Chapter 548

"Be good, Xiao Yu, don't make trouble. Keeping the demon's mark is a very dangerous thing."

"That's not true. This mark isn't dangerous at all. As long as I can restrain some of the desires and emotions in my own heart, it won't affect me in any way. Broly told me so, and just now we were still in the park, summoning ninja to have them compete."

"Huh?!"

"Uh, to ensure Xiao Yu's safety, I got a mark for myself too."

Broly raised his right hand, displaying the mark in his palm, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then you have to wash it off too. Good thing your dad prepared some extra Cleaning Demon Potion."

Dad said this, then handed the Cleaning Demon Potion to Jackie Chan and Tru, letting Jackie Chan go wash Xiao Yu's mark, and letting Tru wash Broly's.

Broly obediently extended his hand, but Xiao Yu pushed her own Uncle Jackie Chan away in one go: "Don't even think about washing off my mark! I am the Queen of the Black Shadow Corps. I'm not a child anymore. You adults don't think you can control my life!"

One ninja soldier after another emerged from her shadow, stretched long by the sunset.

"Oh no, Xiao Yu, you've turned into a little blue person."

Jackie Chan exclaimed.

"Bad. The demon mark has already affected Xiao Yu. Jackie Chan, quickly stop her! Don't let Xiao Yu turn into a demon!"

Dad also exclaimed, and Jackie Chan, charging toward Xiao Yu, was kicked flying by a ninja soldier with one kick.

"I think Dad and Uncle Long, you both calm down a bit. Xiao Yu just has her own ideas. She actually doesn't have any major problem."

"Broly, have you also been affected by the demon mark?"

"No. Broly is just standing on my side, because he is my best and most loyal friend. He's completely different from you guys."

Xiao Yu came to Broly's side, raised her hand and rested it on his shoulder. The ninja soldiers then separated Tru, Jackie Chan, Dad, and the others.

"Broly, my friend. There's no place for us to stand here anymore. We should go somewhere else and build a Black Shadow Kingdom that belongs to us!"

The Black Shadow Corps ninja pulled up the black curtain, intending to use the power of darkness to take away their two new masters.

"Don't worry, Dad, Uncle Long. I'll take good care of Xiao Yu."

Broly left these words, and the next instant darkness submerged his figure.

"Wait!"

Jackie Chan lunged at empty air. Broly and Xiao Yu disappeared.

"Dad, what do we do now?"

He climbed up from the ground and asked the Dad behind him.

"The Yin-Yang Balance has been broken. This is definitely the Black Qi's influence. I'm afraid we have big trouble."

Dad only felt his brain case hurt a bit. The Black Shadow Corps affecting just Xiao Yu was one thing, but now even Broly, who could frontally contend with demons, was affected too. This was undoubtedly the worst situation.

"Regarding this person, we need to conduct further investigation."

Inside District 13, Chief Black was handling a case, but suddenly darkness emerged from the shadowy corner nearby.

He looked over and couldn't help but ask: "Broly and Xiao Yu, how did you two get here? And in such a strange way too?"

"Chief Black, I want to build a kingdom. First I need a palace, and District 13 happens to be a great choice for a palace!"

Xiao Yu answered the bald chief's question.

"What's up with her?"

Chief Black wasn't surprised by the Black Shadow Corps ninja business. At noon, when Broly came over to mooch a meal, they'd chatted about it. He knew about the mark, just didn't know why Xiao Yu looked like a total supervillain.

"Xiao Yu had a fight with her family. Because Uncle Long and Dad and them don't agree with her keeping the mark on her ankle. They're a bit disrespectful of her personal wishes. So now there's a conflict, and she's in the middle of running away from home."

Broly explained. Since he also had a mark on his hand, he understood Xiao Yu was just worked up right now, her emotions amplified by the mark, making her a bit irrational. He didn't think it was a big deal.

"Chief Black, could you please cooperate a bit?"

Broly asked the bald chief before him.

"What do you need me to do?"

"First, let District 13 do things according to Xiao Yu's wishes."

Broly finished speaking, then turned his head toward Xiao Yu in her Black Shadow Queen state and said: "My dear Queen Majesty, besides ninja, our Black Shadow Kingdom should also need some subjects. Chief Black and the other District 13 staff happen to be willing to become our first batch of subjects. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yu in her Black Shadow Queen state thought for a moment, then nodded: "You're right, Broly. We do indeed need subjects besides ninja. Then let them become the people of our kingdom."

"Uh, but Broly, District 13 usually has a lot of business to handle. Like dealing with international criminals and such."

Chief Black himself was willing to cooperate, but some official business matters couldn't be delayed either.

"That's simple. District 13 has Her Majesty the Queen now. And our Queen has a loyal and capable ninja legion. Why don't you ask Her Majesty to have her ninja help District 13 catch criminals?"

"That works too?"

