Chapter 626 – Singing Loudly (2/2)

Gu Yanying laughed inside. This kid sure knows how to act!

Big sis, you said Northmoon is impressive, but he doesn’t seem special at all to me. You better be careful just in case he gets pulled to Si Qing’s side and works with him to deal with you! Si Bao said to Gu Yanying with some worry.

“I know what to do.”

“Heh. Big sis, as long as you flaunt your beauty a little, you’ll make this Northmoon change sides mid-battle!”

“You’ll be underestimating him a little too much if that’s what you think.”

E Dan smiled at Northmoon. “How are these women? Are any to your liking?”

“The women aren’t bad, but the songs they sing are all so soft. It’s completely powerless. I feel drowsy from listening to it!”

“Oh? I didn’t think you’d understand music so well? Then what has a sense of power? Don’t tell me it’s the roar of wild beasts?” Si Qing smiled.

The cultivators could not help but smile. To think that even uncivilised daemons would blindly criticise the music of humans. He was basically asking to be humiliated. The moon demon was very powerful, but they still possessed a natural sense of superiority as humans. They only treated him as an extremely-powerful wild beast.

Northmoon acted like he was unable to tell Si Qing was mocking him. He leapt up from his seat. “Speaking of which, when I was refining the river that night, I looked up and saw the stars, which put me in a great mood and I sang this song. I’ll broaden your horizons today!”

He arrived beside the musicians in a flash. The musicians were also all female, scattering in fright.

He completely ignored them. He picked up a zither and casually plucked a few strings before shaking his head and throwing it by his feet. Afterwards, he picked up a reed-piped sheng and blew it blindly a few times before tossing it aside.

TL: A sheng a Chinese wind instrument made from reeds. You can read more about it here: (instrument)

The cultivators looked at one another, communicating secretly through their soul sense, “Is the moon demon serious?” “Forget it, just treat it as a monkey show!”

Northmoon’s eyes drifted out the window before suddenly lighting up. He flew out before flying back in, carrying the huge drum used to report time in his hands and placing it on the ground with a thud.

Afterwards, he swung the drumsticks, thumping away. A fast-paced rhythm suddenly appeared.

Northmoon sang happily at the top of his lungs, “East flows the river! The stars shine ‘round beidou! Hey! Hey! ‘round Beidou ah! Friendship in a bowl of wine ah!”

TL: This is from a very well-known, catchy Chinese song, 好汉歌, or Song of Heroes. It was made in the nineties for a television adaptation of Water Margin. You can listen to the original here:

Or, you can listen to some “English” versions:

The moment he bellowed out, it echoed through the clouds and reached kilometers away. Let alone leaving Si Qing and the others dumbfounded, even Gu Yanying felt like she had just quivered.

I have no idea what it means, but it seems very powerful!
