Almost all the spectators on Blue Sky Plaza were stunned when they watched these scenes unfold.
Especially when they saw An Lin and Liu Qianhuan bow and vow themselves to the little girl, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning and curses raced through their minds.
"This is insane! What kind of godly progression is this?!"
"Become guardians of the holy grail? Is this event going to transform from 'the battle for the holy grails' into 'the defense of the holy grails'...?"
"No! This is clearly 'Guarding?Athena'?~sup~1~/sup~?!"
"They're only doing this because they have a specific aim in mind. Now that they've become that little girl's guardians, all they need to do is eliminate the remaining enemies. Once they accomplish that, then the Heavenly Court will become champion."
"It's all because the Hall of Creation's Dong Yan was so underhanded. Otherwise, God An and Goddess Liu wouldn't have made such a decision!"
"I reckon this strategy is fairly good though."
"I think I may have been watching a fake competition..."
...
After a short moment of silence, intense discussions broke out all over Blue Sky Plaza.
Gazing at the crystal screen, the three representatives who were beaten silly by that little fist—Hong Dou, Wang Xuanzhan, and Arthur—all felt like dying. They felt like the world had deceived them.
On a mountainside amidst the Zhong Long mountain ranges.
An Lin, Liu Qianhuan, and the little girl sat around a campfire.
An Lin was Guardian of the Left, and Liu Qianhuan was Guardian of the Right.
As the Queen's guardians, they had the honor of being able to receive a share of the wild boar.
"Looking at the current situation, the enemies are weak and we are powerful. In other words, they're no match for us!" An Lin analyzed the situation seriously as he munched down on roast boar.
"They can't defeat us in a head-on battle. What we need to do is make sure that we don't fall into their traps. To be honest, with the strength that Your Majesty possesses... even if we do fall into any traps, we can break out of them using brute strength..." As Liu Qianhuan spoke, it started to feel like there was nothing else left to analyze.
Soon after, they came to a conclusion.
That was right... They concluded that they were too strong!
They would use their overwhelming strength to rip through any traps or cunning schemes.
In the face of absolute power, any and all hindrances were meaningless!
Hah... We've really latched onto a massive coattail. ?The two of them involuntarily exclaimed in their minds.
Just like that, the three of them continued to leisurely chomp down on wild boar meat.
Afterward, they scoured the surroundings but didn't find the person who had forced them out of their hiding. They couldn't be bothered continuing their search either, as their current situation wasn't all that bad anyway.
After dinner, the little girl grabbed one of Liu Qianhuan's phones. She sat to the side and started fiddling with it herself.
She didn't have much interest in the mobile games that Liu Qianhuan spoke of. Instead, she was more interested in some functions and applications on the phone. For example... Meitu?Pic?~sup~2~/sup~?!
"Wow...! My eyes became so big~"
Looking at her large and bright eyes in the selfie she took, the little girl couldn't help but start giggling.
"I can even give myself a heart-shaped face, round face, flat face..."
She kept giggling to herself as she used various types of filters and beautifiers. She looked much like a little girl who had just received a new toy.
...
...
In the distant sky above the mountain ranges, there was a transparent white mirror in front of Augus and Shirley. Through this mirror, they could clearly observe what was going on at the mountainside in the distance.
After witnessing the events that had just transpired, they were dazed for a long time.
"Those two people are An Lin and Liu Qianhuan, yeah?" Augus stammered.
Shirley nodded expressionlessly."M-hm."
Augus sucked in a sharp breath."They're actually interacting joyously and harmoniously with the golden holy grail's war demon?"
Looking at the little girl who turned around occasionally to talk cheerfully with the two people, Shirley nodded dazedly."M-hm."
Just like that, the two of them observed the mountainside through the mirror for a long while.
"The strength of the golden holy grail's war demon is practically impossible to overcome already." Augus sighed in despair."Now, even the Heavenly Court's two representatives have joined her... Heh, they're so brutal."
On the mountainside, the queen decided to take her two guardians to her imperial palace.
The three of them flew up the mountainside. Then, the little girl waved her slender hand, and it was as if something had been lifted off of the mountaintop. The ice and snow disappeared to reveal the mountaintop's true appearance.
