Translator: Sissy That Walk
“Stop!”
The other two sisters of the Xia Family were so anxious that they rushed forward to hold their little sister, Xia Qing, who had already turned extremely pale.
“You have hidden needles in your hands to hurt my sister!”
The other two sisters did not have such good eyes as the captains and vice-captains of both sides. They only knew that Xia Qing had gained the upper hand but then lost control after the ugly woman Black Moon used something sinister.
“Ridiculous! How come she can put poison on her claws, but I cannot use needles? Needles are my weapon. Moreover, I have just cut down her fingernails and her fingers are still intact. If you cannot afford failure, then you’d better just stay at home.” Seeing that Xia Qing was in such a poor state, Ye Lingyue felt secretly joyful.
She had been working hard on the fourth one of the 13 needles of the Ghost Sect. Now she eventually made it.
The blazing fire could get the Yuan energy inside one’s body out of control in a short time. The targeted person could not use his or her energy as usual and the whole process could last for 10 breaths.
The time of 10 breaths could not be underestimated. It was enough for Ye Lingyue to win a fight with a rival reaching a similar level of power accumulation.
The other two sisters looked at the hands of Xia Qing. It turned out that just her fingernails were cut down and that the bones and flesh were not hurt at all.
After a while, the Yuan energy inside Xia Qing’s body finally went back to normal. She had not yet got over the scare, showing no contempt but fear when looking at Ye Lingyue.
Seeing that Black Moon had won the contest, Bo Qing and Hong Yulang were quite disappointed.
She was not Hong Shisan. Shisan was an alchemist. This woman used strange moves and could in no way be an alchemist.
She was not Ye Lingyue. What Ye Lingyue used was the martial skills of the Buddhist Faction and the Ye Family.
“Black Moon is in fact much more powerful than we have imagined. This contest is won by Disha.” Ye Lingyue’s win made Song Jingyun somewhat unhappy but she kept a kind smile. For no reason, Song Jingyun detested the two female mercenary soldiers called Black Moon and Lan Lan.
“Impressive!” There was an applause and a white figure was about to jump onto Ye Lingyue’s body.
Before it could get near, Wu Chong moved rapidly and caught the white figure right on the spot.
“Ah, what are you doing? Why do you catch me?”
A 6-or-7-year-old chubby boy dressed in luxury was held in mid-air by the collar.
“Let go of me! If you don’t, I will…!” Only then did the boy see clearly the appearance of Wu Chong who was holding him. Seeing Wu Chong’s centipede-like scar and fierce eyes, the little boy burst out crying, “Grandpa Huang, help me! A human trader is trying to take away a cute child!”
The little boy had been taught by his family that those who looked scary and tried to grab children were human traders!
All went speechless.
Wu Chong’s temple suddenly started beating and he wanted to throw the little boy appearing from nowhere as far as possible.
“Young Master Baobao, no worries. They are not bad people but the most powerful mercenaries I have found for you in the city!” An old server in his sixties rushed in.
All went even more speechless. They realized that the boy and the old man were no other than the big clients for Disha and Drinking Blood this time.
Junior Li managed to save the young master named Baobao from the hand of Wu Chong.
“Captain Di and Captain Dao, they are clients from the Cang State. The young master is the grandson of the Long Family named Long Baobao. The old gentleman is the steward of Master Baobao, Mr. Huang.” Junior Li gave an introduction.
What?
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er stared at the little boy in bewilderment.
The name of the little boy was Long Bao?
Little Longbao? (a kind of steamed bun in China)
“Hahaha.” Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er burst out laughing unconcernedly.
“Hey, why are you laughing?” The little boy blushed scarlet and his bright eyes were blinking from time to time.
Different from Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, others did not laugh. Ye Lingyue found that Captain Di who was always emotionless looked at the little boy in a different manner after knowing about his identity.
“Don’t you know about the Long Family of the Cang State?” Junior Li was a little nervous and kept blinking to warn Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
The two truly did not know about the family. Ye Lingyue had heard about the Cang State. It was a small state in the easternmost part of the Qing Continent, a state just as big as Xixia Plains.
“Oh, my! Don’t tell others that you are the members of Disha. Even if you don’t hear about the Long Family of the Cang State, you must have heard about the World’s Top Weapon-Maker. Several generations of the Long Family are well-known master alchemists and they have won the first place many times in the World’s Top Weapon-Maker.” Yan Jiu raised his eyebrows helplessly.
Others did not know about who Ye Lingyue was, but Yan Jiu did. If an alchemist did not know about the Long Family of the Cang State, then he or she was just like a citizen of North Qing who did not know about Chen Hongru of the Dan Palace. How ignorant!
The World’s Top Weapon-Maker?
Hearing this name, Ye Lingyue found her heartbeat getting faster.
“Ignorance can be forgiven. This girl may be a warrior and it is not strange that she doesn’t know about us.” Steward Huang seemed quite forgiving.
“But Grandpa Huang, she has a fantastic Star Yan knife, even much nicer than the one in our Weapon Making Room.” The beautiful eyes of Young Master Little Longbao were fixed on the knife bound to Ye Lingyue’s leg and he could not help drooling.
If there was not a captain who looked like a human trader standing aside, he would surely rush forward and hold Ye Lingyue’s leg all the time.
“What’s so special about the Star Yan knife? Is it powerful?” The three sisters glimpsed at Ye Lingyue with contempt.
Only then did Ye Lingyue realize that it was because of the Star Yan knife that the Young Master Little Longbao rushed towards her just now.
Ye Lingyue had used a great deal of energy to make her Star Yan knife.
In the very beginning, she used Dragon Drool Iron. In the following two trials, Meteor Iron and Nirvana Iron were added respectively.
Ye Lingyue did not expect the Young Master Baobao to see through all this at first glance when he was just 6 or 7 years old.
“Shut up! My grandpa said that ugly people can be cured but foolish ones cannot. That is Star Yan knife. All weapon makers know that it is difficult to make a pure Star Yan knife made of Dragon Drool Iron or Meteor Iron and even more difficult to make one made of Alloy Iron. This is in fact a Star Yan knife combining the three!” The Young Master Little Longbao showed full contempt. The three sisters did not know what to say and they dared not show any unhappiness considering that he was the big buyer and from the Long Family of the Cang State.
He just said that they three were ugly? Weren’t Black Moon and Lan Lan the really ugly ones?
