Chapter 425: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Yang Xuan was clad entirely in a golden armor and possessed bright and spirited eyes. But, at this moment, he had completely lost his composure and was petrified. Who did he just see? It was that native rascal!

Hu Qingcheng’s beautiful lips were opened so wide that an egg could fit inside. Her curved brows were raised and her red phoenix eyes were crackling with electric sparks!

How unexpected! The two were shocked out of their wits because they had never even dreamt of meeting him on the moon!

Just now, they were saying how the mind was calm if the eyes do not see—they were talking about how they were feeling much better during the couple of days on the moon and that they were no longer feeling agitated.

How could they have suspected that this native would appear immediately after they had finished speaking? It seemed they were destined to run into him everywhere both in heaven and on earth—now he was swaggering right before their eyes!

Additionally, his winding posture was simply too leisurely.

Within moments, Yang Xuan and Hu Qingcheng’s heads burst into flames and began to smoke from their seven orifices, almost spewing fire from their eyes.

Qing Lan, who was fully clad in bronze armor, was flabbergasted. They had actually bumped into this brat on the moon? How was this possible?

"Tsk, this brat, you must be doing this on purpose! You must’ve appeared here deliberately to infuriate us! I’ll crush you into eight pieces!" Yang Xuan shouted with a dark expression.

The corners of his lips were actually trembling due to the anger. Of course, Yang Xuan was also excited because the brat’s appearance here meant that he could torment him as much he wanted and vent his anger.

"Heh, heh..." Hu Qing was laughing. Even her hair was standing on end because meeting Chu Feng here was the best thing that could happen. She could knead him however she wanted to.

Chu Feng walked out of the narrow wormhole in a relaxed manner and stepped on the moon in a single stride. He felt incredible; he was just on a certain island in the Eastern Sea just now, but he was on the moon the very next second.

His mood was great because he had successfully landed on the moon.

But in the end, he saw three people staring at him from not so far away. This shocked Chu Feng quite a bit.

"Old Extraterrestrials? What kind of bird language are you speaking? I don’t understand a single word!" Chu Feng mumbled. That was because the other party was speaking the common interstellar language which he didn’t know at all.

Yang Xuan and Hu Qingcheng both knew earth language and thus were absolutely infuriated after hearing his words. Old extraterrestrials?! As expected, this brat really doesn’t know how to speak tactfully. Just the sight of him made one furious!

Yang Xuan’s originally handsome face was now completely dark. He raised a hand and grasped out while sneering, "Little thief, come here!"

"Bang!" That faint golden palm landed on a layer of invisible energy and was actually blocked. The hand couldn’t touch Chu Feng’s body.

Chu Feng was terrified—that man’s move was too fast. Had it not been stopped by the invisible energy domain, he would certainly have been caught.

"Come out, you!"

Yang Xuan’s hand was in great pain as if it had been rammed into by a primordial divine rhinoceros. The pain penetrated deep into the bones and even caused the corners of his lips to twitch.

Just one strike was enough to make him not want to try a second time!

At the same time, he cursed in his heart because many domains in the area had become activated. The empty areas just now were all enveloped in domains and that brat was within one of them!

"Who are you? You know how to speak earth language?" Chu Feng held the bronze sword and waved it forward. He didn’t sense the slightest bit of kindness on the other party. On the contrary, his eyes were almost spewing out flames and seemed to be desperate to swallow him whole.

Chu Feng mumbled, "When did I ever provoke these old extraterrestrials?"

"Old extraterrestrials my a*s!" Yang Xuan’s forehead was full of black lines after hearing Chu Feng’s mumbling. [1]

Afterwards, he stared at that bronze sword and couldn’t take his eyes off of it. This was once his weapon, but now it was actually in this brat’s hands. He truly felt pain in his liver!

Seeing that the domains were expanding and Chu Feng was within, Hu Qingcheng immediately changed her strategy. She licked her seductive lips and smiled coquettishly.

"Little brother, don’t misunderstand. You scared us by appearing out of nowhere. Space pirates usually appear in this area, so we thought someone had come to rob us.

Her smile was sweet and parts of her snowy white skin was visible beneath the black gold battle armor. Her dark red hair swayed gently as she glanced with great fluidity and allure.

Chu Feng felt numb and tingly all over; this woman was truly a demoness. But how could Chu Feng be seduced? That was because he immediately felt that this woman looked quite familiar.

This big demoness was not only similar in temperament to Hu Ruoxian, but also in appearance. They were simply a pair of enchantress sisters who could seduce someone to death.

Chu Feng said with a harmless demeanor, "Hello, little sister fairy. Since it’s a misunderstanding, all is fine now that we’ve made things clear. Oh right, who are you people?"

