Chapter 57-Jianfeng Bullying Part 2

Translated by Snowfall77

When Xia opened up the panel, she didn’t see anything different from before, except for a picture of her Liuli puppet before it’d transformed.

It took a minute for the system to respond: [A Self-Destruction Capability Has Been Added.]

“Huh?”

System: [Click On The Picture.]

Xia Ge jabbed the picture and it flipped, revealing the image of a shocking ashy-gray [Explosion].

The system explained: [If You Click One More Time, The Puppet Will Self-Destruct Via An Explosion. However, The Range And Power Of The Explosion Does Depend On The Puppet’s Rank.]

Xia Ge: “……to do this……oi, does the gray mean it’s out of range, and can’t be used right now?”

System: [Yes, The Puppet Does Have To Be Within Your Sense Range For This Capability To Be Used.]

Xia Ge: “Guess it’s not much use to me right now, then is it?”

She went quiet for a second before blinking and growing excited: “The little puppet I made can explode?! Would it be a powerful explosion? Would it be like a mini-nuke?”

System: [You Know What The Explosion Would Be Like If You Put A Firecracker In A Sealed Beverage Bottle? Your Puppet Explosion Would Be More Or Less Like That.]

Xia Ge: “……”

From a mini-nuke to a firecracker in a plastic bottle? The two weren’t even close in scope! The system definitely needed a bigger brain hole.

System: [What? Even With A Low-Rank Puppet, You Can Still Hope To Change The Color Of The Sky.]

Xia Ge’s face was wooden.

Alright, alright, please stop talking.

The update was essentially useless. Nothing but a waste, wasn’t it?

After she finished eating all her steamed buns, Xia Ge actually did feel much better. The weakness due to her injuries was slowly waning, her body starting to feel some strength again.

And that gave her time to ponder something besides firecrackers and plastic bottles.

Such as discoveries made in the Lingxi ancestor’s tomb.

“Little puppet, didn’t you say before that if I found the Zhen Hun I could immediately upgrade?

System: [Yes.]

It was a little surprised by the question: [Have You Found Any Clues?]

Xia Ge’s lips curved in a slight smile: “I think I did, though I’m not completely sure. If your Jinjiang buns work like you promised, I should be able to get out of bed tomorrow, right?”

System: [You should……?]

Meanwhile at Jianfeng—

Jianfeng provided boarding to its inner disciples. Although Ye Ze really didn’t have many possessions to fill his room with, just some stacks of book and a few clothes.

The moon hung in the night sky, emanating silvery light. Carrying his last stack of books up the mountain, Ye Ze was surprised to have his way blocked.

“Aiyo……take a look at this.”

The gangster-like voice continued: “Is this the poor bastard sent over from Danfeng?”

“Hahaha, look at him still wearing that Danfeng hemp, haha. Why is he not wearing his white and red Danfeng outfit?”

“Aiya, I think differently. Perhaps he thinks because he’s entered Jianfeng, he’s become a noble son of Jianfeng. How could he wear those lowly Danfeng clothes?”

“Ha? What? Does he really think because he’s entered Jianfeng, he’s no longer a Danfeng dog? Hahahaha, oh, that’s stupid——”

“……”

The mountain road was rough, and clouds gradually obscured the pale luminescence of the moon. Ye Ze clutched his books, silently eyeing the 3 people who’d waylaid him with their chorus of arrogant jackassery.

Keeping his face expressionless, Ye Ze wordlessly made to walk over to the side. Unexpectedly, one of the other party callously kicked him——

“Ho, you’ve got a big face, huh? Don’t you hear it when your senior is talking to you?”

The kick had come fierce and accurate, landing right in Ye Ze’s stomach. Ye Ze’s books dropped first, then his body also fell down to the ground.

Ye Ze slowly picked himself up. In the dark night, stars and moon now hidden by heavy clouds, his eyes flickered with a cold light, though it was quickly concealed by the deep shadows. Going to pick up his books, his hand was stepped on.

