Xyrin Empire

Chapter 45: Desperate Kick of the Lolita

On seeing the pig-headed kid glaring at me like I was his love rival, I immediately felt confused. I don’t think I have ever offended this kid, right?

Sandora understood things much quicker than I did. “From the moment you had two beautiful ladies following you, you became the common enemy of all men.”

The speed at which this lass understood the behavior of humans was terrifying.

Qianqian suddenly smiled provokingly at the pig-headed young master standing across from her. Then, she hugged my arm.

At once, Liu Zicai’s face turned green.

Sandora glanced curiously at the way Qianqian was hugging my arm. Then, she followed suit and hugged my other arm.

At once, Qianqian’s face turned green…

Pandora suddenly found that both arms that normally belonged solely to her had been taken over. She pursed her lips and backed away and then ran towards me… to grab my neck.

At once, my face turned green!

Watching the few of us put on this face-changing drama, the people around us experienced the shock of their lives. Ever since Sandora exposed her true identity and surprised everyone, she had become the center of attention. From the government officials to the ordinary serviceman—including the few city managers holding Sicaro back, everybody had their eyes on Sandora. The impenetrable Princess, Her Highness, appeared out of nowhere.

Ah, farewell, my peaceful life. Although, I did already bid you farewell a month ago.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zicai only glared at me for a couple of seconds. Then, he turned around and walked briskly away. Although I could tell he was filled with jealousy and envy, that brat could actually control himself. It looked like this Young Master Liu was not completely hopeless and useless; at the very least, he could weigh the seriousness of the situation.

“Carbon-based beings are so interesting.” Sandora’s voice sounded in my head.

I had already given up trying to make these Xyrin Apostles understand that I was also a carbon-based being.

“Ah Jun,” Qianqian said happily. “Let’s go and dance!”

“Dance?” I stared back at her, stunned.

“That’s right, dance. The second part of this banquet is an open-air dance party!”

I looked at Sandora quizzically, and she immediately shrank back. “Don’t look at me. I was not the one who planned the second part of the banquet.”

At that moment, some people around us were already looking for dance partners. From the looks of it, a good number of people knew how the banquet was supposed to pan out. Many of them had their own dance partners already. However, even those who had not come prepared were not worried. These people were used to attending social events like this. Finding a dance partner was easy for them. The only difference was that Princess Sandora was here so most of those men present had their eyes set on a certain someone.

A handsome young man dressed in a pure-white tuxedo walked forward and bowed slightly to Sandora. “Beautiful princess, Your Highness, I wonder if you would give me the honor of having one dance?”

Sandora immediately put on the airs of a princess and curtsied. “I’m honored by your invitation. However, I regret to inform you that I already have a dance partner.”

The young master turned to glance at me, failing to hide the contempt in his eyes. “Your Highness, is this your dance partner? Forgive me for asking, this man has seemed very close to you from the beginning. I wonder what his status is. Is he reliable? I am the chairman of Ding’s International Trade, Ding Bai. I am also the organizer of this banquet. Your Highness, for the sake of your safety, I have to ask!”

What sinister language!

It seems logical and right that this man was saying these things. With these simple words, he made me out to be a cunning, dangerous man who was trying to get close to the princess for ill intentions. What’s more, there was no way for me to retort. He had already made clear that he was the organizer of this banquet. It was his duty and responsibility to ensure the princess’s safety.

As for me, I did not look like someone deserving of getting so close to the princess. Put simply, this Ding Bai was a determined protector of the princess, and I was an ugly frog intending to devour the swan. For all he knew, I was a dangerous person who was harboring ill intentions!

Finally, I recalled who this young man standing in front of me named Ding Bai was. Ding’s International Trade… this was the international trade company that recently came into the limelight. Many people could not figure out the reasons behind its rise to fame because nobody had even heard of this family business before. Still, overnight, it became a huge corporation that was well-known in every household.

Nobody knew how its business developed; much less did anyone know how about the mysterious chairman of the company. At a tender age of twenty-one, he became the top leader of Ding’s International Trade. Just as everyone was suspicious of his capabilities, he used his own impressive leadership skills and business sense to prove his own worth. This man was the same as his company, Ding’s International Trade; he rose to fame all of a sudden and then shone so brightly that nobody could stare directly at him.

He was an important character. Perhaps… even Sandora was not sure if he was worthy of her interaction.

Sandora patiently waited for him to finish speaking and then smiled politely. “In other words, Mr. Ding is suspicious of my friend’s identity? You also want to know the relationship between me and him?”

“Please forgive me for being intrusive.” Ding Bai nodded. “However, I have to fulfill my obligations as the host. After all, while this may be an open gathering, this area is still restricted. He might be Your Highness’ friend, but I must confirm his identity.”

Although Sandora had been smiling politely this entire time—through our spiritual connection, I could tell that she pissed off.

I had never seen Sandora blow up. In front of me, she always acted every bit the silly, crazy girl. However, I guessed that if she did blow up one day, the consequences would be dire. Pandora had warned me of this before.

“…Under the wrath of Emperor Sandora, the entire civilization of the twenty-fourth heavenly district was destroyed…”

Even though Sandora was no longer the same violent sovereign who caused destruction everywhere she turned, I still had enough reason to believe that if she lost her temper now, there would be destruction on the scale of a natural disaster.

Just as I prepared myself to suppress Sandora’s anger, Pandora—who had remained silent this entire time—stepped forward and stood in front of Ding Bai.

It was only at that moment that Ding Bai finally realized there was a cute angel present at the scene. Although this little angel’s eyes looked unfocused, she still looked extremely adorable.

“How are you, cute little girl…?” Ding Bai displayed his most approachable smile and bent down to greet the little girl in front of him.

“You’re not allowed to speak badly of my big brother!” She shouted in a childish voice and then kicked him all of a sudden.

…Which b*stard taught this kid to do this?!

Ding Bai let out a loud, pained cry. All the men in the room trembled. That was too harsh.

Pandora’s kick calmed Sandora down immediately. She even nonchalantly analyzed the situation through our spiritual connection. “That’s quite an effective attack. She accurately targeted the carbon-based man’s most vulnerable area. With the least amount of power, she was able to cause the greatest amount of hurt. What’s more, it was not fatal. You have a very capable general by your side.”

Have you ever met a general who specializes in kicking people in battle?!

Ding Bai’s pained scream attracted the attention of everyone present. A few of the workers immediately sprinted over. When they saw Ding Bai curled up in a ball on the ground, they quickly tried to help him up. At once, Ding Bai shouted, “Don’t touch me! If you touch me, it’ll fall apart…”

“Your Highness,” a sturdy-looking man who resembled a soldier walked towards Sandora and humbly said, “we’re sorry for disturbing you, but can you please explain to us what happened here?”

“Of course, I can,” Sandora answered, smiling gently. She looked to be in a very good mood as she said, “This Mr. Ding wanted to ask me a few questions earlier, and a few of those questions concerned the personal life of the Riska royal family. He even tried to find out about the social network of the Riska royal family. We had reason to suspect that he wanted to find out highly-classified secrets through me.

“As a result, my friend immediately subdued him and immobilized him. If we have overstepped our boundaries, we apologize. After all, this concerns our national safety and the pride of our royal family…”

Sandora, I admire you, I really admire you! You are not even ashamed of putting on such a big hat and making such a big claim. In terms of pure maliciousness, you’re practically a goddess!
