“I…! Weier, this is for your good, you haven’t walked out of the school gates, so you don’t understand this. Once you walk out of the school gates, you are foreign here, and don’t have much financial basis, do you want to suffer with this brat!” Zhang Tianyang said.

“So, according to you, as long as your family is not in Yanjing, after graduation, you’ll always suffer?” I sneered after hearing that.

“I didn’t say that, but someone like you who only knows how to trick girls with flowery words might!” Zhang Tianyang was clearly dissatisfied with me interrupting his impassioned words towards Chen Weier.

“I’ll give you ten seconds, f̲u̲c̲k̲ off, I don’t want to see you ever again!” I had no interest to b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲ with this sort of people anyways, since pursuing girls in university was his right, and I can’t interfere with his freedom. However, I hated this sort of people that raises their status and push down that of others’ just because they have a bit of basis, since he was focusing me all the time, I had no need to act courteous with him.

“Aiyo? You dare to act cocky with me?” Zhang Tianyang didn’t think that the first year student in front of him dared to threaten him. No matter what, he was the President of the StarCraft Society at Huaxia University, someone who was rather famous in the computing faculty, when has he been treated like this. He immediately got pissed and swore while pointing at me, “Brat, don’t not take face when given it, if you want to continue in the computing faculty, then you better shut up, and don’t act like a b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲! I’m telling you, the faculty leader of computing has a great relationship, a sentence from me can cause you to be kicked out! I really don’t know how to got into Huaxia, however, from your appearance, you probably won’t starve after graduation. I misjudged just now, you should be pretty popular if you go and be a male prostitute at nightclubs?”

“Three seconds left!” I looked at my watch and said. “Two seconds, one second.” Then I raised my head, looked expressionlessly towards Zhang Tianyang and said, “Times up, you’re still within my sights.”

With that, I lifted my right foot lightly, causing Zhang Tianyang’s body to shoot out like a super ultra cannonball, passing through the entrance of the restaurant, directly crashing onto the other side of the road without stopping.

The strength I used was very small, since this person didn’t have any major grudge with me, there was no need of me to completely f̲u̲c̲k̲ him over. What’s more, Yanjing wasn’t Songjiang, and it isn’t my territory, I had no power in neither the legal side or illegal side. I wasn’t scared of anything, but if I push him against the corner, causing him to hurt the people around me in secret, then that’s not worth it at all.

The people that came with Zhang Tianyang was originally chuckled, suddenly seeing Zhang Tianyang flew away, they were shocked, and only reacted after a while. Only then, did one of them stand up and shout, “Hey, why did you hit people?”

“I didn’t hit him, I just taught him a lesson,” I said plainly.

“You! Heng, you are also a student in Huaxia University, right, which faculty, which class are you from?” One of the students wearing glasses said.

“I know, I saw him at Feiyu with Zhang Tianyang today, this brat said that he’s in the same class with Chu Gao, he seems to be called something like Liu Lei, President Li, you have to reflect this to the school, you can’t let this brat continue acting lawlessly like this!” The first person that stood up hurriedly answered.

“That’s right! Daring to hit the genius student in our computing faculty, I think he probably doesn’t want to go to school at Huaxia anymore, as the computing faculty’s student council president, I will definitely reflect this to the faculty!” The student with glasses nodded.

“President Li, let’s not waste our breath with this brat, hurry up and see how Zhang Tianyang is, since we know what this brat is called, are we still afraid of him running away, let’s talk care of him slowly when we get back!” Another student said.

“Heng heng! Very well, listen up, the one called Liu Lei, just wait for your punishment!” The glasses wearing student, also known as President Li, said, then walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing that President Li’s prideful look, he clearly wasn’t anything good, he might just be like Zhang Tianyang, who acts cockily just because he has some sort of position at school. Although he hasn’t gotten to the point of beating up students, this gang of people were definitely a cocky bunch. Otherwise, as the student council president of a faculty, how could he be biased towards one side without finding out the situation and tell the other side to wait for his punishment.

I couldn’t be bothered to waste my breath with these people, thus I said, “Do whatever you want, I’ll be free any time!” Then I suddenly thought of something, so I raised my hand and said, “President Li, wait a bit!”

Hearing that I called him, President Li thought I thought it through and wanted to submit, thus he turned around with an air on arrogance and said, “What else is there?”

“Tell that Zhang Tianyang, I keep my promises, if I see him again bullshitting with me, I will kick him again!” I said with a peaceful sounding tone.

“You! You f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g…” President Li wanted to swear, but once he thought about he is a student council president, and this might become dirt on him, he quickly stopped himself and said, “I will tell him, I’m just afraid that you won’t have the chance to continue staying at Huaxia University! Our Huaxia University doesn’t welcome mule students like you!”

I smiled faintly and didn’t say anything. I think that even if I wanted to drop out, the school wouldn’t agree! There has never been a single student that got such a high grade in the national matriculation exam ever since it was put into use in 1978, I think that the moment I step out of Huaxia University, a lot of other universities would immediately fight over my entry, this would most likely deal a huge blow to Huaxia University’s reputation as well.

After those people left, Chen Weier asked strangely, “Hubby, why did your temper improve so much?” In recent years, Chen Weier has been going to school in Yanjing, although she would return to Songjiang every holiday, she wasn’t with me every day, and nothing special happened, and that’s why she felt really strange about my current change in temper.

Zhao Yanyan didn’t think it was anything special and just looked at me with a smile.

“En,” I nodded without denying anything. When I was just reborn at the age of high school, I always wanted to get a chance to let out all the stress built up in my previous life, so I often did things that I didn’t dare to do before. As time moved on, this desire gradually dampened.

Back then, I came back from the dead and returned to my high school days, so I always had an indescribable desire to let everything out. That’s why I always got into fights with these worthless people. Now, especially after gaining these powers, I no longer wanted to care about these worthless people. When your enemies are beyond weak in front of you, you would no longer care about them.

“Big bro Akatsuki, long time no see! So, what can we do for you today?”

　The female hobbit thief, Pick who returned came over to greet me.
　Outwardly she looks like an innocent little girl as always.
　If you know what’s inside it’s fine but if you don’t you’ll get completely deceived by this.

“Yeah, I have some work for you so I came over to meet you.”

“Eh, you wanted to see me? I’m happy”

　For some reason, Bass and Drum were staring at us while Pick kept on grinning.
　She was acting like she didn’t notice Bass and Drum.

“As I thought it’s like that, huh? Big bro Akatsuki and I were perfectly in sync at that time with the Troll after all.”

“Hey, Pick, don’t be so impudent and call the Head big bro”

“That’s right, please say something as well, Head, she can’t use that kind of tone.”

“Hehe, though it was big bro Akatsuki who said, “You’re my little sister so call me like this”. Right, Big. Bro?”⌈1⌋

　Well, I certainly told you to say this when people would ask you.
　Even so, I also told you not to act so familiarly.

“Your lock-picking skills are necessary for this job”

“What kind of job is it?”

Seeming interested, Drum and Bass both seriously listened.

“We took the Labyrinth exploration quest. It’s S rank.”

“Is that true?! Will big sis Crescent Moon also go?”

“This time Crescent Moon and also the magician Knopf will come with us”

“I want to go! Big bro Akatsuki, Big sis Crescent Moon and Knopf-san, with those members we are the strongest!”⌈2⌋

“Is that so? Then come to the adventurer’s guild tomorrow morning.”

　I intended to return now that I finished my business here but then I noticed that my seniors looked like they wanted to say something.

“You guys, is there something wrong?”

“Head, isn’t that a little too much?”

“That’s right, that’s right, why is it just that fellow? Moreover, even though she looks like a kid she’s already quite old, you know?”⌈3⌋

　What, why are they getting angry at me for choosing Pick?

“What’s with you? Being old doesn’t really matter! Generally, it’s Big bro’s and the other’s job.”

“Only you move out with the head, isn’t that too cunning?”

“Besides, since this job is already stable it’s alright if we aren’t there.”

　Hey, hey, don’t fight for such a reason.

“Head, please. Leave this place to Bass and please take me with you.”

“Hey, Drum, what do you think you are doing?! Head, please take this one- -”

　Jeez, two big, old men acting selfishly like children.
　Well, it should be fine if it’s just a few more people.
　But Crescent Moon might start complaining because her reward share will decrease.

“I don’t particularly mind taking you but is really everything going well here?”

“Yes, there are the things I told the Head a while ago when you came back but there are no particular problems.”

“As I said before, there are already three people in my group but there’s only one reward, would it still be enough if I take you with me?”

“As it’s an S ranked dungeon it should be enough. Please, take me with you, okay~?”⌈4⌋

　Bass senpai, even if you try talking in a sweet voice it’s not cute at all!

“Well, can’t be helped, so please properly arrange everything till tomorrow”

“Yes, I’ll tell that guy, Flute”

　Ah, that guy with the name which doesn’t fit in.⌈5⌋

“Then come to the adventurer’s guild tomorrow morning, you three. Don’t be late.”

“All right. Hehe, I wonder what snacks I should take with me.”

You, this isn’t a field trip!

