Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: You guys came in time.

“Stop the nonsense!”

“Even if the king himself comes today, he won’t be able to save you!”

“Call for help!”

“Hit me hard!”

The demented Yang Shancheng lay on the ground, staring fiercely at Bai Yu, shouting loudly. However, the people around remained unmoved. Several constables, looking at the newcomers, were even more baffled.

Green-clothed secret guards!

Directly under the emperor, with the authority to supervise and execute officers without reporting. They were not people they could mess with. Compared to Yang Shancheng’s crazy wailing, their presence was incomparable.

Thinking of Bai Yu’s piercing words not long ago, an inexplicable feeling of foreboding grew stronger.

“Um?”

Five people in blue corset brocade clothes arrived, their demeanour stern. Listening to Yang Shancheng’s wails, they frowned.

“I am Bai Yu.”

With no assistance, Yang Shancheng was like a barking teddy dog—ridiculous.

Bai Yu gestured towards them, smiling lightly and said, “You guys came just in time~.”

As if he genuinely wanted to know if they would come. The green-clothed secret guards looked at the unusually young scholar, freezing for a moment. Unexpectedly, Bai Yu’s reaction to see them was so indifferent.

“Your Excellency Bai Yu.”

“The Emperor has a decree and hopes you’ll come to the palace for a conversation.” The lead green-clothed secret guard presented a gold waist token and said to Bai Yu in a softer tone than usual.

“Hiss!”

Bai Yu hadn’t responded yet. Yang Shancheng suddenly widened his eyes, lying on the ground and throwing a tantrum.

“Your Majesty?”

He quickly turned around and saw the newcomers’ attire, and his chaotic mind instantly cleared.

Seeing the gold waist token engraved with “like me in person,” his eyes widened even more.

“Puff!”

He’s in trouble! He’s in big trouble!

The whole person turned over and knelt on the ground, burying his head in the dust.

“Long live Your Majesty!”

He hoped everyone wouldn’t notice him, praying they would forget what he had just said. The slap marks on his face were still visible, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face. Cold sweat dampened the back of his clothes.

His mind was shaken!

His Majesty!

Even if he’s just the fourth son of a minor marquis, what if he were the prime minister’s son? No matter how noble his lineage, it couldn’t compare to this authority.

This is the emperor!

What did the emperor say?

He wants to meet… Bai Yu?

Oh no!

His usually not-so-smart brain was spinning at an unprecedented speed.

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

Who is Bai Yu?

Is he some kind of dignitary?

Why does the emperor want to see him?

What should I do?

The more he thought, the faster his heart pounded, making him increasingly nervous. Unconsciously trembling, he clamped his legs tightly, and an uncontrollable urge to urinate surged. In an instant, Bai Yu’s identity transformed from a powerless commoner to an untouchable figure. At this moment, he wasn’t thinking about revenge against this guy.

Instead… how to survive!

Don’t see me! Don’t see me!

Uncle Bai, Daddy Bai!

You’ve hit me, scolded me, and I haven’t harmed you. Just let me go!

At this moment, no anger or arrogance was left, only intense regret. Wouldn’t it be nice to be his carefree playboy?

Why did he come here today?

To meet this devilish scholar and get into a disaster his father couldn’t save him from!

“Long live Your Majesty!”

After the green-clothed secret guard presented the waist token, everyone knelt to worship except for one person.
