A Journey Against the World
Chapter 74

Everyone immediately stared at the source of the voice that sounded quite loud. They could all see a girl sitting casually on the royal throne with a deadly gaze fixed on Xui Sukong.

Everyone saw that the girl was their own prisoner who they were supposed to offer to their King. But I do not know when the prisoner has released himself without the knowledge of the people around him. Perhaps because Shua Xie was placed in the corner of the room, many people did not pay much attention to it any more when their King came. Of course they would be focused on their King rather than Shua Xie.

Wanting the soldiers to come forward to catch the girl, suddenly one hand was raised giving the soldier a sign not to. And spontaneously the soldier did not move according to orders.

"Xui Sukong, do you know how shameful these people in your kingdom are?" shua Xie asked sharply with a cold look.

Xui Sukong lowered his head, he was very embarrassed to answer Shua Xie's question. The middle-aged man knelt down with one hand touching the floor, quietly he replied, "Hamba is wrong in running the kingdom. Punish the servant for the fault of the servant."

It was astonished that everyone heard Xui Sukong's words that they never expected to come out of their King's mouth, in contrast to Sakura and the 3 men beside her they looked calm while bowing their heads. Do the same as their king.

Shua Xie laughed out loud in his heart, to be honest he could not bear to say such a harsh thing to Xui Sukong who should not have to bear the blame, moreover Xui Sukong was older than him. But it's a little funny to be able to make everyone go awry because of him, that's the main point he wants to show.

"Who is that girl? Why did the King bow down and even kneel before him. Not only that the King also looked like a slave who had just made a mistake in the eyes of his Master. What the hell is this?"

"Where are my eyes blind, or is it reality? Our king kneels before a girl who doesn't even have etiquette?"

"Has the King been defeated by this girl? But how is it possible? When they fought, and it was also impossible for the King to lose to him, everyone knew the King was at the highest stage among the other Kings in the continent. I'm sure even that girl hasn't reached the stage of the Golden General."

Shua Xie descended from the throne gracefully towards the place where Xui Sukong was kneeling, with Shua Xie's slow steps circling Xui Sukong with a very cold facial expression making anyone goosebumps to see him. It will even appear in their minds.

Is this the aura of a leader?

After circling Xui Sukong 3 times, Shua Xie stopped right beside Xui. In a very slow voice, Shua Xie said something to Xui Sukong to make Xui Sukong imprisoned in shock, seeing Xui Sukong's reaction so shocked everyone put on a curious face.

What the girl said made King Xui Sukong suddenly surprised.

Xui Sukong immediately stood up after he was startled, loudly calling out Xui Lang's name made his nephew imprisoned in shock instantly. With a bad look Xui Lang bit his lower lip, while recalling who the girl was to make his Uncle unable to fight him. Xui Lang instantly twisted his brain, looking for a reason how he could survive his Uncle's rampage seeing his Uncle being so obedient towards Shua Xie, signaling he would no longer be safe.

"Xui Lang!!!" Once again a loud screaming voice called out. Surprised by everyone because Xui Sukong's voice was huge with a snapping tone, of course everyone knew that Xui Sukong was angry. But no one knew what made Xui Sukong so angry.

It could be said that this was the first time they had seen this angry Xui Sukong, the one they had seen from Xui Sukong was only friendly and smiling. Moreover they never saw Xui Sukong so angry, even if angry Xui Sukong just acted cold and secluded himself.

Xui Lang immediately rushed over to his Uncle despite being very reluctant to do so. Who the hell wants to come forward to face the wrath of the mighty King? Of course there wasn't, even though Xui Lang knew his Uncle was a soft-hearted person, but after hearing that loud shout. Xui Lang felt like he was facing a lion ready to be devoured at any moment.

Shua Xie smiled sweetly at Xui Lang as the boy was already standing beside Xui Sukong with his face lowered.

"You know what your mistake was?" xui Sukong asked slowly but still a threatening impression.

Xui Lang grew increasingly nervous in the face of the situation, with a lamented tongue he replied, "Sa-I admit wrong to have made Big Miss angry. I-I'm ready to accept the punishment!"

