Sword Among Us

Panda Novel

Women were forever a topic among men.

It was just like how shopping was forever a topic between women!

But Wandering Know-it-all still did not expect that the sophomore would be able act naturally when faced with this sort of lineup, even though he had been able to understand why he was able to perform so outstandingly in the game.

Happy showed an experienced man’s familiarity and indifference to the situation, and it made Wandering Know-it-all feel that the world had gone insane. He knew that with how focused Happy was on his goals, there was no way he would have spent a lot of time on places with bad reputation.

“I can’t help but wonder whether you are a normal sophomore now.”

“I’m already a junior, I’m old now.”

Happy did not stop moving. His gaze swept past the faces of the two charming and alluring people before he looked at Wandering Know-it-all.

Wandering Know-it-all smiled wanly and went up to greet him. “I was paying attention to your journey all this while, and you have definitely never come to Beijing. There are also very few people who know about Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant. I wonder how you got to know about them, Brother Happy.”

“Of course it’s from other boys. Big Brother Wandering Know-it-all, aren’t you trying to dig into my personal life by asking such questions? Remember to drink one cup of wine later as punishment. Miss Little Moon Immortal, do you think that I’m being reasonable right now?” Once Happy answered in a joking manner, he turned his gaze to Little Moon Immortal.

She pursed her lips and chuckled softly, “Young Master Happy, you’re right. He should drink one cup of wine as punishment.”

When Wandering Know-it-all heard it, he was instantly dumbfounded.

He frequented the restaurant, but it was the first time he saw a person who was able to make Little Moon Immortal speak with his very first sentence, and Happy had spoken in an incredibly casual tone.

Happy obviously knew why he was shocked. The two best girls in Heaven Fragrant Tower, Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant, were matchless talented beauties in terms of their value and personality. One of them had peerless zither skills, and the other’s dance skills were equal to those of Diao Chan. They would usually ignore ordinary wanderers and would only come out to serve those who were famous.

However, serving them did not mean that they would sit around with them and drink while smiling, much less do some low-brow actions and engage low-class conversations.

Only those who were truly capable could gain the two women’s attention, and only those who truly respected them could make them speak.

The two women would even ignore most of Wandering Know-it-all’s words, even though he had come here many times. He had planned to explain things to Happy, but he did not expect that Happy would surprisingly “put on a display of force” right when he came. Whatever words that had been at the tip of his tongue turned into bitterness and resignation. He wondered whether he had truly become old.

“Alright, even Little Moon Immortal is helping you. I have nothing to say now, so I’ll just drink one cup as punishment. Come, let’s go into the house to talk.”

“Young Master, this way, please!”

Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant stood on both sides of the door. They curtsied gracefully while looking at Happy with shining eyes. They seemed to be incredibly incredibly interested in him.

Wandering Know-it-all, who was the first to enter the room, was dumbfounded. He felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow.

In truth, Happy felt that it was rather strange as well, and there was faint puzzlement shining in his eyes.

Even though he felt a little smug when the two beauties paid attention to him, in his previous life, they had never looked him in the eye and regarded him with great importance. So why was he receiving such grand treatment now? Could it be that his actions had caused some abnormality to appear in World of Martial Art’s system?

His various worries caused Happy to ignore his surroundings. Once Wandering Know-it-all led him to his seat, he suddenly heard Little Moon Immortal speak.

“Honored guest, your presence today in Heaven Fragrant Tower has allowed us to shine even more gloriously than before. I, Little Moon Immortal, have a song that I would like to present to both of you…”

As she spoke, she kept her eyes on Happy’s side profile, and her gaze was as gentle as water. It could cause people’s imagination to run wild.

Wandering Know-it-all said nothing. Once he was done smiling wanly, he gave Happy a teasing look. “Looks like my understanding toward Heaven Fragrant Tower in the past was too superficial. Today, you have a goddess who has taken a fancy on you. Looks like you will be lucky enough to enjoy the grace of a beauty today, Brother Happy.”

When he said the latter half of his sentences, Wandering Know-it-all tentatively cast a cautious look at Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant.

