Xiling Empire Chapter 9

(Ch.9) Harmless?

Fifteen minutes isn't very long or very short, but in this fifteen

minutes, three men transform from criminals to three idiots. When I recall the

With a light tick from within Pandora's body, time resumes, people

background. Silent world is suddenly filled with all kinds of voice, like the

students……

I feel like brain is about to explode……the contrast to too sharp……

But soon, the screaming stops, because someone finally realizes that

babies……

Actually, if someone is careful enough, they could still notice the feeling of incoordination. Although Pandora did her best to put the men on

some abnormality, like a video cut in the middle and the beginning and end is

their life, no one noticed this little abnormality.

Under normal circumstances, it's time for polices to come out and

leave this messed-up place.

So I pull Qian Qian's hand and drag her into the school, she's so
terrified all she can do is stumble behind me.

No one noticed that a pair of bright big eyes is staring at us
shockingly and suspiciously from the school across the street.

We rest for a long time under one of the school's building before

"Fewf……It scared the crap out of me. I thought those things only happen on TV, I never imagined it to happen around us."

I grin unnaturally, compared to you, what I just saw is much more unrealistic!

"Hey, Jun, why did the three men do that? Because of money? Maybe, all students there are rich, but why do they all look like that at the end? Do they have
heart attacks at the same time??"

I sign, "Qian Qian, you do have super strong nerves……You recover so fast……"

"Of course, we didn't get any actual harm, do I need to leave a psychological scar?" Qian Qian's super strong nerves perfectly do their job, the shooting doesn't seem to have much effect on her, making a sharp contrast with panicking
students running pass us.

"Oh, Jun, bring Lily to the office, it's late……Lily, are you OK? Do you want your brother to just bring you home?"

Qian Qian's words reminded me, I forgot something important. I forgot Pandora! I just dragged Qian Qian with me, I forgot Pandora……Did she quietly followed us all the way here?

I stood still, looking at the quiet girl pretending to be blind, with  complicated emotions in my eyes. Although I know that she's not human, but because her appearance is totally identical to human, I just can't help seeing her as a little girl with weird personality. But, her humanoid weapon form, brutally reminded me that, this girl that I call my little sister, is actually not human. She is just a weapon from the far away Xiling Empire.

Suddenly, I don't even know how to face her.

It's not that I dislike her, instead, when facing this cold girl that knows all me secrets, I always feel pity genuine. Maybe that's why it's so hard for me  to accept the fact that she is not human, and that she's just a humanoid weapon.

"Jun, what happened? Why are you staring into space again? Is it because what just happened?" Qian Qian saw me quietly staring at my sister, and she is worried. Something in her tone tells me that she is convinced that I was frightened by what happened. What a blow on my self-esteem……

"I'm okay. I'm just worried if Lily is frightened……go to class. I already told the teacher that I'll bring Lily to class before going to our class."

Qian Qian observes me for a few second, making sure that there's nothing wrong
with me, then replies, "Oh, bye, hurry up!"

……you are a few months younger than me, don't act like you're taking care of me……

"Emperor……"

"Don't call me emperor anymore." I firmly interrupted her.

Pandora seems to be surprised by what I just said, I can see a bit of her surprise on her emotionless face. Her grey eyes widens, making it a bit cuter.

A few seconds later, she finally reacted, "Emperor is the title for all highest competence individuals in Xiling Empire. If you wish, I can add 'your majesty', according to the norm of this world."

"No, that's not what I meant. Call me brother, and use this title from now on."

Pandora stares at me, and then, I hear a "bzzz" sound coming from her body,

white smoke raises from her head……

Heyheyhey, I just told you to change the way you call me, how did this give you a short circuit?

"Verified with the database, this title does not violate Xiling Law. I changed my
default title list, but under battle-mode the title stays as before."

Suddenly, she points to her head, "Brother, I overloaded……"

She looks sooooooooo cute!!!

Introducing Pandora to her classmates is easier than I thought. Her "story" quickly grabs the sympathy of her whole class, she immediately becomes the center of attention and love; everyone can't wait to show their love to this "poor" girl. The
enthusiasm of the class even makes Pandora a bit overwhelmed.

That made me assured - at least I don't need to worry about anyone bullying her because she's "blind" and killed by her phase shock gun. Pandora told me that if any
carbon-based organism tries to offend her, as a general of Xiling Empire, she has the duty to maintain the honour of Xiling Military. And the way she maintain the honour is by using violence - the limit to what violence she can use really scared me, I even see weapons for planets on the list!!

So far, my biggest with is that there won't be any idiot trying to offend Pandora…

Of course, without the support from outpost, she couldn't possible use weapon for planets, the most she can use is probably "just" legion-classed weapons……

So, classmates, don't be fooled by her "harmless" appearance~~~
