Chapter 45

Lolita Drumstick [洛丽塔鸡腿 Luò Lì Tǎ Jī Tuǐ] is the forty-fifth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Xiao Jian, a sleeper agent from the Underworld greets Xi Sha in the human world. When asked by the girl for his identity, he introduces himself and his occupation as a spy who has long resided in the human world, and that he was tasked to serve Xi Sha. Xi Sha approves to have him be her servant and guide. Xiao Jian then reminds her to not massacre the human world, as per Yan Wen's orders, with Xi Sha agreeing that she has no time to deal with peasants and orders him to take her to the guardians. As they are about to depart however, Xi Sha spots a lolita-style dress and is immediately entranced by its beauty. Desiring the dress, Xi Sha prepares to break the glass around it and take it. Xiao Jian stops her and informs her that in the human world, one must pay money for something if they want it. Xi Sha then orders him to buy it for her, since he has been living in the human world for a long time. Some time later, a joyous Xi Sha dressed in the clothes once again praises its beauty while Xiao Jian weeps that the dress cost him a month's worth of his salary. The two then leave for Xiahou High School.

After a while, the two arrive at the high school. Xiao Jian informs Xi Sha that she will meet the guardians if she finds the student council. Xi Sha wonders why her servant is acting nervous and moving around stealthily instead of leading the way. Xiao Jian replies that his lowly status makes him fearful of entering territory belonging to the Department of Night. Xi Sha calls him useless in response and enters the school by herself, with Xiao Jian mentally lamenting being called useless despite spending so much of his money. Xi Sha eventually finds two students and asks them where the student council is. The two male students tell her to keep walking straight and make a left at the end. As she walks away from them, they comment on her cuteness.

Somewhere in the school under a tree, Ye Yan leisurely remarks if there is anything more wonderful than sleeping during recess while wearing a giant drumstick sleeping headgear. Xi Sha approaches the tree and is shocked upon seeing this.
