Xian Wang Dotes On Wife Chapter 85

When Su Huai Feng sees that Yun Qian Yu is excited instead of worrying, he feels like he really cannot win over her .

Her sentence in particular strucks a chord within him: there is nothing one cannot do, only things one doesn’t want to do .

Su Huai Feng remains solemn as he replies her, “You will know once you see it .   I have also informed Mo Dai Kingdom’s Crown Prince Long Jin and Jiu Xiao Kingdom’s Prince Bei Tang Gu Qiu .  

“The more the partic.i.p.ants, the more exciting the game will be,” Yun Qian Yu is even more excited now .

Su Huai Feng looks at his Senior Uncle Gong, who is coincidentally a couple of years younger than him .   To see such pure and unadulterated love flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes as he looks at the princess is something that even celestials dared not think of .

And the princess, boldly living with him in his residence pretty much tells everyone what her take on their relations.h.i.+p is .

“Senior Uncle, why don’t you go and see it with her?”

Gong Sang Mo turns to Su Huai Feng .   Although his countenance is still warm, the gentleness in his eyes that was there when he looked at Yun Qian Yu is now gone .

The corner of Su Huai Feng’s lips twitches .   Turns out his Senior Uncle is still his Senior Uncle; he only treats one person differently .

Yun Qian Yu tugs Gong Sang Mo’s sleeves, “Come with us .   I will show you how I recruit your junior!”

“That confident?” asks Gong Sang Mo with a warm smile .

Yun Qian Yu nods .

“It will not simple if even Huai Feng think it’s hard,” reminds Gong Sang Mo .

“Don’t worry,” Yun Qian Yu blinks .   No matter how smart Su Huai Feng is, he will not exceed the experience of someone who has lived both in modern and ancient times .  

She gets up while pulling Gong Sang Mo up with her, “Let’s see what it is that Young Master Su think is impossible to be done . ”

Su Huai Feng smiles and makes way to let the two of them walk first .

Gong Sang Mo puts on the fur cloak on Yun Qian Yu before pulling up the hood to cover her head .

Ever since Yun Qian Yu mastered Zi Yu Xin Jing, she is no longer p.r.o.ne to feeling cold .   However, Gong Sang Mo still worries and she simply lets him do whatever it is he wants to do, to put his heart at peace .

Once outside, Su Huai Feng begins leading the way .

All the servants, from Feng Ran and Yun Nian to San Qiu and Yi Ri, and even the girls, follow them out of curiosity .

The two eagles hover above Gong Sang Mo and Yun Qian Yu, trailing after them .

Su Huai Feng leads them all past the training ground and into the slopes .   Around an incense stick time later, they reach the peak of the mountain .

This place is not as high as Jue Ming cliff .   There are no stone steps .   Instead, there are slopes leading downwards, enabling them to see the base of the mountain .

Because weather around the slopes are cold, it will be covered in snow all year long, even in summer when wild flowers fill the ground at the base of the mountain .

Many people are standing there, Long Jin and Bei Tang Gu Qiu amongst them .   They are busy discussing something with their people .

Yun Qian Yu has no idea what Su Huai Feng’s challenge is, but to see the rare frown on Bei Tang Gu Qiu’s face tells her that even he is taken off guard .

Long Jin immediately cups his fist when he sees Gong Sang Mo, “I trust Xian w.a.n.g has been well . ”

“This king is doing just fine .   This king heard that Crown Prince Jin hasn’t been doing well, though,” replies Gong Sang Mo mildly .

The expression on Long Jin’s face turns rigid .   When he remembers all the unpleasant things that have occurred ever since he returned to Mo Dai Kingdom, his face darkens, “They are all small things, not worthy to fret over . ”

“Oh,” the corner of Gong Sang Mo’s lips curls .

“Are you here to solve the challenge, Princess Hu Guo?” Long Jin turns his attention to Yun Qian Yu .

“I have come to join the fun . ”

Su Huai Feng raises an eyebrow .   She clearly wasn’t so modest a while ago; just look at the way she dragged his Senior Uncle here, and how she tried to blatantly recruit him .   She really changed her approach depending on the person she is dealing with .

Long Jin looks at Gong Sang Mo and Su Huai Feng, “Don’t tell me Princess Hu Guo already received some pointers ahead of us?”

He is hinting that Yun Qian Yu is benefiting from Gong Sang Mo’s acquaintance with Su Huai Feng .

“Turns out, in Crown Prince Jin’s eyes, the Celestial Mountain is like a little family sect,” Gong Sang Mo shot him a look full of disdain .

“This Crown Prince does not mean it that way,” Long Jin cannot afford to make an enemy out of the Celestial Mountain .

