Chapter 1422 — Chapter 1422 Princess Xiu

1422 Princess Xiu

The day after Tian Xian got bullied and spoke with her, Xiu Mei sneaked out of the royal palace and made her way to a famous restaurant in the same city, where the bullies that messed with Tian Xian are rumored to frequent.

"Y-Your Royal Highness! What in heaven's name are you doing here by yourself?! Where are your guards?!" The receptionist was scared out of her mind when Xiu Mei walked into the restaurant alone.

Xiu Mei casually dismissively waved her hand and spoke, "Forget about that. I need to know something. Is the Lee Family's young master and his group of troublemakers here right now?"

"Young Master Lee and his friends? Yes, they have been dining on the top floor for the past half hour. If Your Royal Highness is looking for them, I will call them down here for you."

"No, that won't be necessary. I'll go greet them myself since they aren't expecting me."

Without saying anything else, Xiu Mei walked upstairs with the receptionist staring at her back with a nervous gaze.

'I should notify the Xiu Family…' The receptionist had an ominous feeling when he saw Xiu Mei and didn't want to be responsible if anything were to happen to her.

While the receptionist alerted the Xiu Family of Xiu Mei's presence at the restaurant, the person herself casually climbed to the top floor of the restaurant.

At the end of the hall, two guards were standing before a closed room that couldn't contain the loud laughter inside.

"Hahaha! Did you see how that wimp stood there and ate our fists?! I have never seen such a coward before!"

"How did a loser like that become a royal guard for the Xiu Family?! Whoever made that decision must've been blind!"

"Fuck! Just thinking about him makes me want to beat him up some more!"

"We can always give him another visit! Hell, we can even see him after this!"

"Why don't we cut off his fingers so that he'll lose qualifications to even work as a soldier? I bet he won't even fight back!"

"Once Princess Xiu realizes how much of a cowardly bastard that soldier is, she'll definitely stop paying attention to him!"

As Xiu Mei overheard their conversation, her expression immediately darkened, and her steps toward the room hastened.

"Stop right there and iden— Your Royal Highness?! What are you doing here?!" The guards standing watch tried to stop her from approaching the room but instantly gave up when they took a closer look at her beautiful yet terrifying face.

BANG!

Without saying a word to the guards, Xiu Mei kicked down the doors like a barbarian, startling everyone in the room.

"Which bastard dares—?!"

"Fuck! How dare you startle this young master! I'll have your entire family executed—!?!"

The young masters in the room stopped their speech halfway when they saw Xiu Mei standing before the broken door with clenched fists, their faces filled with disbelief and shock, looking like they had just seen a ghost.

"P-Princess Xiu?! What are you doing here?!"

However, these young masters couldn't care less why Xiu Mei was there. They only wanted to know if she had overheard their loud conversation just now. Of course, they had an idea judging by the way she kicked down the doors and her chilling aura.

Xiu Mei was the first to break the silence, speaking in a cold tone, "Damaging my future husband's face is already punishable by death, but to think you would even consider doing something as heinous as robbing him of his future… I'll have you bastards executed immediately!"

Without any warning, Xiu Mei exuded immense killing intent as she jumped to the nearest young master, punching him directly in the face, and sending him flying.

Despite her small and seemingly delicate figure, Xiu Mei possessed the cultivation of a peak Spirit Grandmaster.

The one who received her punch felt his face dent inward before his vision darkened.

"Princess Xiu?! Please calm down! We were only joking!"

The young masters showed zero signs of wanting to fight back. In fact, they were all older than Xiu Mei by several years, but their cultivation was only between peak Spirit Master and mid-level Spirit Grandmaster. None of them were strong enough to defeat her even if they fought without caring about her status.

"Ahh! My fingers are bending backward!" One of the young masters screamed in pain after trying to block Xiu Mei's fist.

Another was struck directly in the mouth, shattering most of his teeth.

"Ahhh! My leg!"

Xiu Mei, who was also known as the Gentle Princess, was no different than a barbarian at this moment, her small and smooth hands stained and dripping with fresh blood.

In just a few minutes, Xiu Mei had brutally crushed 5 young masters without breaking a sweat.

If the guards hadn't stopped her at the very end, she wouldn't have hesitated to act upon her words and executed them on that day.

What transpired at the restaurant was spread throughout the continent like wildfire, shocking every individual who heard it.

The Xiu Family expected Xiu Mei's image and reputation to plummet like a boulder. However, to their surprise, her actions had actually significantly improved her reputation, especially among the citizens within their own city. The troublemakers she had dealt with had caused so much trouble for the people that everybody dreamed of giving them a taste of their own medicine but couldn't, due to obvious reasons.

"Long live Princess Xiu for dealing with those troublemakers!"

"Hahaha! This news is worth a grand celebration!"

"If only they were killed! That would've been even better!"

However, while the citizens celebrated, the families of these troublemakers immediately sought reparation from the Xiu Family, and their friendly relationship that was slowly built over thousands of years vanished in a single day.

These families were not small backgrounds and could threaten even the Xiu Family if they worked together, so it brought no small headache to the Xiu Family.

The Xiu Family immediately tried to repair their relationship, but these families never intended to do so and had always coveted the Xiu Family's power. Now that they had the opportunity and the excuse, they established another faction together in hopes of replacing the Xiu Family.
