Chapter 199: Flipping Face is Faster than Flipping a Book

“Didn’t Young Lord predict that there will be a Beast Tide attacking tonight? Why can’t we even see a shadow of one?”

There were many people standing on the city wall of the large city, led by a man in silver clothes with eyes as clean as moonlight.
He stood against the wind, his handsome face very calm.

Hearing someone ask the question below, he stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers to calculate, then said slowly: “The Beast Tide was intercepted by someone.”

His voice was clean and warm, clear and pleasant.

“What? Was intercepted by someone?” A red-haired young man beside him asked: “Eldest Brother, who can intercept a Beast Tide?”

The silver-clothed man pondered for a moment and said: “Lou Mu Yan.”

“Lou Mu Yan? Is that the woman who was rumoured to be amazing and seemingly divine?” The red-haired young man’s tone didn’t question it, but he didn’t quite believe it inwardly either.

“I received news tonight that their team came out of the refuge city to travel at night.
It seems to be true.” Another slightly older man said.

In addition to the silver-clothed man’s group, there were teams from many other kingdoms on the city wall as well.
They all revealed confusion and disbelief.
Even if Lou Mu Yan really had some abilities, it was still impossible to lead her team to battle a Beast Tide right?

Even Lord Luo here, from a superpower kingdom, probably wouldn’t dare provoke a Beast Tide easily either, so how could a little girl who still smelt of one’s mother’s milk1 dare be so bold?

Luo Ye was also a little curious about the woman named Lou Mu Yan.
He sure wanted to see just how they intercepted the Beast Tide.

“We’ll know once we go and take a look.” He said lightly.

He flew down the city wall and his figure soon disappeared into the night.

The people in the same team didn’t hesitate either.
They jumped off the city wall and leapt in the direction where Luo Ye had disappeared in.

“Let’s also follow and go have a look.” Someone on the city wall suggested.

“What should we do if we encounter a Beast Tide? I don’t believe that a person from a small kingdom named Lou Mu Yan can really deal with a Beast Tide.” Someone said.

“What’re you afraid of, even Lord Luo has gone.
Even if we encounter a Beast Tide, with him there, we can still retreat safely.” Another said excitedly.

“Forget it.
When the time comes, we’ll only fight for ourselves when we meet a Beast Tide.
Once we’re scattered, who’d still take care of who.” Some people refused.

In the end, only a portion of the Sword Masters who were bolder jumped off the city wall and followed in the footsteps of Lord Luo and the others.
The remaining didn’t have any heart to rest either, and stood on the city wall to await for news.

When Luo Ye and his team members arrived at a canyon, they saw a scene that shocked them.

Hundreds of Demonic Beasts ahead of them were constantly charging towards a centre point as if they didn’t want their lives, and several silhouettes kept flashing about, quickly reaping the lives of the Demonic Beasts.

By the moonlight, they saw a woman with a slender figure and ghost-like footwork controlling ten golden flying swords to fly among the Demonic Beasts ceaselessly.

Wherever the flying swords passed, the roaring Demonic Beasts would fall one after another.
Each sword was deadly, and all the stabs were at their vital points.

There were also five men in the group of Demonic Beasts.
Although their forms weren’t as ghost-like as hers, but their speed in killing Demonic Beasts wasn’t inferior to hers at all.
Judging from the level of proficiency, this wasn’t the first time they did such a thing at all.

“Isn’t this too exaggerated?”

The red-haired young man who followed was dumbfounded and watched the woman control the flying swords to kill Demonic Beasts while bombarding Demonic Beasts with her fists to death.
What was even more shocking was that the Tier 5 Demonic Beasts, under her fists, couldn’t withstand even a single blow, and each slam of a fist killed one.

Even when she faced a few leading Tier 6 Demonic Beasts, she still fought fiercely using her tough flesh, her ink-coloured hair flying freely, uninhibited, and wild.
Although her movements were quite violent, but it actually gave people a pleasing sense of contrast.

“Was—Was this still a woman?” The young man swallowed.

Weren’t all women supposed to be delicate and beautiful, gentle, and pleasant? At least he had never seen such a violent woman before.
But why did an indescribable good feeling about her rise in his heart.