Su Huai Feng is not angered by Long Jin’s suspicion .   He calmly explains with a smile, “Don’t worry, Crown Prince Jin .   The sect has a rule, no one can use internal force to climb up or down the mountain, including guests .   And that rule also applies to the slope here .   Ever since Huai Feng entered the sect, Huai Feng has been wondering how one can climb down the slope without using inner power .   The snow is too thick that one simply cannot pa.s.s through .   Even if one force their way through, they will not be able to reach the base even if they take an entire day and night .   Besides, the snow will add up in the meantime, it will be dangerous .   One can’t even use their inner power to get themselves out of danger .   Huai Feng entered the sect when Huai Feng was only 10, and now, Huai Feng is already 24 years old .   This question has plagued Huai Feng for 14 years now .   Huai Feng hope to get an answer before Huai Feng leaves the mountain . ”

Long Jin does not know what to say .   He looks at Bei Tang Gu Qiu who seems to be deep in thoughts, before turning towards Yun Qian Yu, “This Crown Prince admit defeat .   This Crown Prince does not know how to solve that challenge .   Seems like it is up to only Bei Tang w.a.n.g and Princess Hu Guo now . ”

Bei Tang Gu Qiu looks at Long Jin who is trying to drive a wedge between everyone .   Then, he turns to Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo, “Does Xian w.a.n.g and Princess Hu Guo has a solution?”

“I am from here .   If I have an answer, I would have told Huai Feng long ago,” replies Gong Sang Mo .

Yun Qian Yu does not directly answer his question, and instead asks, “Do you have a solution, 6th w.a.n.gye?”

Bei Tang Gu Qiu shakes his head, “No . ”

Long Jin laughs, “Seems like the heavy responsibility will have to fall upon Princess Hu Guo . ”

Yun Qian Yu is starting to like Long Jin less and less .

She turns to Su Huai Feng, “Do you have any rules?”

Su Huai Feng turns rigid .   He did not expect Yun Qian Yu to continue asking questions .   Don’t tell him she has a solution already?

“There are two:  one, you cannot use inner power .   Two, you must use the same amount of time one would take if you climb down the mountain using the stone staircase . ”

“Those are the only rules?”

“Yes . ”

“That will be too easy .   I can climb down the slopes even faster than climbing down the staircase .   Perhaps, even faster than using inner power, even . ”

Long Jin sneers, “Princess Hu Guo must be joking . ”

Even Bei Tang Gu Qiu is looking at Yun Qian Yu incredulously .

Yun Qian Yu looks at Long Jin, “Crown Prince Jin is becoming more and more unlikeable . ”

Long Jin chokes in his breath .   He looks at Yun Qian Yu darkly, only to become the receiving end of Gong Sang Mo’s sharp glare .

He awkwardly looks away .

Yun Qian Yu ignores him and continues addressing Su Huai Feng, “I need to prepare some things .   Will tomorrow do?”

“Of course!”

Su Huai Feng does not mind staying a day longer .   He has lived here for 14 years, he finds it hard in his heart to leave .

“We will begin tomorrow, after breakfast .   After I bid Sheng Xue Tian Zun farewell,” says Yun Qian Yu, intending to leave right after the challenge .  

Su Huai Feng nods in agreement .  

She turns to him, “Get ready to return to Nan Lou with me . ”

Then, she leaves while holding hands with Gong Sang Mo .

Her pet.i.te body pretty much radiates confidence, causing everyone to look at her in a daze .

“How confident are you in her words, 6th w.a.n.gye?” asks Long Jin after Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo left .

“Completely confident,” replies Bei Tang Gu Qiu calmly .

Long Jin turns to him in surprise .   If even Bei Tang Gu Qiu believes she can do it, it means that she can .

Bei Tang Gu Qiu looks at the slopes below them silently before walking away .

Long Jin murmurs to his servant, “Go and check what Yun Qian Yu is planning to do . ”

The servant looks at him hesitantly, “Your Highness, this is the Celestial Mountain .   Everything we do is observed by other people .   Spying on her will be impossible . ”

Hearing that, Long Jin flings his sleeves angrily before walking away .

Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo does not directly return to Gong Sang Mo’s residence .   Instead, they stop by Sheng Xue Tian Zun’s residence first .

Yun Qian Yu is no longer cautious around Sheng Xue Tian Zun, unlike during their first meeting .   This time, she is even more friendly to him than Gong Sang Mo .

Both the old and the young ones chat so happily with each other .

The Three Celestials are curious as to what Yun Qian Yu plans to do tomorrow .   All of them gathered at Sheng Xue Tian Zun’s residence out of curiosity .   However, despite chatting for half a day, Yun Qian Yu did not even mention a word about the challenge tomorrow .

