The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  Ning Cheng was a perineal wanderer and had experienced a lot more compared to Shi Qionghua. Although the two women had not directly forced her, they definitely would oppress Shi Qionghua in other ways.

  “But where should we go? With my speed, as soon as we left the South Sword Rest Stop with you on my back, someone would immediately attack us. Previously, when I went to help you get some medicines, I was almost intercepted by a couple. This place definitely is very unsafe.” Shi Qionghua spoke with some concern.

  Although she knew that it was not safe in this place, Shi Qionghua also knew that once they left the Sword Mountain Path, she and Ning Cheng would have to face even more dangers.

  “I know. I have a companion beast with good speed. Even ordinary Celestial Bridge Cultivators would not be able to catch up to it. As soon as we leave the Sword Mountain Path, you get on to my companion beast’s back and quickly leave.” Ning Cheng gave a calm reply.

  He also had a much faster means of transport, the starry sky-grade airship. However, this starry sky-grade battleship was not a weapon. It was also too big and too eye-catching. Therefore, they should leave this place with the help of Chasing Bull.

  “Where shall we go then?” Shi Qionghua felt an inexplicable trust in Ning Cheng’s words. If Ning Cheng said that they could get away from here, then they definitely could get away from this place.

  Ning Cheng pondered over it for a short while before speaking, “When we go down, we’ll buy a jade strip containing the map of this planet. Let me take a look at it to decide where to head out.”

  “Ok.” Shi Qionghua gave a simple response, “When are we leaving?”

  “Right now.” After Ning Cheng said this, his Spiritual Consciousness swept towards the South Sword Rest Stop’s shop assistant, who had just touched the restriction right outside their door.

  Shi Qionghua opened the restriction and asked in doubt, “What’s the matter?”

  The shop assistant stood awkwardly at the door and said, “I’m really sorry, but the two of you will have to move out. Someone in the rest stop booked this room in advance, so you will have to move out of here for the time being…..”

  Although Shi Qionghua usually stayed peaceful and seldom turned angry, the shop assistant’s words finally made her red with anger. This was clearly bullying. She had paid for living in this room for two months. How long has it been since she started staying here? It was just too ridiculous for them to ask her to move out.

  Even though she had already planned to leave early, she still felt very uncomfortable with this situation.

  Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up, “Then give back the rest of the rent.”

  The shop assistant quickly bowed and spoke, “I’m sorry, this is not something that I decided. It was the Deacon of our rest stop who placed the rule that tenant’s accommodation fees would never be refunded.”

  Shi Qionghua couldn’t help but speak up, “If we had left by ourselves, you could talk about not refunding us the rest. But now not only you’re driving us out but even refusing to return the rent?”

  The shop assistant’s face grew red from embarrassment and still did not give an explanation; instead, he just said, “It’s the decision of our deacon.”

  Ning Cheng showed a smile and spoke, “Since the room is non-refundable then it’s non-refundable. By the way, do you have any jade strips containing the full map of this planet? Can you sell one to me?”

  “Yes, yes.” The shop assistant quickly took out a jade strip and handed it to Shi Qionghua, “This is my own. I don’t need any celestial coins or anything.”

  “Good.” Ning Cheng motioned Shi Qionghua to take the jade strip and then spoke to the shop assistant, “Go back and tell that Deacon that Ning Cheng from Jiangzhou sends his regards and will come to meet him once I’m free.”

  Shi Qionghua suddenly felt that ‘Jiangzhou’ seemed like a familiar word. She felt as if she had heard it somewhere before.

  After that, Ning Cheng said to Shi Qionghua, “Qionghua, let’s go now.”

  The next moment, Ning Cheng called out Chasing Bull.

  The rest stop’s shop assistant did not feel surprised to see Ning Cheng calling out Chasing Bull. Many cultivators kept companion beasts around these parts. Moreover, a black bull, even as a companion beast, was not worth a lot of celestial coins.

