ATBPY Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Yi Yi’s Charm

Warning mildly NSFW

The cave was a lush, snow cave that was able to be concealed in this world of ice and snow. Lifting up the green vines and bringing Gu Weiyi’s head closer into his bosom, Xue Yunge continued to walk inside. What first greeted the eye when they first entered the cave was that of a steaming hot spring. On the wall there were icicles of every size, decorating around the pool. Further inside the cave there was a large rock that Xue Yunge had already smoothed out so that it could act as a bed for the three of them. On the rock there were tiger and other animal furs sewn into a blanket. Beside the makeshift bed was a dressing table. On the dressing table, a block of ice was used as a mirror, in any case, it wouldn’t melt. The snow cave didn’t have many decorations inside, it was very simple. However, all the lush vegetation growing around combined with the varied types of flowers and the warm steam gently rising from the hot spring made the inside of the cave seem like it’s own type of paradise.

Perhaps it was because of the hot spring, but inside the cave, the temperatures weren’t nearly as low as the ones outside, causing the inside of the cave to feel cozy and warm. Gently placing Gu Weiyi onto the bed, Xue Yunge took advantage of the situation and sat down next to her. At the same time, Xue Zhuyue put down the snow tiger in his hands and allowed it to go rest. Then, he directly took off his clothes and said, “Ge, I’ll go wash up first. Does Yi Yi want to come?” 

“E.” A muffled voice sounded out. Gu Weiyi felt indescribably twitchy for some reason. Since a young age, she had been bathing together with gege. Even if she was a young lady now, they had never corrected this habit of theirs. As for herself, she didn’t feel any embarrassment on her part either, she was already accustomed to this setup. It was just that, how could she, Gu Weiyi, be a great beauty? Her current body wasn’t well enough and she didn’t have any shapely features. Right now she was still young, she still had room to grow. But whatever she was supposed to have, she did have ah. Gege were two males ah, how could they not have any urges towards her? Was it that this body of hers really didn’t have any enticing qualities?

As she was gloomily pondering this question, she felt her body become cooler. It was Xue Zhuyue taking her snow white clothes off. The only clothing left on her body was a thin piece of clothing that clung to her frame. She let out a shiver and was immediately engulfed into Xue Yunge’s embrace. She reveled in his body’s natural warmth and sank into him, feeling infinitely comfortable. But when had Elder Brother shed his clothes? Now, he only wore a thin piece of undergarments as well. She looked at him and what greeted her was his long, inky black hair pooling over his shoulder. A small smile graced his alluring complexion. Her gaze traveled down and she was met with his jade-like chest. Heavens! Gu Weiyi’s cheeks turned scarlet and she ducked her head down in shame. When had she become a lustful woman? Gege’s body was truly beautiful ah!

“What’s wrong Yi Yi? Why is your face so red?” Xue Zhuyue saw Gu Weiyi’s appearance and curiously asked her. He lifted her head up and looked into Gu Weiyi’s watery eyes and bashful blush. He couldn’t help but lower his head and lightly press upon those cherry lips of hers. He smelt a light, fruity fragrance on her lips. They were so soft and hot. They were so sweet and so warm. When Xue Zhuyue’s thoughts wandered, he couldn’t help but pull Gu Weiyi closer and deepen their kiss. Tossing and turning, he followed along the edge of her lips. He gently licked her lips as she closed her eyes, her eyelashes gently fluttering with each touch. She felt both intoxicated and hysterical. Gu Weiyi had long since turned stupid by his kisses. A loud ‘boom’ rang in her head and her mind had already started turning foggy as she started feeling like she was burning up. Where did she have the strength to resist Xue Zhuyue’s attacks? All she could do was limply rest in his embrace. And at this moment, she felt her waist being grabbed by Xue Yunge’s hands!

“Yi Yi is biased and only kisses Yue. Gege also wants some!” A tone carrying slight complaining came from Xue Yunge’s mouth. But, his face didn’t have a trace of annoyance. With a slight turn, he came closer and his mouth latched onto Gu Weiyi’s earlobe as he lightly licked it. Gu Weiyi’s body lightly shivered as she let out soft cries. She lay paralyzed on Xue Zhuyue’s body as the two tormented her.

Heavens. How come she’s in this state right now? Why was her heart beating so fast? And why did she feel like she couldn’t breathe? Right now, all she saw was a pink dream in front of her. Her line of sight had long turned vacant.

By the time Gu Weiyi collected herself, she found that gege had already carried her into the hot spring. By now, their eyes were no longer confused, like they were moments ago. Instead, their eyes were filled with a type of seriousness and purity as they used a soft piece of fox skin to wipe her clean. As they seriously bathed her, their eyes didn’t hold a ripple in them. Gu Weiyi lazily rested on Xue Yunge’s chest as her back was being cleaned by Xue Zhuyue. After a few moments of twirling her hair around her fingers, Gu Weiyi felt depressed again. She was like this now and they still didn’t have any reaction? Just then, when they were kissing her, they were so passionate! Her little steamed buns were pressed again gege’s chest, but he still turned a blind eye to them! She lowered her head and cast a sad glance over at her little steamed buns. They were really a tragic sight! No wonder gege didn’t have any reaction!

By now, Gu Weiyi had sunken deep into her thoughts again as she made herself feel more and more inferior. The more she thought about those steamed buns of hers, she felt more depressed. She was still small, so she should still have room to grow right?

Seeing her sad appearance, an indulging smile appeared on Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue, who had been closely watching her the entire time. Their Yi Yi ah, was always this adorable. She was clearly so pure, but she wanted to pretend to be so experience; Her heart was so kind, but she still told herself to be ruthless. Perhaps because she knew that she was very softhearted that she always strove to remind herself that she shouldn’t make any mistakes, else she would cause trouble for them! She understood them so well, so she was set on having herself become cruel just like them. She wished to do so just for the sake of being closer to them, to lessen the distance between their hearts. She was so headstrong. How could they not love or let this Yi Yi of theirs go?

“What are you thinking about Yi Yi?” His warm breath blew onto her cheeks and Gu Weiyi blurt out, without thinking, “Thinking about me.. Nothing… I have nothing!”

How could she dare to say that she was thinking about when she would grow up? Gu Weiyi’s face turned red and she quickly buried her head in Xue Yunge’s neck. She didn’t want them to see her in such a humiliating state. But, the shaking mass against her face told her that gege was laughing at her. When she thought about that, she felt like she had lost even more face and further didn’t want to come out.

