Mad Crown Princess
Chapters. 16 - Hating
Shu Qingzhi woke up among the sea scents that were all around him. Right now, a soft bed and a few servants had served him very well. For several days, he had been unconscious after brutally killing people. His attention looked expressionless when he saw the dragon-patterned bamboo curtain.
”How many days has it been?” muttered Shu Qingzhi who was unable to move his body.
This voice was able to be heard in the ears of Yin Chu who was tidying up his belongings. A second later, he immediately approached Shu Qingzhi who was still in his bed and he looked surprised when he saw that he had awakened even though he was half conscious.
”Thank God Miss is fine. We are very worried about Miss and even, Master witch to the point of not wanting to eat for days and spending her time lazing around.” Yin Chu said as she rubbed her eyes in sadness.
Shu Qingzhi looked at him confusedly and asked, ”Who are you?”
Yin Chu was surprised and immediately said, ”Has Miss forgotten? I am your servant, Yin Chu.”
”Yin Chu?” Shu Qingzhi looked puzzled upon hearing the name. He felt a little familiar but, he could not remember who the owner of this name was and how his face was. ”... You're the girl who helped me?”
Yin Chu immediately replied, ”It wasn't me who helped Miss. But, it was the witch Master who stopped Miss. At that time, Miss had already killed seven criminals. Before Miss gets out of control, the witch Master put Miss to sleep. However, since the magic is too powerful, Miss has already been asleep for three days.”
Shu Qingzhi was expressionless and stared out the window revealing a scene in the sea filled with small to large fish. ”... I want to get out of here.” murmured Shu Qingzhi.
”T~ can't Miss. If Miss is leaving, what about the witch master? He will definitely be very sad if Miss leaves.” Yin Chu said anxiously.
Shu Qingzhi looked at Yin Chu and asked, ”Indeed, who am I to him and who is he to me? I don't even like him and don't know him. Why did he take me here and refuse to return me to where I came from?”
Instantly, Yin Chu was speechless with an expression that looked shocked as well as unacceptable with all of his words. However, Shangguan Wei had already forbidden him from yelling at Shu Qingzhi with a reason that made him curious.
”Yin Chu! Get out of there. I want to talk to him.” said Shangguan Wei who was walking up to the two from behind the door.
Yin Chu immediately looked towards Shangguan Wei who had been next to him. He was worried because if he was not there, he would not be able to stop Shangguan Wei when he started to get angry with the words that Shu Qingzhi always put out. ”... Let's just hope he doesn't hit her.” his inner self.
A short while after Yin Chu left the room. Shangguan Wei seemed confused by Shu Qingzhi's ever-changing nature since yesterday's incident. However, strangely he never saw her laugh even a little.
”I don't know what to do with you. When I get angry, I might be able to destroy your country of residence. But, for now I will try to listen to your story. What makes you like this and what makes you laugh.” Shangguan Wei said as he sat on his bed.
”.....”
Looking at Shu Qingzhi who had only been silent for a while, made Shangguan Wei seem astonished and asked, ”What's wrong? You don't want to tell me? Or is something wrong here?”
Shu Qingzhi shook his head in laziness to speak. For a moment, he turned his attention away from the gaze of Shangguan Wei who kept looking at him. ”Not much I remember. Subconsciously, I had made up a story that made my life fall apart and ended tragically. I am a person that no one wants. I'm used to living alone and surviving with both hands. But, oddly enough you just came and said something in vain.” he said slowly.
On the other hand, Tao Sonyun seemed to have arrived at a village called Hui Village. According to his report, the village looks very poor because there is a group of people who extort their money. In addition, it seems that they are also failing the harvest so that, they do not have food for everyday.
”Please once.” murmured Tao Sonyun who directly descended from on his horse.
A few steps after he left his army, a middle-aged woman seemed to be walking past him. However, his condition seemed very thin because for these few days, he had not eaten anything. And when the two passed, the woman fell because she was not strong enough to walk with two buckets of water that was still full.
”Mistress? You okay?” tao asked Sonyun who looked anxious after seeing the circumstances.
The woman seemed unable to breathe. His face was pale and his lips dry. He could not even open his eyes.
”Anyone! Give me water and food! Fast!” tao exclaim Sonyun on some of his troops.
After getting it, he tried to give the woman a drink slowly. Soon, he opened his eyes even though he looked very weak and could no longer walk.
”Your Majesty, help us. There's a bunch of crooks who always eat our groceries. Their numbers are dozens of people and they are able to use swords as their weapons.” said the woman in a frightened tone.
Tao Sonyun bit his lips and immediately said, ”Simmediately spread out and capture the people who have already looted the treasures of the villagers! Don't let anything be left!”

”You want to try going to the human world again?” shangguan Wei asked which Shu Qingzhi then answered with a nod of his head. ”... But, you're not going to kill anyone who's there, are you?” he continued which instantly made Shu Qingzhi shake his head.
Shangguan Wei sighed and said, ”Alright! But, promise me you won't do anything that makes me put you to bed!”
Shu Qingzhi nodded his head.
After being convinced by his answer even with just a head move, Shangguan Wei finally complied with what he wanted. He held Shu Qingzhi's hand tightly and said, ”Don't get released if you don't want to be destroyed.”
A few seconds later, Shangguan Wei flicked his finger and right then and there, they arrived at a riverbank below the abyss. Shu Qingzhi began to believe that Shangguan Wei's teleportation magic could not be used properly.
As the light that had taken them away had disappeared, Shu Qingzhi looked down at the ground and saw that there was a young man who looked dying and like him, he looked like he was dying, this young man had fallen down from the top of the abyss while fighting with someone.
