Quick Transmigration: Counter Attack Of Various Characters - 109 Prying Information

Su Li didn’t bother to pay attention to the person by her side and tried to call the system.

Maybe it would respond to her.

“Ai… Ai… Aa… Aa… Psst… Psst.”

When Su Li didn’t hear any response, she felt deflated because even though she was unhappy about her soul being tied to the system, at least she could always console herself in the first world by thinking that she wasn’t alone and the system would help her if she was really in a fix.

However, the continued silence on the system’s part was vexing for her.

She turned towards the person by her side.

Ning Fu watched as the monarch made a few noises as if trying to gain someone’s attention and then turned to face him.

The current look of the monarch – glassy eyes from the intoxication, cheeks flushed red, a slight frown on the lips and the coquettish manner seemed to be akin to a girl asking to be pampered by her beloved.

Nonetheless, neither was the monarch a female and nor was he the monarch’s beloved.

Before Ning Fu could again start thinking improper thoughts, the monarch held his sleeves in his hands and pulled at his clothes – trying to gain his attention.

He gave a distracted, “Mmm?”

“Hey! How do you try to gain the attention of someone who always ignores you?”

Ning Fu felt perplexed at the question and thought it was just drunk murmuring of the emperor so he didn’t give a response immediately.

When no response was forthcoming, Su Li pulled at the clothes in her hands with all her might and since Ning Fu was already distracted, he fell back on his behind beside the already seated monarch.

At this unexpected outcome, both of them were stunned and looked at each other owlishly.

Just as Ning Fu tried to get up, Su Li hugged his arm like a child and didn’t let go no matter how Ning fu coaxed her.

“Your Majesty, this lowly official needs to stand guard.”

When the other person turned his head away at his words; Ning Fu tried to extract his arm from the vice-like grip.

“Your Majesty, this isn’t appropriate.”

Those words seemed to bring the monarch out of his thoughts.

“Why do you keep addressing like that?”

“Like what, Your Majesty?”

“That – that Yo — Yo”

Su Li couldn’t finish her words and started hiccupping.

Ning Fu felt flustered at that and patted the monarch’s back so as to ease his breathing.

Once Su Li could breathe again, she turned her angry eyes towards the other person.

“You address me as a superior but you didn’t answer any of my questions. Humph! Is that how you should act towards your senior – at least, I am your senior in rank, isn’t it?”

Ning Fu really hadn’t thought that the monarch would be a chatty drunk.

He sighed in exasperation and wondered if he shouldn’t have followed the monarch in his overconfidence because the other person kept on asking nonsensical questions.

Still, since it was the monarch who was questioning him, he couldn’t ignore the other person because if the monarch recalled this night later on and realised that he hadn’t answered his questions, wouldn’t it be his head on the chopping board?

Trying to gather the remains of his fast diminish patience, he answered.

“Your Majesty, you are the monarch of this dynasty and this lowly one is Your Majesty’s subject so it’s imperative that this lowly one addresses Your Majesty as our respective positions command.”

The monarch listened to his words as if he was preaching about some life lessons and Ning Fu couldn’t help but wonder what the other person was thinking.

Su Li was still thinking about her grievances with the system so she didn’t pay Ning Fu’s words and any mind and simply shook her hand as if it was all trivial talk.

“Alright! Alright! I don’t want to hear about positions and whatnot. Answer my other question. How am I supposed to call someone who doesn’t pay any attention to me?”

Ning Fu really wanted to ask the monarch that who would dare to not answer his summons sine everyone feared Imperial Power but kept his acerbic words to himself.

“Maybe Your Majesty can try calling them by name and if that doesn’t work then maybe Your Majesty can try to show them your Imperial might.”

Su Li thought about those words for a few minutes.

When Ning Fu didn’t hear any further inane queries, he turned towards the monarch and saw that the other person had closed their eyes.

Maybe the monarch had finally dozed off and he himself could heave a sigh of relief.

But soon enough he realised that he had been counting his eggs before they had hatched because the emperor opened his eyes abruptly.

He almost jerked back in surprise.

The monarch looked at him in silent contemplation and then softly whispered, “It doesn’t work like that. It doesn’t answer me even when I try to coax it and it isn’t afraid of my power.”

Su Li snorted at the thought that the system could be even afraid of her and shook her head.

Meanwhile, Ning Fu baffled at those words.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of the proud Son of Heaven and who wouldn’t dare to neglect him?

Was the monarch simply rambling in his drunken state?

Or was their really a person like that?

While pondering about it, he recalled the person His Majesty loved and thought that the monarch might be complaining about him.

Ning Fu didn’t know why but he always felt uncomfortable while thinking about that person.

Was the other person a female or a male?

What was their identity?

How did they meet the monarch?

What qualities did they have to attract this person who didn’t seem to care for fame or riches and had a minimalistic style of living?

How was their first meeting?

In the past few months, he had realised that his thoughts would whirl with such questions involuntarily and no matter how hard he tried to tell himself that the monarch’s bedroom and heart matters had nothing to do with him, he couldn’t help but want to know more about the pair.

It was at this time that Ning Fu’s mind started coming up with thoughts that were clearly inappropriate for his station but since this could be the only chance to satiate his curiosity without being subjected to the reasons for his nosiness, he decided to pry into the matter.

With an inquisitive look on his face, he faced the monarch and for the first time in all his life looked at an Imperial Clan member in the eye and hoped that his actions wouldn’t come back to bit him in the behind later on.

“Your Majesty, this lowly official wants to ask a question, may I?”

“You already have.”

At his furrowed brows, Su Li recalled that this was a modern joke and he wouldn’t be able to understand it so she simply waved her hand in lieu of a verbal response.

“Your majesty, can you — will — will you tell me about the person in your heart?”

Ning Fu could feel his heart beating a mile a minute as he said those words and wondered if the monarch could hear the loud thumping as well.