A large head softly stroked the top of her head, comforting her. Gradually, the hand moved down until it rested on her neck and lifted her scarlet-red face up. A light blush rested on her jade-cut face. Her large, gemstone eyes ripped with water, blurring her vision. The entire sight seemed exceptionally touching to the two brothers. Xue Yunge let out one last light laugh before leaning down to softly kiss Gu Weiyi’s face. But once he started, he couldn’t help but peck her over and over. Their Yi Yi ah, she was truly a treasure! Even Xue Zhuyue, who was still cleaning her back, lightly smiled as his movements became softer. 

The three quickly finished washing up and when they finished drying themselves, they walked back over to the bed. On the soft bed, the three of them embraced each other. One man was enchanting and the other was pure and lotus-like. They both possessed flawless faces This beauty of theirs was disaster-starting. The girl nestled in between their arms was the girl they endlessly chased, their true love. She was the goddess that gave them light and hope. At this moment, the expressions were all graced with happy smiles. As long as they had each other, their existence wouldn’t feel so lonely.

Closing her eyes, a ghost of a smile rested on Gu Weiyi’s face. In the darkness, a tiny, pleasant voice sounded out.

“Ge, I love you.”

The statement was said both softly and shyly whilst also maintaining a firmness to it. After saying this, Gu Weiyi felt satisfied and fell into a dreamless slumber. She missed seeing the tears fall down from two beautiful twins’ eyes in the darkness. They felt that, for these four words, they would be willing to give up their lives.

KOH Chapter 503

Chapter 503 Her Fiancé?

But, there was no need to hurry, soon this person would become his own.

Fen Yunjing’s eyes swiveled over to Shen Sen as he faintly laughed, “The evidence clearly shows that Xi Yue killed the Third Prince Shangguan Rui. Isn’t Elder Shen worried that the reputation of Qing Xia Sect will be affected if you continue to shield him and obstruct the imperial guard?”

“You’re telling lies!” Before Shen Sen could respond, Shen Qingchuo angrily yelled out, “Where’s the proof? Just then we asked that imperial guard to bring out proof, how come he can’t take it out? Moreover, even if you have proof, I’m certain that you framed Xi Yue!”

“Chuo’er, don’t be rude.” In one motion, Shen Sen pulled his niece back.

Feng Lian Ying, who was standing behind Feng Yunjing, cast a loathing glare in Hexi’s direction before turning her head to face Shen Qingchuo with a soft smile painted on her face, “Chuo’er meimei, you can know someone for a long time without knowing their true nature. You must not allow yourself to be tricked by this Xi Yue’s outward appearance.”

She stepped forward two steps, her body moved like she was moving clouds and flowing water, giving off the appearance of an immortal. On her face, she wore a mild and affable smile that caused people to easily form a favorable impression upon first look.

Standing in front of Shen Qingchuo, Feng Lian Ying let out a sigh and said, “Chuo’er meimei, you’re the pearl in the palm of you grandfather’s hand so you haven’t yet seen the ugly side of this world. Therefore, you don’t know that this world has numerous repulsive people who are beasts hiding behind a human face.”

“When I first met this Xi Yue, I was also tricked by his outward appearance. I too thought that he was a modest gongzi. However, later on I learned that he… I learned that his heart was actually so shameless and ruthless. He actually tried to seduce my fiancé and repeatedly framed me.”

“Chuo’er meimei, you’re still young so you’re gullible. But, by the time yo’ve been tricked by him, it’ll already be too late. This is something I, jiejie [1], definitely doesn’t wish to see happen to you.”

Feng Lian Ying’s words were reasonable and deeply sentimental. One after another, the martial artists circling around Hexi all turned to look at her in disgust as they fell for Feng Lian Ying’s words.

Someone couldn’t help but mutter on their breath, “I was just saying how this man has such evildoer looks. As it turns out he’s like a cunning fox, even going as far as to try and seduce other people’s fiancé’s. He really is too shameless.”

“Who is the fiancé that he seduced ah?”

“You don’t know this? Naturally it’s His Majesty the King of Hell ah. You don’t know, but before, there were rumors spread in Yan Jing Country that the King of Hell was behaving intimately with a man on the streets. Everyone thought that the King of Hell had a cut sleeve [2]!”

“A–– So it’s actually His Majesty the King of Hell! If he’s shameless, then we won’t talk about it, but he actually dares to drag the King of Hell down with him. He’s truly too vile. No wonder that even the Ice Lotus Fairy, who has such a good temper, would look down at him with so much loathing.”

When Feng Lian Ying heard everyone around her discussing, she felt immensely proud of herself. Turning around to look at Shen Qingchuo again, the smile on her face became even kinder, “Chen’er meimei, my words now aren’t for selfish reasons, I just hope that you won’t be cheated by this person…”

“I won’t be cheated by others and Xi gongzi won’t trick me!” Shen Qingchuo snapped and couldn’t help but loudly yell out, “I remember you, Ice Lotus Fairy, Feng Lian Ying, you… You’re the shameless one, what qualifications do you have to speak of Xi gongzi?”

Feng Lian Ying’s face was painted with shock, but Shen Qingchuo didn’t stop there, “I… I also entered into the Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory. You… Don’t think that I don’t know you exited the Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory with no clothes on your body. I… I… I saw all of it. You.. You’re the one who doesn’t want to save face. You provoked His Majesty the King of Hell and now he doesn’t even want you. You also actually want to frame Xi gongzi. You’re the one whose truly shameless here!”

[1] jiejie – an older sister, but in this case, Feng Lian Ying is calling herself jiejie and Shen Qingchuo meimei in order to make it appear that they’re close/are friendly.
[2] cut sleeve – a euphemism for being homosexual

KOH Chapter 502

Chapter 502 Venomous Snake

Luo Yingchi was both the Emperor’s personal guard and the commanding officer of the imperial guards.

But when he faced Shen Sen, Luo Yingchi didn’t dare to act big. His voice carried great respect as he replied, “Replying to Elder Shen, it isn’t us whose deliberately causing trouble for Xi gongzi. Rather, it’s because Xi gongzi is suspected of killing the Third Prince, so the Emperor has ordered this subordinate to go apprehend her*.”

Shen Sen narrowed his eyes, “What proof do you have that says Xi gongzi killed the Third Prince?”