  As soon as Chasing Bull came out, it called out, “Master, oh heavens, who hurt my master this badly. This old bull will swallow them alive……”

  Ning Cheng spoke with some anger, “Cut the crap, and start walking.”

  Shi Qionghua knew what Ning Cheng intended. Ning Cheng originally intended to call out his companion beast after leaving Sword Mountain Path. However, since Ning Cheng called out his companion beast now, then apparently the situation had turned urgent. She quickly stepped up and lifted Ning Cheng on to her back. Without waiting for her to speak, Chasing Bull knelt on the ground knowingly and spoke, “I hope Mistress can climb onto my back with Master. This old bull will make sure to make the ride as smooth as possible.”

  Shi Qionghua blushed and had no way to talk back to the unreasonable words of this stupid bull.

  Watching Chasing Bull strut downstairs with Shi Qionghua on its back, the shop assistant had a strange feeling that he had never seen such a peculiar companion beast till now.

  The moment Shi Qionghua walked out of the South Sword Rest Stop with Ning Cheng on her back, Ning Cheng immediately felt several Spiritual Consciousnesses locking in onto them.

  “Master, where should we go?” As soon as Chasing Bull left the rest stop, it immediately asked.

  Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness had already scanned through the map within the jade strip in Shi Qionghua’s hand and had already singled out a place. Therefore, once Chasing Bull asked, he did not immediately answer and instead told Shi Qionghua, “Qionghua, give the jade strip in your hand to Chasing Bull.”

  Ning Cheng would never change his mind once he set it on accomplishing something; moreover, Shi Qionghua also had no choice but to come with him. Now that he got on to the bull’s back, why would he care about to details?

  After Chasing Bull swept through the jade strip, Ning Cheng immediately sent down an order to Chasing Bull, “Outside the Sword Mountain Path, there is a sword valley called Desperate Straits. Head there. Run for me now. The faster, the better. If I find someone managing to track us, just wait for me to stew you.”

  Chasing Bull wanted to speak a few words, but after hearing Ning Cheng’s order, it did not dare to open its mouth anymore. Quickly spreading its hooves, it immediately transformed into a shadow before shooting out and disappeared from the ancient castle complex of the Sword Mountain Path.

  The several cultivators standing on the side could not even feel the shadow and only saw Chasing Bull disappearing without a trace.

  “What fast speed……” A cultivator subconsciously blurted, and then he remembered his task causing his expression to change immediately. Hurriedly taking out a messaging flying sword, the cultivator immediately imprinted a few words on to it and sent it away. Then quickly bringing out another flying sword, the fellow stimulated it with Celestial Essence and chased out following Chasing Bull.

  Within the Sword Mountain Path, many cultivators stood waiting for Shi Qionghua and Ning Cheng. And just as Ning Cheng speculated, it was all due to You Clan’s machinations for dealing with the two cultivators. These cultivators all came due to You Fei, to force Shi Qionghua to head to the You Clan.

  However, no one could imagine that Shi Qionghua would leave the South Sword Rest Stop so quickly and with such speed. Even the best Celestial-grade Battleship could not match up to such speed.

  By the time these cultivators reacted, Chasing Bull had long since disappeared with Ning Cheng and Shi Qionghua on its back. Not only that, even their Spiritual Consciousness could not determine Chasing Bull’s direction. It would have truly turned out strange if the Spiritual Consciousnesses of these fellows could track an Array Form
ation Master like Ning Cheng.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, where are we going?” Shi Qionghua felt relieved to see that Chasing Bull’s speed had really thrown those people off their tracks.

  “The Sword Valley…..”

  As soon as Ning Cheng spoke the words Sword Valley, Shi Qionghua felt surprised and immediately recalled the description and location marked in the jade strip. It told that the sword valley, called Desperate Straits, contained terrifying Sword Auras that perennially raged throughout the area without any stoppage. Simply put, it was nothing more than plunging into an even more desperate situation as its name implied. Now that they’ve managed to escape, why would he want to jump into a place like the Sword Valley?

  “Whether I can use that place for experiencing nirvana for forging my body or not, I want to see it.” Ning Cheng answered with a soft voice.

