QUICK TRANSMIGRATION CANNON FODDER’S RECORD OF COUNTERATTACKS

Chapter 2990: Sometimes She Also Felt Weak

Ning Shu smacked her forehead. Such a headache!

Fighting the little orb head-on was simply a futile endeavor.

Even under the broiling of the fiery yang power, the orb hadn’t budged an inch.

Ning Shu felt helpless—a deep, crushing helplessness.

It wasn’t the difficulty of the task that was discouraging; it was the sense of complete futility. Even though it seemed pointless, she had no choice but to keep at it, as she couldn’t find any other solution.

The pain emanating from her soul made her kind of want to cry.

Sigh, how fragile she had become.

She had always thought of herself as a strong baby, but sometimes she also felt weak.

Lying on her bed, Ning Shu silently recited the heart-clearing chant, staring at the ceiling.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Shu decided to head to the library tomorrow to search for answers.

The master-servant contract left her far too constrained. If it were an equal contract, the entrustor would likely choose to break it, even at the cost of backlash.

Ning Shu despised this feeling of being shackled, of being someone’s property and subject to their demands.

She was a free person. She didn’t impose on others, but no one should think they could control her either.

And yet, she was being forced into this.

Freedom was truly precious—the freedom of the body, the freedom of the mind.

Ning Shu hadn’t fully realized this before, but now she felt just how blessed she had been.

No matter the circumstances, she had always been free and whole.

Comparison gave perspective. In contrast to this, Ning Shu felt that even when she was scavenging for trash on Planet Sehlde, she had still been happier.

All this hardship had shown Ning Shu what she truly wanted: freedom.

To live freely and independently, unrestrained by anyone or anything.

Ning Shu lay on the bed, lost in these bittersweet thoughts when she heard a noise on the roof.

She blinked. Who would be sneaking around at this hour? Was someone here to assassinate her?

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the next room. Yu Liuli’s sharp voice rang out, “Who are you?”

Ning Shu got out of bed and peered through the window into Yu Liuli’s room. She saw Yu Liuli fighting with several men in black.

These men were no pushovers, and Yu Liuli seemed to be struggling to hold her ground against them.

“Kong Lin, are you dead?” Yu Liuli shouted at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu could only break through the window and prepare to rescue the beauty, Yu Liuli.

The black-clad assassins, upon seeing Ning Shu, immediately said, “Retreat…”

“Stop one of them for me. I want to see who dares to assassinate me,” Yu Liuli ordered Ning Shu coldly as the assassins tried to flee.

Those assassins ran even faster, disappearing from the courtyard in a flash.

Ning Shu shrugged. “They ran too fast.”

“Why didn’t you chase them? Kong Lin, I can see right through you. Don’t forget, our lives are tied together,” Yu Liuli said icily.

Ning Shu sat down and said, “They’re death soldiers. Even if we catch one, they’d probably bite their tongue to commit suicide.”

“Besides, the fact that they ran when they saw me shows they know who I am. Think carefully, have you offended anyone lately?”

Yu Liuli frowned, deep in thought. “Was it the Fifth Prince who sent them? Is it because I beat him up so badly during the competition?”

“Or was it Yu Linglong who sent them?”

“Or could it be Grandfather wants to kill me?”

Ning Shu: …

Why offend so many people?

And on top of that, all the people Yu Liuli mentioned were indeed plausible suspects.