　When I went to the guild the next morning everyone already gathered.
　Crescent Moon seemed to be complaining to the Rabbit Group’s members.

“Sorry I kept you waiting”

“Hey, Mister Akatsuki, is it true that you want to take those guys with us?!”

“No, Big sis⌈6⌋ Crescent Moon, don’t say that”

“That’s right, we’ll work hard.”

　As expected, my seniors feel deep gratitude towards Crescent Moon as well.

“Well, isn’t it fine? If we explore the S-type labyrinth our baggage will increase so I think it’s fine.”

“Ah, no, well, you’re right……”

　When the cat girl magician Knopf tried to mediate Crescent Moon gave in.
　For Crescent Moon Knopf is like an absolute weakness.

“Head, it somehow looks like Big sis Crescent Moon is acting reserved in front of this little magician girl.”

　Bass-senpai whispered to me in a low voice.
　Pretty observant, that senior.

“It seems like Knopf’s way of fighting had a big impact on her the last time.”

“Heeh, on that big sis Crescent Moon? She doesn’t look like it, but is this young girl actually amazing?”

“Big bro Bass, you shouldn’t judge someone by their appearance. That magician instantly killed a Troll with one magic spell I never saw before.”

　Pick is right.
　Seniors, don’t get blown away by Knopf.
　I feel scared when imagining Knopf’s boosted magic exploding in the labyrinth’s narrow corridors.

“Head, we prepared these horses for this occasion.”

　As expected, Drum is solid.
　In times like this, he’s reliable.

“Then, shall we leave? The destination is the Mcbell Earldom.

　We started galloping on our horses.
　Though it’s a trotting speed as it’s a considerable distance.
　The Mcbell Earldom is located in the far south of Carlo’s territory.
　It seems like the population is concentrated in valleys and flatland surrounded by mountains.

“Speaking of the Mcbell Earldom, I heard Kouga village is located there.”

　While Drum was riding beside me he started to talk.

“Hoh, do you know about the shadow corps?”

“That’s because we are in the same line of work, needs a thief to know a thief kind of.”

　Bass also joined in into our conversation.

“The shadow corps? That sounds kind of scary.”

　Knopf didn’t seem like she heard of them.
　By the way, I had Knopf ride behind Crescent Moon.
　Thanks to that Crescent Moon didn’t have her usual force behind her.

“The shadow corps is an organisation specialised in underground work such as killing people destroying things and spreading or gathering information. It’s said that their headquarters, Kouga village, is in the Mcbell Earldom.”

　Crescent Moon’s attitude towards her is completely different than towards me.
　She gave her information free of charge.

“Did you have any connection with the shadow corps?”

“I didn’t. I just heard some rumours.”

“We didn’t have any direct contact with them either.”

　Even though they are in the same line of work the Rabbit Group isn’t as severe as the Shadow corps.
　If an opponent defeats them losing means dying.

“I had some fights with them from time to time. I got my revenge each time.”

　If it’s Crescent moon I somehow feel like it’s possible.
　But every time, you said. How many times did that happen?
Then is it really fine for you to go to such a place?

“That somewhat sounds like a frightening place. I’m kind of scared.”

“No, for me your magic is more……”

　I heard Crescent Moon muttering without Knopf behind her hearing it.
　Yeah, that air gun was pretty frightening, huh?
　Well, the only firearm they know in this world are bows so I know it’s impossible for them to know about this but I do.

“When will we arrive?”

“If we continue like this I think we’ll be there in four days.”

　As long as four days, to be honest, I’m sick and tired of this.
　I wasn’t a person who was going out much in the first place.
　There was also the thing that I didn’t have any friends to hang out with.
　So I spend my days reading light novels and manga, playing games and making figurines for fun inside my house.
　I never thought something like this would happen in my life.⌈7⌋

　When it was night we would camp outside to take a rest.
　Since the three members of the Rabbit group said they would take turns standing guard I left it to them.
　I wonder if it was a good idea to take them with us like this.
　They told me something like the Head shouldn’t be doing this and then they took my baggage and carried it for me.

　Like this, the journey towards the labyrinth went smoothly.

Hikari was getting impatient. For the past week, Guang, Lux, and herself have been searching around the city for clues about the mysterious people who finished their mission for them. The Vatican didn’t know anything about it, nor does the local church. The only unusual thing that had happened were several areas that had an abnormally high trace of demonic magic. Those were the places they investigated first, and out of the ones that stood out were a mountain beside a school, the art museum, and a back alleyway. These places only stood out because it was unknown who had dealt with these high levels of demonic magic, which usually indicated the existence of a demon in that area. These three places were the only places that did not have their case resolved by someone known. All the other ones were either resolved by local exorcists or were the results of the experiments conducted by local magicians.

However, despite knowing this, it didn’t put them any closer to identifying the mysterious person. They could not connect any dots between these three places, and the traces of demonic magic was also different in each place, so the mysterious person being a demonic being or a person that had access to demonic magic was unlikely.

“Have you found anything yet?” Hikari asked Guang who was on several laptops at once.

He was once again running through the current information they had on multiple databases across several different servers at once. Using Lux’s authority, they also acquired full cooperation from the local church in this man hunt.

“Still nothing,” Guang replied. He was visibly stressed, he seemed thinner than before and his hair was a mess. This was the result of his heavy sense of duty, and wish to uphold his believe of exorcists being the shield of mankind against all kinds of evil.

Although the mysterious people had completed their mission for them, eliminating the threatening feijiang, there was no information on them. If they were to turn the power against the people… Guang dreaded the consequences.

“Lord Guang! Lady Hikari! There’s an incident,” shouted a voice from outside the hotel room door.

Hikari went and opened the door. It was a young priest that they had met several days prior when they went to the local church for more information. They had left instructions for the three of them to be informed of any abnormal incidents going on.

“What is it?” Hikari asked.

“There’s an abnormal level of demonic magic, the precise address is written down here. I have already informed Lady Lux just now and she asked me to inform the two of you,” the young priest frantically replied. “She also asked that you start to prepare.”

“Prepare for wha..?”

“Yes I understand. Thank you for informing us,” Guang covered Hikari’s mouth and took the piece of paper that the priest held out. He nodded with a slight smile on his face and closed the door.

Hikari shook free of his hand and turned annoyingly to him,” What was that for?”

“Start using your brain okay? It’s obvious that Lux-sama had been deliberately vague with the priest. She couldn’t have revealed any information about [Divine Revenant]. Anyways, let’s hurry up and get to the address.”

Lux was standing in front of a civilian house. That was the location which the address the priest had given to her pointed towards. It didn’t seem like the priest was lying. She could clearly feel the tingling of mana in the air. It was something she was familiar with.

There was a demon within the house. Whoever was inside had probably summoned a demon in order to form a contract with it. For what she wasn’t sure. But this had to be stopped.

Demons were not trustworthy beings. They were cruel and vicious. They would often twist the truth in such a way that makes people want to form a contract with them. But the truth was the the contract isn’t going to help the person at all. In fact, it would cause the person to fall into despair without any real gain.

Demons were filthy beings. She firmly believed that. She was only in this situation because of a demon. If that didn’t happen twelve years ago… No she couldn’t let her mind wander. The resolution she has will not waver.

Her [Divine Revenant] was being prepared. It’ll probably be ready when Guang and Hikari arrive. So around ten minutes later. She just continue waiting here.

Although she would love to run into the house and cut down the demon, it was better to play it safe. The contract would probably not be signed too soon. Most demons would take at least several hours to convince their victims to sign the contract. She had enough time to remain patient…

David was taking a break after practice when his phone ran.

He checked the caller. It seems like it was his mom calling.

“Hey mom. What is it?”

“Ahh good. You finally picked up. Anyways, its Easter next week right? I called the school earlier so you don’t need to go this week.”

“Wait what? Why?”

“Well Mike and your dad were talking over the phone the other day, and they decided for both you and Helaine to skip a week of school. We registered you two for a two week long camp thing. Originally Mike was only going to send Helaine there, but its always nice to have company right?” David could hear his mom laughing from the other side of the phone. Mike Papadopoulos was Helaine’s dad, and he was good friends with David’s own dad, both having similar mindsets and interest. It seems like his dad did something unnecessary again.

“Can’t you cancel it?”

“Well we could, but we don’t want to leave you alone for so long. Your dad and I have decided to stay here for another month for a holiday this time. And so yeah, I’ll send you the details later through email. Don’t starve okay?” with that his mother hung up on him.

David sighed. His parents were always like this. They were good parents, but acted on the whim a lot of the times. Just like this time.

“David, something’s amiss, we should hurry,” Lucifer interrupted his thoughts.

“What is it? And where?” David asked. He jolted up from the sofa and walked towards the door, grabbing his jacket on the way.

“A demonic reaction. I may be mistaken, but it seems like its coming from that girl’s place.”

“Girl’s?”

“The one you spend a lot of time with.”

