“Ma, ma. (1) Relax, this demonic path is actually just a different way of cultivating! The basics aren’t too different either! They don’t eat people…” Right? His voice lowered and bit down the unheard word.
(1)- It’s like the Japanese thing where Ma means “well…”. In Naruto it’s used often I think.
Little Ding looked at Tongtong’s bright eyes. It was no good to say “I have no idea.” So irresponsible! Little Ding faked a smile and quickly diverted the topic.
“Ah, you don’t know who saved you!”
As he said this, Little Ding wanted to bite his tongue off. “F**k! I forgot that Fairy(2) Master Ye told me the ice-cold rock-mountain (3) didn’t want Tongtong to know he saved her…”
(2)- Fairy = High ranking female cultivator. Not sure how to translate this into one word without it sounding non-cultivating.
(3)- A nickname for a person. Not an actual mountain!
Tongtong shook her head and looked at him for the information. Little Ding could only continue to fake his smile and laugh stupidly.
“Ah… ahahahaha! Actually, I have no idea…”
“Are you fooling around with me? Are you stupid?” It was clearly written on the other side’s face.
Little Ding rubbed his nose awkwardly and replied, “About that, when I arrived, you were still lying unconscious on the bed… It was Master Fairy who called me to watch over you. She said that we probably came from the same place…”
The chances of transmigrating somewhere and meeting someone from the same country were very slim. Little Ding should’ve thanked the wind, rain, the sun, and the earth!
However, the possibility that Master Ding was a storybook protagonist was cut in half! He was very sullen.
“Uh, who is Master Fairy?” Tongtong was curious about this individual mentioned by Little Ding so many times.
“Oh! About Master Fairy, she’s this little master’s superior!” He brought his hands together and tilted his head as if he was intoxicated.
“She sits firmly in Chonghua Sect’s leader chair- the best cultivator in this cultivational world, best known as the perfect idol Immortal Ye, who is the master of Dao-Seeking(4)!”
(4)- Originally Google TL turned it into Mahayana- fortunately I found a website about Xian-Xia genre terms!
As he talked about her, Little Ding’s face was more vibrant than fangirls at a concert. His mouth drooled a little bit. However, seeing Tongtong’s blank eyes, he hastily informed her; “In this world, everything is in stages. From the lowest level to the highest level, they are Qi-Refining, Foundation-Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Dao Seeking, Immortal Ascension. I’m not sure of the higher stages. Every stage has a middle level and a high level, but it’s not easy to advance to the next level! As for Fairy Master, it’s clear that with her power she’s at the Dao Seeking stage, but after that, she will become a true Immortal! However, this cultivation path is very long- to become an immortal, it’ll probably take tens and thousands of years!” As Little Ding thought about it, his excitement began to collapse.
“About Master Ding’s qualifications… I actually practiced for 20 years just to breach the last stage of Qi Refining… It really is a pain; this world is so unfair!”
“Wow… then do you have a cloud mount?” Tongtong looked at him, developing some doubts.
“Of course… not.”
Feeling ashamed and embarrassed after admitting it, Little Ding coughed lightly and added, “But after my foundation is complete, I will have the power to move the sky, shift my hands over and create clouds. Even covering my hands will create rain! By then, those things will be like small nuisances!”
Tongtong, enraptured by the tone of his voice, dreamed of waving her hands and casting lightning bolts. She grabbed Little Ding’s sleeve and pleaded, “Master Ding, I want to become a student too!”
“Of course you can learn under a master… but—” Little Ding used quite a lot of his strength to release Tongtong’s hand from his sleeve to smooth out all the wrinkles. When he looked up, he met her pitiful gaze- even though he knew it was fake, it still made his strong male heart go Doki-Doki. “You know that countries have their laws and families have their rules… and this Chonghua sect has very strict rules. You can’t just enter at any time, right?”
