Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Shen Qianshu retreated step by step. She yelled repeatedly. “It’s not me! It’s not me! Don’t come to me!”

The young girl pounced on her, tightening her hands around her neck and yelling with all her might. “Shen Qianshu, give me my life back. Give me my life back! I want to kill you. I want you dead!!!”

“Ahh!!!”

“Qianshu, wake up! Qianshu!” Ye Ling was really anxious. What’s the matter with this girl? She had a nightmare. What nightmare? Why is she so devastated? What is she crying for?

Shen Qianshu was crying badly. She could not wake up from her nightmare for a moment. Ye Ling grabbed hold of her and got up. Then, he kissed her on her lips, muffling out all the sound coming from her sobs.

Your fears, your guilt, your debts, and your everything will be repaid by me. Fret not.

I will bear the responsibilities!

He kissed her so hard that Shen Qianshu almost lost her breath. She opened her eyes wide all of a sudden, and Ye Ling let go of her. Shen Qianshu got up and hugged Ye Ling. “Master!”

She hugged Ye Ling while shaking uncontrollably.

She was shivering really badly, and her fears engulfed her. She was really afraid, and for a moment, she did not know what to say. She was really fearful deep down. She had dreamed of the young girl who had come to seek revenge.

Every single young girl that she killed had come at her.

She remembered the faces of each and every girl she had killed.

When the bullets landed on them, she could almost feel the pain.

By law, a person who was forced to kill another person was not guilty of a crime. But deep down, she still could not get over it. She also understood that if she did not kill others, she would have been the one that was dead. She understood that this was a world about the survival of the fittest.

This was different from the world she had previously known.

But she was Shen Qianshu.

A girl who was raised in an ordinary world.

Although she was not an obedient girl, she never committed any crimes. She always followed the law.

“Don’t be afraid!” She heard a calm and stable voice beside her ear. The amount of fear in Shen Qianshu’s heart lessened a little. Her emotions had become very mixed.

Master must have been able to tell that. 

She was soaked in sweat.

“Don’t be afraid!” Ye Ling said. “I’m here for you.”

Shen Qianshu’s emotions calmed down very quickly. Ye Ling wanted to switch on the lights, but Shen Qianshu stopped him. “No.”

“Okay!” He listened to her. When Shen Qianshu said no, he would not force her to. He went along with her in everything.

“Master, am I very weak?”

“No, you’re very strong.” If anyone in the world dared to claim that Shen Qianshu was weak, he would be the first to disagree. They must be underestimating Qianshu.

“I thought that I would never have a nightmare.”

“If you kill someone peacefully without feeling a tiny sense of guilt, then you aren’t the Shen Qianshu that I know.” Ye Ling twirled her hair. Her hair was soaked in cold sweat.

“It’s natural human behavior to feel guilty after killing others. What’s more, they were children. They have been dragged into such a war from a young age. It was not on their own accord. So, I came up with a change to be made today. At least, we can prevent killings in the future.” Ye Ling explained.

“You… did that for me?”

Ye Ling remained silent and caressed her hair lightly. Since when had he ever cared about life and death or whether the selection test was cruel or not? In fact, he approved of that method.

Only a man who was able to have a strong heart, a sharp mind, and a bit of luck in times of distress would have the right to take on the throne with the most superior powers.

He brought up the amendment all for her.

For her to feel a little less guilty and sinful. For her to feel a little calmer and forgiven.
