Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying followed closely behind the black-robed men, deliberately slowing down when they weren’t paying attention.
After they had moved far away, she turned around and returned to the location where the children were thrown.
“Ah! No, don’t come over, don’t come over!”
“Help! Help…”
As soon as Su Ying returned, she saw that the abandoned children had been surrounded by wild beasts.
The children who were still conscious screamed for help in horror, but they didn’t know that even if they shouted until their throats were sore, those people wouldn’t come to save them.
Su Ying’s eyes narrowed. She immediately dashed forward and punched the face of the cheetah that was about to pounce on the child.
Roar!
The cheetah let out a furious roar and wanted to retaliate, but when it got close and smelled Su Ying’s scent, it immediately shrank back and obediently retreated step by step.
When the other wild beasts saw this, they also retreated, not daring to take another step closer.
“Get lost.”
The beasts shuddered and turned around before sprinting off.
Su Ying turned back and her eyes met the terrified gazes of the children. Even though she had just saved them, they didn’t dare to go close to her.
Su Ying knew that it was her black robe that had frightened them.
She didn’t have time to explain too much. She knocked out the children who were still conscious and put them into her interspatial store. Then, she returned to the spot where she was before.
The sharp whistle rang out again, and the afternoon training began, but those people didn’t even have anything to eat.
The huge consumption of physical energy caused more people to collapse, but even so, there was no sign of the training coming to a stop.
When she saw that the sky was about to turn dark, Su Ying wondered how much longer they would be training. Suddenly, she heard someone shout, “Kneel down. Her Majesty the Empress has arrived.”
Before he could finish his sentence, the black-robed men beside Su Ying prostrated themselves on the ground.
Su Ying followed suit and prostrated herself. The moment she got down, she saw a group of people slowly walking over.
The leaders were all red-robed men, and behind them was a resplendent horse carriage. The gems on the horse carriage shone with a dazzling golden light under the setting sun.
Her Majesty the Empress? Su Ying raised her eyes slightly. It never occurred to her that the ruler of the Sky Alpha Cult could be a woman.
Su Ying raised her eyes. Suddenly, the wheels stopped in front of her.
Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched, and she slowly held her breath.
After the horse carriage stopped, a red-robed man went forward and knelt on the ground. Not long after that, a pair of shoes inlaid with pearls appeared in front of everyone, followed by a rich overpowering fragrance.
Su Ying raised her eyes and saw a woman with her hair piled up high and a golden crown on her head. She had an arrogant expression on her face, and the corners of her eyes were filled with disdain as she stepped out of the horse carriage.
Wei Ji glanced scornfully at the people on the ground from the corner of her eyes. “Raise your heads.”
The people kneeling on the ground raised their heads one after another. Just as Su Ying was about to raise her head as well, she noticed that the men in black were still kneeling with their heads lowered. Only then did she realize that this woman was talking to the people training on the field.
Wei Ji’s gaze quickly swept across the faces of those people and finally landed on a fair and delicate face.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at the other party. “That one then.
Today, 1 like delicate and pretty ones.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
She then picked two more people from the crowd and turned around to return to the horse carriage with satisfaction.
Root!
At this moment, someone in the silent crowd suddenly farted.
Wei Ji, who was about to get into the carriage, frowned. “Who is it? Who dares to do such an indecent thing in front of me?”
In the crowd, a child about five or six years old was trembling in fear.
Wei Ji’s gaze quickly swept across those people. “Be good. Stand out and admit it yourself. Otherwise, your Empress will be angry.” As she spoke, she placed her index finger on her lips and chewed on it. She even fluttered her eyelashes. Her action was really repulsive.
“If you don’t admit it, then no one can eat tonight!” Wei Ji’s tone suddenly changed, and it instantly made people’s hair stand on end.
“It’s… it’s him, Your Majesty. It’s him. He farted!” Suddenly, a child around ten years of age pointed at the boy who farted earlier.
The boy who was identified trembled even more violently.
“Your Majesty, please spare my life. 1 won’t dare to do it again. I won’t dare to do it again.”
Wei Ji looked at the child who was begging for mercy and frowned slightly. She pursed her lips. “If we block it with a wooden stick, it won’t happen again?”
“Your Majesty is wise,” said the red-robed man who went forward earlier.
“Hahahahaha! It’s fun, it’s fun. Let’s do it then.”
The black-robed man got up, picked up a wooden stick as thick as an arm, and walked toward that child.
That child was so scared that his face turned pale and he even forgot to beg for mercy.
Wei Ji had already gotten into the horse carriage and left. The young men she had just picked out were also led out by the black-robed men and they left with the entourage.
The black-robed man walked up to the child and kicked him to the ground. Then, he yanked off the child’s pants and got ready to stab down ruthlessly with the wooden stick in his hand.
However, just as the wooden stick in the black-robed man’s hand was about to stab into the child’s body, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand and the stick in his hand dropped down.
“Argh!”
The black-robed man fell to the ground in pain.
Su Ying put away the laser gun in her hand and walked forward to pick the child up from the ground. “Useless.” After saying that, she walked towards the tunnel behind her without looking back.
When the other black-robed men saw this, they did not show any strange expressions on their faces. They continued to do what they had not finished just now as if they were used to such occurrences.
“Please let me go, please let me go. Boo hoo hoo…” The child came back to his senses as soon as he saw Su Ying enter the tunnel. He was no longer a newcomer and knew what it meant to enter this tunnel.
Su Ying didn’t say a word but carried him forward until they were out of the tunnel. Only then did she use an appropriate amount of knockout powder on him and put him into her interspatial store.
By the time Su Ying emerged from the tunnel, the sky had already turned completely dark. The people on the field had also dispersed, and there wasn’t even a single person left on the empty field.
Su Ying wasn’t in a hurry to look for the empress. She was now more curious about the people who were undergoing training.
She looked around and found a big door at the side of the field. That should be the exit of the training ground.
Su Ying walked to the big door, pushed it open, and walked in.
There were rows of houses beyond the door, and the people who had just undergone training were lined up neatly outside the doors of the houses, waiting for the black-robed men to distribute food.
“Those who performed well today will get to eat meat. Those who didn’t perform well will get nothing.”
The black-robed man began to distribute the food in his hands. One potato, one mixed-grain steamed bun, and a fist-sized piece of dried meat for those who purportedly performed well. It was downright pitiful.
However, to those children, they looked like they had received a treasure. After they received the food, they did not wolf it down hungrily. Instead, they returned to their positions and stood properly. Only when the black-robed man said that they could eat did they… start eating elegantly.
The black-robed man held a whip and paced back and forth among them. Whoever ate ungracefully and was not elegant enough would be whipped by him..
