LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS is a Webnovel created by Golda.
This lightnovel is currently Ongoing.
The Tians.h.i.+ Emperor looking at everything from a distance had a deep frown in his face which was hidden well by his mask and he didn’t like what was going on there among those men mocking her.
Times change, generations come and go but women have the same problem from then till now… Attack on their character and chast.i.ty as if those are the only important things for a woman…!
He himself was like that and when he was talking to his then friend Shu Meili, she asked him ‘Haven’t you dirtied your body by being with many women? Why is the same rules of chast.i.ty not apply to you?’. That made him think hard and he changed himself. It was hard but he changed himself. She also made him hang upside down for an entire night before she forgave him for choking her that day in the temple. She was a strong woman and he loved her for that too ong other reasons! This child sure is her descendant, isn’t she?
And so is it not the time to change all of it…? That little boy seemed a bit indecisive to sit on the throne, but is he not doing the right thing by sending her off alone to fight her own battle? That child is competent to handle this…! There might not be another woman of her caliber who would appear in this world but if she wins today won’t that be a little victory against those who blame women for everything?
Like those who blamed his mother for his father’s inability to rule the nation and went as far as to kill her brutally without even trying to confront his father to focus more on governing the nation than pitching his tent in the inner palace. Aren’t women the garbage, the cannon fodder and the expendables through out history?
This child sure is impressive and has done a lot of amazing things in her eighteen years alive. But isn’t most of her achievements done under the guise of a man..? As Lord Táng, the man wearing crimson robes..? If she did all those things as a woman, would she be held in the same position as she is now by those people whom she had helped?
Whatever! Time for her to show the world that she as a woman is better than any other man sneering at her right now!
***
Chenglie was sitting in a tree along with s.h.i.+hong who wanted him to watch the humiliations the one he betrayed him suffer.
s.h.i.+hong was anxiously waiting for everyone to point their finger at her and with no one by her side she just kills herself with the sword in her hand.
But boy, was he surprised!
s.h.i.+hong saw the Emperor preparing her to fight. Is she going to fight her accusers to prove her innocence? How stupid!
Chenglie on the other hand was fisting his hands hard to control his emotions to not kill s.h.i.+hong at this moment. As expected, they accused her whether she gets attacked or not. Last night he was about to get back and kill those men in the holding cells so that they cannot spit nonsense about her but s.h.i.+hong was guarding him like a dog!
He wanted to pull the tongue of each and everyone who were laughing at her and then let pigs eat their tongue and then feed those pigs back to them and then grind them to a pulp and distribute them to dogs.
But alas! Now he is with the enemy and he has to endure witnessing the suffering she is going through! Like an imbecile!
He hated himself for that.
“Look at that lovely interaction..! I wonder how you fell for that s.l.u.t!”, s.h.i.+hong gripped his arms and spoke with a snicker.
Chenglie saw his brother holding her wrists and looking at her gently saying something and he would be lying if he said he didn’t feel something sour in his heart.
But he saw the way his Xing was looking back at his brother… It was in no way similar to how she would look at him…!
His moon only looks at him with those eyes filled with lots of love, a bit of possessiveness and a tint of bashfulness that would make his heart go crazy! My love, how I wish to see that again!
“Now, now… Shoot him”, s.h.i.+hong pointed at the Emperor and Chenglie saw his brother standing up with his word still fixed in the ground and he picked up a sword on the table and gave it to her.
Chenglie didn’t want to shoot but he didn’t linger and he aimed straight at his brother’s temple… No one will survive damaged brain!
*Whoosh *
The arrow diced through the wind and went on its trajectory towards his brother’s head as it was intended.
Chenglie bit his lips in antic.i.p.ation… His brother cannot die!
Xing…! Look out!
Just as he thought that, Xing turned in his direction and her eyes widened seeing the fast approaching arrow towards the Emperor. But before she could react, the Emperor picked up the sword he had fixed on the ground and sliced the arrow in two,surprising everyone…
Isn’t the Emperor a coward and stupid?
But immediately after the Emperor dodged the arrow, the Zhong soldiers surrounding them launched a strike to counter attack and hundreds of arrows flew in the direction of the arrow that tried to attack the Emperor and Xing could feel two of them fleeing the scene one being Chenglie.
My Prince! Please escape!
Chenglie chided s.h.i.+hong in his heart as he escaped. He missed watching his Xing fighting those vile men with some new sword she is having. How disappointing!
He wanted to crack open the skill of s.h.i.+hong and scramble his brain out.