By the time Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo left, the three Celestials collectively sigh, “That girl sure is quick-witted .   She and Sang Mo are two peas in a pod . ”

“Aren’t you three going to at least bother to sugarcoat your words?” asks Sheng Xue Tian Zun before laughing .   Now, after so many years, he can finally see the young and precocious versions of his disciples again .

As for Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo, they are both on the way to his residence .  

“Aren’t you going to prepare for tomorrow, Yu Er?” asks Sang Mo .

“The things I need are all very simple . ”  Yun Qian Yu turns to San Qiu .   “San Qiu, you are more used to the mountain .   I need you to cut down a tree for me .   Cut it this thick,” she describes the thickness and length of the wood that she needs .

Although San Qiu cannot see how she can solve the challenge with that, he goes and does the bidding .   He no longer ask for Gong Sang Mo’s permission when it comes to Yun Qian Yu, because he knows it will always be a nod from him .

Even Gong Sang Mo is curious, but he does not ask questions .

As soon as they reach Gong Sang Mo’s residence, Yun Qian Yu ask the servant girls to make a new set of clothes for her .

All the girls, with the exception of Man Er who cannot wield needles as well as she could a sword, are conscripted into the new task .  

Yun Qian Yu draws the outfit that she wants .

Chen Xiang gasps, “This is something a hunter would wear . ”

Yun Qian Yu nods, “Pretty much .   The neater, the better . ”

The girls nod .   Once Gong Sang Mo’s people carry in all the sewing paraphernalia they need, they begin the work .

Yun Qian Yu, on the other hand, enters her chamber and begins checking if her newfound ability to see through things can help her tomorrow .

The wardrobe inside the chamber becomes her experimental object .

San Qiu returns not long later, with the sections of wood that Yun Qian Yu wanted .

Everyone inside the house cannot understand what Yun Qian Yu plans to do with the wood .

Yun Qian Yu nods in approval when she sees what San Qiu brought back home .   San Qiu is indeed efficient in his work, he followed her instruction to the tee .

Feng Ran, Yi Ri and Yun Nian steps forward, trying to get a better look at what it is Yun Qian Yu wants to do .

Yun Qian Yu picks up a brush and a piece of paper and begins drawing something .   She shows it to San Qiu once she is done, “Can you make it?”

San Qiu looks at the drawing before nodding, “I can!”

“Then, make two identical ones . ” After leaving that work to San Qiu and the men, she returns to her chamber and resumes her experiment .

Not long later, Long Jin comes to visit .   San Qiu sends him away, telling him that Yun Qian Yu has gone to rest .

Although Long Jin can see them working on new clothes and carving woods, he cannot see how that has anything to do with the challenge tomorrow .

After he left the residence, Long Jin heads for Bei Tang Gu Qiu’s accommodation .   He told him everything he saw in Gong Sang Mo’s courtyard, but even Bei Tang Gu Qiu remains clueless .   Despite so, he knows that Long Jin’s purpose here is not simply to share news with him .

Yun Qian Yu remains cooped up inside Gong Sang Mo’s residence for the rest of the day .   She continues practicing her see-through ability, only stopping momentarily during meal-times .

As for Gong Sang Mo, since they will leave the mountain tomorrow, he keeps his s.h.i.+fu company for the entire day .

The entire mountain is currently buzzing with speculations, everyone wants to know how Yun Qian Yu is going to do the challenge tomorrow .   How does she plan to go down the mountain through the snowy slopes?  She even said that her method will be faster than using the steps or directly using inner power .

Many of them does not think she will make it .   She is only bragging under the basis of their Senior Uncle’s love for her .

There are some others though, that believes in her .   Since she said she can do it, she must truly have a way to do it .   Otherwise, the Retired Emperor wouldn’t have trusted her for this important mission to begin with .

The three Celestials belong to the latter category .   They have been trying to wheedle infos from Gong Sang Mo, but he keeps smiling at them while saying, “I didn’t ask her .   We will all know tomorrow . ”

The three Celestials are annoyed by Gong Sang Mo’s tight-lippedness .   They thought, he has become his wife’s slave even before marrying .

All of the above happens without Yun Qian Yu even knowing .

When Gong Sang Mo returns to the chamber after having dinner with his s.h.i.+fu, Yun Qian Yu leaps off the bed and runs straight into his chest .

“Sang Mo, I finally managed to control my ability!”

Gong Sang Mo holds Yun Qian Yu tightly while smiling, planting a kiss on her forehead, “I knew you could do it, Yu Er!”

Yun Qian Yu smiles at him happily .

Gong Sang Mo looks at all the things that she has the servants prepared, “These are the things you need for tomorrow?”

