Nine Yang Sword Saint

Dugu Fengwu tossed a bag of gold coins and spoke in a cold voice, “Go and borrow or buy three feet of Silk Snow Brocade.”

Silk Snow Brocade? Yang Dingtian was startled, but he didn"t know what this thing was. What was it used for? Why did Dugu Fengwu need such a thing?

But at the same time, he was relieved and delighted. As it turned out, she didn"t recognize him and just wanted to get him to do something for me. But he didn"t know why she would pick him.

“Oh, okay,” Yang Dingtian replied. He then quickly took the gold coins and walked outside.

“Go find the most expensive cabin and borrow it from the most beautiful and most graceful woman on the s.h.i.+p,” Dugu Fengwu stated.

“Eh, I understand.” Yang Dingtian walked out in a hurry, and he felt as though his entire back was drenched.

But Yang Dingtian was truly baffled at why Dugu Fengwu was asking him to go and get the Silk Snow Brocade. Why wouldn"t she go herself? Why would she insist on getting Yang Dingtian to get it?

But that thing did sound very expensive and might only be available from a woman with esteemed status.

Yang Dingtian had a thought that flashed in his mind as he wanted to dive into the sea and leave as far away from this demon woman as possible.

“Don"t even think about running, or I will tear you into pieces,” Just as he had the thought, his ears instantly echoed with Dugu Fengwu"s voice.

Yang Dingtian felt a chill in his heart. This demon woman had already locked her qi intent onto him and was certainly not going to let out. He had no choice but to find the Silk Snow Brocade for her.

Thus, Yang Dingtian went knocking on the single cabins and experienced plenty of eyes rolling at him.

The first cabin was a man who immediately drew his sword as he opened the cabin door.

The second cabin was a couple who were dressed splendidly, and they were looking at Yang Dingtian with eyes of precaution.

“Who are you looking for?” They asked.

Yang Dingtian asked in return, “I want to borrow three feet of Silk Snow Brocade.”

“Silk Snow Brocade?” That beautiful woman was instantly flushed as she endured her dissatisfaction and replied, “Apologies. I know of that thing, but we don"t have it.”

“Oh. Thank you. Sorry for the trouble,” Yang Dingtian apologized.

Subsequently, Yang Dingtian knocked on the third door, which had a beautiful married woman who was emitting charm and arrogance.

“May I know if you have Silk Snow Brocade?” Yang Dingtian asked.

The married woman instantly changed in expression as she screamed, “Someone, come and catch this ruffian! Catch the ruffian…”

In an instant, several guards rushed out from the other cabin. The leader of the guards questioned, “Madam, who is the ruffian?”

“It"s this person. He teased me as soon as he opened his mouth,” That married woman pointed at Yang Dingtian.

The guards instantly brandished their sabers and cleaved at Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian quickly drew his sword to block and spoke in an unhappy tone, “Why are you guys attacking without knowing the details? How am I a ruffian? Be careful, or I will fight back!”

“You are already asking me for the Silk Snow Brocade. If you are not the ruffian, who is? Quickly break his hands and legs!” That married woman ordered.

Once the guards heard the married woman, their moves were even more ferocious as every move was aimed at breaking his hands.

Yang Dingtian was using his sword to block and complaining in his heart. What exactly was this stupid Silk Snow Brocade? Why would someone be a ruffian if they asked for it?

As the battle intensified, everyone else on the s.h.i.+p came for the entertainment, while Yang Dingtian"s enemies increased.

“If you guys continue, I will not be merciful,” Yang Dingtian had been reserving himself, but the number of enemies was getting more and more. He couldn"t help but yell at them.

Right now, the largest cabin on the inside opened up, revealing a charming and absolutely beautiful face.

“Everyone, stop.”

Everyone looked at her and were instantly stunned.

Even Yang Dingtian was momentarily at a loss, as he was dazzled by the absolutely beautiful face.

