Volume 1: Wudao Xiantian Chapter 20: A Fine Horse is Like a Dragon

  The next morning, the whole city of Liu Zhou was bustling with activity. The streets were crowded with people coming and going, and many young ladies from prominent families pushed open their windows to look out, only to see the three young masters from the great families riding by in groups of two or three, each one looking dignified and majestic, dressed in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, with precious swords at their waists and long bows on their backs, galloping swiftly through the streets, leaving behind only the clear sound of horseshoes.

  "Look, look! Those are several young masters of the Fang family, and Fang Hong is among them, as well as Fang Du! Wow, the young masters of the Ye family have also come out!"

  "Fang Fang, you're being foolish again. These young masters from noble families, how could they possibly look at us? They've already got their eyes on someone else, either engaged to another family's daughter or have had their marriages arranged since childhood. If it weren't for the Hunting Festival, it would be hard to even catch a glimpse of them on an ordinary day. I heard that even their maidservants are more valuable than us..."

  "Cut, people just aren't infatuated with flowers, they're just a bit envious, I think to become the young mistress of one of the three major families, you have to start from childhood... Wow, the young master of the Zhou family has also come out... Strange, the young master of the Zhou family looks so mature, like he's in his thirties or forties... Wow, that one is even older, almost fifty years old?"

  Zhou Shiwen, who was on the street below, looked up at the attic with anger in his eyes, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed: "I'm only 15 years old this year, not 50!"

  The girl upstairs stuck out her tongue and excitedly shouted: "Look, Mr. Fang Chen has arrived, so handsome! Third Master Chen!" The pink handkerchief in the girl's hand fell from the attic and slid across a white-clad young man's cheek.

  That white-clad youth rode a white horse, with skin as fair as jade, handsome to the point of being somewhat otherworldly, even women envied his looks. With a smile on his face, he took out a handkerchief and sniffed it lightly before casually putting it away in his sleeve, exuding an air of elegance.

  The girl on the attic let out a soft cry and actually fainted from excitement.

  This young man in white is the third young master of the Fang family, Fang Chen. He is a outstanding figure among his peers and is as famous as Zhou Shiwen of the Zhou family and Ye Xu of the Ye family in Liuzhou City. They are all geniuses!

  Zhou Shiwen gave Fang Chen a sideways glance, then spat out a wad of thick phlegm and muttered in a low voice: "You pale-faced kid! What I hate the most is other people's faces being whiter than mine!"

  "It's not Fang's face being white, but rather Zhou brother's face is too dark."

  Fang Chen listened and smiled, waving the folding fan in his hand: "I'm afraid that in the entire Liu Zhou City, it's hard to find someone with a darker face than Brother Zhou."

  Zhou Shiwen's face turned red with rage, his whiskers bristling with anger. "Is it hot outside? You're fanning yourself all day, pretending to be some kind of elegant guest! Don't fan the stench from your body over here!"

  Fang Chen chuckled and said, "The weather isn't hot, but I've cultivated the Nine Yang Blazing Fire God Technique to its ninth peak. My true energy is as fierce as fire, so even in the coldest winter months, I'd still need to fan myself to cool down."

  Zhou Shiwen's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, chuckling: "Little white face, you're also about to enter the martial world's pre-heavenly stage? Why don't we have a match? Let's see whether the Fang family's Nine Yang Fierce Fire Technique is more powerful or my Zhou family's Hou Tu Ba Ti Technique is stronger!"

  A cold glint flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, and a strong fighting spirit was born. He smiled and said: "A competition? On the Hundred Savage Mountain, you and I have plenty of opportunities! However, I heard that Brother Zhou has been defeated by Ye Shaobao three times, and compared to Brother Zhou, I'd rather fight Ye Shaobao! What makes me regretful is that my Nine Yang Fierce Fire God Technique has reached perfection, while Ye Shaobao, who was on par with me, has become a useless person. Not being able to witness Ye Shaobao's prowess during the Hunting Festival is truly a pity..."

  Zhou Shiwen snorted, looking at him with disdain, and said: "You little white face, before Ye Shaobao was abolished, how dare you say this? I'm indeed not his opponent, but I dare to stand in front of him and challenge him! And you, only know how to speak cold words after he's been abolished, shameless scoundrel!"

  Fang Chen was furious in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, and slightly swung the folding fan in his hand.

  "You two gentlemen might have forgotten, but in addition to Ye Shaobao, there are also the Three Heroes of Ye Manor!"

  Two fine horses came galloping up, Ye Bin and Ye Feng sat on the horseback, rushed to the two men's face, reined in the horses.

  Ye Feng smiled proudly and said, "You two, Ye Xu has become a useless person, a horse slave who sweeps the stables! But my family's talents are endless, and there are countless people better than him! This time at the Hunting Festival, it will be my two brothers who will be your opponents!"

  "Are you two enough?"

  Zhou Shiwen curled his lip, turned his head to one side and spat: "You're not even worthy, it's more like calling out Big Brother Ye Qin!"

