175: This obsession

Even after taking out the insect base, things did not slow down for the trio. They had to dispose of the rest of the insects on their way out and then smoke out the rest of the monsters.

It was a time-consuming but mindless process that could be easily taken care of. But it also served to remind Aurora of how things had been in past.

While the circumstances of her cooperation with Quince and Clove were not ideal, they were similar to her past life.

"Wow, things are so much easier when you have an extra hand around. It makes me want to keep you around longer."

Aurora felt her neck turn at a breaking speed at hearing those words come out of Quince. At the same time, a shiver passed down Aurora's back and her instincts told her to run as far as she could.

Aurora had rarely gotten compliments from Quince in her last life. The man was busier on finding Aurora's flaws than complimenting on a deed well done.