This was an incomparably beautiful face. Every inch of skin was white as snow and delicate like suet jade.

Her brows looked like a painting of mountains, and her eyes were like the autumn waters. Her nose looked like jade, and her lips like peach blossoms.

The guards were all instantly mesmerized and dazzled while all their weapons dropped the floor as they had forgotten they were in a fight.

This was the most beautiful woman that Yang Dingtian ever saw in this world. Dongfang Bingling, Ximen Yanyan, and Dugu Fengwu were now just the top cla.s.s beauties in this world.

But this woman in front of him was filled with tender and gentleness. It seemed as though she would never get angry and would always be soft like water.

She was wearing a snow-white dress, which displayed how slender her waist was. She didn"t have seductive curves like Ximen Yanyan and didn"t have the healthy built that Mu Lianyi had, but it was captivating and filled with a tender feeling.

This woman was so gentle that she instantly broke down the guards on all the men!

“Sister, don"t misunderstand. He is my man, and he is trying to borrow the Silk Snow Brocade for me.” That woman spoke in a soft voice to the married woman, “He is a bit dim and doesn"t know how to talk. I hope you don"t mind.”

Finis.h.i.+ng her statement, that absolutely beautiful woman walked over and tugged on Yang Dingtian"s sleeve while speaking in an annoyed but gentle voice, “Hurry up and follow me.”

Right at this moment, everyone noticed that this absolute beauty was actually in a married woman"s attire, indicating that she was already married.

Everyone instantly looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes of jealousy. Even that beautiful married woman revealed an expression as though Yang Dingtian was the cow dung with a beautiful flower stuck on it.

Just like that, Yang Dingtian was led into this absolute beauty"s cabin, while his nose was filled with fragrance.

Inside the cabin was a little girl who was around the age of three or four years and looked like a pink jade sculpture. Yang Dingtian had never seen such a little girl who looked as exquisite as the snow.

“Mother, is he the father?” When the little girl saw Yang Dingtian, she instantly asked in a timid voice, while looking at Yang Dingtian with expectation.

The little girl"s eyes were bright and large, just like two precious pearls that were embedded in her exquisite face.

“This is uncle, not father,” The beauty replied in a gentle voice.

Right now, Yang Dingtian felt as though he had forgotten his manners, as he quickly bowed to the woman and spoke with respect, “I thank Madam for helping me out of trouble.”

“It is nothing much.” The absolute beauty spoke, “You are too rash. How can you openly ask around for such a thing? No wonder people are calling you a ruffian. You wait here for a moment, I will go get it for you.”

The woman then walked to a chest and knelt down.

“How much do you need?” The woman spoke in a tender voice.

“Three feet,” Yang Dingtian replied.

There was a sound of silk getting snipped. The woman then brought over a lump of pure white brocade that looked like snow. She handed it over to Yang Dingtian and said, “Three feet might not be enough. Take five feet of it.”

“Oh, thank you. How much will it cost?” Yang Dingtian received it and noticed that this five feet of Silk Snow Brocade felt as though it didn"t have any weight. It was soft and light, like the drifting cloud. He lowered his head looked at this silk-like thing, which was much smoother than silk. It was pure and translucent, but Yang Dingtian had never seen such a high-grade silk material.

“Who is the one having their period? Why are they asking a man like you to borrow the brocade?” The woman asked in a soft voice.

“Ah? Period?” Yang Dingtian was astonished as his face was flushed red all the way to his ears.

This… this was something that women used for their periods? Wouldn"t it be too luxurious to use the Silk Snow Brocade? No wonder that luxurious looking woman didn"t have such a thing.

No wonder that beautiful married would have such an adverse reaction. This wasn"t the modern-day Earth, and it was natural that people would accuse Yang Dingtian of being a ruffian when he went around asking for it. He wished that the s.h.i.+p would suddenly open with a crack where he would hide in it.

