Chapter 17: Calamitous Beauty.
Luo Qing QIng abruptly dodged her head upward and looked around. When her eyes noticed the white dog trapped by the daggers to the wall, she was stunned.
The dog cried pleadingly to express his word to his master and motioned his head aimed toward Han Xia Yu, to signal the perpetrator that did all this to him.
Luo Qing Qing looked at Han Xia Yu and saw that the other party is calm and smiling but her smile is almost scary. She was about to ask her what happens when Han Xia Yu explained it first.
“That old lecher is just asking for it. Qing Qing shouldn’t worry too much. My ability to control the daggers is even better than making the pill.” Her eyes are smiling but it makes people shuddered when they heard what she said.
Han Xia Yu is proficient with the dart or anything involves throwing. From throwing the stone to the can, or throw darts at the target, she always wins no matter who her competitor was.
As long as it involves throwing, even thief that stole her bag will be defeated before her shoes throwing skill.
Han Xia Yu smiled at the dog and smirked as she glanced at the part between his legs.
The dog looked at the direction she stares at and struggled even more to speak. The dog cried but with no tears flowing out of his eyes pleading his master to help him.
‘That young lady is too scary to handle. This prince is not tough enough to fight her, young miss, please help~~ This prince doesn’t want to be castrated yet!’
After having enough fun punishing the dog, Han Xia Yu released him and kept the daggers in her ring.
“Sorry little puppy.” She also apologized to him but there’s no hint of sincerity, after all, he is just asking for it to have dagger thrown at him.
The dog no longer dared to think of anything pervert toward the young lady fearing he would lose his manhood one day. If not because he is still unable to regain his full strength, he would have taught that young lady for being rough and rude to him, the direct descendant of horse dragon.
Luo Qing Qing asked casually how she could see Ao Wang and Han Xia Yu also replied casually.
“I also don’t know why I can see him. Not only that, I knew his name before he even introduces himself.” She said as she shrugged her shoulder.
“Anyway, since you have wakes up, think of a way to explain to the people outside.”
“Ah, okay. I will explain it to them.” Luo Qing Qing nodded lightly.
Ao Wang hid his wing and let Luo Qing Qing carried him in her arm.
Then, the two came out and saw no one at the corridor. Han Xia Yu saw a maid and beckoned her over.
The maid bowed and greeted both Han Xia Yu and Luo Qing Qing.
“Cheng Yi, where are shifu and cousin?”
“Nubi[1] saw them sitting in the main hall.”
(Nubi – This servant, used by a female servant. Nucai used by a male servant.)
Han Xia Yu nodded and rewarded the maid a silver tael. The maid thanked her profusely before continue her duty.
The two walked toward the main hall and heard the conversation between Yao Shi and Xiao Hei.
“One should take off that mask before requesting help. It is rude to discuss without showing one true face.” The one who speaks was Yao Shi.
“If you want others to do what you ask, you have to be able to do the same. That human skin mask doesn’t seem to be comfortable, does it? Yao Shifu.” Xiao Hei sneered.
Han Xia Yu scratched the back of her head and looked at Luo Qing Qing with confusion.
“These two couldn’t be left alone at all. They are just as childish as the kids.” She sighed before she opened the door and greeted her shifu.
She stood up and introduced Luo Qing Qing to them.
When Luo Qing Qing was introduced, the people except Xiao Hei were shocked to know that the fourth miss is still alive especially for Wu Die Yi.
He received the letter and the letter has an intense emotional intent[2].
(Intent in this term means energy.)
Yao Shi only bewildered for a short moment before he beckoned Luo Qing Qing to sit next to him. He took the girl’s wrist and checked her pulse. After confirming that the girl is doing alright, he asked Han Xia Yu.
“What is this all about, Yu Er?”
“It wasn’t my intention to hide this matter, however, my little[3] qing qing really died and the one right here…” Han Xia Yu turned to look at Luo Qing Qing and continued a beat later after she saw the girl nodded. “She is a reincarnated soul from another realm. Hope shifu can pardon this unfilial student for hiding this matter from you.” She bowed her head down.
[Little here doesn’t mean tiny. It means cute or dear. Usually stayed as pinyin word, Xiao but in this novel I use little to avoid disturb your reading.]
The reincarnated soul might be rare but it is something that exists in this world and recorded in the history as one of the mysterious miracles.
“Reincarnated soul? So, it is soul recording.” Yao Shi is no longer blaming Han Xia Yu. He just scanned Luo Qing Qing and had an excited look on his face as if he found an interesting object.
