Ch70 - Papaya Flavored Senior Brother Gong (8)

Translator: KunLin

Editors: Vez, Blarghette

I translated Gou Liang’s nickname as “Little Fool” but yeah that isn’t going to fit in some scenarios anymore so, for lack of better options, “Little Fool” is going to be “Xiao Keng’er” from here on forward. It’ll also be changed in previous chapters…

As foreseen, once Pavilion Master Ye and Tower Master Tang moved into the Southern Mountains and refused to leave, Gou Liang gained extra surveillance by his side.

Two days later, the Northern Sword Sect that was the furthest away came knocking with their wives, daughters, sons-in-law, and upcoming talents, drawing even more attention to the Martial Arts Conference.

On the day of the conference, amidst the sounds of the lively drums, Gou Liang overheard people placing down bets.

He looked over and saw that someone had set up a gambling joint.

Yue Qian explained to him, “That’s part of Baixiao Tower’s business. The odds are quite high though, do you want to play?”

Gou Liang was disinterested, “It’s not like you’re the one on stage. What do the victories or losses of other people have to do with me?”

Yue Qian grinned.

His name wasn’t on the list of participants this year, which had surprised everyone. Taking Yue Qian’s age into account, even if he participated in the Martial Arts Conference two more times, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. But with his current strength, these youths around thirty or less weren’t even in the same league as him—even at full strength, Sect Master Si Tu would be hard-pressed to win over his disciple, let alone these people.

Even Si Tu Zhang Tian who was obsessed with boasting about his disciple, restrained himself today. After all, showing the tip of one’s edge was good, but to overly do so would be harmful.

Zhu Fengyi felt that it was a pity, “I wanted to seek pointers from Junior Brother Yue, but it seems like that wish won’t be granted.”

For someone like him who was over 25, this would be his last time participating in the Martial Arts Conference.

He Cong had already reached the age limit and was more broad-minded, “If you want to ask for pointers, just ask directly. Could it be that our Junior Brother would reject us? You know what, let’s challenge him to a duel after this match is over! We don’t need a grand stage like the wilderness or the desert, so how about the Southern Moutain’s rocky peak?”

The Head Disciples of other sects caught wind of this and joined in as well, and Yue Qian as one of the hosts naturally offered his cooperation.

The matches started with the youngest contestants, though not everyone could be like Yue Qian from 5 years ago who went up first but slaughtered a path to the finals and snatched up the championship. The abilities of the youths here were limited.

They were neither full of useless, flowery moves, nor were they provocative. Although each of them was earnest and full of courtesy, their performances made one yawn.

On the side, Gou Liang ate melon seeds, gnawing and gnawing until he fell asleep on Yue Qian’s arm.

On the first day, a little guy’s sword accidentally flew towards him. He had already woken up and noted it down when he saw Yue Qian fling the sword away with a dark expression.

Then, in the following days, though similar incidents continued, he never woke up. In the beginning, his body still tensed subconsciously, but towards the end, he was able to sleep like the dead and slept through even the drums.

—He was trying his best to completely trust and rely on Yue Qian.

Yue Qian noticed this and was deeply moved.

The scene of Gou Liang sleeping had become an attraction of the Martial Arts Conference. Especially after Bai Xiaosheng had spread rumors about the beauty’s identity and appearance, people grew even more curious.

But they never got a chance to glimpse at Gou Liang’s sleeping visage.

Yue Qian would promptly take out his folding fan and block the sunlight for Gou Liang, but by doing so, he also blocked Gou Liang’s beautiful appearance.

Finally, Gou Liang really couldn’t sleep anymore. Today he said he would take a stroll around and return later.

Yue Qian waited for a long time, but he still didn’t come back. He went out to find him and saw the other was hiding behind a fake mountain with a cold expression, so focused that he didn’t even notice his presence.

Yue Qian furrowed his brows and listened intently.

Not far away from the fake mountain, inside a pavilion, the wife of the Northern Sword Sect’s Sect Master and Pavilion Master Ye were talking.

Outsiders thought that since their eldest son Ye Yu had died indirectly because of Xia Xinya, the Ye and Xia Family would be irreconcilable. But in truth, the two women’s bonds were deep.

At this moment, Madam Xia was saying, “If it weren’t for that incident, Ya’er and Ye Gui would’ve wed seven years ago and by now their children would’ve been able to run and jump. But who would’ve thought that to fulfill the engagement between Ya’er and Ye Gui, Yu’er life would end up being harmed in the end…I really regret it.”