The women who had appeared in front of him had never been like this before.
He actually didn’t like those delicate and weak women at all, so he immediately rubbed his chin and looked at the woman in the group of Demonic Beasts with interest in his eyes.

This woman was much more interesting than rumoured!

Lou Mu Yan had long known that people were approaching after Mo Yan’s reminder, so Xue Xue had already been recollected by her and Bing Ji had also returned to the appearance of a Seven-Coloured Parrot.

When the strangers arrived, they were almost at the end of their slaughter.
After all, Xue Xue’s ability in group fights was simply too strong and those Demonic Beasts had no resistance at all, all drained of blood essence by him.

“Lord Luo, should we go help?” The Sword Masters of the other kingdoms who followed were also shocked by the scene in front of them, but seeing that there were still a hundred or so Demonic Beasts that hadn’t been killed yet, it also raised in them a feeling to rush in and snatch some killings.

Luo Ye’s expression was very light and indifferent, and he didn’t have any intention to open his mouth to answer.

The red-haired young man standing beside him turned his head to glance at the man and said with ridicule: “Do you think they need help?”

These people wanted to use his Eldest Brother to snatch the other party’s Demonic Beasts—they were truly indulging in the wildest fantasy.

The man chocked and seeing that Lord Luo had no intention of doing anything at all, he smiled in embarrassment, then stepped back and stopped talking.

Facing the red-haired young boy who’s from a superpower kingdom, as well as Lord Luo’s younger brother, he didn’t dare provoke him at all.

The red-haired young man snorted and turned his head to continue to watch Lou Mu Yan fight.

A quarter of an hour later, the last hundred Demonic Beasts fell to the ground and died, and the corpses of Demonic Beasts surrounded Lou Mu Yan who stood in the centre, spreading a hundred metres.

Lou Mu Yan’s technique was accurate, fast, and ruthless.
Each time she killed, she headed straight towards the position of the Demonic Beast Crystal Core, so the Crystal Cores of the Demonic Beasts she had killed were all taken away.

Yun Zi Mo and the others didn’t have movement skills like her, so only after the group of beasts had all died did they start to clean up, while Xue Xue hid underground, stretching his vines to quietly suck blood essence.

“Have you all seen enough?” Lou Mu Yan saw that the group didn’t reveal any greedy actions of snatching from them after arriving, but after they finished watching the show, they still didn’t leave, so she couldn’t resist asking lightly.

Luo Ye turned to look at her and an ethereal and clear voice poured out from his lips, “Excuse us for disturbing Miss!”

Lou Mu Yan was dazed for a moment.
She didn’t expect the other party to be so polite.
Most importantly, the other party’s voice sounded so nice—one must know that she was a complete sound-con2.

She couldn’t help but feel an uncontrollable closeness towards that kind of clean and nice voice.
Also, because of the other person’s voice, she developed an inexplicable favourable opinion for that handsome and unparalleled man opposite.

When she raised her eyes to meet those pure crystal-like eyes, however, Lou Mu Yan was stunned.
It sure was a pity that someone with such a nice voice was blind!

She couldn’t help but sigh slightly, “No problem!”

She could see that the other party was blind, but she didn’t know whether it was from birth or because of a disease.
They were strangers that met by chance, so it was naturally impossible for her to take the initiative to inquire and treat him simply because the other party’s voice was nice.

“Why is Miss sighing?” Luo Ye’s voice was gentle and slow, as clear as spring water.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at him lightly and said: “Just feeling that it was a pity, so I sighed.”

“Pity what?” The red-haired young man asked curiously.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at him, and her attitude took a big turn, “What does this have to do with you?”

“…”

The young man was startled and didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
How could this woman flip her face faster than flipping a book?

1an idiom describing someone who’s still young and inexperienced.

2people who like people whose voices sound really pleasing.
This word takes its own spin from the word 妹控 (mèi kòng) ‘sister complex’ aka ‘sis-con’ (that Lou Mu Yan’s elder twin brother, Lou Mu Ting, has lol) and the word ‘控’ (kòng) is basically the loan word from Japanese.
The one used here is 声控 (shēng kòng) If you search this up, it actually means something like ‘sound control’, to do with music and sounds etc.
But in this case, it’s ‘sound-con/complex’.
There’s also ‘appearance-con/complex’ (颜控 yán kòng) which, rather obviously, means people who love good looks.