“It-it"s my wife.” Yang Dingtian endured his embarra.s.sment and took out a bag of coins and said, “T-this money is for you.”

Immediately after, he wanted to turn and leave.

“What is the money for?” The woman put the bag of coins back into Yang Dingtian"s hand.

“Uncle"s face is red~ He is lying.” That pinkish jade-like little girl pointed at Yang Dingtian"s face and said.

“Ning Ning mustn"t talk like that,” The woman spoke in a soft and displeased voice.

“Ning Ning?” Yang Dingtian immediately looked at the little girl, whose name was also Ning Ning. Yang Dingtian felt a soft and sour feeling in his heart as he instantly recalled about Ximen Ning Ning. That Ning Ning who was limitlessly gentle and tolerant, but was currently without any news, he didn"t even know if she was dead or alive.

“You are called Ning Ning?” Yang Dingtian asked in a gentle voice, which affectionate eyes.

“That"s right. My name is Ning Ning. What is uncle"s name?” The little girl asked in return.

“I, I am Uncle Tian…” He must not say his real name; it would be too dangerous. But when he was looking at Ning Ning"s innocent and pure eyes, he couldn"t help to tell a lie.

Once he said his name, Yang Dingtian instinctively put on his guard. It didn"t matter if this absolutely gorgeous married woman were to hear his name, but if Dugu Fengwu heard his name, it wouldn"t be good.

“Uncle wants to give you a gift. Okay?” As Yang Dingtian spoke, he reached into his pocket, when in fact, he was taking something out from his spatial ring.

After searching for a moment, he finally found something.

It was an ice sculpture that was in the shape of a flower pendant. This thing was called Anti-venom Ice Jade. The wearer didn"t have to fear 99% of the poison in the world. This thing might not be invaluable, but it was still worth at least a few hundred thousand gold coins. It was one of the treasures that Ximen Ning Ning left for Yang Dingtian.

“No, this item is too valuable,” The absolute beauty responded in a soft voice. It was obvious that she knew the value of this Anti-venom Ice Jade. She was about to walk forward and take the pendant off from little Ning Ning"s neck to return it back to Yang Dingtian.

“The things that I gifted will never be taken back.” Yang Dingtian spoke in a determined voice, “This is my fate with little Ning Ning. I like her very much.”

“Then, then many thanks to you,” The beauty replied in a tender voice. She then spoke to her daughter, “Ning Ning, hurry up and thank uncle.”

The little girl went forward to hug Yang Dingtian by the neck and gave him a little kiss on his cheek. She then said in a sweet voice, “Thank you, uncle.”

“You"re welcome.” Yang Dingtian rubbed her little head with pampering affection. He then stood up and said, “I shall take my leave, Madam.”

“En.” The absolute beauty said, “Help me give my greetings to sister-in-law.”

Yang Dingtian"s face flushed again as he nodded and walked out of the cabin.

When he was at the door, little Ning Ning suddenly said, “Uncle, Ning Ning never saw her father before. Can you be my father?”

The little girl had a pure heart and could instinctively feel the doting love Yang Dingtian had for her. She who lacked fatherly love, couldn"t bear to see Yang Dingtian leave. She instantly spoke with words that had nothing but innocence.

The absolute beauty"s face instantly blushed, so did her eyes, as she spoke in a reprimanding but soft tone, “Ning Ning, you mustn"t talk like this.”

The little girl"s eyes grew red as large beads of tears rolled out. “I am not talking foolishly. Father doesn"t want the mother and Ning Ning anymore. Grandmother doesn"t like us anymore and drove us out. I know about all these. Uncle is good to me. I want uncle to be my father!”

The absolutely beautiful married woman couldn"t hold back as tears flowed from her eyes. She spoke to Yang Dingtian, “My apologies. The child doesn"t know what she is talking about. You don"t have to pay attention to her.”