“The ones who killed my son are Bao Shi and Bao Jiu, you needn’t blame yourself. Bao Shi may be dead, but one day, I’ll personally kill Bao Jiu and avenge my son!”

“What is it?”

“I remember that Ye Gui had a unique birthmark on the back of the shoulder. It’s pale in the center and dark on the outside, just like the shape of a cave.”

Pavilion Master Ye began contemplating on a way to see the birthmark. Moments after, someone came asking for Madam Xia and the two people parted ways.

Yue Qian walked over. His tall shadow cast over Gou Liang and he asked, “You still remember your engagement with Xia Xinya. That was why you appeared at Mo Xie Valley that day. You wanted to stop the wedding, am I right?”

Nothing could be told from his tone, but that in itself was the biggest flag.

Gou Liang was still thinking about the two’s conversation. His hands were behind his back and he was ruminating when he heard Yue Qian speak. He put down his hands, and said coldly, “So what?”

Yue Qian clenched his fists, “Do you care about Xia Xinya?”

Even while he was being chased by the Left Guardian, he risked going to Mo Xie Valley, all for the sake of seeing Xia Xinya? Did he love that surnamed Xia?

“Are you interrogating me?”

When Gou Liang’s cold gaze stared into the depths of his eyes with frigidness like a still, ancient well, making Yue Qian’s heart skip a beat as he denied, “I’m not…nevermind, it’s all in the past, she is already the daughter-in-law of the Mo Family and has nothing to do with you anymore.”

But Gou Liang said, “But from the looks of it, she’s still a virgin. I suspect that Mo Guanju had a certain place slashed off but is too embarrassed to make it known, so he never consummated the marriage—”

“You’ve been paying so much attention to her?!” Yue Qian bellowed in anger, “Even so, you are now my wife-to-be and have nothing to do with her anymore!”

His words were harsh, but Gou Liang for some reason smiled.

When Yue Qian came to himself, he instantly regretted his despicable attitude just now, but Gou Liang hugged his waist, “Hero Yue was so imposing just now—but I like it.”

Yue Qian was both helpless and relieved upon seeing him act this way. He hugged him back and asked stiffly, “Were you planning on revealing your identity to her that day? Were you going to marry her?”

Gou Liang laughed and said in a mocking, disdainful tone, “What is she counted as? I was merely curious about her beauty. Two of her husbands had died in a row, but there’s still someone who can’t forget about her. But I was disappointed in the end, she was ugly to death and isn’t half as good-looking as you are.”

Yue Qian smiled, “Since you said so, I’ll believe you.”

“You still dare to doubt me?”

Gou Liang pinched Yue Qian’s waist and mocked, “Just now, there was an overwhelming scent of vinegar. Hero Yue, did you smell it?”

Yue Qian didn’t deny it, “I won’t let anyone put their surname before your name.”

“Except you?”

“En, except me.”

Gou Liang smiled, kissed him then said, “Take a look at my back, do I really have the birthmark she speaks of?”

Yue Qian loosened his collar ever-so-slightly and glanced at his back. Sure enough, there was a birthmark, but it was much prettier than Madam Xia’s description. He lowered his head, pressed his lips on it, licking it with his scalding tongue. Gou Liang trembled and his heart itched. He turned around and joked, “If I scream for help right now, would a lecher like you be thrown out from your sect?”

Yue Qian took a mile when given an inch. From Gou Liang’s back to his neck, Yue Qian left a trail of kisses, bit his earlobe, and said hoarsely, “How is it their business if I’m being affectionate with my wife?”

Gou Liang glared at him. This guy was becoming more and more shameless. He pulled his clothes back into a proper state and asked him about the birthmark.

Yue Qian hugged him from behind and kissed the dimple on his left cheek, “Her description is obviously wrong, the shape is more like…one of your dimples.”

“Huh?”

Gou Liang was a bit surprised and reached back to touch his birthmark that was still damp.

Yue Qian lowered his head, kissing Gou Liang’s fingers then kissing his dimples again. He just couldn’t get enough of kissing him. He sighed, “Xiao Keng’er, you’re so…pretty.”

