Chapter 868: Singing on Top of Streetlights

"You want us to spill blood within five steps? Hahaha..."

Gongsun Tai couldn’t hold back his laughter, turned to Zhuge Qingfeng and the others, and asked:

"Did you hear that? He wants us to spill blood within five steps."

Zhuge Qingfeng and the others also laughed.

Sha Lidong laughed and said, "Lei Xiaoming, are you stupid? You’ve only awakened twice with the Thunder System Totem and your strength is only that of a Third Realm War God. Apart from Lei Busi, who is a cripple, anyone else here could easily kill you, just like crushing an ant. Even Gongsun Shu, though only a Third Realm War God, can easily kill you because you’ve been useless for 20 years and have no combat experience or knowledge of how to use the Thunder System Totem."

Zhuge Qingfeng urged, "Gongsun Tai, quickly kill him. We can’t stay here too long, or the King will suspect we killed Lei Busi and Lei Xiaoming."

Gongsun Tai nodded and without further ado, thrust his sword toward Ye Xiu’s throat.

This thrust wasn’t particularly fast, but it was impossible for a Third Realm War God to evade.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu’s eyes turned sharp, a killing intent rising. However, just as he was about to act, a voice suddenly shouted.

"Stop!"

Ye Xiu swiftly withdrew his killing intent.

And Gongsun Tai’s sword, about to pierce Ye Xiu’s throat, also halted.

Everyone turned toward the voice!

Only to see Kristina walking in with a lollipop.

What’s this girl doing here... Ye Xiu wondered.

"Greetings, Princess!"

Recognizing Kristina, Gongsun Tai and the others immediately knelt on one knee.

Lei Busi rolled off the wheelchair: "Your subordinate Lei Busi welcomes Your Highness, the Princess. This subordinate is inconvenienced physically."

"All of you, stand up!"

Kristina approached Ye Xiu, took the lollipop out of her mouth, licked it with her small lilac tongue, looked Ye Xiu up and down, and asked:

"Why don’t you salute when you see the Princess?"

"I don’t know you," Ye Xiu responded.

"Now you do, salute!" Kristina demanded.

You petty woman, are you taking advantage of me on purpose? Looks like your backside is itching for trouble.

Ye Xiu griped inwardly, but outwardly he shouted:

"I, Lei Xiaoming, pay respects to the Princess."

With that, he tentatively started to kneel.

"Forget it."

Kristina waved her hand and asked:

"I heard from Lin Lei that you awakened with a slap from Gongsun Shu?"

Ye Xiu nodded, "Yes, just now Gongsun Shu slapped me awake again."

Kristina paused her lollipop-licking, surprised:

"Awakened twice in a day, and both times from a slap, are you the easily awakened type?"

Before Ye Xiu could reply, Lei Busi, sitting paralyzed, answered:

"Exactly, Xiaoming is the easily awakened type."

Hearing this, Gongsun Tai and the others silently cursed. Once Kristina knows ’Lei Xiaoming’ is the easily awakened type, she will surely protect ’Lei Xiaoming,’ making it hard for them to kill him.

"Interesting, seems like I found a treasure."

Kristina’s eyes lit up, satisfied the more she looked at ’Lei Xiaoming’:

"Lei Xiaoming, you’ll be my guard from now on. If you perform well, I’ll take you to the Golden Family and nurture you properly."

Gongsun Tai and the others were instantly in despair. With ’Lei Xiaoming’ as the Princess’s guard, he’d have immense backing, and they could no longer dare to harm him.

Ye Xiu’s eyes brightened. If Kristina’s taking people to the Underground City, doesn’t that mean he can go along too?

Unexpectedly, his casually acquired easily awakened trait had such benefits.

He quickly said, "Thank you for nurturing me, Princess."

"Hmm!"

Kristina was pleased with ’Lei Xiaoming’s’ attitude, pointing to Gongsun Tai and the others kneeling:

"What are they doing at the Lei Family?"

Gongsun Tai and the others felt their hearts hang in suspense, looking up with pleading eyes at Ye Xiu, praying he wouldn’t tell the truth.

"They think my being easily awakened poses a threat, so they wanted to kill me,"

Ye Xiu thought of using Kristina to eliminate Gongsun Tai and his group.

When Gongsun Tai and the others heard this, their hearts went cold!

It’s over!

"Nonsense!"

Kristina scolded them:

"Gongsun Tai, Zhuge Qingfeng, Sha Lidong, don’t you know how important an easily awakened type is to the three Judicator Families and the Eternal Kingdom? Killing Lei Xiaoming is like killing a future super expert."

Gongsun Tai and the others prostrated in fear: "Spare us, Princess!"

"Lei Xiaoming!"

Kristina ordered Ye Xiu:

"With enemies outside, we need all hands on deck. Just punish them lightly and spare their lives!"

Gongsun Tai and the others breathed a huge sigh of relief!

Ye Xiu frowned, thinking Kristina was quite strategic, then reluctantly said:

"As long as I don’t have to kill them, any punishment is fine?"

"Yes!" Kristina nodded.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said:

"Have them strip and climb up the lampposts to sing for an hour."

Kristina was shocked; there’s actually someone as cheeky as Ye Xiu, Lei Xiaoming is quite the character.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Tai and the others were displeased. Gongsun Tai angrily protested:

"Princess, I can be killed but not humiliated."

Kristina’s eyes flashed cold: "Then kill yourself!"

Uh!

Awkward!

Gongsun Tai initially wanted to force Kristina to order ’Lei Xiaoming’ to change the punishment, but he didn’t expect Kristina to favor ’Lei Xiaoming’ so much.

He conceded:

"Fine, I’ll sing!"

Under Gongsun Shu’s lead, Zhuge Qingfeng and others left the Lei Family courtyard, searching for lampposts.

"Stop playing dead, they’re singing, you go strip and dance!"

Ye Xiu kicked the supposedly deceased Gongsun Shu, ordered.

Gongsun Shu: "..."

Ten minutes later!

The lampposts along the street outside the Lei Family had nude figures hanging from them, each singing loudly.

While Gongsun Shu danced sensually on the street.

Seeing this, passersby stopped and pointed.

When they saw the people on the lampposts were big figures like Gongsun Tai, they were stunned.

What had these big figures eaten wrong to indulge in such heavy-tasting games?

"Eye-burning!"

Kristina couldn’t bear to watch anymore, turning to ask Ye Xiu:

"Lei Xiaoming, I heard you’re the most knowledgeable person in the Royal City and even the Eternal Kingdom, having studied all the Martial Arts Classics in the Royal City libraries. Is that true?"

Ye Xiu couldn’t comprehend why Kristina asked this but nodded and said:

"As a loser, reading is my only hobby."

This was true; the real Lei Xiaoming indeed loved reading, though lacking in martial talent, he had studied all available Martial Arts Classics he could find.

"How much do you know about the Sacrificial Heart Imprint?"

Kristina inquired.

This was her reason for finding ’Lei Xiaoming’; since the Golden Family didn’t want her in the Underground City and couldn’t let Ye Xiu know, she had to find a way to break the Sacrificial Heart Imprint to completely free herself from Ye Xiu’s control.
