Chapter 1152: Vast Cold


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Sun Yucheng, Elder Su, Elder Ren, and the four young girls were dumbstruck as they watched in shock while Chu Li threw out ten blades, killing each Mysterious Pavilion protector with one blade.


Then, Chu Li glided back to Sun Yucheng’s side and gave the prince a fist salute before he quietly moved to stand behind him.


The four young girls were still standing in their sword array but had stopped moving. Instead, they stared at Chu Li in astonishment.


Sun Yucheng recovered from his surprise and grinned while he clapped. “Well done!”


Elder Su and Elder Ren both felt amazed but somewhat worried.


Zhao Dahe’s martial arts skills were indeed incredible, but the four of them had become enemies with Mysterious Pavilion because of what he had just done. After this, Mysterious Pavilion would certainly try to hunt them down to seek revenge.


If the four of them had to go up against Mysterious Pavilion as a whole, they probably would not be able to get away alive no matter how powerful Zhao Dahe was. After all, Mysterious Pavilion had the home-ground advantage over them.


“Thank you, Young Master!” the so-called Senior Sister Liu said and gave a fist salute after she slid her sword back into its scabbard.


A faint smile appeared on Chu Li’s unattractive face as he returned the fist salute and said nothing more.


He was not interested in these girls and did not want to steal Sun Yucheng’s spotlight.


Sun Yucheng studied these four young girls closely.


This Senior Sister Liu had an oval face and pale, delicate skin. She looked lovely and charming with her almond-shaped eyes, rosy cheeks, and small yet full lips. At the same time, there was a heroic air about her.


The other three young girls were all beautiful and charming as well. The first looked innocent and sweet, the second one looked dainty and playful, and the third looked cute and captivating. Sun Yucheng could not help but sigh in admiration as he feasted his eyes on these rare beauties.


The Li Dynasty’s Emperor was famous for being a philanderer. However, he did not have many concubines in the palace since he mostly engaged in sexual relations with women outside the palace. Therefore, Sun Yucheng had never actually seen that many beautiful women.


Despite being a philanderer himself, the Li Dynasty’s Emperor did not allow any of his children to be like him and demanded them to be loyal to their respective spouses instead. Thus, the princes each had only one wife as they were not allowed to marry more than one woman and have concubines.


All princes who had the slightest desire to be made the successor to the throne would never go against the Emperor’s will. So, they would have to pretend to be loyal to their wives in order to earn the Emperor’s favor.


Sun Yucheng gave a fist salute as he smiled at the young girls. “I’m Sun Yucheng. Greetings, ladies. Are any of you severely injured?”


“Young Master Sun, you’re too kind. Thank you for helping us out. We’ve only suffered some minor injuries,” Senior Sister Liu replied with a fist salute before she looked at Chu Li. “This young master is…?”


“Oh, he’s my protector. His surname is Zhao,” Sun Yucheng said with a pleasant smile.


Although Zhao Dahe had been very impressive indeed, he was Sun Yucheng’s protector after all. Sun Yucheng stood with pride and felt as though his body was emitting a ray of light so bright that no one dared to look at him directly.


The four young girls looked at Chu Li in wonder and curiously examined him from head to toe.


“Young Master Sun’s protector is very impressive indeed!” Senior Sister Liu said with a friendly smile.


Sun Yucheng returned her smile as he replied, “He’s a protector from home. May I know where the four of you are headed?”


Chu Li remained silent, showing no interest in joining the conversation.


Senior Sister Liu said, “I’m Liu Di. We’re disciples of Vast Cold Palace, and we’re heading back to our faction.”


“So you’re all disciples of Vast Cold Palace!” Sun Yucheng nodded in realization as he finally understood why these girls looked so attractive. It was because they were all from Vast Cold Palace!


Sun Yucheng had tried to understand more about the overall situation of the Zheng Dynasty’s martial arts world before coming to the Zheng Dynasty.


There were also four major sects in the Zheng Dynasty’s martial arts world, but Vast Cold Palace was not one of them. Vast Cold Palace was merely a first-class faction but was extremely famous because their disciples were all women with extraordinarily good looks.


These gorgeous women would remain unmarried for the rest of their lives. More importantly, Vast Cold Palace’s heart technique had the effect of retaining their youthful looks. Although it could not help them stay young forever, they would appear to be in their forties at most.


It was because of these wonderful effects that Vast Cold Palace had become so famous in the Zheng Dynasty.


While all women were interested in cultivating Vast Cold Palace’s heart technique, there was, unfortunately, a disadvantage to it. Those who cultivated this heart technique had to maintain their virginity because their cultivation would be damaged the moment they lose their virginity. With that, they would not be able to retain their youthful looks.


Thus, all ordinary women had complicated feelings toward Vast Cold Palace’s heart technique.