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan widened their eyes in astonishment. What they saw was a boxy rock formation sitting atop the summit of the mountain. If they had to describe it, then they would say that it looked as if this mountain was wearing a cube-shaped crown!
"Welcome to my territory, Queen's Peak!"
The little girl cheerily welcomed them as they landed on the mountaintop.
This mountaintop was very open and spacious, and there were even ponds and vegetation scattered about. In the center, there was a white palace. It was small and exquisite, and it appeared especially refined.
An Lin looked around and asked curiously, "This place can't be seen from the outside. Apart from illusory spell formations, are there any other protective spell formations?"
The little girl shook her head."I'm very strong, so I don't need to have an awful mess of spell formations. Besides, in the past hundred years, no outsider has been able to snatch away my crown."
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan both shivered when they heard this."The outsiders you came across before... Were they similar to us?" Liu Qianhuan asked uneasily.
"Of course, " the little girl sneered."Do you think that I'm absolutely clueless? We Holy Grail War Demons are beings formed from the interaction between the dragon artery and Ling Huang Holy Grail. Even if we're killed, we'll still be reborn. However, This Queen hasn't experienced the feeling of defeat for a long time..."
Saying this, her demeanor was as if she was feeling lonely from being too invincible. She raised her head slightly and sighed softly."This Queen has personally eliminated hundreds of people. What powerful beings have I not come across.. ?"
Hearing this, An Lin and Liu Qianhuan dared not speak any further. They knew what this figure represented. This number was accumulated from the countless prodigies who had failed.
Initially, An Lin had wanted to ask the little girl about the last time that the golden holy grail was stolen. He wanted to her ask when it was, and who had accomplished it. However, he was afraid that this kind of question would annoy her. What would he do if she replied with her fist?
With this in mind, he forcefully suppressed his curiosity.
They walked into the palace. From the outside, it looked exquisite. However, its interior was actually very simple. Basically, there were just some ordinary decorations and furniture. There wasn't even a single treasure.
"Have a seat. I... I'll prepare some tea for you guys." Seeing the two of them sit down, the little girl started searching everywhere for a tea set.
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan exchanged a glance, and they saw the look of astonishment in each other's eyes. The queen was going to prepare tea for them? What was this all about?
The little girl didn't look at them. Instead, she clumsily laid out the tea set, washed the tea, prepared the tea, and poured the tea.
Then, as if becoming aware of something, her pretty little face flushed a slight red. She pointed toward the tea and said in a dignified manner, "Drink it, guys~!"
"Okay..."
An Lin nodded and took a sip from the teacup.
Its flavor was very astringent. It was as if the tea had been made from leaves casually plucked from some random old tree.
Seeing them both taking a sip, the little girl smiled faintly. She blinked excitedly and asked in her crisp voice, "How's the tea that This Queen prepared?"
"Delicious!"
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan replied in unison.
"Don't lie to This Queen. I know that you two are lying."
An Lin: "..."
Liu Qianhuan: "..."
"But... I still wanted you guys to try it. After all, it's been ages since I've had guests over at my place. I also want to do some things that hosts should do."
Actually, you could have chosen to pour water...?An Lin didn't speak this out aloud.
Liu Qianhuan looked at the little girl sympathetically."Then you must feel so bored living here, right?"
"It's not boring at all~ I go out to hunt every day and eat tasty and delicious meats. At night, I can also gaze at the moon and stars. Every five years, outsiders like you guys come, and I can even fight! It's so interesting!" The little girl counted off all the things she found interesting on her slender fingers.
An Lin: "..."
Liu Qianhuan: "..."
It would've been fine if she didn't say anything. After listening to the things that she listed, her days really did seem extremely boring!
In order to alleviate her boring routine, Liu Qianhuan gifted the little girl a mobile phone. This was her tribute to the queen.
The little girl didn't turn down her gift. Rather, she was quite moved as she accepted it.
She held the phone in her small hands and exclaimed, "It would be great if all the outsiders were as thoughtful and understanding as you guys..."
In her eyes, this mobile phone was like an extraordinary treasure. She couldn't hide the smile on her face as she looked at it with her bright eyes.
Just like that, the three of them conversed cheerily as they awaited the final battle.