  In fact, Shi Qionghua had already guessed why Ning Cheng wanted to head to the Sword Valley. To achieve nirvana when it came to body forging, one had to go through destruction before construction. Only after the complete breakdown of the corporeal body, could one actually build upon its ashes before finally standing up. Since Ning Cheng wanted to enter the Desperate Straits Sword Valley, it should most likely be because he felt that his body had not broken down enough. Therefore, he had no choice but to head to the Sword Valley.

  For Ning Cheng to think of entering the Sword Valley to experience nirvana, it also showed that he now had a clear direction about achieving body-forging nirvana.

  Shi Qionghua did not ask another question. Ning Cheng’s breath tickled the base of her ear as he spoke while still slumped on her back, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

  The Sword Valley was quite a distance away from the Sword Mountain Path; however, because of the fear that its master would make a stew out of him, Chasing Bull not only kept pushing its speed to the limits, it even tightly shut its mouth and kept its habit of talking in check. Ning Cheng silently pondered and tried to derive a body refining cultivation method that could help him achieve nirvana while still slumped on Shi Qionghua’s bank and naturally did not talk much.

  As for Shi Qionghua, she let her imagination run wild. Suddenly she seemed to have remembered something and turned her head around in shock.

  Four warm lips touched for a short moment, almost stopping Shi Qionghua’s breathing. Just a moment later, she responded and quickly turned her head sideways. However, the shock was still too much.

  Ning Cheng only looked at Shi Qionghua and smiled. Although the current Shi Qionghua saw him as at most a friend in her heart and mind, in Ning Cheng’s heart and soul, Shi Qionghua would always remain as his wife.

  “Did you want to ask something?” Ning Cheng’s words immediately interrupted Shi Qionghua’s embarrassment.

  Shi Qionghua took a while to remember what she wanted to ask before finally speaking up with an eager voice, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, when you mentioned ‘Ning Cheng from Jiangzhou’, I suddenly thought of Wanderer from Jiangzhou, the one who managed to climb to the 81st floor of the Celestial Scryer Tower in Culmination Public Square.”

  Ning Cheng did not choose to hide it from Shi Qionghua; he nodded and spoke up, “Yes, I am that Wanderer from Jiangzhou.”

  Shi Qionghua immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. If Ning Cheng had not confirmed it, she would never have thought that Ning Cheng was that Wanderer from Jiangzhou. Not only she and her Senior Apprentice Sister Yiyi, even all the people at the Culmination Public Square, no, rather no one within the entire Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City knew about this cultivator. He was the cultivator who even her master wanted to meet. Not only her, but even Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart also want to know more about this cultivator.

  And such a person actually rested on her back. Who could have foreseen such a situation? It suddenly occurred to her that if her master knew that Ning Cheng was that Wanderer from Jiangzhou and if Senior Apprentice Brother Ning had said that he liked her, would her master still tell Ning Cheng to get lost.

  Regardless, her master would never allow her to marry Ning Cheng anyway. She was the Everlasting Sacred Shrine’s Sacred Lady, something that had been established long ago, and would remain unchanged.

  ……

  Shi Qionghua had just left the Sword Mountain Path with Ning Cheng when the You Clan received a message.`

  You Fei on realising that Shi Qionghua escaped from the Sword Mountain Path, felt his mood plummeting at once. What he had imagined never happened. The female cultivator he saw had not come to the You Clan’s castle as Yang Xin had planned, but had actually escaped this quickly.

  “That bitch, she just fails to appreciate our kindness.” Yang Xin’s face no longer had that warm smile from before. At this time, only anger covered her face apart from the frosty expression. She felt insulted, she had gone to talk to Shi Qionghua as the principal wife of You Clan’s You Fei. It was more than enough face for that woman. What’s more, even You Fei’s aunt, a cultivator in the Celestial Bridge Realm, had accompanied her. How could she, or anyone, have the gall to cause them to lose so much face?