“This… The proof is in the Emperor’s hands, this subordinate isn’t clear on it. However, as far as this subordinate knows, this Xi Yue has had issues with the Third Prince previously and ever since then, they’ve harbored hard feelings for each other. Perhaps it’s because of this reason that she killed our Third Prince in the Sealed Dragon Domain in order to vent her hatred.”

Before Shen Sen could respond, Shen Qingchuo already yelled, her voice full of anger, “Impossible, Xi gongzi isn’t that type of person. Moreover, your Jin Ling is too unreasonable if it places a crime on someone purely based off of guesswork!”

Shen Sen held onto the emotional Shen Qingchuo, stopping her from talking, and unhurriedly laughed, “Since there’s no evidence, what reason do you have to seize someone? Wouldn’t it be better of the leader went to get the evidence before arresting the person? Xi Yue, let’s leave…”

When Luo Yingchi saw that Shen Sen was just about to walk away with the person, he urgently said, “Elder Shen, that’s not possible. We’re acting under imperial orders, we cannot allow for Xi Yue to be taken away…”

Why would Shen Sen pay attention to him? He held onto Xi Yue was just about to leave.

Qing Xia Sect was one of the four largest sects on Miluo Continent. They didn’t even pay attention to Tian Gang Country’s monarch, so why would they pay any mind to Jin Ling, this insignificant country?

But, before Shen Sen could step out, a man’s gloomy voice rang out from behind him, “Shen Sen, you’re a grand elder of Qing Xia Sect, could it be that you want to ignore what’s right and shield an assassin?”

Shen Sen turned around and when he saw the person behind him, his pupil slightly contracted, “Feng Yunjing!”

Liu Li Sect was in Cang Ming Country and Qing Xia Sect was in Tian Gang Country, the two sects both minded their own business. However, regarding the matter with the ruler of Feng family and the person who truly wielded power in Liu Lu Sect, Shen Sen was very clear on it.

At a young age he was already at Nascent Soul Stage. Moreover, his personality was fiery and firm and he had innumerable amounts of magic weapons on his hands. To provoke him and the Feng family would be like provoking a viper; it would be difficult to back out once you’ve done so.

Behind Feng Yunjing was an exquisite, immortal-like woman wearing a white cotton skirt and a handsome youth– it was Feng Lian Ying and Nie Jinchen.

Shen Sen frowned and said, “Young Master Feng, what is the meaning of this?”

However, Feng Yunjing’s burning gaze was currently resting on Hexi. His gaze was so intense that it made it hard for others to ignore it, even if they wished to.

After not seeing her for a few months, he found that the girl had grown into an even more beautiful and moving. person. Even though she was dressed in men’s clothes and wore no jewelry, it was still impossible to hide her lovely features.

Her skin was snow white, like porcelain, and there were no blemishes to be seen on it.

Her phoenix eyes were colorful and clear, but in them there was a cold gleam. Even though she was in these circumstances, her eyes still held a calm and unflustered light. It felt as if she didn’t feel a hint of fear or confusion.

Feng Yunjing pursued his lips as he unconsciously entered a fantasy. That face appeared by his side and held a weeping and begging expression. When he thought about this celestial snow-like, lofty, and proud person being ruined under him, with misty eyes and calling out his name, his eyes ignited with a burning fire.

He suddenly clenched the hand laying limply by his side. He deeply sucked in a breath, forcibly trying to suppress the on-coming heat wave.

Translator Note the new school year is hitting hard 😓 I hope you guys are faring better than I am

ATBPY Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Golden Cover & Unshakeable Cloth

Dirt walls made up the base of the houses while Snow Tree bark was used as the roofs. In the small village, white smoke could be seen occasionally rising up from the chimneys whilst children joyfully laughed out loud, as well as the sound of studying, which accompanied their laughter. This formed into a tranquil and warm scene in the midst of the frosty wind.

In the village was a newly constructed private school, which the hunting families had spent ten whole days building. Through the slightly opened window, a figure was standing inside the building. The figure was entirely wrapped in white, and they were holding a soft, fox fur coat. On her head, they wore a fox tail, which acted as a snow white cap. Her adorable cheeks were bright red as they were excitedly speaking of something. Sitting in front of her were ten or so children that were each about seven years old. The group of children was composed of girls and boys and all of their faces held inquisitiveness as they listened to their teacher tell a story.

“Therefore, good children never casually open the door and let Grandmother Wolf come inside. If that happens, the children will meet danger!” The girl’s clear and pleasant voice intentionally carried a trace of danger as she warned the children. On the floor, the children nodded their head, half-understanding what she was saying, but they all knew that they didn’t want to be like Little Red Riding Hood.

“Okay, now Teacher wants to teach everyone a song. Follow along and sing!” The jade-cut woman faintly smiled and hint of sweetness was distributed in the air.

“If you asked me what I would wish for after my death and what I would leave behind, I would reply:

A good child on the earth, good children must listen and hold good thoughts.

After all, I can’t always be by your side and protect you.

I’ll give you a golden canopy and unshakeable cloth, da la da la.

No matter how rugged the path is, don’t feel afraid.

I’ll give you a good soul and kind intestines, da la da la

No matter how beautiful the scenery you encounter, you’ll still willing to share it with others.

Yesterday night, I secretly told him of this remote opinion;

The world only has two foolish children left

Although foolish children are foolish ah, they’re still kindhearted.

……”

A tender smile appeared on the woman as she enthusiastically sang her song. But unfortunately, a plump boy raised his chubby hand and timidly asked, “Teacher, what is a golden canopy and unshakeable cloth?”

Like a blocked tape, the woman’s singing abruptly stopped and her eyes became wide open as she looked on awkwardly, “This.. Is a type of outstanding martial arts skill that can protect you guys. That’s right, just like that!”

Very certain, the woman nodded her head while the expression on her face remained serious. But, before she could collect her bearings, a girl with an apple-shaped face raised her hand. She faintly bounced up and down in anticipation, causing her ponytail to wave back and forth, “Teacher, do you really wish to give that martial arts skill to us? But, how come I don’t feel any different from before ah?” The little girl seemed to be taking it all very seriously, as right after she asked this, she began to roll up her sleeve in order to check as to whether or not she had became a high level martial artist yet.

Cold sweat formed and began dripping down from the young lady’s forehead, this really was a difficult child ah! “Actually, Teacher wasn’t talking about a type of martial art skill.”