"It's good that you're self-conscious! Now you're per-"

Not having time to continue his words, Shua Xie immediately raised a voice interrupting Xui Sukong's words.

"Don't be too hard, he's just a kid. It's not wrong if he doesn't know me. It's just that I want this boy Xui Lang to be my servant for three days, until the election match of the future disciples of the Lightning sect."

Xui Sukong glanced towards Shua Xie, Wanting to speak yet no one came out. Feeling that his words would not be understood by Shua Xie considering that Shua Xie had a fairly bad temper, Xui Sukong undoes his intentions.

On the other hand Xui Lang wanted to scream loudly at Shua Xie, which was true that he had been a servant for 3 days, wouldn't it be embarrassing for a prince like him. But whatever the power, rejecting the punishment from Shua Xie is tantamount to making him near death.

Shua Xie looked towards Xui Sukong, "Tell them all, who am I? I'm sure they were very curious as to why their King was so submissive in the presence of a girl like me," Shua Xie said sarcastically to anyone curious about the truth of the current events.

Xui Sukong nodded slowly, then looked at all of his people the same, without a doubt Xui Sukong made a loud voice excitedly as if the edict that had just come out of Shua Xie's mouth was a grand order to him.

"Everyone, I hope you consider this girl as Queen. Not the Queen is equal to my wife Sakura. Unless the Queen is in charge of me, our Queen will lead this kingdom to glory for some time. The important rule should not be that anyone dares to oppose the Queen's speech, or even to ignore it. If I find him, you will leave the city of Bora. Believe that! Our queen won't laugh, I swear."

Again everyone can only be silent with a super surprised face, even many of them gaping wide without them knowing. Seeing his King easily demote his position to a girl who may not even have experience organizing her own group. They were doubtful of Xui Sukong's words, who really respected a 16-year-old girl like their Leader? That sounds ridiculous to their ears.

Unlike Shua Xie, he only smiled faintly, not showing a happy or angry look. Shua Xie's facial expression even looked like people did not have a huge burden, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

"But the King why should give the girl as our Leader. Didn't the King realize he had made a new post, Leader over Leader? I'm not sure enough about the girl, she looks young and definitely not experienced in royal arrangements. How can you the Great give the highest position to a girl who does not know the ethics? Enter uninvited and create chaos. This definitely cannot be said to be a coincidence, tell us the strong reason that requires us to submit to it?" ask an elder man who is one of the ministers in the kingdom of Bora.

The starry night accompanied the commotion of human activities, adding the impression of a real life. Under the radiance of the first moonlight a noble's kerata drove at a moderate speed, when it had already reached the front of the palace gate, many soldiers and the royal high-ranking welcomed it.

From the inside of the square came a beautiful sweet girl dressed gracefully, the girl looked the same age as Shua Xie, but still her beauty was not on par with Shua Xie. The girl has a unique eye color, making anyone would think how can a girl as sweet as she has beautiful eyes bright brownish orange. Maybe some people will guess the color of the girl's eyes is orange, but there is also the opposite guessing bright brownish.

The girl looked out, she could see that the one who welcomed her arrival was General Xiaotian and a few bodyguards, the girl frowned with a slightly displeased look on her face. She slightly hoped that she would be welcomed Xui Cuisha son of Cen Hui.

"Uncle Xiaotian, where's Sha gege? Why isn't he here? Did something happen to her?" asked the girl gently but impressed pressing.

Xiaotian smiled awkwardly, it was hard to say but had to convey the fact that the Xui noble family was being re-renovated by Shua Xie. Since the events of Shua Xie was appointed as their Leader, Shua Xie made many changes to royal regulations. Not even reluctant Shua Xie expelled some people who he thought deserved to be expelled.

"Princess Lu Tianyu, sorry for my leniency. But I can't answer in detail, in short the Xui family is getting a bit of family trouble. I hope Princess Lu Tianyu can understand, you can ask later with Prince Xui Cuisha," Xiaotian replied cautiously fearing offending this young girl before him. Because he knew this girl had a temperament not too bad from Xui Lang.

