Chapter 138: Arriving at the Black Forest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Outside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
A carriage with a special marking stopped at the door.
The four of them followed behind the silver-haired Sister Dao and got into the carriage one after another.
The cold and arrogant girl named Qin Yuemo was still the last to get into the car. She sat with Sister Dao.
The carriage slowly drove away.
Everyone in the carriage sized each other up and fell into a short silence.
After the carriage left the inner city, Sister Dao said with a cold expression, “All of you paid the Treasure Gathering Pavilion gold coins, so they will be in charge of your transportation. They have arranged this carriage to send you to and from the city. There won’t be any obstruction when you enter or leave MO City. They also provide trading services for the corpses of the beasts you kill. I’m only responsible for bringing you to the periphery of Black Forest, where low-level demon beasts often appear. As for other matters, you can only rely on yourselves. You can choose to hunt together or hunt alone. If you choose to hunt together, you can discuss amongst yourselves how you want to split your gains.”
As this was the first time Luo Qingzhou and the other two men had gone out of the city to hunt demon beasts, Sister Dao explained everything in detail.
“If you want other services, such as asking me to personally lead you to find demon beasts and asking me to help you in hunting demon beasts, you can discuss it with me in private. My asking price won’t be very high, and it’s cheaper than the shop. In the evening, there will be a martial artist market in the Black Forest. If someone successfully hunts a demon beast, they can sell it in the market. Even low-level demon beasts are full of treasures. Don’t waste them and throw them away for nothing.”
“Some demon beasts don’t have demon cores, but their fur is very valuable…’ Luo Qingzhou listened very seriously.
Occasionally, he would glance at the cold and arrogant girl sitting beside Sister Dao, and a flash of doubt would race through him.
Why was this girl called Qin Yuemo?
What relation did she have with the Qin residence?
That night, when he wrote the first poem on the pleasure boat, the name he had written was Yuemo.
Song Ruyue’s yue, and Qin Weimo’s mo. That was how the name came about.
However, Qin Yuemo had suddenly appeared today. How could he not be curious?
The carriage left the outer city and sped up.
Outside the window, snow was still falling from the sky, but it was not very heavy.
After Sister Dao finished doing the introductions, she suddenly turned around and looked at the cold and arrogant girl sitting beside her. “I remember that you were called Song Meijiao last time. Why are you called Qin Yuemo now? Can you stick to one name?”
The cold and arrogant girl crossed her long legs and continued to look down at her fingers and nails nonchalantly.
There was a pale gold ring on her slender finger.
The surface of the ring was engraved with strange patterns.
Luo Qingzhou had seen rings similar to this one in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, but they were not as beautiful and textured as this ring.
Moreover, those rings were all extremely expensive storage rings.
He could only look at it but was unable to afford it.
In other words, this girl was terrifyingly rich.
However, she was flaunting her wealth in such a high-profile manner. Was she not afraid of being robbed in the Black Forest?
“Miss Qin, you’re not from MO City, right?”
The young man called Han Bei was thick-skinned again and started to hit on her.
Qin Yuemo continued to look down at her fingers and ignored him.
Han Bei was not embarrassed. He smiled and continued, “The leather jacket that you’re wearing is not simple, Miss Qin. It’s most probably sewn from the skin of a very precious demon beast, right? It’s said that such clothes can resist fire, water, and some damage. Also, the storage ring on your finger is not simple either. Without tens of thousands of gold coins, you won’t be able to purchase this.”
Unexpectedly, just as he finished flattering her, the cold and arrogant girl pursed her lips with a look of disdain. “Country bumpkin.”
The smile on Han Bei’s face froze.
Sister Dao glanced at him and said, “That’s a Violet Cloud Ring produced by Ziwei Pavilion, a shop in the capital. Each ring costs at least 500,000 gold coins. Moreover, it’s not sold outside and can only be custom-made.”
Han Bei was at a loss for words.
There was a sour smell in the car. Her words had aroused jealousy in everyone.
The carriage carried the five of them for a while.
Han Bei started to chat again. “Sister Dao, I heard that the Grand Princess is coming to MO City in a few days. Will she ride a horse into the city so that we can catch a glimpse of her?”
Wu Kui could not help but say, “The Grand Princess is a female general, so she should be riding a horse. It’s unlikely that she will sit in a carriage. By then, the streets of MO City will probably be packed with people.”
Han Bei said excitedly, “I hope that I can see the Grand Princess. I heard that she is dressed in red armor and she is extremely beautiful.”
Sister Dao threw a cold look at him and warned, “Don’t talk about the Grand Princess and don’t show that ugly smile of yours. Besides killing demon beasts, I also like to kill anyone who disrespects the Grand Princess.”
Han Bei’s expression changed slightly. He said with a smile, “Sister Dao, please calm down. I am just curious to see what the Grand Princess looks like. I dare not commit blasphemy against her. The Grand Princess has fought everywhere and risked her life to bring peace to the border of Great Yan and Mo City for
decades. I am a citizen of Great Yan. How can I not respect the Grand Princess?
My respect for the Grand Princess comes from the bottom of my heart. The sun
and moon can bear witness to it!”
Sister Dao had a cold look on her face, and she ignored him.
Han Bei could tell that Sister Dao was a devoted fan of the Grand Princess, so he did not dare to talk about the Grand Princess anymore. He turned to the cold girl and said, “Miss Qin, can we form a team later? It is dangerous to be alone.
The more people there are, the safer we will be.”
The cold and arrogant girl gently touched her ring and took out an exquisite small mirror. She began to look at herself in the mirror and continued to ignore him. “Miss Qin…”
“Piss off.’
