Chapter 1998: Just Let Me Cry

Furthermore, the numbers needed in order to be promoted to being an ultra task-taker was seriously too painful.

Counterattacks require that you offer up your soul energy. Are you sure you want a counterattack? Once the deal is made, you cant change your mind, said Ning Shu.

Im sure, Im willing to give 60% of my soul power. Yue Shuangshuang nodded with a firm expression.

Alright, I accept this task. Ning Shu agreed.

One thing that Ning Shu was rather curious about was, what exactly was that mysterious pearl in Lian Bingmengs possession? It had actually been able to make Lian Bingmeng strong enough to summon that many powerful beasts.

Thank you. Yue Shuangshuangs soul gradually disappeared. Ning Shu opened the system marketplace and exchanged for basic necessities like fasting pills in preparation for starting the task.

Lets enter the task, Ning Shu said to the void.

Understood.

Ning Shu felt the sensation of her soul merging with a body. Once it was fully merged, she opened her stinging eyes. They were burning slightly with pain.

This body was sobbing with her face buried on the table. Someone next to her was pus.h.i.+ng her gently.

Shuangshuang, I never thought that things would end up like this. How was I supposed to know that Mu Ziqi would think that I was the one who was confessing? Im sorry.

Ning Shu lifted her head and looked towards the girl who was talking. The girl next to her was wearing the white robe uniform of the summoning school and her long hair was tied up in a ponytail.

Pretty much all the girls in the summoning school dressed like this.

Her facial features were exquisite, and there was a sort of flamboyant charm to her, causing her to be especially captivating.

Shuangshuang, isnt just a man? Ill introduce you to even better men in the future. Hes the one thats missing out for not liking you. Lian Bingmeng said, Can it be that our friends.h.i.+p is gonna be ruined just because of a boy?

Ning Shu wiped her eyes with a tissue, then blew her nose. Her voice was hoa.r.s.e as she said, Just let me cry and pay homage to my now dead crush. Cant I at least do that?

I knew it, you do blame me. To be honest, I dont get why youre that obsessed over just a guy. Lian Bingmeng shrugged helplessly. Its not like Mu Ziqis the only man in the world.

Please dont use your point of view to look down on other peoples weaknesses. Since you were strong and beautiful, there were plenty of people you could choose from. However, for someone like Yue Shuangshuang, if the person she liked also liked her, then it was already the greatest happiness in the world.

Sigh

This little boat of friends.h.i.+p definitely had to be overturned. The two of them had completely different views of the world and had gone through completely different life experiences. Lian Bingmeng had been an international mercenary, while Yue Shuangshuang was just a weak and sensitive person.

The best interactions were interactions where two people were evenly matched. This was true regardless of whether it was friends.h.i.+p or love.

I dont blame you. I know that Im not a good match for Mu Ziqi. He comes from a n.o.ble family, while Im just a commoner. On top of that, I dont have much talent, Ning Shu said lightly.

Lian Bingmeng patted Ning Shu on the shoulder. Dont underestimate yourself, theres no need to compare yourself with others. To me, youre the best. At least youre better than those people who flatter the strong and bully the weak.

Thank you for the compliment. Ning Shu smiled.

So who was in the wrong in this situation?

From your own point of view, you were never in the wrong.

Lian Bingmeng sighed, obviously relieved. In all honesty, Lian Bingmeng sometimes felt that it was pretty tiring to interact with the sensitive Yue Shuangshuang. She always had to pay attention to her words out of worry that something she inadvertently said would cause hurt.

However, Yue Shuangshuang had a kind heart. Back when she was still known as useless, Yue Shuangshuang was the only one that would stand up for her and speak on her behalf.

This was very rare in a world like this where only the strong were respected. If it had been anyone else with a slightly darker heart, they probably would have ruthlessly bullied her, this person who was even weaker.

Bingmeng, its time to go eat. Mu Ziqi walked in.

Mu Ziqi was quite handsome. Dressed in the academys uniform, he gave off a heroic aura.