“Then what is it? How come Teacher has changed her story so quickly? You aren’t trying to cheat us are you?”

“This, really is…” The young lady rubbed her forehead and tried her best to keep the smile from appearing on her face. She thought for a moment before she spoke again.

“Actually, every person has their own guardian angel. This angel can’t be seen, but it’ll stay by your side forever. In times of fear, it’ll give you courage and hope! If you use the martial arts world to speak of this angel, it can be called the golden cover and unshakeable cloth.”

She narrowed her eyes, feeling a headache coming on. What nonsense was she spitting ah, she had really lost her mind this time. Hopefully she hadn’t led these children astray, otherwise, it would be her sin.

“Then, there’s a guardian angel by little girls’ sides?” A little girl with goat-horn shaped braids raised her hand and expectantly asked the young lady.

“That’s right, every person has one by their side!” A satisfied smile formed on the young lady’s face. This group of children had finally been settled by her. It seems like she truly has the potential to be a kindergarten teacher ah! She seemed to have many prospects in this job, it seems like she had to continue developing it and achieve success ah!

“Ya (expressing surprise), it seems like our dads’ have returned!” Xiao Pang [1] was looking outside the window and excitedly called out the news. When the other children heard him, it seemed like a pot had exploded. Immediately, all the children rushed out to see what prey their dads’ brought back this time. Soon, the room had been entirely emptied and only the young lady was left sitting there, completely dumbstruck.

Indeed, she had failed ah! She had thought that she had set herself up as an imposing teacher ah!

“Today, daddy defeated a large bear! Daddy is so awesome!”

“E! We can have yummy things to eat now! Next time, Daddy will bring maltose back for us!”

“……”

Hanging her head, the crestfallen girl brought the fox fur coat in her hands closer and couldn’t help but feel that it was somewhat cold. In the midst of her pity-party, she felt a wave of warm breath engulf her. Without needing raising her head, she already knew who it was. Involuntarily, the young girl’s mouth curved up and she threw herself in the other party’s arms, closely hugging onto their shoulder.

“Ge has returned?”

“En.” His voice was light, like a soft breeze, but it carried an unmistakable trace of intense love. His slender figure and large, warm arms carried her petite frame and directly walked outside.

Outside were the fathers’ who were being surrounded by their wife and children. The children wore naive smiles as they shouted out praises and the entire town was filled with cheerful and lively yells. The scene was filled with a homely warmth. But, the group of three didn’t feel any envy when seeing this scene, because they had a happiness that couldn’t be entered by anyone else. Still carrying her, the two men faced the Snow Forest and began to walk into it’s depths. Their home wasn’t located where the hunting families’ homes were, rather, their home lay in the depths of the Snow Forest, inside a remote cave. That was their home, a place that was remote and undisturbed by others. Gradually, the three people were further and further away the crowd of people. From behind, their figures seemed so harmonious and warm, making it evident that there wasn’t room for another person. 

Both brothers walked side by side. Xue Yunge carried Gu Weiyi whilst Xue Zhuyue carried the white tiger. A trail of footprints followed behind them, one shallow and one deep.

“Ge, you guys caught a white tiger ah?” Her curious eyes landed on the white tiger resting in Xue Zhuyue’s arms. Gu Weiyi extended her hand and was just about to pet it, but she was intercepted by Xue Zhuyue.

“Don’t, Yi Yi, this white tiger has blood on it, don’t touch it.”

“O.” Gu Weiyi retracted her hand, “Why has gege caught him*?”

Lightly laughing, Xue Yunge poked her nose and a doting smile blossomed on his enchanting face, “So he can be a pet for Yi Yi ah. When gege isn’t around, he can protect you and when it’s cold, Yi Yi can hug it and stay warm ah!”

Wrinkling her nose, Gu Weiyi said with a voice filled with discontentment, “I don’t want that, I want gege to be my golden cover and unshakeable cloth. How can this tiger be anywhere near as awesome as gege? And, it’s hug can be as warm as gege’s!”

“That’s right, gege is forever Yi Yi’s golden cover and unshakeable cloth, we’re Yi Yi’s guardian angels ah!” How could she not be their guardian angel? Together, they protected and guarded each other. In this life, they were already extremely happy.

Wasn’t this Heaven’s compensation to them? Everything was part of their past. Now was their new life, they no longer had different colored eyes, they had become ordinary people. In this remote place, they lead a simple and honest life. There was no more disorder nor were there discriminating or banishing eyes. As long as they could pass a lifetime living days where they woke up and saw that smile, then they would be delighted to do so.

[1] xiao pang – haha, his nickname translates to little chubby~
*I’m going to peg the white tiger as a male, since the author has changed it’s gender so many times T-T

KOH Chapter 501

Chapter 501 Murderer

A few moments later, that guard came back, but this time, he had seven or eight martial artists following behind him. Each of the martial artists were at Gold Core stage.

The person heading the martial artists had a bearded face, making it hard to tell his age. However, his cultivation had already reached the summit of Gold Core stage.

His tiger eyes carried a trace of chilliness as he directly stared at Hexi. His voice was quiet as he asked, “You’re Xi Yue?”

“That’s right.”

That martial artist immediately waved his hand and sternly ordered, “Capture her for me!”

Right after he said this, those martial artists behind him charged forward and surrounded Hexi.

And at some unknown guards, some of the temporary residence’s guards had come and formed another vague circle around the seven or eight martial artists.

Hexi frowned and asked, “I got my invitation from Ouyang Jiangjun and came to participate in the hunting competition, may I please ask what’s the meaning of all this?”

That martial artists scoffed and lowly said, “Brazen traitor, you committed such a grave crime, and you actually dare to run here. You walked right into a trap, I see that you’re impatient to live.”

After saying this, he faced the shocked martial artists standing nearby and cupped his hands together. With a clear voice, he announced, “Jin Ling’s Emperor’s personal guard, Luo Yingchi, has provided a secret imperial degree to capture the culprit who murdered the Third Prince Shangguan Rui.”

“Xi Yue, your crime of murdering the Third Prince Shangguan Rui in the Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory has already been publicly announced, do you have anything else to say?”

The light in Hexi’s eyes faintly turned cold and chilliness slipped across her eyes, but she didn’t lose her head.

“You guys say that I murdered Third Prince Shangguan Rui, but do you have evidence?”

If she didn’t remember incorrectly, Shangguan Rui should be the first pitiful victim of Feng Lian Ying’s Five Elements Blood Coagulating Pill.

