Good Luck! Flasher-Chan!

Good Luck! Flasher-Chan!

I got the Spirit Wine and baodont grab, you assholes! Shilong Seireishang, or Sei to most, shouted as she bullied her way to her seat, her friends handsAnd some random ass who wanted a free mealgrasping for her bounty. Sei kicked the freeloaders hand away, and the crowd jeered at the yelp. Sei had drawn the short straw, and had gotten sent on the snack run.

She hip-checked Xishi, who had her nose buried in a scroll again, and the smut-lover went sprawling as Sei slammed into her seat.

Her stick in the mud friend hissed in irritation, and glared back at Sei only to catch a bao to the face.

Theyre starting soon, right? Sei asked one of her other companions, as she shoved a pork dumpling into her mouth.

Fi minit Ahd reckon. Jingyi said in her thick Wind Song Crag accent, the woman taking a bottle of wine. Her arm was covered in a large tattoo of The Bird, the fierce deity flying free. Accents were common; Soaring Heavens Isle recruited women from all over the continent, and they had the widest recruiting pool of any sect.

Sei took a pull of booze and looked around the Skypeak Arena. The stands were full of disciples, each one organized into their respective wind. The North, South, East and West Wind stands were things of beauty, rising above the arena. But there was a fifth standone that was a bit closer to the action, and a bit less opulent. A stand Sei was currently occupying.

The face Soaring Heavens Isle presented to the world were the girls of the Four Winds. Women with high potential to cultivate the combat arts of Soaring Heavens Isle. They were the ones that took missions outside the floating archipelago, and they were the ones who went to tournaments outside their home.

The rest of them? They were Midship girls. While the Four Winds won the glory, the Midships did the maintenance and construction of the Skyships, as well as most of the menial labour. They were the outer sect that other sects had.

While the Four Winds fairies were normally beautiful, elegant, ethereal creaturesthe Midships decidedly werent. They probably acted more like mortal sailors than a proper woman. But thats just how the Isle did things. They were a rowdy bunch, the Midships, and Sei wouldnt have it any other way.

Though, the only reason they were allowed to be so slovenly right now is because the Rising Fairy Tournament was more a private affair, with only the most trusted allies in attendance.

It wasnt like being in the Midships was shameful. They still had access to most of the sect, and their Senior Sisters occasionally ran seminars Or laid down the law when they got too uppity.

And while it was hard work, they all had the opportunity to advance. The Storm Wings Or the Disaster Wings as they had once been called, Drunken-Fist Bailu and Seiyu the Maw, were their two currently most famous members. They rose up from the bottom and attracted the notice of Elder Minyan. There were still legends of the two of them, even though they had been part of the East Wind for Forty years.

And now they were servants of the Young Master. Talk about moving up in the world. Elder Minyans own flesh and blood, who had disarmed Chunhua in less than a minute. The brat went from demanding to be called Aunt to the man patting her on the shoulder like she was his junior sister. Sei wouldnt mind serving under a man like that.

In both ways. He was a big boy, and Sei liked.

Sei sat back and relaxed. She wasnt competing todayshe had tried her luck the last time and gotten stomped into the dirt in the first round. Today, she just got to heckle and cheer with the rest of them.

And then.. Then it was time to start. The giant drums started pounding. Slowly at first, then picking up speeda sound every girl who lived on this isle knew.

Beat to Quarters. A call to action. A battle was about to begin.

The Midships began pounding their fists into the stands, while the Four Winds rose to their feet.

Fireworks shot into the air, sparkling and thundering with every colour of the rainbow to form into a massive bird; The Bird. The progenitor of their Sect. The whistling bang of fire was its cry, and it flapped its mighty wings as it ascended, turning into a brilliant ball of flames as bright as the sun.

A squadron of four cultivators shot over the top of the arena, cracking booms in their wake as they shattered the very air with their passing.

And then, from the sky, descended Senior Sister Shuling, Master of the Watch. Her bright pink hair was as vibrant as cherry blossoms, as was the grin on her face, but every Midships girl felt their posture straighten.

Nothing got past The Master of the Watch when she came down for inspection.

Soaring Heaven! Fly Free! She shouted.

Fly True! Sei and the rest of the Midships roared back.

Shuilings smile brightened. We gather once more my sisters, on this auspicious day Shuling began, but Sei mostly tuned it out. It was the same every time. Praise the Bird, Praise Soaring Heavens Isle Sect, remember the sacrifices of our forebears. The responses were pretty rote, the drums rolling in time with the shouts.

...and now, we get to the main event! The Rising Fairy tournament! A chance to be noticed, and rise! Will the Midships catch an Elders eye, and produce a new star? Will the Four Winds rise ever higher? Now is our chance to find outfor the Four Winds, and their Guest are watching!

That got Seis attention, as the Elders stepped from their box into open air.

You all know them! Tianzhe Minyan, the Falcon of the East Wind!

She was the very epitome of icy beauty, Elder Minyan. Her eyes roved over the crowd, searching for the worthy. Everybody wished they could be so beautiful and strong.New novel chapters are published on

Han Song, the Hawk of the West Wind! The fiery womans face was a stern mask, judging them all. Her aura was a fierce hawk, a predator ready to pounce.

Baishi Lili, the Crane of the South Wind! The calm, whimsical smile of Elder Lili was inscrutable to them all, but seemed especially amused. She was a woman who did as she pleased when she pleased.

