Chapter 32
[Chapter 32 - The nine pearls] I just want it!
Looking at him fuming with a reddened face, Qin Shao Yu felt that he was rather cute, and thus laughed very viciously . Shen Xiao Shou felt a burst of anger, how could there be such a shameless person; even if Qin Shao Yu didn’t feel guilty, was it really necessary for him to laugh .
And so the peasant started a revolt, kicking leader Qin out of the bed, “Tonight you’ll sleep on the floor . ”
“You won’t get angry as long as I sleep on the floor?” Qin Shao Yu asked .
Shen Qian Ling huffed, “Not necessarily . ” My anger can last a very long time sometimes .
“What don’t I take you out to play instead?” Qin Shao Yu kneeled by the bedside .
“Not going . ” Shen Qian Ling stepped on Qin Shao Yu’s face .
Qin Shao Yu said patiently, “There’s many interesting things to see . ”
“What can even be seen at this time?” Shen Qian Ling was very doubtful of him; such a thing like running out in the middle of the night, it’s obviously with evil intentions . Could it be that you still have the habit of eavesdropping? If that’s true, then you are basically a violent and perverted superman .
“You’ll regret it if you don’t see it . ” Qin Shao Yu sat beside the bed, “ And if it’s not nice, you can continue being angry when you return . ”
“ . . . . . . ” Shen Qian Ling paused .
Qin Shao Yu helped him get dressed .
Shen Qian Ling spoke angrily, “This is your only chance . ”
“Yes . ” Qin Shao Yu spoke seriously, “That’s why I will properly cherish this opportunity . ”
“Are we going to steal some martial arts secrets?” Shen Qian Ling let his imagination run wild .
“Do I look like the type of person who would do such a despicable thing?” Qin Shao Yu expressed disdain .
“You don’t look like them, you clearly are them . ” Shen Xiao Shou rubbed his red aching butt, resentment increasing in his eyes .
“Shall I help you apply some medicine?” Qin Shao Yu held in his laughter .
Dream on! Shen Qian Ling bent over to put on his shoes, do you think you can look at my butt just because you want to .
You’re really just a caveman .
After the two had dressed, they jumped over the inn’s courtyard wall . The subordinate who was in charge of keeping watch sighed upon seeing it, leader and fu-ren are truly the embodiment of marital affection . It wasn’t enough to linger in the inn, they had to go as far as running out in the middle of the night .
Could it be that they want to do it in the wild?
This kind of situation cannot be thought of closely .
“Going out of the city?” Shen Qian Ling thought that their direction wasn’t quite right .
“There’s good scenery only outside the city . ” Qin Shao Yu replied .
“Scenery?” Shen Qian Ling’s eyes widened, “Like flowers and plants?”
Qin Shao Yu nodded, “Not far off . ”
And you say that you are not ill . Shen Xiao Shou decided firmly that he wanted to turn around and go back——what kind of scenery do you look at in the middle of the night; snuggling in with a blanket and sleeping is much more enjoyable .
“Why are you getting regrets halfway through the journey . ” Qin Shao Yu stretched out an arm and pulled him back .
“You didn’t tell me before that we were going to look at scenery . ” Shen Qian Ling protested .
“Then what did you think I was bringing you out to look at?” Qin Shao Yu thought it was quite funny .
Shen Qian Ling spoke bluntly, “A tryst . ”
Qin Shao Yu: “ . . . . . . ”
“At the very least, there must be some excitement right?” Shen Qian Ling yawned, “What is looking at scenery good for . ”
“Then after looking at scenery I’ll bring you to look at an affair . ” The warrior
Qin Shao Yu pulled him forwards .
“Let me go back……” Shen Qian Ling grabbed onto a tree with one hand .
Qin Shao Yu simply just wrapped an arm around his waist and picked him up, moving swiftly forward .
This asshole…… Shen Xiao Shou wanted to cry, if you want to carry me, then carry me properly, don’t just randomly pick me up and throw me over your shoulders, my stomach hurts!
After a while, Qin Shao Yu landed steadily on the ground and put him down .
“Cough cough . ” Shen Qian Ling’s face was stifled to redness . He held onto a pillar and panted for half a day .
Qin Shao Yu calmly looked upwards . Alright, it was really a bit too rushed just now, so I didn’t properly adjust my position .
