XIAO SHUXIANG'S

444 - Arrogance [Revised]

It took about half an hour until the hue on Schonheit's cheek disappeared. He tried not to remember the shameful thing. However upon seeing Ling Qing Zhu, his cheeks turned red again.

"Schwein's.."

Xiao Shuxiang did not know what to say to comfort this young man beside him. If he says, 'it was just a mistake' and asks Schonheit to forget it - it is absolutely impossible.

"Geez, the White Cat is really outrageous. If I told you that touching the wings of the Elves was the same as harassing them, then Schwein would have no face and the White Cat was even worse.." Xiao Shuxiang felt a pain in the back of his neck, he tried to calm himself down.

"Heah.. All right, I won't say. The White Cat must not know, this is a secret. But I hope my mouth isn't too chatty to offend this matter in the future."

Although reassuring, but in fact Xiao Shuxiang secretly smiled meaningfully. He then looked at his White Cat who did not seem sinful at all.

["Your Majesty.."] Schonheit began to make a sound, ["How can you meet a human like that Miss? Her.. She so.. Roar."]

Schonheit's head throbbed, his wings slowly disappearing and this made Ling Qing Zhu flinch. The girl walked over who suddenly made Schonheit climb onto Xiao Shuxiang's bed with a pale face.

["Your Majesty..! What is he?!"]

!?

Xiao Shuxiang did not know whether to laugh or pity at Schonheit's behavior. He also prevented his White Cat and calmed the Plant Elf.

"White Cat, she's afraid of you.. Don't go near her, okay?"

"Shuxiang, the wings are gone. How did that happen?"

"White cat, your curiosity can traumatize others. Let me explain everything to you later,"

"Mrs,"

In fact, it was only natural for Ling Qing Zhu to be this enthusiastic. He was in a different world. There are a lot of things in this place that he has seen for the first time. And when compared to the gripping-Here Demon World Ling Qing Zhu felt comfortable and as if she was in her own home.

"Shuxiang, meet me." Ling Qing Zhu looked at his Guardian Protector.

At times like this, he does look like a cat.

"I introduced you to him earlier. Schwein says you're so pretty.. And pervert,"

"What's that all? But why does he feel like I don't want to go?"

"That's because you've touched the 'forbidden' part of her body. That's why he's afraid and thinks you're a pervert!"

Xiao Shuxiang was anxious to say it, he had to scream in his heart. If Ling Qing Zhu alone could behave this way, then his good friend would likely be even worse.

"White Cat, Schwein is not used to humans. Especially if his wings were touched without permission, the Elves would act like that. So you need to be careful from now on. Don't touch them, too,"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked, he nodded slowly and then turned his head towards Schonheit. A small animal that looks like a ball of feathers is still in his arms.

"Sorry for my impoliteness, Young Master." Ling Qing Zhu bowed respectfully before turning his head back towards his Guardian Guard and asking that this young man translate his words in a language that Schonheit understood.

Xiao Shuxiang did so, he also told Schonheit that Ling Qing Zhu would not touch anything again without permission first.

Although Schonheit forgave the man who was with his Emperor, he remained vigilant. He sat back on the edge of the bed and carefully stared at the girl standing before him.

Not wanting to make Schonheit feel nervous and extremely embarrassed, Xiao Shuxiang started discussing about his marriage to Ling Qing Zhu which would be held for another four days.

Schonheit had just remembered and came back surprised, he had received many letters of application for his Emperor lately from various Elves and had not yet given an answer because his Emperor did not exist.

["... Your Majesty is now back, so how did you decide about this?"]

["Application letter? How many Elves have proposed to me?"] Xiao Shuxiang felt that this was a rare occurrence, his eyes narrowed slightly before returning.

[".. Don't the Elves hate humans? Then how can they make a proposal to me?"]

Although Xiao Shuxiang was the Emperor in this world, it did not rule out the possibility that there were most Elves who did not like his presence.

Schonheit, ["Your Majesty, yesterday was the thirtyth letter of the week. If it is counted"]

["Wait. You think I'll marry them all and form a harem? Not likely. In this world there are still many bachelor Elves, I will not be that selfish and monopolize the beautiful Elves in this place. After all, a White Cat is enough for me."]

