Chapter 320 An Unexpected Alliance.
"Before you think you consider yourself on my level, learn to control your bladder first."
Yang Wei pointed at the wet spot on Xu Haocheng's pants and grinned wickedly.
Flustered, Xu Haocheng dropped his sword and covered the wet area with both hands, feeling utterly humiliated in front of not one, not two, but four women!
He Yaqi sighed heavily, covering her face with her hand.
"How do I even defend you at this point?"
None of them could understand the intense killing intent Xu Haocheng had endured. All they saw were the two men staring at each other before Xu Haocheng suddenly wet himself.
They're fortunate that I, Yang Wei, am very elegant and magnanimous. Otherwise, I would have let my killing intent loose on the red-haired beauty and enjoyed watching her pee herself. But, being the decent individual that I am, I'll restrain myself.
Looking extremely pleased, Yang Wei nodded thoughtfully.
Huang Xiuwen seemed unfazed by the embarrassing incident.
She took a defensive stance, holding her sword horizontally with her right hand on the hilt and her left on the blade.
"Disciples He and Xu, stand back. I will deal with these arrogant trespassers myself!"
Her eyes narrowed and her mouth set in a stern line.

This was her intense focus!
Yang Wei sighed and held up his hands in a placating gesture.
"Calm down, I was only joking. We're not really trespassing. I came here on the orders of Fairy Su Meirong, who has business with me. The three of us are actually cultivators from the Northern Continent."
The mage knew his words wouldn't be enough, so he produced the Su Family Seal from his storage ring, holding it out as proof.
If these "friends" of ours are truly affiliated with the Godless Sky Empire, this seal should surely convince them.
That, was Yang Wei's belief.
Huang Xiuwen lowered her sword and sheathed it.
"You're from the Beast Continent?"
Yang Wei tilted his head. "Beast Continent?"
People from the Eastern Continent were known for calling other continents by what they were famous for.
They called the Northern Continent the Beast Continent because of its many spirit beasts.
They did this because they didn't care about other continents and often didn't even know the cardinal directions of the continents, including their own. Some would simply call their territory the Supreme Continent for simplicity.
Huang Xiuwen stared at Mu Lingxi for a long moment.
Could she be a soul fragment of the Record-Bearing Heavenly Mother? The one Hallmaster Demon-Sky mentioned? I heard Supreme Elder Crimson Star did a destiny search and said they would arrive on our continent in a few days.
This time, her eyes weren't filled with animosity──they were just calm and neutral.
"Uh, what?" Mu Lingxi uttered, blinking several times under the uncomfortable stare.
With a cold harrumph, Huang Xiuwen said, "There have been several spies from the Beast Continent who came here, and they've all been killed. You're fortunate to have introduced yourselves properly, or you'd have ended up like them."
She turned to Yang Wei.
"You must know Fairy Su Meirong has been sealed. So what are you doing in the Great Wulong Forest?"
Yang Wei gave her a thumbs up and flashed a grin.
Huang Xiuwen walked closer to Mu Lingxi and abruptly bowed her head.
"I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE!"
Startled, Mu Lingxi responded, "Um, it's fine. Really."
Lifting her head and shaking it in disagreement, Huang Xiuwen wore a stern expression.
Mu Lingxi found it odd that she was trying to apologize while looking so terrifyingly serious.
The swordswoman spoke on.
"It isn't fine at all. As an elder of the Hall of Sacred Masters, I must take responsibility for my mistake!"
"Err..." Mu Lingxi was at a loss for words.
Desperately, Huang Xiuwen turned to Yang Wei, who was playfully caressing Mu Lin's soft thighs. She bowed her head dramatically again and stood at attention.
"Please, give me a chance to make amends!"
Casually, Yang Wei replied, "Your body will suffice."
Unfazed by his words, Huang Xiuwen tilted her head.
"My body? Do you wish for this elder to serve corporal punishment?"
Yang Wei's eyes half-closed in disappointment.
"N-, nevermind. It... was a... poorly used joke."
Mu Lin pressed her soft thighs against Yang Wei's head, as if wanting to squeeze it until it popped. She scolded, "It better be a joke!"
Yang Wei laughed playfully, "Naturally, honey. You know me."
There were polite individuals like Xu Haocheng and He Yaqi who would stay silent when lovers like Yang Wei and Mu Lin were in their own little world. Then there were others like Mu Lingxi who would respectfully avert their gaze, considering it none of their business.
Huang Xiuwen didn't fit into any of those categories.
"To slowly make up for our earlier actions. I and my disciples would like to join you on your journey as guards."
The swordswoman persisted in seeking acceptance from their guests.
"Although your group is highly capable, we, the cultivators of the Godless Star Record Sect, see this as a chance to learn and make amends. Perhaps after you finish in the Great Wulong Forest, we can also escort you to our Three Worlds Domain."
She was doing all this to make sure they didn't tarnish the sect's and the Empire's reputation. Attacking such important visitors was like a slap in the Empire's face.
Sigh~
Yang Wei realized there was no use in refusing the sword lady in front of him. She insisted on accompanying them, which, in a way, he actually desired.
"Alright. It's lovely to have you with us."
With a cheerful smile, he extended his hand for a handshake.
Huang Xiuwen firmly shook his hand.
"Excellent. I am Huang Xiuwen, a pleasure to meet you."
The way she gripped Yang Wei's hand almost gave him the impression of shaking hands with a man.
"You have such... strong hands."
"You smell very nice."
"Eh?"
