Chapter 18

The Twin Flying Fish-Goose
The female house was where the upper house female disciples lived, it was a strange place filled with mysterious secrets in the perspective of the male disciples. There was once a male disciple that entered the female house – he suffered from amnesia as a result of the endless beatings from the female disciples and he was then banished from the Swords Gate.
Things like this never stopped occurring, every year there would be a case or two. Although the male disciples were really fascinated towards the forbidden paradise that was the female house, the danger of trespassing was also widely known. Even if the male disciple had a partner in the female house, he would normally wait outside of the house for the female disciple to come out, he would not dare enter the house.

This heroic warrior, we bid you a fine farewell!
The male disciples gloated outside of the female house.
Zhong Yue was only an upper house disciple recently and a number of extremely dangerous events took place after his promotion, no one ever told him the rules about the female house that forbade the entry of male disciples. Hence, he directly walked into the female house without anyone stopping him.

The female house is really different than the male house, the scenery here is spectacular … so beautiful.

While walking in the female house he glanced around, the views of the female house were really idyllic. Flowers lined the roadside, the mountains were green and skies were blue and in between them the turquoise clear water, the lake, and the skies met on at the horizon while at the middle of the lake were small skiffs floating on the water. There were also cormorants diving in and out of the water and gaudy mandarin ducks frolicking around the lake, From afar he could hear the voice of a female, it sounded graceful, ethereal and seemed to linger around the place.
Zhong Yue stood still and looked, his sights fixated on a young lady who was singing while sitting on the bow of a small skiff. As the water waves rippled, a few young ladies dived out from the lake water and leaned onto the side of the skiff, carefully listening to the song sung by the graceful voice, with their elegant shoulders unveiled.

A strange man is peeping at you all!
suddenly the young lady on the skiff noticed Zhong Yue who was standing beside the lake, she yelled out in shock.
The ladies exclaimed in anxiousness and dived into the water, throwing up several waves of water into the air.
Zhong Yue rapidly walked away, the ladies dived all the way to a small isle in the middle of the lake.They wore their clothes, their eyes burned in anger and their gaze was filled with a palpable killing intent. They started searching for traces of Zhong Yue.
But Zhong Yue was fast, furthermore, the young ladies had taken the time to put on their clothes; eventually, they were left far behind Zhong Yue.

A man had just broken into the female house and he peeped at the sisters bathing!


Tell the other sisters, smoke him out immediately!


Pervert, pervert, he dares to break into the female house and even more so, had the gall to peep at the sisters bathing! Find him and break his third leg!

……
Zhong Yue casually walked into the female house, he thought in his heart,
Where does little sister Qingyan stay? The female house is so big, so many female disciples, it’s pretty hard to find her. Why don’t I ask someone about it….


Junior Martial Brother Zhong, how did you come here?

All of a sudden a familiar voice sounded in his ears, he followed the sound and saw Ting Lanyue carrying a flower basket like a village girl, there were various strains of flowers making for a colorful sight in the basket, she looked at him surprised.

You are really daring to even break into the female house!

Ting Lanyue quickly walked over to him, but her mind suddenly entertained an ambiguous thought and she said shyly,
You risked coming into the female house, are you looking for me? I haven’t changed my clothes….

Zhong Yue smiled and said,
Senior martial sister is getting the wrong idea. I have an old friend in the female house, her name is called Shui Qingyan. She is from the Shuitu Clan of the Wei River tribe, I promised to visit her before, but I wasn’t free until now. Does Senior martial sister know about Junior Martial Sister Shui?


So he isn’t here for me….

Ting Lanyue was suddenly feeling down, she then forced a smile and said,
So Junior martial brother is here for Junior Martial Sister Shui? Could she be your little lover?

She didn’t leave any time for Zhong Yue to retort her statement and she quickly grabbed his arm, pulling him into her courtyard,
You are too daring! If the others found out that you snuck into the female house then you are doomed. Hurry and hide in my courtyard! Oh, did anyone see you coming in?

Zhong Yue stammered as he answers the question,
I saw someone singing beside the lake and some ladies bathing in the lake, I was noticed and then I left….