["Your Majesty, but.."]

["Schwein, you also have a fiancee this time. Would you accept if another Elf came and asked you to marry her? I'm sure your fiancee Verkrausen won't agree,"]

["Your Majesty..! The verzaubren! The girl's name was Verzaubren, not Verkrausen. Why are you never right to say someone else's name?"]

Aiya, it's not like that.. It was just that Xiao Shuxiang's tongue could never be familiar with the difficult names in this place. Moreover, the Elves here have a complicated name to almost make his tongue slip.

Ling Qing Zhu's brows seemed to be in chains, he was astonished and curious at the conversation of the two people before him. Whether he was being talked about or not, but he felt insinuated.

["All right, whoever your fiance's name is.."] Xiao Shuxiang chose to give up, [".. I obviously can't accept that proposal. You have to turn them all down."]

Xiao Shuxiang then looked at his White Cat who was still hugging the small, hairy animal.

A smile began to appear on his handsome face.

He continued his words without taking his eyes off his White Cat, ["Schwein. I'm just gonna marry this girl. He's the only one. Just like my father who only had my mother in his life."]

?

"Why are you staring at me?" ling Qing Zhu's voice was cold, he didn't like it if his Guardian Stare at him while speaking a language he didn't understand at all. Moreover, this young man even smiled.

"Are you hurting me?"

"Of course not. I just feel.. Looking closely, it turns out that you are beautiful as well. Your height isn't much different from mine, so you're a good fit."

"Hmphs. You just realized?" Ling Qing Zhu slowly shook her hair. Although his tone was still cold and his countenance was flat, he was quite proud of the praise from his Guardian.

Xiao Shuxiang blinked before shaking his head slowly, he smiled and got up from his seat.

"White Cat, come on. Time to go,"

"Mrs,"

Xiao Shuxiang turned to Schonheit and invited the Elves to go together. He said he wanted to take Ling Qing Zhu around, they would settle for three days here.

["Your Majesty, I don't think I can come. I've got to tell everyone that you're home, and so.. About the news you're getting married."]

["Don't. That's why I came in the other way because I didn't want anyone to know. And as for the news that I'm getting married, you should use nice words for them to accept. You also have to make sure that the Elves can keep their words. If even one of them said a word that was not good let alone to make my mood deteriorate, then I will make sure there will be a skinning alive at the foot of the Celestial Emperor Mountain. And you know, I'm not gonna joke about that."]

Xiao Shuxiang spoke in an ordinary tone. But in his last sentence, Schonheit could see his Emperor smiling with glittering eyes.

Ling Qing Zhu himself felt it was the longest Guardian Guardians had said, regardless of what Xiao Shuxiang discussed. But seeing the smile of this Alchemist Chef who more closely resembled an evil grin, he also came to the conclusion that Xiao Shuxiang said something bad.

["Schwein, come along."]

["Your Majesty, isn't it a bad thing if you just throw a wedding party in the Human World? This place is also your home,"]

Schonheit followed Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu as the two began to climb onto the back of the Eins who had turned into dragons. Schonheit raised his wings and flew beside the white dragon.

["Schwein, I thought about it too.."]

Early on bringing Ling Qing Zhu here, Xiao Shuxiang was indeed planning to introduce her White Cat to her people in this world as well as announce about her marriage.

But if he did so without any preparation first, the Elves would throw him with various questions and worst possible, he would have to settle for a very long time in this place.

"Shuxiang, what are you guys really talking about?" Ling Qing Zhu could no longer hold back her curiosity. The language of these two young men was different and he felt like he was being offended.

"It's about us. Schwein wanted to inform all my people about the arrival of Xiao Shuxiang who brought his future wife here. But I won't allow it,"

"Your people?"

?!

Ling Qing Zhu turned his head when he heard the question from his Guardian Guardian just now. But not for a few seconds, he looked straight ahead when he realized that the face of the young man behind him was so close.

"Don't tell me you're a king,"

"Of course not. The Elf World had no 'King', but 'Emperor'. My title is that one is so amazing, I get goosebumps. Hows it? Are you surprised?"

"Mn? You're an Emperor?"

"Why? Can't believe?"