Gou Liang’s heart softened, he leaned over to kiss him. When he felt something hard poking his back, he couldn’t resist grinding it with his butt. Yue Qian gasped, grabbed Gou Liang’s waist to keep him from moving, and kissed him feverishly. But Gou Liang refused to stay still and reached out, grabbing that place. Yue Qian loved and hated clearly, Gou Liang knew that based on his true favorability value towards him, the taste of his soul force must be out of the world—

Yue Qian trembled all over. He suddenly seized Gou Liang’s hands and turned him around.

Gou Liang’s hands were bound above his head. Yue Qian encircled his waist, pressed him against the fake mountain, and gave him a deep, forcible kiss.

“Wu…Yue Qian…”

He was drunk on the dense, full-bodied flavor of papaya.

The appearance of Gou Liang being at his mercy made Yue Qian’s heart quake violently. It was as if there was a ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles in his heart. He became increasingly excited, kissing more urgently, and he lingered on Gou Liang’s neck, “Yue Gui, Ye Gui…”

“Don’t call me that…en…I want to hear something else.”

“Xiao Keng’er.”

Yue Qian reflexively called out that name, as if it had been branded in his heart long ago.

A layer of mist appeared in Gou Liang’s eyes. He kissed Yue Qian’s lips, exchanging kisses with him in a gentle but passionate manner, their tongues intertwining, the two wholly immersed in their private battle. Yue Qian’s palms were burning. Like he was possessed, he inched closer and closer yet. He couldn’t resist anymore. He placed his hands on the soft buttocks, hesitated momentarily, then kneaded them unscrupulously.

“Ah, Yue Qian…”

“Xiao Keng’er, I can’t hold back.”

He sealed Gou Liang’s lips once more. The other could only gasp spasmodically without a chance to refuse his rough attacks.

【Ding, the mission progress bar has increased. Current completion rate: 3%!】

—In the distance, Si Tushuang covered her mouth and ran away, her figure tormented.

When the Martial Arts Competition was halfway through, Gou Liang’s interest was finally piqued.

On the stage was Fan Yin Pavilion versus the Northern Sword Sect. One person held a zither and the other held a sword. Sword qi and sound waves clashed, creating gusts of wind. As the sound of the zither grew faster and faster, some young disciples underneath the stage with a shallow internal force felt dizzy and their ears rang, but the opponent on the stage remained composed and began attacking even more fiercely—

Gou Liang was watching with interest when someone suddenly blocked his view.

Seeing it was Si Tushuang, he changed his cold expression, but before he could speak, Si Tushuang glowered at Yue Qian and chided, “You, why were you so careless!”

Huh?

Gou Liang and Yue Qian were bewildered. Even Si Tubai and the others looked over.

Si Tushuang glared at Yue Qian. Gou Liang wanted to ask Yue Qian what sort of shock the little girl had received to be acting so confused. Actually, speaking of it, he had caught her peeking at them constantly in the past few days. Originally he thought she was looking at Yue Qian, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. To his surprise, Si Tushuang grabbed his hand and said, full of anxiousness and concern, “Ye jiejie, no, sister-in-law, you can’t stay here anymore, quickly, come with me!”

Huh???

Gou Liang: “Yue Qian—”

Si Tushuang dragged him away without any further explanation. Yue Qian initially wanted to stop them, but for some reason, he silently sat back down again.

Gou Liang followed Si Tushuang into the inner courtyard. Si Tushuang made her sit down then asked, “Sister-in-law, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Gou Liang rubbed his neck that Si Tushuang was staring holes into, not understanding what she was getting to.

Si Tushuang’s eyes were suddenly glazed with tears, she held his hand, “Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid, you’ll definitely be fine.”

Gou Liang: “…Lass, are you sick?”

Si Tushuang shook her head, and said determinedly, “I’m fine. In the future, I’ll definitely take good care of you, sister-in-law!”

Saying this, she took out a bottle of medicine, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into Gou Liang’s hand, “Sister-in-law, eat this first, I’ll go pour you some water.”

Perplexed, Gou Liang placed the pill under his nose and smelled it. Then—

His entire face ossified.

Grabbing Si Tushuang, Gou Liang asked icily, “Who gave you this medicine?”

Si Tushuang’s said with red eyes, “Sister-in-law, I went down the mountain and secretly gathered a few physicians to have them make this. It’s very effective, so rest assured and eat it.”

“So,” Gou Liang breathed in deeply, gnashing his teeth, “Why do I have to take! A! Fetus! Nourishing! Pill!!”

