The Highest Bounty - Chapter 169 - The Battle Begins

“Ugh…enough with the threats, sourpuss.” I huffed. He wasn’t the only one that was good at giving people funny nicknames. “And in case you don’t know…having to be in a fake relationship with you is already making life a living hell for me.” I dropped my voice to a small whisper just in case anyone was eavesdropping.We were in an open place after all.“Speaking of our relationship, I’m not sure if you know who Naomi is but she’s already suspecting that something’s off so you better do something about it. If you would have listened to me when I told you how ridiculous this idea was then maybe we wouldn’t have to be dealing with all of this.” My eyes drooped.“What are you talking about?” His brows dipped as he took a step back.Oh wow, he couldn’t even understand a few words. Who would’ve thought that he’d be so dumb?“Naomi thinks it’s unusual for us to be in a relationship.” I drawled with air quotes. “You better do something about it if you don’t want people to doubt you.” I said sizing him up and I was just leaving when I had barely even taken a few steps and something yanked me back.My back hit the wall, and before I could even process what just happened, a warm hand landed on my waist, fingers pressing just enough to make my breath hitch. My eyes snapped up…only to find Liam’s face hovering way too close to mine, his blue eyes sharp and calculating.“What…” My voice came out weak. Embarrassingly weak.“Where do you think you’re going, four eyes?” His voice was low, his breath tickling my cheek.My stomach flipped and I swallowed hard. “Liam, what the hell are you doing?”He didn’t answer.Instead, he leaned in…his lips nearly grazing my ear.Panic surged through me. He was too close. Way too close.“Didn’t you just say I should do something about this girl’s suspicions?” he murmured, his voice dropping into something almost dangerous.I blinked, confused. “What?”He ignored me completely, his fingers tightening slightly against my waist. “And what better way is there to clear someone’s doubt than not giving them room for it?”My heart stuttered and I suddenly became hyper aware of the way we looked…his body caging me in, my hands pressed flat against the wall, his head dipped low, his mouth close enough that if I moved even an inch…Oh, crap.~~~~~~Eleanor is a 23-year old woman who was involved in a car accident on her way to her interview. Unfortunately she doesn't make it and assumes she's going to find herself in the afterlife but instead finds herself in the body of a college student named Theodora.

On her quest for answers she realizes she has to play her part as Theodora in this world which however lands her in a lot of problems.

The only game in my life that makes me laugh: The Lands of The Lunerra... I played this game for six thousand hours in three years, and the day I thought I had done everything I could in this game, I felt a great emptiness inside me. I thought nothing in my ordinary and monotonous life could make me happier than when I played this game. But it didn't take long for me to realize that I was wrong with an e-mail I received the night I finished the game.

Hi! Thank you to everyone who came to read this story. There are two things I want to tell you.

First of all, I first started writing this about two years ago, but I was writing in my native language, Turkish, and on a different site. But unfortunately, the website where I published the series came to the brink of collapse. While I was thinking about where to publish the series, I remembered Webnovel and here I am. So this is my first English novel and I believe I will make mistakes while translating. Please forgive me for these if you encounter some of them. I will do my best.

Second... yes, while writing this novel I was inspired by most of the novels I've read so far. Like The Novel's Extra, that novel is a pure diamond for me and I don't think I will ever reach the level of that thing. So I want to say the first few chapters may feel familiar to you, but I'll do my best to smooth it out.

……………………………………………………………

1. Her husband died in the beast tide in order to save her.
Reborn back to the past, Chu Chu resolutely embarked on the dangerous road to find him
Every time she went to a place where she had heard him speak in a previous life, she would ask the people there: “Have you seen my husband?”
At that time, Luo Ye was only in his early twenties, with a ferocious temperament, indifference and irritability.
When he first found him, he had just finished a battle, sitting on a mountain of white bones with a fierce look on his face, and strangers should not come near
And her nose was sore, and in the terrified eyes of others, she plunged into the arms of the boy who was covered in cold air.
“husband!”

2. Luo Ye has never encountered such a speechless thing in his life
A silly girl suddenly ran over and hugged him and called her husband
He wanted to throw the person away with a cold face, but after seeing the other person’s miserable and crying face, he asked mysteriously, “Why are you crying?”
And gently help her to wipe away her tears
Then those teammates who knew his temperament were stunned, and he was stunned too.

3. I heard that Luo Ye went out and brought back a little girlfriend
Everyone wanted to see what kind of a powerful woman could be able to hold down that bastard Luoye
When they knocked on Luo Ye’s door, the first thing they saw was Team Luo’s irritable and impatient handsome face.
Looking down, they saw a little girl hanging on the chest of Team Luo, who has never been close to women.
Tender hands wrapped around his neck, thin white legs were wrapped around his waist, long hair was swept to one side, and there were still red marks on the exposed white neck.
The girl was still crying and muttering, “You hurt me”
Contrast the cyan in Luoye’s eyes and the stinky face that seems to be dissatisfied
Everyone sent out three consecutive moral questions: Are you an adult? Voluntary? Luo dog, are you human?
Luo Ye was expressionless: Go away.
——
Luo Ye was alone in his previous life. He was betrayed and expelled from the base by the people he trusted. The best brothers died for him.
As a result, I saved someone on the way, so I recruited a sticky spirit for myself.
He has no fixed place to live, and he is on a dangerous road, thinking that the other party will retreat in spite of the difficulties, and she will follow him without flinching if he does not want to go through the wind and snow.
From the clingy spirit full of disgust, to the person he puts on the top of his heart
Even if I forget you, I will remember to love you
[Protecting you is the instinct of the body, and loving you is a sequence engraved into the gene]

A cold boss who doesn’t admit it but is honest in body and mind X A squeamish bag who is very strong but too clingy

Guidelines:
1. A squeamish person may not be coquettish
2. The main emotion, double life, the male protagonist in the early stage has no memory of the previous life
3. Looking for a husband at the beginning, will not meet soon, a dual perspective narration

One sentence introduction: About the fact that my wife will turn into an animal