Ling Qing Zhu looked ordinary. He had indeed been wondering from the beginning about Xiao Shuxiang's admirable residence, but before he had found out-the animal that looked like a feather ball had already caught his attention first.

Ling Qing Zhu brought with him a ball of feathers which he named Fairy. He was seen rubbing the ball with his left hand, while his other hand was holding onto the back of Xiao Shuxiang's hand.

"I would actually be more surprised if you were the ruler of the Demon World and were a descendant of the Devil."

"Yes my. White Cat, you're so mean. Where is a devil as handsome as I am? You won't be able to find it," Xiao Shuxiang did not want to be in the same likeness as that filthy creature, in order to shudder in disgust.

"So you're not?"

"Do I look like that?"

Ling Qing Zhu wanted to reply, 'right'. This was because in some circumstances Xiao Shuxiang looked terrible, especially when his Guardian was engaged in a fight. But he was silent for a long time and noticed the scene below.

"You.. Looks like an angel of darkness." Ling Qing Zhu bluntly said it, without hesitation with a flat expression.

"Is that what I was like in your mind?"

"Mrs,"

"That means I'm amazingly charming..." Xiao Shuxiang smiled, he started again. "Doesn't that include your confession? You like me, don't you?"

"Impossible."

"Come on... Why don't you confess to the White Cat? I just want to hear you say that you like me, is that easy saying hard for you?"

"That's a shameful word."

"God. Saying 'like' you say shameful? You know, that simple word could make people happy."

"Hmph, you've been used to saying shameless words, I'm different from you."

Xiao Shuxiang pouted, fortunately both of his hands were holding the mane of Eins so Ling Qing Zhu was spared from the pinch.

Schonheit who was flying on the right side of Eins did not understand the conversation of these two humans. However seeing from his Emperor expression, he felt that Xiao Shuxiang had already lost to Ling Qing Zhu.

[Your Majesty, do all the girls in the Human World have traits like her? If not, did you force her to marry you?"]

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head when he heard Schonheit's voice, ["What do you mean?"]

According to Schonheit, there were two reasons behind this girl who was cold to her Emperor. First, his Emperor ruthlessly slaughtered the entire family and forced the girl to marry him. Then the second reason was his belief in the first reason.

["Your Majesty, be honest with me. How could you meet this Miss and end up getting married? You didn't threaten him, did you?"]

["Schwein, how can you think that..? Is Xiao Shuxiang that sad that he has to threaten a girl before he can get married?"]

Despite having a friendly face, it did not close the fact that Xiao Shuxiang could act as cruel as Schonheit had imagined. The young man could do anything, he was not as innocent as his face.

Ling Qing Zhu was taken around the Central Region by Eins, Xiao Shuxiang, and Schonheit. He loved every sight he saw, especially at night.

At the same time, in the Human-Gong World Zitao raged inside the meeting of the Blood Scarlet pillar members.

This meeting took place in the Skull Sword Party. Attended by the Six Shadow Swordsmen, Miss Honey Blood, Rou Mei Qi, Gou Yun Fei, and Ge Yu Han.

Qian Kun, the black-robed figure with a fox mask on his face remained silent and as if waiting until Gong Zitao finished venting his anger.

The man with the sturdy posture urged that Qian Kun quickly take action to stop Ling Qing Zhu's marriage to Xiao Shuxiang. He did not want the girl he loved so much to be married by someone else.

"... You have the power, why is it still not moving?! Are you going to wait until their wedding is over?! Until my Qing Zhu'Er becomes someone else's?!"

"Young Master Gong.." Qian Kun's voice sounded heavy, this was the voice of an adult man. ".. It is very important to set the plan carefully before taking action. They will be vigilant and tighten security in the marriage later because knowing we will attack, you clearly know better how the security in the sect."

"So you're gonna let the wedding go?! You will let Ling Qing Zhu and Xiao Shuxiang get married?!" Gong Zitao's hands were clenched tightly.

Lately Qian Kun had been too calm and cared more about the elders of the Skull Sword Party. I don't know where that person is not present in this room.

Gou Yun Fei, "Young Master. Miss Ling and Xiao Shuxiang could have married, but you will have the girl. It's a big gamble, there's no way we're gonna miss it."

