Xyrin Empire - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Separated (Part Two)

Facing two rather strange twins, Qianqian instinctively grabbed hold of Chen Qing’s hand as the latter’s palms were also moist.

However, the twins actually did something unexpected.

They stood upright as they thumped their right hand onto their left chests as they said in a strange vibrating voice, “Xyrin Spatial Unit Commanders, Primary Spatial Shrieker Ashita, Secondary Spatial Shrieker Ashidora, in the name of the Empire’s glory, under the orders of our Emperor, is here at your service!”

Such a sudden change in events made Qianqian and Chen Qing unable to react for a moment.

They looked at each other, not sure what was to be done. Qianqian hesitated as she asked Chen Qing, “Sister Chen Qing, what is going on?”

“I don’t know… I have never transmigrated before either!”

That was a fact. The two were newbies who had never transmigrated before, and none of the novels they had read regarding transmigration had mentioned this situation before. A pair of powerful-looking twins appearing in an alternate world and pledging allegiance was something that would have required a very unrestrained imagination to be able to think of this as a storyline. No ordinary novels about transmigration had touched on this heaven-defying but beautiful situation.

Fortunately, this book had never been ordinary from the start…

“You… good day to you two… who is the Big Sister, and who is the Little Sister?”

Qianqian carefully exchanged pleasantries. She wasn’t sure if the thought-process of people in this alternate world were the same as people from Earth. As such, she could only use as simple a way to express her benign intentions and try to establish a warm relationship with the twins.

“We are honored to speak with you,” One of the twins—the lady that had a blue light in her left eye—replied warmly with a light smile. “I am the Primary Spatial Shrieker Ashita, the Big Sister. This is my Little Sister, Secondary Spatial Shrieker Ashidora. We will be responsible for your safety for now, my honored Empress, until we regroup with the great Xyrin Emperor.”

“What did you guys call me?!” Qianqian was astonished. When did she become an Empress?

“Empress,” Ashita continued with her warm and gentle smile, “you are the great Xyrin Emperor’s partner; only you are deserving of this honorary title.”

“Wait a minute!” Qianqian immediately interrupted Ashita, “I think you guys have gotten something wrong; I am but an ordinary human from Earth and not some Empress. I don’t know your great Emperor; I have a boyfriend, and I hope that you guys can leave us alone!”

Although the twins potentially possessed much power and although that so-called Emperor must possess some might that she couldn’t match up against, Qianqian definitely was not going to submit just because of this. Qianqian had read many transmigration novels in her free time, and she had already thought of the many possibilities that could happen to her.

Now, Qianqian’s mind had already sketched out what she thought fit the current situation: some arrogant Xyrin Emperor had somehow taken fancy to her and had sent her to this alternate world. He was now trying to use his so-called manly attraction to make her submit to him. This kind of corny setting and scenario had been read about many times by her.

However, Qianqian knew that she would definitely not submit!

Someone on Earth was waiting for her.

Ashita and Ashidora exchanged a glance; they had not expected this. Actually, ever since they had arrived at the Emperor’s side and had successfully opened a florist at the corner of a street, the sisters had not cared much about the happenings on Earth. As such, they still did not know that the Xyrin Empress they had been ordered to protect actually knew nothing about the Empire!

They couldn’t be blamed for this. The Xyrin twins had rather unique characters, and their extremely high mind-synchronization resulted in them having a very different thought-process from ordinary people. They often would only focus on one matter and ignore everything else that was going on.

Besides the Emperor’s orders and the Empire’s interests, the twins would definitely not become interested in anything else. Instead of being concerned with matters that required low-efficient information gathering to handle, the duo was more inclined to use their never-ending mind-talk to spend their time on.

Ashita looked as if she still wanted to say something. However, Qianqian shook her head adamantly, “You don’t have to say anything else. I have a boyfriend, and your ridiculous Emperor has nothing to do with me.”

Evidently. Much of this statement could be dissed such that the twin sisters actually didn’t know where to start doing so.

“I think you need to understand some things; actually, our Emperor is…”

Big Sister Ashita seriously thought through and formulated her words, preparing to make this Empress that was kicking up a fuss realized how many errors she had made in her statement. However, her Little Sister Ashidora suddenly butted in and said, “Alright, perhaps some serious misunderstanding had happened between us.

“However, before we continue this, please allow us to stay and protect you two. This world is actually not as safe as you imagine, and as the loyal soldiers of the Emperor, we have to carry out our orders.”

Ashidora’s words were irrefutable to Qianqian. The latter could only nod and said, “We have no choice, then. However, I still do not have any affection at all for your Emperor; after I see him, I will request to return immediately to my world!”

If I had been here, I would have cried and wailed.

…

In a bogland far away from here, a violent Lolita’s situation looked rather bad. Pandora looked at the tidal water-like hideous creatures in front of her as frost covered her face. A thick voice traveled from behind her, “Little Sister, hurry up and flee from them! The inhabitants of the bogland are too dangerous!”

Pandora turned her head slightly as she saw ten-odd humans wearing thick armor or long robes gathering behind her. They all carried some wounds and the anti-gravity magical runes on their bodies had grown rather dim. Once the runes disappeared completely—even if the monsters didn’t come, they would all be engulfed by the heartless bogland.

From their messy but varied equipment and bearings, this was a small expedition team that had come to try their luck in this dangerous bog lad to see if they could find some valuable magic beasts and make some money out of it. Unfortunately, these bold and audacious humans did not have power and luck equivalent to their boldness; the bogland inhabitants that had suddenly appeared had instantly destroyed much of their firepower.

If Pandora had not come in time and the violent spatial turbulence that had come with her arrival had not scared the brainless magic beasts, these expedition team members would long have ended up in the mouths of the magic beasts.

Pandora looked at a few of these expedition members seriously as if trying to verify something. She then turned back as her fuchsia, pupil-less eyes looked at the black strange monsters that appeared to be three-, four-fold magnified slugs. The magic-born creatures without much intellect actually took a few steps back collectively as they instinctively felt fear; it was as if they had seen their mortal enemy.

In actual fact, they had seen their mortal enemy.

Pandora lifted herself slowly into mid-air as a layer of alloyed light armor appeared over her body as countless golden diagrams formed from stiff lines appeared in the air. After that, they slowly materialized and transformed into huge rectangular metal boxes. Each metal box had one side that had a dense hornet-nest-like opening. In these openings, an unsettling white light lit up as on the exterior of these boxes, dark-red energy seemed to flow as if it had a life on its own, flashing constantly. They were just like blood vessels that were flowing with blood.

From among the metal boxes that filled half the sky, the magical beasts felt a suffocating feeling of fear. As much as after they had been transformed they had not feared anything, they suddenly now realized that a fear they couldn’t control had surfaced in their hearts.

They did not recognize these objects; however, they recognized the energy coming from them.

This was their mortal enemy.

As such, these magical creatures acted uniformly: They used much energy to lift their bodies upright as they then spat out a corrosive and powerful black juice in Pandora’s direction.

These black juices were like an invitation from the Death God to the expedition members. However, Pandora seemed to be oblivious to them as red light flashed in her eyes. She then used her cold and mechanical voice to say, “Applos-5K Concentrated Particle Cannons, fire at will!”
