Chapter 21: Gamble

Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss 

“I want a rootless fruit.” Lei Yu Feng was just worrying about how to find this mysterious dragon Fen Wen who was heard of everywhere but had not a trace of a tail to be seen when he had unexpectedly came across him here. It truly was the aid of heaven.

“Alright.” Fen Wen straightforwardly replied: “But, the contents of the gamble will be up to me to decide.”

This one sentence made Lei Yu Feng hesitate.

In fact, Lei Yu Feng had not known what to gamble on either.

Su Qi Qi’s fluid glance slightly shifted, her full phoenix eyes lifted: “I heard Mister Fen has played the flute of all of China. This one will play one song, if Mister Fen can match the tune with the flute then it counts as your win, if not then it is a loss. Good?”

”played the flute of all of China” I thought at first it was courteously saying that his flute playing is really good, which it probably is, but after taking another look, I think it actually refers to the fact that he’s traveled and played a lot of songs before.

“You?” Lei Yu Feng could not maintain his calm and stared at Su Qi Qi.

Mo Wen Chen didn’t investigate Su Qi Qi’s past only once, and it seemed, aside from knowing a bit of medicine, she had no other talents.

“Exactly.” At this moment Su Qi Qi actually had a face of determination, within her phoenix eyes was resolute strength.

“You know if you lose, the consequence?” In the depths of Lei Yu Feng’s eyes was hidden anger.

“I know.” Su Qi Qi was a face of calm.

At worst it’ll be one death. But, Su Qi Qi actually had quite a bit of confidence in her guqin skill, even though this would force her reveal everything in front of them.

However, there was no other choice.

焦尾琴 : Jiao Wei is one of the four famous guqins of ancient China. I didn’t attempt to translate it to English because the characters seem to translate to Scorched Tail…

The Jiao Wei he has yearned for in his dreams!

“Mister, please.” Today Su Qi Qi wore a white garment without any decorations, and also didn’t wear any jewelry. Half her long hair fell on her shoulders, the hair on top of her head was coiled up using a slanted white jasper hairpin to hold in place. Simple and elegant, fresh and clean, her appearance was bright in others’ eyes.

Fen Wen couldn’t help but take an extra look at Su Qi Qi. Lightly nodded, he then sat without question on the opposing stage.

Without any superfluous words, Su Qi Qi lightly plucked a string: “Mister, let’s start.”

“Please.” Fen Wen was actually a model nobleman, completely modest.

Mo Wen Chen gave a grim laugh. Right now he was only watching Su Qi Qi. He would like to know what this woman would use to win back the rootless fruit.

Of course, this question, both Leng Yan and Lei Yu Feng wanted to know too.

Starting to pluck the strings, Su Qi Qi didn’t look at anyone.

It was precisely a performance of 《Ambush From Ten Sides》 .

The rapid urgent sounds of chords. Jiao Wei was the most valuable treasure in the class of guqins and the sound of the strings was extremely accurate. The guqin below the delicate fingers actually produced the imposing aura of a mighty army.

Everyone present seemed to see rows of battalions stretching a thousand miles, the sound of troop horses neighing, a decisive battle was imminent, the weather stirred ominously. Their emotions seemed to be slowly heightened by this austere sound, suspended to an unbearable degree.

Just at this apprehensive moment, suddenly a rapid string sounded, “the silver bottle suddenly broke and burst forth water, horseman roared and dash forward with swords and spears”, a magnificent army with thousands of men swept the desert, sand blown by the wind wildly covered the heaven and earth and turned it colorless.

So much that it made people held their breath.

The guqin sound swayed gently in midst of kills, slashes and gallops, shaking one to the core; as the slender string surged, sword blows permeated the air, dreadful and horrifying.

Even Mo Wen Chen narrowed his eyes. This sort of imposing air, to be surrounded by magnificent army with thousands of men and horses, especially to Mo Wen Chen who grew up on the battlefield, the sound of this playing was unexpectedly pleasing..