"That's of course, after all I like Xiao Shuxiang. She herself would be mine," Rou Mei Qi smiled, she still remembered the first time she had met the Alchemist Chef while at the funeral.

Xiao Shuxiang was the young man who caught his attention and of course, he disliked Ling Qing Zhu. The white-haired girl from the Sky Pagoda Sect was his arch-rival, it was obvious that Rou Mei Qi would not let Ling Qing Zhu live a quiet life.

"Hah, Alright. Now I can see your faith. I hope you guys don't disappoint me. Let's go Yu Han," Gong Zitao walked away leaving the other Blood Scarlet members just like that. Behind him followed Ge Yu Han.

Gong Zitao could be as arrogant as he had been appointed as the right hand of the elder of the Skull Sword Party. In his hand, Gong Zitao held the Soul Freezing Sword and was a confidant of Qian Kun.

As Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han had left, one of the Six Shadow Swordsmen snorted in annoyance, she was Eve Raynar.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qian Kun. But I really don't like that guy. You're here, but he's not at all polite to you. I really can't bear to break his neck."

"Miss, you're allies in this. So it's not good to fight with each other." Qian Kun did not care about the nature of his members who were sometimes arrogant. Because indeed, it has become human nature.

Eve Raynar exhaled, if Qian Kun had already said so---she had no reason to muddy the atmosphere, but still-she did not like Gong Zitao.

"I don't like that guy either. He should have been a long time ago, but First Brother instead let him go and forgot the basic principles of our group." Wisesa had been silent since then, but now she had voiced her dislike for Gong Zitao.

Everyone knows, the Six Shadow Warriors have a principle where when they fail to carry out a mission-they will kill the person who hired them. But so far, only Gong Zitao has remained alive.

"Sister..." Sri Anyar began to say, "Our principles will not be forgotten. Back then, Xiao Shuxiang was our enemy and he settled in the Sky Pagoda Sect. I let Gong Zitao live so that he could become a spy in the sect.."

Sri Anyar is not a fool. He couldn't possibly spare Gong Zitao's life just like that. He told his brother not to worry, the principle of the Six Shadow Swordsman still he held firm until now.

"... Gong Zitao will definitely die. Someday... With my own hands... I'm gonna kill him." Sri Anyar smiled, but it did not last long because there was a small sound of laughter from the red-clothed woman sitting next to him.

Miss Honey Blood, "... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted. But this is so funny.. You used Gong Zitao, while all of us here were taken advantage of by him,"

Miss Blood Honey used her eyes to point at Qian Kun, she laughed again. "Isn't this funny? It's like saying, 'the snake that's after a rat but doesn't realize there's a bird of prey watching it'."

Qian Kun snorted, "Good expression. But didn't I never force you to join me? I'm just giving you an offer, the final decision... It's in your hands."

"Mr Qian Kun~ I'm just kidding. After all, utilizing each other had become one of the basic rules of the martial world. Didn't we?"

Qian Kun did not oppose it, no one in this room was opposed to Miss Blood Honey's remark. They clearly understood the meaning of the red-clothed woman and indeed what she said was not wrong.

"Alright, if you all understand the plan and no one else wants to issue a complaint, then you can disband. Remember, don't take too flashy an action."

Sri Anyar and his five brothers began to get up from their seats. The six bowed respectfully to Qian Kun and stepped out. They were followed by Madam Blood Honey, Rou Mei Qi and Gou Yun Fei.

Qian Kun again sat alone, his red eyes shining behind the fox mask he was wearing. When all the members were no longer seen, he began to make a sound.

"You're getting better at hiding the air of your existence. Now you can get out... Yi Wen?"

Thin red smoke began to appear across the table from Qian Kun, the figure of a haired girl along her neck and wearing a purple robe patterned with butterfly wings appeared before her.

The girl sat across from Qian Kun, she seemed to be fiddling with her hair while smiling kindly. "I like that pretty woman in red. The phrase is similar to the story of the praying mantis and the pheasant, but he is a fool. He knows you used them all, but still wants to help you. Don't they know they could all be dead?"

"What I'm offering them is hard to resist, even if they know they're being used..." Qian Kun started to unmask her, his face making Yi Wen's eyes round.
