The Quiet Empress - 1. Feng Ning

The night was gloomy.

In the dimly lit room, a young woman sat before a table. Her1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpcNLjI2lf
exquisite face could be seen from the light on her desk lamp. Her dark obsidian1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloLbhpvNJI
eyes were staring straight at the laptop before her, which was filled with a1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnUniQnazH
lot of words.

There was no emotion within her expression.

Ring! Ring!

The young woman passed a look at her phone, which rang with1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡforEyGuqa4
unwelcomed melody. Her slender hand took the phone and swipe it up to answer1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vqFJSnqGr
the call.

“What is it?” the young woman asked in a low and unfriendly1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XTZPsY4Z
tone.

“Feng Ning, Cousin Feng Xian will be holding his wedding in1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYjqGMYLrT
a few days. Will you come?” a man’s voice could be heard from the phone.

The young woman’s expression didn’t change. “Oh, I’ll see if1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2AHkEJ2TK
I have time.”

“If you have time? You’re just an unemployed young woman!1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB59wdLB5nw
What else are you doing if not wasting…” a woman’s voice could be heard from1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgi6tB6Cnb
the other side of the phone, barking violently.

“Shut up! Feng Ning, just ignore her. Take care of your1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBHmhCM66U
health, okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Feng Ning hang up and focused her attention back to the1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQxJsQAkkE
laptop before her.

She didn’t have any interest in the outside world anymore.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfpLuaMH5L
Thanks to the recent years of massive lockdown due to the spread of virus,1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyFIvqMgiu
there were various online job that could be found. Finding one, Feng Ning1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD7kMInl0n
buried herself in her work and cut off her relationship with the outside world.

In this small room, she felt save.

Tapping her slender fingers on the keyboard, Feng Ning1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hIhvfGa2e
focused her attention on the words on the screen. Her jade black eyes reflected1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7t36RPXYO
the light from the screen.

It was quiet.

Only the sound of typing could be heard.

After some time, Feng Ning stood up and looked at the1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NUg75srAU
refrigerator at the side of the room. This room was very small, which meant1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0m08lTJs7
that all of the equipment was placed in one room aside from the bed.

“I don’t have any other food.”

Looking at the empty refrigerator, Feng Ning’s eyes1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteWL4wBFV5
flickered slightly.

If only time could rewind, she would have treasured her1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9hPERIzCg
parents and sibling even more. But there was no if. Staying alone in this1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4wOJSNqv7
world, Feng Ning felt like a broken kite that flew with the wind with no1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BudV5MDa0
direction of her destination.

‘I’ll go out to find something to eat.’

Walking out of her small room, Feng Ning headed to the lift.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQTN4dq0QC
Her eyes glanced to the window, looking at the sight of the enormous building1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JIwPAB8Mv
that filled the entire area. Added with the brilliant light flashing here and1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnbNjO2XZC
there, it was very beautiful.

But at the same time, it served as a reminder.

She no longer belonged to that world.

Ding!

The lift arrived and Feng Ning entered. She pressed the1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN1TuyCA2P
button number one and waited inside. There were several other people in the1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3sRi1QGM0
same lift as her. Disliking other people’s gaze, Feng Ning lowered her eyes1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUHuMTBra8
after looking at them for a moment.

No one was talking.

*Snap*

Suddenly, they could faintly hear the sound of something1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkboWKOF80
snapping and that the lift was swaying before it stopped. The atmosphere grew1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CzR9tgh4F
tenser and they all looked up in worry as the second snapping sound could be1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg94oGzmb3m
heard.

Feng Ning’s jet black eyes reflected none of her inner1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW05zd11RkH
emotion. Probably, she no longer have that so called emotion from the moment1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeqBETEgjR
she lost everything in this world.

‘So, it’s my time.’

Closing her eyes, Feng Ning ignored the terrified scream of1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyURqK9PQj
other people in the lift as they frantically pressed the bell. She crouched on1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAexEZ4sUcP
the corner and sat down with her hand covering her head.

She knew that it would be useless no matter what she did1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYapzrKB0vl
because the height to the bottom floor was so high. Having learnt physics, she1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjUaoA29SO
also knew that trying to jump at the very last moment was also stupid. It1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1McKuN0zIX
wouldn’t change anything because within this confined room, the speed at which1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTD2wmCdGZ
they were traveling would be the same as the lift itself.

Thus, jumping to reduce the impact was nonsense.

*Snap*

The third one had snapped and the screams and worry became1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1E77HenXW
even more frantic. No one wanted to die but in this run down building, how1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvri2AjCk9H
could they expect technician to appear within minutes and solve the problem for1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbEC7dvtph
them?

Thus, Feng Ning gave up.

Memories flashed by her eyes as she heard the last snap and1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAOOcANUqf
the lift fell down in accordance to gravity.

‘Mom, Dad, Sis, I’ll accompany you now.’ A bitter smile1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHqm1kU53V
formed on the corner of Feng Ning’s lips.

She missed her family terribly but still strived to live1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRJXfDG0qY
because of her father’s words. He wanted her to continue living. But she1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppq9PyKpHz
couldn’t forget the past and everything. So when encountering this situation,1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmnFjGHagd
Feng Ning didn’t have the will to think of doing anything.

She closed her eyes as everything turned black due to the1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMFPqeb7V9
impact.

It was quiet then.

‘So, will I enter the hell now?’

Feng Ning never thought of herself as a good person. She was1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvDLaTBJP
selfish and often didn’t care for other people around her as long as it didn’t1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdQeZC1WBU
affect her. At the same time, she knew how naïve she was when she kept on1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c5ZHktPRY
getting duped by people.

Scammers from phone, bullied by others in class, nearly1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMoZn5M8XK
getting herself killed from trusting a friend she met on the street, and so on.

Her luck was really bad.

Or was it because she was stupid?

Feng Ning didn’t know. She looked around her and noticed1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5s7iPS0Ta
that she was now outside the building, floating. The sound of screams filled1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH2EC9WRX1
the area. Then there was fire and the people around couldn’t even get close.

In this remote and lower priced area, how many security was1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJcOBsyvE
actually deployed by them?

She relaxed and soon, her vision turned blurry.

Now, would she finally leave this world?

Bang!

Feeling sudden tremor, Feng Ning was stunned. She thought1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidmj3IccA6
that it would be a peaceful departure, but why did it didn’t feel that way?1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0UrzsSGGG
Amidst her confusion, she felt that her body was enveloped in some kind of1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgTps2cvsS
liquid.

Liquid?

Does Hell or Heaven was this nice?

While Feng Ning was utterly confused, she felt something pushed1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6sAGmpjCq
her out before bright light scorched her eyes. She was shocked and opened her1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV65NikiUl8
mouth subconsciously as her body inhaled the air.