Yet, how come the crime of killing Shangguan Rui has now been put onto her head?

It seems like her coming to participate in the hunting competition had already been calculated by her opponent.

He he, Feng Lian Ying, you’re sinister enough. You stealing my achievements, I won’t speak of, but you actually dare to put your crime of killing someone onto my head.

The bearded martial artist coldly snorted, “The Emperor’s secret imperial degree is proof. Come people, quickly seize him for me!”

Seeing that Hexi had been surrounded by the seven or eight Gold Core stage martial artists and that she was already in the position of an easy target, Shen Qingchuo felt extremely worried.

Shen Qingchuo anxiously said, “Xiao shushu, how can they trap Xi Yue and kill him? We should quickly go and help Xi Yue.”

Shen Sen knit his brows and answered, “This is Jin Ling country’s affair. We’re visitors, if we recklessly get involved, bad things can happen. It would be better if we lay low and watch the situation before thinking of ways to help Xi gongzi escape…”

“If we lay low and watch, Xi gongzi will be hurt by them!” Shen Qingchuo was on the verge of tears, “Xiao shushu, you… If you have a heart of stone and don’t wish to help, it’s fine, I… I’ll go help Xi gongzi myself…”

After she said this, she ignored the crowd and recklessly charged over.

Shen Sen helplessly watched on. He saw as Shen Qingchuo neared the martial artists and was just about to start opposing them. He was left with no other alternative but to step forward and use his spiritual pressure to heavily say, “What’s going on?”

The several Gold Core stage martial artists were reduced to trembles by Shen Sen’s voice that carried spiritual pressure. The surrounding guards were even more unable to stand it and they recoiled a few steps back.

When the bearded martial artists saw Shen Sen, his originally arrogant expression turned respectful and flattering, “Elder Shen, this subordinate didn’t notice you* here. This subordinate has alarmed you*, I’m truly sorry.”

Shen Sen’s expression remained indifferent and his tone remained light as he slowly said, “This Xi Yue is related to our Qing Xia Sect and even arrived with us. Why would he been stopped here by guards?”

*He’s saying it respectfully

Chapter 500 Sweetheart

“When you’re younger, it won’t be clear, but when you’re older or perhaps when your water attribute is promoted, you may find it hard to even walk.”

Anxious, the disciple immediately asked, “Xi gongzi, are there anyways to help me?”

“That is very easy.” Hexi faintly smiled, “All you have to do is gather cassia twig, achyranthes root, earthworm, qin nai, rhizoma atractylodis, and immortal spirit. Then, boil all of these ingredients until it becomes medicinal juice, it’s best if you have someone whose an expert in the fire attribute to come do this for you. Then, each time you practice your water attribute, spread it onto the afflicted areas. After a long time, the dampness in your joints will be removed and you won’t feel pain anymore.”

When the disciple heard her orders, he felt overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Hexi.

Hexi’s response caused the rest of Qing Xia Sect’s disciples to be unable to wait anymore, at once, they all started asking her questions.

“Xi gongzi, after my daily meditation, my chest always hurts and I feel nauseous, do you know why this could be happening?”

“Xi gongzi, I have an old father whose now fifty-three. A few years prior, his body was well, but these past two years, he frequently feels dizzy and sleepy, do you know why this…”

“Xi gongzi… Xi gongzi…”

Shen Sen looked at the group of youngsters surrounding Hexi and intimately calling out her name and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, what left him the most amazed at was that these disciples questions were of all sorts of problems, and each one was odd and suspicious. Even their Qing Xia Sect’s fourth ranked doctors weren’t able to cure them. However, this youth in front of him, which looked nothing more than sixteen or seventeen years old, was able to answer each one that came her way. 

The youth’s voice was mild and elegant, and he spoke clearly. His black and white eyes were clear and calm, causing people to inexplicably want to trust him.

He was such a remarkable man, no wonder Chuo’er would be so captivated and think of him so much.

Although his cultivation was still quite low, he was still young. And if they were going to compare minds, his beat Chuo’er’s many times over. If you think about it a little, it’ll one day shine.

Shen Sen cast a glance at his niece and saw that her eyes were glued onto Xi gongzi’s figure. Her expression contained shyness and cowardice, when he saw this, he couldn’t help but tease, “I say, Chuo’er, isn’t this the sweetheart you missed and longed for over these few months and days? Now that you’ve finally met again, why aren’t you going up and speaking to him?”

Shen Qingchuo shyly buried her face in her hands and mumbled, “Xiao shushu, how could you say such nonsense? What sweetheart? If Xi gongzi hears of this, I’ll lose so much face ah!”

Shen Sen burst out in laughter. By now, the group had already reached their destination.

Shen Sen and the rest of them handed over their invitation to the guard, who immediately turned respectful upon seeing it. Soon after, he nodded his head and another guard appeared. His head was bent and he lead them to their seats of honor. 

Hexi was the last one to hand over her invitation card. The guard in charge of checking over the invitations was originally carelessly doing so, but his expression soon turned grave. He held her invitation in his hand and refused to hand it back to Hexi.

“Is there a problem with my invitation?”

The guard looked at Hexi then turned to look at Shen Sen and everyone else waiting for her and hesitation appeared on his face.

His eyes immediately turned back to her and he laughed, “Gongzi’s invitation card has a problem, I need someone to come verify it for me. Asking gongzi to please wait a moment.”

After saying this, the guard secretly motioned to his companions before quickly exiting.

Those guards’ manners looked unconscious, but they quickly formed a semicircle around her, stopping her from exiting the lobby.

Chapter 499 Journeying With Qing Xia Sect

[2/3] chapter generously sponsored by mara ♥

The man cast a glance at Shen Qingchuo before looking away and slowly walking forward before stopping in front of Hexi. He extended his hand out and introduced himself, “I* am Qing Xia Sect’s Shen Sen. Many thanks to you** for saving Chuo’er’s life in Sealed Dragon Domain. I still haven’t asked, what is gongzi’s name?”

Hexi calmly extended her hand out and grasped his, “I* am Xi Yue.”

After seeing him, Shen Sen was immediately filled with more respect for this youngster.

Not only was he respectful because he saved Shen Qingchuo’s life, but he saw that he was a mere Foundation Establishment stage, yet when he faced him, he emitted a pressure that was neither servile nor overbearing, and it was completely calm.