“En,” Yun Qian Yu nods secretively .

“How do you plan to use them?”

“I’m not telling .   You will see it tomorrow . ”

“Did you have dinner yet?”  Instead of pursuing the question, Gong Sang Mo smiles and changes the topic .

Yun Qian Yu suddenly pouts .

“What’s wrong?” asks Gong Sang Mo in confusion .

“Where is the plum wine that you promised me?” Yun Qian Yu narrows her eyes at him .

“You were pouting because of plum wine?” teases Gong Sang Mo, amused .

“I promised Ji Shu Liu I’d drink it with him!”

“When?” Gong Sang Mo suddenly frowns when Ji Shu Liu’s name comes up .

“When he gave me the dagger the other day,” replies Yun Qian Yu .

“Since you already promised him, we will have to stick to that promise .   I already asked San Qiu to dig them all up .   I thought we could drink it together in the capital,” explains Gong Sang Mo .

Yun Qian Yu is excited, “You have 3 jars, right?  Let’s drink one tonight!”

“Alright,” Gong Sang Mo orders San Qiu to bring one in .

Gong Sang Mo carries the jar while Yun Qian Yu carries a tray which contains the dishes that Chen Xiang and the girls made tonight .   Both of them made their way to Ji Shu Liu’s residence .

Ji Shu Liu smiles when he sees them, “I thought Princess already forgot . ”

“Impossible,” Yun Qian Yu puts the tray on the table .   She takes off her cloak and then begins taking the dishes out, one by one .   Gong Sang Mo opens the seal of the jar while Ji Shu Liu takes out three tea cups for them to use .  

The moment the seal of the jar is broken, the air is immediately filled with the scent of plum blossom wine .

When Gong Sang Mo begins pouring, the scent becomes even thicker .

“I think I came at just the right timing,” Su Huai Feng walks in while smiling as he sniffs the scent in the air .  

Yun Qian Yu purses her lips, “Yet another one with keen nose . ”

Su Huai Feng is momentarily taken aback, “Another one?  Who else got the honour to be called as such by Your Highness?  Is it Senior Uncle?”

Ji Shu Liu looks at Gong Sang Mo before laughing, “Huai Feng, you even dared to make fun of your Senior Uncle!”

“Only because Princess is here!”  Su Huai Feng shamelessly picks up a cup before pouring himself a cup of wine .

Ji Shu Liu turns to the couple and finds that Su Huai Feng is right .   Gong Sang Mo does not appear irritated at all .   Instead, he looks at Yun Qian Yu dotingly .

Su Huai Feng sighs in appreciation as he takes in the scent of the wine, “Out of everyone in the mountain, only Honorable Grandmaster has had the fortune to drink Senior Uncle’s plum wine .   Who would have thought I would get lucky right before I am about to leave the mountain?”

“We are all merely borrowing Princess’ fortune,” Ji Shu Liu laughs as he looks at the reluctant Gong Sang Mo .

Yun Qian Yu closes her eyes in appreciation after she eagerly tasted the wine, “It’s so good . ”

“Are you a good drinker, Your Highness?” Su Huai Feng looks at Yun Qian Yu who looks a little intoxicated .

Ji Shu Liu looks at Gong Sang Mo before laughing, “This is only her second time drinking, ever . ”

“This is only her second time?  She looked like she’d be good at drinking, though,” observed Su Huai Feng .

“Her first time drinking was on the way here .   Xian w.a.n.g and I only got to drink one cup .   The rest of the jar was finished by her .   Turns out, that wasn’t enough for her . ”

“Don’t tell me she is the type that can drink a thousand jars without pa.s.sing out?” asks Su Huai Feng in surprising .

“It’s possible . ”

Since they only have one jar tonight, they cannot test Yun Qian Yu’s alcohol limit .   Instead, they can only resort to fighting for sc.r.a.ps with her .   If she has her way, they wouldn’t get even a single sip .

Yun Qian Yu wonders how Gong Sang Mo made the wine when there is no plum blossom in the mountain .

When she asked that question, Su Huai Feng replies before Gong Sang Mo gets the chance to .

Turns out Lan County has this one place called ‘Plum Blossom Valley’ .   Gong Sang Mo will go there every year to pick the blossoms and brew wine .   He will drink the wine the next year .

“Will you go again, this year?” asks Yun Qian Yu .

“If I have time,” replies Gong Sang Mo .

“If you do, take me with you,” says Yun Qian Yu longingly .

“Alright,” replies Gong Sang Mo willingly .

The four of them are very carefree .   They put away all their worries and drink without any inhibition .

They only return to their respective residences when the night is already deep .