Qin Yuemo finally seemed to be impatient. She raised her eyes and looked at him coldly.
Han Bei’s expression froze and he shut his mouth.
But soon, he could not help but speak again.
He turned around and looked at the dazed youth beside him. He smiled and said, “Little Brother Chu, shall we go together later? If we kill a demon beast, we’ll split it 50-50. How about that?”
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and nodded. “Sure.”
Han Bei laughed and patted him on the shoulder. “Little Brother Chu, you’re indeed one who abides by the code of brotherhood. If we have good cooperation this time, we can come out by ourselves next time so those fellows from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion won’t take advantage of us again. Money doesn’t come from nowhere, so we should save as much as we can. You are so young, so you shouldn’t have a wife yet, right? Save more money, and when the time comes, you can marry a beautiful woman. You will have a way better life than now.”
Luo Qingzhou asked, “Are you married, Brother Han?”
Han Bei suddenly sighed and said, “I originally had an arranged marriage, but
I’m from a poor family background, so it did not work out. These days, nothing matters more than family background. Both parties must have the same family background. Those people are full of themselves.”
After a pause, he sneered and said, “But I don’t care. When I’m successful in my cultivation and have money and power, I’ll be able to get a wife anywhere. At that time, I’ll buy a big courtyard and marry eight to ten delicate little concubines. Wouldn’t that be much better than marrying a woman who is from a rich family and having to be controlled by her every day? Don’t you think so?” Luo Qingzhou did not dare to agree.
Han Bei seemed to be interested. He ignored the two women sitting opposite him and approached him with a smile. “If I’m really so lucky, I definitely won’t forget you, Little Brother Chu. Didn’t those scholars say to always share our concubines and difficulties? Hehe, when the time comes, Little Brother Chu, you can come to my place to have fun. I’ll guarantee that you’ll have your fill of fun and be satisfied!”
In other words, what he meant was: If you’re my buddy, come and cheat on me!
Luo Qingzhou frowned and did not say anything. He turned his head and looked elsewhere.
Han Bei had a lewd expression on his face. Just as he was about to continue talking about this topic, a whip suddenly flew over from the other side and wrapped around his neck like a poisonous snake!
Then, with a whoosh, the curtain moved and he immediately disappeared from the carriage.
A scream suddenly sounded from the ditch outside.
Then, he started cursing.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the cold and arrogant girl named Qin Yuemo.
The whip in her hand had automatically shortened and wrapped around her slender waist again. The handle swayed slightly as if it had never been taken off her waist.
The cold and arrogant girl looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and looked elsewhere.
“If you keep peeking, I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
The young girl warned him fiercely. Then, she lowered her head and looked at herself in the mirror, admiring her charming and beautiful face.
The carriage jolted along.
Han Bei’s legs were flying as he chased behind the carriage. He was still cursing.
Soon, the carriage turned into a small path.
After driving for a while, they slowly stopped.
When Luo Qingzhou got out of the carriage behind the silver-haired Saber Dao, he saw Han Bei panting as he ran over. He was still cursing through gritted teeth.
However, when the cold and arrogant girl with a powerful aura got out of the carriage last and looked at him coldly, he immediately stopped scolding her.
He ran over with sweat all over his forehead. A red mark had appeared on his neck. He panted heavily and said, “Miss Qin, if you don’t like to listen to me, feel free to cover your ears or tell me to shut up. You didn’t say anything but suddenly attacked me. This is not the doing of a proper martial artist.”
Qin Yuemo turned around and walked toward the forest in front of her. She ignored him and did not look at him again.
Sister Dao waved her hand and said, “Follow me. The entrance to the Black Forest is in front. After I bring you in, you’ll have to rely on yourselves.
Remember, many trees there are marked. You can only stay at the periphery. You must not enter the depths. If you don’t listen to my advice and die inside, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
At the beginning of the registration, the team members had signed a
life-and-death contract.
Those who entered the Black Forest to complete missions were responsible for their own lives.
Luo Qingzhou and Han Bei followed behind.
Han Bei wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked fiercely at the back of the graceful and sexy girl at the front. He gritted his teeth and sneered. “Just watch.
In a few days, I’ll get that b*tch into bed! When the time comes, I’ll make her obedient. She’ll cry and beg me to torture her to death. Hehehehe…”
Luo Qingzhou frowned and quickened his pace.
He did not want to get too close to such a person.
That girl’s identity was clearly not that of an ordinary family. Since she dared to come out alone, she naturally had her backing.
This man called Han Bei was obviously a hothead. He could not hold back his words, and he could not keep anything to himself. Moreover, he was simple-minded and impulsive.
Working with such a person would only ruin things.
“Little Brother Chu, wait for me.
Han Bei chased after him with a smile on his face.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at his eyes and suddenly heard the words he was thinking, “Third Brother is indeed not exaggerating. That girl’s appearance and figure are indeed top-notch. I’m sure there are a lot ofgold coins and treasures hidden in her storage ring. I’ve struck it rich today! We didn’t plan for so many days in vain. I’ll put on a show in front of these people first to make them lower their guard. I’ll defeat them one by one later. However, this kid looks a little poor and looks a little silly. I wonder how many gold coins he has. ”
“Little Brother Chu, let’s go together.”
Han Bei came over and patted his shoulder with a smile. He grinned and said,
“That b*tch has a bad temper. She must be very energetic in bed. Little Brother
Chu, what do you think?”
Luo Qingzhou did not reply. He smiled blankly, but a cold glint flashed across his eyes..
