Chapter 851: A Joust for a Spouse
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen decided to re-establish his authority as the husband. If he did not teach this woman a “lesson”, she would not know what a lord husband was.
“Let go of me…”
Gong Biluo pushed Mo Wen a few times, but she discovered that it was no use. Once a man came in contact with a woman, he was like a hungry wolf coming across fresh meat. How could he possibly let go?
“Little miss, this is the consequence of not knowing how to respect your lord husband. Do you understand a husband’s authority?
Mo Wen became more pleased with himself. If he did not teach Gong Biluo a lesson, where would his standing in the family be in the future?
…..
The sun set and the moon rose up high into the sky. Only then did the cries of ecstasy in the room gradually die down.
On a large exquisite bed, Mo Wen tightly held the petite figure in his embrace. The battle between the two of them had long shifted from the couch to the bed.
Gong Biluo curled up in Mo Wen’s arms. Her fair white skin had the slightest trace of pink. Her lazy demeanor had a hint of enchanting charm to it. After receiving such grace, Gong Biluo’s body glowed with the slightest evidence of an additional peculiar charm. She was even more stunning than before.
“Why have you come to Dragon City?”
Mo Wen looked at the woman in his arms. He had a look of sadness in his eyes. He seemed to understand less and less about this woman. She seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. Even he could not derive any information from her.
Back then, when they went their separate ways in the Dafang Sect, Gong Biluo only had Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for her cultivating speed to surpass that of Mo Wen. But right now, such a tremendous change had occurred. Although Gong Biluo did not say anything, Mo Wen could sense it.
What exactly had happened to her during the time that they were apart?
“Why else would I be here? I came to Dragon City to see my lover. What about it? Could it be that you do not wish to see me?” Gong Biluo asked softly. She extended a fair slender finger and touched Mo Wen’s chest. She stuck out her tender little pink tongue and licked her upper lips seductively, like a succubus that wanted to seduce human souls.
“Hehe.”
Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gong Biluo. She had come all the way to Dragon City just to meet with him? He did not believe that he was deserving of such a high honor. However, since Gong Biluo did not say anything, he did not continue to pursue the matter.
Everyone had their own secrets. Mo Wen was not the type of person who would keep digging until he got to the bottom of things. Gong Biluo’s change was indeed tremendous, so much that even he found it hard to comprehend such a change. With Gong Biluo’s character, if she didn’t want to discuss a matter, even if you kept asking, it would be of no use.
“Don’t look so resentful. I will also spend tomorrow with you, okay?” Gong Biluo said seductively as she wrapped her arms around Mo Wen’s neck. Her soft red lips were so close to his face. Her enchanting aura was constantly tempting him to commit sin.
“Do you mean to say that you will be leaving the day after tomorrow?” Mo Wen asked, immediately picking up the hidden meaning in the words that she had just said.
“It is impossible for you to tie me to your side. You understand, right? I do not wish to become a timid and lovable little woman.”
Gong Biluo gazed at the moon outside the window. When she received this heritage, she was fated to never be able to turn back. She could only move forward.
“After all, it’s not that I can stop you from leaving. Just promise me that you will stay safe. Promise me that, at least for tonight, you belong to me.”
……
They did not speak anymore throughout the night. Early the next morning, Mo Wen and Gong Biluo got out of bed very early. For two ancient martial art practitioners, no matter how wild their night was, it would not affect them much. The quality of service in world-grade rooms was exceptional. There were servants waiting to carry out their bidding the whole day. They already brought over a sumptuous breakfast bright and early.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” Mo Wen did not need to open the door to know that the person who had come was his guide, Tang Zhizhi.
“Mr. Mo, I hope I am not disturbing you right now,” Tang Zhizhi said somewhat apologetically when she saw that Mo Wen was in the middle of breakfast, especially because she saw Gong Biluo who was beside him. Wasn’t this the female nouveau riche who had thrown down a huge sum yesterday? Clearly, the relationship between this woman and her employer was not ordinary.
However, this woman was truly gorgeous. Even in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall, which was a place that was filled to the brim with women, Tang Zhizhi had rarely seen such a beautiful woman. Also, she had an air of maturity around her. This womanly scent could not be found on young maidens and was a fatal poison for men.
“No, you are not disturbing me at all. Have you had your breakfast yet? Do you want to sit down and join us?” Mo Wen said with a smile.
He was eating breakfast with Gong Biluo, but what they were enjoying were the process and sensations. In reality, neither of them needed to eat breakfast.
“Thank you, Mr. Mo. I had my breakfast before I came over,” Tang Zhizhi said with a smile. She very politely walked out to the veranda to take a look at the scenery. She did not disturb Mo Wen and Gong Biluo from having their meal. Only after the two of them were finished eating did she walk over.
“Mr. Mo, these are the name lists with the names of all the participants of this year’s Martial Arts Circle Convention recorded on them. There are two name lists. One is according to sect and another is based on individual names.”