When they return to Gong Sang Mo’s residence, Yun Qian Yu takes off her cloak and outer robe before lying down on the bed .   Then, she pats the s.p.a.ce next to her, “Come and sleep .   We will return to the capital with your junior tomorrow . ”

Gong Sang Mo’s eyes soften .   He takes off his outer robe before lying next to Yun Qian Yu .

Yun Qian Yu puts her head on his chest .

He can smell the wine coming from her cherry-like lips .

His eyes darken .   He lowers his head and kisses her .   Yun Qian Yu’s pretty face is a deadly temptation to him right now .

After kissing her for a while longer, Gong Sang Mo finally recovers his self-restrain .

“Sleep,” Gong Sang Mo suppresses the longing that he feels within him .   He wraps her with a quilt before hugging her tight .   Then, he drifts off into an uneasy sleep .

Yun Qian Yu smiles as she closes her eyes, she too entering the beautiful world of dreams .

The next day, the celestial mountain is already buzzing long before Yun Qian Yu even wakes up .

1

Even the ones who are usually too lazy to wake up early are already up before the sun rises .   After breakfast, instead of going to the training ground, they head to the peak of the slope, waiting for the challenge to begin .

Yun Qian Yu, on the other hand, wakes up like she usually does .   After bathing, she comfortably eats breakfast with Gong Sang Mo .

Although a lot of people are getting impatient with waiting, none of them dares to go to Gong Sang Mo’s residence .   Not because they fear Yun Qian Yu, but because they are scared of Gong Sang Mo .   It is pretty much general knowledge amongst the disciples of the mountain that their Senior Uncle dotes on Princess Hu Guo like she is the pearl within his palm, who would dare to seek trouble with her?

Whilst the disciples are perceptive, a certain prince is not .   When Long Jin reaches the peak and finds that Yun Qian Yu has not arrived, he turns around and heads towards Gong Sang Mo’s palace .

“Don’t tell me Princess Hu Guo does not dare to do the challenge now?” Long Jin seems to be in a really good mood this morning .   Who knows what he and Bei Tang Gu Qiu had been chatting about, yesterday .

(TN:  Okay, seriously .   The s.h.i.+p is sailing :D)

Gong Sang Mo looks at Yun Qian Yu who is still calmly eating .   He sneers, “Throw him out . ”

San Qiu and Yi Ri moves together and in the blink of an eye, Long Jin finds himself standing outside .

Gong Sang Mo’s door is shut loudly in front of his face .

Long Jin points at the door angrily, “You—- You… . . ”

He, then looks around, pretending to be casual .   He is lucky everyone is now at the peak of the slope, so no one had witnessed his plight .

He flings his sleeves and storms away .

At the same time, Yun Qian Yu is eating her breakfast without even lifting her head .

After she is done, she looks at Gong Sang Mo, “Sang Mo . ”

“What’s wrong?” Gong Sang Mo can tell that Yun Qian Yu wants to say something but has been refraining herself from doing so .

1

“If I want to ask from something from your s.h.i.+fu, do you think he will get angry?” asks Yun Qian Yu hesitantly .   After all, she herself, did not prepare any gift for Sheng Xue Tian Zun prior to coming here .

“No, he won’t .   I already gave him gifts under your name .   If there is anything you want, feel free to say it,” replies Gong Sang Mo confidently .

Her eyes light up .   “Do you have more of this jade bed?” asks Yun Qian Yu quietly .

Gong Sang Mo raises an eyebrow, “Only s.h.i.+fu and his four disciples have these warm jade beds .   The other disciples only have regular stone bed, but they are also warm .   You want a jade bed?”

If Yun Qian Yu want a jade bed, he really needs to begin planning how to transport it back to the capital .

“No .   I want a piece of warm jade that I can turn into a hair ornament,” Yun Qian Yu begins estimating the size of the jade that she will need .

“That will be easy .   Warm jade is this mountain’s specialty .   It can only be found in the southern side of the mountain, there are not many in number, but there’d be no problem if that’s the size that you want,” rea.s.sures Gong Sang Mo .   To tell the truth, the size does not matter .   If Yun Qian Yu wants one the size of a bed, he would gladly give her his .   He would do anything to make sure she gets what she wants .

Yun Qian Yu smiles, “Let’s go and visit your s.h.i.+fu to bid him farewell!”

Gong Sang Mo laughs, “Are you sure that’s why you want to see him?”

Both of them head towards Sheng Xue Tian Zun’s residence while holding hands .   Just like Gong Sang Mo promised, Sheng Xue Tian Zun agreed easily .  He even instructs Qing Ling Xian to escort Yun Qian Yu to where they store the jade so that she can personally choose the one that she wants .

