Infinity, The Arcade Age

Sun Ji didn't understand why she felt so different about this young soldier she had only known for a few days. For some reason, she just found him pleasing to the eye and liked being around him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept promoting him or even forced him to massage her legs, despite knowing he was unwilling.

She only liked to tease people she completely trusted—it was her way of interacting with those close to her.

Cold as ice to strangers, an absolute fool with friends—that described her perfectly.

But this level of teasing was her limit. Sun Ji was, after all, a noble lady. Even though she wasn't refined, she still upheld the virtues of a proper woman. She knew exactly what could be done and what could not.

Once they reached shore and she met with her second brother, she planned to recommend this strong and capable soldier to him. That would be the end of their entanglement, and they would never see each other again. He would stay in Wu, and she would return to Shu. They would go their separate ways, never crossing paths again. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about making a mistake when faced with this man she inexplicably liked too much.

That had been her plan.

But now, everything had changed.

She had tried everything, done her best to prove herself, yet in her husband's and Shu's eyes, she was forever an outsider. She had completely lost hope.

She also felt deep hatred toward her second brother, who had tricked her into making mistakes and never once cared about her predicament.

Both Shu and Wu had ruined her life, yet now they both despised her.

She had been left alone in an empty room, suffering a lifetime of loneliness, yet they placed all the blame on her, as if she were the villain and they were the victims.

She had once tried to be a good wife, struggled to maintain the alliance between Shu and Wu, afraid that even the slightest mistake might lead to disaster.

But now, she no longer cared.

Let them fight. Let them scheme. Let them all die.

Her second brother, Sun Quan. Her husband, Liu Bei. And all those foolish warriors who only knew how to fight. They could play their political games—she was done.

She would live her life her way. She would take back everything they had stolen from her. Nothing else mattered anymore.

Now, free from the chains that had bound her for years, Sun Ji reverted to the wild, arrogant, and reckless young lady she had once been.

And the first thing she did was take revenge on Qin Ming, the man who had tried to use her as a tool for his own benefit.

And then, after she was done threatening him… she slept with him.

Yes, Sun Ji slept with Qin Ming.

The completely unrestrained Sun Ji had practically dragged Qin Ming into her room. And when he resisted, she threatened him. If he dared disobey, she would scream for the guards outside, claim he had tried to violate her, and have him executed on the spot.

As she indulged herself, Sun Ji even insisted that Qin Ming bite her—because she hadn't forgotten that he could grow bigger.

But when that bite triggered something unexpected, and she realized her own body couldn't handle the size difference, she simply called in her personal guards.

Her most trusted bodyguard, Ling, along with a few of her other close attendants, were all brought into the mix.

The same way she had once tormented Liu Bei, she was now tormenting Qin Ming.

And her methods had only grown even more intense...

Two days had passed in the blink of an eye.

At midday, inside the private chamber, Sun Ji lay nestled in Qin Ming's arms, eyes half-closed, savoring the lingering pleasure of indulgence. Nearby, one of her personal maids—one of her childhood friends and female bodyguards—was still riding.

At that moment, the door suddenly swung open.

Her bodyguard, Ling, strode in from outside. She pulled off her helmet and tossed it aside. As she walked toward the bed, she began unbuttoning her clothing, clearly intending to join in.

But before she could reach the bedside, Sun Ji suddenly stretched out a leg and blocked her path.

"Oi, what's the rush? He's not going anywhere. What's got you so eager? Give me an update first."

Ling, who was in the middle of unbuttoning her undershirt, rolled her eyes at Sun Ji and shot her an annoyed look.

"I stood guard for you during all those years of celibacy, and now you're lying here every day enjoying yourself. Of course, you're not in a hurry. But I still have to take turns with the others! If I don't switch shifts, they'll tear me apart!"

"Alright, alright, alright! I get it, life has been hard for you. I apologize, okay? Now, tell me—how did things go?"

"Don't worry, everything's set. While you had Zhou Dun sent off to patrol the other ships, I gave the order to change course. We're heading toward Shu now. We'll be breaking away from the fleet very soon."

As she spoke, Ling pushed aside Sun Ji's smooth, jade-like legs and climbed onto the bed without hesitation.

Hearing her report, Sun Ji nodded in satisfaction and turned to rest her face against Qin Ming's cheek.

"You heard that, didn't you? The ship has already changed course. Zhou Dun and his men are no longer onboard. We're about to return to Shu. I'm not bringing A'dou back for anyone else, and I'm certainly not doing it for myself—I'm doing it for you. So, don't you have anything to say?"

Qin Ming, lying in the middle, slowly turned his head to look at her. His expression was visibly exhausted.

Now I get it. No wonder Emperor Liu was completely drained after just a few months.

Just this kind of high-intensity combat? Months? Managing to last months would be proof of an outstanding physique!

It had only been two days, and Qin Ming was already feeling like he was at his limit.

Even his physical attributes had been affected—he had gained a temporary debuff!

Effect: -1 Constitution (Temporary).

Good heavens! Two days and I've already lost one stat point? If this went on for months, I'd probably die in bed!

Looking at Sun Ji, who was smiling mischievously at him, Qin Ming took a deep breath and immediately responded...

He sank his teeth into her shoulder, activating his Essence Drain Skill.

The sudden attack made Sun Ji yelp in pain. When she finally realized what had happened and saw Qin Ming's body growing in size once more, her expression darkened. She scowled, shoved Ling—who had been clinging to Qin Ming—aside, and straddled him angrily.

"All you do is bite me! There are so many people here, and yet you only bite me! You like biting people, huh? Fine! Let's see how long you can keep biting! You—!"

Just as Sun Ji raised her hands and gathered her long hair, preparing to show Qin Ming the true strength of the Sun family's legendary arched waist, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the main doors.

Along with the crash came the sound of a heated argument.

"What do you think you're doing? How dare you!"

"I must see the young lady!"

"Stop right there! You cannot approach without permission! Are you trying to barge into the young lady's chamber?!"

"Move aside! I must see her!"

As the shouting escalated outside, the tightly shut doors were suddenly kicked open.

One of the female guards stationed at the entrance was sent flying backward through the broken doorway.

As heavy footsteps followed, a soaking wet figure stepped into the room.

It was none other than—Zhou Dun!
