32 Pillar of the Country 11 (2/2)

When Xi Sheng edged the spear to the man, did they only move and approached Xi Sheng.

The bronze guards who are near to the man was confused and didn't know what to do. The Sol Keepers forward and coaxed her, some even restrained her limbs.

\”Junior Sister Sheng, please calm down!\”

\”Your hand is already injured, see the doctor immediately!\”

\”Junior Sister Sheng...\”

She heard them, but she just refused to heed them.

Unlike when she went insane she was unrestrained, this time being held back several adult males made her weak. However, this time her hand is being held back but it is firm in holding the spear.

\”This bastard just tried to kill a living, he should be prepared to be killed then,\” Xi Sheng commented without any expression.

\”I'm just playing! Hic!\” In the brink of death, the man lost all of his pride and cried miserably.

Xi Sheng gritted her teeth:\”Let me play with you then!\”

\”You fucker! I am the Emperor's royal guard! Touch me, and the Emperor will not spare you!\”

Xi Sheng only sneered.

The hands holding her are getting stronger, but her resolution to beat the crap out of the fallen bastard is also resolute.

She heard a ruckus but she ignores it. Then a hand she was familiar with, hold her.

\”Junior Sister Sheng, calm down a bit okay? Little Eight needs your attention. So, let go of the weapon already. Your hand is also bleeding,\” Xi Lan's worried and scared voiced made her hand tremble.

Then an authoritative voice decreed:\”Everyone dispersed! Report what's the ruckus about.\”

\”Emperor! Please save me! This son of a bitch is--\”

\”Watch your mouth,\” Xi Lan threatened.

\”Hic!\”

Xi Sheng closes her eyes. She softened her hold of the spear but she stepped on the man more viciously.

\”Wah!\”

\”Child, let go of the weapon.\”

Since the Emperor said so, I must obey. With our disparity in strength, he can decree to make my head roll[2]. Omg, this social difference is making me wet my pants. [3]

Xi Sheng throw the spear away and stepped out from the man.

The Sol Keepers put their hands away, nonetheless, Xi Lan's hand remained.

She scooped the injured cub and tremblingly trace its wound.

He said in a stern voice:\”Child, do you know that disrespecting the royal guards mean disrespecting me, the Emperor.\”

Xi Sheng's eyes widen a bit, and everyone thought she became frightened but her next words scared them even more.

Without any change in her expression, she said:\”The Great Son of Heavens, the most important person in the whole continent, Your Royal Majesty. Does His Highness also aware that hiring this kind of subordinate reflected the demeanour of their superior?[4]\”

Xi Sheng respectfully bows and walk away.

Forget it! If things really go south then I'll run to the west! My running skill should be fairly good enough!

When Xi Sheng left the vicinity, the Emperor didn't lash out from being disrespected. He orders the squad leader for their early return. The guards nodded and dispersed.

He faced his old friend and Xi Jie saw the malicious smile on the Emperor's lips.

The Emperor whispered like a big boulder was relieved from his shoulder:\”Good riddance.\”

The Sol Keepers are sure that one of these days, these stinky bronze guards will meet their retribution. But they didn't expect it to be today!

What's more, they watched something chilling!

...

Xi Sheng embraces the wounded cub and went to the infirmary. The doctor was surprised by her visit, but he quickly tended to the cub's needs. After the cub was bandaged and 'safe,' Xi Sheng went to her room.

Xi Sheng 'tearfully' stare at her dearest cub:\”System, its been a while. Did you miss me?\”

The System Eight whose body was of a plump cub who was beaten earlier without his knowledge bared his fangs at Xi Sheng:\”Awoo!\” Scram!

Xi Sheng covered her mouth and look at the System like she saw her long lost playmate.
