Chapter 397 - Happy Interfered

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dust landed on the ground, and the shattered stones from the artificial mountain that exploded gradually revealed two figures. One of them was dressed in a purplish-red long gown and wore a Bamboo Hat with a white veil. She looked like an orchid in a valley while standing quietly beside an old man who was dressed in rags but did not lose his might because of that.

When the woman saw that the Red Flame monster had been forced back by a single palm strike of the old man, her eyes filled with surprised delight, but at the same time, a hint of worry appeared in them.

Even though Senior Wind God was the master of Black Willow Mountain Manor, he had been detained by his three traitorous disciples and tormented for a long time. His body could not take it, but when his restraints were removed, he temporarily recovered his strength under the forceful stimulation of secret techniques. Because of that, the depletion of his stamina was incredibly great!

Once the Red Flame monster disappeared, the awe-inspiring presence of Senior Wind God vanished. He hunched his shoulders, pressed against his chest, and began coughing violently.

“Hack! Cough…”

A large amount of dirty blood spilled on the ground, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.

“Senior!” In alarm, Momo quickly leaned down to check the situation. “Are you alright?”

“I’m old now.” Wind God waved his hand while he bemoaned his fate. He sucked in a deep breath and said, “It’s no wonder why those three traitorous disciples of mine were not willing to wait any longer and would rather scheme against me and their junior sister. By the way…”

A flash of red appeared on his face when he glanced at Momo. “Was the person who lured the other two of my traitorous disciples my female disciple?”

He knew that the three traitorous disciples would not leave Black Willow Mountain Manor until they received what they wanted from him.

When Momo heard his words, her expression became gloomy. “Senior, Senior Abstruse Dancing Sleeves, whom you speak of, was poisoned by a strange venom when I met her. Even though I stole an antidote from the Sacred Poison Doctor Hu Qingniu, it was covered in Rot Intestines in Seven Days. Yesterday, when we came to the area outside Black Willow Mountain Manor, she died because of the poison.”

When Wind God finished listening to Momo’s story, he seemed to be in great grief. A sad look appeared on his face. “My foolish girl, it’s my fault… The poison from those three traitorous disciples of mine wasn’t strong enough to hold back Lil’ Sleeves. Yet that foolish girl actually took the risk to find Hu Qingniu, and that Poison Doctor isn’t a pushover.

“Stealing medicine right under his nose is the same as seeking death. Lil’ Sleeves knew that she was going to die, but she still did not want me to suffer in the hands of those three traitorous disciples. Why did you choose to take this thorny path?!”

When Momo saw Wind God sink into the grief of losing a disciple, she sighed softly and said, “Senior Wind God, she has already passed away. Please don’t be overwhelmed by grief. We have to leave this place quickly. The three manor masters of Black Willow Mountain Manor will return soon.”

“There’s no need to.” A hint of ferocity and determination flashed through Wind God’s eyes. “Today, even if I die here, I will reduce those three traitorous disciples to ash and take revenge for Lil’ Sleeves!”

His tone was incredibly firm.

Momo was rendered speechless, and her expression changed.

She swiftly came to a realization that a change had occurred to the supposedly final segment of the quest, despite the fact that her quest log showed that she had completed the quest!

Wind God sat down cross-legged to meditate and circulate his qi. “Lass, I’m grateful to you for risking your life to save me, but those three traitorous disciples of mine have outstanding abilities. With my current strength, even if I use all my power and execute my secret technique, I still won’t have the ability to kill them, so I have a request.

“I hope that you and your companion can take revenge for me and Lil’ Sleeves. Of course, you can choose to withdraw from this.” Wind God’s tone turned cold. “As a reward, I will give you a rather powerful martial art.”

“Ding!”

The system’s notification arrived. “Will you receive the quest? If you choose to continue, you will choose to help Wind God kill the three manor masters of Black Willow Mountain Manor. If you choose to stop with the quest, you will receive Wind God’s martial arts and leave Black Willow Mountain Manor.”

Momo’s expression became unpleasant.

An unexpected change had indeed appeared in the quest because of Happy joining in: the rewards of the original quest had become slightly lower, but she now had an additional option.

Revenge!

She could tell just how hard the quest would be just based on the fact that it was asking her to kill three Moksha Realm martial artists. The rewards of the quest would definitely increase compared to before, but what surprised her was that another person had spontaneously received that quest as well, and it was Happy.

In fact, he accepted it even before she could think more of it.

Momo instantly released a breath of relief.

Forget fighting against three Moksha Realm martial artists, she could not even handle one. Even though she had reached Life and Death Realm, the disparity of strength between Moksha Realm and Life and Death Realm was different from Mystical Realm and Life and Death Realm.

The difference between Moksha Realm and Life and Death Realm was as great as night and day, and without equipment that was as good as Happy’s fighting against martial artists in Moksha Realm would mean that she could only take a few more hits compared to someone in Mystical Realm.

If she was the only one who was tasked to help Senior Wind God, there would be no need for her to even consider completing the quest!

However, Happy had the power to fight against Moksha Realm martial artists, and it was a possibility that his existence had triggered Wind God’s quest for revenge.

It was also the truth that he could obtain it because of her.

However, the difficulty of Momo’s quest had increased to an even higher degree because of his appearance!

Danger existed together with fortuitous events.

Momo thought about it for a moment, then made the decision to take up the quest to help Senior Wind God take revenge.

“Both of you help me buy some time, at least enough to finish one cup of tea. I’ve just executed my secret technique, and I need to circulate my qi to recover my strength for a while. It’s inconvenient for me to take action right now.”

Wind God released a breath of relief and gave instructions to Momo. “During this period of time, regardless of what methods you use, don’t let anyone bother me, or else, I will end up activating my secret technique in haste, and I cannot ensure that I can kill those three traitorous disciples in one go.”

Momo’s expression changed.

The time to drink one cup of tea was around ten minutes!

Asking her and Happy to hold back three Moksha Realm martial artists for ten minutes was a little too much. It was basically impossible. Once the three manor masters gathered together, Happy and her could forget about even blocking them, because they would not dare to withstand their might with brute strength.

But since they had already accepted the quest, and since Momo had always valued keeping promises, she could only gather her courage to last till the end.

“I understand.”

She gritted her teeth and shot to the top of the pavilion.

When she looked down, she could not only take care of Wind God while he circulated his qi to restore his injuries, but also see enemy movements straight away and react on time.

Momo was not that worried about Happy.

Since he could prance around Black Willow Mountain Manor for half a month and injure Third Manor Master within a single exchange, it was impossible for him to be in any danger. Besides, since Happy chose to take up the quest, he had to have some confidence and a plan to succeed.

She could only place her hopes on Happy to last those ten minutes.

The longer he managed to hold the old monsters, the more of a difference she would be able to make as the second line of defense.

“I’ll have to count on you now.”

Momo looked at the forest in the distance.

*****

Manor Master and Second Manor Master had been chasing after Happy for only a short time before they heard the Red Flame monster’s warning cry.

“Bastard!”

“What’s going with third? How could he run out of the manor without authorization?! What if something happens when there’s no one keeping an eye on that old coot?!” Manor Master looked at Second Manor Master before shouting at him angrily, “Second, go and see what’s going on!”

Happy had been paying attention to the actions of the two old monsters behind him. His plan was to not let them affect Momo’s plan, so the moment they were distracted, he turned around without hesitation and drew his sword.

Emperor Shocks World!

Before the dazzling and breathtaking sword force could vanish, Manor Master and Happy passed by each other.
