Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 154: Follow me as my bride...

Qie Xieling ran for his life, but he still couldn’t escape as an ugly troll suddenly jumped in front of him with a perverse look on its face.

From its size, he could tell it was a high-ranking troll. His steps stalled as the troll spewed up bile in his path. Qie Xieling almost couldn’t hold down his pathetic dinner from last night. The smell was so unbearable.

With his hand covering the tip of his nose, he tried to run in another direction, but that was also useless.

The troll blocked his path with the nastiest smile Qie Xieling had ever seen. He looked like a greasy old uncle lusting over a young maiden.

The troll licked its lips as it took a few steps forward. From the character display, Qie Xieling found out that this was no ordinary troll but a throgg or king of trolls.

Having received such a big assignment from the future queen of all five realms, he was pretty much determined to complete the task. He wanted to be in good books with her. The problem, though, was that the sorcerer turned out to be a sorceress and a gorgeous one at that.

The king of trolls possessed a grim and malevolent cunning, unlike his drooling and stinking subjects. He indulged in a life of hunting, raiding and killing with no worries, but now that Queen Yana was now a big threat, he had to keep her happy. The problem was that his target was so entrancing with a face like that of a goddess.

At this moment, he found himself stretching out his hand to touch her. Qie Xieling felt a great sense of danger. This man was looking at him like a beast staring down at its prey.

Fearing for his life, he immediately got into character, acting fragile while taking a step back.

"Sir, I am nothing but a humble maiden with no ties whatsoever with those two. As you can see, my magic is being suppressed by them. I am their hostage," he said, showing off the shiny cuffs on his wrist.

King Luo, "..."

He had long slipped back into Eling’s holding bag. Why? It was because he vowed to stick to him just in case he decided to run.

Qie Xieling hadn’t even noticed that inside his holding bag was the little dragon watching like a hawk. He was trying to talk his way out of the situation this stupid game put him in.

The troll king laughed haughtily before saying, "How can that be? I was told that the almighty sorcerer could change his appearance to look like anyone he so desires. It seems the rumours that you can even change genders are true." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Qie Xieling, "..."

What change genders? Eling could change appearance at will, but Qie Xieling couldn’t even do that now because his body was so weak from his near-death experience, and he couldn’t even perform more than three spells consecutively. He was in no way close to the immense power that Eling used to possess.

Qie Xieling showed a slight smile before saying, "I don’t even know who you are talking about. I am just an unfortunate young woman who just got mixed up in all of this. I can’t even use transformation magic because I am being suppressed," he explained, and it seemed the troll king was falling for it.

If Eling had truly used transformation magic on himself when the magic-suppressing cuffs were put on him, he would have returned to his original appearance. The King of trolls’ greed for beauty ultimately pushed him to ignore the obvious plot holes in this argument. He could continue pursuing Eling on behalf of Queen Yana and keep this beauty to himself.

"I believe you... but since you said you were involved with them unwillingly, the queen herself won’t be able to let you go, so how about you follow me, and I will protect you? You can follow me as my bride, and I will give you anything you want."

Qie Xieling, "..."

King Luo, "..."

What a pervert. It didn’t even take long before he wanted to get underneath his skirt. Qie Xieling couldn’t help but empathise with women and girls who had to deal with this daily.

To buy time, he had no choice but to indulge this pervert. As though flattered, he tucked his hair behind his ear and said, "This... I heard his majesty has a horde of brides. I am afraid I can’t even compete with them."

Seeing how shy and coy she was, he couldn’t help but take a step closer while saying, "Are you jealous? For you, I will get rid of all of them and make you my troll queen."

Amidst the heated battle happening behind them, an ugly troll king was trying to lure a young woman into his chambers.

Watching this, Luo couldn’t help but feel annoyed. From Eling’s expression, it seemed like he was really falling for it. He had known Eling for years, and not once had he shown any interest in anything. He found out later about Eling’s drinking and gambling habits accidentally. He was always serious and detached, but now he seemed like an entirely different person.

The fact that he was even tolerating the troll king was astonishing in itself. Magic or not, he wouldn’t give this disgusting creature face.

Unable to quell his dissatisfaction with Eling’s behaviour, he jumped out of the holding bag, and with a swat of his tail, he sent the troll king flying a few feet straight into a tree.

Qie Xieling, who didn’t know that he was carrying a stowaway, was a little surprised. It seemed despite his size, Luo still carried a powerful punch.

With his hand on his waist, he pointed at Luo while saying, "If you could beat him up in the first place, then why didn’t you say it? Ugh, I almost prostituted myself to save my ass. Tsk, you got to be kidding me."

Qie Xieling was upset. This Luo was in no way similar to his Mu Mu. Luo Muchen would never let him be at a disadvantage. Everything about this game made his heartache. He just wanted to get out of there and go home.

"Can you at least remove this? I really can’t protect myself with no magic," he said, and King Luo wanted to say something, but recalling how he was pretending not to have a voice just to avoid speaking, he kept his mouth shut.

There was no way in his right mind he was letting Eling get his magic back. He wasn’t going to risk Eling running away.