"Why wouldn't it work?"

Broly's words surprised Chief Black. Out of trust in the boy, he cooperated: "Queen Xiao Yu, your kingdom is having some trouble. Some criminals running rampant are sabotaging things inside your country. I wonder if you could dispatch your ninja corps to help your subjects — that is, us — arrest those criminals running rampant?"

"No problem. I'll let those troublemakers know the power of my Black Shadow Corps!"

Xiao Yu in her Black Shadow Queen state didn't hesitate much and agreed directly.

And when Jackie Chan called District 13 this side seeking help from Chief Black, what he heard from Chief Black's mouth was the news that Xiao Yu had occupied District 13 and was having ninja help catch some criminals.

"What? I mean, Xiao Yu isn't making trouble?"

"Uh, Jackie Chan, I admit your niece is usually pretty mischievous. But right now, aside from making us address her as Queen Majesty, she hasn't given us any trouble. On the contrary, the Black Shadow Corps ninja she commands are very capable. We've already arrested some criminals."

Chief Black's words left Jackie Chan in the antique shop at a loss for words for a moment.

"Is Broly on your side too? Please let him talk to us."

"Broly, Jackie Chan wants you to take the phone."

Broly nodded, took Chief Black's cell phone, and went to one side.

"Everything's fine, Uncle Long. Although the mark amplifies mine and Xiao Yu's emotions, fundamentally good people won't turn too bad.

As for Xiao Yu being like this now, it's just because she's having a conflict with you guys. You've always treated her like a child, and that makes her very dissatisfied.

"Do you know, at school, Xiao Yu minds looking like an elementary student, and if someone mocks her for it, she'll be very unhappy."

"I'm sorry, but now……"

"Wait until Xiao Yu has vented her dissatisfaction and calmed down, then you can apologize to her."

Broly asked Jackie Chan to help Xiao Yu and himself take a few days off from school.

Seeing how excited Xiao Yu was directing the ninjas to arrest various criminals over there, she probably wouldn't be able to calm down without a few days.

"Your Holiness, this is the famous sculpture antique counterfeit master, Mr. Harold Jos."

After Afeng brought back the photo, he quickly brought back a counterfeit manufacturing expert according to Your Holiness's request.

"I heard you want me to sculpt some things, I don't know what they are?"

The counterfeit expert wearing a monocle and looking like a wealthy merchant asked.

"I hope you can sculpt a full-body statue of the boy in this photo, the more detailed the better."

The Holy Master possessing Walong took out Broly's photo and said.

"What, you invited me just to sculpt a statue for a child, hah, I'm an expert who specializes in antique counterfeits!"

The man shouted as if insulted.

"Two hundred thousand US dollars, is it enough?"

The Holy Master wasted no words, threw out a bag of Walong's money and asked.

"Speaking of which, Customer, you do have an eye, asking me, who can make antique statue counterfeits, to sculpt a full-body statue, don't worry, I guarantee to produce an effect that makes you feel it's worth every penny."

The counterfeit expert extended his hand, the Holy Master's mouth corner twitched, but he still shook hands with this frail human.

"Hopefully so."

Just as the words were finished, shadows appeared, a group of Black Shadow ninjas, right under the noses of the Black Hand Gang and the Holy Master and others, directly pressed the counterfeit expert to the ground and took him away, completely ignoring the two apprentices of the counterfeit expert who were scared silly nearby.

"What, the Black Shadow Corps is doing this?"

Seeing that the ninjas completely ignored them and left directly with the counterfeit expert, the Black Hand Gang and others, thinking their own matter of stealing talismans had been exposed, couldn't help but look at each other, and the most embarrassed one was undoubtedly Black Tiger Ah Fu, who had put on a stance, looking ready to fight, he was like a clown.

"It seems Jackie Chan and Broly's side are using ninja troops to do some strange things, their attention is currently not on us."

"But Your Holiness, the counterfeit expert we invited was arrested."

"Without a counterfeit expert, does that mean no one can sculpt a full-body statue?"

"I think we can complete the quest."

Just as the Holy Master was getting angry, the two apprentices who came with the counterfeit expert interrupted.

"You?"

"Yes, us, actually, our master doesn't make antique sculptures by hand much anymore, now the counterfeit antique sculptures on the market are made by us helping, your commission was taken by our master, in the end it's probably us two doing the work."

"Then how much payment do you want?"

"We don't want two hundred thousand, you give us one hundred thousand US dollars and it's fine."

"But I need an extremely exquisite statue."

"As long as there's enough time, we brothers can polish out a statue that's a one-to-one restoration of a real person."

"How long is needed?"

"If the Customer is willing to pay another fifty thousand US dollars, we brothers working all night only need six days."

"I'll give you all of it, the faster the better."

The counterfeit brothers looked at each other, faces showing joy, full of motivation.