He told her to take two pieces, but Yun Qian Yu is not greedy and only takes one .  

Yun Qian Yu wants one because Wen Ling Shan’s body is cold .   She will be in pain every month during that time of the month .   If she marries, it will not be easy for her to bear children .   In this society, if a woman cannot give birth, she will have no place in her husband’s household .

Yun Qian Yu picks up the piece that she wants and returns to Gong Sang Mo’s residence .   She, then changes into the outfit that she instructed the girls to make the day before .   She stuffs the lower half of her pants into a pair of long boots and ties her hair high in a ponytail .   She covers her head with a fluffy white hat and ties it tight to make sure it won’t fall .

She also fastens a fur collar around her neck .

After getting ready, Yun Qian Yu orders the servants to prepare to leave the mountain .

They does not want to leave first, they want to see how Yun Qian Yu will perform the challenge .

“You will leave now .   Even if you leave at the very moment, I will still have to wait for you for a long time, at the base of the mountain,” says Yun Qian Yu .

The corner of their lips twitch .   In the end, they follow her order and leave first with the luggages .

Yun Qian Yu and Gong Sang Mo make their way to the peak of the slope while holding hands .

Yun Qian Yu shrugs when she sees the amount of people miling about .

The three celestials order their disciples to make way to let Yun Qian Yu through .

She walks past them calmly, ignoring the curious looks the disciples are sending her and the wooden board that San Qiu is holding as he walks behind her .

Su Huai Feng is waiting for her with a smile, “Have you prepared everything, Your Highness?”

Yun Qian Yu nods, “We can begin now . ”

“Wait a minute,” the annoying Long Jin speaks up .

“What is it, Crown Prince Jin?” asks Su Huai Feng .

“We can’t know for sure if she will be using her inner power once she started the challenge .   It’s not like we can go along with her .   How can Princess Hu Guo guarantee us that she will be taking this challenge honestly?” Long Jin smiles at Yun Qian Yu calculatively .

Su Huai Feng frowns .   To tell the truth, he believes that Yun Qian Yu is righteous .   However, just because he does, does not mean that others will .

Without waiting for Su Huai Feng’s reply, Yun Qian Yu speaks first, “You can seal my inner power first, to let those petty people’s hearts be at ease . ”

Long Jin blushes; isn’t she basically singling him out and called him petty?

“Whoever that has to seal your inner power cannot be your own people, Your Highness,” adds Long Jin maliciously .

“Will it be alright if I trouble the 6th w.a.n.gye?” asks Yun Qian Yu as she turns towards Bei Tang Gu Qiu .

He looks at her in surprise, he did not expect her to select him .   One must know that his power is very different from the rest .

“Since Your Highness said so, it is not right for this king to say no,” replies Bei Tang Gu Qiu .

“Please go on, w.a.n.gye,” says Yun Qian Yu .

Gong Sang Mo, Su Huai Feng and Ji Shu Liu know why Yun Qian Yu picked Bei Tang Gu Qiu .

Both Bei Tang Gu Qiu and Long Jin are outsiders .   Long Jin cannot be trusted to seal her inner power; and whilst Bei Tang Gu Qiu is full of intrigue, he is also a righteous person .   Besides, Bei Tang Gu Qiu’s inner power is one of a kind .   Only he can unlock his own moves .   If he seals Yun Qian Yu’s inner power, no one will ever suspect Yun Qian Yu of secretly unlocking it midway .   All in all, no one will put up a dispute over anything if he is the one to seal Yun Qian Yu’s acupuncture points .

Bei Tang Gu Qiu steps forward and lifts his right hand .   With his index and middle finger combined, he quickly seals all of Yun Qian Yu’s acupuncture points .

“Would you like to check if bengong’s inner power is sealed, Crown Prince Jin?” Yun Qian Yu offers Long Jin her wrist .  

Long Jin is stunned, “This Crown Prince naturally believes in the 6th w.a.n.gye’s moral . ”

“Turns out, there is someone over here whom Crown Prince Jin actually trusts,” states Yun Qian Yu blandly .   She takes the s...o...b..ard from San Qiu and ties them tightly around her feet with ropes .   Then, she takes out the long pole .

She was so excited when she saw the slope last night, this is the perfect landscape for s...o...b..arding .   Even if she can use her inner power, she wouldn’t .   s...o...b..arding had been her favourite past time in her past life .   Who would have thought she would get another chance to do this in this lifetime?

Yun Qian Yu walks to the edge of the slope before turning around to face Gong Sang Mo, “Sang Mo, you should go down there and wait for me . ”

“Alright,” replies Sang Mo .

