Chapter 473: Duke

Li Qiang did not want to die.

But the moment he heard Jiang Yue's condition, he already decided to that his life could not last that long. It was not because Wang Ruo still chose his brother, or because he would die alone, anyway. It was because for some reason, he truly blamed himself for what happened to Jiang Yue. She was still his neice. 

He had caused her too much pain and suffering. And it was his time to pay for that. Scratch that.

To be honest, Li Qiang still did not care about Jiang Yue. He only cared about Wang Ruo. And seeing Wang Ruo devastated because of her daughter broke his heart. How could he let the woman he loved all his life suffer such loss?

The last thing Li Qiang remembered before losing his consciousness was Wang Ruo's smile. Despite the tears in her eyes, Wang Ruo still looked beautiful. She was and still is… the most beautiful woman in Li Qiang's eyes.

However… the darkness that surrounded Li Qiang did not last long. He frowned. Pain? How could he feel pain? He was dead. Then relentless sobbing reached his ears. It was followed by the smell of flowers. Was it roses? He hated roses.

He furrowed his brows. Did the sedation fail? Was he hearing Wang Ruo's sobs?

"Husband… Husband… please wake up." The sobbing continued. Husband? Was it Wang Ruo? The thought immediately made him frown. Why would Wang Ruo call him husband? Was this a dream?

The throbbing pain in his left rib started. It was light, then it intensified. Li Qiang couldn't help but wonder if he was awake as they took his heart. Was that even possible?

"Husband… please don't leave me." Another plead. Li Qiang turned around. Darkness. He was still in the same place. Who was calling him husband? Then slowly, Li Qiang felt a nudged in his hands- No, it was as if someone was stroking his hands.

What is happening? Li Qiang's scowl became uglier. The sobbing and pleading continued.

"Madam! Look… the Duke's hands is moving!"

"W — What?"

"I will go call the doctor!"

"The Duke is awake! He is awake!"

"Hush! Do not disturb the Duke and the Madam."

The conversation only made Li Qiang more confuse. Slowly, he opened his eyes and squinted at the light that assaulted his sight.

"Husband! Husband! You are awake!"

"Doctor!!! Where is the doctor!"

Then chaos started. People running around, panicking, doctors checking him, sobbing, more sobbing and tears. Li Qiang only watched as everyone sigh in relief.

The Duke is safe!

That was the only thing that registered in his mind. The Duke? Is him? Though confuse, Li Qiang chose not to asked questions and waited for everyone to finish. The doctor immediately said it was a miracle. That the Duke was only left with some small bruises and a few days would be enough for him to heal.

"Husband! I am pleased that you are safe." Li Qiang eyed the woman sitting next to him. She had been crying since he woke up. "The Gods must have blessed us!" The woman's face was pale, her hair was in a messy up do and a gentle smile was plastered on her beautiful face.

"May I have some time alone?" Li Qiang uttered. His words surprised the woman. Her gentle smile was immediately replaced by disappointment. Yet, she still nodded and gestured the line of servants to leave with her.

At her departure, Li Qiang immediately let out a sigh of relief. He eyed the four-poster bed, and the white paint of the room that he was in. This was not his room. He was a hundred percent sure that this was not a place that he knew.

He squinted at the fireplace a few feet away from his bed. On top of the fireplace was a painting of some Chinese characters. It was an unfamiliar poem.

Then an unforgiving pain throbbed in his head. He close his eyes as his hand supported his head. Flickers of memories like photographs flooded his brain. Hundreds of memories… of him smiling, of him fighting.

What was happening?

Li Qiang opened his mouth into a silent scream. This pain was something that he had never experienced before. Not even after he was crippled! However, it did not last long. The pain started to disappear… gradually… then it vanished. Leaving no trace of the previous agony that he felt.

Li Qiang straightened his body. He did not even notice the sweat on his forehead. He shook his head and…

Blood? Li Qiang widened his eyes at the scarlet liquid that was apparently flowing from his nose. Slowly he made his way to the bathroom. The memories planted inside his head was enough to make him familiar with everything.

He eyed himself at the mirror, his reflection gazing back at him. He was tall… taller than his previous body. But his face, his light brown orbs, his dark hair- were the same.

A sighed escaped him. The memories in his head was not his. He was smart enough to know that. They hummed… waiting for him to recall them. He shook his head and went out of the bathroom. Then he lay in his bed. A frown written on his face.

He had transmigrated in another world, in a body that was not his. They have the same features and name… Li Qiang wondered if this could be the alternate dimension that people on Earth spoke of.

Was that even possible? He wanted to laugh at his thoughts. Yet… here he was. A living proof that his soul was not the original occupant of this body. Li Qiang decided to sort the memories in his head.

He closed his eyes. He was a Duke in a kingdom called Yu- A known kingdom in the west of the Continent Sirluu. His name was still Li Qiang… and well- he is useless. This Li Qiang is a bad fighter, a dumb merchant and someone who love women! The memories of this Li Qiang romancing hundreds of women immediately made him want to puke.

This man was the opposite of his previous life!

He opened his eyes as his face morphed into an ugly frown. How could this man touch all those women? When they are not even that beautiful nor smart or talented?

The thought of this body touching other woman made him more and more irritated. Li Qiang gritted his teeth. How could he transmigrate into a body like this?

He rose from his bed. Determination flashing in his eyes. He needed to cleanse this body. And he will start with… making all of his mistresses leave his estate!
