Chapter 162: A shocking scene!
Translator: 549690339
Raging tide city, in Chou Yao âerâs Castle!
Days without battle were always so boring.
He didnât kill, didnât fight, and didnât save. It was as if he had lost his goal.
Many people thought that since she, Chou Yao âer, had made so many contributions and had so many ships and Pirates under her command, she must be very ambitious and wanted to compete with Chou Xiao for the position of raging tide city Lord.
Even Chou Xiao himself thought so.
However, that was not the case at all.
She had no interest in the raging tide city Lord.
All the government affairs and management gave her a headache.
She didnât even like to read any books or words.
The only thing she was interested in was fighting!
Where was the enemy?
Who needs me to save?
Other than these two matters, no one is to bother me.
Many people found it strange. Mo Luosha and Chou Yao âer were fighting and killing every day. The rest of the time, she was either in a daze or listening to stories. They didnât see her cultivating at all.
If she didnât cultivate diligently, how could her martial arts be so strong to such a heaven-defying extent?
Did she secretly cultivate when no one was around?
Actually, it wasnât like that.
You can see that sheâs very relaxed on the surface and doesnât cultivate much.
In fact, she was more relaxed and didnât cultivate.
It couldnât be helped. For some reason, he didnât cultivate much. He just often fought and killed, and his martial arts cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
Even she herself was surprised by her rapid progress in martial arts. I didnât do anything.
As for how high her martial arts were?
Sorry, she didnât even know.
However, those who had fought with her were basically all dead.
Tang Yan defeated others by relying on the meteoric sword technique, which directly sent people flying and retreating. Once this sword technique was broken, he seemed to be at his witâs end.
As for Chou Yao âer, she basically did not have any techniques when she fought.
He relied on his heaven-defying strength and true Qi.
The two hundred-pound ghost head blades were waved out like a Gale of ghostly shadows. What other moves were there to use?
There was simply no one who could match him.
All of them were killed in seconds, without an intact corpse!
Therefore, there were many people who looked for Tang Yan to fight because at most, they would be sent flying and lose face.
However, no one had ever challenged Qiu Yao âer to a martial arts competition, because she had killed people the moment she attacked.
When she wasnât fighting, she didnât cultivate, didnât like to eat, didnât like beautiful women, didnât like beautiful men, didnât like gold, silver, or jewelry, and didnât like the four Arts even more.
The only entertainment was to listen to stories.
Because it was interesting!
It would be best if the story was not too complicated. She did not like to use her brain.
Of course, she wasnât stupid at all. On the contrary, she was very smart, but she didnât like to use it.
Listening to stories was really all she had to do in her spare time.
The hobby of listening to stories came from the memories of childhood, about four or five years old?
She had lost all her memories of her childhood. The only thing she remembered was that someone was telling her a story.
And that voice was the warmest, strongest, and most secure voice in the world.
After she grew up and became more sensible, she had always wanted to find the voice in her memory, but she had never found it.
In the end, he became addicted to listening to stories.
It was a pity that there were too few good stories.
Most of the stories were about love, politics, and conspiracies. They were boring.
Her favorite story was about fighting and killing.
I wonât get tired of hearing it a hundred times.
However, there were too few good stories like this. Even if she lowered her expectations and ignored many poisonous points, these stories were getting more and more uninteresting.
A few days ago, someone had even told her something about âendless wind and moon.â She heard that it was written by a rich manâs live-in son-in-law.
What kind of rubbish is this?
And she wrote it so shamelessly that she sent the woman to clean the toilet on the spot.
It was just that the author wasnât around. Otherwise, Chou Yao âer would have directly slapped him. He was a man anyway, so it didnât matter if he died.
âMaster, your nose is bleeding again.â The nearby maid, Lu Luan, cried out in shock.
Chou Yao âer felt her eyes swelling and her head spinning. She could not help but close her eyes and wipe the blood off her nose with her finger.
All the blood instantly turned into a bloody mist, and not a single mark was left on the finger.
This scene was truly incomparably breathtaking!
To other people, constant bleeding was a very terrifying thing.
However, Qiu Yao âer did not take it to heart.
What joy is there in life, what fear is there in death?
âWhoâs going to tell the story today?â
âThere are four of them,â his personal maidservant, Luan, replied.
Telling stories was a great job, and it was also the fastest way to advance in the castle.
But it was a pity that Chou Yao âer got sick of it too easily. She would get sick of almost the same story after four to five days, and then she would send them away.