“S̲h̲i̲t̲!” David ran out the door and didn’t even lock it. Right now, his mind was only worrying about Helaine’s safety. She, who’s been by his side through thick and thin. She, who cared for him and encouraged him when he felt like all was lost. She, who he has shared many important memories with. He sincerely hoped that Lucifer was mistaken. But deep in his heart, he had a sneaky feeling that Lucifer wasn’t, and that Helaine has been dragged into something beyond her imagination. Something that David didn’t want her to become involved in.

Seeing Lux in front of them, Hikari and Guang stopped running. It seems like they arrived at the destination.

“Lux-sama, is this the place?” Guang asked. Although the two of them had ran thirty minutes without stopping at a speed of approximately sixty miles per hour, neither of them were even breathing heavily. This was the effects of <Celestial Blessing> that was applied on their entire squad of exorcists.

“Can you not feel it?” Lux asked absentmindedly.

“Feel what?” Hikari replied, she, not surprisingly did not know what Lux was talking about.

Lux sighed, “It seems like the two of you can’t feel it. The swirling mass of demonic magic inside. The disgusting feeling of a demonic portal.”

She turned towards Guang and Hikari, then summoned out her holy sword. It was an estoc that was radiating holy magic. Although thin, the blade gave of a feeling of being able to cut through anything. The hilt of the estoc was gold and embroidered with a large blue sapphire.

She faced the house once more and pointed her estoc towards the house, “In the name of our Father, our Lord and his Holiness. Let us save the lost lamb and exorcise the snake of temptation.”

But at that moment. She noticed a person at the corner of her eye. A young man with black hair, slightly taller than average. A civilian?

No that was too much of a coincidence. Especially since she remembered that she had seen him once before, when they were going to investigate the mountain beside a school.

The same young man, whose stare she had felt disturbed by, was now standing right in front of them.

Chapter 84
Black Rose Strikes Again

Chu Shen was astonished at all of this. Martial arts creating images was basic knowledge. That was why there was fist, sword, and claw techniques. And often phantom images would appear in the Qi, for example a claw technique resembling a bird’s claw instead of a human’s fingers.

This truly explained many mysteries that eluded Chu Shen. Before now he simply accepted martial arts intricacies as the way things were. ‘Hmm. It seems as though there is still a science that can be found in such mysterious things. Truly there is no such thing as magic, only misunderstood principles.’

Chu Shen stood up and bowed to grandmaster Qin. “Thank you grandmaster. With your help, I feel I will be able to advance far in mastering my skills.”

Agata Qin quickly waved his hand. “Nonsense. Eventually you would have learned such things. It wasn’t always common knowledge you know. Until the <Doctors Godly Eyes> was created, it remained a mystery. But my ancestor figured out such things and shared it, making these facts public knowledge.”

“It could be said to have advanced the skills of everyone within a thousand miles. Many people were thankful for such a blessing. If it wasn’t for that calamity, we wouldn’t be confined to such a small town.”

Grandmaster Qin shook his head. “Well, anyway. What I have here is a basic martial art technique. A fist technique. Learn it well. I believe with what I have taught you, you should advance far. Now, you can leave. My lessons are over. Tell your friend to come over for lessons tomorrow.”

Chu Shen looked at him for a second. “Huh? I still have one more day left don’t I? So why am I being sent back?”

Grandmaster Qin sighed. “It is just as I said. I have no more to teach you. In order to advance farther you would require at least another month. So instead of ending things half baked, I would rather end it here. As for the day left, just stop by to ask some questions if you encounter a bottleneck.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Okay. Having an expert to question is worth losing a day of training.”

A pain stabbed in his brain making Chu Shen wince. ‘Hey brat! You still have this expert. So why aren’t you questioning me!’

Chu Shen had a strange face on when he heard Master Wu’s voice. He couldn’t say the truth could he? That he didn’t feel like Ti Wu could help him. Otherwise what awaited him could be said to be hell.

He immediately adopted a placating tone mentally. ‘It’s not that master. I just feel like with how strong you are, to ask such basic questions would be considered an insult so it would be better to ask someone like this Grandmaster Qin.’

‘Hmph. What ‘Grandmaster’. In my eyes he is still just a brat. Hey brat. That Qin fellow is looking at you weird, pay attention!’

Indeed, when Chu Shen looked up Grandmaster Qin was staring at him with a look of concern. “Are you alright Chu Shen? It seemed like you blanked out there for a second.”

Chu Shen immediately shook his head. “No, no of course not! I just… I just had an inspiration that was all. Anyways I should head back to the shop to inform Lucas.”

Grandmaster Qin nodded in agreement. “Alright then. Have a safe journey. Don’t forget to give him the Token as well.”

“I won’t!” Chu Shen called over his shoulder as he walked back to the shop.

………………………………………………………………

While Chu Shen received the lecture on martial arts, Lucas went out hunting for primordial beasts. Every week they would close the shop for a day in order to gather beast cores for their experiments. Or more specifically, his. Today was no different even without Chu Shen.

But after an hour of hunting his tracking program discovered four people behind him. Ignoring it, Lucas merely went in a different direction. It wasn’t uncommon to come across people in the forest so it was probably coincidence. However they immediately turned to follow him as well!

Lucas frowned at this. Why would they do that? Were they following him? At this thought he immediately became cautious. Turning, he immediately started running in a zigzag path that would take him back to town. If he got there, they wouldn’t dare fight since it would mean offending the city lord.

However, even though these people were over 800 feet away, once they realized Lucas had discovered them, they immediately took off like a flash of lightning. In less than ten seconds they had already surrounded Lucas.

Lucas seeing who it was that stepped in front of him immediately recognized him. Pointing at him he called out. “You! It was actually you Slaughter!”

Indeed. The man that was hunting him was Slaughter! He laughed at the face Lucas made. “Haha! Indeed it is me. Now that you aren’t in town I don’t even have to bring up the Black Rose Guild. Come on brothers. We can finally collect that rich reward from that artificer.”

The man on the left shook his head. “It’s embarrassing Slaughter that you called us in. This child has no cultivation base so why exactly did you invite us to share in the spoils. It’s not like you.”

Slaughter shrugged. “I wasn’t sure if it was a trap that old guy put out for us. After all, why would someone with no cultivation base come out into the beast forest. Luckily we can’t detect anyone so maybe I’m just paranoid.”

He turned to Lucas. “So brat. You were just a mortal. And a trashy mortal at that. No matter. We just want information. How can you create those fake limbs. Tell us and we just might spare your life.”

Lucas reacted with lightning fast actions. Pulling out the Primordial Pistols, he also dropped two basketball size metal objects from the pouches. The four men were astonished at how fast Lucas moved, but other than that they didn’t really put him in their eyes.

That is, until the primordial pistols fired.

One of them was hit with the earth Primordial pistol, sealing him inside it. The other was struck with the shadow flame, enveloping him in a black corrosive flame along with a swath of forest around him.

“AHHH! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!” Due to the arrogance of facing a mortal, the unlucky cultivator didn’t even have his body shield up. His body started to wither as the black flame caught his skin on fire.

A surge of Qi briefly overwhelmed the flames making them flicker but they were not put out. Instead, they still burned on the cultivators body. Still screaming in pain, the cultivator immediately swallowed a medicinal pill before sitting down to try and suppress the shadow flames.

Slaughter, who was not hit by either shot was immediately stunned at how this ‘trashy mortal’ suddenly became so dangerous. Immediately he put up his body shield, alerted to this pig who became a tiger.

Lucas, on the other hand, immediately took off in a direct beeline for the town. The fourth member, who was not struck by either attack, took off after Lucas. As for the one sealed in rock, cracks already appeared in the shell. After all, all of them were Martial Practitioners Level 3.

However, the one that took off after Lucas was suddenly hit by two red beams of light. His body shield immediately started to dim as his Qi was drained. Stunned he turned to find out where these lights were coming from.

Unexpectedly, those two metal objects had become two spider like drones with lasers mounted on their heads. Running sideways like a crab, these spiders kept up a beam of heat at this man. At the speed of light, there was no way the man could dodge a laser.

But in a flash, the man appeared beside the spiders and struck out with his palm. While it was true he couldn’t dodge a laser, he could move out of its path. He was simply too fast for the turrets to track his movements.

The spiders were able to dodge the palm itself though, but not the faint energy palm that struck both of them, crushing them instantly. In a flash of light, both spiders blew up.

With a sinister glare at the retreating Lucas, a bow appeared in the man’s hands. Aiming, he suddenly unleashed an arrow at Lucas. In an instant, the arrow pierced completely through his leg!

Slaughter, who had already started chasing Lucas after shaking off his shock, immediately caught up to Lucas who had fallen down from the shot. Unexpectedly though, he was not rolling on the ground in pain. Instead he turned towards Slaughter with a strange glove on and fired it.

Before he could blink, Slaughter was pierce completely through the chest, his body shield breaking in an instant. He was hurled up into the air, a large hole appearing where his chest should be. A loud BOOOM and shock wave of air caused the leaves of the trees nearby to be blow off.

The man with the bow was stunned. Without a doubt, Slaughter was dead. Lucas turned towards the man with the bow and raised his hand. In response an arrow flew towards him, piercing through his skull instantly causing sparks to fly out the quarter sized hole.