Seeing the big teary eyes on little Ning Ning, Yang Dingtian felt sore in his heart. He unintentionally guessed the back story of this mother and daughter, and he roughly got the picture.

The gorgeous married woman smiled and said, “We are actually bringing Ning Ning to look for her father.”

Yang Dingtian would really like to know what kind of father did this little girl have? How could he be so heartless to abandon this gentle and beautiful woman? How could he abandon such a cute daughter? But it was obvious that this woman couldn"t endure living at her mother"s home anymore. Hence she brought her daughter out to seek shelter with her father.

But, if that man had the heart to abandon them back them, if this woman were to bring their daughter to seek shelter, they might just meet with an even more miserable fate.

Yang Dingtian felt the pain in his heart, and he wanted to tell them to come and look for him in Cloud Heaven City if they met with something bad. His heart was filled with the desire to protect them, but he couldn"t even protect himself now. Furthermore, the current Cloud Heaven City was a territory that belonged to the enemy.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and solemnly bid them goodbye. “Madam, take care!”

He then immediately turned and left.

“Waaa….” Afterward, little Ning Ning cried sadly.

“Uncle doesn"t like Ning Ning too. Uncle doesn"t want Ning Ning as well…” Yang Dingtian managed to hear a little of it, but Ning Ning"s wailing was cut off by the closing of the cabin door.

Yang Dingtian immediately hastened his footsteps.

After arriving at Dugu Fengwu"s cabin, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and walked in.

Due to the sad and sore feeling in his heart, it helped him to reduce much of the tension that he should have when facing Dugu Fengwu.

Right now, Dugu Fengwu"s back was facing Yang Dingtian. She had taken off her long robe, leaving behind the white and soft inner clothes. Her attire was able to showcase her delicate figure, which was extremely mesmerizing.

“Here is five feet of Silk Snow Brocade and your coin bag. Farewell.” Yang Dingtian placed the things on the table and wanted to turn and leave.

“Hold on,” Dugu Fengwu said.

“Is there anything else?” Yang Dingtian was feeling rather frustrated.

“You are really leaving your love in all places, uh? Just a simple act of borrowing the snow brocade, allowed you to hook up a beauty along with a little beauty,” Dugu Fengwu turned her delicate figure around, revealing her gorgeous face.

She actually removed her disguise.

“Don"t you maliciously slander others.” Yang Dingtian spoke with fury, “You can humiliate me, but do not humiliate the innocent people.”

As he was infuriated, Yang Dingtian had forgotten how terrifyingly powerful Dugu Fengwu was.

“You already cannot bear to part with them? You already cherish them so much?” Dugu Fengwu mocked and said, “You are really an affectionate person, uh? Yang Dingtian!”

“I will repeat it, that woman is married and has a husband. Don"t you taint her reputation…” As Yang Dingtian was speaking, he suddenly stopped, because Dugu Fengwu called out his name.

“You recognize me?” Yang Dingtian vigorously arched his back as his hand immediately held onto the sword hilt.

“Of course.” Dugu Fengwu said, “Or else, why would I board this s.h.i.+p? To find you, I have searched through dozens of s.h.i.+ps.”

Yang Dingtian spoke with disbelief and said, “How did you recognize me?”

“I used the Evil Soul Art and announced that I would exchange it with the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, but ended up empty-handed. Over ten days ago, I got to know that the southwest continent"s Mu Clan Docks obtained a Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Thus, I used the fastest speed to make haste over and caught Mu Lianyi.”

“What did you do to her?” Yang Dingtian questioned.

“Don"t worry. I merely used an evil art to force her to speak. I didn"t do anything to your little servant girl.” Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, “With the influence of my evil art, anyone must speak. I know that you have the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl with you, and you are bringing it up north to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. So I used my fastest speed to chase after you and waited for you here at the docks. I searched through all the s.h.i.+ps and finally found you on this s.h.i.+p.”