Meanwhile, Wu Die Yi helped Han Xia Yu to sit and patted the girl’s head gently as he comforts her. “Xiao Qing is also has reincarnated and living somewhere happily. So you have to be strong, Yu Er.”
“I’m alright…” Han Xia Yu smiled as she nodded her head lightly.
Wu Yi Xue just smiled warmly looking at her uncle and cousin before she coughed twice when she saw Yao Shifu questioned many things to Luo Qing Qing making the girl dizzy.
“Shifu, please hold back a little. Cousin Qing has just recovered.”
“Tsk.” The old man clicked his tongue and left Wu Yi Xue dumbfounded.
Han Xia Yu just sighed helplessly looking at the old man acting so childish like a kid found a new toy to play.
Although Yao Shifu is renown in the lower realm, he is famous for his ability to raise student to surpass their limit. However, his own ability to heal other people or recognizing treasure is too low. He was interested more in cultivation, combat, experimenting new thing and learn new thing than learning to master a profession.
Therefore, while Han Xia Yu is talented in medical, Yao Shifu only knew the theory but could not heal.
Suddenly, she was reminded of the scene earlier. “Ah, right. Why did shifu tell Xiao Hei to open his mask?”
“Hmph, he requested something but don’t dare to reveal his face.” Yao Shi glanced at the man in black and harrumphed.
Xiao Hei had the urge to beat the man in front of him but he restrains himself from doing so. If he has sufficient strength, he doesn’t need to dirty his own hand and able to control the old man to beat his own body.
“You need to do the same before telling other to reveal their face.” He replied as he glared at the old man.
Han Xia Yu could see the electric spark between the two as they exchanged glares.
She knows that if she left them to explain themselves, this matter won’t end.
“Xiao Hei, although you didn’t trust us yet, you should reveal your face to us. It is the basic requirement to request something to someone and I don’t think that you need to worry about your safety if you just reveal it to the people here. Yao Shifu, do the same.”
Xiao Hei glared at Han Xia Yu but he saw Luo Qing Qing glared at him. He turned his face the other way to avoid her glare. Meanwhile, Yao Shifu just laughed out loud.
“Hahaha, to think that you are afraid of this little girl. You big man has small courage!”
“What did you say?” Xiao Hei menacingly emitted his aura.
Yao Shifu also emitted his aura and the two auras clashed. Although Yao Shifu’s cultivation stage is at early Martial Supreme, his real strength is at the pinnacle of Martial Supreme.
In the end, Xiao Hei had to admit defeat because the old man is stronger than his current self. His body and soul are still recuperating so he couldn’t express his real strength.
Yao Shifu grinned merrily after gaining a victory over the young man. Then, he pulled the human mask on his face and revealed a youthful face of a mid thirty-year-old man.
As he wiped his hair using a towel, the ash grey faded and transformed into the pure soft white hair. Similar to Han Xia Yu, his eyes are misty grey color. The stern old man transformed into a scholarly middle age man.
Although Wu Die Yi and Wu Yi Xue have seen the transformation skill so many time, they are still stunned by the flawless skill Yao Shifu used to disguise himself. Sometimes, this old—the shifu would turn into an alluring woman that even Han Xia Yu envied.
Xiao Hei calmly observed as the old man peel the human mask. He had thought that the old man would be stubborn at not wanting to reveal his face. Now that he has revealed his face, Xiao Hei willingly does the same.
He took off the mask and Wu Yi Xue shrieked like a fangirl before fainting.
Han Xia Yu doesn’t even have time to be shocked by Xiao Hei appearance when she was shocked more to hear the shriek coming out Wu Yi Xue’s mouth. ‘That face… no wonder many people will try to take you away from Luo Qing Qing even resort to killing her.’
Although she liked the beautiful thing, Xiao Hei is just a calamitous beauty.
Han Xia Yu shook her head and looked at Luo Qing Qing with pities in her eyes.
Xiao Hei and Luo Qing Qing saw her reaction and felt dumbfounded.
‘Why did she suddenly pity the others?’

Chapter 18 Preview
Han Xia Yu was about to cross the road to go to the auction house when the crowd screamed in panic.
Someone shouted “Danger!” and Han Xia Yu saw the horse rampaged running toward her. She avoided the horse but an arrow was released from afar targetting her heart.
She noticed it too late to avoid it and closed her eyes accepting her fate. On the spur of the moment, someone hugs her and narrowly avoided the arrow.
The firm holds feel so reliable that she trusted her body whole to the man that held her in his arms. Han Xia Yu opened her eyes slowly and felt as if the world is passing by her slowly.
