9 Chapter Nine
Chapter nine:
"Protect the Princess!"
The guards who were guarding the hallway ran toward Feng Qi and pointed their weapons at him.
One of the guards slowly backed up and then bent down to check on Meng. Thankfully she was fine, just a bit in shock.
'Feng Qi, my idol for three years, actually attacked me! How do I continue to live after this?!'
Meng couldn't bring herself to get up after suffering so many shocks today. Her mind was slowly starting to crack as things continuously pilled up.
Thinking that Feng Qi had knocked the Princess crazy, the guard released his full killing intent.
"You b*st*rd! How could you hurt the emperor's favorite daughter!"
Once the emperor found out wouldn't all of their heads be separated from their bodies! Raising his sword, the guard intended to take out his anger on Feng Qi.
Feng Qi was rather shocked as well when the princess went flying. He had only meant to scare her into going away, however he didn't understand why the Princess didn't try to block his aura. Last time he fought her she definitely wasn't this fragile.
Unless... did she do it purposely in order to get him killed?
Feng Qi cursed inside when he realized he fell in such an idiotic trap. Ru Gu Meng was disgusted in him there was no way she would do anything in a pedophile nature to him. He glared at the girl curled up on the ground. Hopefully he did knock her into oblivion, then at least his death wouldn't be completely in vain.
Launching his attack, the guard tried to take Feng Qi out in one shot. Now that he completely destroyed the kingdom's perfect princess, even if he died his people wouldn't be able to complain much anymore.
But, Feng Qi was never the type to go down easily. The guards were only level six martial cultivators, which meant they only had a one level difference to Feng Qi. If there were only one of them perhaps he could actually win. However, the two of them combined made it extremely difficult for Feng Qi to stop himself from being sliced into by their swords.
Relying on his chains as weapons, Feng Qi gave his all in blocking their continuous attacks. Sweat drenched his body and he was slowly losing focus as the energy was drained out of him.
Finally one of their attacks got through and sliced his chest leaving a fine bloody line.
Feng Qi was able to take a lot but after getting sliced on his already damaged body he couldn't help releasing a pained gasp. His now dull eyes were full of resilience as he desperately fought off the guards.
Meng was finally brought back to reality when she heard Feng Qi gasping in pain. The one sound alone made her heart twist painfully.
Her Feng Qi was in danger and she was doing nothing about it! Meng forced her aching body to stand up before ducking below the guards to pull Feng Qi into her arms.
At that moment it seemed like the entire room was frozen in shock. The guards didn't dare to continue their attacks with Meng blocking them and slowly backed away.
They didn't know what was going on, but it was clear that the princess didn't want Feng Qi hurt, therefore they shouldn't get involved.
Feng Qi stared in shock at the little girl holding him. He didn't understand why she of all people would protect him from death. After all, he nearly killed her two times in just the last month. Was she perhaps a so called masochist?