Lu Tianyu was Xui Cuisha's fiancee who had only been betrothed for a few months. Coincidentally the matchmaking took place when Lu Tianyu was attending a celebration in the kingdom of Bora with his Father and Mother. Lu Tianyu also had the title not much different from Xui Cuisha, she was the only Princess of King Lu Tangwen of the Star kingdom. The famous kingdom has the second highest position among the 5 kingdoms in the eastern mainland. At least above the rank of the Bora kingdom.

Because Lu Tianyu was very interested in the good looks and kindness of Xui Cuisha, he asked his father to be redacted with the man of his dreams. Maybe this sounds a little silly, usually men who will propose to girls but this is exactly the opposite. Since the Star Kingdom had the position of a kingdom one level higher than the Bora kingdom, inevitably Xui Sukong could only accept that there would be no unwanted conflict. Xui Sukong knew clearly Princess Lu Tianyu was very famous among the noblewomen as the most spoiled Princess and liked to act arbitrarily.

Lu Tianyu made his lips round at Xiaotian's reply, he quickly retorted, "Xiaotian, please bring my things. I'll go to Xui's family myself and greet them all at once."

"But."

"But?" Lu Tianyu repeated Xiaotian's words with a puzzled face.

"No-No Princess. But I suggest, Princess should not interfere with Xui's big family reunion."

Lu Tianyu's brows linked, "What do you mean to interrupt? So I mean this is a bully? Don't you remember I'm also going to be part of the Xui family? Where's where I'm gonna bother them?"

Xiaotian went awry, forbidding any wrong letting to be more wrong, given Shua Xie's orders not to let anyone into the room. But banning Lu Tianyu was tantamount to igniting an increasingly larger fire, with Lu Tianyu's grumpy and arbitrary nature where Xiaotian could possibly stop him. Plus the standing of Lu Tianyu's family was extremely high-viewed.

"I'll go to them, I'm sure they won't get mad."

Shua Xie walked hand in hand with the 3 men nearby, Chen Xui, Xui Lang and Xui Cuisha. The three of them followed Shua Xie towards the royal Cultivator training ground that was behind the kingdom. This was as a punishment from them for acting like royalty that shouldn't exist, especially Xui Lang. But Shua Xie was angrier at Chen Xui and Xui Cuisha, as the older princes of Xui Lang should have been able to stop Xui Lang's behavior, but in fact they were more busy with their respective affairs.

"Do you guys, the break-up of the family can make the Xui family crumble and even disappear from the world" Shua Xie murmured softly without turning to the 3 young men.

"Don't know," they answered in unison, perhaps reluctant to answer for fear of Shua Xie's anger as in the family room earlier.

"Heh, you boy," Shua Xie grunted softly but he continued, "You guys should know. I live alone, I don't have a whole family like you. In fact, my family was all wiped out just because of a lack of attention from others. The jealousy, selfishness, and anger ignited their hearts to act rebellious. I just don't want the Xui family to experience the same."

The three young men were a little surprised to hear it but not a single one dared to retaliate.

"Oh, where's this girl from?" shua Xie asked with a faint smile about the appearance of a sweet girl who was not much different from her age. In fact, the girl came to Shua Xie with an angry face, clearly not accepting the sight of Xui Cuisha walking hand in hand with her. Even though there was still Xui Lang san Chen Xui near the two of them, but seeing how beautiful Shua Xie even though his current appearance is like a man but does not rule out the possibility of natural beauty is still clearly visible.

Lu Tianyu looked at Shua Xie furiously, then he raised his hand about to slap Shua Xie's face, but he did not expect that it would be intercepted by Shua Xie himself.

Shua Xie who was previously smiling now put on a cold look, he did not understand why this foreign girl suddenly appeared and wanted to slap him? Shua Xie remembered that he had never met this girl before him much less to the point of offending him.

"Little number, if you want to play hands make sure your strength is greater than the opponent. And make sure also not to look for trouble with me," Shua Xie said coldly as he brushed aside Lu Tianyu's hand.

"You! How dare!? Base ******!"
