Chapter 179 (2/2)
”But there is a problem. The Black Turtle Territory has innumerable Devil Cults, and the Vermilion Bird Territory has different tribes everywhere. Those places are not within our domains.” The Queen Lady of Ice opened her mouth.
”No matter. I will personally go speak with the Black Turtle Territory's number one Devil Cult, the 'Devil Star Palace.'11 In all likelihood, with such a powerful Star Master, even they would be very willing to collaborate with us. And the Vermilion Bird Territory…Headmaster Handan, we will attack with everything, but as for the other particulars, those will be left to the Shifting Flower Sword Sect. The Shifting Flower Sword Sect originated from the Vermilion Bird Territory, so this will not be problem, will it.” Enviless of the East was unquestionable.
Handan nodded: ”Only naturally, but for us to spend so much trouble on killing a single Star Master, would it not anger the Liangshan Maiden?” She worriedly asked.
”The Liangshan Maiden? Fear her, my ass.” Ancestor Qianli was discontent. ”If she has the capability, then just slaughter our Ten Great Sects already.”
”Be at ease, Lin Chong provoked us first. It can be presumed that Liangshan Maiden is a heart clear as a mirror.” Enviless of the East pensively said.
”En. This is fine.”
Then, everyone again deliberated the details, with regards on how to arrange for the Star Masters' entrance into the two territories, how they would contact each other, how they would station checkpoints leading to and from the Vermilion Bird Territory, etc. A frightening alliance unprecedented in history that was composed of the first-rate cultivators of the Ten Great Sects had been born.
And at this time, our implicated person was currently immersed in controlling his Sword Chant.

One day after he finished training, Su Xing sat down panting for breath.
”Su Xing, just what should we do about that Wu Song?” Shi Yuan looked at the cool and elegant beauty a hundred meters away that had closed her eyes in meditation. Her tone was ill-humored. The Thief Star's nature had always been carefree and outspoken. Although the incident when Wu Siyou nearly killed Su Xing several days ago startled everyone, this made the Thief Star have negative feelings about her.
Su Xing grabbed his hair, for he did not know what he should do either.
”How about you let Yingmei go comfort her. Little Sister Yingmei certainly did break the Harm Star's heart.” Wu Xinjie mockingly looked at Lin Yingmei.
Lin Yingmei's expression was somewhat not too natural. That bold declaration last time was still vividly on her mind. Let alone that Wu Siyou had not yet recovered from the shock, the other sisters that had been with her were also surprised by the turn events. This was unexpected.
”What is there to comfort her about. Could it be she still has some thoughts about my woman?” Su Xing tyrannically spoke, grabbing Lin Yingmei's arm.
”Young Master!” Lin Yingmei somewhat heated up in embarrassment, and the beauty laughed into her sleeve.12
”However, why is Wu Siyou this unwilling to accept that Yingmei has signed a contract? She refers to herself as 'Your Concubine,'13 so could it be she has some black history?” Su Xing randomly guessed.
”Where did Young Lord hear that 'Your Concubine' requires a contract? Has Young Lord not ever heard of this phrase?” Wu Xinjie blinked.
”What does that mean?”
”Your Concubine means that she is unnamed, meaning a young girl that has not yet married, or that she has not yet obtained recognition, or that her current title has not been updated.” Yan Yizhen explained. ”Could it be she wants to receive other people's recognition?” The Skilful Star was also somewhat curious.
”No.” Lin Yingmei shook her head: ”It is only because Siyou does not want to let other men approach her that she favors referring to herself as Your Concubine.”
Everyone suddenly understood. So it turned out that she did not want other men to have any thoughts about her. However, this way of thinking was indeed a novelty.
Wu Siyou abruptly rose. It was unknown whether or not she had sensed they had been chatting about her, but the woman walked this way.
”Su Xing, are you a man or not?!” Wu Siyou coldly said.
Su Xing nearly blurted out that old, out of date line, ”You'll know if I'm a man or not in bed,” but seeing as how Wu Siyou would probably go berserk hearing that, Su Xing countered with his own question: ”Wu Siyou, what do you want to say?”
”If you are a man, then prove to Your Concubine that you have the qualifications to make Lin Yingmei become your woman!” Wu Siyou's eyes were very sharp, as if they were making one last struggle.
”Siyou?” Hearing Wu Siyou so nakedly say that she was Su Xing's woman, Lin Yingmei could not help but somewhat blush.
”If this man cannot do so, then even if Your Concubine burns both jade and stone, she will fight you to the death!” Wu Siyou said very firmly. Her words contained a courage that made people shiver.
Su Xing actually somewhat had increasing admiration for this cool and elegant woman. He playfully smiled: ”Then what do you feel I should do to in order for you to believe I have the qualifications to become Lin Yingmei's man?” Is it to conquer you? Su Xing thought in evil delight.
”Very simple.” Wu Siyou fixed her eyes on Su Xing. Her eyes had a brilliance that made others awed. She spoke, word by word: ”Your Concubine wants you alone to go obtain the Evil Smiting Writ!!”
”Absolutely not!”
Su Xing had yet to reply when the other beauties rejected.
Author’s Note:
PS: Concerning gold: It actually is not possible to exchange gold. Most of the time, various sorts of items are used to swap wares for wares. Gold conversion only acts as an approximate value. Hypothetically speaking, ”This thing's value is several pieces of XX stone,” is confusing.