Ting Lanyue rolled her eyes, she dumbfoundedly said,
You are in a deep trouble. Among those that bathed in the lake was the superior senior martial sister of the female house and granddaughter to the clan leader of the Youyu Clan. With the surname of Yu, the clan is ranked second among the top ten clans of the Great Wilderness. Senior Martial Sister Yu is unanimously acknowledged as the strongest disciple within the female house, nearly comparable to a Qi Practitioner. Plus, she isn’t exactly known for having a mild temper. Yet you dare to peep at her bathing, you are dead! Go hide in my room first, I will send you off when the storm has subsided.

Zhong Yue explained,
I didn’t intend to, I was just attracted to the graceful singing.


The singer isn’t an ordinary girl either, she comes from the Taolin Clan, third among the top ten clan rankings. Her name is Tao Daier and she is well known for her graceful voice. Her father is one of the law-executor elders of Swords Gate, you might have seen him before when you first joined the Swords Gate, he is the one that held a dark face all the time, he stares at everyone as if they owed him money.

Ting Lanyue was pounding her head, she placed her upper house disciple token on the door and said,
If anyone finds out, then you really are dead…I will look for Junior Martial Sister Shui, but the two of you can’t simply do anything inappropriate in my courtyard!

Zhong Yue was startled as he answered her,
What kind of inappropriate things can I do with Junior Martial Sister Shui?

Ting Lanyue stared at him fiercely, she was embarrassed as she shouted,
All in all, the two of you simply can’t do such things in my courtyard!

Not long after, Ting Lanyue returned but there were no signs of Junior Martial Sister Shui around her, she shook her head and said,
Your little lover just went to the top of the mountain a few days ago as the Qi Practitioner of the Shuitu Clan requested her presence. She entered closed-door seclusion training after she returned. I just went over to her courtyard and she said she didn’t want to meet with you. Did the two of you have a quarrel? Her face doesn’t look so good, I told her that you almost died in the Demon Ruins but she seemed quite apathetic and cold, not caring too much about you…

Zhong Yue was stunned, he thought to himself, Junior Martial Sister Shui is normally a gentle and soft maiden, I have never offended her in any way, why is she suddenly acting so indifferent?
Ting Lanyue continued on saying,
But her cultivation is really strong, I noticed that she is progressing rapidly after she returned from the mountain, better than I am already. I suppose she would be able to consummate her spirit and become a Qi Practitioner in the near future! Such a cultivation speed is really amazing, even faster than you! Now, it is hard to tell whether Senior Martial Sister Yu can maintain her position as the superior senior martial sister of the upper house disciples!

Zhong Yue was disappointed in his heart, he stood up and prepared to leave,
If that’s the case, then I shall leave now.

Ting Lanyue quickly stopped him,
No! If you leave now you will surely be caught by them, if they saw you coming out of my room, I would be embarrassed to death! Wait till nightfall, I will secretly bring you out!

Zhong Yue nodded and silence hung over the two of them.
Ting Lanyue felt a surge of discomfort, she covertly peeped at Zhong Yue, he didn’t really strike a figure of handsomeness, but rather, he had a chiseled face with thick brows and wide eyes, his physique was brawny and well-built, his height is also taller than that of ordinary youths. Her willowy body was considered tall among the females but even with her height, she seemed to be like a little bird that rested upon a man when she stood beside Zhong Yue.
If I look closely, Junior Martial Brother Zhong is actually better looking than the other conventionally handsome disciples. Her face blushed red as she coyly spoke to herself in her heart.
The night fell silent, but they waited for another hour before Ting Lanyue led Zhong Yue out of the courtyard to leave the female house. Her heart pounded in distress, Sneaking a little man out of the female house, if someone ever finds out, my reputation will be completely dashed, Junior Martial Brother Zhong will definitely be mistaken as my little lover….
She was uneasy, but fortunately, it was midnight; hence, they come across any female disciples on the way. Suddenly, while walking past a courtyard, Xin Huo who was in Zhong Yue’s inner mind said,
Brat Yue, I can sense the air of Tian Myriad Mother, she is very close!


Tian Myriad Mother?

His heart skipped a beat,
Is the Tian Myriad Mother in the upper house of Swords Gate?


