CHAPTER 49 - ANNOYING COMPANIONS
Translated by Luxican
"This is a public place... Miss, we shouldn't make trouble along the way. Hurry and apologize to the two," the Martial Master headed towards Yun Canghai and nodded at them. His eyesight was good. Even though, the two of them were plainly dressed, their atmosphere wasn't ordinary.
The girl was very arrogant and unreasonable, she took the Great Magician and walked a bit further.
The Martial Master had no choice but to shake his head and walked towards Yun Canghai: "Brother, I'm sorry, my young lady's temper is a bit harsh, but her nature is still good. Are you also going to Yue Wu Mountain? Would you like to join us?"
It was obvious that the girl's temperament was arrogant, and the guards accompanying her must have suffered a lot along the way.
However, a girl of seven or eight years old who could become a Magician was considered to have good talent.
Yun Sheng didn't want to go with such a girl, but Yun Canghai unexpectedly agreed to the invitation.
Yun Sheng was surprised and wondered what Yun Canghai's intentions were.
"Uncle Chi, I don't want to be with her, just look at her, she doesn't even have a decent magic wand," said the girl as she stomped her feet, after she heard that she was going to walk with Yun Sheng, the female magician also had a worried face.
She took the Martial Master aside and said respectfully: "Master Chi, why did you invite unidentified people to go with us? You also know that Miss Huang's identity is sensitive."
While they were looking for a Soulstone, it should also hone the little girl's character. Otherwise if the little girl enters the Magic Academy, she would be excluded by the other youths, because of her temperament.
The Martial Master sighed, he had heard his peers' whispers about the young lady. If it wasn't because of her identity, they would have probably already tossed the towel.
But his mother-in-law had received a life-saving grace by her family, and so, he reluctantly accepted the escort request.
The Martial Master was very hard-working. He saw that Yun Sheng had many similarities to Miss Huang, she was a similar age, looked clever and she was also an aspiring magician. Who knows, Miss Xiao might even get along with her and unexpectantly change her temper.
The female magician surnamed Mu nodded, and explained it to the little girl. The girl stared fiercely at Yun Sheng and pouted alone.
The female Great Magician looked good-tempered, and she walked to Yun Shen and Yun Canghai, " Good day, my name is Mu Shuiyue, and this girl is Huang Ling, what should I call you?"
"Hello, I'm Yun Canghai, this is my daughter Yun Sheng, please take care of us along the way," Yun Canghai treated outsiders with a nonchalant attitude.
After that, the two joined the team of Huang Ling, and the group quickly arrived at a checkpoint.
Martial Master Chi took out a token and showed it to the soldiers stationed there.
The soldiers and guards hurriedly saluted.
" I'll take some people into the Yue Wu Mountain Range for a trial," Lord Chi pointed at the few people behind him. Yun Sheng realized that her father must have known about the papers needed to enter Yue Wu Mountains and that's why they joined the team.
With the token of Lord Chi, the group smoothly entered the Yue Wu Mountain.
Yun Sheng and the others entered the Yue Wu Mountain Range.
***
After a few hours, a fast horse ran over in the horse a guard of Qicheng. He panted heavily and said: " Close the Yue Wu Mountain Range . No one is allowed to enter. Last night, a vicious murder occurred on the outskirts of Qicheng. The 45th C – Class Wanted Demon Beast fled into the Yue Wu Mountains."
"Wanted Demon Beast?"
Upon hearing the identity of the demon beast, the faces of the several guards changed suddenly.
They immediately closed the entrance to Yue Wu Mountain Range and set up a sign outside.
After the notice board was set, the city guards also posted the news of the C – Class Wanted Demon Beast.
The hunters and magicians near the Yue Wu Mountain Range were informed of the news.
But those that had already entered the Yue Wu Mountains knew nothing of it. The identity of a C-Class Wanted Demon Beast was too scary, and the guards of Qicheng didn't dare enter the Yue Wu Mountains.
Wanted Demon Beast was a special title for the fierce beasts on Wu Ji Continent.
Demon beasts were divided into benign and evil, and general demon beasts, such as the ones that inhabit Yue Wu Mountains would most of the time not take the initiative to leave the mountains, and wouldn't attack humans before getting frightened.
But Wanted Demon Beasts were different. Most of them were powerful and violent, and they were murderous. They broke into towns and villages, and actively attack domestic animals and even residents.
So, there was a special demon beast wanted list on Wu Ji Continent, which listed various demon beasts who fled after committing crimes in several places.
They were divided into five ranks, according to the gravity of their crimes and their strength, from S-rank to D-rank.
The demon beasts that appear on that list were most of the time very proficient in magic. And the demon beast rated as C-Class were equivalent to Martial Master and Magisters.
But there were naturally rewards for killing Wanted beasts.
The original reward for the 45th C-Class demon beats were one hundred gold coins. And the passerby who got killed by it last night, just so happened to be a wealthy man in Qicheng and his family offered an additional 50 gold coins.
Now the reward for killing the C-Class demon beast was a whopping 150 gold coins.
With these conditions there naturally had to be a brave man to take up the challenge. And so, although the officials strictly forbade someone from entering Yue Wu Mountains, later that day, some hunters sneaked into Yue Wu Mountains in search of the whereabouts of the C-Class demon beast.
***
At that time, the Yun father and daughter pair, along with Huang Ling and her party, were already in the middle of Yue Wu Mountains.
The sky was dark, and Huang Ling had walked for an entire day, she was a magician, she was so weak that she had been whining a lot about how she wanted to rest.
After discussing with Yun Canghai, Martial Master Chi decided to camp beside a small river and take rest for the night.
When assigning tents, the difference between men and women was taken account of. Martial Master Chi let Yun Sheng and Huang Ling sleep together in a tent.
"What? You want me to sleep in a tent with this dirty girl?" Huang Ling immediately burst into tears.
"Who did you call a dirty girl? Apologize to Sheng'er!" Yun Canghai had heard what she said, and with a gloomy face, gave Huang Ling a fierce look. Huang was frightened and shivered. She looked at the female magician.
The female magician surnamed Mu tried to defuse the situation, but Yun Canghai refused to give in.
He said syllable by syllable, "A.Po.Lo.Gize"
The female magician with the surname Mu was also a little unhappy. She had a distinguished status. And this man was neither magician nor warrior. How dared he threaten her and the young lady?
With a hum, she pulled out her magic wand, and the gentle blue magical light of the water element wafted around it.