Then, she turns towards Su Huai Feng, “Are you ready, Young Master Su?  The journey back to Nan Lou’s capital will take half a month!”

“Fret not, Your Highness, I will not take back my own words . ”

“Alright, then, let’s meet down there . ”  After saying that, she fixes her fur scarf, concealing her face and revealing only her eyes .   Then, with a push of the long pole, she slides down the edge .

She gracefully travels down the slope, like a b.u.t.terfly .   The speed in which she is going could only be catch up to if the others use their inner power .

The crowd from the top watches her in awe; turns out, it is possible after all .

Not long later, they can only hear her voice, “Wow!”  The only thing they can see is the two eagles following her from above .

Gong Sang Mo chuckles to himself before turning around and heading towards the stone steps .   He should start moving now .   Otherwise, with Yu Er’s speed, she might have to wait for them for a long time .

Su Huai Feng stares after her departing silhouette as she disappears like the wind .   Turns out, she was right .   There are only things one does not want to do, not things that one cannot do .

He kowtows in front of Qing Yun Xian, “s.h.i.+fu, this disciple will leave the mountain now . ”

“You can go, but don’t neglect Xue Lian Han Gong .   It is a privilege bestowed to only the disciples of our mountain . ”

“This disciple will obey s.h.i.+fu’s teaching,” Su Huai Feng pays his respect to Qing Yuan Xian and Qing Ling Xian before following Gong Sang Mo’s footsteps .

Long Jin looks at the slope of the mountain in disbelief .   With the speed she has been going, she would reach the base of the mountain in less than half an incense stick time .   The look in his eyes darken as he turns around to leave .

Bei Tang Gu Qiu looks at everything in shock .   No wonder Gong Sang Mo likes her so much .   An unrivalled beauty, a prodigious doctor, a genius mind, no men wouldn’t like this kind of women .

Since Yun Qian Yu’s silhouette has disappeared, the people are starting to disperse as well .

Bei Tang Gu Qiu turns around before speaking to the people behind him, “Leave now!”

And so, the celestial mountain is calm once again .

At the base of the mountain, Feng Ran and Yi Ri have been waiting since morning .

They are accompanied by Long Jin and Bei Tang Gu Qiu’s people, as well as the two disciples who gave Gong Sang Mo and Yun Qian Yu noodles .

When Yun Qian Yu appears like the wind, they all stare at her in disbelief .   Just how fast is she going, exactly?

Is she really not using her inner power?

When Yun Qian Yu sees the crowd, she naturally knows their motives .   She circles around them for good measure before finally stopping right in front of them .

Feng Ran and Yi Ri step forward .

Yun Qian Yu opens the rope that has been bounding her feet to the board .   Her feet finally feel better .

One of the men steps forward, asking, “Did you really not use inner power, Princess Hu Guo?”

Yun Qian Yu replies them, “My acupuncture point has been sealed by the 6th w.a.n.gye prior to the challenge .   Bengong hope the 6th w.a.n.gye will be here soon .   Bengong still needs him to unlock it before returning to Nan Lou Kingdom . ”

When the crowd hears that Bei Tang Gu Qiu personally sealed her inner power, they acknowledges that it would have been impossible for her to cheat .

Yun Qian Yu, Feng Ran and Yi Ri then made their way to the inn to rest and wait .

The two disciples in charge of keeping the inn thought they were really fortunate to meet the future Xian w.a.n.gfei and personally witness this historical sight .

Both of them follow Yun Qian Yu from behind, making small talks .

Yun Qian Yu changes her outfit first, before heading to the hall to drink tea .

Around an hour later, Chen Xiang and the rest arrive .

When they see her leisurely drinking tea, they thought they were hallucinating .   They rub their eyes, and when the vision of Yun Qian Yu persists, they decide that this must be true .

Feng Ran looks at Chen Xiang and the girls in disdain, “Mistress has been drinking tea for close to an hour . ”

They exchange a look before quietly putting all the baggages inside their carriages .   They clean the carriages as well, to prepare for the journey home .  

 Not long later, the people who are to leave the mountain arrives .

Gong Sang Mo and Su Huai Feng arrives first .   As for Ji Shu Liu, he leaves immediately the moment he reaches the base of the mountain .   He appears anxious .   He did not even board his carriage and instead chooses to ride his horse .

Following them closely are the people from Mo Dai Kingdom .

Gong Sang Mo and Yun Qian Yu wait for the people from Jiu Xiao Kingdom, Bei Tang Gu Qiu in particular .

The two disciples from the inn look at Yun Qian Yu’s s...o...b..ard with sparkling eyes .

“It is not easy for use that, if you are not careful, you might get hurt,” states Yun Qian Yu .

“We are not afraid,” replies the two disciples .