Tang Zhizhi placed the two lists of names in front of Mo Wen. This was the information that she had prepared this morning. At the same time, it was part of her duties and her value as a guide.
The Martial Arts Circle Convention was divided into two stages. The first stage consisted of individual battles to fight for a place on the Heaven List, Earth List, and Man List. The participants that registered had to be young people. The Heaven List, Earth List and Man List were ranking lists for youth experts. The second stage was the Martial Arts Circle Tournament where sects would directly compete against each other. The sects would be the participants and contest to see who came out on top.
Convention dictated that the Three List Tournament would be held first. It would only be time for the Martial Arts Circle Tournament after it had ended.
Mo Wen glanced through the name lists in front of him. They were covered with dense font. Many people had signed up. There were sects and names of people on them.
His name and the name of the Dafang Sect were surprisingly on the list. He had registered for the Three List Tournament a while ago. The top ten of the Heaven List could get a spot to advance to the Path of Creation. Countless people had swarmed over for this privilege.
“Mr. Mo, you might not be able to see it from these name lists. However, I got some insider information that the competition in this year’s Martial Arts Circle Convention is rather stiff. Many ancient sects that have not appeared in the world have frantically come to this year’s Martial Arts Circle Convention,” Tang Zhizhi said with a serious expression. She already knew that Mo Wen had registered himself in the Three List Tournament. This year, many mysterious strong practitioners and sects had suddenly appeared all at once. The competition would most likely be several times tougher than that of the last Martial Arts Circle Convention.
“Oh, tell me about what you have found out?” Mo Wen asked, intrigued.
“Mr. Mo, I don’t know much. Some of it was just rumors anyway and may not be accurate. However, one thing is certain: around one to two hundred Huatian Palace Executors have registered to participate in the Three List Tournament. They are all the elites of the Huatian Palace. There are almost no weaklings among them. Also, rumor has it that the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall’s absolute genius, Guo Mengqiao, has registered for the Three List Tournament. Rumor has it that he is aiming for the top spot on the Heaven List.”
Tang Zhizhi’s eyes sparkled. When she spoke about Guo Mengqiao, her entire person became excited.
“Guo Mengqiao?”
From Tang Zhizhi’s expression, Mo Wen could guess that this Guo Mengqiao was no ordinary person. Guo Mengqiao was also a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall. He would at least be a Martial Arts Grandmaster then.
“Guo Mengqiao is among the few geniuses of the Huatian Palace. He has absolute talent. Rumor has it that before he reached fifty years of age, he already had Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm cultivation. The top spot of the Heaven List, if everything goes as expected, is certainly his to claim.”
Tang Zhizhi was very excited. No matter how she put it, Guo Mengqiao was a genius of the Huatian Palace. If he could obtain the top spot of the Heaven List, that would naturally be glorious.
The Three List Tournament was different from the Martial Arts Circle Tournament. The Martial Arts Circle Tournament only allowed sects from the main space to participate. However, the Three List Tournament did not have such a restriction. That meant that even people from the Inner worlds could officially take part in the Three List Tournament.
However, the Three List Tournament had age restrictions. Those ancient martial art practitioners battling for the Man List could not be older than twenty and had to have cultivation above the Qi Nucleation Realm. The ancient martial art practitioners battling for the Earth List could not be older than thirty years of age and had to have cultivation above the Embryonic Breathing Realm. The ancient martial art practitioners battling for the Heaven List could not be more than fifty years old and had to have cultivation above the Golden Elixir Realm.
Ancient martial art practitioners of different ages and cultivations could choose to compete in any one of the three lists. However, they could only compete in one list and could not take part in the battles for two lists simultaneously.
COMMENT
Mo Wen knew that regardless of whether it was the Heaven List, Earth List or the Man List, the people that could make it onto the lists were almost all geniuses at the pinnacle of the martial art circle. Very often, because of age restrictions, Man List ancient martial art practitioners would not necessarily be inferior to Heaven List ancient martial art practitioners. It could only be said that these people had not completely developed yet.
After finishing their breakfast, Mo Wen, Gong Biluo and Tang Zhizhi strolled around. The Three List Tournament was in three days time. In between, there was nothing for them to do, so they were free to go sightseeing around Dragon City.
“Huh, it seems to be very lively up ahead. It is practically a sea of people.”
Mo Wen suddenly discovered that a nearby square in front of them was crowded with people. Human heads shifted around as they gathered and surrounded the square.
“What are they doing over there?” Mo Wen asked curiously.
“Mr. Mo, there is a foreigner there that is jousting for a spouse. She set up a challenge ring three days ago. Up until now, no one has been able to take the bride’s silk ball away from her,” Tang Zhizhi explained somewhat helplessly.
“A joust for a spouse! And a foreigner at that?” Mo Wen suddenly laughed out loud. Why did he feel that it was really bizarre?
