Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 142: ...Babe, it’s not funny. "

She had an underground palace in the forest for such emergencies. While walking there Qie Xieling was glancing down at his chest wondering if this was how drag queens got chests when they were originally flat. It did look incredibly real.

Boran took the chance to walk beside Yunning and asked, "Your Highness, don’t you think he has changed?"

Yunning hadn’t really had any interaction with Eling but even she could tell something was off. He usually stood by King Luo’s side with a sullen expression like someone owed him money. He never used to argue with anyone. Instead, he would directly attack shutting that person up. But now he was quite expressive and talkative which was weird.

"Maybe a near-death experience changed him," she said while glancing back. When she saw him squeeze his chest her lips twitched as she continued to say, "he is also perverse."

Qie Xieling who had no idea that he had been labelled as perverse fixed his cleavage thinking if there was a girl as pretty as him he would most definitely pursue her. Translation, ’he was in love with himself that much’.

While they were walking through the eerie silent forest he suddenly heard an annoying voice that he hadn’t heard for a long time.

"Wow, nice tits," said Leong Jinn as soon as he came back down to his lair. He had slept a full eight hours catching up with his much needed sleep. From the looks of it, time in the game moved faster than in the real world. To Qie Xieling he hadn’t spoken to Leong Jinn for a day or two but it was only a couple of hours for Leong Jinn.

"What the fuck do you want?" answered Qie Xieling in his mind. He clenched his fist in anger while slowing his steps.

"Wow, you look so cute when you are mad. I like your girl version better," he said while sifting through hours of game footage.

"You are a fuckin pervert," replied Qie Xieling in his head.

"You know I don’t like being called that. Lin Lin, you better start being nice to me otherwise you will lose your life," he said as the AI system engaged level two punishment.

Qie Xieling suddenly felt a surge of lava coursing through his veins. Riddled with pain he collapsed to the ground while biting his lips tightly.

The loud thud drew the two’s attention and they walked back. Seeing him curled on the ground Boran gently kicked his knee while asking,

"What is wrong with you? Stop acting and get up."

But Yunning realised that this was no act. She crouched down and cast a spell to deduce the cause whether it was a curse or an attack.

"What is it?" asked Boran and Yunning shook her head. She found nothing wrong with him.

Qie Xieling’s eyes rolled to the back of his head before he blacked out. The pain was so bad that he passed out cold.

When he opened his eyes he found that he was in the black void again. The pain was gone but he would much prefer it than staying in the darkness.

He curled up in on himself and didn’t dare make a sound. "Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts," he chanted silently.

Just when he thought he would stay alone for hours he heard a familiar voice making him sit up with a jolt. "Damn, I almost got erased out of existence," said the voice and Qie Xieling yelled,

"Jolie?!"

Jolie who had been searching everywhere for him and almost got wiped out of existence while trying to infiltrate this place was a little startled.

"Lin Lin? Is that you? How the hell are you in this place? Oh shit... that bastard recreated boss’ game," said Jolie but Qie Xieling wasn’t paying attention.

He was just excited that Jolie had found him. He almost wished he could hug it.

"Jolie, did you get the IP address?" he asked.

"Yes, I did. I am going to be rich," it said and Qie Xieling arched his brow.

"Oh, and I found you. That’s great news too. Let me go out and report to the boss. Just... just stay put and don’t show it on your face that I found you otherwise he might move you," it said before withdrawing.

"No wait... tell my parents that I am okay and we are underground in a basement or something," said Qie Xieling.

"Okay, kid. I will tell them. Stay put," it said before withdrawing completely.

Leong Jinn had no idea what a monster his mentor had created. He just heard the sound of a breach warning. When he pulled up the surveillance he saw that there was a group of armed men at his doorstep.

He smiled sinisterly while switching off the breach alarm. They were at his doorstep just not at his current lair. This was why he had decoys in place. The real issue here was how did they find it so fast? He patiently waited for them to get far enough into the underground lair before typing a string of commands on his keyboard. Wen Qinxi who was in the van right outside the lair suddenly received a message.

Unknown: Master, you should have left well enough alone.

Unknown: Now that you have messed up my plans I will take away someone special to you in compensation.

Unknown: It’s only fair.

Unknown: Don’t worry they won’t feel anything.

Wen Qinxi’s brows furrowed. He noticed a suspicious signal in range.

"You fucker," he swore while trying to jam the signal. He tapped the earpiece in his ear and yelled, "Ran-ge, get out of there... now!"

Qie Ranzhe’s steps paused as he looked up and met the camera blinking a red light.

"Everybody out!" he commanded his murderous gaze fixed on the camera like he could see the person on the other side. Leong Jinn felt goosebumps but thinking that Qie Ranzhe would be dead soon with no body to be buried he relaxed.

Bang bang bang... bang!

A series of explosions followed and the van Wen Qinxi was in was toppled over by the force. Wen Qinxi banged his head on the edge of a desk before collapsing to the floor. Coughing vehemently he got up his ears ringing. He couldn’t feel any pain despite him being hurt.

He reached out to tap the earpiece but found that it wasn’t in his ear anymore. Under the flickering light, he hauled things around searching for it.

When he found it his eyes lightened up a little. He put it in his ear and called out, "Ran-ge.... Ran-ge," but there was radio silence. His heart suddenly dropped to the floor thinking the worst.

His voice trembling he called out again, "Babe... don’t you do this to me. Babe, it’s not funny." The more he spoke the more his voice became brittle. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on Leong Jinn and tear him to pieces.