Yun Qian Yu studies their earnest expressions before saying, “Let’s go .   Since I still have time, I will teach you two how to use this . ”

The two of them look at her in grat.i.tude .

When the crowd hears what Yun Qian Yu says, they follow her out, including the people from Mo Dai Kingdom .

Yun Qin Yu returns to the direction she skidded down from and chooses a mild slope .   She tells them the general idea of s...o...b..arding before giving them a demonstration .

They are indeed worthy of being disciples of the mountain .   They completely exceed her expectation .

It does not take them long to start s...o...b..arding properly on the small slope .

“This slope is not that steep, so the speed is still manageable .   However, just because you can ski from this slope does not mean that you will be able to ski from the very peak .   The terrain is much steeper from up there, so the speed will be really high as well .   When you are s...o...b..arding, you need to be able to make decisions instantly if anything arises .   It will make a difference between life and death,” reminds Yun Qian Yu when she sees the smug looks on their faces .

The two disciples immediately look at the peak of the slope in the distance .

They originally thought they could slide down the mountain by the end of the month .

Yun Qian Yu sighs in relief when she sees that they have given up their wishful thinking .

“Both of you can slowly increase the level of difficulty .   Wait until you fully master everything before you give it a try .   It will be a one of a kind experience, it will be different than using inner power to go down,” says Yun Qian Yu as she looks at the mountain peak .

The two nod in unison .

Because there is only one s...o...b..ard, they have to share for now .   But they have decided to make another copy so that they wouldn’t have to use it in rotation .

Since San Qiu is the one who made this, the two of them pretty much make San Qiu their s.h.i.+fu with the way they ha.s.sle him for details .

When Yun Qian Yu returns to the inn, Gong Sang Mo is playing chess with Su Huai Feng .

Instead of interrupting them, Yun Qian Yu returns to her room to change .   Yu Nuo finally has the chance to comb Yun Qian Yu’s hair .   For the past half a month, Gong Sang Mo had been hijacking her job .

Once she finishes combing Yun Qian Yu’s hair, Feng Ran walks in, “Mistress, what does the 6th w.a.n.gye mean by this?”

Man Er walks in after him, dissatisfied as well, “What on earth does he plan to do?  Even if he has to manually climb down, he should be here by now . ”

Yun Qian Yu looks at them, “What is there to be hasty for?”

“Your acupuncture points are still sealed,” replies Man Er as though she cannot believe Yun Qian Yu is still so calm .

When Feng Ran sees Yun Qian Yu’s calm demeanor, his heart calms down a little .   Gong Sang Mo is leisurely playing with Su Huai Feng outside; if neither of them is panicking, it means that the situation is still under control .

In the meantime, an unlikeable person decides to watch the fanfare .

Long Jin’s carriage is all ready, waiting for him right outside .

He walks in and immediately spots the two leisure men, “Both of you seem so carefree . ”

Both Gong Sang Mo and Su Huai Feng tacitly agree to not pay him any attention, their gazes never wavering from the chessboard .

Long Jin rubs his nose at being ignored and walks closer to them .  

“The poor people of Mo Dai Kingdom…” Yun Qian Yu walks out of the hall the moment she hears Long Jin’s voice .

Long Jin frowns, “Worry about yourself, Your Highness .   I heard, Bei Tang Gu Qiu’s art of cultivation is very demonic, it will be impossible to unlock the acupuncture points that he sealed .   If it is not unsealed in time, the sufferer will have to pay a heavy price . ”

Yun Qian Yu is completely unruffled as she replies him, “Bengong has only realized that Crown Prince Jin is a person who loves to worry . ”

Long Jin chokes on his own breath .   He only wanted to see a panicking and grief-stricken Yun Qian Yu, why is it so hard for that to happen?

At that very moment, the game of chess ends, with Gong Sang Mo narrowly winning .

Both of them act as though they have only noticed Long Jin, “You haven’t left yet, Crown Prince Jin?”

The corner of Long Jin’s lips twitches, “This prince is about to .   I am only here to bid all of you farewell . ”

“Oh .   Yu Er, we should go too,” smiles Gong Sang Mo .

“Alright, everything is ready,” replies Yun Qian Yu .

At the same time, one of Long Jin’s people rushes in and whispers to his ears, “Your Majesty, Bei Tang Gu Qiu has reached the base of the mountain and has left . ”

A wide smile fills Long Jin’s face .

“Then, I shall bid you farewell,” he clasps his fists in front of them .

“Please,” Gong Sang Mo gestures towards the door .

Yun Qian Yu and Su Huai Feng walk out first, followed by Long Jin .   He cannot wait to see them embarra.s.s themselves .
