Chapter 154: To Hell With Your Auspicious Omen! (1 / 2)
You might not be afraid, but we are!!!
Hidden in the shadows, the Jinyiwei collectively transformed into the iconic painting The Scream.
How did things escalate to this point?
Well, it all started because they were secret guards, not mythical creatures capable of actual invisibility. Normally, they relied on cover—when there was none, they would pretend to be random passersby.
But none of that training prepared them for moments like this, such as when Xiao Baize decided to visit the latrine.
They couldn’t very well stroll over, pull their pants down next to him, and casually say, “Hey, brother, you’re here too?”
That wasn’t called secret protection; that was called being a creep!
In short, they didn’t want to be creeps, nor did they want Xiao Baize broadcasting their antics across the capital, earning themselves the label of “perverts.”
So, they usually trailed Xu Yanmiao from a discreet distance, their firearms ever ready to fire at the slightest threat. For example, when Xu Yanmiao met that woman earlier, the Jinyiwei had already taken aim at her with their firelocks. The moment something seemed off, they were prepared to shoot.
