MTL - In Search of Love - Chapter 13

In the autumn of the 28th year of the apocalypse, Gu Xi and her companions finally eliminated the last Zombie Emperor in the world.That night, at the celebration banquet held at the base, Gu Xi took the fine wine handed to her by a companion, and then... she collapsed headfirst.When she woke up again, it was already the 58th year of the apocalypse.30 years had passed, and the beautiful world that Gu Xi had once yearned for and for which she had fought tooth and nail did not appear.Although human society had restored order, a new food crisis arose—after plants and animals underwent a second mutation, a bizarre energy that the human body could not digest, absorb, or excrete through metabolism suddenly appeared within them.And she, Gu Xiaoxi, also had a brand-new identity—a refugee girl picked up from the ruins by a group of pioneers.The newly-minted undocumented girl, Gu Xiaoxi: No more fighting and killing, no more shouldering the future of all humanity; just needing to cultivate one hundred acres of wasteland to achieve the simple dream of eating well, drinking well, and getting a peaceful night's sleep is pretty good.Later, she discovered that her former companions had all become powerful figures, while she, the former apocalyptic hero, had become a person who was never recorded in history.Gu Xiaoxi: ?

[Warning: R18+] She has to make the Devil fall in love within 100 days to regain her original body!

=======

Phantomflake's soul got separated from her body after committing suicide in front of her enemy, Nathan Sparks, the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz Mafia.

She woke up only to find out that her body (which was in a coma state) was being held captive by Nathan 'the Devil!', who was trying to prolong her life. And what was his motive? To kill her by his own hand and torture her to death!

Nathan has a deep resentment against Phantomflake as she was the one who assassinated the most precious person in his life. He wanted revenge!

And things just got more exciting when a magical creature appeared in front of Phantom's soul, giving her a ridiculous mission in exchange of regaining her body back.

“Make him fall in love with you within 100 days!” The flying creature said, pointing his small paws at Nathan who expressionlessly stood next to her sickbed.

With her eyes going round, Phantomflake made an 'you-got-to-be-kidding-me' face at the flying creature.

No way! That's a mission impossible! This guy loathed her so much. How would she do that??!

Excerpt:

“I did everything! Why don't you like me?”

He just shrugged his shoulders and looked at her expressionlessly, making Abigail more annoyed.

Abi: “I cooked for you!”

Nathan: “You almost poisoned me.”

Abi: “I clean your big mansion!”

Nathan: “You broke our century-aged vase family heirloom.”

Abi: “I serenade you!”

Nathan: “You are out of tune.”

Abi: “I took the bullet for you!”

Nathan: “I didn't ask you to do that.”

Abigail squinted her eyes at this cold-hearted devil. She's losing her patience.

Abi: “I almost stripped in front of you but you didn't even react!”

Nathan: “You didn't take all your clothes off.”

Abi: “...”

This time… his lips twitched, smirking at her

Abigail rolled her eyes skyward as she realized that the devil was just teasing her. 'Pervert!'

“Fine. I give up! It's so hard to seduce a robot!” She murmured.

She was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a pair of strong arms caught her by her waist. Then she just felt her body being pushed on the wall.

Nathan's face was now a few centimeters away from hers. She could feel his fresh breath fanning her cheek. “If you want to seduce me then do it properly!”

'Shit! What is he trying to do here?' Abi's heart was thumping like a drum roll inside her chest. Her mind went blank.

Before she knew it, she just found herself being kissed by the devil hungrily and aggressively.

'Damn?! Is this for real? The Devil is kissing me?!'
