Chapter 2 (2/2)
Pang Wan was still immersed in the happiness of encountering the male lead, not at all noticing the arriving of danger. She looks over the young man, intoxicated in his extraordinary appearance, her heart containing a voice drumming and dancing in joy —— this person has such stunning bearing at such a young age, and that expression is also so venomously fierce, he will surely achieve great things in future ah!
She too has a reason for such happiness, in the land of Mary Sue, those with generally lukewarm personality are all supporting males, unable to win over the female lead’s heart, also difficult for them to stay together forever. Should such a stunning man be reduced to a mere supporting role, it truly makes one feel a little unwilling to let it be.
The youth seeing Pang Wan’s expression showing not the slightest of change, was somewhat surprised, with a turn of his wrist, wanting to turn the blade to strike towards Pang Wan’s throat —— anyone who knows martial arts would be able to see, this pretty young man truly wants to take Pang Wan’s life.
“Insolence!” A thunderous scold sounds from behind, “Quickly withdraw that sword!”
The youth purses his lips, the action of his hand freezing, but does not abide by those words in withdrawing his sword.
“Nan Yi! You sure are very daring, to actually publicly defy Sect Leader’s orders!”
Yet another middle aged man’s voice travels over, containing warning and caution, also slight worry.
That pretty youth called Nan Yi sounds a cold laugh, turning towards the menacing presences that had arrived —— Bai Yue Sect Leader and Lord You.
“Father, you’re really choosing this wretched girl? Intending to give {{Xi Sui Jing}} (bone marrow cleansing scripture) to her?”
The youth gazes at the man of big and tall built that came charging to him, eyes like a cheetah, bloodthirstily vicious.
As if to protest, he slightly gathers dark energy, the sword once again moving forward three points, looking to just about make contact with Pang Wan’s throat.
Pang Wan finally snaps out of it, immediately frightened stiff, nerves freezing in place.
“Young Master Nan Yi, Sheng Gu has been clearly stated in the sect’s codes, a genius that comes once every hundred years.” The one who spoke up is the Lord You, good at giving methodical and patient guidance, with a warm and gentle tone, “Moreover the approach of that {{Xi Sui Jing}} leans more towards femininity[3], much more suited for women to practice, so why must Young Master persist?”
The youth casts a glance at Pang Wan from the corner of his eyes, contempt reaching the extreme: “This person, other than being a woman, what other areas can she surpa.s.s me in? The secret manuals of our Bai Yue Sect, how could it possibly fall into the hands of such an unworthy little chick?”
“Father!” He suddenly thinks of something, sword-like brows making a jump, phoenix eyes sharpening.
“If Xi Sui Jing can only be pa.s.sed onto women and not men, I shall immediately speak to Elder Dongfang, requesting for him to help turn me into a woman, never to regret and go back on my words!” Once the youth spat all this out in one breath, his face is filled with a radiant s.h.i.+ne.
(Dongfang here is in reference to Dongfang Bubai, from 笑傲江湖 Swordsman or The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, a male who castrated himself in order to practice the Sunflower Manual, he later becomes a supremely formidable martial artist and also grew increasingly feminine)
Dun dun dun, the maids outside the doors all collapse into one big pile.
“Nonsense!”
Sect Leader’s face turns green, facial features contorting into one: “Insolent rascal, do you know what it means to turn from a male to female?! That means……”
“I know I know.” The youth nonchalantly cuts him off, shrugging his shoulders without an ounce of care, “Elder Dongfang had said, male turning into female means losing the lower part, gaining the upper part, cannot follow the common customs of wedding a wife and having children, but can s.n.a.t.c.h a few favourable men back as companions, pa.s.sing days with a carefree spirit, it is after all much more free and comfortable compared to those pure men.”
“That is why such stupidity, such foolishness that is women……” He turns back to contemptuously glance at Pang Wan, spitting out at her, “I’d rather not care for!”
Bright red blood mixed in with saliva, flows out from Pang Wan’s gaping mouth.
She savours the sweet iron taste in her mouth, currently unable to clearly tell whether she had actually been injured by the prowess of the sword, or whether she had been shaken by the youth’s imposing manner.
This is not going right at all, she thinks, the world of Mary Sue should not be like this ah.
This pretty youth, should he not fall in love with me at first sight and then we become childhood sweethearts? No matter how much more arrogant and domineering he can get, he can only be an awkward little bully at most, should be containing endless rains of unspeakable love for me ah!
Why? Why did he come charging over to kill me? (The crucial point is killing for real)
Why? Why does he want to become a woman? (He actually knows he would lose his lower part!)
The Pang Wan at that time did not know yet, there is no end to the sea of misery, in the world of Mary Sue, repent and the sh.o.r.e shall be in reach.
She only makes a very confused speculation, perhaps this is a very different Mary Sue story —— when the heavens drop major responsibilities and burdens onto such people, it must certainly first have them experience distress before developing strong will, have them worked tirelessly to the bones, have their body and skin endure hunger, have their being subjected to extreme poverty, have them act in line of overthrown confusion……[4]
The many catastrophes and battles thereafter, Pang Wan relied on faith in order to persevere and soldier on.
En, we cannot deny, in fact, she is very optimistic.
