    -


    "Ya''ll act like it''s difficult to insult people." Kiera scoffed in annoyance, "But fine, whatevs. I''ll give you an insult masterss.


    Let''s start with the obvious. If you call someone a cunt, nothing you add before or after will change that you called them a cunt.


    Big cunt, small cunt, petty cunt, tall cunt. Swollen cunt, hairy cunt, cunt runt, cunt mutt.


    It doesn''t matter if it''s positive or negative. In fact, assuming it''s genuine, the kinder the modifier is, the more savage it bes."


    "The kinder it is?" Kylie asked, furrowing her brows, "That sounds counterintuitive."


    "Let''s try it out." The ng smirked, pointing at Moe, La, and Kylie, "You''re a stupid cunt, you''re a nosey cunt, you''re a… uh… um… half-likable cunt? Like scratching a brutal itch."


    The wavy-haired brte''s face heated up in abnormal bitterness.


    "Ob~serve." Kiera announced, presenting her hands to Kylie with a [ta-dah!] motion, "While ''Silent H'' Moe scoffed and rolled her eyes, the person with the strongest reaction despite having the most positive insult was… drumroll please, KYLIE!"


    Her sarcastic enthusiasm reminded them of what they had asked for.


    "Since you noobnders don''t get it, let''s discuss. Ahem." Kiera coughed cutely into her hand, "While [stupid cunt] sounds like a low-grade insult, [half-likable cunt] implies that you carefully assessed their personality and [discovered] they were a cunt."


    "No way…." La replied, "It''s strange thinking about it like that. It''s like building people up so the fall is further."


    "Right?" Marilyn giggled, looking at Kylie, stewing bitterly, "I''m~curious. Where did you get the term [noobnder]? How does your brain think this stuff up?"


    "How''s smashing two words together different than creating a term with two words?" Kiera asked in confusion, "You''re still talking about root words.


    Everyone knows what the word [noob] means, right? Noobie, greenhorn, useless-as-fuck person?"


    They giggled at her third descriptor and nodded.


    "That''s the root." The ng riddler lectured, "No matter what you say before or after that, it won''t change the word. You can make it random as you want.


    Noobcake. Noobke. Noobnugget. Noobfeather. Noob-sickle-stick. Anything.


    While it doesn''t matter what you say, relevant modifiersmunicate your ideas and enhance their impact.


    ''Evalyn is a noobmancer training culti-noobs who begged for a taste of the noobpocalypse. Now she has to hide her nooblets from the Immortal Skye noob yers, or they''ll get bitch pped with a satisfying dose of noobicide.'' See? It''s not thatplicated."


    "That''s fascinating." La remarked in a haze, "Still, you need to have arge diction to break apart words like that, right? It''s strange because ng users usually don''t haverge vocabries."


    "That''s what separates Kiera from others." Marilyn giggled, "Her vocabry is as strong or stronger than Kaze''s, but she speaks like this regardless. It drives him insane."


    "Wait, you''re being serious?" Addison said in bafflement, "You''re saying she has a vocabry on par with the Lost Emperor of Antiquity?"


    "Don''t take my word for it." The sexy brte giggled, "Kiera, describe Kaze using words that start with S."


    "What, am I your sideshow attraction?" The ng riddler huffed indignantly.


    "You don''t want to?" Marilyn smiled mysteriously, "I thought you''d jump on the chance to tell these [culti-noobs] what type of person your man is. Am I wrong?"


    "Kazey''s S-ss." Kiera pouted, realizing she had a duty-bound obligation toply, "From a talent perspective, he''s spellbinding, startling, shocking, and stupefying. He constantly stuns people with his sublime, spectacr might.


    Inwardly, he''s secretive, emotionally secluded, and selective with those he shares with.


    However, outwardly, he''s scious, scandalous, sensual, seducing, and sly."


    The women burst into giggles, dying from the hyper-urate description of Kaze Lexicon.


    "There''s a lot of relevant words that start with S that describe this guy…." Moe whispered in puzzlement, "You could practically call him Mr. S."


    "Emperor [Lexicon]." The ng riddler scoffed, "One letter isn''t enough to describe someone so godly, so the lesser gods blessed him with the name [lexicon]—use it."


    "Case in point." Marilyn giggled amusedly, "While normal people see ast name, she''lly down middle ages history behind words to prove her point. Give Kiera a random letter."


    "C." La requested excitedly.


    "Cut the crap and kill yourself, cunt; I''m busy culling the Kaze-crushing cultists, so be a champ, call it a night, and cuddle with a moving car." Kiera scoffed savagely, "Capish?"


    "And there goes the alliteration." Kylie sighed, looking at La''s gobsmacked expression, "Consider yourself lucky, girl. Usually, when the a-traines to town, people get nicknames."


    "Nicknames?" Moe asked nervously.


    "Yeah…." The wavy-haired brte confirmed bitterly, "She''s creative with them.


    Last week I was Cost-a-[Nickel] Nicky; this week, she promoted me to Ten-Shilling Sally. If I work really hard, I think I''ll move up to Dor Store Dolly by the end of the month."


    "Don''t be dramatic; if you stay away from Kazey, you''ll insta-level like a pro." Kiera argued seriously, "You''ll skyrocket past Wants-to-Live Lisa andnd on Good-Choice Karen.


    However, I''ll anoint you [Debbie Drowner] tonight if you don''t stopining."


    "See?" Kylie asked lifelessly with depleted eyes, "It''s the worst."


    "Well, I love the way you speak." La said with a fascinated expression.


    "Ummm… sure, whatevs." Kiera blushed bashfully, turning away, "But stop looking at me like that."


    The blonde''s star-struck eyes snapped back to normal, and she turned away embarrassedly. "Sorry."


