In the rear gate of the west courtyard, several men clad in armour were stationed. They consist of about twenty people. Half of them wore golden-streaked armour while the others wore bronze. The insignia of the royal black wolf, signifying supremacy and righteousness, is marvellously modelled in their right chest.
Pei![1] What righteousness? In their eyes, these royal bastards can't even mount to the word 'kind.'
The previous Sol Keepers that were pushed aside by the Emperor's men could only smile coldly.
\"Let's drink! Let's drink!\"
Ever since they guarded the gate, these arrogant men never displayed anything associated with 'royal guards.'
Drinking, bullying, molesting their women, they even tried to hurt the temple's people. What kind of fucking bloody bastard would even consider these things as a decent?
They never dare to voice it out, but his royal highness' dogs are really something full of shit.
The leader of the golden-streaked squad headed to the Sok Keepers and apologize in behalf of the bronze squad.
\"I'm so sorry for watching this kind of irrefutable act unbefitting of a guard of His Royal Highness,\" the squad leader bowed his head. His eyes glared at the bronze squad, displeasure was reflected on his eyes.
The reason why the Sol Keepers never answers their provocations is precisely because of this, they felt pity for the royal guard's squad leader. Being unable to discipline his men must be tough.
The other reason is because of their Elder, he warned them to never lose their cool. And as much as possible, to endure.
\"Hey! Hey! Look at this thing!\"
The bronze guard held a small but black thing. The Sol Keepers' nights restricted. Where did they saw that thing?
\"Awoo!!\"
The black thing screeched in pain when kicked by the guard.
\"Haha! I never knew the royal advisor hide such a toy!\"
The bronze bastards expressed their 'kindness.'
The squad leader anxiously said:\"Please return it, its a property of the temple. We should not---\"
\"Awoo!\"
The black thing squeaks in pain again. The bronze guards didn't listen to him and continue to torment the little thing.
One of the Sol Keepers look at the other one and apprehensively said: \"Hey, isn't that Junior Sister Sheng's cub?\"
Cub? Wait, the rumoured beauty who conquered the little demon? Rumour said that when the little demon almost killed the young master, a black beauty saved him from the disaster. Turns out, the black beauty subdued the little demon with its lovable prowess!
\"Bloody bastards, quickly save the beauty or we'll incur disaster!\"
The Sol Keepers tried to retrieve the black cub but the other bronze guard interfered with them.
They can't beat those shitty bastards because of an order, however, they can't also elicit the madness of a certain someone.
They ask the squad leader to do something about their behaviour, and at the same time talk things out.
\"Look! Look! this toy looks like a cub of some sort?!\"
But these bastards just won't listen to them!
They throw the cub within each other like a ball.
The other bronze bastards nudge at them trying to take the cub:\"Hey! Hey! We protected His Royal Majesty all day long! Let us brothers take a fun time with this thing!\"
They smiled horrendously.
Swissh—
They heard an abrupt and light strength coming to their way.
The bronze guard took his spear and stabbed the little black ball.
Gasps!
\"What the fuck do you think you're doing?\"
Instead of the black ball being pierced to death, a hand stopped the spear.
Blood trickled down from Xi Sheng's hands. The pain? She can't even feel it. Currently, her mind was as clear as it could be—the first sign of going crazy, but this time she didn't lose her sense.
She held back any murderous intent that could stir up her tranquillity.
We're doing good in holding back!
Xi Sheng felt a tickly sensation in her foot and glanced on it.
The cub tried its best to welcome her arrival and it didn't stand for even a second when it fell down.
The wound on its body didn't escape Xi Sheng's eyes. There's something glistening to its body and when it drops, red colour stained the land.
\"Are you an idiot? What are you doi—!\"
Xi Sheng slid her wounded hand from the spearhead to its wooden body. She held it tightly thus her injured hand bled even more.
Xi Sheng raised lifted her and smashed it directly to the guard's neck. Their height differences lessened the impact but it was enough to immobilize him.
\"Arg! My neck!\"
When he fell and lost control of the spear. Xi Sheng overturned the spear and pointed its ferocious tip to the man's stomach. This is where black fluffball is injured.
Sol Keepers, and the royal guards were caught off their guard with Xi Sheng's appearance. It's all within a minute of what happened, from Xi Sheng blocking the spear to her striking the man's neck.
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.\"
[Connection Established! Stud Horse System 008 and Eigh greet Host No. 4 Xi Sheng.]
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.