The competition in this industry was very intense, and the elimination rate was too high and too fast.
Basically, Chou Yao âer had not listened to a single personâs story for more than ten days!
There were fewer and fewer good stories, what a waste of stories!
âLet them come up!â
Soon, four beautiful storytellers came in.
Finally, Xu Qianqian saw Chou Yao âer again, and her heart jumped again.
This She-Devil lazily leaned back on the chair. This explosive figure really made all the women look flat and ordinary.
Even if Xu Qianqian was a woman, she couldnât help but feel excited when she saw Chou Yao âerâs figure and face.
She suddenly realized that not only did all The Women in the Castle worship Chou Yao âer, but they also had a Strange love for her.
Chou Yao âer didnât like women, but women from the inner sanctum might like her.
The female devil didnât like to talk. Her personal maid, green damask, took a step forward and looked down at the four beauties.
This green damaskâs attitude was high and mighty, ordering around arrogantly. Xu Qianqian was very beautiful, but in her eyes, she was like air.
She had no choice, she was the female Devilâs personal maid, her status was the highest.
Furthermore, she was the first girl that Qiu Yao âer had rescued, and had been by her side for 13 years. When she was rescued by Qiu Yaoâ er, she was only eight years old. Her parents had died on the spot, and she was the closest person to Qiu Yao âer, even if Qiu Yaoâ er had never shown any signs of closeness to her.
All the beautiful women were envious of her.
Xu Qianqian looked at Qiu Yao âer, but she did not get any response.
If she did not guess wrongly, Chou Yao âer had already forgotten about her existence.
Suddenly, Xu Qianqian felt very sad.
However, it was also because of this glance that green damask glared at her fiercely.
You actually dare to look at master? Who Do You Think You Are? do you want to die? Youâre so alluring, I can tell youâre not a decent woman with one look.
Xu Qianqian thought to herself, lĂŒ-Tsang, donât let me find an opportunity, or Iâll kill you and replace you.
Lu Xiao said coldly, â each of you will tell a story. First, tell the name of the story. Then, make a brief introduction. It canât be more than a hundred words. Whoeverâs story topic is the most attractive can stay. Out of four people, only one can stay.â
It sounded like reading a novel. First, he had to look at the title, then the introduction.
âThe story Iâm going to tell is calledâ the story of the bandit Slayer.âItâs about a female hero whose parents died when she was young. She was saved by a martial arts master. When she grew up, she became a top master and killed her enemies to avenge her parents.â
This was a typical subject matter of flattery, written on the spot.
Chou Yao âer had heard at least a hundred similar stories.
The second beauty said, â the story Iâm going to tell is â the story of children and heroes. itâs about a woman who was trapped in the midst of bandits since she was young. However, she emerged from the mud unscathed. She saved countless people and wiped out all the evil in the world. In the end, she became an indomitable female hero.
Qiu Yao âer had heard the same story of flattery at least 50 times.
The third beauty said, â the story Iâm going to tell is âthe female scholar.â Itâs about a family with a useless son and only a daughter who has a high talent in martial arts. She disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination and became the martial arts scholar. In the end, she made a great achievement and was conferred the title of Marquis and general.
Instantly, Chou Yao âerâs eyes lit up. This story was quite interesting.
When green damask saw the look in its masterâs eyes, it immediately understood that the third beauty had been decided.
Xu Qianqian was immediately anxious.
He didnât expect the competition for a story-telling job to be so fierce.
Shen Langâs story was extremely well-written, but the title of the book was average.
Journey to the West was a good name, but to Chou Yao âer, the name had to be explosive and eye-catching.
âThe story Iâm going to tell is âBuddha must be destroyedâ!â Xu Qianqian said.
Instantly, Chou Yao âer opened her eyes. What a domineering name.
Xu Qianqian continued, â the Heavenly Father and the mother gave birth to a stone embryo. Countless years later, it burst out into a stone monkey. When he grew up, he learned the seventy-two transformations. With one somersault, he could move 108000 li, destroy the sky, the earth, and the air. He could kill gods, destroy Buddhas, and hit the Jade Emperor.
Instantly, the female devil, Chou Yao âer, sat up straight.
It was definitely a good story!
It was too novel and too domineering!
They had never heard of this subject before.
Green damask felt that something was wrong and immediately said, â the third one can stay. The rest of you can leave.
