Smack! There was another slap.
Even the kindest of souls had a temper, let alone a mighty Golden Core cultivator. Granny You said in surprise and anger, “You- I-”
“If you like it, I can keep slapping her for you!”
Northmoon paid absolutely no attention to granny You as he spoke to Qiu Haitang softly. He was unable to imitate how King You of Zhou lit the warning beacons to fool his nobles, but slapping a person around was still very easy to achieve.
TL: “King You of Zhou lighting the warning beacons to fool his nobles” is basically a story from Chinese history about how a beautiful woman can end an entire dynasty or kingdom (Yes, there have been numerous instances of beauties literally toppling cities or kingdoms for being too beautiful). King You of Zhou had an extremely beautiful concubine by the name of Bao Si, but she rarely smiled. King You would try to please her by falsely lighting the beacons as the warning of an attack, where his nobles would rush to the palace. Only then did Bao Si ever laugh. Basically, he did this too many times, and when an actual attack happened, the nobles were nowhere to be found. It’s quite similar to the Boy who Cried Wolf.

“There’s no need.”
Qiu Haitang lowered her head and replied softly. Her face was slightly red, knowing he was standing up for her. She was unable to describe whether this gesture had moved her or she was feeling something else. She felt slightly light-headed.
In the moment earlier, she was still being oppressed by granny You, harassed by E Feng, and cold-shouldered by everyone else, with only Li Qingshan willing to help her—when she thought up to there, she could not help but glance back, only to see that Li Qingshan had retreated far away, smiling and nodding at her.
When she looked around now, was there still anyone who did not look at her with a gaze filled with alarm? They were only afraid she would drag them into this mess with a single sentence. Even if they managed to survive through luck and only endured a few slaps, they would still be utterly humiliated. In particular, E Feng and his companions were ashen. They were as alarmed as stray dogs.
Then she saw Hua Chengzan’s extremely mixed expression. She smiled brightly, no longer clinging onto him at all. She discovered she actually felt rather complacent inside. Hmph, go think about your Gu Yanying. I have someone who wants me too!
Qiu Haitang bit her lip, tugged Northmoon by the collar, and pointed at E Feng’s group. “Them too!”
E Feng and his junior brothers cursed incessantly inside, calling her damn woman and wretched bitch. They smiled dryly.
“Sir, if you refuse to spare us, our master E Dan and prince Si Qing will never just let the matter be. Why must we make such a great mess out of a single misunderstanding?”
Northmoon waved his hand. “Since it’s merely a misunderstanding, why don’t you piss off now?”
Hearing that, E Feng and the others were overjoyed. They felt like they had just been spared. They thought, Hmph. Sure enough, he still has some qualms. This wretched daemon will definitely die a horrible death in the future! They wanted to toss out a few threats, but they were too afraid to do something like that, so they clasped their hands and turned around to leave.
Qiu Haitang was rather reluctant to simply let them go, but she did not forget it was all an act right now. If she fell out with him over something small and displeased him, it would not be worth it.
“Hold on!”
E Feng and his juniors had already arrived on the edge of the rooftop. They only needed to take a few steps forward, and they would be free, but Northmoon’s despicable voice rang out behind them. They gulped and turned around. “What’s the matter, sir?”
“You forgot your betrothal gifts!” Northmoon glanced at the pile of precious jewels and metals. E Feng’s group eased up inside and walked back over. Right when they were about to stow the mountainous pile of treasure away, they heard Northmoon say, “Wait, is this how you’re going to take it away?”
“Sir, how would you like us to take it away?”
Northmoon pointed at the pile of treasure with his chin. “Eat it!”
“What!?” E Feng exclaimed. How were they supposed to eat these gems and metals?
Northmoon smiled. “You have to eat the words you uttered, and you also have to eat the items you brought. I don’t even want to see a single sycee of silver remaining!”
PS: Woah! The dragon is so powerful! Congratulations to the envoy of the dragon, “?Precious Copernicium?”, for donating as much as three Alliance Heads, honorably elevated to Great Alliance Head and making my wish come true. Alright, I can’t go without expressing my gratitude. You know already, but I’m not made for things like mass releases and so on, but we will return to the “8 am, 6 pm” release schedule tomorrow!
Chapter 612: Eat It | Legend of the Great Sage
Qiu Haitang immediately revealed an enchanting smile. She agreed and said, “Good idea!”
E Feng’s expression twisted. His forehead bulged with veins. “Northmoon, don’t go too far with the harassment!”
“Don’t go too far with the harassment? Are you talking about me?” Northmoon asked Qiu Haitang beside him, “Do you think I’m harassing them?”
“Of course not!”
“Then I’ll get a little more serious with the harrassing. Eat it!”
Northmoon picked up a golden sycee and tossed it out casually. The mirror clone only possessed a portion of his power, but the strength of the ox demon was still terrifying despite the reduction.
The golden sycee contorted the moment he threw it out, turning into a streak of golden light and striking a cultivator in black’s protective arcane artifact before piercing through his body.
The cultivator in black lowered his head in disbelief and gazed at the hole through his chest. He let out a high-pitched cry, which was better described as out of fear than out of pain. He was not afraid of fighting others, but the feeling where he could be casually crushed had completely sapped his courage.
The golden sycee flew off into the distance, and only then did the sharp whistle arrive. Fierce wind rushed through the rooftop, and the expressions of all the cultivators changed. A single golden sycee could become a terrifying, lethal weapon in Northmoon’s hands. He could butcher Foundation Establishment cultivators like how he butchered chickens.
“We’ll go all out on him!” E Feng bellowed out, but there was not even a hint of confidence in his voice.
“Looks like you won’t eat all of this obediently. All I can do is help you out.”
A pair of beautiful, flame wings suddenly unfurled on his back. In the eyes of the spectators, he split into five in that moment, appearing beside E Feng and each of the four cultivators in black. Each figure only launched a single strike, either a convenient pat or a gentle poke.
The five cultivators in black who had leapt up to throw their lives at him all collapsed on the ground, but they were completely unscathed. Northmoon had only suppressed their spiritual qi and bodies with the power of the spirit turtle. All of them widened their eyes, completely immobilised. Their arcane artifacts and hundred treasures pouches had been taken away during the process.
E Feng was paralysed on the ground. “It’s our misfortune to end up in your hands today. If you want to kill or cut us up, go ahead!”
Northmoon praised them. “Alright! I admire men like you. I won’t kill you, nor will I cut you up. I just want you to eat!” He lifted up the wings of flames on his back, and the pile of precious gems and metals immediately melted away, hovering in the air and fluctuating around.