  Unexpectedly, this woman not only did not agree to it but also managed to escape. Moreover, the speed of her escape was also quite fast, indicating that this woman had used her own grand plan to drive the woman out of the South Sword Rest Stop against her. Maybe she had already planned to leave, and the rest stop forcing her out gave her the best opportunity.

  “Lord Husband, that woman simply does not appreciate your kindness. A rogue cultivator daring to look down on our You Clan, you can rest assured that I will make her kneel here and beg to enter through the You Clan’s doors.” Yang Xin finally stood up and spoke with a hate-filled voice. Apparently, she decided to deal with this matter personally.

  You Fei hesitated before speaking, “That woman looks very gentle and quiet. Don’t scare her. If possible, try using mild means.”

  If You Fei felt hung up on Shi Qionghua before, then now that Shi Qionghua escaped, that hung-up feeling towards Shi Qionghua had transformed into an irrepressible yearning. As time passed, this yearning for her only grew stronger and more substantial. He even started regretting about being too soft at that time. He should have asked that female cultivator, with a veil covering her face, to come with him to the You Clan directly.

  There was a saying that went ‘one craves for the things out of one’s reach’, which aptly described You Fei’s current situation. If Shi Qionghua had quickly married him and entered the You Clan, he would have liked it too, but he definitely would not have craved for her as much as he did now.

  ……

  Sword Valley, it did not become famous because of the Sword Mountain Path but became famous because of its despair-inducing Sword Aura that ravaged through the area. Over the many years, too many Sword Cultivators had come to the Sword Valley and the Sword Mountain Path to understand the Dao of Swords. However, among the Sword Cultivators who went to the Sword Mountain Path, those who managed to gain any enlightenment regarding the Dao of Swords simply were too rare. As for the Sword Cultivators who came to the Sword Valley, they rarely managed to come out alive.

  In this area, there was a saying that if one had grown tired of living, then one should head to the Sword Valley to understand the Dao of Swords. Nowhere else would satisfy this requirement. If one had an enemy, then lead the enemy into the Sword Valley, because then one could quickly obtain the revenge one desired.

  At this moment, Chasing Bull finally stopped outside a grey-coloured valley. No matter where one stood in front of the valley, one could easily sense bursts of Sword Aura seeping into them. This caused people to shudder unconsciously.

  Even Ning Cheng’s starry sky Sea o
f Consciousness could not help him peep into the Sword Valley. Once entered, one might not even manage to move half an inch inside. Sensing the aura of death spilling over from the inside of the Sword Valley, even the thick-skinned and stupid Chasing Bull shivered unconsciously.

  “Master, we reached the Sword Valley, but I dare not head inside.” Chasing Bull finally mustered some courage and spoke up.

  “I know.” Ning Cheng responded then spoke to Shi Qionghua, “Qionghua, take Chasing Bull and find a safe place around here to open up a cave. Remember to arrange the Array Discs, the ones that I gave you, at the entrance of the cave. If I can’t find anything to help me, I will immediately come out to find you. If something happens to me inside or something else happens to you, let Chasing Bull take you away.”

  While speaking, Ning Cheng brought out a storage ring for Shi Qionghua and spoke, “There are some cultivation resources inside. You can use them.”

  Ning Cheng even gave the starry sky-grade battleship to Shi Qionghua.

  Shi Qionghua hesitated for a moment before nodding and speaking up, “I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

  She understood that since Ning Cheng came to this place, then he had already steeled his heart to achieve nirvana. Even if she tried to dissuade him, it would have been useless. Therefore, she decided not to speak about this anymore.

  Watching Ning Cheng slowly enter the Sword Valley while sitting on a middle-grade spear-type Dao Artefact, Shi Qionghua’s mood immediately plummeted. Ever since she ripped through the interface with the Boundary Breaking Talisman with Ning Cheng on her back, she had gotten used to having Ning Cheng around. Now that Ning Cheng suddenly entered the Desperate Straits Sword Valley, it made her feel very uncomfortable. It felt as if her heart and mind had emptied entirely as if it missed too many things.