The spirit of this devil god, she should be parasitizing one of the female disciples, she should be staying in this courtyard.

The little flame continued to flicker around,
Her presence is very faint, hiding in the body of a female, only occasionally leaking out a trickle of insignificant aura, that means that she hasn’t completely fused with the body yet. But if she did completely possess the body, then even I won’t be able to sense her presence anymore!

Zhong Yue gazed upon the courtyard, Ting Lanyue was surprised and she said somewhat smugly,
It’s true that the hearts of lovers are closely linked, Junior Martial Brother Zhong can instantly know that this is the courtyard of Junior Martial Sister Shui. Too bad … your little lover didn’t really want to see you. Let’s move, or else we will be spotted, then I would be the one taking the blame for your Junior Martial Sister Shui!

Her words were like a malediction that cast a stormy sea in his mind, he followed her back and tottered all the way out of the female house.
Junior Martial Sister Shui is possessed by Tian Myriad Mother….
His mind went completely blank, he couldn’t accept the fact that the little young damsel that always called him ‘Brother Yue’ was now possessed by Tian Myriad Mother!
After a while, he regained his composure and asked,
Xin Huo, if she is possessed by the spirit of the devil god, then will the Junior Martial Sister Shui now be the Junior Martial Sister Shui of before?


How strong is this spirit of demon god? The ordinary souls would be dead by a single pinch of it.

Xin Huo said lackadaisically,
Even a Qi Practitioner might not even be able to handle it. If the spirit of the devil god is parasitizing the host, the soul would surely be crushed with only the body continuing to live to serve the devil.

Ting Lanyue saw him deeply perturbed, she couldn’t help but to shake her head,
Junior Martial Brother, you are still young, if you surrender yourself to beauty then your cultivation will surely be impacted….


Hehehe, Junior Martial Sister Ting, so you actually know that an addiction to beauty will hinder cultivation speed!

All of a sudden a few young ladies walked out of the grove and blocked the path of the two. Their leader was the Superior Martial Sister Yu Feiyan, she scrutinized Zhong Yue from head to toe coldly sneered,
You harbored a man in your house, having fun until now, what do you have to say?


Shit
Ting Lanyue said in her heart and quickly she answered,
Senior Martial Sister Yu, you girls are misunderstanding….

Another young lady scoffed,
Misunderstanding? If it’s a misunderstanding then why did you hide this little man in your room until now? All this time you two had together, what kind of fun and nice things did the two of you get up to?Do you need me to say it out loud? The rules of the female house shall not be broken; otherwise, you would hide a man in your courtyard, I would hide another one in mine – the female house would soon be a filthy and foul place infested with the scent of men. Today, your little lover will have to leave one of his legs here. Now which leg out of the three … I will leave that to your discretion Junior Martial Sister Ting.

Ting Lanyue was anxious, she glanced at Zhong Yue and whispered,
Junior martial brother, leave at once!

Zilaaaa!
A series of shrill noises and one after another, the totem pillars were raised. The carvings glimmered against the dark night, the ladies had arranged an array of totem pillars to suppress the two of them!
Ting Lanyue couldn’t move an inch of her muscle, her anxiousness was burgeoning.
Suddenly, one of the totem pillars started to tremble – Hu – it flew up into mid-air and burst into pieces like fireworks.
Zhong Yue strode forward, his muscles convulsed and repelled the pressure from the totem pillars, one by one the pillars were flying off into the air – Peng peng peng – bursts into ashes!
Yu Feiyan gave a stern shout and leaped into the air; suddenly in mid-air, appeared a flying fish and goose, they were the actualization of her psyche, the fish and goose came pouncing down towards Zhong Yue!
In the dark, the two black silhouette clashed, all of a sudden, flashes of thunderous lightning swept away the surrounding darkness, a menacing Jiao Dragon environed in thunder came charging towards the flying fish and goose!

Mang!

Whistles of the dragon could be heard as Yu Feiyan fell to the ground, she raised her head; but the dreadful Jiao Dragon was no longer there while Zhong Yue had also disappeared into the shadows.
Ting Lanyue was shocked,
The strongest disciple of female house Senior Martial Sister Yu couldn’t even stop him down?
