Empress
Episode 24 - Origins

Xiao Shi silenced Teng She since last night's incident, even if Teng She asked him, Xiao Shi would just shut up and make everyone around him feel bad as well, while Teng She made it even more unreasonable, her feelings were very unpleasant, this was her first time like that. He was just pacing around in front of Xiao Shi, doing some stupid things to attract his attention, but none of them succeeded. They were in the courtyard of the Xiao Shi residence, there were only Xiao Shi, Teng She, Yuan and Feng Yue. All the servants he had already expelled since last night, Xiao Shi really did not want to be bothered.

The sun was rising to the surface, the weather was getting hotter, and none of the ways managed to get Xiao Shi to speak to Teng She. To be honest he was tired, a legendary dragon asked for the forgiveness of others? Just be right. But if she doesn't do her feelings aren't calm.

Fucking relationship! Why should there be a connection between humans and blood-bound animals like this. Inner Teng She.

Exhausted by all the effort he put in, Teng She chose to drop her katana and lean her body on the tree, hugged her knees and looked towards Xiao Shi, she was already resigned, he was already resigned, this time he would remain silent as long as Xiao Shi did not speak to him.

" Don't put on a face like that, you look like a bum" Xiao Shi said as he continued to focus on reading the book. It made everyone happy, especially Teng She, she immediately jumped up and walked over to Xiao Shi.

" You forgive me?"

Xiao Shi closed his book and sighed. " I'll forgive you if you tell me everything that happened between you and that general"

"All right, I'll tell you"

**Teng She POV**

A long time ago, I was a mischievous and angry little dragon. When I first became fully human, I often fled out of the wild jungle unbeknownst to my father. I like to make a mess in human markets, I steal, cheat, and other things. Until one day I ran too far, I got lost, and I came to a royal camp, the soldiers there drove me away and almost killed me thinking I was a spy sent by their enemy. They said that no matter if it was a child or even a woman, they would finish it for the safety of their country.

I was dragged, and almost died. When the sword was about to be drawn to separate my head and body, a boy came, he said that I was his friend and the soldiers had misunderstood me. After that I was released and the soldiers apologized to me, after that camp delivered a lot of food into my tent, there was only me and the little boy. That little boy is General Chi.

" why did you say I was your friend and saved me" I asked him.

" You don't look dangerous, and it looks like you're lost" she replied.

" Where do you know?"

" I don't know, it's just my guess."

" You're weird" I sneered.

" You should have been honest with me"

" thank you"

" That's all?"

" then?"

The little General Chi patted his eel and walked up to me "You have to pay what I did to you"

" Hm, what do you want?"

" Judian my friend, I don't have any friends here, it's boring"

" friends? " many doubt. How could he be friends with a demon like me.

" Right, how?"

" all right"

" Wait, what's your name" she asked.

" i...... Yu, Feng, my name is Yu Feng"

From then on, I befriended him, staying at his camp along with his father and other warriors until my father found me and picked me up. So far I've been quietly following her, guarding her if she's ever in danger. Until I became your contract animal.

**POV**

Xiao Shi, Yuan, and Feng Yue listened carefully. Pretty memorable story for a shitty guy like Teng She.

" So, if you've been friends for that long, do you think that General is the one I deserve to be aware of later?" xiao Shi. honestly asked he was confused, even though the man was a friend of Teng She but still it did not guarantee that the man would not stab him from behind in the future.

" It's not necessary, he's a good man, he always walks on the path of truth. If he saw you walking on the same path, he would definitely support you" as far as Teng She knew him, that friend of hers never supported things that harmed others. He loves helping people and pleasing them.

" What about his father? That great commander? There's no way she's good, is she?" Yuan wanted to make sure that his nona really wasn't in danger just because of Teng She's friendship.

" Not at all, Great Master Chi is a good person. He's better known by the name of Commander Li, he's a wise man."

" If they are good people, why did you change your name? Your name is even almost the same as mine, it's annoying" Feng Yue protested, it's true, ever since knowing that she was very upset at the dragon so-so events in front of her.

" What do I care? I used that name long before I knew you" protested Teng She not wanting to lose to Feng Yue.

" why do you have to change your name?" xiao Shi asked, to be honest he was curious about this.

" That's because they didn't know I was a dragon" he replied hesitantly.

" WHATAAA?!!" exclaimed Xiao Shi, Yuan, and Feng Yue simultaneously. Teng she scratched her non-itchy nape.

" How can it be?"

" Not everyone accepts us, so if you meet an outsider, we should keep it a secret and try to stay hidden. Human beings are too cunning if they are told of our whereabouts" Teng She explained.

" That means, until now your friend didn't know it?"

" Right."

" Attractive, do you intend to tell him?"

" No, but if he finds out by accident then let it happen"

Xiao Shi simply nodded his head. " I hope your judgment is correct"

" Of course" Teng She said with certainty.

" But wait, you even changed your name and this stupid girl, knpa?" he continued, pointing at Yuan.

Xiao Shi got up from his seat, and placed both of his hands on his waist while walking towards Teng She. " You think I'd say who I am to a stranger? With a face I don't cover? I don't think Yuan is stupid, but you!"

As long as Xiao Shi spoke, Teng She retreated her steps continuously until her steps came to a halt as she crashed into a tree.

Then a soldier entered the Xiao Shi residence, although it was forbidden to enter but the soldier still entered because he had the authority that could not be denied, he was the messenger soldier of his father.

" What's up?" xiao Shi asked the soldier.

" Daughter, the decree for your wedding day has come from the Empire. Along with the letter of agreement you made with the emperor has also been sent and stamped officially on behalf of the Emperor." Reply to the soldier at length.

" When is the wedding?"

" It will be implemented on ****** Princess"

" WHATAAA??!!!!"