If it were any other time, the two women would definitely be angry if they heard such words, but today, when they heard Wandering Know-it-all’s teasing words, Little Moon Immortal did not give any sort of reaction. She just brought out a graceful seven-stringed zither at her pace and gracefully placed it on the zither stand that was thirty-two feet away.

The notes from the zither rose.

“Hehe… I will have to embarrass myself now.”

Delicate Servant smiled delicately, and her curvaceous and elegant body suddenly rose into the air. She did an astonishingly gentle and graceful move while airborne, then flung out a gorgeous light yellow ribbon.

Her posture was graceful, and her movements were gentle and exciting. While her dance was accompanied by the lingering and pleasant zither notes, the hall became full of life for a moment.

Once the song was over, Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant came back to their sides while covered in a thin sheen of sweat.

“Young Master, who do you think is prettier and more alluring? Us, or Sect Leader Zhou Zhiruo of Emei Sect, who is rumored among the wanderers to be the greatest beauty in the county?”

While Little Moon Immortal poured wine for Happy and asked the question, she stared at the wine cup in front of her with a calm gaze.

Wandering Know-it-all’s movements as he picked up the wine cup paused for a moment, and he finally understood a little as to why Little Moon Immortal was so cordial toward Happy, unlike Delicate Servant, who did not speak to him at all. It would seem like the progression of certain quests would also increase the players’ status in the NPCs’ hearts.

Zhou Zhiruo was Emei Sect’s sect leader, and rumors of Happy helping her obtain Heavenly Saber and Dragon Saber’s secret leading to her newfound strength had spread across the land. It was no wonder then that Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant displayed such great curiosity toward Happy.

Wandering Know-it-all watched quietly by the side. He did not say anything to interrupt.

“Zhou Zhiruo is like an orchid in the valley. She is pure, beautiful, cold, and ethereal. I don’t know how she is after she became a sect leader. It has been a long time since I met her.”

While looking at Little Moon Immortal, who had fair skin and displayed a unique charm, Happy naturally thought of Zhou Zhiruo he once knew. Regardless of whether it was during the time they were at Light Summit, Eternal Peace Temple, or at Spirit Snake Island, Zhou Zhiruo was rather similar to her, and he answered subconsciously.

“Then, what do you think of us, young master?” Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant asked with attentive expressions.

“Your skills with the zither are peerless, and your dancing skills can charm the entire world. You do indeed live up to your name as the two matchless beauties in Beijing.”

“Thank you for praise, young master.”

Little Moon Immortal had a slightly happy expression. She was just about to lift her wine cup and give Happy a toast when she suddenly heard a ruckus outside.

‘I knew it! Trouble has arrived!’

“What’s going on? Who will come and disturb the people in the best room for honored guests? Hmph! Looks like the environment in Heaven Fragrant Tower isn’t really that great.”

Happy cast a glance at Wandering Know-it-all, who had a dumbfounded expression before he adopted a look that was a mixture of anger and gloom. Happy thought about it for a moment before he shook his head and laughed.

‘Heh, you blame the wrong person, Wandering Know-it-all.’

Happy had forgotten that there were few people who would come to Heaven Fragrant Tower since World of Martial Arts had been launched, and there were even fewer who understood the rules regarding the two matchless beauties of Heaven Fragrant Tower.

They were unlike the hostesses of normal restaurants. Their zither skills and dancing skills were the best in the game, and they were celebrities who were incredibly popular.

It was only natural then that they were well-liked by extraordinary people. Hence, there was a very special setting for the two matchless beauties.

The system provided him with a notification.

“Ding!

“Someone else has asked for Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant to serve them! That person took the initiative to invade the courtyard and issue a challenge!

“Will you accept the challenge? If you accept it, you can choose to receive the challenge while remaining anonymous. If you win, that person will leave, if you lose, Heaven Fragrant Tower will pay for your loss, but you will lose the chance to have Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant serve you in the future.”

Wandering Know-it-all received the system notification at the same time, and he looked furious.

Happy smiled calmly. During the time he stood up, his clothes changed to a blurry yellow brocade robe, and his face became indistinct. Even if he fought against the challenger, that person would not know of his identity.

“I’ll go take a look.”

He turned around and, with Little Moon Immortal and Delicate Servant accompanying him, walked out of the hall into the courtyard!
