Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1709: Charming Beauties

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

In the heavy snow, the entire city was in silence...

In the Apricot Blossom Court, Apricot Blossom Village outside Dragon Emperor City, Zhang Tie’s substitute was having a drink with Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan. Zhang Tie even taught them drinkers’ wager game and finger-guessing game. Three of them were pretty thrilled.

As a result, the entire tranquil courtyard was filled with the exclamations between Zhang Tie and the two girls, which was pretty warm and boisterous.

“Four-season wealth ya...”

“Fine-chiefs ya...”

“Six is happy ya...”

“Ah, Zhang Tie, you lost it; you lost it. It’s your turn to drink...” Ji Yuelan’s voice reached downstairs from the roof.

“Well, let’s continue!” Zhang Tie’s voice sounded again.

In the courtyard, Uncle Qu and his wife were whispering to each other with smiles while listening to the cheers of the three people on the roof.

“Which one do you think is in love with childe, Miss Ji or Miss Jiang?”

“I think both of them!”

“Men are always covetous. I feel that Miss Ji loves childe more. As a woman, I know it clearly. But Miss Jiang is also beautiful. Given her look, she could definitely bring happiness to her husband and could easily deliver babies...”

“It’s normal for childe to marry a couple of wives...”

“Humph, I feel childe is not that kind of person...”

Although they didn’t eat food anymore, the chafing dish in the pavilion on the roof was still giving out heat, making the pavilion as warm as spring. Being tipsy and having heard the talk between Uncle Qu and his wife, Jiang Ruoxin blushed a bit as she leaned against the soft couch in the pavilion, squinting her eyes. At the same time, she watched Zhang Tie whose face turned red playing finger-guessing game with Ji Yuelan excitedly.

Not knowing why, whenever Jiang Ruoxin came to Zhang Tie’s courtyard, she had felt especially relaxed where she didn’t need to think about or do anything; nor would she worry about anything. She only needed to have fun with Zhang Tie like what they’re doing now. Zhang Tie would always show them odd things which could bring them a lot of fun.

In many cases, after staying long with Zhang Tie, Jiang Ruoxin even forgot about Zhang Tie’s identity as an immortal general and his brutal and resolute deed when killing people; instead, she treated Zhang Tie as a craftsman who could make a lot of delicate widgets and a man who could create poems whenever he wanted or an old friend whom she could confide to without any concern...

‘If we could live on like this without any concern, it’s also not bad...’

Such a whim occurred to Jiang Ruoxin.

Right beside her...

“Two bosom brothers...”

“Eight horses ya...”

“Hah, I win...” Zhang Tie shouted, “It’s your turn to drink...”

“You’re shameless...” Ji Yuelan argued as she pouted.

“What?” Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes as he exclaimed...

“You were a bit late than me. I won’t drink it this time. One more...”

“Even if you’re a woman, you should also be justified...”

“Didn’t you say that men should give concession to women? I’m not justified, so what?” Ji Yuelan watched Zhang Tie with peach cheeks and sparkling eyes, chesting out.

“Well, I give concession to you; I favor you; if you don’t drink; let me feed you...” After leaving the words, Zhang Tie bottomed up. Before Ji Yuelan responded, he put his arms around Ji Yuelan’s neck before sticking his lips to hers. When their tongues were twisting with each other, Zhang Tie poured the wine into Ji Yuelan’s mouth.

Watching wine dropping off their mouths and hearing Ji Yuelan’s groan, Jiang Ruoxin’s face turned redder as she closed her eyes at once. However, closely after that, she opened her eyes again.

After a long while, the two people separated. Zhang Tie smiled while Ji Yuelan looked drunk. Being thrilled, she instantly leaned against Zhang Tie’s chest softly as she patted Zhang Tie, complaining, “How dare you take advantage of this elder sister...”

“You didn’t oppose it just now. I thought you liked it!”

“If so, you shouldn’t have ended it so fast...” Ji Yuelan continued as she drew a circle on Zhang Tie’s chest...

Zhang Tie...

