Chapter 69: Elegant And Graceful (2/2)
Qin Mu said, ”My name's Qin Mu, what's yours?
The girl curled the hair around her ear and smiled, ”My name's Yuxiu.”
Qin Mu asked, ”Yuxiu from elegant and graceful*?”
The girl was astonished, ”How do you know my surname is Ling?”
”Ling Yuxiu? That's a nice name.”
Qin Mu praised and continued, ”If you face was slightly thinner, you would fit your name perfectly.”
Ling Yuxiu gave him another kick resentfully and put on her shoes before jumping down, ”I'm ignoring you!”
She landed on the ground and took two steps forward before turning her head back bewilderedly, ”Why aren't you following me?”
Qin Mu was confused, ”I thought you said you were ignoring me so why do I have to follow?”
”Petty!”
Ling Minxiu waved for him to come over and giggled, ”I have a way to enter the City Lord's Manor, now the City Lord's Manor is very bustling, let us go and play! Don't you want to see what the big shots of Great Ruins are doing and talking about?”
Qin Mu's heart slightly stirred and he jumped down from the temple's eaves and quickly caught up to her, asking her curiously, ”How do you enter the City Lord's Manor?”
”We obviously enter with just and honor!”
Ling Yuxiu led the way and came to the gate to the City Lord's Manor. There were four divine arts practitioners guarding the door who didn't say anything when they walked past and allowed them to enter the manor.
Qin Mu was astonished and whispered, ”Sister, are you the daughter of Border Dragon City Lord?”
”He wishes!”
Ling Yuxiu spat, ”My dad has a bigger influence than him! I can enter and leave this Border Dragon City Lord's Manor at will. Over there in the front is the River Suppression Floor, where Fu Yundi is hosting the honored guests.”
Qin Mu looked forward and first, he saw a huge lake with clear bluish ripples. Pearls as big as wicker baskets were placed in the pool and they gave off a gentle glow that was bouncing off the surface of the lake. There were almost many females servants carrying a lantern and standing on the shore motionlessly, lighting up the entire lake in this manor.
River Suppression Floor was built on the side of the mountain that was beside the lake that was shaped like a goose. Looking from afar, the interior of the building was a dazzling sight as it revealed the feeling of suddenly getting rich in overnight. The Border Dragon City Lord wished more than anything else to paste gold leaves all over River Suppression Floor, seriously indulging in a life of luxury!
In the River Suppression Floor, a few female dancers were dancing gracefully in the middle of the room, their sleeves fluttering along with their fragrant skirts. With their dance accompanied by music and drum beats, it was a very beautiful sight.
In the middle of the lake was a flat square stage that was three hundred yards wide. At the bottom, an extremely thick pillar was supporting the stage. In the sky floated a few gloomy lanterns that lit up the entire stage like daylight.
Sounds of explosions came from the stage, as two youths were currently sparring. Qin Mu came to a halt and revealed an expression of astonishment. Both of the two youths were very strong and had extraordinary abilities.
One of the youth was the one on the street who had been pulled by the middle-aged man with a hundred dragon coins to fight the other youth in the arena. He should be a White Tiger Spirit Body and his White Tiger Vital Qi was in a golden copper state. There were two colors on his body being a radiant gold and a dark brown ancient copper.
When his opponent hit his body, it gave off sonorous sounds similar to the sound made by the copper Buddha when it was moving. A series of sparks could even be seen!
Making use of White Tiger Vital Qi to cultivate his body to this extent was considered extremely brilliant. It was no wonder he dared to enter the City Lord's Manor to fight in the arena.
His opponent's age wasn't old neither and was similar to Qin Mu. Being only fourteen to fifteen years of age, his attacks were extremely ruthless. He was using eight swords where each 'hand' held one sword.
They weren't his real hands but were his vital qi. He was using vital qi to control eight swords at once.
”Eightfold Heavenly God Technique?” Qin Mu asked softly.
The Eightfold Heavenly God Technique that the youth executed was different from the Eightfold Heavenly God Technique, which the Border Dragon City Lord, Fu Yundi, had executed.
Fu Yundi had already cultivated out his apparition where an Eightfold Heavenly God stood behind him.
The youth's Eightfold Heavenly God Technique hasn't reached that level yet but the method of circulation complemented the method used by Fu Yundi.
Ling Yuxiu replied, ”He's the son of Fu Yundi, called Tingyue. Come to think of it, he is also a pitiful person. He didn't have a mother since young and was brought up single-handedly by Fu Yundi…”
Chii—
Two of Fu Tingyue's sword stabbed into the eyes of his opponent. The two swords then spun forcefully, grinding the eyes of the opponent.
His opponent's White Tiger Vital Qi was extremely strong and have cultivated his body like steel. However, he didn't cultivate his eyes yet and let out a wretched scream when he was blinded. Fu Tingyue didn't kill him straightaway nor did he stop there. Instead, he slowly cut the blinded youth, severing his fingers one by one as he gave an expression of excitement.
Qin Mu frowned and turned his head towards Ling Yuxiu, ”He's a pitiful person with no mother?”
Ling Yuxiu also jumped in shock and immediately pulled his hand to bring him to River Suppression Floor while smiling, ”I'm getting hungry, let's go grab something nice to eat! I'm also a guest here so I can't bother everyone too much…”
*钟灵毓秀 - Meaning elegant and graceful. In pinyin Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, which was why Ling Yuxiu wonder how did Qin Mu know her surname was Ling
