"If…." Finally, Shao Chen said after about an hour later.
The girls, who were almost fell asleep, immediately got up and were ready to listen.
"…the emperor killed my family and my family told me to meet the emperor, what did they want me to do?"
The girls stared at each other. Hearing the word 'emperor', they were a little bit scared and hesitated. However, inside their brains, there was only one word and it terrified them if that word were really aimed at the emperor.
They immediately stood up and sat close together on either side of Shao Chen.
With a very small voice, the oldest girl said with a slight trembling. "I'm afraid to say this because you know, it's about the emperor! you promise you won't report me because I told you about this, right?"
Shao Chen nodded. "My memory is very bad so you can believe me a hundred percent that I will forget who told me this," he said with confidence and a big smile. He looked very proud of his stupidity!
The girls stared at each other again, communicating through their eyes. If it was someone else who said it, maybe they would still suspicious and thought it through carefully. But, this was Shao Chen! After seeing him for a while, they knew how bad his brain worked so they could let out a sigh of relief.
"Still, even if you remember, never tell someone about this!" The middle girl warned.
Shao Chen nodded and muttered it a few times to remember.
The girls waited patiently. It really took a lot of time to talk to him!
"Alright … what were we talking about before?" Shao Chen asked after finished muttering. He had forgotten about the topic they were discussing.
The youngest whispered exasperatedly, "About what your family wanted you to do after meeting the emperor!"
Shao Chen finally recalled it then asked for the answer impatiently.
The oldest replied nervously, "That might be for revenge against the emperor."
Shao Chen started to mutter the words again.
The girls sighed. "Could you mutter it later? I will summarize them for you later so for now, listen to what we say first!" the middle girl exclaimed in frustration. At this rate, she didn't know when this conversation could end.
Shao Chen followed their order and stopped. He realized something very important while muttering before so he asked, "Who is the emperor?"
The girls stared at him as if they had seen an alien.
"You … no matter how stupid you are, there is no way you don't know the emperor!" the oldest exclaimed with disbelief.
Shao Chen shook his head innocently. "I don't know."
At last, the girls gave up. Maybe this man was really too stupid and they accepted the fact sincerely.
"The emperor is the leader of this Xin Kingdom," the youngest answered.
Shao Chen muttered 'I see' blankly then asked a question that made the girls almost vomit blood. "Where can I find the emperor?"
'We have decided to accept his stupidity no matter what but this is beyond expectations!'
After taking a breath to calm herself down, the middle girl answered. "Of course in the palace." She felt like she was talking to a 5 years old child.
"Then I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor for revenge," Shao Chen shouted very loud that the girls immediately covered his mouths with hands.
"Don't be so loud!"
They almost had a heart attack!
"The emperor is not someone who can be met casually!" the youngest exclaimed in a muffled voice.
"Why?" Shao Chen frown in confusion. After all, he even had no clue about the leader and government system in his own country, so how could he know anything about this country?
"Because the emperor is an important person," the middle girl explained.
"After all, the palace can't be entered by just anyone!" the oldest added.
Shao Chen's face darkened. His mother had told him to meet this emperor and that was her last message. He had to do it for her sake. "How I get into the palace?"
"It is impossible!" the youngest exclaimed.
"You are too stupid to be accepted as the palace worker!" the middle girl added.
The oldest immediately reprimanded her siblings for being rude.
"Is the ability to count money quickly and accurately unacceptable?" Shao Chen tried to negotiate.
"Of course not!" the three exclaimed simultaneously. Nobody could not count money in this kingdom!
Shao Chen's face turned gloomy. "I have to enter the palace," he muttered exasperatedly.
The girls looked at him with pity. They could understand why this man was very determined to enter the palace. Even though they were still afraid because this problem had something to do with the palace, they wanted to help Shao Chen.
Suddenly the youngest recalled a piece of information that she had read yesterday. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "I know! Isn't the palace opening registration for the new emperor's harem?!" she exclaimed, feeling that this was a brilliant idea but immediately got a hit from her sisters.
"Stupid! Shao Chen is a man. How could he get into the emperor's harem?!"
However, Shao Chen's eyes were already sparkling. As long as he could enter the palace, he would be willing to take any way without considering the risks.
"No! That is girls only!" The eldest was trying to remove this crazy idea from Shao Chen's head.
"Then, I will become a girl!" Shao Chen exclaimed without considering anything anymore.
"How can you change your gender?!"
"I can't?"
"We can do him a makeup!" the youngest exclaimed again, very excited and supportive of this idea.
Her sisters glared at the youngest with murderous looks. 'Don't make things worse! We have to prevent him to do that crazy thing not support him!' They exclaimed through their eyes.
However, the idea already excited Shao Chen more. "I want makeup!"
"No way!" the oldest and the middle rejected immediately.
Shao Chen was annoyed. He kept pleading and pleading until finally, the girls had no choice but to grant his wish.
"But before we do that, I will warn you! If you get caught, you can lose your head! No, maybe it will be worse. You may be pulled by the buffalos until your body was torn into several parts!" The oldest still trying to scare Shao Chen and made him change his mind but Shao Chen did not care.
His mind was very simple so when he already decided to do something, he would only focus on achieving it and ignored all of the risks that may harm him even though someone had warned him.
"I will do it!"
The two elder sisters could only sigh desperately while the youngest was clapping excitedly. She felt like she was doing a secret mission, making her heart flutter.
"By the way … who are you?" Shao Chen suddenly asked.
The girls almost fall from their seats.