Hu Qingcheng’s charming expression faltered slightly but soon recovered. Her red phoenix eyes glanced sideways and her bright red lips opened up. She wanted to say, "Little sister your a*s! Your grandma here is even older than your sister-in-law!" However, she held back the impulse.

Qing Lan’s expression was odd. What a genius this native was! He even dared call Hu Qingcheng little sister?!

Yang Xuan opened his mouth. He wanted to laugh and was delighted to see the demoness take a loss. At the same time, he felt that this brat’s standards were indeed consistent—his ability to attract enmity was still quite powerful even on the moon. What a fancy way to court death!

"Little brother..." Hu Qingcheng’s voice was attractive and tugged at one’s heartstrings. She began to converse with Chu Feng in a fairly seductive manner.

But in the end, this brat just wouldn’t move. He was completely unaffected by her seduction and wouldn’t come out.

What kind of person was Hu Qingcheng? She was a professional at manipulating emotions, but she was soon at her wit’s end and had no way to bewitch this native. Not wanting to waste any more emotions, she immediately turned hostile.

"Little thief, you dare take advantage of your mother? I’m already old enough to be your younger sister-in-law!"

"What younger sister-in-law? It’s more appropriate to call you elder sister-in-law." [2] Chu Feng responded tit for tat. Since the beginning, he had felt something was wrong with these three people. They seemed to know him; why otherwise would they make such faces upon seeing him for the first time? This was especially true of this demoness. She was definitely related to Hu Ruoxian.

Hu Qingcheng almost suffered a qi deviation after hearing his tone.

There were abundant expressions on Qing Lan’s face. At this moment, his face was twitching—was this brat innately antagonistic towards Hu Qingcheng?

"Haha..." Yang Xuan burst into laughter. He was actually quite amused to see Hu Qingcheng being taken advantage of.

But soon, he was no longer able to laugh. That was because the brat was weighing the bronze sword in his hand and sizing them up in a leisurely manner.

That attitude, in addition to the blade, made his expression turn dark. "Do you know the story behind the sword in your hand?"

"This is a gift from my eldest wife!" Chu Feng replied proudly as if he was speaking of a great achievement.

Yang Xuan felt that he would show off and say that a certain saintess had gifted it to him. But, in the end, he was absolutely infuriated to find that this native was too shameless and had the audacity to even say such words.

His entire body erupted with darkness. He simply couldn’t bear it anymore.

Qing Lan, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Where did you get that silver shield in your left hand?"

Chu Feng still retained his proud expression and said as if it was something worth boasting about, "This is a gift from my concubine."

"You little thief!" The black gold armor on Hu Qingcheng’s body jingled loudly as her dark red hair flew about and her eyes began to crackle with sparks of electricity.

"Just who are you people?" Chu Feng asked. Although he had his suspicions, he wasn’t completely sure.

"Saintess Yang Shan is my clan sister," Yang Xuan replied while looking down on Chu Feng. At this time, his golden armor erupted with a pillar of radiance and turned his hair a faint golden color. Like a proud sun, he was emitting a peerless and terrifying aura.

"Hu Ruoxian is my sister!" Hu Qingcheng said coldly. She had discarded her allure and was now like a female god of war, accompanied by an austere and chilly temperament.

Chu Feng’s heart was shaken—they were actually the elder brother and sister of saintesses. These three were definitely big crocodiles with unfathomable strength!

Later on, he revealed a brilliant smile and bowed deeply towards Yang Xuan with great respect.

Yang Xuan smiled faintly, feeling satisfied that his divine might had suppressed this little native.

But his smile soon froze as Chu Feng greeted him with proper ceremony, "Greetings, brother-in-law!"

Yang Xuan: "#%!#$!..."

His battle intent and divine radiance, which was as resplendent as the sun, completely vanished. His momentum was completely deflated as if he had suffered a beating.

Later on, Chu Feng turned around and also greeted Hu Cheng with full ceremony. "It turns out that you’re really big sister-in-law!"

Crackle!

Hu Qingcheng exploded with rage. Her black golden armor erupted with black radiance amidst the sounds of jingling metal. She actually charged forwards with a trident glaive in hand and arrived before him.

This was a heavy weapon similar to Yang Jian’s weapon as stated in the legends.

Hu Qingcheng seemed tender, beautiful, and extremely charming, but now, she was like a female god of war after erupting with power. She swung the weapon continuously, bringing the large blade dancing through the air like dancing snowflakes.

The entire area was filled with surging blade intent and deafening sounds as she hacked at the domain barrier, causing dazzling beams of energy to gush out.

