Chapter 26 : Bad men go bye bye

| The next day, we woke up, eager to continue our exploration. I had something fun in mind for the evening, and I was looking forward to it. We set out to explore a bit more, and I was excited about the new possibilities.|

" So what are you planning to do now ?"

/ Find a place where I could settle down for the time being./

Where do you plan to stay ? This place is full of different buildings. Just enter one and sleep there like you did for the last house you did.

[ You are so clueless. I'll shut you up or you'll keep giving me second hand embarrassment.]

" Um Xuan I don't think that's how things work."

Then how does it work then?

" I don't know ask him. He used to roam around the humans before I bet he knows how it works."

| He looks at him then turns away again.|

Hmm

" Sir how should we call you anything except master."

/ Just call me Yulong. You calling me master sounds weird to me./

[ Wait it just hit me that we won't be able to go to that beautiful place again. When will he let us go ? I'll stick around him just because he can help me and Xuan become stronger but if he insists that we stay with him forever, I'll make an escape plan for both of us.]

"Yulong will you help us ?"

/ With what ?/

" Help us become stronger"

Are you seriously going to ask him that.

" Why not? He basically kidnapped us and turned us into his pets. The least he could do is treat us well. After all, we're small and defenseless, just like he said. We're vulnerable out here, and there's a real risk of getting captured or worse, so..."

/ Why do you want to get stronger ? And you're asking me of all people. Aren't you scared that I might kill you for talking so much ?/

" Listen old man..."

/Old man ?/

" Yeah, old man, you may seem young but I'm not falling for it. You have been here for more than a of centurie but I'm not going to be fooled by your looks. First of all let me tell you why it would be stupid if you tried to kill us. I mean, seriously, you've already killed two innocent foxes just for acting like foxes! If people found out about that, wouldn't they think you're completely unreasonable ?"

/.../

Actually...

" No, no, let me finish. Second, I don't know if something's wrong with your personality or something. You seem to have this impulse to kill anything in sight as if it's the solution to everything, and that's seriously concerning."

| He bursts into uncontrollable laughter, which annoys me a bit. I can't stand being laughed at because it feels like a direct insult to me. Meanwhile, Haoxuan simply shakes his head, as if he thinks I'm foolish for even speaking up in the first place, further deepening my irritation.|

I-Why are you like this ?

" "What exactly are you trying to say? And please, quit laughing, old man; it's starting to get on my nerves,"

| I retorted, growing increasingly frustrated with his amusement.|

/ Has she always been like this Haoxuan ?/

Sadly yes, and it gets worse overtime.

" You guys talk as if I'm not here. Look down on me all you want I won't fight with you, I'll just prove that I can be very powerful."

It's strange; you usually start yelling when you get mocked. Have you perhaps changed? 

" Nope I'm just not in the mood today, I have better things to do then start bickering with you. Besides I already planned what I wanted to do today-"

| Before I could even finish speaking, a menacing group of seven men begin to approach us. We both shut up and observe the men. Their eyes lock onto Xuan and me for a moment. I could already see the unmistakable glimmer of greed in their eyes. I take a glance at Yulong wondering how he will take care of the situation,I admit, I didn't mind a good show in the morning, I just hoped that he wouldn't over do it.|

Moron #1 : Well some nice compagnions you have there.

Moron #2 :They look like they could earn us some money.`

[ No amount of money can buy a Queen like me you ugly duckling. And come on,look at your nose it looks like a tree fell on it, it's pretty obvious that you don't have a wife because of it. Aiyo so pitiful.]

Moron #1 : Let's make a deal. Very simple and doable. Give us the foxes and we won't kill you. See it's easy right ?

Moron #3 : Nah that's way too easy, we should make it harder for him. How about this give us the foxes and your money then we'll let you go. Don't you agree boys ?

All of them : Yeah !

| His face darkens and a creepy smile can be seen on his face giving me shivers running down my spine. He responds in a cold voice as if he was calling the undead.|

/Tch ! You must be an idiot if you think that you could kill me./

This is not going to end well for them.

" Who cares ? They deserve it anyways."

| Yulong punches the first guy on his ugly nose letting out a crack sound. Two of the other men run towards him but he simply takes both of their heads and smashes them together.The other two were hesitating at first but they quickly changed their minds and tried to run away sadly Yulong is not a merciful person so before they could even take five steps he appears in front of them in just a split second and beats both of them up making me bet that even their mothers won't be able to recognize them.|

/ Cowards get double the punishment./

Indeed, I despise cowards myself also.

"That was nice and satisfying to bad I couldn't land a blow but good job anyways.

/Thanks./
