Chapter 193: Zero

Lyca snuggled in his warmth as she alternated in between consciousness and sleepiness. She opened her eyes waiting for her vision to clear before she slowly sat down on the sleeping bag. She looked at Shen Qui's naked chest, dragging her eyes down to his crotch which was covered by a thick blanket— very unfortunate for her eyes. 

She then watched the time. It was three in the morning, and it was time to hunt some people. 

Lyca was not originally planning to do it tonight, but her husband was here, alright. She would want to impress him … just a bit. Not overly impress him and make it look like she was making an effort. 

This should look as effortless as her beauty. She giggled inwardly before she grabbed her daggers next to her. Shen Qui insisted that she sleep with her clothes on because of the cold. After all, they were still surrounded by trees. Slowly, Lyca made her way out of the tent and silently examined her surroundings.

The sound of crickets, accompanied by the soft and cold breeze of November somehow made her more relaxed. Lyca thought that living in her family's mansion was good, but now… she realized that having a house near this place was better! Far away from the city, far away from people. Ah… she would love to live in a place like this. 

She silently walked towards the tent of the trainee's, making sure that every step that she made would not make any sounds. She looked at Cleo and Rue's tent. Before turning her gaze towards Ma Ping's tent. With her hand tight around the hilt of her knife, Lyca started doing her mission for tonight.

The mission was simple.

Cut their necks without really waking them up. 

While that sounded difficult, every one of these people just spent the whole day climbing a mountain. They were tired enough not to notice Lyca approached them. Just as she expected, she easily created a small cut on Ma Ping's neck. She couldn't wait to see this man's reaction tomorrow. 

Lyca giggled inwardly before proceeding to the other trainees. She was about to create a small cut on another one's neck when she felt someone held her arm.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qui whispered. She could feel his body behind her. For a few seconds, Lyca froze.

"I told you!" She hissed. "No surprises!" She said and let him dragged her away from the person lying on the ground with his sleeping bag. "Where are you taking me?"

"Why are you running around slitting people's throats?" He asked, ignoring her question. Shen Qui started walking towards the forest, his boot creating sounds against the branches of the trees that littered the ground. 

"You are too noisy!" She uttered. "I was trying to impress you by showing you everyone's wounds tomorrow!" Grumbling, Lyca just let him dragged her around.

"That's not my point."

"Hmph?"

"I hate it when you enter another man's tent."

She stopped walking and tilted her head towards him. "Whose tent?"

"A man's tent!"

For a few seconds, she turned silent, wondering what was he up to. Then she widened her eyes, realization hitting her. "You are jealous?"

"HAHA…" he said sarcasm coated his voice. "So smart."

It was Lyca's turned to laugh at him. This time, she was certain that they were already far from the camp, so she didn't hold back her laughter. "You were jealous of Ma Ping?"
