My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Shu Jingwei's tears finally flowed uncontrollably. The despair of being completely dominated and having her dignity utterly crushed overwhelmed her.

Even though her childhood was not smooth, she was still a princess and was above all others after ascending the throne. She had never suffered such humiliation.

"Where are the Imperial Guards?!" she screamed hoarsely. "Are they blind?! Protect the Emperor! Don't they want to live?!"

She flailed her arms wildly, scratching and clawing at whatever was attacking her, but all her efforts were in vain.

She couldn't touch anything; she didn't even know what was attacking her.

Several of Shu Jingwei and Yao Jingyuan's loyal guards gritted their teeth, enduring the lingering pain from their injuries and the immense fear in their hearts, and charged towards the two of them, gripping their weapons tightly.

They tried to shield the two men behind them.

however--

"Bang!"

"Thump!"

The blurry shadow flashed by, so fast it was like an illusion!

The captain of the guards at the forefront felt as if he had been struck in the chest with a heavy hammer. He screamed, staggered back several steps, and collapsed to the ground with a thud, his chest tight and unable to breathe for a moment.

Another guard who tried to help Yao Jingyuan experienced a sharp pain in his wrist before he even touched Yao Jingyuan's arm, as if he had been hit by a boulder.

He cried out in pain and pulled his hand back, only to see that his wrist had quickly become red and swollen.

"There's...there's a ghost!"

"What...what is it!?"

They looked around in terror, their eyes sore and watering, but they dared not blink, trying to pinpoint the source of the attack.

They would occasionally catch a glimpse of a blurry, dark shadow flitting by, but by the time they tried to pinpoint it, it had vanished without a trace.

That speed was clearly beyond the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.

Unpredictable, unavoidable, let alone obstructable.

Shu Jingwei and Yao Jingyuan's fear reached its peak.

This invisible force is elusive and impossible to defend against, and its target is extremely clear: the two of them!

Despite the excruciating pain, Shu Jingwei rolled sharply to the side, trying to dodge a possible next attack.

The next second—

"Bang!"

She was kicked hard in the buttocks, the force of which was so great that she slid half a foot off the ground.

She gasped in pain, her teeth grinding together, and her rolling motion came to an abrupt halt.

Yao Jingyuan lay on the ground, trying to crawl away.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his back, as if a mountain had pressed down on him.

The weight was so heavy he almost passed out. It felt like the air in his lungs was being squeezed out instantly. He opened his mouth wide, but could only gasp for breath. He could only kneel back down on the spot, his whole body trembling violently.

"Lin Ye!"

Shu Jingwei finally figured it out.

Who else could possess such methods besides Lin Ye, who appeared completely detached from the situation?!

She suddenly raised her head and stared intently at Lin Ye.

"Lin Ye—!" Shu Jingwei's voice was completely distorted by anger and excruciating pain, sharp as if someone were scratching glass with fingernails. "You monster! Traitor!"

Her voice echoed through the empty mountains, startling the birds that were roosting there.

"I will exterminate your entire family! I will have you torn to pieces!!!"

Her hair was disheveled, her face covered in dust and dried blood, and blood was still seeping from the abrasions on her forehead. A drop of red blood slowly slid down her nose and landed on her broken light armor.

Where is even a trace of the Empress's majesty in the person before me?

She futilely shielded her head and face with her already scarred arms while cursing at the top of her lungs.

The sound became intermittent due to the occasional blows, like a rusty knife sawing wood, each syllable carrying an unpleasant sharpness.

Yao Jingyuan collapsed to his knees, his face streaked with tears and snot, smeared with blood and dirt. His once charming eyes were now swollen shut, barely visible as slits.

He completely broke down. Because his front tooth was knocked out, he could only try to make muffled sounds from his throat to beg for mercy.

"Lin Ye...spare...spare my life...Ye Fan...it wasn't me...it was His Majesty...His Majesty forced me..."

That sentence was left unfinished.

Because what followed was an even denser and more ferocious barrage of invisible kicks and stomps.

"Bang!"

"Thump!"

……

The sound was so dense it was like someone was beating a drum, each sound accompanied by a muffled groan and a scream that the person being hit could not suppress.

As the number of blows they received increased, their screams began to be mixed with groans of their bones bearing the unbearable weight.

Their luxurious clothes were gradually soaked with blood.

Shu Jingwei's breastplate was splattered with dark red blood, which was flowing down the seams of the armor and leaving dark marks on the ground.

Her knees were already a bloody mess.

His light armor was torn to shreds, exposing his arms, shoulders, and back, which were covered in purplish-blue bruises.

Her hair was completely disheveled, and her long hair clung messily to her sweat-dampened and blood-stained face, with strands sticking to her forehead.

Yao Jingyuan wasn't much better off.

He had knocked out two of his front teeth, his mouth was full of blood, and there was hardly a piece of good flesh on his body. Every breath was accompanied by the stinging pain of his skin and the rustling sound of his bones grinding together.

He lay there like a dead dog, only able to gasp for breath and groan in pain, too weak even to beg for mercy.

The mountain wind ruffled his dark hair, making a rustling sound, while he remained as steady as a pine tree or a rock.

He held the little girl, who had buried her face in his chest, steadily in one arm, while his other hand gently and slowly stroked her thin back.

His palm was pressed against the little body of the child, who was wearing a down jacket, and he could feel the child's slight trembling.

"Don't be afraid, little one." Lin Ye lowered his head, his voice deep yet gentle, softly reaching the little one's ears, carrying a reassuring power.

"We're punishing the bad guys."

Little Douzi didn't look up when she heard this, but just gave a muffled reply and shook her head.

"Little Douzi... Little Douzi isn't afraid. Bad people should be punished!" She said she wasn't afraid, but she still buried her face deeper into his chest, her little hands tightly gripping his clothes.

However, the trembling gradually stopped.

Lin Ye chuckled and encouraged her, "Our little Douzi is so brave, that's fantastic!" He then tightened his grip on her.

When his gaze returned to the two people on the ground, it turned cold again.

He looked down at Shu Jingwei and Yao Jingyuan, who were struggling, rolling, howling, and cursing on the ground, like a god in the heavens indifferently watching ants struggling in the mud.

They precisely controlled the attack angle of the "Shadowless Kick" in their minds, allowing them to fully experience pain and humiliation without immediately losing consciousness.

……

Under the sky, millions of people in the Great Flame Kingdom witnessed this scene and instantly erupted into a roaring clamor!

Countless people rushed out of thatched huts, fields, and streets, gazing up at the exhilarating scene in the sky, waving their arms, pounding their chests, their eyes filled with tears of excitement, and shouting hoarsely.