    "Before we move off the subject, what''s the secret behind analogies?" Addison asked curiously, "I struggle to find relevant analogies, but you seem to throw them around like candy."


    Marilyn and Kylie''s eyes sparked with interest again, and La and Moe''s ears perked up.


    "That''s because you''re trying to find analogies to exin abstract concepts." Kiera replied dryly, "Love''s a fire that burns through everything you let it touch. Your time, finances, and ambitions.


    It''s better to devote yourself to secluded chastity, the cooling waterfall that keeps life calm until your shining protag arrives."<novelnext></novelnext>


    The ng riddler used a pretentious voice to grandly throw around sarcastic metaphors,pletely defeating her uing argument. It left everyone blinking, unenthused.


    "By contrast, I pick a random word and create a concrete image around it." Kiera exined, "For example, I''ll cut off your pencil dick and sign your death warrant with it.


    You take the insult modifier and give it a literal use case."


    "That''s all?" Kylie furrowed her brows, "You don''t think this stuff ahead of time?"


    "No~pe." The fiery teen smacked, "I''ll prove it. Pick a word, and I''ll create an insult with an analogy."


    "Shoestrings." Moe said quickly.


    "I''ll rip out your jugr veins and use them as shoestrings. " Kiera replied instantaneously, triggering giggles.


    "Canoe." Addison smiled excitedly.


    "Climb a rapid and drown, you wide-holed vag canoe." The ng riddler replied at equal speed.


    "Apple." Marilyn smiled amusedly.


    "While I''m certain you could swallow an apple, you can''t handle Kazey''s seed." Kiera sneered, eyes narrowed.


    "Receipt." Lalya grinned.


    "You''re worth so little on the floozy market that the IRS wouldn''t tax your body." The ng riddler smiled viciously.


    The entire bathhouse erupted inughter.


    "Kaze." Kylie smirked maliciously.


    "You''re such a slut that even Kazey won''t advocate for your rights and virtues." Kiera replied dryly.


    The brte shut down instantly, expecting a flustered rant, not a crushing insult. Naturally, the insult wasn''t true, but it was savage, considering Kaze''s rhetoric.


    "This is crazy to watch." Moe said with wide eyes, "I can''t even think that fast."


    "You''re just trying too hard." Kiera said, "Insults are simple math forms with interchangeable variables.


    Kazey often uses a variation of [You''re Disagreeable, You Modifier Insult!]. Observe."


    The ng riddler coughed cutely and busted out her famous, dramatically-pretentious [Emperor Lexicon] impersonation, speaking with a puffed-out chest.


    "You''re despicable, you uncouth swine!" Kiera gruffed pompously, triggering a wave of delightedughter, "There''s the insult; now let''s exchange the variables.


    You''re despicable, you [detestable] swine!


    You''re despicable, you detestable [primate]!


    You''re [contemptible], you detestable primate!"


    Kaze''s partners burst intoughter, hearing the full transformation.


    "So you just need to add an insult to any phrase, and it bes swappable?" La asked curiously.


    "No~pe." The ng riddler smacked, shaking her head, "It''s not the insult that makes the pattern insulting—it''s the word [you]. That shit cuts deep."


    "Wait what?" Marilyn asked confusedly, "Can we get an example?"


    Kiera nodded, closed her eyes, and wiggled her body, getting back into character. Then she opened her eyes with a fierce gaze and authoritative voice. "You''re surprisingly articte, [you] unfrosted toaster pastry!"


    Everyone burst intoughter, sshing around the Roman-style bath in their birthday suits. Hearing Kaze''s arrogant demeanor and voice used for the childish insult was too much to bear.


    "Please apprentice me!" La cried, clutching her stomach, "I beg of you!"


    "Not a chance." The ng riddler replied bluntly, "Urban Dictionary''s gonzo because hashtag apocalypse. So keep it simple, or give it up, girl."


    "Keep it simple?" The blonde asked, hope flickering in her eyes, "What do you mean?"


    "Just add incest-bred before [literally anything]." Kiera replied tersely, "If you heard anything I just said, you''d know it''ll pop out a savage insta-insult."


    "Incest-bred cultivator, incest-bred soldier, incest-bred woman, incest-bred ass kisser…." La muttered to herself, counting on her fingers, "You''re right… that''s brutal."


    All the women giggled at her surprised reaction.


    "You''re clever, you incest-bred Kaze-lover." Marilyn giggled, gazing amusedly at the pink-haired teen.


    "Call me an incest-bred cunt if you want, but keep Kaze out of it!" Kiera snapped, standing up and pointing at the sexy ex-flight attendant.


    "You''re rather meticulous with shaving, Kiera." Addison giggled, looking at the teen''s lower half, "I can always wax you if you stop by the salon."


    "I-I… uh…." Kiera looked down, and her naked body heated up, turning red like a thermometer as she stuttered, "I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!"


    The fiery teen pulled back her hand for an attack, triggering PTSD symptoms in Moe and La. That was natural, considering that Kiera idently blew up the [skyscraper] they were sleeping in only a day before!


    However, Marilyn was prepared for the murderous scenario and rushed the naked teen.


    "W-What are you—hah! Haha! Hahahaha! Stop! Stop!" Kiera cried when the sexy brte grabbed the lethal teen''s stomach and tickled her.


    SPLASH! Ssh! "WAIT! Ssh! SPLASH! "I''ll fucking—" Ssh! "Hahaha!" SPLASH! "STOP!"


    The women giggled at the adorable ng riddler crashing around the water.


    While Kiera was strong enough to ughter all of them, she didn''t.


    The murderous yandere would eradicate anyone threatening Kaze Lexicon without thinking. However, otherwise, she was Kiera London Snow, Immortal Skye''s beloved tsundere princess, reigning supreme in the apocalypse.
