Chapter 386: Useless Weakling
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Ever since the ancient times, talents had been looking for love. They were not looking for action on the bed, but they were looking for true love.
There were the hopeless romantics who searched high and low for love.
There were many talents who dreamed that they would find their ideal match to live together and grow old with.
Some of these dreams were bitter, some didn't end well, some ended single, whilst some ended well.
Even though most of them did not end up as perfect as they dreamt it up to be, the candidates still flocked to it like moths to a flame.
Actually...
It was not difficult to understand why.
In this world, studying was the way towards success. Many of them spent decades in their study rooms, watching as the world around them kept changing.
All they were working for was success. They wanted to be revered by their peers. They hoped that they would be able to lift that veil...
How many girls were there in this world that had both the looks and the brains?
That was the perfect girl.
Males needed to know how to appreciate the arts and be skilled in writing. As for ladies, they needed to have the looks and the talent.
Without which, how would they be able to communicate with each other?
As such, the females constantly tried to improve their musical skills and the males learned to appreciate the performance.
That was the beauty of romance.
Every talent in the world tried to be well educated enough to appreciate the arts. Anyone who did not show any appreciation of the arts would not dare talk about romance.
As for Yun Qingwu, she was the dream girl for many of the talents in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Yun Qingwu knew how to draw, perform, compose poetry, amongst other things. In fact, whatever they could do, she could do too, possibly even better.
As such...
How could the candidates not be attracted to such a lady?
”Why is Yun Qingwu in the Southern Regions?!”
The first thought through the minds of the candidates was, ”Has she been kidnapped?”. Of course, this thought did not last long.
They saw that the demons standing behind Yun Qingwu were stern, but they accorded her immense respect.
”Yun Qingwu is part of the demons?!”
This thought raced through the minds of the candidates. They gripped their fists.
Even though she was a demon, they still admired her.
This was romance.
At least, this was romance in the minds of the candidates.
Nangong Hao's reaction was different from that of the other candidates when he saw Yun Qingwu on the cliff.
”She didn't die?” Nangong Hao tightened the grip on his sword. He recalled the incident where he had destroyed the Sword Star Formation and stained his clothes.
But he had always had doubts...
Was the lady that he killed on the boat... really Yun Qingwu?
”The young master of the demons, Yun Qingwu!” Xing Qingsui's gaze was icy as he unsheathed his sword.
He pointed it straight at Yun Qingwu, his battle intent at its peak.
”What? Yun Qingwu is the... young master of the demons?!”
”Young Master Xing, are you sure about this?”
”How can this be?”
All of the candidates looked on in disbelief when they heard what Xing Qingsui said. It felt as though Xing Qingsui had just called a hawker the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. None of the candidates wanted to believe it was true.
However, what they wanted to believe was secondary...
It was a fact!
Just as the music continued to resonate through the air, two of the men behind Yun Qingwu began to lift up their cloaks.
Their red demonic eyes were clear for all to see.
Even though the redness was still some ways off from Bai Xing's, their cultivation level was obvious.
Rebirth, both of them!
There was one other person besides these two Rebirth State Demons. His demonic eye was green, but it sent chills down everyone's spine.
Pinnacle Supernatural State.
The three deputies of the 10 demonic domains. Two in the Rebirth State, and one at the pinnacle of the Supernatural State.
”There are two Rebirth State demons, one pinnacle Supernatural State one, and at least 50 Supernatural State elites. Furthermore... we are being surrounded on all sides by the Southern Region soldiers... how are we going to fight this battle?”
”Over my dead body!”
”No! I came here for the examination, not to die!”
”Shut up. Death is no big deal! I will willingly give up my life for this battle. Yun Qingwu, my only wish is to die by your hand!” One of the candidates scorned the cowardly candidate before he screamed to the lady at the top of the cliff, tears in his eyes.
Just as the candidate finished his sentence, a ray of purple light shot skywards from behind Yun Qingwu. Then, it crashed down.
”Sh*t!”
Blood spewed from the candidate's mouth.
He looked at his chest in disbelief. There was a sword embedded deep in his chest.
Blood flowed onto the blade and dripped onto the ground.
”You...” The candidate looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him. He stared at the red demonic eye in disbelief.
”Useless weakling!” The middle-aged man removed his sword and blood spewed from the wound. However, he did not even bother looking at that candidate. In fact, he didn't even give a reason for killing the candidate.
He merely called the candidate a weakling.
This candidate had spent decades studying for this examination. He was revered by his peers. Yet, the last thing he heard before his death...
Useless weakling.