Lucas, looking stunned, suddenly looked back at the man. Another BOOOM was heard as the man also had a large hole blown through his body. Lucas got up and started running. “Whew. If I wasn’t a cyborg, I would be dead!” Lucas wiped off some nonexistent sweat as he ran.

But suddenly, a sword pierced through his back. The sword sliced upwards, slicing Lucas in half from the waist up! A shower of sparks and wires followed the cut. Another slice came. And another. And another. A torrent of blows came and sliced Lucas up until no piece bigger than a fist remained.

The person responsible, the one sealed in the rock, stood behind Lucas’ torn corpse. He slumped to the ground. “What monster is this! He didn’t even have flesh, only metal for a body.”

The man turned and looked back at the huge swathe of devastation that came from Lucas’ weapon. He shook his head. “I’m lucky I wasn’t hit with that black flame. Even Murder wasn’t able to shake it off and died.”

A sinister smile came over him. “At least I am the only one to receive the treasure this time.” However, an inconspicuous ball in the corpse of Lucas started flashing. Glancing over, the man picked it up. “What is this, his heart?”

Unexpectedly a voice answered back. The voice came from a black box just a little bit away from him. “No, actually that is my reactor. Don’t worry though. You can keep it. It’s the last you will ever see.”

Later a half mile radius of the forest was reported gone, wiped out by some massive explosion. Many people became nervous, fearing that the primordial beasts may be acting up again.

Glossary of Common Chinese Slangs, Gaming and ACGN Terms

1 Comment

Hi everyone, Selutu here. No, this is not another mass release, that will be in an unknown time in the future, most likely after we got a better server and everything so our site doesn’t overload from everything.

What I’m going to present to you today is a glossary of common Chinese slangs, gaming terms and ACGN terms. It’s something I decided to create in order to show interested readers as well as translators that find it hard to understand/translate these terms.

Even though I said that I created it, it is not completely true, I definitely couldn’t do it without Frozen (from Frozensama) , he pretty much wrote (rather, rewrote) all of the ACGN terms and moe characteristics section.

I hope everyone will find this useful and don’t hesitate to give us suggestions in the comments section.

In the mean time, I shall shamelessly advertise the Very Pure and Ambiguous – The Prequel Fan Art contest.

Japanese Slangs
Term Literal Translation Meaning
ドキュン DQN / Dokyun Pronounced “dokyun,” it is a derogatory internet slang term that spread from 2ch.net, a Japanese BBS. It mostly means dumbass or idiot, but it can also be used to refer to delinquents and violent, rough, uncultured, uneducated, socially inferior people. Though it used to be just 2channel slang, the term enjoys more widespread use now, and is even used on some English-language discussion boards.
Chinese Slangs
Term Literal Translation Meaning
美眉 / MM Beautiful Eyebrows The term originated from a Taiwanese tv drama, in which an actor’s accent caused his pronunciation of 妹妹 (little sister) to sound like 美眉. The term has then grown to mean a pretty girl.
恐龙(妹) Dinosaur An ugly girl/woman
蛋疼 Egg hurt It’s the feeling you get when you feel very frustrated/annoyed/really pissed off about something (just like when your balls hurt).
卖萌 Act moe I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.
屌丝 Male pubic hair The original meaning of the term would be a ‘plebeian’. However, it is not often used as a slang for losers as well.
卧槽/我操/我艹/我靠/我擦 I f̲u̲c̲k̲ (your mom) Originating from “我肏你妈”, which translates to “I f̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom”, the origin phrase essentially means “f̲u̲c̲k̲ you”. On the other hand, when used by itself it just means “f̲u̲c̲k̲”. The reason this is used is merely to prevent censorship of 我肏.
次奥 Taken the pinyin of 操 (ciao), it is another way of saying “f̲u̲c̲k̲”.
尼玛 尼玛 as the same pronunciation as 你妈 (your mom). It’s meaning is the same as the previous as being a short form of “I f̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom”. Since 你妈 is often censored, this is used instead.
你妹 Your sister Short for “我操你妹” i.e. I f̲u̲c̲k̲ your sister. It has essentially the same meaning as “f̲u̲c̲k̲ you”.
意淫/YY Although the term originated from “Dream of the Red Chamber”, it has long since lost its original meaning. The current meaning is “fantasizing”, but it often also has a sexual undertone linked to it.
跪了 Kneeled It expresses the feeling one has when they would kneel, often when admitting a person is truly powerful; or to show admiration. At the same time, it can also be a way of saying that the person is unable to express the speechlessness. 跪了is roughly the Chinese equivalent of “orz”.
毁三观 Ruin three views The 三观 (three views) refers to “world view”, “view of life” and “view of value”. 毁三观 is basically used to describe those people or situation that goes against those views.
躺枪/躺着也中枪 Laying gun / Getting shot even when lying down The phrase originated from a famous line in the movie “Fight Back to School”, where a random soldier accidentally shot towards the floor, hitting a person that was pretending to be dead on the floor. It is used to express a person’s speechlessness / helplessness when they are uninvolved/innocent/retaining a low profile already. A typical example would be three friends are talking, Friend A and Friend B are insulting each other, then all of a sudden, Friend C got insulted by Friend A out of nowhere.
土豪 It refers to those filthy rich people that don’t think about spending and doesn’t have much taste.
坑爹 Pit dad This is a term that’s very hard to actually express in English. It can be used to describe when a person/situation screws someone over. A situation -when this is used is when there is a group of people playing a team-based game, but one person just keeps screwing the team over. In that situation, the team would describe him as坑爹 (Keng Die).
高富帅 Tall Rich Handsome Rather self-explanatory, it is a term to describe a man that’s tall, rich and handsome.
白富美 White Rich Beautiful Rather self-explanatory, it is a term used to describe a woman that has a light skin tone, rich and beautiful
基友 Gay friend Although it can be used literally, as a slang word, it just describes two close male friends.

6的不行 Top Quality 6 is slang for being 一流 or the best
装13 Flexing 装13 = 装B = 装逼 = to act like a pretentious prick

争夷大将军 / 征夷大将軍 Shogun The Shōgun (将軍, Japanese: [ɕoːɡɯɴ] (About this soundlisten); English: /ˈʃoʊɡʌn/ SHOH-gun) was the military dictator of Japan during most of the period spanning from 1185 to 1868. Nominally appointed by the Emperor, shōguns were usually the de facto rulers of the country, though during part of the Kamakura period shōguns were themselves figureheads. The office of shōgun was in practice hereditary, though over the course of the history of Japan several different clans held the position. Shōgun is the short form of Sei-i Taishōgun (征夷大将軍, “Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Against the Barbarians”), a high military title from the Heian period. When Minamoto no Yoritomo gained political ascendency over Japan in 1185, the title was revived to regularize his position, making him the first shōgun in the usually understood sense.

Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to an uncontrolled horde of countless numbers of supernatural creatures known as oni and yōkai. As a terrifying eruption of the supernatural world into our own, it is similar (though not precisely equivalent) to the concept of pandemonium in English.
彼岸 Higanbana flower The Japanese common name Higanbana (彼岸花, Higan bana) for Lycoris radiata literally means “flower of higan (the other shore of Sanzu River, or a Buddist holiday around the autumnal equinox)”. In Japan the red spider lily signals the arrival of fall. Another popular Japanese name for Lycoris radiata is Manjushage (曼珠沙華, Manjusha-ge or Manjusha-ke), taken from the name of a mythical flower described in Chinese translation of the Lotus Sutra. It is called by over 1000 other local names in Japan.

In historical context, it usually refers to local samurai clans with significant local land holdings. Some were almost locally independent, and held strong ties to important commoners such as wealthy merchants. Unlike the vassal samurai of the greater lords, gozōku may or may not have held court rank or served directly under a liege. They tended to be financially secure and, if under a liege, less dependent upon him for income.
绳文 Rope-patterned The Jōmon pottery (縄文土器, Jōmon doki) is a type of ancient earthenware pottery which was made during the Jōmon period in Japan. The term “Jōmon” (縄文) means “rope-patterned” in Japanese, describing the patterns that are pressed into the clay.

“Then, I’m off. Keep the door locked.”

“Yes, have a nice trip”

　I missed my chance to kiss for the third time after all before I left for the adventurer’s guild.
　Crescent Moon who left earlier was waiting inside the guild but her gaze was as cold as before.

“Yo, you came, Mister Popular. I got tired of waiting”

　I wanted to say something but I stopped myself as it would have been useless.
　I generally hate arguing with others.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. So, did you get the Labyrinth exploration quest?”

“Yeah. Mister Akatsuki has never been to a labyrinth, right?”⌈1⌋

“That’s right. I planned to go to one though”

　I wanted to become an adventurer to enter a labyrinth in the first place which Pikaru forbid me so I had to join the guild under a pseudonym.
　I wanted to gain some experience in the labyrinth before I would meet the Hero Kazuma.

“So Akatsuki doesn’t even know the basics of exploring a labyrinth?”

“Yeah, you could say that”

　Though I wasn’t able to look that much in front of Elsa, but this roundness is excellent as I thought.
　Her two perfect mountains and that fascinating valley they produced.