“I must cut off contact with you . ” Shen Qian Ling was angry, but had no energy to do what he wanted .
Qin Shao Yu knew that he was in the wrong, and reached out to pat his back .
“What the hell is this place . ” A gust of wind blew past; Shen Qian Ling was so cold that he trembled .
“The Tower which Picks Stars . ” Qin Shao Yu helped him fix his hair .
Shen Qian Ling looked down around him, and with a ‘pa’ sound, sat on the ground——his legs had turned to jelly .
“What happened?” Qin Shao Yu was startled .
“Hurry up and bring me back down . ” Shen Qian Ling’s face turned white, I’m scared of heights ah! What kind of magical tower is this . Having a building as tall as a bamboo pole in such ancient times is not rational!
“There’s nothing to be scared of . ” Qin Shao Yu helped him up, “With me around, you won’t fall down . ”
Shen Qian Ling rushed into his chest, even if he died . he wouldn’t be willing to open his eyes .

“Don’t be scared . ” Qin Shao Yu patted his back, “Dominion of Chasing Shadows is on a dangerous peak, you have to slowly get used to it before we return . ”
“Who said I would return with you . ” Shen Qian Ling roared, “After I go to the South Sea I’ll return to the Sun-Moon Hamlet . Hurry up and bring me back down . ”
Qin Shao Yu frowned upon hearing it, and still wanted to say something, but Shen Qian Ling had already begun trembling all over .
What kind of illness is this ah…… Qin Shao Yu sighed in his heart, picking Shen Qian Ling up before jumping back down to the ground .
Shen Qian Ling crouched down and hugged his knees for a full five minutes before he managed to barely calm down .
“Are you okay?” Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheeks .
Shen Qian Ling moved away to avoid his hands, obviously still angry .
“Why would I let you fall . ” Qin Shao Yu helped him wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, “Why are you afraid of heights?”
Shen Qian Ling stood up in a huff, “I want to go home . ”
I must have eaten the wrong medicine to have agreed to follow you out in the middle of the night .
Qin Shao Yu pinched his chin, and gently turned his head to the left .
This time, the two of them were standing on a hill, and as they turned their heads, they could see boundless fields of pink and purple flowers; under the bright moonlight, it was as if they were covered in a silver halo, the swaying wind brought the strong scent of the flowers as if it were a silent wave, quiet and beautiful .
Looking at this endless ocean of flowers, Shen Qian Ling was rather surprised .
“If we stand on top of the tall tower, we can see even further . ” Qin Shao Yu spoke by his ears, “But it’s not too bad from here . ”
“ . . . . . . what are men doing, looking at flowers . ” Shen Qian Ling snorted .
“Aside from flowers, there are also other things to look at . ” Qin Shao Yu laughed softly and picked up a broken stone from the ground; he concentrated his internal strength and threw it far away .
In a split second, a swarm of fireflies soared into the air, fluttering gently, interweaving with one another and flickering among the light and shadows, creating an illusion better than a dream .
Shen Qian Ling’s eyes were full of surprises, other than appearing on screen from computer effects, this scene could actually happen in real life .
“Not angry anymore?” Qin Shao Yu asked .
“I’m still angry . ” Shen Qian Ling was very principled .
“If you’re not angry anymore, then I’ll bring you into the flower fields . ” Qin Shao Yu gave him a compromise .
Shen Qian Ling weighed the matter in his heart .
“Even if you wish to return to Sun-Moon Hamlet, it’ll still take a year and a half to reach the South Sea . ” Qin Shao Yu said, “So why don’t we get along peacefully?”
“Then you can’t hit me anymore . ” Shen Xiao Shou was very hung up about this matter .
Qin Shao Yu nodded, “If you are obedient and don’t cause trouble, I won’t hit you . ”
“Even if I cause trouble, you still can’t hit me . ” Shen Qian Ling grasped his face, “A gentlemen uses words, not actions; only barbarians like to fight . We must live in harmony and with reason . ”

Qin Shao Yu tried not to laugh, “That’s fine . ”
“You can’t take me to that kind of place on a whim anymore . ” Shen Qian Ling reached out, pointing to the tall bamboo tower at the side .
It’s seriously terrifying .
“Yes . ” Qin Shao Yu agreed readily .
