Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 914: Chapter 453: How Could You Be So Selfish!!? (Thunderous Voice!)

Herbert looked at the familiar mist coming into view, his lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled, "I’ve been wandering outside for so long, it’s time to go back."

"Hehe, I wonder if they missed me."

...

...

Two days later.

Mist Monastery.

The first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the mist, falling on the ancient walls of the monastery.

Thud, thud, thud.

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the underground.

"Ha..."

The burly man’s smooth head reflected the bright light in the morning light,

The sudden burst of brightness instantly caught the attention of the surrounding cultivators, who, after a brief moment of surprise, immediately bowed their heads and saluted the burly man.

"Lord Bishop."

"Your Excellency Chief Judge."

They bowed their heads, respectfully expressing their admiration to the weary figure.

The cultivators knew that this lord had been guarding underground for a long time, enduring hardships in that darkness that ordinary people could not understand.

Yet the Chief Judge paid no mind to the others’ salutes; he simply looked up wistfully, "gazing" at the rising morning sun above.

He forcefully spread his arms wide, lifting them high under the sun, basking in the long-lost warmth.

"Mmm—ha!"

The Chief Judge stretched his body forcefully, then let out a long sigh, murmuring to himself, "Finally... I’m finally out, it was suffocating me!"

It was suffocating.

I swear, it was really suffocating!

The cultivators, seeing the pained expression on the Chief Judge’s face, felt their respect deepen.

However, what these cultivators didn’t know was that the real reason behind the Chief Judge’s frustration had little to do with their assumptions, if at all.

Compared to the boring solitude before the sanctuary, the repeated interruptions when trying to speak were the true torment.

And it wasn’t just once.

Twice!

For heaven’s sake, twice!

If the person interrupting him hadn’t been the Ashen Bishop, whom he greatly respected, he would have burst out in anger.

This kind of frustration might not kill him, but it could drive him mad!

The Chief Judge spent some time basking in the sunlight, praising the sun, finally feeling like he had returned to the human world, his spirits restored to normal.

"Alright, let’s just let the past go. Next time I see that boy, I must have a proper talk with him... hmm?"

As he was thinking, the Chief Judge suddenly noticed a familiar patch of white entering his "vision."

Hey?

"Herbert?"

"Hmm?"

Stopped in his tracks, Herbert greeted the Chief Judge with a smile, "Your Excellency Chief Judge, long time no see. Haven’t inquired for a while, how’s your health?"

It really is him!

The Chief Judge, overjoyed, strode over and draped an arm around the young man’s shoulder, chuckling, "You’re asking about my health? Haha, what could be wrong with my health!"

He instinctively tugged, intending to lead Herbert toward the Judgement Hall, but to his surprise, he didn’t manage to pull him along at first.

Hmm?

What’s going on?

And just as he was puzzled, Herbert had already caught up with his pace, walking alongside him.

Though a bit strange, the Chief Judge didn’t pay much mind to this little detail.

At this moment, he devoted all his energy to one thing.

Chatting!

I swear, I must discuss with him all the things we hadn’t talked about before!

"By the way, last time we had something to talk about, and hadn’t... shhh!"

But just as he was starting to bring up those long-anticipated topics with Herbert, the Chief Judge paused slightly as if with PTSD, guiltily glancing back, seemingly waiting for something.

"...Hmm?"

No, is there really not?

But even as he anxiously waited for a while, he didn’t hear the Ashen Bishop’s voice, scratching his bald head in confusion.

Hey?

This time, won’t Your Excellency interrupt?

Seeing him in such a pitiable state, Herbert chuckled to himself and took the initiative, "Your Excellency Chief Judge, are you worried that the Guardian would suddenly call me away?"

"Well, I, uh, kind of... yes, somewhat worried."

The Chief Judge, feeling a bit embarrassed, reluctantly admitted his concern.

Not exaggerating, this had almost become a psychological trauma for the Chief Judge.