The trident glaive fell again and again but was repeatedly repelled.

In the end, she gave up because she simply couldn’t break this invisible domain. Additionally, she had a terrifying feeling that she would be counterattacked if she went on.

Chu Feng felt somewhat guilty. Just what level was this big demoness at? She was truly unfathomable.

Yang Xuan continued bombarding the barrier but soon stopped as he also sensed the danger.

"The two of you please calm down. We’re family." Chu Feng tried his best to express goodwill.

But the two wanted nothing more than to crush him after seeing this.

Qing Lan cut in to resolve things with a smile. "Everyone should calm down. It’s a type of fate for us to meet on the moon. This is originally a fortunate encounter because, who knows, we really might be family later on."

"Fate my a*s! Moreover, I’m completely unrelated to him. I disagree!" Yang Xuan’s face was filled with dark mist and even his golden battle armor was about to darken.

Chu Feng said with a sincere expression, "How about we put all our cards on the table. I’m currently cooperating with your sister. We’re absolutely on the same side."

Yang Xuan was engulfed in black flames as he said, "Brat, stop explaining. We know everything you’re doing. You’re a liar and a fraud. Even your fake heaven’s chosen identity was accidentally caused by me."

Chu Feng’s expression fluctuated after hearing this. He immediately recalled the silver light which had attacked him for no good reason. So all of this was caused by this man before him?

He raised his chin and said, "So it was you trying to hack at me from space. Fine, I’ve remembered you—brother-in-law!"

The words brother-in-law almost caused Yang Xuan to go berserk. He grabbed his spear and wanted nothing more than to pierce 108 bloody holes on Chu Feng’s body.

"Let it be. Since matters had already taken place, let’s just discuss how we will cooperate in the future." Hu Qingcheng had calmed down. She retrieved a jade hairpin and brought it before the domain. "Let’s see if a dead object can cross over this barrier. You can take it back and give it to my sister. That will gain you more trust and allow you two to fight shoulder to shoulder."

"Very well!" Chu Feng smiled.

He used his spiritual arts to retrieve the hairpin and drag it inside.

In the end, the jade hairpin glowed brightly and flew towards him with a boom.

Hu Qingcheng’s eyes lit up in delight and incomparable anticipation.

However, the jade hairpin was fragmented midway, torn apart by the omnipresent domain.

As if he was slow to react, Chu Feng said, "It’s the same with the folded spaces on earth. Things or people that are too powerful can’t cross over in the short term."

Then he turned to Yang Xuan and said, "Elder brother, do you have anything you want to give Yang Shan?"

Hu Qingcheng shot a meaningful glance at Yang Xuan and communicated with him telepathically. "Quick, bring out a magical weapon that’s not so powerful and ambush that brat before he realizes!"

Yang Xuen immediately whipped out a dagger and sent it over.

Crack!

In the end, the dagger lit up and shattered into many pieces within the space Chu Feng was standing in.

Yang Xuan and Hu Qingcheng frowned. They secretly sighed at how bizarre the place was. It was impossible to even launch a sneak attack at this brat because powerful magical weapons couldn’t cross over.

At their level, how could they have weapons at the minor demon level on them? That was not correct either, that brat was still in the shackled realm.

Chu Feng bent down to pick up the shattered pieces of the jade hairpin and pieced them together. Next, he reassembled that dagger and sighed, "These should be enough to convince Shanshan and Ruoxian that I met their relatives. Yes, they will serve well as tokens."

"Eh?!"

At this moment, Yang Xuan and Hu Qingcheng’s eye went round and revealed killer glares. This brat was looking to stir up trouble!

"You dare?!"

Chu Feng didn’t pay any attention after hearing them and turned to swagger off. "Brother and sister-in-law should calm down first. I’m going into the depths to see if Chang’e is still here or if there are rabbits here I can roast." [3]

"Come back here!" the two shouted.

They felt that things weren’t looking good. If the brat took their personal belongings and went back to earth, he would be able to trick Yang Shan and Hu Ruoxian.

The two were exasperated. If... that brat really got his way, it would simply be unimaginable! They felt their vision growing dark!

[1] The original translation should be "You’re the old extraterrestrial!" which, in English, doesn’t really makes sense. So, I took the liberty of modifying it a bit.

[2] This is a problem to translate because in English it’s just sister in law. But in Chinese, it can be a lot of different things according to your age and the side of the family you belong to. http://blog.tutorming.com/mandarin-chinese-learning-tips/family-tree-relatives-in-chinese

I’m just going to make up the terms here so that it makes sense for everyone.

[3] Chang’e is the lady of the moon and the rabbit probably refers to the jade rabbit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e