Moreover, Qing Xia Sect was one of the four largest sects in Miluo Continent and Chuo’er’s identity within the sect was special. However, he showed no signs of wanting to curry favor.

When Shen Qingchuo heard Hexi introduce herself, she mulled over the two characters “Xi Yue” for a few moments.

She sneaked a glance at the youth in front of her. He was quiet, elegant, and outstanding. He was clear and bright, similar to the moonlight, and he surpassed the sky and mountain’s snow.

This type of person, hadn’t appeared before, even in Shen Qingchuo’s fantasies.

Moreover, he was so brave and powerful, he had saved her from her nightmare in Hell.

When Shen Qingchuo thought of this, her face turned a shade redder and she lowered her gaze, not daring to look at Hexi any longer.

She tugged at Shen Sen’s sleeve and lowered her head, and occasionally, she glanced up at Hexi. Her voice was that of a mosquito’s as she said, “Has Xi gongzi come to participate in the hunting competition?”

“That’s right.”

“Then… I… My fellow students and I have also come to participate.” Shen Qingchuo’s voice was filled with expectations as she suggested, “It would be better if we went together to the sign-up place. If… If the number we pull out are close, perhaps we’ll be set to nearby positions.”

To enter the Breaking Spirit Mountain, you had to go into the teleporting array in the order that you drew your number. However, where you teleported was completely random. Therefore, there wasn’t anything such as being sent to closer positions just because the numbers they drew were close.

Shen Sen lowly coughed and held back his smile, but he didn’t go to expose his family’s niece’s thoughts, “Xi gongzi, if you haven’t come with a sect, it would be better if you go with us to the meeting place, wouldn’t it?”

Hexi didn’t hesitate to nod her head. Rather than going alone, it would be better if she went with Qing Xia Sect, which would save her many inconveniences along the way.

So, together, the few people avoided the crowds and walked to the nearby residence.

Although the road there wasn’t long, it still allowed Shen Sen’s impression of this youth named Xi Yue to become better and better.

He was elegant, his voice was pleasant, and when he spoke, his words were neither servile nor overbearing. There wasn’t the slightest hint of a loose, low level cultivator who felt inferior or bitter.

Moreover, Shen Sen had originally planned to talk to him about cultivation and kindly point some things out to him.

However, who could’ve known that Xi Yue’s knowledge of cultivation, dantian’s, and meridians would even be beneficial to him.

As for the disciples following behind Shen Sen, they were currently swarming Xi Yue and incessantly asking questions, completely forgetting that Xi Yue was a low-level Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

“Xi gongzi, why do my knees feel slightly sluggish whenever I practice the basics of my water attribute? Not only that, the higher my cultivation becomes, the more that sluggish feeling in my knee turns to pain.”

Hexi cast a glance at the young disciple, she observed his color and also used her spiritual power to look over his knee, before she slowly said, “Your constitution leans more toward Yin and coldness and the water attribute is classified as negative, so once you practice it, your yin and cold air will become congested in your joints.”

*In the raws, he refers to himself as 在下 (zài xià), which is a humble way of referring to oneself
**In the raws, he calls Hexi 阁下 (gé xià) which can be translated as ‘your distinguished self’ or ‘your excellency’

Chapter 498 Meeting Shen Qingchuo Again

[1/3] chapter generously sponsored by mara ♥

Three days later, Hexi arrived at Jin Ling’s imperial family’s temporary residence at Breaking Soul Mountain.

The residence was enormous and decorated splendidly, presenting a dazzling sight to all who beheld it, that is, except for martial artists. To martial artists, all this couldn’t meet the eyes of an immortal cultivator.

Just having arrived, Hexi was just about to pull out her invitation card, but she was interrupted by the sound of a woman’s surprised voice, “Gong… Gongzi?!”

Surprised, Hexi turned around and came face-to-face with an elegant and beautiful young lady.

The young lady’s appearance was seemed familiar, but no matter how long Hexi pondered over it, she couldn’t recall where she had seen her.

“Gongzi, it’s really you?!” The young girl’s face was filled with satisfaction and she lightly ran over, “Thanking gongzi for saving my life last time. Has gongzi fared well after leaving Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory?”

Saved her life?! Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory?!

Once the young girl’s words were out, Hexi immediately remembered her, “You’re… Shen Qingchuo?”

Hexi had always possessed the ability to remember everyone she met, but at the time, the young girl was such a sorry figure, a complete contrast to her now, as she was wearing magnificent clothes, so the Hexi didn’t immediately connect the two.

Shen Qingchuo was extremely surprised, each time she spoke, her voice quivered, “Gongzi, I never thought you would actually remember me… I… I engraved the memory of gongzi saving me, I haven’t forgotten it since.”

The young lady’s face was bright red and her voice was quivering and quiet, like that of a tiny fly.

Her entire person looked like a flower that had been touched by dew. She emitted a shy aura and her eyes were sincere and clear.

In response, Hexi’s tone unconsciously softened by several degrees when she saw her, “It was merely a slight effort, Young Lady Shen, there’s no need to be so troubled.”

Shen Qingchuo immediately wanted to refute those words. That wasn’t a mere effort, it was a life-saving grace that she had etched into her memory.

But before she could even speak, a male’s soft voice sounded out from behind her back, “Chuo’er, is this your new friend?”

When Shen Qingchuo heard that voice, she immediately turned around and affectionately called out, “Xiao shu [1], this is the person I spoke to you about, the gongzi who saved me in Sealed Dragon Domain. If it weren’t for her, Chuo’er would’ve long died in that mist and I wouldn’t be able to see xiao shu and yeye [2] anymore.”

Hexi raised her head to size up the newcomer. All she saw was a man that looked to be about twenty seven or eight years old. He looked to be cultured and refined, but when she sensed that his cultivation had, terrifyingly, already reached the middle of Nascent Soul stage.

And standing behind him were a couple disciples, each of whom were wearing cyan colored clothes. Most of these disciples were already at a high level of Gold Core and Meridians stage.

When the man heard Shen Qingchuo’s words, he reached a shaking hand out and rested it atop her head. With unhappiness coating his voice, he said, “You still have the nerve to speak of that. That day, we urged you not to go, we told you that Sealed Dragon Domain’s border was extremely dangerous and didn’t want you to follow your senior male and female students there. But you? Not only do you not listen, you actually even colluded with younger students to run away from the group and sneakily run to the Secret Territory.”

