut the rope. She came down at light speed shutting her eyes anticipating the impending pain but she was suddenly cushioned from her fall landing straight into Qie Ranzhe's arms.

This is like every girl's dream, landing in the arms of a handsome hero in such a romantic set up and so Zhao Huangzhi wholly enjoyed it that is for a brief moment. Qie Ranzhe suddenly dropped her like a hot potato saying, "No need to thank me, I don't want anything from you."

He was about to walk away when he suddenly sensed an incoming stampede heading their direction. Zhao Huangzhi was still on the ground rubbing her sore butt when she noticed the vigilant look on her prince charming. She quickly put on a helpless wounded animal expression asking, "Wh-whats wrong?" while getting back on her feet. Her fingers reached out to grasp his sleeve but she was instantly hauled into the tree just as the herd of angry wild boars approached their vicinity.

"Shit!" cursed Qie Ranzhe running towards the direction Lin Jingxie had run off to earlier leaving behind a damsel clinging onto a branch holding on for dear life. She watched his disappearing figure being chased after by pissed off wild boars thinking, 'I will make you mine.'
