QT: Against My Will

“Who knows? Try to scan your surroundings for any danger, and tell me if you feel safe.”

“I think I feel safe,” Bing Shi would recognise Ru Quan no matter how much he tried to hide. Some gazes were the promise of protection; his was all that and more, “I hate to admit it, but I wouldn’t make it if you didn’t drill me through all your training. I apologise for making it more difficult for you.”

“Are you really sorry?” Ru Quan raised his eyebrow. This was how it usually started every time he appeared before Bing Shi. She would try to stall for more time to avoid her routine, “Then take the pill I gave you.”

“No! Serves you right, you badie! I might have apologised, but I don’t regret a single thing!” Dai An giggled slightly, joining Bing Shi in fighting back Ru Quan, “I don’t want to be pretty yet! I’m a ghost, and they are supposed to be scary! I’ve already intimidated a host like Victor, so it makes me quite legit,” she raised her hand into a paw, showing him how scary she was, and how he should be terrified of her now, “I have Dai An, and I’m not afraid to use her, rawr.”

“Alright, alright,” His voice had a hoarse drawl and every step he took to block her flimsy attempts to run away from him was in slow motion as if he had all the patience in the world, “There won’t be any training today.”

“Oh,” Bing Shi retreated her paw, “You should have said that sooner.”

“But...”

Bing Shi drew out her fangs, ready to put them on and attack him with her ‘irresistible’ cuteness, which was a fatal weapon against Ru Quan.

.....

Putting on her fangs, he pecked her fingers, admitting his complete defeat. He was not here to negotiate today, “I want to try out something new with your current body, so could you assist me a little bit?”

A new experiment? No need to ask twice. She loved experiments and nodded her head readily, “Okay, be careful not to scare away Dai An.”

“What do you have me for?”

“Ummm,” Bing Shi looked down in between his legs, “I’ll tell you once I get to see Earl Ester’s mumu.”

“...” Ru Quan’s brows twitched, “Come here,” he quickly clothed her into a new dress and hugged her tightly, “And tell me what you’ve been giggling about this whole time.”

“This is how I always imagined you after I left the palace as Ting Zi,” Bing Shi poked his big squishy tummy, “Like a grumpy old man, but with a more muscular body as that of a general and a head full of grey hair. But Dai An thought that if you were an emperor in the past, you would definitely mature into a smelly old fat geezer. I guess I lost.”

“...” Don’t tell him she thought that this was what he looked like in the past. He told her he would arrive as a full-fledged Ru Quan, so he wouldn’t be surprised if she did, “...” Wait, when Dai An asked him to change back it was due to this?! Did those two just make a bet on his looks?!

He never had a thing for little disobedient brats, but it was Bing Shi they were speaking about. More than an urge to ‘discipline’ her, he wanted to spoil her rotten, “I can keep this look forever if you like it so much.”

Instead of receiving a spank, Bing Shi got pulled out of Silvia’s body. While she struggled to keep her balance in such a crampy space with her huge wings, she got a lovely kiss on her forehead, “Huh...?” Looking around, she was stunned speechless as she got a short glimpse of an older version of Xuan Mu. He swiftly disappeared into thin air, and she was put back into Silvia’s body, “Nooo! You teaaase! I want more!”

She could only remember the worry lines on the side of his temples and how they made crosses with his countless scars of joy. The dark tan on his face and white strands of his hair told of the most incredible journey. And those infamous black circles under his eyes were so deeply engraved, almost as if they were beaten by a forlorn of time. One would expect the croak of old age to escape his lips, but his voice was more like a lieutenant general, strong and distinctly upper class.

“...” Seeing how she fainted on the spot in protest, he chuckled, “What is this reaction? I thought you didn’t care about my looks.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. Let me catch my breath,” She covered her forehead dramatically, “Ahhh. I’m getting butterflies in my stomach, and my face is turning into a tomato... I need help, asap.”

‘I won the bet!”

Sighing, Dai An plucked her lips into a duck face, “The loser gets to kiss your yellow teeth.” When Earl Fester hovered over her face in amusement without taking any actions, her tongue slipped into his mouth for a few seconds before pulling out.

Licking his lips, Ru Quan’s looks weren’t something to be proud of, but compared to Earl Fester, they were definitely more palatable. No matter if his true form was more handsome or not, he would rather not have anyone see it, “Why would you bet on something you’ve already done?”

“I promised to feel something for a millisecond, while she promised to give me some pocket money to burn. Now, I’ll be having nightmares with empty pockets. Thank you.”

“I thought you two shared everything together. Isn’t her money your money too?”

“We made a few bets and she somehow became my sugar mommy. I was not the least bit against the idea of being a sugar baby, but Bing Shi is bad at being mature around me, and I don’t plan to beg for attention like Ziek...” she looked around in alert.

“Fuck you. When did you see me beg for attention?” Ziek showed up sitting at the opposite seats, “I fucking fight for it fair and square. You don’t know shit, so return to where you came from like a good girl, and let me see Bing Shi.”

Dai An frowned when Xuan Mu and Lu Kai appeared with similarly offensive postures. She didn’t like where this was going at all, “I would, but your ass is too tight for me to pass.”

“Then use your fucking finger to spread it up,” Ziek helped Dai An to move her middle finger, pointing it straight up at Ru Quan, “You can start with this part of my asshole.”
