...traitor?!
Xi Xue and BÃng Huo were so shocked that they almost bit their tongue.
"B-big sis? Traitor? What happened in the palace?" Xi Xue broke in a cold sweat as the five guards surrounded him. Even though the people were only guards, each of them was genuine dragons!
"Ah, sorry, Xi Xue. I think his majesty is angry at you." Mian Xiang gave up out of the blue as she walked to the gate with the others.
"Good luck, Xi Xue!"
"Donât die!"
"I pray you can stand a blow from his majesty."
The other sacred beasts laughed as they leisurely entered the palace gate without Xi Xue. Even BÃng Huo was dragged by the beasts, leaving the vampire alone.
"Ahâ my husband. He..." BÃng Huo panicked. She tried to approach Xi Xue, but Mian Xiang held her back.
"Donât go there. The guards will escort Xi Xue. You donât need to be involved." Mian Xiang pulled BÃng Huo and happily marched to the palace.
"But he is caught! And whatâs with this traitor thing? Will my husband be alright?" BÃng Huo couldnât leave, but she also didnât want to stay still. The girl speeded up to see Mian Xiang, hoping that the woman could help her.
In the first place, why are these people so calm when Xue Xue is caught?! Isnât it a big deal??
"I told you, donât worry. His majesty often did this to the sacred beasts who go against his command." Mian Xiang shrugged.
Long Ye SÃ, that rascal is so possessive over us, the only traces left by his mother. No wonder he will always make sure we stay in his eyesight.
Mian Xiang didnât say this out loud. The woman just continuously patted BÃng Huoâs shoulder, trying to calm her down.
On the other hand, Xi Xue was dragged to the palace with his hands tied behind his back.
"Ah, broooo, can you release me? I brought many gifts from the lower realm, you know??" Xi Xue wailed like a child toward the five guards. Since he often left the palace, he was friendly with a lot of guards and soldiers.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
These dragons also took Xi Xue as one of their own, not treating him lower just because heâs a sacred beast.
The guards with appearance older than Xi Xue started to speak one by one, responding to Xi Xueâs plea.
"Yo, Xiao Xue. How many times have you run away from the palace, hm?"
"Brother Xue, you know that his majesty cherishes you guys a lot, right?"
"Ckckck. Why would you run away without telling his majesty? Heâs furious, you know?"
"Yes, yes. Itâs already lucky that his majesty didnât send troops to find you."
The five guards kicked Xi Xue gently or lightly hit his head. Despite being a vampire with age over 100, he was treated like a troublemaker kid in this kingdom.
Yes, Xi Xue is famous among the palace residents and the guards. Even the citizens around the palace know that Xi Xue is the number one troublemaker of the emperorâs 9 guardians
9 guardians? Yes, those sacred beasts left by Li Shi Ying was called the 9 guardians, the closest subordinate to the royal family.
The nine beasts of all types and races gathered in the palace and would assist the young emperor, filling the lacking spot in governing the kingdom.
There was Mao Mao, the panda as the prime minister. There was Jiu Wei, the nine tail fox, who had passed away but recently came back in a different body. He worked as an advisor.
There was Jiu Weiâs wife, the white tiger, Baihu Sei. Sheâs the head maid of the palace and ruled over the palaceâs administration.
Haà Yao, the Kraken and his wife, the mermaid fairy, was the accountant of the palace. Rumours said that he would be the finance minister in no time.
Qi Tou, the seven-headed snake, was appointed to govern the kingdomâs biggest academy. He became the headmaster just recently.
Mian Xiang, the Sphinx and her Gryphon husband, Ge Lifen, both of them were generals of the kingdomâs army.
Xi Xue was a part of the scout team just like Di Yu. They would travel to other countries or realms to get information or to be spies. But since there was no command up to now, Xi Xue always ran away to play.
The vampire was the young emperorâs biggest concern.
"We are here." The guards spoke as they stopped in front of the audience hall. The hall was used to receive guests from another country, and as if he was waiting, the emperor already sat on the throne.
Xi Xue instantly gulped as the door opened with a creaking sound. His friends in front of him entered the hall with bright smiles, but he was trembling.
Damn it. The last time I ran away, his majesty spanked me in front of the officials and nobles. I was humiliated so much that I ran away again! Now...what will he do?
Xi Xue felt a chill behind his neck.
Now he came back with a wife...wouldnât that be more dangerous?
Xi Xue wanted to run away even more.

"This..." BÃng Huoâs heart almost leapt from her chest as she entered the grandiose hall. The hall adapted the western style, so it was the first time she saw it: white marbles floor, grey granite wall and cream-coloured ceiling.
The hall looked like a fairytale castle.
But what shocked BÃng Huo, even more, was the presence of a young man sitting on a golden throne with red burgundy seating.