“Fortunately there was someone to save you, otherwise, if your yeye came to know that your body was in Jin Ling country, he would’ve wreaked havoc on Jin Ling country. If you continue to disobey us, we’ll lock you up on Qing Xia Mountain for a hundred years. You’ll have to cultivate everyday and you won’t be able to come down!”

When Shen Qingchuo heard his threat, her face immediately showed suffering and she grabbed onto his sleeve and looked up at him with pleading eyes, “Xiao shushu, I already know my wrongs, don’t scold me okay? Especially not… In front of gongzi’s face, can’t you leave me some face ah?”

[1] xiao shu – her paternal uncle
[2] yeye – paternal grandfather

KOH Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Breaking Spirit Mountain

[1/1] chapter generously sponsored by anonymous ♥

Her self-disciple wasn’t only from training for ten days in the sword fight, it was also due to what happened after her Elder Jiang. Once again, she had a taste of her Maha Inheritance. Even though her cultivation hadn’t raised by much, her cultivation and actual fighting skills were much stronger than before.

Gu Liufeng released a breath and said, “Now, if you go to the hunting competition and there aren’t any major mishaps, nobody will be able to threaten you.”

“You guys were the one with groundless fears in the first place.” Hexi softly smiled and retorted, “I’ll go inside to wash up first, this afternoon, I plan to set out to Breaking Spirit Mountain.”

Breaking Spirit Mountain, as the name implied, was a place that ordinary people couldn’t enter and return from. 

Breaking Spirit Mountain is a mountain range that stretches thousands of kilometers from south to north. Running across all three countries, it was a mountain range far more vast than Cang Mountain.

Breaking Spirit Mountain’s highest point was located in the middle of Jin Ling country. There, thick fog swirled around the mountain, all year and there were countless magic beasts that called the mountain home. The ranks of the magic beasts there were quite high, it could be said to be second only to those in the Magic Beast Forest.

Moreover, most of the magic beasts in Breaking Spirit Mountain had lost all rationality, they were completely savage. The magic beasts were cunning and treacherous in a completely different way than the ones in the Magic Beast Forest. The magic beasts residing here were even able to take the shape of a human, so normally, few people would willingly step onto the mountain.

However, because of how savage the magical beasts were, they would even occasionally come off the mountain to harm people. Therefore, the Elders from the four biggest influential families and the largest sects created a large array to prevent the magical beasts from coming down and prevent others from entering.

Afterwards, the four biggest sects suddenly opened up a relatively safe location at the top of the mountain one year. Inside, there were numerous magical beasts at sixth rank and lower which could be hunted, and any other magical beasts weren’t drawn to the location.

Every four years, a hunting competition would take place and everyone participating would be sent to this location via a teleportation array. Once they arrived, they would all kill the magical beasts. Every time they killed a magical beast, they would need to obtain their inner core. This way, they would earn points. Whomever ended up with the most points would be declared the champion of that year’s competition.

The more they held this competition, the more Miluo Continent buzzed about it, so naturally, there were more and more martial artists competing each year. 

This was because, not only would you obtain good achievements during the big hunting competition, you would also earn many of the large sects’ interest.

As for the elite disciples of the large sects, if they were able to perform exceptionally well, they would be able to receive great honor within the sect, earning them much more rewards and resources. 

Jin Ling country is actually a very small country, so for the hunting competition to be held here was merely based on the geographical location of Breaking Spirit Mountain.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was a sect or the imperial family handling the event, they would each treat it as a major event. And the people of Jin Ling country who were able to receive an invitation were very few and far between.

After saying this, Hexi began walking inside the room. But, who knew that Wu Xin’s figure would suddenly flash and come forth.

Without waiting for Hexi to say anything, he stuffed the things in his hands toward Hexi’s and in a lowered voice, he said, “Wangfei, while you’re participating in the hunting competition, please wear this. During a crucial point, perhaps it can help you pass it.”

While saying these words, Wu Xin’s face seemed unsightly, he seemed to be full of discontentment and restlessness. But soon, his expression changed into sincerity as he asked Hexi this.

Hexi held the jade slip in her hand and inspected it. No matter how she looked at it, all she saw was an ordinary jade slip that was light green in color and held no peculiar points.

She then raised her head and looked at Wu Xin with a beseeching expression. She couldn’t help but sigh before saying, “Okay, I’ll accept it.”

ATBPY Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Xue Yu Forest

Underneath the sun and twinkling stars,

I’m able to see clearly so long as I have you.

Opening my eyes, I touch the light,

Without you, I’d rather rest for eternity than of wake.

As long as I can see you,

I can traverse through the world.

Looking up at you, I can’t help,

But to breathe you in and exhale air,

This way, I can maintain my life.

I left my Mother’s body just to find you,

Without you, I don’t want myself.

I want to mature and die in your embrace,

This is my chosen fate. Xue Yu Country is located at the very northern-most part of the world. All year, it’s weather is bitter cold. Despite the fact that Xue Yu Country has the most land within the three countries, it’s economy wasn’t prosperous. By comparison, Xue Yu Country was the lowest of the three countries. However, the other two countries didn’t dare to wage war against Xue Yu Country mainly due to the fact that their weather was harsh and Xue Yu country had trained a formidable army! They were able to trek across the country, resist the cold, and could be said to be invincible; they were well-known within the three countries. Xue Yu’s Emperor is called Dezhao and he had succeeded the throne thirty years prior, he could be considered to be a wise ruler. Emperor Dezhao has five sons and seven daughters. Following the ancient system, the crown prince was already set, he was the eldest prince. The difference between Xue Yu and the other two countries was that Xue Yu had a national teacher. The national teacher was so noble that they were even exempt from kowtowing. Xue Yu believed in the Snow God and the national teacher was able to communicate with the Snow God and convey it’s wishes. Thus, even if Xue Yu lacks an emperor, it must not lack a national teacher!

Xue Yu Forest was located in the country’s most remote corner. Due to how frigid the climate was, traces of people were few and far between in the area. At the foot of the mountain, there were only ten or so households. Each of the families relied on hunting in the forest to sustain themselves. From here, the nearest town, Luoshui, took at least one day and night to reach. The ten or so families here would save a portion of the prey they hunted and each month, they would all set off to Luoshui to sell the animal fur and obtain daily products. 