“Then as a veteran it’s my duty to carefully explain everything to Mr. Newbie here, right?”⌈2⌋

　Crescent Moon proudly stuck her chest out.
　I don’t know why but it seemed like her mood got slightly better.
　I mean, why are you holding out your right hand?
　I don’t really have any other choice so I gave her one gold coin.⌈3⌋

“Hehe, thank you as always.”

　When the money reached her hand she her mood got even better.
　But to always get one gold coin or 100,000 yen taken is a serious matter.
　Though this greedy mercenary wouldn’t be convinced if it was just one silver coin equivalent to 2,000 yen.
　I don’t even want to think about gold coins being something equal to silver coins to me some time soon.

“Hey, what are you thinking? So, when a labyrinth is found a quest to investigate it is given out.”

“Yeah. What should one check while investigating?”

“Let’s see, what you can find in it, how big it is, how many floors it has and so on.”

“I see, so you’re saying anything is fine? Is it fine to take back things from monsters I defeated inside?”

“Naturally. Moreover, the reward increases depending on what you subdued.”

　Even if you defeat this world’s monsters it’s not like they would drop money or magic stones.
　Instead, things like fangs and leather turn into material and one gets a bonus depending on the strength and number of the defeated monsters and the degree of danger.
　Apart from the rewards of the guild’s quest this is how adventurers earn money.

“So, a new labyrinth was found this time around and an exploration quest got extensively handed out.”

“Is it a usual occurrence for a labyrinth to be discovered?”

“Are you stupid? There’s no way that would be the case, right? A new labyrinth might be found once every few years, it’s that rare. You are lucky, Mister.”

　Often a labyrinth is made by a monster settling down in naturally formed cave or limestone cave or the like.
　If the monsters settled in it have a high propagative power and are of humanoid form like Goblins, Gnomes and Orcs they dig holes and expand the cave by themselves and may create multiple layers.
　It’s the most commonly seen labyrinth called A type.

　In the case of such A type labyrinths almost only the same kind of monsters inhabit it.
　Though there are some rare cases where a large number of Goblins are led by some Orcs.
　In A type labyrinths, valuable things like magic items and treasures are hardly found.
　Once it got investigated and emptied out the labyrinth will stay empty.
　After some time passes other monsters might settle down in it again.

“Moreover, it seems like the one this time is slightly different”

　According to the preliminary investigation conducted before the quest was handed out various kinds of monsters were confirmed to inhabit it.
　Besides, the cave itself doesn’t look like something that formed naturally.

“It’s categorized as S type and it seems to be considerably big.”

　The S type different from the spontaneously made A type “is something intentionally made”.
　A high ranking magician or an extremely strong monster possessing intelligence might have made it.

Because they want to protect or hide something special like their residence in the deepest part they kill adventurers who come to investigate it and take their equipment.

　Various types of monsters are placed in it and the deeper you get the higher the danger.
　Often there are dangerous traps and many locked doors so lock-picking skills are essential.

“How is it, there’s no way someone would want to miss out on that, right? Those who are talented already headed there one after the other and I also want to go there as soon as possible. Because letting other people steal all the sweet spots is unacceptable.”

　In the case of S type labyrinths requests outside of the adventurer’s guild are widely spread.
　When I asked where the labyrinth is located this time I was told that it was discovered in Earl Mcbell’s territory.
　Kouga village, the hometown of the assassins which got send after me, the dark corps, is located in that mantis guy’s territory so I’m interested.

“Some preparations are necessary. Let’s take Knopf, Pick and some other guys with us.”⌈4⌋

“That cat-eared magician and the hobbit thief. That thief’s lock picking skills were indeed brilliant and though that magician seems a little strange but she’s skilled. It would have been great if she could use recovery magic but healing spells are of the light magic system so they can’t be used if one isn’t a priest. I’m bad in dealing with priests.”

　A priest would certainly be a bad match for that miserly mercenary.
　However, Crescent Moon still seems to have trouble dealing with Knopf.
　It looks like the air rifle magic had a great impact on her.

“Then I shall invite Knopf and Pick tomorrow. Shall we depart on the day after tomorrow?”

“Though I want to hurry and go as soon as possible but it can’t be helped. Okay, then I go collect some information tomorrow”

　Crescent Moon invited me to dinner and after we ate together I returned to Carlo’s mansion.⌈5⌋
　I wanted to also invite Elsa but I didn’t because then Crescent Moon’s mood would only grow worse.
　I wonder if Elsa is eating properly.

　The next day I left the mansion while wearing the mask, borrowed a horse and first went to the windmill Knopf was living in.

“–That’s the story, so, do you want to come with us?”

“Of course, I want to come. Investigating an S type labyrinth is something one could only rarely experience after all.”

“Then is it fine with you to wait tomorrow morning at the adventurer’s guild?”

“Understood, I’ll get ready.”

　Next I went to the Rabbit group’s hiding place.
　It’s been a long time since I came here.

“Aah! Isn’t that the head?! Hey everyone, Head Akatsuki came over!”

“Long time no see. Is Pick present?”

“She went out but she should come back any minute now. Please enter.”

　My two seniors Bass and Drum greeted me.
　The thin and fidgety Bass and the strongly build, calm Drum.
　A perfect combination as always, seniors.

“How’s work?”

“Hehehe, it’s going really well. Especially the quick horse delivery is profitable as well as increasing the customer’s good opinion of us.”

“On the other hand our income as thieves became less. Recently the number of caravans trying to skip paying the tariff decreased and it’s getting harder to earn money.”

　Though it’s good that the merchants paying the tariff increased but ironically the money earned by the Rabbit group decreased.

“The highway connecting the Capital and Braham will soon get a stone pavement. If that happens not only will transportation of people and good via carriage become popular but also dispatching mounted messengers.”

“Ooh, is that true? I never heard about that rumour.”

“Hehe, it can’t be wrong if it’s information from the Head, right? Because the head and this town’s influential people are well connected.”

　Well connected, as I’m the feudal lord it’s natural that I’m familiar with this information.

“Yeah, there’s no doubt about that. It will be completed next spring so arrange a carriage and a horse as soon as possible.”

“Understood!”

　If this goes well it might be able to substitute for their decreased income as thieves.

“What about information gathering?”

“About that, there are rumours about this territory’s feudal lord Carlo and the other nobles are about to battle against each other”

“That’s right, it’s a sign that there is conflict between the nobles.”

Hoh, my seniors are pretty good.
　But there’s already rumours about that?
　Though the matters with the king and the engagement aren’t known yet I have to work carefully in more than one way.

“Is that so? Carefully investigate this matter again. I found a shop which could become a new source for information–”

　I was talking about Doloa of “the goddess’s hall”.

“Stop by there and listen to the hostess’ rumours. It’s a high-class shop so avoid making careless mistakes repeatedly.”

“A luxurious brothel, I always wanted to see one~”

　Hey hey, Bass-senpai, you can’t do anything, absolutely not.
　I have to remind Doloa to not let them do anything.
　As we had such a discussion the female hobbit thief Pick returned.

“Big bro, long time no see! So, how can I help you today?”

Draco had left, and Xiao Chen sunk into deep thoughts. Someone wanted to make a move against them, making it so that they are unable to leave the Celestial City. Doesn’t that mean the one sticking out for the White Tiger is not here yet? It seems that… there are still powerful figures out there, but who could that be?

“Three days later, you guys behave yourselves and go with him, don’t make me angry.” Xiao Chen didn’t want the two little beasts to be harmed. They left the dragon island together and arrived at this unfamiliar world. They experienced a lot together, Xiao Chen had already considered them as partners, so much so that he even looked upon them as his childrens.

Tenax stubbornly shook its head. Keke even directly grabbed Xiao Chen’s clothing. Their attitude was firm and distinct.

Since that old man in the South Wasteland had already declared, no man would be permitted to take a single step into the depths of the South, Xiao Chen wouldn’t hold on to any hope. That kind of person always kept their words.

The time limit was three days. What path should he take after three days? Xiao Chen didn’t know whether the danger would fall upon him or not.

The unknown enemy had yet to show himself, but his house was suddenly hit by a few waves of visitors. First of all, it was Zhuge fatty, he ran over with a smug face and invited Xiao Chen to attend the Zhuge family’s banquet in the evening.

Zhuge fatty just sat down and Fairsky had also ran into Xiao Chen’s residence as fast as lightning. He shouted as soon as he entered, “Xiao Chen, please come to my house later for an afternoon tea.

Soon after, the pretty boy Lazio also appeared. He also issued a similar invitation as he invited Xiao Chen to go and have a seat in the Mander Family’s house.

What made Xiao Chen most surprised was that, even the Reagan family sent someone over. Moreover, it was a middle-aged man. He was Hofmann’s uncle. A lot of disagreeable things had occurred between them in the past, they wanted to invite Xiao Chen over and have a talk to properly dissolve the past misunderstanding.

