Chapter 443: Forsaking Honour for Punishment

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations  Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“Tsk tsk… What a rare tender piece of meat.” Zhou Shu Yu looked straight at Sima You Yue, almost drooling.

“Cough–” The innkeeper coughed, using his hands to cover his mouth as he said softly, “This Zhou Shu Yu is a famous ****. Any man that catches her attention usually does not meet a good end.”

“Zhou Shu Yu?” Sima You Yue listened to the name and looked at her, and realised that she shared many similarities with Zhou Shu Ren.

“How dare you call our Hall Leader’s Name out loud?” The man who had been beaten up exclaimed. Zhou Shu Yu waved him off and got him to shut up. She looked at Sima You Yue and grinned, saying, “You know me?”

“What relationship do you share with Zhou Shu Ren?” Sima You Yue asked.

“He is my older brother.” Zhou Shu Yu smiled. “So you know my brother. I guess we share some fate together.”

Sima You Yue rolled her eyes in her heart – did she really consider this, fate? She wasn’t wrong, but she had just killed her brother, and she had simply decided to present herself to his killer.

“I don’t wish to share any fate with you.”

“How can that be so?” Zhou Shu Yu looked at Sima You Yue, seething with anger. “I’ve already laid my eyes on you, and am prepared to bring you home to become my eighteenth manstress. If we do not share some affinity, how could we have met?” This Zhou Shu Yu was quite pretty, and rather elegant. Even in her state of anger, she looked rather attractive.

On that day, she had returned to the Hall, and saw that all her servants had been severely beaten. She had wanted to berate them, but knew that it was of no use, and was prepared to punish the lot before sending some underlings to deal with Sima You Yue and her crew. However, she had received news that in the group there was a handsome young man, and so she had decided to join that team to look for them so that she could see for herself. She never thought that her heart would have been snatched away by the man she had laid eyes on.

The moment Sima You Yue heard the words “eighteenth manstress”, she felt a pang of disgust and said, “I’m certainly not interested in an old hag like you.”

An old hag?! Zhou Shu Yu’s face fell. She did not look older than thirty years of age. Because she required a longer time to grow her strength, she had started to look haggard. And she hated it whenever someone said that she looked old.

“Don’t you forsake honour for a punishment.” Zhou Shu Yu said, “For those like you who just love to go against the Heavenly Tiger Hall, I will have to punish you thoroughly. If you’re not thinking about your own future, at least consider those in your crew. If you would give yourself in exchange for their freedom, it would be a deal that is more than worthy!”

“I don’t wish for honour, and I don’t intend to accept any punishment either. If you don’t want your Heavenly Tiger Hall to be disgraced any further, I suggest that you take your motley crew and leave!” Sima You Yue said flatly, as if she simply had no fear of the Heavenly Tiger Hall.

“This arrogant jerk!” Zhou Shu Yu had never been spoken to in such a manner before, and spat, “Men, arrest him! And after that, arrest and deal with all of his crew right here!”

“Yes, Hall Leader!” Proclaimed the two guards emerged from behind Zhou Shu Yu.

“Aiya, here we go again. Whatever that’s broken from this fight, do compensate for it accordingly.” The innkeeper observed the goings-on between them and sighed, escaping to the outer yard.

Sima You Yue glanced over at the innkeeper. She had not noticed even a strand of fear in his being. In fact, he looked a little excited. Had he escaped the same way in the previous fight as well?

“You Yue.” Sima You Lin and Bei Gong Tang ran down from upstairs, standing next to Sima You Yue, taking stance against the Heavenly Tiger Hall. Seeing Sima You Lin, Zhou Shu Yu’s eyes lit up again. This punk was also rather handsome. But the moment she saw Bei Gong Tang, her face fell again and pointed at her, saying, “Arrest the two men, and kill off this woman.”

“Hall Leader, this lady is rather pretty, why don’t we give her to our brothers.” The perverted guard said.

“Sure. But remember to destroy her face once you’re done with her. I don’t like her face.” Zhou Shu Yu said.

“Thank you, Hall Leader for your generosity!” The perverted wolves behind her smiled creepily, looking at Bei Gong Tang as if they wanted to strip her there and then.

Wei Zi Qi emerged from upstairs, and was deeply enraged by what he had heard the Heavenly Tiger Hall members saying. His eyes filled with a deep fury.

Sima You Yue laughed coldly, saying, “You guys definitely share the same blood, for you are both equally disgusting!”

“Can we just kill these people off?” Fatty Qu asked. Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang were their goddesses, and they would not tolerate seeing their goddesses being dishonoured like that!

“Sure.” Sima You Yue said.

“Alright.” With Sima You Yue’s permission, Fatty Qu clenched his fists and charged forward even before the Heavenly Tiger Hall members were able to move. Little Tu was angered as well, his eyes focused on the enemy. Although he was young, the blood of a spirit beast still flowed in his veins, and so he was not to be taken lightly either.

“You’ll regret having ever having designs on my sister!”

“You wish to take my brother?!”

“I’ll kill you!”

Little Tu yelled as he beat the others up, and beating them unconscious with a few punches before moving on to find other targets. The Heavenly Tiger Hall’s members saw that their opponents were not lacking in strength or might, and knew that they had no real advantage over them and began to escape. Sima You Lin gave chase. The passers-by on the streets gave way quickly, not wanting to get involved. Sima You Yue went head-on with Zhou Shu Yu. But because it was not possible for her to fight an aerial battle, they fought on the streets.

This was the first time Sima You Yue fought with someone after ascending to the Divine rank. Back when she fought Zhou Shu Ren, there were many others around as well, unlike this one-on-one fight she was having with Zhou Shu Yu. Zhou Shu Yu was a pinnacle beginning rank Divine King, and was just a little higher in rank than Sima You Yue. But because she was more interested in having relationships than actually fighting, she was not a very strong fighter. Zhou Shu Yu brandished a whip. Sima You Yue recognised it as a superior saint artifact that was about to become a divine artifact. If she used it to attack, its strength would be doubled.

SNAP—

Zhou Shu Yu’s whip lashed, with its spirit energy, it sent a loud crack resounding in the air. Sima You Yue did not want to engage with the whip, and rolled to the side, avoiding the whip. At the same time, she made Ling Long morph into a whip in the spirit pagoda. Zhou Shu Yu saw that Sima You Yue’s reflexes were quick and were able to avoid the lash of her her whip. With another flick of the wrist, the whip chased after her again.

Sima You Yue had been cornered, and seeing the whip coming after her, she ran up the walls and slipped past the whip.

“You think only you have a whip?” She said. At this time, she summoned out Ling Long, who also brandished her whip, and coiled it around Zhou Shu Yu’s. Sima You Yue noticed that after she had ascended to the divine rank, her spirit artifacts had also become more powerful for use, and could double or triple their spirit energy when they used them. This was not the first time Ling Long was used as a spirit weapon. Previously, if it were not pots and pans, then it was a hammer or a dagger. Of course, the one that left the greatest impression on everyone was that flat-bottomed pot.