The two people seemed not to care much about their master being arrested.

Of course, looking at their appearance, the payment they usually got for making counterfeits was probably not much either, they must have been exploited miserably.

Three days later, Xiao Yu, who had made the ninjas work on District 13's performance KPI for three months, finally calmed down inside.

And besides her skin turning purple-black and her clothing style becoming somewhat bold and mature, her figure still looked like an elementary student.

Broly saw the timing was about right, and also brought Jackie Chan and Old Man and others over.

"Broly, why did you bring them over?"

Xiao Yu, sitting on the most luxurious sheriff chair in District 13, saw Broly bringing Jackie Chan and the others in, and couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Yu, we're here to apologize to you."

Jackie Chan explained.

"I won't accept it."

Xiao Yu directly refused.

"Don't be like this, Xiao Yu, you're now the Black Shadow Queen, and as the noble Queen Her Majesty, you shouldn't be so narrow-minded, Long Shu and Old Man and them really recognized their own mistakes, coming to say sorry to you."

Broly persuaded.

"Sorry, Xiao Yu, we shouldn't have disrespected your thoughts, privately imposing our thoughts on you, please forgive me."

"And Old Man."

"And Tru."

Jackie Chan, Old Man, Tru three people sincerely apologized.

Xiao Yu in the Black Shadow Queen state, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, her originally somewhat red eyes gradually returned to normal.

"Then do you still plan to wash off my mark?"

She asked.

"No, this is your freedom, look, this is the Cleaning Demon Potion Old Man made, they're all here."

Jackie Chan put the potions on the ground.

"Alright, Broly's right. As the Black Shadow Queen, I shouldn't be petty. Since you've all realized your mistakes and apologized to me, then I'll forgive you. Long Shu, Old Dad, Tru, you're still my family."

As Xiao Yu spoke, she looked at the Cleaning Demon Potion on the ground.

"As for this stuff, just have the ninja pour it out directly."

Just as the ninja was about to throw away the Cleaning Demon Potion, Broly hurriedly stopped its behavior.

"Don't, I still need this."

"Broly, what do you want the Cleaning Demon Potion for?"

Xiao Yu frowned and asked.

"That's naturally to wash away the mark in my hand."

"What, you want to betray me, betray the Black Shadow Kingdom?"

"No, I just feel this mark belongs to someone else, I'm a bit unaccustomed to using other people's things. I plan to use the Black Shadow Corps' template to create a corps belonging to myself."

Broly washed away the mark in his palm. He lost the ability to summon and command the Black Shadow Corps, but he quickly used his own Qi to imitate the Black Shadow Corps ninja's framework, and used his own Qi to summon a group of ninjas wearing white clothes.

"The Black Shadow Corps uses dark power, while the corps I created uses my own power, plus a bit of light power. I'll call it the White Shadow Corps. Xiao Yu, how about it?"

"Uh, looks not bad."

"Then do you want a matching one?"

Broly shook the Cleaning Demon Potion in his hand and asked. The Black Shadow Queen Xiao Yu fell into hesitation. The dark power seemed to want her to refuse.

"I haven't decided on the White Shadow Corps' mark yet. Do you think a Hamburger mark is good, or a French Fries mark?"

"Oh no, both of those are no good, simply terrible."

"Then are there any good friends willing to help me set a sufficiently cool mark?"

"Of course there are. I'll come help right now."

Xiao Yu no longer hesitated. She took the Cleaning Demon Potion from Broly's hand and poured it on her own leg. The Black Shadow Corps ninjas around her began to dissipate.

"Uh, Long Shu, I feel like I had a very long dream. Not a very bad dream, but it seems it wasn't very good either."

Xiao Yu returned to normal. She felt a bit embarrassed, like a child who had done something bad.

"Welcome back, my Queen."

"Broly, can you not call me by this address?"

"Haha, anyway, Xiao Yu, you being fine is better than anything. As for the other matters, let's all just forget them together!"

Long Shu had no intention of blaming Xiao Yu. Old Dad and Tru didn't either. And in this matter, they truly realized their own mistakes. They shouldn't have disrespected her thoughts just because Xiao Yu is a child.

"Your Majesty the Queen, where did the ninja soldiers go?"

And at this time, Captain Black walked over. He was still immersed in the ninja soldiers' efficient work efficiency.

"Oh heavens, this won't become my future nickname, will it?"

Xiao Yu's mood was somewhat terrible. Like a Middle School Syndrome past the Middle School Syndrome period, thinking of the scene where she might often have her black history dug up by people around her in the future.

Of course, being forgiven, not being blamed by Long Shu and the others for causing trouble by acting up, remembering Broly's correct guidance of herself during the abnormal period.

These things still made Xiao Yu feel happy.

She felt incomparably fortunate to have family like Long Shu, Old Dad, Tru, and to have met a good friend like Broly.
