The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 337: Princess Cui

"Firstly, it is very impolite to refuse someone's sincere gesture of hospitality…"

"Secondly… I have to be incognito about this mission…"

"Lastly, I have found what I am looking for, and it will come to us as long as we remain here, and that makes accomplishing my mission not only leisurely, but relaxing as well…" she replied;

"I've overstepped… I am sorry my prin-, I mean young mistress…"

The guard took a step backwards and an apologetic bow…

After confirming her intentions had been passed to the remaining two, The White Robed Lady entered the house with her guards in tow…

When they entered, it was somewhat hot due to the weather, so Min Rou simply flicked her sleeves and four palm sized cyclone floated to the four corners of the living room, and with another flick, a larger one took to the roof at the center of room, hanging down like a chandelier, and instantly, the cool breeze circulated the room creating a make-shift air conditioning…

"How did you do that!?" Kun Lin who also had a Wind Dao gasped in awe;

"I will teach you later, but first, I have to serve a certain someone the chilled cocktail she has so missed…"

Min Rou replied as she ruffled Qing Tan's hair with a smile, receiving an abrupt tight hug as thanks…

Then Kun Lin followed her to help out, whilst everyone else settled in on the sofas in the living room…

"Where is Fei Hong?" Elder Long asked after looking around and not finding Min Hong;

"He is at the Reaper's Lair…" Min Qing replied, but with a slightly down expression;

"What did he do?" Elder Yun was the one who sensed Min Qing's downcast aura;

"Well, he is challenging the inner court 'War God Trials' with the intention of entering the core court, but he would not let me go and watch…" Min Qing replied before giving a helpless, frustrated and resigned sigh…

'So, that is why I didn't meet him here… But I can't go watch the fight either, many people will be there, and I might risk being identified…' The White Robed Lady thought to herself;

"Despite how interesting that would be, I don't want to be spotted by those old goats…"

"I will just let that punk come and give me a detailed description of how it went down…" Elder Long spoke…

"I think I might have a way to help us all with that…"

The White robed lady spoke as she brought out two mirrors before handing one over to the guard who had overstepped her boundaries a while ago;

"This should make us see whatever this is seeing…" She described the function of these mirrors…

The guard took the mirror and signaled the remaining two to stay behind, she still doesn't seem to trust these people in her own opinion…

It was at the same moment that Min Rou and Kun Lin came out with a lot of spirit fruit cocktails, serving a round for the guests first, then the newcomers and finally the eager Qing Tan who almost snatched the cup from Min Rou before guzzling half of the cup before giving a relaxed sigh as she sank deeper into the sofa…

Everything about the cocktail was relaxing, from its chillness in the hot weather, to its sweetness which stayed a long time on one's taste buds, to the pure spiritual energy that refreshed her from the insides out, anyone who had embarked on a long journey especially in a hot weather, would find themselves feeling really sleepy just from the sheer relaxation the cocktail would give them…

Elder Long was the one who tasted it next and he also had no choice but to release an euphoric sigh, then Elder Yun who simply flapped her feathers and got comfortable in front of the bowl…

Little Ming being Little Ming simply jumped into the bowl and swam within the cocktail whilst sucking several mouthfuls herself…

Seeing that their hosts had drank out of it and taking their expressions also into account, the white robed lady was about to take a sip when one of the guards stopped her, took the cup from her and took a sip, waited a bit, and when she found nothing wrong, she gave a relieved sigh, and nodded for her to continue…

The action not only pissed everyone off, but they decided against speaking, but one person obviously couldn't seal her mouth;

"Oi! What is the meaning of that?"

"Are you insinuating that my Aunt Rou or our gorgeous Kun Lin here would poison your drinks?"

"Despite all the kind gestures we have given, which included you getting the ride of your life on my back, you think we would stoop so low to poisoning your drinks if we wanted to kill you all!?" Little Ming was obviously pissed off;

"If I wanted you dead, I would have left you three logs and your princess in a corner of the void I have never been before!"

"Little Ming!" Elder Yun pecked her with her beak within the drink…

The reason why she had done that wasn't because she vented, but it was because she just revealed a secret these ladies didn't know they knew; which is the white robed lady being a princess…

"You will be punished accordingly when we return, and for now till we return, you must sit on the floor all through and must serve as a maid under this roof throughout the same period!"

The white robed lady glared at the guard, but also sent a warning and furious glare at the rest of them, before turning back to their hosts and apologizing;

"I am truly sorry for their repetitive and consecutive impetuous behavior…"

"It seems our clan has failed to teach its members true virtue, and as an apology for that action she has volunteered to take care of all tasks you will assign to her, menial or otherwise…"

"She also feels you might as well use her as a servant, don't you?"

The White Robed Lady asked as she turned her face to glare at the guard once more…

Blanching at the realization that her princess was truly furious at this point, which is something that rarely happens, the guard got her ass on the bare floor as she replied;

"Yes, young mistress…" She said with a permanent guilty bow…

"Good… and you might start referring to me by title, after all, it is no longer a secret under this roof…" She more like commanded rather than suggested;

"You don't have to dish out such harsh punishments to her…" Min Rou was the first to relieve the guard, but the princess objected;

"The punishment she would receive when we return is nothing compared to this…"

"In fact, this seems to be more of a vacation to her than an appropriate punishment…" The princess added;

"Well, you were the source of all this problems, and whilst I can't tell you to sit on the bare floor, because you have no butts, you will have to join her on every task that is assigned to her!" Elder Yun more of commanded Little Ming;

"B-Bu-But…"

"Like she said, you have no butts!"

Elder Long didn't know if that was supposed to be a pun, but it felt like the right thing to say at that point…

"Sorry to ask, but can you tell me where we slipped and gave away our identities?" The Princess asked radiating tremendous politeness…

"Pretty much as soon as we bumped into you… But I will leave it to master to explain how…"

Elder Yun answered before continuing with her cocktail whilst the ladies turned to Elder Long for answer…

Elder Long placed his cup on the center table as he began;

"Firstly, royalty isn't a title; it is in the manner of speech, dressing and for females, the elegance with which they carry themselves, whilst for males, the dominance with which they do everything…"

"Secondly, the wealth… You have a spatial ring that can house a living thing, which is your injured crane in your case…"

"Lastly, having three female guards who are similar in every sense except from looks…"

"Not to add the fact that they are also very strong, and also the confidence you have in yourself that we aren't strong enough to give you a sense of danger, which would either mean you have a very strong and high-tiered artefact or talisman that can ensure your safety anywhere you go, or the name of the power backing you is enough to deter anyone or strike fear into any heart…"

"Thus, it has to be a very strong background, most likely a clan than a sect because your guards allow you lead but still seem to be the one taking care of you which means you don't embark on such journeys often…"

"Thus, the only option left is a clan, and from the strength and potential talent of your line up, a Super Clan to be precise, and I only know of one Super Clan who is female concentrated, has the warrior-like physicality of your guards and addresses every one of its female members by their surname; The Cui Super Clan…"

"The strongest and most elusive Clan in the entire Dogon Empire…"

"It is truly my greatest honor to be graced with your presence Princess Cui."
