Zhao Ming stepped back when the two men stepped towards them with their mysterious gazes fixated on them. Lu shi was also holding her hand tightly, not letting go.

" You...You...You can't take Her Majesty anywhere. I won't let you do that. Before reaching her, you need to deal with me.." Lu shi announced while glaring at those men with strong bulky muscles. She might not be powerful enough to fight with these men but when she started working for Zhao Ming, she had already promised to put everything at stake, just for her.

To stop these men from taking Zhao Ming away, she will do everything in her power. Zhao Ming is not only her 'Miss' but also the Empress of Ji Dynasty. Her dignity represents the whole country, if anything happened to her, she won't be able to forgive herself for her incapability.

" Lu shi.." Zhao Ming murmured while looking at her with her murmured eyes. Lu shi has always been a cute girl for her who keeps nagging her to act in a dignified way since the very first day she came into this world.

She has always supported her in her mischief, hardships, and happiness. When the danger is in front of them, she bravely stands between her and the danger, not thinking twice about the consequences.

" Haha, you're gonna stop us? Little girl, we don't have anything with you so you can leave after we're done. However, we don't mind if you want to come with us." One of the men said while smirking at them.

"Waah, We're scared." The man said and laughed at their misery and fearful expressions.

The man on the right placed the knife in his pocket and said seriously, " Little girl, we're not here for you. Although we would love to accompany you but not today. We are working and to complete our task, we need to take Her Majesty with us. So stop acting and get out of our way, if you don't want to be our meal tonight." He said looking at Lu shi's petite stature and said suggestively.

Zhao Ming frowned, disgusted at their disgusting lustful comment. She was afraid but seeing them looking at Lu shi disgustingly, made her blood boil.

She gritted her teeth and before the man could touch Lu shi's wrist, she kicked him in the abdomen, using all her remaining strength. She didn't have the energy to play wrestling-wrestling since she was walking for a long time and her legs have already given up.

But in times of emergency, even a child can fight. She was just a little tired, she can't give up her hopes without giving it a try.

" Ahh," The man yelped in pain holding her abdomen that she kicked forcefully. He was an ace fighter but since she attacked him sneakily, it caught him off guard, and ended up getting hurt badly.

" You Bitch!" The other man who saw Zhao Ming attacking his partner, cursed at her and lunged at her to teach her a lesson. He kicked her on the stomach but she dodged and punched him in the face.

He gritted his teeth and tried to slap her but she held his wrist, locking it behind his back, she kicked him on the knee.

He gritted seeing that this woman is not weak as he had expected. When they were following her, she was shopping and eating the stalls, acting like a spoiled, pampered Empress.

.

Her punches and form might not be perfect but her aggressiveness and rawness in her actions surprised them, caught them off guard.

The training that she took from Ji Cheng to strengthen her immunity and power as suggested by Shen Jia was now coming in handy for her to protect herself from these two robbers who appeared out of nowhere. She doesn't know what they want but she is sure that she will do anything to save herself and Lu shi from these men.

Going with them means that she would be entering into the devil's den, not knowing what danger is waiting for her. Also, seeing their lustful eyes and suggestive words, she was even more reluctant to go with them.

The other man was about to attack Zhao Ming when Lu shi hit him with a rock. However, it didn't hurt him as she had expected and only earned a painful groan from him. He looked at her and gritted his teeth, he moved towards her with his heavy steps.

" AHH" He grabbed her hair, pulling them hard, and threw her on the ground ruthlessly. Lu shi hit her head against the large boulder, resulting in heavy bleeding.

Because of hitting her head hard against the boulder, she fainted right away, with her body lying beside the large boulder weakly.

" Lu shi.." Zhao Ming who was fighting with the other man shouted in horror seeing Lu shi lying unconsciously with her head bleeding profusely.

Unconsciously, she released her hand on the man's hand. Taking advantage of her distraction, the man grasped her wrist, pulling it behind her back, and grabbed her hair, pulling them behind with force. " You Bitch! You were trying to be smart when we were being nice? If we weren't ordered to not touch you, we would have taught you a lesson for messing with us." He glared at her with his lustful gaze and caressed her face with a finger.

Tears filled in Zhao Ming's eyes due to the pain and helplessness. She shifted her face to the side, disgusted with the man's finger touching her face and his breath hitting her skin.

She saw Lu shi's condition and saw her lying there, covered in blood.

" You want to take me right? I will go with you but let this girl go. She didn't do anything wrong, don't hurt her." She pleaded as she could not see her in this condition.

She was the one who brought her out, it was all because of her stubbornness. She was the one who wanted to go out without telling Ji Cheng and the guards. She was not regretting her actions but it was too late now.

She doesn't care about her life since she has already died once, but what about Lu shi? This little girl hasn't seen anything about life and it would be not fair for her to get hurt because of her stubbornness.

" Haha, Now you're talking with some sense. We don't have anything to do with this girl. We just need to take you with us. Brother, this bitch is ready to come with us. Boss, would be happy to see his woman entering his den. Woman, your life is going to be interesting now. You're lucky to get the attention of our boss." He laughed while looking at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming frowned hearing his words. Interest? His woman? What crimes she had done to get the attention of who knows this so-called Boss of theirs.

Fear engulfed inside her as she couldn't help but think of the worse. She doesn't know what intention these men are holding, what if these men are human traffickers who would sell her to that man who had taken interest in her?

NO! I can't let that happen.