He was trying to use his power to suppress Xu Qianqian.
the last one, â Qiu Yao âer said. I want to hear theâ Buddha must be destroyedâ.
Thus, the other three beauties left unwillingly.
Really, he had prepared for a long time and racked his brains just for todayâs performance.
Who knew that he would be defeated by this b * tch?
âHowever, cheap Xu, donât be happy for too long. Master likes the new and loathes the old. Your Story of the Stone monkey is only a bit fresh, and she wonât want to hear it anymore in four or five days.
When Chou Yao âer was listening to a story, she did not like to be disturbed by anyone.
Moreover, she was listening very seriously.
They even had people burn incense just to make the story more interesting.
......
Xu Wanwan officially started her lecture.
Previously, she had deliberately exaggerated the title of the book and the introduction of the content, but now she was not in a hurry and spoke slowly.
The poem said,âthe chaos has not separated the heaven and earth, and no one can see it.â Ever since Pangu broke through the primordial, he created the clear and turbid from here.
Encouraging the masses, inventing that all things are good. If you want to know the creation and origin technique, you must read the legend of Shi âe of the West.
One Yuan was 129600 years old. It divided Yi Yuan into 12 associations, which were the 12 branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, you, Xu and hai. He should be 1800 years old every day.
This was the beginning of journey to the West, the background introduction.
It was extremely majestic and magnificent.
It was like the coffin pulled by Nine Dragons in Zhe Tian.
However, this passage was a little obscure and even a little boring.
As Xu Qianqian spoke, she looked at Chou Yao âer with a worried expression.
She was afraid that Qiu Yao âer was uncultured and wouldnât understand.
However, she was thinking too much. Chou Yao âer was listening very seriously, and her pupils were slightly widened. It was obvious that she had already constructed the illusory and majestic image of the universe in her mind.
Chou Yao âer didnât like to read, but she was still very good at writing. Some people were geniuses who didnât learn anything.
Xu Wanwan saw that her sharp and charming eyes were like stars.
She had never seen such beautiful eyes before. They were domineering and deep, but they also had the beauty of a woman.
Just this pair of eyes alone could make people sink in.
However, his eyes seemed to be strangely bloodshot, which really made oneâs heart ache.
âContinue.â Chou Yao âer said.
âOh, yes!â
Hence, Xu Qianqian continued.
Chou Yao âerâs eyes grew wider and wider as she listened more and more seriously, as though she was not willing to miss a single word.
When Xu Wanwan was halfway through her sentence, Chou Yao âer even poured her a cup of tea to soothe her throat.
This was unprecedented.
Xu Qianqian was flattered and deliberately slowed down her speech.
Of course, it wasnât to let Chou Yao âer hear him clearly. It was to drag out the time.
She only had a total of 50000 words in her manuscript. If she updated it too quickly, it would probably be gone in two or three days. Wouldnât that mean she had stopped updating?
Therefore, the first chapter of seven to eight thousand words took a full four hours.
Chou Yao âer was simply mesmerized as she listened, her heart filled with yearning.
In fact, the first chapter only talked about Sun Wukong learning from patriarch Bodhi. He had not even started learning the 72 changes and the somersault cloud. It was more of an introduction to the world.
But it was already exciting enough, especially for Chou Yao âer.
This unprecedented background story was too interesting.
This main character was actually the stone monkey of the Heavenly Father and mother Earth. This was even more interesting.
This story was simply too good, too stunning.
The most wonderful thing about it was that it created a magical and complete new world.
This was the world that Chou Yao âer fantasized about the most.
It was so mysterious, magical, Grand, and majestic.
he even dreamed of going to such a world.
This was truly a bold and imaginative move.
Compared to this story, all the other stories she had heard before were extremely vulgar and tasteless.
A good story was like fine wine, making people tipsy.
And now, Chou Yao âer was already slightly tipsy.
It was simply too wonderful.
The words were beautiful, but the world in the story was even more beautiful.
After Xu Qianqian finished her first chapter, Chou Yao âer took the initiative and said, â âThatâs all for today.â
âIs it because Iâm not good enough?â Xu Qianqian was worried.
âNo, itâs because itâs too good,â Chou Yao âer replied.
It was because the story was too good, and the world in the story was too good, that Chou Yao âer needed to reminisce about it.
She needed to completely imagine the wonderful world in the first chapter of the story in her mind.
He couldnât miss a single detail.
