The days passed quietly.
Master would always teach me how to refine myself while grumbling that those bad man were idiots for some reason.
Although I agree, whenever I asked why he'd say some really complicated words.
The training was the only moment when I felt pain, but besides that it was always fun. I hope we can stay longer like this.
…
Changing from supreme ball of cuteness to maniac station.
…
As I stood there, watching the little girl enveloping herself in an abyss like black, the nausea hit me again.
No matter how much I ignored and resisted, there was always this feeling on the back of my mind telling me I'd be eaten by the coldness.
-Focus Na Lian, if you space out now I will have to add 700 more to the amount in our daily training!
-711… 704… 697…
You freaking sadic of a bastard!
-I know how it looks, but I really didn't invent this technique. I will even do 300 more seconds on my end. Endure it.
As the blood fell from my nose in droplets I kept healing myself. Each moment was hell and it felt like an eternity. If not for the obvious improvements, little Rong experiencing something much worse than physical pain and this idiot being beaten till his bones pop out just so they can be toyed with…
Is it really healthy to let a child watch this?
-This fEarrrr… this TERROR… MINE! ALL MINE!... A sssoul like thisss… It's safe this way, come!
The blows got stronger again and I coughed blood. It was very little compared to what I assumed was the blood on the ground, but every wound made it harder to concentrate.
The hair sticking to my head because of the blood and sweat did not help with the discomfort, but neither did the actual array keeping me alive.
I don't know who had the brilliant idea of making an array that can cage a soul and divine perception inside one's body, but I sure as hell want to punch him.
-It was actually a worried father trying to save his daughter. I touching story. We're reading it later today. Really, to think the other only person that likes books would be that brat…
I hate story time as well!
-C'mon, even if you're embarrassed to learn, think of the children that will come. It will be you reading for then one day. Each of those little eyes filled with innocence and hope, their praise for the beautiful big sister with eloquent words, how they will be inspired to learn, how their futures will be brighter, how many of then will be teachers and keep this chain going forward. Is a little embarrassment going to stop you from that?
-I hate you.
-Even letting go of the soul form, I knew I choose the right woman for the job. At this rate you will be the most powerful healer ever.
-Shut it.
…
After the morning torture ended, everyone had lunch. As normal, everyone prayed before eating, even though I again had to remember little Jing.
-You already look like a strict mother lecturing your children right now, when your uniform gets done them… Said Min Qiu before being hit in the forehead by a little stone.
-Don't talk during the meals.
-That! Another thing from this culture I prohibit in my orphanage! How can a true family not share their thoughts when together! He screamed back with indignation in his eyes. Why does he actually have arguments for these kinds of things?
-Does anyone want to talk about their day? Rong? That's why I love you, little one.
-I actually wanted to ask who is that pretty miss that got out of the array you train in and why she is eating with us while making a mean face and crying.
-See?! That's the important type of thing we talk about during meals, I would never remember to introduce Bibi if someone didn't ask. He said with a proud face. -Bibi, introduce yourself to the children. Remember what we talked about.
-I am Bibi, a demon. Said the purple haired woman who suddenly had an even more lovely face, black sclera and horns that went backwards. Besides that she looked like any human.
Gang started choking, got up and started pointing between the demon and Bibi. Jing's ears perked up and he tried to get to her through the table, but I stopped him. Heng hugged Jia and prepared to get away. Rong just nodded and continued to eat her fish.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
-As I was saying, I am a demon, a fire spitting succubus to be exact. After an unfortunate encounter I was sealed inside a world prison array and master Min Qiu offered me a contract so I'd get out and serve him till his death. For now I shall be his secretary. She said it all with a business face before getting to devour her bowl of food, then notice she has finished it and look at Aki with puppy eyes.
-You know, I don't really care for you being a demon, that's the reason you're even eating and using my second knife and fork set I had specially made for myself, go ahead and ask the servant for more.
For a moment both Gang and her gapped at that, then she had a glint of evil in her eyes that I'd seen many times in him, but then something must have gone in her head, because that disappeared and she gently asked the servant for another bowl.
-Good. If you had fallen for something so simple them I'd have turned you into my lab rat and killed you off after some time. Please take notice that I know how to obliterate souls.
He said that and everyone went quiet. Rong was still eating and Jing was actually using signals to ask for food as well, but I…
-She's a demon. Remember they are all prone to chaos and evil ideas. They must be dealt with caution, but if proven to be more than mindless beast, then they must be treated as beings worth the same respect as a normal person. That means that as long as she is good, sister Bibi is equal in position to sister Na Lian. Before either of you two raise any complaints, remember that also means she will be training with us and will be demoted if she can't keep up.
