Chapter 322: Call Me Sister

Translator: IreneEditor: X/TYZ

Outside Jadeite City, the floating mountain peak pressed down on everybody’s hearts like a big rock, suffocating them.

Every passerby couldn’t help but raise their head for a look at the lofty mountain peak. Under the sunlight, the words ”Guardian of Five Elements” gave off an impression of boundless prestige and austerity. A ray of light would flash past occasionally, reminding people of its danger.

The God-subduing Peak entered Jadeite Forest and wherever it passed it evoked intense panic.

The high officials and aristocratic families who had initially called for an alliance with Blood of God all vanished without a trace. And the elders, whom Shi Xueman invited on board to tour around and view the demonstration of its attacking power, were all ashen-faced with worry and unease.

People with foresight understood that the appearance of God-subduing Peak would thoroughly change the battle form.

Shi Xueman did not care too much since she was distracted by the latest news. Everything from the exposure of Ai Hui’s identity, the destruction of Sha Guards and the public peddling of fire lotus seeds, to Miao Hai’s challenge, Elders Guild’s commendation, the mirage bean pod that swept across the whole Avalon of Five Elements, and the attention-grabbing Five Elemental Eight Treasures Porridge.

And she was still in high spirits, buying all the message bean pods with news about Ai Hui.

The rest of the time she strolled in Jadeite Forest City, looking around and buying things.

The sky was a dark blue color and the beautiful sunlight penetrated the lush forest, illuminating this jadeite green city. The season of blooming flowers had come again, with pink petals appearing like pieces of dreamy feathers drifting in the wind and making crisp bell sounds. It was the most beautiful season in Jadeite Forest. At night the feather flowers would emit a faint pinkish fluorescence. They were like night fairies.

Walking under the bright sunlight and falling petals, amid the busy streets and crowd, Shi Xueman felt cheerful. She carried big paper bags that contained pastries she’d purchased along the way. There were long forest baguettes and soft, sweet viridescent balls and seasonal fresh flower biscuits. There was also a fluffy, fragmented pale-blue wild flower that was given to her as a gift from the bakery boss.

She walked into an alley and arrived at the entrance of a house. She knocked on the door.

Creak. The main door opened and the person behind it looked at her, smiling. ”You’re quite early today.”

Shi Xueman smiled slightly. ”I have nothing else to attend to anyway.”

She held onto the bags and stepped inside, closing the door behind her.

Beside the main door was an old, broken wooden board that had the words ”Society of Excellence” on it.

Duanmu Huanghun, who was training, saw Shi Xueman walking in. He couldn’t help but mockingly comment, ”People might think you’re here for a holiday trip. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to be idling like this? You’re an honorable person in charge of a diplomatic mission after all.”

Shi Xueman tossed the snacks around to everyone while answering, ”I’ve accomplished my mission. To intimidate you all with God-subduing Peak. What else do you want me to do? Find a wife for you?”

Duanmu Huanghun stopped his training and responded in a resentful tone shortly, ”Solve your own problems first. Don’t forget that you’re Iron Lady.”

Shi Xueman handed out the last pastry and rolled up the bags, throwing them into the bin. After that, she warmed up her fists and sneered, ”Do you know why I’m so early today? I’m here to put you in order. If you can’t even beat that She woman, why are you acting all mighty in front of me?”

Being wise, the others held their pastry in their mouths and paved a space for them.

Yu Ziyi and Wu Qirong were the quickest.

Duanmu Huanghun’s face paled. He feigned coldness, shouting, ”I’m a gentleman. I will not fight against a woman! The relationship between Jadeite Forest and the Avalon is very subtle. Do not jeopardize your mission. As Duanmu family’s…”

Shi Xueman remained unmoved. She raised her chin and kneaded her fists. ”Call me sister!”

Duanmu Huanghun flew into a rage. ”Do not be a bully, Shi Xueman. This is Jadeite Forest. You don’t want to provoke me…”

Shi Xueman approached him while cracking her knuckles and stretching her shoulders. An unfathomable gush of latent elemental energy surfaced like a sea with a dangerous aura.

In everyone’s eyes, Shi Xueman seemed to have grown taller. Tall enough to obstruct the sky and cast a devilish black and dangerous shadow. Through the gaps between her teeth she smiled eerily, ”Call me sister!”

Duanmu Huanghun was like a frightened kitten, the hairs on his body standing on end. The recent, torturous training had sharpened his mental state and pushed his essence-breath-spirit to its peak. He narrowed his eyes, dangerous light rays flickering within. His voice was as cold and heart-piercing as a knife as he released his concealed and fatal blow in a straightforward manner, ”Fine!”

The cold winter turned to warm spring as Duanmu Huanghun broke into a big smile. ”Sister Xueman!”

Dead silence.

Thud. The pastries in Yu Ziyi and Wu Qirong’s mouths fell onto the floor as they stood motionlessly with their jaws wide open. Those around them were dumbstruck as well.

Brother Huanghun...

The dangerous aura Shi Xueman had been emitting just a moment ago vanished in a puff of smoke.The raging sea returned to its usual calmness in an instant as the sunlight pierced through the black clouds above the sea.

A bright, sunshine-like smile appeared on Shi Xueman’s face. ”Did you call me Iron Lady earlier?”