Within the dense forest, the Snow Tree sported lush, green leaves as it thrived in the bitter cold environment. Little bits of snow rested on the tree’s branches, but they were unable to bend the tree’s straight branches and bark. Perhaps, the meaning of life was the same as this; unbending and tenacious, daring and struggling against fate– only then would one’s own life be one’s own. The more suffering there is, the stronger one must be, because the only person who can defeat you is yourself.

This was a snow-covered world, but it was still a beautiful world that’s full of energy and life. Suddenly, a white tiger appeared, tearing through the forest. Behind it, it brought along a frosty wind and scattered snow. Soon after, urgent footsteps and the sound of breathing emerged as a male soon appeared. His voice was rough and unsatisfied as he said, “I don’t believe that I, Tie lao san [1], can’t catch that big fellow! When I finally catch up to it, I must properly teach that fellow a lesson!”

All around, taunting laughter was heard and it seemed to be directed to the person calling themselves Tie lao san.

“I’m telling you Lao san, don’t come here to boast about yourself! Last time didn’t you say the same about that wild boar? In the end, Xue gongzi had to act else you would’ve been eaten by the wild boar!”

“Ha ha ha, that’s right ah. Lao san, this time that white tiger is much more difficult than the wild boar!”

Ten or so men appeared in the forest wearing humble, winter clothes made mostly of animal skins. The male leading the group appeared to be about forty years old. He sported a large beard that rested on his honest but wild face. At present, he wore a look of dissatisfaction as he looked at everyone around him; it was obvious that he was Tie lao san.

“Naturally I can’t compare to Xue gongzi, but compared to you guys, I’m the leader!” He wasn’t boasting, before Xue gongzi appeared, it was he who knew where the beasts roamed and how to set up traps and trap them. But, Xue gongzi seemed to know much more than he did, leaving him, Tie lao san, feeling inferior. The two Xue gongzi’s martial arts were exceptional, when they went hunting, it looked as if they were performing a dance. This was the first time he had seen someone so celestial looking, so naturally, he was happy to give up his title as King of Hunting to them.

“Okay, stop talking nonsense. That white tiger has already gotten so far away, do you want to catch it or not ah!”

The ten or so people ran forward. Tie lao san took out the bow and arrow stored on his back and drew the bow, aiming it at the white figure in the distance. That was a rarely seen white tiger whose fur was bright white and even whiter than the snow on the ground. Tie lao san let go of the bow and shot his black arrow directly at the white tiger’s thigh. “Pu chi” sounded out in the forest as his arrow sunk into the skin. The white tiger howled out in pain and anger, but it still hung on and limped forward.

“Tie lao san, you’re as good as ever ah! Your arrow skills are still so awesome!” Everyone surrounded him and praised his skills. Hardly modest, Tie lao san received all their praising words and proudly stated, “Naturally, who doesn’t know of my, Tie lao san’s, arrow skills?”

Then the group rushed forward. The white tiger was injured, so it was unlikely that it would be able to run far. Luckily, the white tiger they met today was young, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to succeed so easily. White tigers were quick and resourceful, making them a difficult catch. However, their fur was beautiful and even with a thousand gold coins, it would be difficult to buy some. If they were able to catch that white tiger, it would be enough for these few hunting families’ to have food for the next month.

With a cheer, the traveling hunters quickened their pace and followed along the bloody trail of footprints. At the edge of the forest, they saw the white tiger’s figure. However, the few people didn’t dare to step forward and disrupt the scene in front of them.

A male wearing white clothes was currently squatting down and nimbly binding the white tiger’s wound with his slender fingers. His head was tilted down as he focused on the task, making it impossible for the group to clearly see his face. His long hair was bound up and draped over his shoulder. It looked like an inky waterfall in the distance, that was both blurred and beautiful. On the outer corner of his eye, there was a tear birthmark, that looked like it was on the verge of collapsing, which added to his charm. Standing nearby was a male wearing purple clothes. He was silently watching as the white clothed man bound up the tiger. His eyes were pitch-black and a faintly discernible smile hung on his face.

“We want this.” The clear, cold voice cut through the frigid air and the white clothed male lifted his head. Exposed on his face was the same expression as the male standing nearby, except his felt looked more like that of a relaxed lotus. He lifted his slender finger and pointed at the left side of the forest, slowly saying, “That, is for you.”

Everyone looked over at where he was pointing and saw an immense, already dying, black bear! The black bear was easily three times the size of the white tiger! On the snowy floor, there was traces of blood everywhere, but there were few traces of a fight. Everyone shared looks of dismay at the shocking new advancement. Only Tie lao san was bold and walked closer to take a look. Nearing the black bear, he saw that it’s mouth was unceasingly spitting out mouthfuls of blood, as if it had been slapped to death by someone!

“What, is it not enough?” The purple clothed man’s seductive voice rang out, but it was laced with coldness and carried no emotion.

Of course it was enough, how could a young, white tiger measure up to a majestic black bear?! They were obviously the one getting the upper hand in this situation. Tie lao san hurriedly nodded his head, “It’s enough, in fact, if Xue gongzi wishes to have the bear, you can have it as well.”

His words were sincere. After the two Xue gongzi arrived, they had helped them with catching prey, making their lives many times easier. Not only that, the two Xue gongzi’s were also experts in the healing arts. Whenever someone got hurt in the woods, it was always the Xue gongzi’s who cured them. Each of the hunting families regarded these two Xue gongzi’s with respect and fear. Although they were very kind, they were still quite cold and hard to get close to. By comparison, it was still Yi Yi that was good. She was beautiful and kind, and would even teach the children to read and write, free of charge. They were common people, where did they have the money to send their children to private schools ah? In their entire lifetime, they hadn’t even seen pen or paper. However, for their children to have this opportunity, they were extremely grateful.

“Xue gongzi, nighttime is approaching, let’s all head home now.” Tie lao san looked around before summoning the courage to open his mouth.

However, the two beautiful male’s were disinclined to pay attention to him. The white clothed male carried the white tiger and together with the purple clothed male, they both turned around and walked away, leaving only their backs to be seen.

Embarrassed, Tie lao san scratched his head, but didn’t pay much more attention to it. He was a simple person in the first place, so his heart didn’t feel much toward their indifference. He felt that as such a simple person, he wasn’t very worthy to speak to such celestial creatures. So, the ten or so hunting families split up into two rows and carried the black bear on their shoulders, heading outside of the forest.

[1] Lao san – I’m assuming it’s his “rank” in the family, ex. He’s the third (san (三) means three) child/son & Tie is the surname or name
