4 Kingdom of Dragon (1/2)

”What the heck are you doing to me?!”

Shi Mei struggled as she tried to untie the rope around her wrists but what more she couldn't tolerate was the two men guarding her side as if she was a criminal.

”Keep your mouth shut.”Chen Wei ordered while Gong Yan looked at the hillside, it's already dawn so there were servants who were doing household chores in their own master's residence.

”If you want me to keep my mouth shut then release me now!”Xue Huan stopped and he turned to Shi Mei. He walked towards Shi Mei as he took out the fabric.

”Stupid, what are you trying-”Shi Mei chewed her remaining words as Xue Huan covered her mouth.

”Xue Huan, do you have to go this far?”Wen Zexi said as he looked at Shi Mei with sympathetic eyes. But Xue Huan ignored it. Shi Mei glared at Xue Huan and she quickly kicked his right leg.

Chen Wei and Wen Zexi were shocked while Gong Yan tried to hide his reaction with his poker face. Xue Huan's eyes flared but Shi Mei arched her brows only.

”This is gonna be fun.”Chen Wei chuckled but he immediately pressed his lips as Xue Huan glanced at him with his death glare.

The sun was already casting its light when Shi Mei and the four men arrived in the residence.

”Your Highness, we didn't expect you to return early. I thought you will be away for three days.” the middle-aged man remarked as soon as his lord entered the residence, he was a loyal servant in the palace but the King ordered him to take care of the prince. He witnessed it when the King decided to punish the prince because of the incident that happened six years ago. The punishment was to be exiled in the Mountain of Bu Tebie and he followed the prince together with few attendants also of the prince.

”Xue Huan, where will be my room?”Chen Wei asked proudly. But the servant and the other attendants of Xue Huan looked at Chen Wei.

”Did I say something wrong?”

”My Lord, please excuse me but the person you are calling is a prince in the Kingdom of the dragon.” the servant reminded Chen Wei for he thought it was rude to call the prince with his name. As soon as Shi Mei heard it, she was totally in awe and to the point that it could make her crazy.

[ Dragon? Wait, Is the servant referring to the clans in the fantasy drama that I watched? No way, come on, I'm still alive.]

”Oh man, don't worry. Xue Huan doesn't want us to call him with his title especially me because we are more like sworn brothers.”Chen Wei tapped the shoulder of Xue Huan but Wen Zexi pulled him once again.

”I'm sorry for the rudeness of our friend.”Wen Zexi apologized as he smiled at the servant and the attendants.

”Hui Zhong, let them be. They are my friends.”Xue Huan said but with his stern look. He already reminded the servant and the attendants multiple times to not call him with his title but they were not unstoppable as he thought.

The servant let out a deep sigh but he could not hide how bothered he was towards the woman at the back. Even the attendants were secretly glancing at the woman.

The four men glanced at each other. After a few seconds, Wen Zexi and Chen Wei immediately rushed to the woman and tried to untie the rope around her arms. But after several tries, they couldn't untie it.

Gong Yan took out his sword as the servant and the attendants were totally in horror.

”I...I...I...will not...I.”Gong Yan stammered as he approached the attendants and the servant to explain but they stepped back. He was strong and commendable in terms of sword skills but he was quite shy in front of other people especially strangers. He moved forward but the attendants and the servant stepped backward again, they did it for a minute that made Shi Mei's blood boiled vigorously. She motioned the two men beside her to uncover her mouth which Wen Zexi quickly did it.

Shi Mei looked at Xue Huan which she concluded that he was the boss, the leader, or whatsoever among the people around her.

”I'll count for five seconds and if my arms are still tied in this useless rope. I'll burn you into ashes.”Shi Mei said with her very calm voice.

No one knew, but everyone shivered by Shi Mei's aura. She asked nicely yet for the people around her, it was a forewarning. For the first time in six years, Xue Huan was flustered and avoided the eyes of Shi Mei. While Gong Yan rushed to Shi Mei and sliced the rope.

Shi Mei stretched her arm while looking at the four men, one by one.