Tongtong’s eyes dimmed. To cheer her up, Little Ding said, “because we’re both fellow countrymen… actually, according to Master’s meaning, we’ll make an exception with you. You can start with the green-clothed disciples- you only need to cultivate to be able to control your Qi in one year and grasp the basics of the sword way. After that, Master will definitely accept you as her disciple!”
Then, using a “you’ve grasped the best deal” gaze, he crowed, “The Chonghua Sect, in this entire cultivational world has only accepted a few disciples- so rare!”
As Tongtong suddenly understood what was going to happen, Little Ding patted her shoulder.
“Little girl, right now you have one foot in the proper path: if you open the back door that this Master has shown you, then you will be where you belong- one with the wind, whose excitement stirs up the tide, making trouble and spilling blood…”
“Stop stop stop! Stop please Master Ding, I don’t want to be a female demon, don’t say stuff like that!”
Tongtong’s face smiled, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear; “When I hear you say this, I know there is little hope of returning home. It’s better to live here faithfully… Soon I will have nothing to worry about. My little brother at home can take care of my parents, and my non-existent boyfriend can stay in the sky(5)… I will strive for early success in Qi-Refining so the Master can accept me!”
(5)- Her future boyfriend doesn’t have to meet her.
“Ha, you have ambition and optimism. Young Master is proud of you!”
Little Ding saw Tongtong smile, completely free of the worries before, and laughed heartily, pounding his chest with a “Peng Peng”.
“No worries, in this Chonghua Sect, you only need to call this Master’s real name. We can walk together, that way no one dares offend you!”
After thinking for a while, Little Ding quietly whispered, “let’s try to lay low for now! Don’t aggravate anyone at any time! In this Chonghua Sect, there are many powerful cultivators, not even this Master dares provoke…”
“Emm… Master Ding is so powerful, but there are still people who don’t buy it?” Tongtong didn’t see Little Ding listening to her flattery, and then asked innocently, “What kind of cultivators? If I see them, I will definitely avoid them!”
“Ai! To be honest, except for the leaders and the senior elders, the most capable of beating you halfway to hell is the frigid, ice-cold, bloodless and ruthless is the Frozen Mountain Senior brother! What he has done would take three days and three nights to finish talking… Anyone who provoked him returned with their color changed… if they saw his face they would start to cry…”
Under Little Ding’s muttering, Tongtong could not stand it and gulped subconsciously.
“So… so horrible… About this absolutely-cannot-provoke senior brother, what’s his name?
Already in her heart, she was determined to avoid this person with a radius of ten kilometers!
Little Ding slowed his breath and picked up his teacup elegantly to parch his throat. Just as he was about to answer, a clear and low voice emitted from the doorway-
“My name is Su Yan.”
Ka-POOSH!
The effect was instantaneous; Little Ding spat out half the tea in his mouth as if to disrespect the silk carpet underneath his feet while the other half of his tea went the wrong way down his throat. He couldn’t swallow or cough, and tears almost came out as he choked.
Tongtong had jumped into the air once she heard the noise, and was even more scared by Little Ding’s reaction! Slowly, she turned to face the “Su Yan” little by little, like a horror movie’s doll turning its head to scare off the protagonist, creating a “Kk-kk-kkkkk—” sound.
However, with one glance, she was stunned on the spot– eyebrows like Yuandai(6), lips like Danzhu(7), sharp and narrow shoulders, waist like Yuesu… No one in this world could compete against perfection.
(6)+(7)- I don’t know how to translate this into English. It’s basically saying her/his facial features were super pretty and feminine.
If anyone wanted to use an analogy for “love at first sight”, this was obviously it.
This author has something to say: I’m in love with this Senior Brother~~ When you analyze the two girl’s temper, there is almost no difference =_=
This translator has something to say as well:
Hi! I’m sorry if this chapter doesn’t sound typical Chinese-xian-xia webnovel like! That may be because I procrastinated until yesterday and couldn’t find my original editor to help me.
The two temporary editors don’t have much experience in Chinese webnovel styles; apologizes for anything choppy or anything non-cultivational sounding!