The most unexpected thing was that, even the two courtesans from the Moonflower Castle had arrived, it was Lyria and Carmina. They invited Xiao Chen to go over in the evening. Carmina was even casting a flirtatious glance at him as she said, “Brother Xiao, you will not miss the appointment right? You still remember the promise for when you beat Windfeathers last time?” Her tone of voice was very ambiguous and made people lost in fanciful thoughts.

For the same purpose as the others, someone from the city lord’s manor also arrived. The third son Liu Yu invited Xiao Chen to go to the Paradise Spa in the evening.

……

There were also many sects he had never encountered before who sent people to give Xiao Chen an invitation card.

Xiao Chen was sweating profusely as he looked at these people doubtfully. Could it be that these people had taken the wrong medicine? They seemed to be impatient to curry his favor!

He knew many people wanted to win over him. As far as the clan was concerned, it they could get Xiao Chen to serve them, their clan would have benefited from this greatly. If Xiao Chen placed himself into the hands of their sect, it was equivalent to getting control over Tenax and the Azure Dragon King simultaneously. And there was even the law-defying little beast, Keke. They would get three sacred beasts with unlimited potential in one fell swoop!

However, was there really a need to band together?! After all, he was situated at the eye of the storm and had offended a very powerful enemy. These major powers should have waited and see how the situation turned out first.

“I say… all of you…”

Xiao Chen just opened his mouth and was interrupted by Hofmann’s uncle. This middle-aged man from the Reagan family was really a smooth talker, “Little brother Xiao, by all means, you don’t need to be polite with me. You can think of me like your soul brother. Although we have some misunderstanding in the past, there’s a so-called proverb; no discord, no concord. Only then would this be called a predestined relationship! If you are still so angry at Hofmann that it’s unbearable, come with me immediately and trample him to your heart’s content. I already don’t have good impression of that boy to begin with. Little brother Xiao, you teaching him a lesson could also serve as disciplining him on our behalf.”

Xiao Chen was a little speechless. At that time, this family sent a few Historia level experts to dispose of him. And later, they even sent an old man over to kill him personally. How did he make it so that it really sounded like a predestined relationship?

Zhuge fatty’s big belly shook randomly as he walked over to hold Xiao Chen’s arm. Then he turned around to face those people, “This fat gentleman will let you know. I am the very first to get acquainted with brother Xiao. It could even be said we are brought together by fate. I was already acquainted with him over at the South Sea. I am more familiar with him than any of you!”

These words made Xiao Chen break out in goose bumps all over. ⌈1⌋

Fairsky also squeezed in from the crowd and hold on to Xiao Chen’s other arm as he said, “It was I who gave this house to brother Xiao as a present. As for our relationship, there’s no need to mention it.” ⌈2⌋

“Pig head fatty! B̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ transvestite!” Someone from among the crowd cursed in a low voice.

“Mother f—! Who dares to scold me?” Zhuge fatty was searching for the perpetrator angrily.

“Who was it? Show yourself!” Fairsky was utterly discomfited.

……

The courtyard was a complete mess. Even beauties like Carmina and Lyria were joining in the fun.

Xiao Chen heaved a sigh. This world was very realistic, these people’s action and scheme… it was easily understandable. It must be because of Draco. Maybe someone recognized his identity and gave rise to a misconception.

After Slovak saw Draco in Celestial City, the news spread like wildfire and allowed many big clans to receive the secret report. Within the city, who knows just how many pair of eyes were watching Draco’s every moment.

Just who was Draco, how could he not have noticed that he was being tailed? However, he didn’t seem to care and arrived at Xiao Chen’s residence through the front door.

This undoubtedly gave every major power in the Celestial City a misunderstanding; that Xiao Chen really had some relationship with that old man in the South Wasteland. No wonder his previous actions were so similar to Draco’s. Now the person himself had even visited him personally.

Due to this misunderstanding, all doubts in regards to Xiao Chen’s identity had been thoroughly eliminated.

As a matter of fact, the aforementioned was only one of the reason, there was another reason he had yet to call to mind.

The major powers in the Celestial City could even be said to have many eyes and ears. At this most crucial moment, they actually unearthed a major secret from the Undying Sect. The legendary founder of the Demon Sect was actually still alive, and he had an unusual friendship with Xiao Chen!

The major powers in the Celestial City knew Xiao Chen and the Undying Sect had a special relationship. And exactly on this very day, they used a huge amount of money to purchase the internal news from the Undying Sect. How could they not be convinced?

This was undoubtedly a shocking news!

However, there’s no way for everyone to know that the founder of the Demon Sect had already reincarnated as a demon and was still on the dragon island. They completely took it for granted and conducted a false mental association.

The founder of the Demon Sect and that existence in the South Wasteland, they were peerless experts that had withdrawn from worldly affairs. If the legends were true, they were unconditionally the strongest under the sun.

These two news were spread out on the same day. How could these big clans not be shaken? They felt Xiao Chen was all the more extraordinary, to actually have such unusual relationship with those two fierce characters. As if agreed by chance, everyone immediately dispatched groups of people to scout him, in fear that they would be one step slower than the others.

So what if they eyed Xiao Chen covetously and made some powerful enemies in turn? These big clans no longer cared. Even if there was really a White Tiger clan, so what? They have the protection of the dragons! Even the founder of the Demon Sect was behind them, so what was there to worry about?!

Furthermore, some clans believed that Xiao Chen also had the backing of the Phoenixes. After all, someone had once seen Xiao Chen carrying a phoenix feather with his own eyes.

Xiao Chen only knew one of the reasons, he didn’t know they had some other motives. However, he knew that there’s no such “friendship”. In this cruel world of immortals, everything was very realistic.

After sending everyone off politely, Xiao Chen laughed at himself. He was originally on the edge of a risky circumstance, but now everyone was so “crazed” over him. He really didn’t know what kind of expressions everyone would wear after knowing the truth.

“The dragons… he really have an unusual friendship with that existence in the South Wasteland?”

In the Undying Sect, Yan Qingcheng’s master, Liu Qingfeng, was unable to maintain his calm demeanor anymore. He wore a dissatisfied expression.

“Who leaked these information?”

It would be impossible to find out in a short time. The news that the founder of the Demon Sect was still alive was a secret only a very few elders in the Undying Sect knew about.

“What?” Liu Qingfeng suddenly received a report when he was contemplating. Many people tried to scout Xiao Chen, what’s more excessive was that, some people even wanted to marry off their daughters to entice this man who had suddenly become a mighty figure.

Liu Qingfeng spoke to himself, “If the dragons step in, Xiao Chen’s safety is all but assured. If he got pulled in by some big clan, it would be equivalent to taking control over three sacred beasts, especially that snow-white little critter with unimaginable future accomplishment. What’s more, they could establish some kind of connections with the dragons. Marrying off a daughter is really too worth it… Summon Qingcheng at once. Xiao Chen is closest to our sect to begin with. For all of these to happen so suddenly, if we don’t take the initiatives, perhaps the three sacred beasts will really fall into other people’s hands.”

“However… senior brother, didn’t the patriarch said so? We must treat Xiao Chen with utmost sincerity and not talk about benefit or loss…” An elder to the side issued a different opinion.

“Life itself is a drama, when it is necessary, we have to put up a show. It is very difficult to say what one means.” Speaking until here, Liu Qingfeng added, “Anyway… it’s fine as long as we don’t bring harm to Xiao Chen.”

Not long later, the fairy-like Yan Qingcheng had arrived at the big hall. Liu Qingfeng made everyone leave the hall with a wave of his hand.

Some disciples vaguely heard Yan Qingcheng’s voice, “No… I don’t want to!”

Some with sharp ears even heard Liu Qingfeng’s voice, “Qingcheng, you should…”

At present, Xiao Chen was getting pulled by two acquaintances. He felt somewhat helpless and awkward.

Even though they were friends, their family’s benefits seemed to be more important. Fairsky and Zhuge fatty wanted to invite Xiao Chen to their family before the others.

Not long later, one of the pearls of the South, Fairsnow, arrived personally. Peerless in style, graceful, and unmatched in beauty.

Zhuge fatty secretly heaved a sigh. He pulled Xiao Chen to one side and sincerely said in a low voice, “I am not from the direct line of the Zhuge family, I am forced into this. As a friend, let me give you a word of advice. You must not be enticed by Fairsnow, this girl is really…”

Speaking until here, the fatty stopped speaking. That was because Fairsnow had already arrived in the front. The fatty immediately scrammed.

“Get a room for what?” Chen Weier was a bit confused after hearing that. It wasn’t really her found that she couldn’t think of it, while in Songjiang, we would either get intimate in my home or Zhao Yanyan’s, we never went to get a room at the hotel.

“Of course it’s to play the kind of game that only the three of us can play!” I said lecherously.

“Play game?” Chen Weier still didn’t quite get it, actually if she think about the connotations a little, she would have understand, it’s just that she didn’t think in that direction at all.

“Weier-jiejie, don’t listen to him b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲, hubby wants to play that robber and peasant girl game with you!” Zhao Yanyan explained with giggle.

“Hai hai!” Chen Weier was eating a crayfish at the time, so hearing Zhao Yanyan say that, a slice of chilly got stuck in her throat, causing tears to fall out. After coughing for a long time, she said, “Yanyan-meimei, why are you becoming more and more like him, you even say such perverted things while we’re eating.”