And facing this pathetic leader, Herbert considerately reassured him, "Haha, no need to worry this time, for I just came from there."

"Moreover, beforehand, I made sure to report to the Knight Commander, just waiting to report to you."

Herbert’s gentle smile made the Chief Judge, bathed in this radiant smile, feel warmth in his heart.

Look! Just look!

This is a good kid!

So considerate!

You guys took Herbert from the Judgement Hall; you really got lucky!

"Alright, since they’re not here to bother us, I’ll take my time to chat this time, haha... huh?"

But, just as the Chief Judge was ready to have a heartfelt conversation with his excellent worker, he suddenly felt the boy he was holding... suddenly float up.

Hmm?

Taking off?

"How are you flying... uh, wait!"

It’s not Herbert who is flying on his own, someone is controlling his body.

Who!!!?

Who is trying to take Herbert away from me?

Who!?

The Chief Judge’s eyes under the blindfold flashed with anger, glaring at the direction from which the force came.

"Who is..."

Then, the Chief Judge froze.

There, not elsewhere—was exactly the Underground Sanctuary he just rotated away from.

The seal was revolting?

No... that’s not right!

"No! You can’t!"

He finally realized—who in this Monastery has such ability, who can directly yank a Cultivator away, who can do something so extreme...

It’s him! It’s him! It’s definitely him!

"Lord Archbishop! No! You can’t do this!"

At that moment, the Chief Judge, for the third time grabbed away in person, broke down trying to reach for Herbert, attempting to hold him back.

But just like all those shows, at every crucial moment, the hero always messes up a little.

He reached into thin air.

The Chief Judge felt his body stiffen, unable to move a step forward.

He could only watch helplessly as Herbert drifted towards the Underground Sanctuary, witnessing the boy give him an apologetic, helpless smile.

No!

Wow, don’t show that expression with your teeth!

The Chief Judge stood frozen in place, still holding his hand up in a daze.

A moment later, he finally came to his senses, gaining freedom in his body.

At that instant, the Chief Judge’s expression twisted, kneeling down, head bowed, he wailed mournfully.

"No!!!"

"You can’t!!!"

"How can you be so selfish—"

Moo!

Moo—

...

...

Underground Sanctuary.

Herbert, forcibly yanked over, sat in front of the Archbishop, twitching his mouth, barely suppressing his uncontrollable laughter, coughed lightly, and said with a straight face:

"Your Grace, well, cough cough... I feel it’s somewhat excessive to treat the Chief Judge like this."

You guys, these old Dengs, you can’t always pick on an honest person to bully.

Next time, tease the Knight Commander more, see if you can make his rusty nails pop off...

"Excessive?"

The Archbishop looked indifferent, gazing at Herbert, and snorted coldly: "I think compared to the things you’ve done, this hardly counts as excessive."

Hmm?

Herbert’s brow furrowed slightly, not quite understanding what the Archbishop meant.

What things are you talking about?

...Um, Lord Archbishop, which one exactly are you referring to?

Is it the incident involving Harmonious God? Or planning to spread Sun Goddess rumors? Or secretly hiding a Magic Energy Cannon? Or... cough cough!

Oh dear, being too outstanding means doing too many things, it’s getting a bit overwhelming.

So, which one exactly are you referring to?

The Archbishop watched Herbert in silent contemplation, snorted coldly and continued coldly: "Herbert, do you know what the biggest mistake you made outside is?"

"You..."

The Archbishop looked deeply at Herbert who showed no remorse, his face turning heavy, he spoke with difficulty: "When you encountered danger outside, why... why didn’t you call for me!!?"

"Seek me out!"

"As a member of the Monastery, rather than asking others for help, shouldn’t you have thought of me first!!?"

Angry Old Deng stared furiously at Herbert, his voice cracking in pain and disappointment:

"How can you be so selfish!!?"

Herbert: ¿