Many people thought that Chou Yao âer simply liked to listen to stories and enjoy the excitement of the plot.
However, what she desired the most was a whole new world.
Because of this and that, she could only stay in raging tide city, and could only see the unchanging Castle and sea.
However, in the depths of her heart, she was filled with an endless yearning for the strange new world.
âHow many times does this story have to go around?â Chou Yao âer asked.
â100 times!â Xu Qianqian said.
Chou Yao âer said, â then you can tell me twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Even if I go out to fight, you stay by my side and tell me stories.â
âYes!â Xu Qianqian was overjoyed.
He had finally achieved his goal, to be able to stay by the side of this demoness.
The goal that he failed to achieve by sacrificing all his dignity was achieved by Shen lang with just a few thousand words.
It was really infuriating to compare people!
Shen lang, youâre really amazing.
After Xu Qianqian left, Chou Yao âer opened the window and looked at the sea in the distance.
The unchanging days and unchanging scenery were too boring.
How she yearned for a new and unfamiliar world.
But she couldnât leave.
It wasnât just the few hundred poor women in the castle.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons. These women were all very beautiful, and if it wasnât for her protection, they would have long been reduced to playthings, living a life worse than death.
In raging tide city, anything could be bought and sold, especially beautiful women.
And the reason why she couldnât leave the most was ...
Because she had to stay here and wait for someone.
She didnât know when this person would come, let alone who this person was.
............
In the next few days, Shen lang and Jin mucong continued to write like crazy.
Fat otaku, this pervert, actually wrote another 100000 words in the next five days.
Jin mucong read the 200-page manuscript twice and then reluctantly handed it to the undercover agent, who then passed it to Xu Wanwan.
It was getting closer and closer to the ten-day deadline set by the heavenly Dao conference.
Shen lang could not help but feel anxious.
Things were often like this. The more you were worried that something would happen, the more likely it would happen.
But the truth was not like that.
When something was full of interests, there would be very few changes.
The deadline for the payment of the gold coins was getting closer and closer. Naturally, it was also getting closer and closer to the deadline for the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to return the money.
The worldâs public opinion was naturally in full swing.
In the Jin family, Shen Langâs name was so popular that it was about to explode.
And it wasnât a good reputation.
The yin Yuan Association and the new political party used almost all the power of public opinion to push for an attack on the reputation of the Jin family and Shen lang.
The main topic of all the discussions was still that it was only right to pay back oneâs debt. If he didnât return it, he would lose his morals.
Moreover, the public had already started to crazily say that the Jin familyâs financial resources had long dried up. Furthermore, Shen lang still had to maintain an extremely extravagant life. Therefore, he could not pay the money back at all.
Therefore, when Yin Yuan Association took back watch Cliff Island, the people of the world should not be surprised.
They should not have any sympathy for the Jin family either, as they were the ones who brought this upon themselves.
when the palace of the earl of xuanwu collapsed, no one was to be shocked or to sympathize with it, as it was only natural.
......
There were no changes or accidents.
Some of the five heavenly Dao Guild elders might be greedy, some might be despicable, but every single one of them was absolutely astute and wise.
Huang Tong obtained the approval of the entire Elder Council without much effort.
When he took out the mirrors, the five elders âeyes immediately lit up.
Then, his body began to tremble.
In fact, he was even more excited than Huang Tong.
âWhatâs the cost of this mirror?â one of the elders asked.
âOne silver coin,â Huang Tong said.
Immediately, the five patriarchs were completely stunned, and they fell into excitement and ecstasy.
âThe opportunity that our heavenly Dao Association has only encountered once in a thousand years has finally arrived.â
âThe chance for our heavenly Dao Association to defeat the yin Yuan Association has finally come.â
the opportunity for the heavenly Dao Association to conquer the world has finally come again.
What did the heavenly Dao conference rely on to conquer the world last time?
He spread the spices from the Western world to the eastern world, and he spread silk and porcelain to the Western world.
This established their dominance in the business world.
But later on, more and more people were in the business of silk, porcelain, and spices.
Whether it was the heavenly Dao Association or the yin Yuan Association, they had lost their monopoly.
Hence, they began to transform from traders to financial forces.
In other words, he had started to play with money.
Invest in industries, invest in power, invest in Wars, invest in countries.
However, the gamble 20 years ago had caused the heavenly Dao Association to lose almost everything.