If it's like that, then I guess there won't be a problem.
...
-Always had high high hopes!
-He is finally stopping…
-Now, this one's called seven nations army!
-Nooooooooooo…
-"You get used to it."
…
After a highly secret weapon training session, everyone had already forgotten the new arrival was a demon and just considered her as a new comrade in suffering.
Little Rong was even doing braids in her hair, after Aki teached her how to by doing it at said demon first.
-A little less strength and… done. My cute disciple is such a talent, haha!
-Wretched demon, are you done playing around?
-What is it Gang, ya need something?
-Not you, idiot! The succubus!
-Uh, me? You want a blow job or something, kid?
-For fuck’s sake, what's wrong with this place?! No, I want to challenge you to a duel!.
-Oi, I know that right now I am only rank 2, but is that brat ok in the head? He's only just about halfway through the first rank?
-Of course he is not, but you should accept the duel. It's good to put sense in arrogant brats early on. Said Aki with a mischievous smile.
-Yeah, sure. Is there an arena around here or something? Said the uninterested succubus.
-Nah, why do you think I keep repairing the training grounds? It's multi purpose. A slate of sand. The possibilities are limitless.
…
At the same time, in a far, far away place.
-We should be able to see the village in a couple of minutes. Said a woman with a serious and beautiful face, people would call her a cold beauty wherever she went.
-Big sister, are you sure you want to try this? Those monsters can hardly think, much less… Said her cute junior.
-It's a personal order from the queen, don't you dare think of not accomplishing it! The cold beauty immediately got angry and the ice cold anger in her tone could be felt before heard. Again, this is in the literal sense, she is an ice mage of high talent.
-Ma'an, we're here. Said the leading scout.
-Good, I shall activate the communication artifact and contact her majesty, everyone stay quiet. *kacha*
"And that's how you activate the flaming pillars of ten thousand deaths. I know the name isn't original, or good at all, but if someone asks you about it when you hear something like this, you must use your angel like face to say it is a really amazing and fitting name. What floating ball? Ohhhhh, so this is what a butt dial is like. Hello, which squadron are you from? Before you ask, this is Jiahao Min Qiu, the summoned hero and current leader of the monster diplomacy efforts, appointed by the queen herself."
-Eh, yes, this is embasador Feng An Chen, from the first team in the diplomacy mission. We have reached the goblin village assigned to us and await further instructions. She was a little taken aback by the start, but realized that's not something you should be commenting with your superior and ignored it.
"First of all, have you been detected?"
-No sir.
"Good, then transmit my voice or repeat after me so your teammates hear what I have to say." He gave a little pause so she could do it and started talking again "I want you guys to see if it's possible to infiltrate into the village and find out who is the strongest guy in there. If you can invade and beat him, then do so fast and overwhelmingly. If you're unable to stealthily enter the village, then attract some beasts to it and wait until the warrior reach them. The stronger the beasts the better, but be sure you can defeat it. When the goblin’s morale starts turning low or they see the beast of much higher strength, you guys come in and help. No matter what, don't attack or look arrogantly towards the goblins, but be sure to display the strength and fiber of soldiers of our country. The one who disobeys this part, I have permission to torture for a whole week before publicly executing them in the capital's square. Any questions?
Aki suddenly lost the playfulness in his voice he had while talking to little Rong and had it exchanged with pure, icy bloodlust.
Although the ambassador knew this man to be weaker than her, she did not believe she could escape his ire. An Chen gritted her teeth when she caught herself thinking so.
-Sir, if I may, what if none of that works? Asked the junior sister from before.
"Than you're either incompetent or unfortunate. If you can't persuade this village within a week, then you have to destroy it one way or another within the next month. In this case, each one of you will put down a report of the happenings on my table. No remains. If one of you is found to have "misinterpreted" my orders, the punishment mentioned before will be executed. If more than one is lying or someone lies to cover the other, I will have your families incur the fine for military obstruction. Be happy that slavery is being banished. Now, if any of you has doubts about me or this mission, please remember, whoever comes out clean will receive a hefty compensation and whoever succeeds will be showered in honors, together with a direct gift from the crown for your efforts in helping the kingdom reaching new heights. As the leading team in this expedition I expect nothing short of a resounding success from you all. Make sure to have them feel the same you feel right now, because even if they want to revolt later, it will be too late. If there is any developments, call me.
By the end of his orders, everyone listening was either outraged and impressed or scared and impressed.
Men are selfish, scared creatures, when they see a barking dog that bothers them, they kick it, but if someone is watching, they need to make sure to kick that person as well.
When said person is the owner of the dog and also way above you, they just stare at the dog with envy, anger and hatred.