The Eyes of the North Wind! The Indomitable Condor, Wuting Xiaobao!The massive form of Wuting Xiaobao, was a step behind. The chosen Disciple of Elder Dongmei. The womans face was completely stone today, her broad arms folded across her chest.

And finally, our most esteemed guest! The son of Tianzhe MinyanShen Rou!

And then and then there was him. The Young Master.

He stood on top of a cloud, his hands behind his back, and his hair waving in the breeze. His complexion was like soft resin, his skin seemed to glow, and his eyes observed them kindly.

Heavens he looked good up there.

The crowd, especially the Midships, erupted. Most of them went nuts. They wanted a reaction. They wanted him to look at them.

Young Master! Over here!

Young Master! Show us your chest!

Whats your favourite food, Ill make it for you!

Young Master!

And then the next bout began.

=====================================

The day continued like that. Some of the fights were better than others, and after each the Elders would critique the performance. I was surprisingly involved, and gave the best answers I could.

Some of the women got noticed by their Elders. Some of them got a make a note for Sister Dongmei.

Chunhua fought near the end of the day, and crushed her opponent in a single move. I ended up smiling and waving at her, and the girl puffed up with pride.

Oh? Going after my niece? Elder Lili teased. Truly, you are the son of Shen Yu.

My intentions are pure. I refuted, my face flushed, and Elder Lili laughed. She is skilled for her age, though.

Mmmm. My great, great, great niece, isnt bad, but shes still wet behind the ears. Elder Lili said.

She just introduced herself as your niece though? I asked.

Too many greats is just a mouthful. Elder Lili replied.

The first day ended just before dinner, and then I was back at home. Bailu and Seiyu were back to their normal selves, which was nice, and Big D Big D had prepared us dinner.

I mean the roasted worms were better than the rats I ate in Crimson Crucible City.

====================================

The second day, I brought along my rooster. We did the whole song and dance of entering the gate, though I got waved through this time quickly. This time I did stop and talk to some of the girls, asking how they were enjoying themselves, before heading to the box.

Xiaobao was back today, but her face turned crimson as soon as she looked at me, and refused to talk to me all day.

It was a little worrying, to be honest.

At least Elder Song was happy. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw Big D.

So this is the man you were so happy to see? Elder Lili asked as Elder Song swiftly defeated my cock. The rooster collapsed, flaccid, under her ministrations.

Is he not a magnificent, obedient beast? Elder Song demanded. Ah, you are taking care of him well, Rou. The luster of his feathers is very nice! You have my praise!

Elder Lili just laughed.

=============================

And that was how the rest of the week went. We watched the tournament, ate some pretty good food, and discussed the combatants. The Fights definitely got more intense as the tournament went on, with techniques starting to fly.

At the end of the second day, I got to see where they made the Skyships in the bowels of the Isle. Honestly, it looked a lot like a mortal ship building operation save for the fact that the trees they used were harder than steel, were reinforced with formations, and had a big hunk of rock in the center of them.

They mostly used hand tools, powered by cultivation, and the slipway exited into open sky.

A bunch of women also had to put their shirts back on when they realised I was thereSawing through the massive trees was evidently hot work.

It was interesting, but I could definitely see the limitations compared to a grown ship. The combat skyships needed a lot of energy to keep running.

==============================

And then, it was the last day of the tournament. I had actually gotten a one word answer out of Xiaobao when I asked about a technique one of the contestants used, and then the woman instantly looked away from me and refused to speak again.

The finals were Chunhua versus a really good woman from the East Wind, Zou Lin. Their battle looked like something ripped out of dragon ball, with how they zipped around and launched thousands of attacks a second. Both of them could fly, and their swords were blurs.

But in the end, Chunhua lost, being forced to the ground at sword point by the much more mature looking woman. Zou Lin had dark blue hair and was stunningly beautiful.

And with that, the tournament was over. The winner was raised on a platform to stand before us, and was congratulated on her victory. She got some pretty standard tournament rewards. A bunch of pills, a cultivation manual, time in the special library the works.

In addition to these rewards, per the Rising Fairy Tournamentspeak to us. What does your heart desire? Minyan asked, her voice projected all over the arena.

Zou Lin was the epitome of ethereal fairy cultivator as she bowed. This one would request a pointer from each of the Elders, in the nature of the blade. the woman said, her head low.

Minyan and Lili nodded in approval. Elder Song, however, huffed. You are part of my Wind; That you shall receive such after your victory is self-evident. I shall allow you to choose an additional reward. Elder Song declared.

Lin looked surprised, and seemed at a loss for what to choose, her eyes flicking over us and then landing on me.

She blushed slightly, then turned to Minyan.

Elder Minyan, this one humbly requests the company of your son to tonights celebrations. She saidwait, was she asking me out on a date?

Bailu, Seiyu, and Xiaobao all whipped their heads around to stare at the woman, their intent exploding off their bodies.

Zou Lin looked like she was about to piss herself, and was frozen in place but surprisingly, Minyans own power pushed them aside. She looked annoyed.

Minyans eye twitched. I see. That is a fine request, delivered like a proper lady. Rou. Accompany the winner of our tournament.

The crowd below erupted at Lins audacity and victory, while Lin smiled tentatively. I just felt a bit confused at the fact that I had apparently just been pimped out.

And that was how the tournament ended.