It was a pity that Vast Cold Palace had only over a hundred disciples, so their capabilities could not be considered very strong.


Upon noticing the look of Sun Yucheng’s face, Elder Su knew that he had been captivated by these four young girls. Therefore, Elder Su had no choice but to lower his voice and say, “Young Master, we should get going now. We still have some business to attend to.”


“Oh, yes, you’re right. We still have some business to attend to.” Sun Yucheng recovered from his daze and laughed as he said, “Alright then, Miss Liu. We shall take our leave first!”


“Young Master, would you not like to visit Vast Cold Palace?” Liu Di smiled. “We ought to repay your kindness for saving our lives. You can join us as a guest and stay at Vast Cold Palace for a while.”


“Well…” Sun Yucheng hesitated.


He yearned to visit Vast Cold Palace as this was indeed a rare opportunity since Vast Cold Palace had never entertained male guests. He would be very fortunate and greatly honored to be able to visit Vast Cold Palace, and take a look at all the beautiful girls and women there.


“Young Master!” Elder Ren muttered.


“Oh, alright. We really do have some important matters to attend to, so we can’t go with you,” Sun Yucheng replied regretfully. “Miss Liu, we’ll try to visit Vast Cold Palace some other time!”


“Sure, Vast Cold Palace welcomes you at any time, Young Master,” Liu Di said with a sweet smile.


“Great,” Sun Yucheng replied while he looked frustrated and disappointed.


“Puff! Puff! Puff!” The other three girls suddenly spat out mouthfuls of blood as weary expressions appeared on their faces. Their bodies were trembling, and they could barely stand. It was only because the girls were using their swords to support themselves that they had managed to stop themselves from collapsing to the ground.


Sun Yucheng was startled and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”


Liu Di turned her head and glanced at the three young girls before she shook her head. She replied, “It’s nothing. This happened because we’ve used our secret skill.”


“In that case, the three of you should hurry up and recuperate,” Sun Yucheng said.


Liu Di smiled and replied, “We’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”


“But…” Sun Yucheng asked worriedly, “Given your current condition, how will you manage if Mysterious Pavilion gets to you again?”


“They won’t,” Liu Di replied.


Sun Yucheng looked grim as he said, “Based on what I’ve heard, Mysterious Pavilion has many magical skills and quite a few people with extraordinary abilities. Many of them are good at tracking down their targets, so you might not be able to escape from them… How about this? We’ll escort you back to Vast Cold Palace!”


“Young Master!” Elder Su exclaimed at once.


Elder Ren stared at Sun Yucheng with disapproval too.


Chu Li maintained an indifferent and detached attitude toward the situation. He said nothing as he would rather go along with Sun Yucheng’s proposition since he would be able to kill more Mysterious Pavilion protectors that way.


Sun Yucheng paid no attention to the two elders as he found them cold-hearted. He felt that they did not have compassion for the fairer sex. Instead, he turned to Chu Li. “Brother Zhao, what do you think?”


Chu Li replied, “Might as well.”


Sun Yucheng smiled with satisfaction. “Great. Indeed, Brother Zhao is more kind-hearted. I’ve made my decision!”


He turned around and glared at the two elders.


Elder Su and Elder Ren looked at him helplessly while Elder Su said, “Young Master, if we continue to get into trouble with Mysterious Pavilion, we’ll make a mess of what we’ve been trying to accomplish.”


Since all ten men had been killed this time, no one from Mysterious Pavilion would be able to track them down even if anyone found out about this. However, if they proceeded to accompany these four girls, Mysterious Pavilion would certainly pursue them aggressively. After all, Mysterious Pavilion was no pushover and would surely be determined to kill them, so they would have to give up on searching for the Heavenly King Palm if that happened.


Chu Li said, “If they send more people after us, we can just kill them all!”


“Ah…” Elder Su and Elder Ren widened their eyes and opened their mouths to protest but ended up sighing helplessly instead.


COMMENT

As the two elders recalled how Chu Li had managed to kill those ten Mysterious Pavilion protectors earlier, they figured that he would be able to kill more of such protectors no matter how many people Mysterious Pavilion decided to dispatch. True enough, Chu Li could rightly say these words with confidence seeing that he had effortlessly killed those Grandmasters as if he had been slaughtering chickens.


“Haha, indeed, indeed!” Sun Yucheng was overjoyed. “It’s decided then. Miss Liu, we’ll escort you ladies back to Vast Cold Palace!”


“Thank you very much, Young Master!” Liu Di did not turn down his offer.


After all, she knew very well that it would be remarkably hard for the four of them to safely make their way back to Vast Cold Palace without these men escorting them. While those Mysterious Pavilion protectors had not been able to withstand even a blow from this Protector Zhao, those ten men were martial arts masters whom Liu Di and her junior sisters could never be capable of killing.
