Chapter 122 Two Cats, One Courtyard – Part 2 (2/2)

”Hmm.”

Hua Shi kept her mouth shut. She did not want to admit it.

Every night that she dual-cultivated with Tong, she noticed it. Tong did not look at her, but he searched for Friday through her eyes and her body. Whenever he talked about Friday, his eyes sparkled as if he was a kid who talked about his favorite toys.

She was jealous.

There was no girl in the world that never wanted to be the number one person in the heart of her man. Hua Shi did her best to get Tong to look at her as herself, not a replacement of his ex-girlfriend.

Hua Shi admitted that her relationship with Tong started because of her perversion. Then it evolved into a partner, then a sex-friend, then a husband-and-wife.

In the beginning, she did not mind if Tong would return to his ex-girlfriend.

But it was different now.

She wanted him for herself.

She wanted him for her child.

The child needed a father.

Her selfishness as a woman bloomed for the first time in her life. Hua Shi was not willing to give back Tong to Friday.

Thus, she came up with an idea when she realized that Friday came for Tong. Hua Shi spoke.

”I have a proposal… about Tong.”

”… What proposal?”

”I'll return him to you.”

”Oh? That's surprising.”

”But… I'll only return him to you in the next life!”

”Huh!?”

Hua Shi made a decision. She would not give up on him in this life no matter what. She was at a disadvantage in the overall situation. Once this trial was over, they would be sent back to the Netherworld, which she did not have to confidence that she could be with him again.

But she could be with him in this world as long as they were alive. Secondly, they had unusual high lifespans which were her advantage. Hua Shi had to exploit it to delay the return.

”I know that you're a devil. You're way more powerful than me, and I won't be able to fight you once we go back to Hell. But this is our trial! This is our world! You have no right to suddenly show up to take him away because of your relationship in the previous life!”

Dong Bai frowned. She came here to correct Tong's skill, so he would not forget her after he returned to hell. As times passed, things got more complicated than she had imagined.

'If I remember correctly, Medusa told me that the infection can spread to the other partners of the carrier. Tong is infected, but the mutation isn't completed yet. I don't know if this girl is infected as well. But if she does, then the baby in her stomach is going to be one of us too.'

Feeling complicated, Dong Bai scratched her head in frustration.

Devils of Hell had an absolute law, they could not harm each other regardless of the situation. This law was made to restrain the unruly ones or every demons or demoness in Hell would cause a ruckus for their selfish desire.

'Shit! If she's infected, she will join our ranks in the end! Then she can reunite with Tong and claims him if I refuse this stupid deal!'

Hua Shi did not realize, she had the upper hand of the bargain she had offered Dong Bai. Hua Shi was at risk of being infected with the soul mutation that Friday spread to Tong. If Hua Shi was infected with Tong's such disease, she would be forced to join Hell after she departed from this dimension.

'System! Can you tell me if this girl is infected?'

Dong Bai asked the system to clarify her doubt. She prayed that Hua Shi did not catch with the mutation disease.

[*Ding* *Ding*]

[Damn right! She'll be one of you for sure within twenty years!]

[Oh, the baby is one of you, too! Hahahaha!]

[Oh, oh! I almost forgot. She made a Soulmate Contract with Tong.]

[So, if she dies, Tong dies, too! You can't touch Hua Shi, darling!]

Hearing the system obnoxious laughter and mocking messages, Dong Bai wanted to smash the message screen to pieces.

She raised her head to glare at Hua Shi who was looking at her with sad and jealous eyes.

”I can't do that! You'll have to follow my order! First, I'm his only main wife, and you're his concubine! This means you'll have to be my servant or I won't let you touch him ever again!”

Hua Shi was surprised. The counteroffer was more generous than Hua Shi's initial bargain. If she accepted this, then she could be with Tong in the next life. Losing the privilege of the main wife in this world was worth it, but her pride told her not to give in.

”I refuse. I can be your servant or Tong's concubine in the next life, but in this life, I won't hand over the main wife position to you!”

Dong Bai frowned. She was about to bargain, but she realized that she was still a child at the moment. Claiming that she was the main wife with her current age would ruin Tong's reputation in this world. For his sake and his future, she had to concede.

”Deal. You'll be his main wife in this world. Once we return, the role will switch and I'll be the main wife.”

”Alright.”

Dong Bai and Hua Shi sighed, and their hostility died down. However, a small trace of jealousy was still in their eyes.

Staring at Hua Shi's stomach, Dong Bai asked.

”How many weeks?”

”Eleven.”

”I see.”
