Damn. She's so right.
Ever since I arrived here, the hope of me winning the bride selection test and getting to meet this legendary lord Vagamound had already been smothered out. Was it an inferiority complex? Or a belief that I won't be able to outmatch the girls here? Or that I believe I had passed through the first and second rounds all due to luck and not by my hard work.
I lowered my head, a wry smile forming across my lips.
"Don't worry." Xinger extended her palm and placed it on my shoulder. "I'll practice with you."
"Really?" My eyes brightened as if I had seen my savior. I was instantly tear-filled. "Thank you so much. Thanks so much, Xinger. You don't know… I…"
Seeing that I was about to cry, Xinger hurriedly patted me on the shoulder. "I know. I understand how bad you must have felt. That's why I'm here to help you out. However, I left my wooden sword back in my room. So--"
"I will get it." I suddenly cut in before she could finish her sentence. "I will go to your room and fetch your sword for you." Without waiting for her reply, I sprinted forward.
"Du-Du-du. Hmm, hmm." I began to hum my favorite musical tone as I happily ran forward.
Xinger is such a dear. She is nice, intelligent, and even beautiful. With her all-rounded character, she deserves to be the championship of the bride selection.
Reaching halfway of the road, an earsplitting scream of a female suddenly stabs into my ears.
"Ahhh! A Pervert! There's a pervert running off. Somebody help!"
The place where the voice was hailing from seemed closer to me. Just as I turned around my head, looking sideways, I saw a male figure from afar trying to run away.
'Sh*t. That must be the perpetrator.'
Instantly forgetting about my current task, I dashed over toward the fleeing man, swiftly pounced on him, and pinned him to the ground.
"Ah! Who the hell are you?" The man didn't expect that someone would ambush him from behind. "Let me go. Let go of me. I said, released me at this moment." He began to yell.
"Go you say? You fucking pervert!" I headbutt him on the head.
"Aww." Two painful cries resounded at the same time.
Hiss. A light sheen of cold sweat burst out of my body from the terrible pain that assaulted my forehead.
Damm. How can I forget that I still have a huge bruise on my forehead? Gosh, I'm so stupid.
"You… You dare hit." The man on the ground seems to have recovered from the pain, his eyes filled with a look of bewilderment.
I was too engrossed in the pain coursing through my head to notice his expression. The voice of the screaming lady became nearer.
"Pervert! Catch the pervert!" Her figure finally appeared from the corner. I recognized her instantly.
She was one of the maidens brought from the mortal realm. Her hair and clothes appeared wet, seeming that she had put them on in a hurry after stepping out of a bath.
When she saw me and the man pinned below me, her body trembled in fear as she cried out. "He… he was peeping at me while having my bath. My innocence is gone. What am I going to do? What if the legendary lord kills me once he finds out that I've lost my innocence."
Her reaction seemed extreme, but I understood where she was coming from. This is a world where the chastity of a girl is so important. It's no wonder her emotions were totally unstable.
"I didn't. I didn't peep at you. I really didn't see anything. Can you get off me now?"
"Still arguing?" I shifted my attention back to the man below me.
His face looks kind of familiar, but who cares about that? He's just a pervert who was caught peeping at a bathing girl.
Thinking of him doing such a disgusting act, my expression became gloomy. "Since you like looking at that kind of stuff so much, why don't you eat my fist along with it." A devilish smile emerged on my lips.
"You… Stop it. I said, released me!"
'Pah! Pah!' The sound of flesh hitting the skin was loud enough for one to hear.
"How long have you been stalking her?" My fist rained down continuously on him as I questioned.
"Ahh. Stop hitting… My face… Ahh!"
"Don't want to talk. I'm going to pummel you to death, you f*cking pervert."
"No, I'm not. Not my nose… Ah! Stop hitting my nose… Ahh."
I punched harder at his nose. But no matter how hard I hit his face, no injuries were made on his skin.
Strange.
Is he wearing bulletproof skin over his face? How come I can't injure him? Is his skin that thick? I stoked his face, wanting to discover what was wrong with it.
However, his scream, almost like a pig being butchered pierced through my ear.
"Shut up your stinky mouth and let me see what kind of magic you've washed over your face." I began to fumble around his face.
"Ah! Save me. There's a pervert. There's a pervert assaulting an innocent man in public."
"Shut up. All of your families are perverts."
"Let me go, you little brat." He began to struggle under my hold.
"Brat?" I chuckled. "Looks like I've become so weak that anyone can talk down on me." I spat at the side, an evil grin displaying on my face.
"You… What are you up to?" The person below trembled in fear seeing the malicious grin on my face.
"To show you what it means to be a brat. Yahh!" I waved my fist across the air, smashing him in the face.
"Ahh!… Help me… Save me… There's a crazy woman here." Even if his skin was like a bulletproof vest, he could still feel pain from being hit.
"Crazy. Ha-ha-ha. Let me show you what it is to be a crazy person."
"How dare you!" Such a deep commanding voice.
My whole actions suddenly froze in mid-air like some sort of paused drama. I could feel my heartbeat thumping, almost all the cells in my body screaming out of fear.
That familiar voice. It's him. It's really him!