“……”

The Jianfeng disciple who was pressing his foot down was short, with hard, gloomy eyes: “Did you think you’d be able to soar to the sky cause you’ve entered Jianfeng? Let me tell you, you little bastard, beggars will always be beggars! You will never be on equal footing with us——oh my god, thinking about having to have lessons with you, a fucking maggot crawled out of the mire, it makes me sick!”

Ye Ze looked up at the disciple with calm black eyes.

“Looking at me like that—what?! You don’t accept the truth? Looking for a beating?!”

Blows from fists and feet rained down on Ye Ze. The gap between Ye Ze, who’d only learned liandan, and Jianfeng disciples who were taught the sword, was like jocks ganging up on a liberal arts student, the contrast tragically clear at a glance——

“Ha! Not going to look at us now, huh? Watch me break you into pieces?!”

“Still don’t know your place?!”

“You’re not worthy to even carry our shoes!”

“Ha—now that you mention it, I heard that when he was a Danfeng inner disciple who lifted his shoes for him!”

“Hahaha, who’d degrade themselves that much?” The short disciple harshly mocked.

A taller and thinner disciple laughed: “Aren’t they all just foul maggots like him?”

Ye Ze, who’d hereto been passive in the face of the abuse, abruptly leapt off the ground like a crazy person, punching the tall, thin disciple right in the face!

“Fuck! You hit me——”

“Are you looking for death?!”

The fists and feet aimed at Ye Ze become even more vicious!

“Too funny——Don’t worry, I know the name of your little maggot friend, he’s called Xia Wuyin——”

Taking a hard punch to the face, Ye Ze grunted in pain, his fists clenching.

“Hahaha, his name is Xia Wuyin? Got it——so when will that maggot going to come and carry our shoes for us?”

“Wait a minute. Xia Wuyin?”

The short disciple paused, suddenly hesitant: “Danfeng’s entry examination……isn’t Xia Wuyin the one who refined the Sanshangjin dan……that Xia Wuyin?”

“Fuck it, who knows? If I want teach someone a lesson, I teach them! I don’t care who’s refined what stupid dan, if I don’t like the look of them, I’ll beat them!”

“Hahaha, that sound right!”

——“I don’t know him.”

Ye Ze’s low voice continued: “I don’t know the Xia Wuyin you’re talking about.”

“Huh? Oh, are you two going to pretend you don’t know each other? Sounds like someone went up the world and now they’re ignoring you!”

“Who said you could speak? You’re fucking asking for it! I’ll talk about whoever I want, however I want!”

“……”

A cold night breeze rustled through the trees, making the trees sway, and on a branch sat a girl with silver butterflies embroidered on her sleeves. Watching the pathetic scene below, her lips curved in a shallow smile.

Sister, would you look at that?

Is this the Jianfeng you protect so fiercely……

The place where the small and weak are bullied mercilessly. Where the disciples are unscrupulous, avaricious, oppressive. Only the slightest nudge needed for them to indulge the lusts and darkness in their hearts——

Desperately tearing with their teeth at what they desire, filled with jealousy and resentful hatred for all manner of things.

As for that gifted someone who was rumored among the 3 peaks to have refined the Sanshangjin dan, Xia Wuyin……

“Be a little more outstanding.” The girl tilted her head, her expression a facsimile of innocent adorableness. “Go on, climb a little higher.”

“C’mon……shine just a little brighter.”

Because then, when you lose everything, it’ll hurt even more.

Raising her head, Chu Yi contemplated the bright moon shrouded by clouds, her smile turning colder and colder.

brain hole 脑洞

Words derived from brain supplementation . Refers to supplementing some plots in the mind.

“Brain hole” is a metaphor and a symbolic meaning, “a big hole is broken in the head, and it is filled with super imaginative YY (meaning obscenity) power.” Incredible level. Now “there is also a run out of imagination, and only the hole is left”, which is used by men and women with superior imagination .

Lifting shoes is not an action, but describes a person who has no ability, is not reused, and is not qualified to participate in important things, and can only be a marginal figure.

The extended meaning of shoe-lifting is: low-level assistants or attendants who have no skills, often have the meaning of contempt and contempt. For example:

With your little ability, you don’t want to carry shoes for others.That’s a person who can’t even lift shoes for big names.