“ You have to give me prior notice before flying around here and there . ”
“Alright . ”
“Tomorrow morning I want to eat Yangchun noodles with chili oil and xiaolongbao . ”
“Alright . ”
“Yao Qian keeps snorting at me . ”
“I’ll help you beat him up . ”
“Fan Yan often yells fu-ren behind my back suddenly . ”
“I’ll beat him and Yao Qian up . ”
“Sister Hua Tang is very good . ”
“Yes, I’ll find an opportunity to promote her . ”
This warrior, you really are magnanimous ah, Shen Xiao Shou was extremely moved .
“So can we leave now?” Qin Shao Yu reached over to him, the corner of his mouth raised up in a very handsome curve .
Shen Qian Ling walked past him without a glance, not giving him any face at all .
The silver moonlight poured down in torrents; on a small path in the field, two figures played around, one chasing and the other running, going towards the sea of flowers .
“Incredible . ” Far in the treetops above, the guards shed tears while chewing on seeds; leader already knows what’s going to happen once he makes his move, his skill is certainly out of the ordinary .
Holding hands, looking at flowers in the middle of the night; was there anything more perfect .
“If anyone else knows about this, imagine what could happen . ” Guard A clicked his tongue .
“I think, this sea of flowers would probably get flattened by people’s feet . ” Guard B went along with it .
“What don’t we sell this information to a storyteller?” Guard C suggested, “It’s definitely worth a lot of money . ”
“While this idea is good, wouldn’t sect leader be angry once he knows of it?”

“It doesn’t have to be us who are the ones who revealed it . ”
“Then who else do you think will do this?”
“ . . . . . . ”
At this point, the subordinates looked towards the big tree on the other side as one - the guards of the Sun-Moon Hamlet were over there . They have been especially serious on the whole of this journey, keeping a scowl all the while to avoid people from seeking them out for a chat .
“If we say that they did it, would sect leader believe us?”
“Who would believe that, unless sect leader is as dumb as fu-ren . ”
“I’ll say, how are the people from the Sun-Moon Hamlet so boring, with a blank expression on their faces all day long . ”
"Exactly, it’s not like we are going to borrow money from them . ”
“Not willing to even say what their names are, it couldn’t be that their names are really that bad?”
… . . .
At the same time, while these subordinates were chatting up a storm, Shen Qian Ling and Qin Shao Yu were wandering in the flower fields - an excellent scene from a honeymoon .
“You still haven’t told me about that book yet . ” Shen Qian Ling kept thinking about this matter, “What’s with the nine pearls?”
“It’s just a legend . ” Qin Shao Yu spoke, “Snow Glass Pearl, Bi Lu Tong, Blue Crystal Jade, Scarlet Flame Stone, Golden Eye, Bluestone Pomegranate, Purple Phoenix Blood, Vermillion Dawn Bead and Black Kingfisher, all of them are the spiritual stones from the time of the great floods and desolation(1); these are the nine heavenly pearls; afterward, they were scattered all over the land because of a calamity; in the book are simply some stories about these nine spiritual stones . ”
“What happens after all of them are gathered together?” Shen Qian Ling asked .
“Who knows, perhaps it will summon an ancient dragon? Qin Shao Yu burst out laughing .
Shen Qian Ling: “ . . . . . . ”
This warrior, don’t make wild guesses that sound like plot of manhua so easily, alright? It really makes me feel that I have time travelled .
“You and the spiritual stones can be considered to be brought together by fate too; somehow you obtained two of them by accident . ” Qin Shao Yu tightened his collar, “Are you cold? If you are then we’ll go back . ”
“Where are the rest of beads?” Although it still wasn’t clear for him, but Shen Qian Ling had a vague premonition that these pearls should be related to his transmigration .
“The records in the book are not that clear anymore . ” Qin Shao Yu spoke, “I only know that the Scarlet Flame Stone is in the Qionghua Valley and the Golden Eye is in the Qianwu Water Village, are you interested in them?
Shen Qian Ling nodded firmly .
“Reason?” Qin Shao Yu rubbed Shen Qian Ling’s head .
Because I want to travel back to my time! Shen Qian Ling roared passionately in his heart, then looked at him wide-eyed, and said youthfully, “Because I just want it……”
What a joke, he shouldn’t be this practised at the gimmick of seducing men alright . In order to enhance the effect, he dragged his words .
What a good scheme .
