Fear!

Gu Xia who heard Shu Ling's whisper nodded his head and spoke out loud.

"Alright you have yourself a deal... Bring me to your room so I know you aren't deceiving me."

Shu Ling shyly nodded her head with a slight blush on her face as she walked out of the dining room.

Gu Xia who was about to follow Shu Ling suddenly turned around and looked at his mother who had an expressionless face, her eyes sharpened showing a hint of fury.

Before returning back to following Shu Ling, Gu Xia gave his mother a thumbs up and a wink.

Gu Lin tilted her head in confusion.

'Does he have his own plan?'

Once Gu Xia fully left the dining room, everyone present at the table were beyond dumbfounded.

Shu Han who wanted to speak out and demand what his daughter said to Gu Xia was silenced by his wife who held his thigh and gave him a look saying.

"Let our daughter handle this."

Sadly, he could only keep his mouth shut as he prayed to the heavens his daughter doesn't do anything that would cause damage to their Shu family.

Both Shu Ling and Gu Xia made their way up a spiral staircase and eventually arrived in front of a bedroom.

Shu Ling opened the door leading into her bedroom and gestured for Gu Xia to come in.

With a nod Gu Xia entered the bedroom which was surprisingly filled with girly stuff.

The wall paper was pink. teddy bears were everywhere, there was a queen-size bed with purple sheets and with cute penguin pillows.

"Wow, color me surprised... I never expected you to have such a girly room."

Gu Xia really was in disbelief as he believed this cold iceberg woman would have a boring bedroom.

Hearing Gu Xia's words, Shu Ling twirled her fingers together as she looked toward the red carpet.

"I-I am a girl at the end of day, I can't always be a cold iceberg..."

Gu Xia sat comfortably on the queen-size bed as he agreed with Shu Ling's words.

"I agree, you can't always be a stuck up bitch."

Shu Ling slightly stumbled on her feet when she heard this and small veins appeared on her forehead.

'T-This bastard!'

Seeing that the iceberg wasn't saying anything, Gu Xia sighed and waved his hand as he spoke.

"Whatever, just take off your blue one piece dress. After all, you agreed that I can play with your body if I don't cancel the engagement."

Shu Ling felt sick to her stomach as she was reminded of what she said she would do in order to keep the engagement from being canceled.

After a couple minutes of silence she took a deep breath and calmed her emotions and once she was fully calm she began to take off her blue one piece dress.

She was fully prepared to sacrifice her innocence to be able to save herself from her destiny of being the heroine.

As she stripped to her black panties and bra small tears formed in her eyes.

Her curves were beyond amazing as it showed her bubbly ass, D-cups breast, and clean white skin.

No man has ever seen her in this state...

Unexpectedly Gu Xia slowly stood up from the queen-size bed and leisurely walked over to Shu Ling which caught her off guard.

'W-Why is he walking toward me!? I'm not ready! I'm not emotionally ready!'

With a plain expression plastered on his face Gu Xia stopped right in front of Shu Ling, only a inch away from her face, he then whispered in her ear as gently as he could.

"Close your eyes."

Shu Ling, like a scared obedient kitten, closed her eyes and pursed out her lips as her entire body trembled.

She was prepared to be kissed...

She knew her first kiss was about to be taken...

Suddenly...

Shu Ling felt a strange force wrapping around her throat and suddenly she felt like she wasn't touching the floor anymore.

Finding it hard to breathe her eyes snapped open just to be met with Gu Xia lifting her in the air by her throat.

"W-W-What a-are y-you doi-doing!?"

Shu Ling who was hardly able to breathe spit out the words in-between gasps as her face began to turn purple.

"What am I doing?"

Gu Xia looked at her weirdly then continued his words:

"As you can see, I'm going to kill you."

Shu Ling's entire body went pale in fear as she listened to Gu Xia.

'W-Why!? He promised me!'

'I would let him play with my body just for him to not cancel the engagement!'

Gu Xia tightened his grip on Shu Ling's neck causing her vision to start fading.

Shu Ling desperately began kicking her feet wildly and threw her arms around crazily.

Ignoring the force that was hitting him, Gu Xia waited for about a minute.

Soon enough Shu Ling's body began to slow down and the kicking and hitting stopped.

Dropping her body onto the floor, without showing any sympathy Gu Xia looked at the diamond Rolex on his wrist.

He stood there patiently for about 10 minutes....

"Well, she should open her eyes in about a minute or so."

Gu Xia commented to himself.

As he said, Shu Ling's eyes opened after a minute.

She loudly began to gasp for air.

Her entire body shot up from the floor and she began touching her own throat in fear Gu Xia was still choking her.

After a couple seconds she noticed that Gu Xia was calmly standing in place just looking at her with curiosity.

Without wasting any time Shu Ling dashed for the door in pure fear, but suddenly...

[If you leave this room I'll have your entire Shu family slaughtered.]

Shu Ling's ears perked up when she heard Gu Xia's inner voice and she unconsciously stopped moving.

[So, I was right... You're able to hear my inner voice.]

Shu Ling broke out into a cold sweat not knowing if it was a good thing he knew or not.

She turned around slowly.

She was met with Gu Xia's terrifying expression.

Out of nowhere he started laughing...

"Ahahahahahhahahha!!!"

He placed his right hand on his face as he clenched his left hand drawing blood.

[To think that you could hear my inner voice this entire time! No wonder you were acting strange!]

[You want to know about the plot don't you! You wanted to use me! RIGHT!]

[And If I'm correct all you fucking heroines can hear my inner voice!]

[Those higher beings think they can fuck with me!?]

[No wonder they didn't care about my little 'rebellion!']

In pure rage Gu Xia stomped his foot into the floor causing the entire room to shake.

[I'll give all you heroines a chance, either you meet up with me at my private villa in about a week to have a peaceful talk, or I can go to you and 'silence' you if you know what I mean.]

All of the heroines who were able to hear Gu Xia's inner voice were all deathly pale.

The tone of his voice sounded distorted and his voice was beyond cruel.

No matter their background or status all of the heroines felt one thing...

Fear!

They all gulped a huge load of saliva as they tried to stop their bodies from shaking.

At this point they had no choice but to meet up with Gu Xia...
