Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 3268: Spear Ban Viewed That as a Disgrace

Ning Shu drank her meat broth and looked at Spear Ban, who had an impatient expression that seemed to contain some sort of disgust as well.

She felt that Mei Ziqing’s weapons knew Mei Ziqing’s entrustor liked Spear Ban.

Apparently, Spear Ban viewed that as a disgrace.

Mei Ziqing said calmly, “Naturally, I have my reasons. You are my weapons. Wherever I go, you should go. Do you have a problem with that?”

Spear Ban’s expression froze. He turned and left, his expression dark, walking toward the other four weapons.

Ning Shu held her bowl and said to Mei Ziqing, “Now I get what’s up with your entrustor’s weapons.”

“They’ve been spoiled. They have no need to worry about food or clothing; they only ever need to deliver the final blow in a hunt, and on top of that, get paid really well. They enjoy this kind of lifestyle yet still want dignity and freedom.”

“But once they actually have to fight to earn their pride as weapons, they start plaining—so pretentious.”

They decided on the life of a kept man but still demanded a real man’s dignity.

Mei Ziqing gave an “oh” and didn’t say anything.

Ning Shu drank her soup and glanced at Mei Ziqing’s wrist. The red mark was now more pronounced, looking like a red string bracelet.

It looked somewhat familiar.

Ning Shu’s eyes whirled, and she asked, “That’s a love’s thread, right?”

Ning Shu pointed at Mei Ziqing’s wrist.

Mei Ziqing covered her wrist with her sleeve and nodded. “It is.”

Love’s thread was an item that could make two people fall in love. If they were in the same plane, the thread would give off guidance—and the closer they were to each other, the warmer it would get.

Some task-taker couples, to express their devotion, would wear the thread after falling in love.

Only when one person dies and a thread breaks does the item lose its effect.

It serves as both a love token—one red string per person, beautiful and romantic—and a locator, allowing the ability to locate other person if they’re on the same plane.

Wearing it was basically a promise, like being handcuffed together. As long as they lived, they would be there for each other through thick and thin.

Back then, Zhang Jiashen had tried to trick her into wearing one.

Seems like in this world, Mei Ziqing and she weren’t the only ones here. There was another task-taker with a strong connection to Mei Ziqing.

Possibly a lover.

Ning Shu said, “We’re panions now. You have to tell me what might happen next—otherwise I’m leaving.”

Ning Shu stood up. Mei Ziqing reached out and grabbed her wrist, and Ning Shu sat back down with the motion.

“As you’ve noticed, there’s another task-taker in this world. He’s my lover—or more accurately, my ex-boyfriend,” Mei Ziqing said.

Ning Shu: →_→

She’d never heard that Mei Ziqing had a boyfriend. She didn’t look like someone who was heartbroken either.

The sudden reveal that there had been a boyfriend caught Ning Shu off guard.

She quickly asked, “Did he cheat? Want me to back you up and give him a lesson?”

Mei Ziqing sighed. “I’d rather he cheated than see him like this.”

Ning Shu fell silent and waited for Mei Ziqing to continue.

“You’re not going to ask what happened to him?”

“Oh. What happened to him?”

Mei Ziqing touched her wrist. “He’s gone crazy. I don’t even know when he became like that. He’s now pletely insane.”

“What did he do?” Ning Shu asked.

“He wants to change the heavens—to merge with the Heavenly Dao,” Mei Ziqing said.

Ning Shu: ???

That sounded pretty impressive.
