*Sigh*

"That's not good, not one damn bit," Hao Xuan shook his head wearily, "So either they've made contact with the Xenos or worse, trying to summon demonic entities. Either way, it is going to be a shit show."

"Language please," the girl pouted all of a sudden turning an otherwise serious situation somewhat comical.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Hao Xuan quickly apologized, "How could I curse in front of one of the sisters?"

Hearing his joking tone she crossed her arms grumpily, "Profanity is a crutch of the conversational cripple."

"Really? Well, most sincerest of apologies your highness. The next time you tell me I'm heading into a demon-infested hive city I will try to be more cheerful."

This time she was the one sighing, "Yes yes, I give up, curse all you want. Hmph!"

"Thank you hahaha," Hao Xuan grinned, "It's not like my soul can get any less damned if I stop cursing."