“How so, this game was invented by Weier-jiejie! You don’t know, while you’re at home, hubby forced me to play some kind of uniform seduction with him, you brought up all of his bad habits!” Zhao Yanyan glared at me and said.

“Hai hai!” Hearing Zhao Yanyan say that, I nearly choked since a piece of spicy crayfish got stuck in my throat, forcing me to drink a sip of water and said. “Yanyan, let’s talk about this when we get to the hotel.”

“What’s uniform seduction?” Chen Weier asked in confusion.

“You’ll know later,” I answered perfunctorily.

Due to getting a sudden idea this summer, I downloaded a few p̲o̲r̲n̲ flicks from the internet. Just looking at the nurse uniform, school uniform, and teacher’s clothing in it made my blood boil. In mainland during the 1990s, the present where the internet was still not very developed, most teenagers did not know about uniform seduction, so it was normal for Chen Weier to not know. After watching those flicks, I got Zhao Yanyan wear custom made school uniforms, resulting in the chick getting dirt on me, and said that I got spoiled by Chen Weier, not only playing some sort of perverted game, and got even over the line.

I thought of Ye Xiaoxiao again, if I could do that with her at school or in the office… Hehe. However, I wonder how she is recently, I got people to gather some news for me several times, but they didn’t get anything. I don’t know if it’s because she didn’t manage to think it through or not, but I didn’t plan to wait any longer. Even if she didn’t think it through, I will go and find her. Since I adding Su Yingzi and the random-a̲s̲s̲ Yu Ting, laozi’s harem is extravagant enough, I’ll welcome her back, then do it slowly.

Zhao Yanyan said something beside Chen Weier’s ear, instantly causing her to blushed. After quite a while, she said to me softly, “Hubby, if you want to play, then I’ll play with you, don’t trouble Yanyan-meimei!”

“Ha! And you were talking about me, Weier-jiejie, you are even lewder than me!” Zhao Yanyan said.

“Alright, alright, who said that your Yanyan-meimei doesn’t like it, she was even more excited than me!” I said.

“Oh wow! Liu Lei, you’re still talking!” With that, Zhao Yanyan’s hand attacked my waist like a crab claw. Although my body has been modified, and that this amount of pain is nothing to me, I still pretended like I was in tremendous pain, since I still need to satisfy a woman’s vanity. Otherwise, if she found out that it was useless against me, she might think of some kind of other weird moves.

Seeing the ambiguous relationship between Chen Weier and I, he felt like we were flirting, and that we didn’t look at relatives no matter what, so he finally couldn’t stand it, causing him to walk over and say to Chen Weier, “Weier, what exactly is your relationship with this brat!”

At that moment, Chen Weier was chatting happily with us, seeing Zhang Tianyang suddenly say that, she first momentarily blanked, then said coldly, “It doesn’t seem like your business what our relationship is, right? If you must know, then I’ll tell you, he’s the boyfriend I told you about!”

“Boy-boyfriend?” Zhang Tianyang said in disbelieve. “You’re older than him, how… What’s more, didn’t this brat say that you’re relatives? Ha, I know, Weier, you must be lying to me, right, you must be!”

“F̲u̲c̲k̲, are you done yet, we are relatives, but hubby is a relative, right!” I said impatiently.

“Weier, don’t get tricked by this brat, look, he’s obviously a little white face, and only knows how to pick up girls, I saw that this brat was touching the girl beside him!” Zhang Tianyang pointed at me and shouted.

“You don’t need to care about my business!” Chen Weier said like she didn’t hear anything. No s̲h̲i̲t̲, she couldn’t be more clear about Zhao Yanyan and my relationship, the three of us often sleep together, what’s wrong with a little touch.

“Weier, you must be tricked by his flowery words, you’re still young, and don’t understand, look at how poor this brat is and is still two-timing, who does he think he is, is he Shuguang Corporation’s CEO or the CEO’s son. Finding two wives like others when he doesn’t have money, you will definitely not be happy with someone like him in the future!” Zhang Tianyang no longer cared about shouting in public.

Hey, he really guessed it right, although I wasn’t Shuguang Corporation’s CEO, Shuguang Corporation belonged to me. It’s just that, why did so many people think Director Zhao had a son?

Even Zhao Yanyan found this funny, Chen Weier naturally also knew about my financial capability, so she forcefully restraint her laughter and said, “So, I would be happy with you?”

“About this… At least it’ll be better that with this brat! Weier, where do I not compare up to him, Huaxia University has the elite academics from all around the world, the top people from every industry, I do count as a top student in our computing faculty, in terms of family conditions, although my family doesn’t compare up to the big boss of those large companies, we do have a car and house in the capital! Although I might not be as handsome as the brat, but they have always said a talented man and a beautiful woman, there’s never been mention of a handsome man, it’s not as if we’re competing to be mail prostitutes, you can’t eat handsomeness.” Zhang Tianyang said proudly. From his perspective, with his conditions, aside from not being as good as the brat in terms of looks, he was no worse in other areas. His Adidas clothing was worth about three thousand something, look at what this brat was wearing, the s̲h̲i̲t̲t̲y shirt doesn’t even have a brand, it was probably made on street stalls! Furthermore, treating girls to this sort of cheap street side restaurants, he was obviously a poor person and didn’t know romance! Thinking that, Zhang Tianyang instantly got more confident.

“Sorry, I have no interest in what you talked about. Zhang Tianyang, I had thought that you were a just person, and wasn’t vain. I didn’t think you were like this as well, and think that you can gain a girl’s affection with money. I was really wrong about you, I had treated you as a friend, but now we aren’t even normal friends, please don’t disturb me in the future,” Saying that, it was equivalent to Chen Weier making things absolute in order to make Zhang Tianyang give up completely.

Thus, I told the driver the address. The driver thought to himself, so it really isn’t a rich dude, I really don’t know why the two girls are with him since he takes the girls to eat at street side restaurants! However, his thoughts immediately changed after we got off.

I casually throw him a hundred yuan and said, “No need for change.”

The driver received it and thought, “So, the real ones don’t show it!”

When we found that street restaurant from back then, we saw that the owner was still the same person as back then. My memory was great after getting reborn, allowing us to locate the place very easily.

Seeing the three of us come in, he smiled with a bright smiled, “Yo! You guys came again, what would you like to eat today?”

Zhao Yanyan momentarily blanked and said, “Why is the memory of this owner so amazing, we came here three years ago, right?”

I smiled, “Don’t listen to his b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲, how could he remember, those are just standard words for getting business! Even if we haven’t come here before, he would still say that!!”

“What would you like to eat?” The owner walked over with the menu.

“Then we’ll have twenty Maxiao for now!” I said.

“This xiaoge is obviously someone who understands food from first glance, we are not praising ourselves, the crayfish here is definitely the best in Yanjing city!” The owner immediately praised himself.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanyan immediately giggled! It really was as I had said, what the owner said was pretty much the same as three years ago!

“What is this young lady laughing for, don’t not believe it, I’m not exaggerating, even the CPC officials ate here before, they all praised it to no end!” That owner showed us a thumbs up.

The more I listened to the guy, the more exaggerated he got, he’ll probably speak about how the American President was a guest here as well. Thus, I quickly wave me hand to tell him to prepare the food.

Before the crayfish came, we heard a loud laughter. Several people walked into the street-side restaurant. I looked over, one of them was actually Zhang Tianyang!

Since most of the guests were eating outside, there were a few within the room. That’s why our table was very obvious, Zhang Tianyang clearly saw us as well. When he saw Chen Weier sitting here, his expression changed slightly. He said a few words quietly to the people beside him and ran over.

“Weier, didn’t you say you have stuff to do today? Why did you come to eat here?” Zhang Tianyang said with a sullen face, he was clearly very displeased in his heart.

Chen Weier never thought that Zhang Tianyang could actually come here to eat as well, so she wasn’t sure of how to reply. Chen Weier didn’t actually lie to him, she did have stuff to do! However, hearing what Zhang Tianyang said, it was as if she had intentionally lied to him.

“That’s right! Weier did have stuff to do, she promised to eat lunch with me!” I said in palce of Chen Weier.

“What? F̲u̲c̲k̲, the f̲u̲c̲k̲ are you, brat, is Weier something you can call! Wait, I remember, isn’t the brat that Chu Gao brought over, you? What were you called again?” Seeing that I asked Chen Weier out for lunch, Zhang Tianyang immediately got angry.

He had pursued Chen Weier for three years, he has sent flowers, have written love letters, there were three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, as long as he was in school, he would call every day, hwo could he let this brat get there first? However, he looked again, there was still a beauty beside the brat, and seemed rather intimate with him, so he wasn’t that sure either, was there no relationship between him and Chen Weier? Perhaps they were relatives? That’s right!

It must be, Chu Gao said that this brat is his classmate, so he must be a new student in the first year, and Chen Weier is already in her third year, if they didn’t know each other before, how could they eat together when school just started. Furthermore, Chen Weier must be older than him. Adding onto the fact that the girl beside him might just be his girlfriend, this meant that Chen Weier didn’t have much to do with him. Thus, he said, “You are Weier’s relative, right?”

