[Asking permission from the host whether to activate the immuno pain suppression mode or not . This function takes 1/12 hit points and suppresses the host’s pain for ten minutes . Moreover, it will double the pain that will be endured by the body right after deactivation . This function can be activated for free only this time . ]

Free event? The system still has a bit of humanity left in it after all .

Su Xin flipped her hair back . This was her last resort .

Bring it on .

The next moment, the pain completely disappeared and Su Xin felt revived like she wasn’t hurt in the first place .

Qu Feiqing was already encircled by the enemies, but she was hardly fl.u.s.tered . She saw Su Xin who was blown away by one of the a.s.sa.s.sins in her attempt to help her and her fury awhile ago was quickly replaced by pity .

A person who is this fragile is not suitable to live beside her .
　　
Her life was not peaceful, it would never be . Even after four years of reigning as the emperor, she still couldn’t shake off some deep-rooted hatred towards her . She couldn’t count the number of people who want to see her head roll .

But now she knew that Su Xin was not among the people who loathe her . She saw Su Xin coming towards her with a smile and she was instantly surprised .

There it was—the bloodthirsty smile from the banquet was on her face once again .

Overwhelmed by the effect given to her by the system, Su Xin felt that she was about to become a hero just like the legendary tales she read in her previous life . Just like Robinhood who robbed from the rich and helped the poor . Heck, she even felt like she could be at two places simultaneously and save the world .

Wounded and dead lay spread on the ground with their weapons . Somehow this situation became convenient to Su Xin . She abandoned the heavy sword and replaced it with a dagger she found .  

Then, she began to execute her attack, protecting the emperor behind her . But, Qu Feiqing wasn’t too happy by what she saw and her forehead was bunched with a frown . Su Xin held a dagger which put her into close proximity with the enemies, giving them the chance to hurt her easily . It was a technique which didn’t benefit the user [note]损人不利己 (sǔn rén bù lì jǐ) to harm others without benefiting oneself (idiom)[/note] .

It was killing enemies by one thousand and injuring thyself by eight hundred[note] “A thousand injured, self-damaged eight hundred . ” Sun Tzu’s art of attack was extended . It means that on the surface, it means fighting against the enemy . Although it killed a thousand enemies, it also lost 800 people . The gap between the two sides is not much different . It is said that if you compete with people hard, the loss is not only the enemy, but the actual loss is both . [/note] .

Despite the constant a.s.saults she received, Su Xin remained unfazed, unflinching and movements unimpeded . She didn’t seem to feel any pain when the enemy’s weapon dug into her skin and blows were rendered to her body .

Qu Feiqing could no longer take seeing Su Xin getting butchered . She approached her and took over in fighting the people a.s.saulting her .

She then pulled Su Xin behind her .

“It’s all right, I’ll take care of this . ”

Qu Feiqing didn’t stop until all her enemies ceased breathing .  

There was no more clamor of swords for the whole place was now a grave of the unburied corpses . A hush of silence circled around the people as their eyes were trained on their ferocious emperor who was covered in blood that weren’t hers .
