Shock reverberated through the crowd. The voice sounded soft and tender, yet the words uttered were…
Completely incomprehensible!
Standing on the raised platform, General Li, his face stricken with anxiety, heard the sound. His eyes instantly lit up, and went down on one knee. The other soldiers, including those on horses who dismounted immediately, knelt down as well.
Fang Zhengzhi wondered why this voice had an air of familiarity to them.
An emerald green sedan lifted by some soldiers arrived the bottom of the stage. With unparalleled agility, a figure leapt out from the sedan and landed softly on the stage.
A pretty girl with her hands placed behind her back, dressed in a silk skirt appeared on stage. Her hair was decorated with a single jade green flower and wore a pair of gold-threaded red shoes. It was Lolita!
Her elegant, defined features coupled with the air of strength that seemed to radiate from each and every part of her instantly flashed in front of the eyes of the stunned villagers.
Lolita ”Chi Guyan” observed the villagers at the bottom of the stage with a calm demeanor. Despite her young age of five years, she gave off a subtle, yet unmistakable aura of perfection.
”Huh? What is Lolita doing here?” Fang Zhengzhi’s wondered, a growing sense of unease built up inside him.
”Greetings Missus!”
”Greetings Missus!”
General Li and the soldiers dressed in shining armour around him shouted in unison upon seeing Lolita appear on the stage.
”Village Chief Meng Bai of the Southern Mountain Village pays respect to Missus!”
”Oh my God, she is the daughter of the Divine Constabulary! The daughter of the Divine Constabulary personally visited our Southern Mountain Village!” The villagers couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
”Missus?! Lolita is the daughter of the Divine Constabulary?” Fang Zhengzhi felt his legs almost give way, almost letting go of the chicken thigh he was holding on to.
Alright…
How can things be so coincidental, how can the Lolita I met at the entrance of the village be the daughter of the Divine Constabulary? Moreover, I even gave her a kick in the butt that sent her falling into the river!
Revenge never ends. Fang Zhengzhi took one look at the azure blue skies, then crouched down and quickly squeezed his way into the crowd.
This is no joking matter. In this world where classism is rife, the arrival of the daughter of the Divine Constabulary required even the usually high-ranking village chief to kneel down. If she wanted to squeeze him to death, it would be even easier than killing an ant.
As such, Fang Zhengzhi promptly decided that retreating is the best strategy.
Hidden among the crowd, Fang Zhengzhi carefully maneuvered through the people, afraid of making any large movements. As he squeezed among the villagers, he began to realise why the Divine Constabulary that eluded the Southern Mountain Village in many years suddenly made a mysterious appearance today.
Preliminary examination? Children’s test?
What a sneaky Lolita, she is obviously using this public preliminary examination to achieve her own personal agenda, to catch me then finally killing me off!
Fang Zhengzhi evidently did not believe that this Divine Constabulary which had never set foot upon the Southern Mountain Village for so many years will coincidentally decide to suddenly host a preliminary examination here. In order to confirm his suspicions, he peeked through the crowd to observe Lolita’s expression.
True to his beliefs, Lolita’s jet-blacked eyes were surreptitiously scanning the crowd from the top of the stage, her eyes darting left, right, front and back as if looking for something.
”I knew it!” Fang Zhengzhi understood everything and instantly crouched back down.
After scanning the entire crowd twice, Lolita’s gaze finally landed upon Meng Jiangshan.
”You claim you can read, that means you are the person who solved the Illustration of All Creation just now?” Lolita’s playful attitude at the village entrance was replaced by an expression of complete tranquility.