“Enough is enough. I’ve not been drunk yet. If you continue, I will leave...” Jiang Ruoxin couldn’t stand opening her mouth as she glared at Zhang Tie and Ji Yuelan. Although it sounded like a condemnation, it contained other meanings.

“Ruoxin, how about having a try? It’s called skin cup. If you want to have a try, I will sacrifice myself. I swear that you could do it with me for free. It doesn’t matter even if you make me lose my innocense...” Zhang Tie turned around as he told Jiang Ruoxin solemnly.

“Peh, you’re the last innocent person in the world...” Jiang Ruoxin turned around and argued as her face turned redder.

“Pufttt...” Ji Yuelan burst into laughter at a stroke. After that, she incited Zhang Tie in fear of no trouble, “Well, well, let Ruoxin enjoy one skin cup too. She’s not tasted a skin cup since she was born...”

“Drink it if you like, don’t draw me in!”

“The voice box that you presented us like time is Ruoxin’s favorite. She directly put it at her bedside. Additionally, Ruxin usually recited the poem In the bright lamplight that you wrote last time. She’s really crazy about it. Today, as all the plum blossoms in the courtyard have opened these days in the heavy snow, if you could write a poem that contains snow and flowers and satisfy us, I will let Ruoxin feed you a skin cup!” Ji Yuelan promised as she clapped her hands.

“It’s easy. Listen!” After having a cup of wine, Zhang Tie watched the two girls. After being silent for a few seconds, he sang, “In the snowwhite world, there’s a plum tree. The plum twigs being covered with ice were crystal. The plum blossoms at the top of the twigs are plump and pure white. These plum blossoms bring peope the news that the spring is coming. Being just open, how tender and beautiful they are! With rich fragrance, they’re like beauties who have just come out of the bathtub in new clothes. The mother nature might prefer these delicate and charming plum blossoms as they make moonlight especially pure and white, spreading over the ground. Come! Let’s cheer up for the good night with beautiful flowers and a round moon! Let’s appreciate the plum blossoms and have a drink. No other blossoms could match plum blossom!”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s poem, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were transfixed as they both felt Zhang Tie’s line contained numerous meanings; especially the last line, “No other blossoms could match plum blossom!” which aroused the resonance of the two girls immediately...

Ji Yuelan hid her smile at once; instead, her eyes turned wet. Jiang Ruoxin watched Zhang Tie with a dumbfounded look.

At this moment, Zhang Tie was watching them with a smile, far away from being drunk and profaning them.

“The mother nature might prefer these delicate and charming plum blossoms...No other blossoms could match plum blossom...” Jiang Ruoxin murmured twice. Before Zhang Tie responded, Jiang Ruoxin had taken in a deep breath as she bottomed up. Closely after that, she put her arms around Zhang Tie’s neck as she kissed Zhang Tie’s lips, eyes closed...

When the two people were immersed in it, a thunder-like battle qi roared and broke the sky in the shape of a berserk golden dragon, shocking the rest of the city...

...

God helped those who helped themselves. After Zhang Tie traveled more than half a year in Dragon Emperor City, he finally discovered that heavenly shadow-demon knight one month ago.

Of course, shadow demons were variable. However, Zhang Tie’s lotus-flower eyes were like a devil-identifying mirror which could reflect all the shadow demons in front of Zhang Tie.

When Zhang Tie found the right opportunity, he applied a master-level hiding skill aided by his invisible shen bead. As a result, his hiding effect was even greater than that of red and blue devils.

Even when Zhang Tie reached 10 m away from the heavenly shadow demon knight, he was still not discovered.

It was more like an earth-shaking assassination after an assassin fixed his target or prey; instead of being a fair face-to-face battle...

When Zhang Tie launched a sudden strike, his Shackle of Bloody Chakra, Deity-Killing Sword and Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist acted onto the heavenly shadow demon knight at the same time who was hiding outside Dragon Emperor City in the identity of a rich businessman.

Such an amazing strike severely inflicted that heavenly shadow demon knight almost in a split second. Meanwhile, the faint qi of Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist rushed into the sky, shocking the entire city...
