Mad Crown Princess
Chapters. 20 - The Earth Guard Sun
Shangguan Wei prepared with his first attack. He formed a sword with his ice element. Suddenly, the snow fell and froze the river that flowed in front of him. Highlight his sharp eyes, emitting a blood-red glow and air of existence, so feared by the ferocious beasts that were within the forest.
The wind continued to blow fiercely and the cold, making anyone feel weak from it. However, this young man looked formidable and remained in his same position. A grin formed on his lips. His hand opened the hood of his head and showed the figure of a young man with golden brown hair. His eyeballs were green like deep sea grass however, slightly overcast.
”Yang noble Dragon King. I hope you didn't really protect the human child just now. Uh! Or maybe His Majesty liked the girl earlier?” asked the young man while looking at him cynically.
Shangguan Wei was expressionless as he replied, ”It's none of your business! Besides, what did you come here for?”
”Let me introduce myself first.” says youth. ”... My name, is Zhongyuan. My name here is the Earth-keeper Sun. My purpose in coming here is to kill anyone who knows the seven secrets of the earth. Those two human children, have known everything and I must finish them off immediately.”
”I don't allow it!” chirps Shangguan Wei. ”... Why keep it a secret and kill anyone who knows it? What is your purpose in being here? Already know that you are the sun guardians of the earth. You shouldn't have soiled your hands with blood.”
Zhongyuan looked surprised and said, ”What's wrong with my King? It's not usual that Your Majesty won't allow me to kill people. This answer, is not the answer you usually say.” he said while folding his hands. ”... Let me see now. His Majesty doesn't seem lonely anymore. That man has really changed you.”
Shangguan Wei smiled a grin and said, ”If so, why? Are you going to take issue with it?”
”Haah,... His majesty has really let us all down.” Zhongyuan said as he raised dozens of swords behind his back. ”... What about a short fight with me? If you choose that human child, you can kill me now.”
Shangguan Wei bit his lip as he did not want to start the fight and chose between the two options.
At the same time, the two seemed to stop when they were quite far away from the place. Tao Sonyun clung to a tree as they continued to run between the rough rocks and the slippery grass. However, he looked surprised after seeing Shu Qingzhi who looked ordinary even though they had run for quite a long time.
”Do you not feel exhausted at all? Didn't we run far enough?” ask Tao Sonyun who still does not believe.
Shu Qingzhi immediately looked at him confusedly and said, ”It's normal. One must have the ability to survive and protect oneself. The enemy does not come from strangers but, it could be from the people closest to you.” he said while cleaning his clothes from dust.
”Then, where did you learn all that?” tanya Tao Sonyun who then said in his mind, ”When she is just an ordinary girl. Why can he do all that easily?”
Shu Qingzhi replied, ”I've already said it. Where I come from, the weak will die quickly and the strong will have a chance of living longer. I've thought of my world like a battle arena that will finish and be finished.”
A second later, there was the sound of tree branches falling in every place. In addition, they also heard the sound of footsteps that made the ground tremble quite loudly. The two of them immediately looked towards the source of the sound and before long, a large bear appeared that came over with several other beasts.
”Princess Qingzhi! Here!” the Taoist exclaim of Sonyun instantly pulled Shu Qingzhi aside and avoided the hordes of beasts that were heading this way. However, the beasts did not attack the two but they continued to walk towards the place they were living in.
”It's impossible for something bad to happen there right?” the Tao Sonyun murmured that Shu Qingzhi was able to hear because right now, the two of them were close together.
At the same time, Shu Qingzhi directly pushed Tao Sonyun's face from before him and walked towards the crowded-looking footprints. ”... We forget the witch. He may be there.” said Shu Qingzhi who immediately turned his attention forward.
”You mean to go there? And what about the wild animals? You may not be able to beat them all.” said Tao Sonyun.
Shu Qingzhi was silent for a while and said, ”I can take care of myself.” he said as he pulled out a dagger stored under his cloak. ”Only I want to go. You don't need to do it.” afterwards, Shu Qingzhi immediately ran away following a large trail that was heading somewhere.
Tao Sonyun who saw it looked anxious. He clenched his hands in fear of trembling when he saw all that. ”What should I do? He really left and can I just stay here?” muttered.
At the same time, several wolves seemed to be biting on both the shoulders and arms of Shangguan Wei who could only fall silent in the same position. Both of his legs were forced to kneel while, at his waist there was currently a huge snake wrapped around him.
”What's up, Your Honor? Why didn't you attack me at all?” ask Zhongyuan. ”... Look atyou! You are very badly injured and the human child did not come to help you.”
Shangguan Wei smiled a grin and said, ”I can't be out of thought. It is futile to fight with you. If I want you dead, I might be able to finish it in one strike.”
Zhongyuan laughed off. He put his foot on Shangguan Wei's shoulder and said, ”Don't tell me you don't want the boy to see your darkest side? The cruel and resolute dragon king, turned into a gentle dragon King and had the same heart as a human. His Majesty never thought that His Majesty himself was not a human but, instead, liked a human child? Haah, really a wasteful thing.” he said ending a grin grin.
Shangguan Wei was silent for a while and then asked, ”Absolutely I don't deserve all that?”
Then, a second later appeared a white flash that instantly split the body of the wolf that was biting his shoulder. The incident, made both of them look surprised and immediately turned to the direction of the voice. And they looked surprised to find out that the one who had killed the one wolf behind them was Shu Qingzhi who was only accompanied by his dagger.