“I’m called Liu Lei!” I said. “I should be.” I said it in an ambiguous manner as I thought in my heart, hubby is a relative, right? With that, I intentionally looked towards Chen Weier. As I expected, this chick also understood my meaning since she blushed shyly.

Seeing Chen Weier like that, Zhang Tianyang thought Chen Weier got embarrassed, so he said with happiness in his heart, “Since it’s Weier’s relative, then you’re my friend, this meal is my treat, don’t be too courteous!”

With that, he pulled over a chair familiarly and sat on the side. Then he waved his hand, “Owner, add a few more dishes!”

Afterwards, he said, “Weier, when can you actually accept me, in my eyes, why are you doing this, I know your family conditions definitely isn’t very good, you’ve been eating in the school canteen every day for three years in a row, and you refuse to buy a piece of nice clothes. After following me, you can buy anything you want and eat anything you want!”

I thought to myself, if you said this a few years earlier, Chen Weier’s brother Chen Yong might really have sold Weier to you in the heat of the moment, but that’s impossible now.

Since Chen Weier was sold to my without any choice due to money, even though she didn’t know that I was the one that bought her virginity, this left a deep scar in Weier’s heart, she didn’t want anyone else to think that she was with me because of money. Hearing Zhang Tianyang’s words, she naturally became angry and said coldly, “Who said I don’t have money!”

“I…” Zhang Tianyang stuttered, and didn’t know what to say. Was he supposed to say that I see that you aren’t wearing any clothes and don’t have a car to pick you up?

“Okay, Zhang Tianyang, I understand your good will, we’ll pay ourselves, your friends are still over there waiting for you, hurry over tehre and see!” Chen Weier’s words clearly told Zhang Tianyang to leave this place quickly.

This wasn’t the first time Zhang Tianyang has gotten turned down, and he did kind of get braver and braver the more he got turned down. It’s just that seeing Chen Weier sitting with another boy, he felt rather annoyed. On the other hand, Zhang Tianyang’s friend all sneered and mocked Zhang Tianyang after seeing him hit a wall, causing Zhang Tianyang to get even more pissed.

After Zhang Tianyang left, Chen Weier said quietly, “This person is really annoying, he pestered me for three years, and wants to treat me every single day.”

“I know, I was on the side when he called you,” I said.

“Hubby, don’t get angry, actually Zhang Tianyang isn’t a bad person, he might have just gotten a bit angry after seeing us get to intimate today,” Chen Weier understood my personality, there wasn’t a single person that pursued her who ended up well, so she was worried that I would do something to Zhang Tianyang.

“Hehe, don’t worry, your hubby, I, isn’t that petty, as long as he doesn’t do anything over the top, then let him pursue you. I won’t do anything to do, it can also serve to test you,” I chuckled.

“Heng! Test me for what, I’ve have countless pursues this three years, but I’ve only thought of you in my heart! How could you say that!” Chen Weier faked her anger.

“Okay, okay, I’m just kidding, we’ll get a room in a nice hotel after eating, hubby will properly compensate you,” I said lecherously.

“Melissa, you don’t have to prepare supper today. I’ll eat outside”

“Oh, even though you came back after a long absence you want to go out?! I put so much effort into it and yet–”

“My bad, leave it here I’ll eat it tomorrow morning.”

　I left the mansion while hearing Melissa’s scolding in the background.

　I put on my mask on the way to the hideout as to not attract any attention.
　I passed Doji outside the mansion and he said “I delivered her properly” in a low voice.
　But honestly, I thought that Elsa might not be in the hideout.

　Aah, though this is the first time seeing her after that time.
　But if one thinks calmly about it wouldn’t be weird for that to happen.
　She didn’t sign a contract with me so Elsa is a free person and able to go where ever she wants.
　Generally being a mistress isn’t normal.

　That’s why I decided to be neither disappointed nor angry even if Elsa isn’t there.
That would be too excessively miserable as a man.
　If that’s really the case I want to be capable to get through it with a laugh.
　That’s what the popular villain Carlo would do, right?

　As I thought about such things I reached the hideout with a fast beating heart.
　I thought about knocking the door first but it’s my own house and if no one is in there that wouldn’t be too cool so I opened the entrance with one of the spare keys the old landlady gave me.

　Gacha

　When I opened the door– Elsa was standing there.
　She waited for me and didn’t run away.
　I was deeply moved and approached her to hug her.

“El–”

“Kyaaaaaaaaa!”

“What, what happened?!”

　As Elsa screamed Crescent moon jumped out from the back of the room.
　Why are you here?

“A, a strange looking person suddenly came in here!”

　Elsa quickly hid behind Crescent Moon.
　Ah, I forgot I was wearing a mask.

“You, a strange person you say, but isn’t that Akatsuki?! Didn’t you say you were Akatsuki’s mistress?”

“Eh?”

　Elsa became speechless as she heard Crescent Moon’s words.
　This girl, maybe……That’s natural, huh?

“No, I’m sorry for surprising you, it’s me.”

　I took off the mask.

“Carlo-sama”

　Elsa suddenly wore a joyful expression.
　I’m relieved, it seems like she is happy to see me.

“What’s the meaning of this, Mister Akatsuki? Explain it to me properly”

　I heard Crescent Moon speaking in a harsh tone.
　I mean, why are you even here?

　I decided to first sit down in the living room and drink some tea.
　Yeah, the tea Elsa made isn’t bad at all.
　Though I’d prefer it if it was a little more black.

“I came over because I thought I might be able to meet Mister Akatsuki because I didn’t see your face around that much recently and then when I came over I found this girl here”

　Crescent Moon started to speak with me.
　Without a doubt the eyes behind her mask were cold.

“So, when I asked her who she was she answered with “I’m Akatsuki-sama’s mistress”.”

　Mmm, you should fix that habit of telling every person you are someone’s mistress immediately.
　That will give us a bad image.

“Because I’m really Carlo-sama’s……I mean Akatsuki-sama’s mistress. Hey, it’s like this, right, Carlo-sama?”

　Ehm, she mixes up Carlo and Akatsuki a lot.
　Well, though I think that’s unavoidable.

“Elsa, call me “Akatsuki” from now on”

“Ah, I’m sorry, ehm……Akatsuki-sama”

　So, shall I tell everything to Crescent Moon?

“What Elsa said was the truth. This girl is supposed to stay here from now on.”

“Heeh, “this girl”, huh? Just when one thinks he just had his debut as an adventurer and borrowed this place he’s already surrounded by mistresses as one would expect of “Akatsuki-sama”.”

　Why is she so angry?⌈1⌋

“Didn’t you say something like “I’m no good with women”? Is that so? So it was like that.”

“It’s not like that but various things happened. Well, let’s get along.”

　Why is my heart beating like this?
　I just share a work-relationship with Crescent Moon while sometimes looking at her mountains, right?
　By the amount of money she cheated out of me it should my privilege to take a look.
　Besides, I’ve only kissed Elsa so far.
　So her being angry while I’m completely innocent⌈2⌋ is unreasonable.

“Apart from that, do you have any business with me, Crescent Moon?”

“Hmpf, oh well, fine. Yes, that’s right, I came over to invite you to go together exploring a labyrinth for a while because the guild asked me to do it.”

　Was I able to safely change the subject?
　Getting angry for some incomprehensible reason is one of the reason’s I don’t like women.⌈3⌋

“Labyrinth exploration, that sound’s interesting”

“Doesn’t it? Even though I came all the way just to invite you……”

“Then, let’s go to the guild at once. Crescent Moon, I’m sorry but could you please go ahead? I’ll be coming soon as well.”

　I was somehow able to send Crescent Moon away and it was just the two of us left.

“You arrived safely.”

“Carl……Akatsuki-sama, can I really live in such a nice house?”

“Yeah. You may freely use it. I’ll also usually wear this mask”

　I got the mask from the other room and put it on.

“Well, it’s a bit scary. But I think it suits you well.”

“Is that so? You’ll probably get lonely because I can’t come here that often so I don’t mind if you go outside.”

　I took out three gold coins and put them in front of Elsa.

“You should be able to live with this for the time being. Of course, you are allowed to send it to your grandparents if something remains. Tell me if it’s not enough, okay?”

“Well, this is more than enough. Thank you very much. This not being enough is outrageous.”

“But I might ask you to go shopping for me, anyway, just tell me.”

Then I stood up and got close to Elsa.

“I thought that Elsa might have already left this place.”

“Why? I did properly promise you this.”　

“No, it’s just that we only met once. Thank you very much.”

“I should be the one to thank you. Thank you for treating me this well.”

“I heard it a lot already but is it really okay?”

　At my question, Elsa looked down bashfully and answered me in a low voice.

“……Of course. Because, ehm, you were totally cool and it was love at first sight. And I also gave you my first kiss.”

　I couldn’t stand it anymore and hugged Elsa.
　I forgot to remove the mask……Like this, I’m not able to kiss her.
　How regrettable!