Emperor Jiang Li was defeated, and the Empire of Great Yan won all the battles, unifying the entire Eastern world. The fire Emperor was invincible, and all the countries in the world had to bow down to him.
This wasnât just a military war, it was also a financial war.
The hidden origins sect successfully entered the market and won, becoming the business Overlord of the eastern world.
The heavenly Dao would fall from its peak.
If it wasnât for the fact that it needed to balance out the yin Yuan Association, it would have already fallen to the dust.
Now, they finally had a chance that was hard to come by in a hundred years.
The opportunity to monopolize the market had come again.
Previously, it was porcelain, silk, and spices. This time, it was a mirror.
All of these items had a common feature. They could be luxury goods or necessities.
This business could last for decades or even centuries.
This wasnât about making money at all, but rather, regaining strategic initiative.
âThe other party is willing to give us the entire process of making the mirror. The asking price is one million gold coins,â Huang Tong said.
âIâll give you, no matter how much you give!â
the other party asked for the gold coins to be paid within ten days, â Huang Tong said. there are seven days left.
here, â said a great elder of the heavenly Dao Association. weâll raise the gold coins directly locally.
the glass needed for the mirror must be purchased from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, â Huang Tong said. the price of each glass can not exceed five percent of the mirrorâs selling price.
This condition immediately made the elders frown.
It wasnât that they didnât want to spend the money, but they didnât want to be choked by others.
âWe have to talk about this, but weâll talk about it after we pay up. We need to show our sincerity.â The first elder said, â itâs best to give us a deadline for the glass technology. We can purchase their glass, but within three or five years, he has to pass the glass technology to us. We can buy it with money or give him a share. In short, we canât be stuck.
âYes!â Huang Tong replied.
âGo, go and raise the money. The sooner the better. Donât wait until the last deadline to send the money over. If we can arrive a day earlier, then itâs a day. If we can arrive two hours earlier, then itâs two hours.â
âYes!â
......
Just like this!
On the ninth day, a few hundred carriages entered the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. It was one day earlier than the agreed date.
They were transporting food!
Everyone could clearly see that they were all food.
Even by looking at the tracks, it was still food.
Someone even deliberately sent someone to crash into one of the carriages. Suddenly, the food was scattered all over the ground, and there was nothing hidden inside.
Why did the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu buy so much food?
The reason was simple!
Because they were about to lose hope Cliff Island and face destruction.
What did they need the most at this time?
Food!
First of all, he had to make sure he was full.
Hence, the purchase of these grains proved that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was going to be finished.
Furthermore, even if there were a few hundred carts of food, it would not cost much. At most, it would not even cost 3000 gold coins.
After the carriages that carried the grain entered the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, all the grain was unloaded.
There were no gold coins in the carriage.
But,
All the gold coins were hidden in the walls and bottom of the carriage.
It was impossible to tell from the outside. Even if you overturned the carriage and spilled all the food on the ground, you wouldnât find a single gold coin.
In order not to deepen the tracks, the one million gold coins, which weighed more than 70000 pounds, were scattered across the walls and bottoms of the more than 300 carriages.
Each carriage was only carrying 200 Jin of extra weight, which would not deepen the tracks.
Therefore, the heavenly Law Societyâs transportation of gold coins was both open and secretive.
Shen lang was in awe.
The heavenly Dao conference was truly powerful. It was indeed a super organization that had ruled over the trade of the eastern world for hundreds of years.
Under such a tight situation, he had actually managed to do it so flawlessly.
âA total of 700000 gold coins, plus 23000 Jin of gold.â
Huang Tong took out a piece of gold. It was about half a kilogram in weight, and it looked like a Golden Rock full of holes.
This was the legendary gold head, a natural high-purity gold mine.
âThree hundred thousand gold coins is equivalent to twenty-one thousand Jin of gold, but because these lumps of gold are impure, I will convert them to two hundred and thirty thousand taels. I will not let young master Shen suffer a loss!â
He looked at the mountain of gold coins and the countless gold lumps.
It was a real Golden mountain and sea!
It was too shocking, too stunning!
Shen lang was extremely shocked and heroic!
There were still four days left before the debt was due!
At that time, he would be slapping the yin Yuan Association in the face.
It was a face-smacking to the entire world!

[ note: Iâm going to sleep for a few hours after the first update. Iâll continue writing after I wake up. ] The plot is so good, everyone, donât stop supporting!
Thank you for the 10000 Yuan tip.
