CHAPTER 50 - LESSONS
Translated by Luxican
Fool!
This was what Mu Shuiyue thought. It was only to be expected, people who lived to long with their heads held high, lost their common sense of right or wrong.
This was the Yue Wu Mountains, not the Capital.
She looked at Martial Master Chi Wu, but he didn't step forward to stop that fool.
But Chi Wu had his own intentions, he wanted to make Huang Ling remember those two.
Mu Shuiyue had practiced water magic since she was a child. She thought Yun Canghai was a foolish man, like a calve that did not fear the tiger.
The magic scepter in her hands was made from an 80-year-old water whale bone, which made magic release fast and steady. The blue light flashed and the shape of a whale slowly condensed.
This conflict was all due to Huang Ling, but she didn't repent, instead she yelled: "Aunt Mu, teach him! Some things are just untouchable."
Yun Canghai didn't move, but suddenly, a roaring fire appeared, and all that water instantly began boiling. The water whale had completely vanished into steam, before the attack was even launched.
Mu Shuiyue paled.
Magician!
The opponent was also a magician, and his strength was at least one tier higher than her.
Water could generally overcome fire, it was instinct, but that fire didn't fear its natural predator at all. Such a domineering flame!
Yun Canghai hadn't even made a sound. And she hadn't seen him take out his magic scepter either, but her water whale was still destroyed.
Although Huang Ling was young, she could read faces. And after that water whale had vanished, Aunt Mu was frightened. So, she suddenly realized that, the beggar-looking father-daughter pair, wasn't that easy.
"I'm sorry... I won't say it again," Huang Ling bit her lip and reluctantly apologized to Yun Sheng.
"Father, so cool!" Yun Sheng flew over and hugged Yun Canghai with satisfaction, and gave the praise her father deserved.
But as she hugged Yun Canghai, Yun Sheng found his body cold, as if it had just been pulled out of cold water.
"Father!" Yun Sheng was worried.
Yun Canghai touched his daughter's head, took out a bottle of wine, and drank it, slowly his body-temperature rose.
After this skirmish, Yun Sheng, Huang Ling and Mu Shuiyue slept together in a tent.
The two girls looked at each other disagreeable.
In the nights of Yue Wu Mountains, some demon beasts would wander around, and after Chi Wu discussed with Yun Canghai, they decided to rotate for the patrols.
When they laid down to sleep, Huang Ling who thought that Yun Sheng was asleep, quietly said to Mu Shuiyue: "Aunt Mu, these two men really hate us, let's dump them and go alone."
At the outskirts of Yue Wu Mountains were not many demon beasts, but after entering the center, more and more third-level demon beasts appeared. And the purpose of Huang Ling's trip was to find demon beast Soulstones.
There was no shortage of demon beast mountains on the Wu Ji Continent, but for newcomers who had just become magicians, Yue Wu Mountain was the most suitable place to obtain their first Soulstone.
"Miss, don't worry if you're ever in danger, Lord Chi will surely protect you. And although Yun Sheng's father is powerful, I don't think his body is in good shape, so he can't use magic often," Mu Shuiyue had suffered a loss during the day. Afterwards she always kept an eye on Yun Canghai and found his condition not quite right.
After Yun Sheng heard that, a sour feeling rose in her heart.
***
Outside the tent, the bonfire had been extinguished.
Demon beasts were different from ordinary beasts. Although there were some demon beasts that feared open flames, fire attribute demon beasts were attracted to fire.
So, Yun Canghai and the others who stayed outside did not ignite one.
After a few hours, it was Yun Canghai's turn on look-out.
The nights in mountains were especially cold. And Yun Canghai's physique was colder than the average persons. He took out a wine jar, just about to pour a bit of wine into his mouth, when a hand snatched the jug.
"Brother Yun, I hope you won't mind me asking for a drink," Chi Wu, who was supposed to rest in a tent, sat down casually and threw a thick animal skin.
When he was younger he had been staying in the military camp, he would often have to stand outside to keep watch. So, he certainly knew that in such a cold night, a jug of wine and a warm animal hide were the most useful.
Seeing Yun Canghai didn't object, Chi Wu took a sip, "Say Brother Yun, do you know the genius magician of the Yun Family of the Great Zhou Empire. He was also surnamed Yun, but he suddenly disappeared."
In the dark, with a lot bang, a magic wand inlaid with five Soulstones pointed at Chi Wu. As long as he made one false movement, a deadly flame, able to immediately turn bone to ashes, would appear on the wand and burn out a big hole into his chest.
Chi Wu had been prepared, and without being frightened, took one more sip.
"Don't panic, I'm not malicious. Whether you're the real Yun Canghai doesn't matter to me. I'm just curious, the man who once made the four major nations tremble and helped the Great Zhou Empire rise again, has been reduced to this state, even using wine to maintain his magic power," Chi Wu sighed.
The beauty was late, the end of the hero, it was truly a pity.
Chi Wu and Yun Canghai were about the same age, but Yun Canghai had accomplished much greater things.
Because Yun Canghai's reputation was so great, although he had disappeared later on, Chi Wu still remembered him.
After learning of Yun Cnghai's true identity, Chi Wu was also very surprised. Why would he endure the humiliation of Miss Huang and walk with them?
But after the "match" between Yun Canghai and Mu Shuiyue, Yun Canghai kept on drinking, so, he found that Yun Canghai's body was very weak, like he had some kind of severe internal injury. His magic power couldn't be used for a long time. The more powerful the magic, the more serious the aftermath.
"You're in no position to ask questions, I also didn't ask why the little Princess of Dong Dynasty appeared here," Yun Canghai recaptured the wine in Chi Wu's hand.
Chi Wu shrugged, "If you don't want to say it, I'll ask you something different, it's about demon beast Soulstones."
***
Nothing happened throughout the night, and Yun Sheng got up early the next morning.
For magicians, the morning or the evening, were the best times for meditation.
And in the Yue Wu Mountains the magic elements were especially lush.
Yun Sheng chose a secluded place not far from the tent, sat down, and meditated.
After she had obtained the five-elemental Magic Soul, she had absorbed the magic elements everyday for half an hour. It swept away all her fatigue and made her whole person energetic.
By the time she returned from meditation, everyone else was already up.
After eating some simple and dried food, Chi Wu called Huang Ling and Yun Canghai called Yun Sheng.
"Miss, this subordinate has something to announce, now that we are in the center of Yue Wu Mountains. This subordinate thought that the young lady could enter the forest together with Yun Sheng, to hunt for her demon beast Soulstone," Chi Wu didn't forget that the lady had told him to do everything to hone the character of Huang Ling.
