Chapter 195 Grilled Buttered Corn (c)

Translated by Gumihou

The Imperial College was pretty famous within the Imperial Capital. Pretty much anyone, especially Cultivators, would know where it was.

[1] Tan-Tai Chu halted above the College’s airspace and looked down at the many people hurrying about beneath her. For her to find a single [2] ant among these bugs, would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. After some thought, she decided to just force pressure down onto the entire school and coerce someone into talking.

To her, the Imperial College was just one of the many Cultivation schools in the Ninth Realm. If not for the Tribulation, she would not come to this place herself and would never have heard of this college. Since she has condescended to come, the head of the school would not refuse to speak to her.

As expected, once she forced her aura out, the entire school shook and students ran here and there trying to investigate the matter, [2] looking even more like a bunch of upset bugs.

Eventually, the head of the school himself came out to see the girl in green robes floating over the College.

“Third Miss?” Elder Gu looked at her with some surprise. “Why are you here?”

[1] Tan-Tai Chu looked at him, “You know me?”

“I have seen Third Miss from afar,” admitted Elder Gu.

“Good, since you are here, you can do something for me. There is a person within this College with the same face as me. Bring her here,” said [1] Tan-Tai Chu coldly. There was no mistaking her commanding tone.

Elder Gu’s face pinched. He might be part of the Enforcer and her grandfather one of the elders of the organisation, but that did not make him her servant. He could not maintain a smiling face at her obviously domineering behaviour.

The rest of the elders did not look please either. That child had ignored all of them and impudently ordered Elder Gu to seize someone from their school. Not only did she not give face to Elder Gu, but she was actively ignoring them too.

“Who are you? To dare come to our College and seize our people as you like. Clearly, you don’t put any of us old fellows in your eyes!” sneered the Dean.

He was the type to admire the younger generation and sought to encourage them to his best ability. However, there was no need for him to show a good face for arrogant little witches like this.

“Since you’ve admitted to being an old fellow, why should I respect you?” the girl’s eyes glanced lazily over their presence, clearly not thinking that the elders before her were anything more than mere bugs to step on. “It can’t be easy to set up a Cultivation school like this. If you don’t want it destroyed, then scram out of my way.”

To dare tell the Dean to scram!

The expressions of the elders hardened. They were about to teach this young girl a lesson when a bent old man suddenly appeared next to her.

A chill went up their spine when they realised they could not perceive his Cultivation strength! In fact, if they were close their eyes… they could not even feel this old man’s presence.

“If you wish to do something, I can keep miss company,” said the old man with a little cough.

What kind of domineering line is that!?

“Though your Cultivation base may be higher than us, this is the Ninth Realm. You are no better than us and there are only two of you. There’s no guarantee that we will lose,” Elder Feng declared.

“If any of you dare to hurt even a strand of the Third Miss’s hair, every single person from this College who enter the Eight Realm will receive retribution from us,” said the old man lightly.

Elder Gu’s eyes narrowed, “As Enforcers, you dare attack the people you’ve sworn to protect?”

“If you do not believe me, you may try me.”

The old man’s words were gently said, unlike the girl’s arrogant commands, but both exuded a contempt that made the Dean and the elders grit their teeth. After having lived to this great age, this was the first time they encounter such arrogant people!

“So, this is the much-lauded Enforcer,” snapped Elder Feng. [2] “So much for a group that protects the Ninth Realm, you’re just a bunch of arrogant people who think you are above the people of the Ninth Realm!”

The girl in brilliant green clothes scowled, “Uncle Wang, don’t quarrel with them anymore. There’s a girl here with the same face as me. Just find her and take her away.”

The old man did not say anything but immediately left her side to carry out her instructions.

Below them, Shiyu was standing with the bystanders and realised that this girl in green was probably after her. However, those Divine Transformation people were standing too far away for her to hear what they were saying.

Nevertheless, it cannot be anything good.

Her companions felt the same and said, “Why don’t you go hide first. I have a feeling that person is going to do something drastic.”

They did not need words to understand the pinched and angry looks on the elders’ faces after all.

“You’re right,” said Shiyu.

[4] She was about to leave when the old man beside the girl disappeared. Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed and she found herself being lifted into the air.

“Third Miss, I’ve found her,” [4] the old man’s voice was placid, as though he was handing her a peach instead of a struggling girl.

Tan-Tai Chu narrowed her eyes at Shiyu, her expression a little dangerous.

[4] In the first place, she hated wearing the same clothes as others. To have someone wearing the same face as hers, she hated it so much that she wanted to just tear the skin off that face.

“Let’s go, we’re taking her back,”

“Don’t even think about it!” the Dean’s body flashed forward and blocked them. “She is a student of this Imperial College, not someone you can just take away.”

“Scram!” the girl scolded impatiently. “Don’t refuse a toast to drink a forfeit.”

Elder Feng, the Liu brothers all followed and surrounded them. Even Elder Gu stood on the side of his friends against the Enforcers.

“People who don’t know how high the sky is are really disgusting,” the woman scanned them contemptuously. Suddenly, a long sword appeared in her hand. The light shining from the sword dazzled everyone’s eyes. It was clearly no ordinary sword.

When she swung the sword, the elders managed to avoid its blows, [4] but its strike was so powerful that the ground below ruptured at the force. Nearby buildings collapsed, students struck by the aura suffered cuts on their bodies and several even died!

This was the last straw for the Dean. His innocent students! This youngster was too ruthless, to think that she would carelessly strike at his ordinary students…!

“Just die!” he snarled, lunging for the girl.

However, the girl was not at all afraid. To her, dealing with more ants just made things more annoying, therefore… [4]

“Uncle Wang, kill them!”

“Yes!” the old man took out a jade pendant and crushed it in his hands. The Dao of Suppression was suddenly lifted from his body and his strength began to recover.

The elders surrounding them began to shake as his powers continued to climb. Someone cried, “Nascent Formation!”

Indeed, he was now the most powerful person under the Ninth Realm

The small gathering of Divine Transformation elders could not fight him, a whole school of Divine Transformation masters would lose to him!

The Dean gritted his teeth and his mind flitted for ways to get out of this situation when Shiyu cried out, “I’ll go with you! Don’t kill innocent people like this!”

However, she was ignored.

The girl turned her identical face to look at Shiyu and said, “Leave no survivors. Even if it’s a crime, I will take responsibility.”

 

[Gumihou: Okay, girl in green is a complete douchebag. She will be girl in green from now on because I don’t like her.]

[1] Unnecessary Faffing: Replace ‘Girl in Green Robes’ with ‘Tan-Tai Chu’. At least when things are in her perspective.

[2] Added Detail for Dramatic Purpose: Continue with all the disparaging ‘bug’ remarks

[3] Adjusted Sentence Structure for Dramatic Purpose: Not sure why it wasn’t in dialogue form. Loses points for immediacy.

[4] Some Creative Licence Taken: to give the story a little more detail to make it sound more natural and flow more smoothly.