  Fang Chen's gaze swept over Ye Bin and Ye Feng, his face as calm as a spring breeze, nodding with a smile: "Two gentlemen, Brother Zhou is right, you are indeed not worthy."

  Ye Bin and Ye Feng's faces turned pale, sitting on their horses, unsure of what to say.

  Zhou Shiwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a mediocre horse slowly walking towards him from the end of the street, with a blue-shirted young man sitting on it, slowly rushing forward.

  Zhou Shiwen's mount was a fine horse from the Western Regions, a fiery steed named Huotan Colt, with a body as red as fire. Fang Chen's horse was also of noble breed, called Zhao Ye Yu Qilin, extremely famous and valuable.

  Ye Bin and Ye Feng's mounts were also top-notch fine horses, without a single stray hair.

  The only horse of the blue-shirted youth was a motley-colored, dry and thin, sickly-looking animal that seemed as if it would be blown away by the wind along with its rider.

  "Leaf Shao Bao!"

  Zhou Shiwen's eyes converged, staring fixedly at the blue-shirted youth.

  Fang Chen's pupils constricted, he licked his dry lips, his fingernails turned white with tension, as if facing a great enemy, and slowly spat out the words: "Ye! Xuan!"

  Ye Xu slowly walked up to the two of them, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and cupped his hands together in greeting: "Gentlemen."

  Zhou Shiwen suddenly burst out laughing: "Shao Bao, you've finally arrived. I thought that after becoming a useless person, you'd become a gutless waste of space too!"

  "As long as my name is still on the Ye family tree, I will definitely participate in this Hunting Festival!" Ye Xuan said calmly.

  Fang Chen waved his fan and sneered: "Brother Ye's horse is quite unique, it can be called a rare treasure!"

  "Brother Fang is laughing at me."

  Ye Xu shrugged, somewhat helplessly. Although he lived in the Ye family's horse farm, all the fine horses had been taken by other members of the Ye family, leaving only this inferior horse.

  He had no intention of riding a horse, but Ma Sanbao told him that this horse looked mediocre, but it was actually a rare breed with an extremely loud name called "Gan Chai Jiao".

  It is said that the dragon is lustful, no matter what race the other party is, as long as it is a female, the dragon will forcibly abduct the other party. This emaciated horse is the result of the dragon and a mare!

  Three men rode together, heading out of the city. This "dry fire python" horse was lean and mean, baring its teeth at Cong Fangchen's and Zhou Shiwen's fine horses, letting out a loud snort, its skeletal face looking even more ferocious and menacing.

  Unlike other horses, this guy has a mouthful of small steel teeth, sharp and sharp, not like a horse, but rather like a hungry wolf!

  Zhou Shiwen couldn't help but laugh: "Shao Bao, your horse's temper is quite big, indeed worthy of being called a fine product!"

  Ye Xue couldn't help but laugh and said, "This horse of mine only eats meat, not grass. Every day it needs to eat fifty kilograms of top-grade beef. It won't even smell second-rate beef. Indeed, it's a bit fierce."

  "This son of a bitch eats more than I do!"

  Ye Bin and Ye Feng were left standing in the original place, furious to the point of trembling all over. Although Ye Xu had already become a "waste", Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen still attached great importance to him, but they didn't even give a glance to the two of them, who were supposed to be the three heroes of the Ye family!

  What an insult!

  Ye Bin and Ye Feng exchanged a glance, their hearts understanding each other. They immediately urged their horses forward, galloping wildly towards Ye Xu!

  They rushed to Ye Xu's side, and the two horses turned their heads at the same time, charging towards Ye Xu!

  "Take your horse and kill it in the street, let you make a big fool of yourself, see how you can still be so arrogant!"

  Two fine horses had not yet approached when "Gan Chai Jiao" suddenly stood up on its hind legs, turned its horse head sideways and let out a loud neigh. Its two hind hooves flew up and kicked the bellies of the two fine horses heavily!

  Ye Bin and Ye Feng's horses suddenly rose into the air, crashing into the houses on both sides of the street, smashing doors and windows, causing houses to collapse, and even the two people on horseback were thrown off, landing with a thud!

  Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen couldn't help but reveal their surprise, staring blankly at this seemingly inferior and emaciated horse. They were shocked beyond measure, and even their Firestone Colt and Shining Night Jade Qilin quietly retreated a step back, not daring to ride alongside this thin horse.

  Zhou Shiwen ate and said: "Shaobao, your horse is very spirited!"

  Ye Xue was also surprised, Ma Sanbao said that this dry firework was born to the mother dragon and the mother horse, he thought it was a joke at first, but now it seems that there is a possibility!

  Fang Chen sneered, "What's the use of having great strength? The most important thing for a good horse is its leg power! You two gentlemen, dare you to compare the leg power of your mounts and see who can reach the ancestral temple outside the city first?"

  "Compare if you dare, afraid you won't win? Ha!"

  Zhou Shiwen clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, shooting towards the city gate like an arrow off the string. Fang Chen cursed under his breath and hastily rode after him in pursuit.

  Recommendation tickets are still a few dozen away from one thousand, and when they reach one thousand, there will definitely be an update!
