I Bind with NP System After Being Abandoned by the 1V1 System - Chapter 34
“What are you doing?”
Her face turned pale as her wrist throbbed in pain from his tight grip. Before she could fully process what was happening, Shen Yi repeated his question.
“What did you just say you were going to do?”
“I… uh… well… um…”
She struggled to free her arm while desperately trying to recall what she had said. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to answer; she just couldn’t remember what she had just said, and couldn’t understand which sentence of hers was worth his nervousness.
“Do you think dying will just make everything go away? Jiang Zhi, do you even understand how to take care of yourself?”
Realization dawned on her. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
It seemed he had overheard her saying that dying would solve everything, and he misunderstood it as a threat of suicide.
While she was feeling headache incoming on hwo to explain it, the system in her mind also started acting up.
System: “I understand Miss Jiang Zhi’s intention. Please confirm if you wish to cancel the system pairing. If confirmed, I will depart, and the termination process will enter an irreversible stage.”
“What do you mean by ‘irreversible’?” she asked, her attention now fully diverted.
System: “According to the rules, a termination initiated by the host will result in the host’s own demise.”
It wasn’t just a lip service, now that she knew she could actually die, her attitude shifted. It wasn’t so easy to be so indifferent.
Seeing her silent, Shen Yi grew even angrier and began dragging her back.
Still tangled up in her thoughts, she was having a hard time focusing on more than one thing. She quickly tried to calm the system down. “Hold on, let me deal with this first. I’ll get back to you. Don’t leave just yet!”
Finally, the pain in her arm eased as Shen Yi roughly threw her to the floor of the toryure room. Unable to keep her balance, she fell forward onto the ground.
Before she could catch her breath, her hands were forcibly pulled behind her and bound. The click of the handcuffs signaled her complete loss of freedom.
“Shen Yi, let’s talk this out. That was a misunderstanding, don’t get so worked up!”
As she watched him turn to grab something else, the sight of his muscles straining against his black shirt only made him look imposing and more intimidating..
What she got as a reply was not words, but darkness.
A black blindfold was fastened around her eyes. She shook her head, trying to dislodge it, but it wouldn’t come off. What scared her more was the sudden silence that followed as her world plunged into darkness.
Unable to tell where Shen Yi was, she was forced to calm down, her voice trembling as she tried to probe him. “Shen Yi… Master… I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. Please, don’t be like this. I’m scared. I won’t die, okay? Just untie me.”
The silence persisted until something feather-like brushed against her neck. The soft, ticklish sensation scared her so much that she almost screamed.
“Lie down,” Shen Yi ordered.
He rolled up his sleeves halfway, holding a stiff whip. The black whip was tipped with two red feathers, designed to inflict pain and tickle at the same time—a perfect torment for someone blindfolded and bound like her. The inability to scratch an itch was the ultimate torture.
“Master…”
Hearing his command, Jiang Zhi instinctively slipped back into her submissive role, adjusting her posture to obey him.
But with her arms tied behind her back, lying down was nearly impossible. After struggling for a while, she finally leaned against the wall for support, her entire weight pressing down on her knees as she knelt on the carpet, her hips raised as she tried to lower her body.
She couldn’t see anything with the blindfold on, but Shen Yi could see everything. Under the dim red light, he could take in every small, unconscious movement she made—each one only fueling his desires further.