“You"ve only met me once, and I was wearing a mask. How did you recognize me?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Dugu Fengwu laughed grimly and said, “To make it convenient for myself in pursuing you, my father left a permanent mark on your body. As long as you are within the 1000 feet radius, I will be able to find you.”

“d.a.m.n that, Dugu Xiao, d.a.m.n that b.a.s.t.a.r.d,” Yang Dingtian cursed with anger.

“That"s right. He is truly an old b.a.s.t.a.r.d who deserves to be hacked into pieces.” Dugu Fengwu cursed her own father without any reserve before smiling at Yang Dingtian. “Thank you for borrowing the Silk Snow Brocade for me. Now, hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl… otherwise, I will rip you into pieces.”

“Are you playing with me?” Yang Dingtian spoke with fury, “You already recognized me, but you didn"t kill me. Instead, you made me borrow this stupid Silk Snow Brocade. I would rather be killed than be humiliated! Are you making me an amus.e.m.e.nt?”

“I am not playing with you.” Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold voice, “I got you to borrow the Silk Snow Brocade because I require it.”

When she was speaking about this, Dugu Fengwu"s face turned cold while her eyes were filled with murderous qi. “This is all because of you. I originally possess the Meridians of Pure Yang and wouldn"t have such troubles of a normal woman. You b.a.s.t.a.r.d who stained me and made me like the rest of the woman. Now, I have to suffer the torment which every woman has to experience every month.”

“I didn"t. I didn"t G.o.d d.a.m.n touch you.” Yang Dingtian yelled out, “This is just your b.a.s.t.a.r.d father trying to frame me.”

“Then why does my body have your qi presence?” Dugu Fengwu"s shapely brows knitted as she spoke indignantly, “If you didn"t do that thing to me, why would my body have your qi presence?”

“How would I G.o.d d.a.m.n know?” Yang Dingtian spoke angrily, “You should be clear if I have ever touched you. Can"t you check it yourself?”

“Pa…” Dugu Fengwu gave a hard slap.

Yang Dingtian could feel the stinging sensation that was on his face.

“Do I even need you to tell me?” Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold voice, “When I came to, there was blood on my thighs.”

Yang Dingtian instantly recalled it. When he was carrying Dugu Fengwu, her thighs were indeed stained with blood.

“I, I will not be able to cleanse my name even if I jump into the Yellow River,” Yang Dingtian was speechless. He didn"t know if it were the vigorous running that caused it, or was it injured by the forceful qi, or was it accidentally struck by one of the flying rocks.

“I cannot be bothered to dispute with you. No matter the case, I didn"t do it. If I really did it, I would own up to it.” Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently, “Since you already found me, then just do whatever you want.”

Dugu Fengwu forcefully endured and suppressed her anger.

“Yang Dingtian, to be honest, I do not care about the fact that you stained me, because I am not interested in the relations.h.i.+p between man and woman. Apart from feeling disgusted, I do not feel anything else. Hence, if you had tainted me, I simply feel dirty and not those extreme emotions of wanting to die.” Dugu Fengwu spoke in an apathetic tone, “What I care about is my Meridians of Pure Yang and that you ruined my future cultivation. You made the energy in my body impure, and you are the reason why I might not be able to rise to the pinnacle of all the martial experts in the world. I am chasing after you for this reason. Do you understand?”

“I will say it once more. I didn"t touch you. Don"t make things sound so awful. I do not know why do you have my qi presence in your body.” Yang Dingtian said, “Just do whatever you want to do.”

Dugu Fengwu drew her sharp sword and pointed it at Yang Dingtian. “Hand over the Fire Chilling Pearl, or I will severe you into pieces.”

“Impossible.” Yang Dingtian said, “Even if I hand it over, you will still severe me into pieces.”

Dugu Fengwu responded, “If you hand it over, I will release you and let you live for another half a month. Fifteen days later, I will start my pursuit again. During this gap of time, you can run as far as you can.”