Since he had already seen through her, Si Tushuang didn’t hide it anymore, “Sister-in-law, I saw everything that day. Senior Brother that bastard, you’re already…but he still did those things to you! He’s even worse than a beast!”

Si Tushuang’s own mother died because she accidentally got pregnant with her despite her weak body, then her condition worsened during the postnatal period and she ended up passing away early.

Of course, no one mentioned this in front of Si Tushuang, but Si Tushuang was perceptive and discovered the truth on her own. Right now, however much she was distressed and worried for Gou Liang was how angry she was at Yue Qian.

Gou Liang also knew that she had seen him and Yue Qian kissing behind the fake mountain that day, but—“What does that have to do with you feeding me a Fetus Nourishing Pill?!”

Si Tushuang said, “Sister-in-law, relax, I know everything. According to the doctor, your drowsiness these past few days is a sure sign of pregnancy—”

Gou Liang clenched his hand and the pill was crushed into smithereens by him.

Si Tushuang saw his gaze fixed on her with murderous intent and froze, unable to remember what she was going to say next.

Gou Liang breathed in deeply, then breathed in deeply again—but in the end, he couldn’t hold it in and exploded!

“Yue! Qian!!!”

He bellowed and faraway, Yue Qian at the Martial Arts Conference trembled. With a speed fast beyond the naked eye, he raced towards the inner courtyard in a frenzy!

Si Tu Zhang Tian and the other Sect Masters naturally heard the shout as well with their profound internal forces. But none of them would leave the scene at the moment, so Si Tu Zhang Tian, faced with the other Sect Master’s inquisitive gazes, glanced at his son, signaling for him to go and take a look at the situation.

“Xiao Keng’er!”

Yue Qian flung the door open, but before he would get any closer, Gou Liang kicked him on the knee!

Gou Liang’s entire person was provoked, “You, right now, asap, pronto, take this stinky lass and keep her out of my sight for 3, no, 5 days! Otherwise, I’ll turn her into roasted, steamed, and boiled dishes and let her die with a sense of harmony!”

Yue Qian: “Xiao Keng’er, what happened—”

Gou Liang closed his eyes in great endurance, “If I open my eyes and she’s still there, I’ll throttle her!!!”

Yue Qian looked at Si Tushuang who was trembling and pale, then at Gou Liang whose entire body was shaking from anger, and he was filled with worry. He threw Si Tushuang’s hand to Si Tubai who tagged behind like a tail and had only just arrived, saying, “Take her away!”

He then hurriedly hugged Gou Liang, “What’s wrong, was it something she said? Xiao Keng’er, don’t be mad, tell me and I’ll punish her!”

Gou Liang bit Yue Qian’s chest and ground his teeth on it to vent his anger.

—If there’s a girl that can become pregnant from kissing, why don’t she directly ascend to Heaven!!

Meanwhile, Si Tubai only stopped once he arrived at the bottom of the southern mountain with his younger sister. He could finally breathe easy, “Aiyo, my little ancestor, don’t cry anymore. You…how did you offend Miss Ye?!”

“I, I only meant well…”

Si Tushuang sobbed.

Her mental state was especially vulnerable right now, so she confessed everything to her elder brother—how she had stumbled upon Senior Brother’s beastly behavior, how she confirmed that Gou Liang was pregnant with a baby, how she worried that the sound attacks would harm the fetus, and how she urged Gou Liang to take the Fetus Nourishing Pill…

Si Tubai: “…”

Si Tubai breathed in deeply, “Sis, this is as far as ge can help you. Just pray for the best ba.”

Si Tushuang saw that he was about to leave and pounced on him, sobbing, “Ge!”

Si Tubai: …I want to cry too, I might be k-k-killed for knowing too much!

Not long after, Yue Qian heard everything from Si Tubai and was silent for a while before saying, “This matter, did you tell a fifth person?”

Si Tubai shook his head like a rattle.

Yue Qian breathed out and said with a heavy expression, “Do something about junior sister’s mouth. Not another person can find out about this, not even Master. Otherwise…Ye Gui may not kill anyone, but he has ways to make life worse than death.”

Si Tubai shuddered and nodded like a pestle crushing garlic.

Yue Qian walked out of the room and finally couldn’t hide his smile anymore. To anger Xiao Keng’er to this extent, his junior sister is truly…astounding once she made a move.
