Chapter 164: Serve the Moon Fairy Well

…

“Ao ao~” The soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Regiment, upon seeing this scene, immediately let out earth-shattering roars. Many commanders revealed looks of worship in their eyes and started shouting crazily: “Fairy Yu is mighty, Fairy Yu is domineering.”

Quite a few thousand soldiers were also caught up in extreme excitement and joined in the cheering: “Fairy Yu, Fairy Yu.”

As they shouted, Fairy Yu, due to unclear pronunciation, turned into Moon Fairy. Shouts of “Moon Fairy is mighty” and “domineering” rang through this vast and open grassland, and the white clouds high in the sky were shaken away.

This battle also made Yu Shanshan famous. From then on, the title of Moon Fairy Yu Shanshan would likely spread widely throughout the Free Alliance.

Lei Qing was also quite excited. Yu Shanshan’s fight was of extremely high quality. Although Yu Shanshan seemed to fight with ease, Murong Ping was not a simple character. In the entire Iron Cavalry Regiment, apart from the two Regiment Commanders who could steadily beat him, even the third strongest expert, Yuchi Kou, was probably not his opponent.

If Yu Shanshan’s moves were not experienced and exquisite enough to constantly suppress Murong Ping, preventing him from displaying his full strength, winning would not have been so easy. Lei Qing felt his blood boiling with excitement. He only knew before that Yu Shanshan was powerful, but he didn’t know to what extent. Seeing it today, he realized that the personal disciple of Leng Yuewu from the Moon Cold Palace was indeed extraordinary.

However, Lei Qing also felt a bit guilty. With Yu Shanshan being so powerful, he was afraid he would suffer a lot. With his current strength, even if he went all out, it was unknown whether he could last twenty moves against her. The biggest possibility was that if Yu Shanshan went all out, he probably couldn’t even last ten moves. Her Fighting Qi was too pure and thick, and the Moon Cold Battle Tactic was truly too mysterious.

Xiahou Huan was the most excited. A victory that came after many twists and turns made him even more emotional. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to pay the thirty thousand gold coins, but it would have added frost to snow for the Iron Cavalry Regiment’s already scarce resources, and more importantly, it would have lost face and reputation. Although the Eternal Life Palace would pay, Xiahou Huan really couldn’t bring himself to take that money.

However, now, not only were his reputation and resources preserved, but he also gained greater fame and thirty thousand resources for free. This made Xiahou Huan, who was used to being poor, laugh with relief in his old heart. He narrowed his eyes, looking at Yu Shanshan with great gratitude and appreciation, secretly thinking that this Yu Shanshan was indeed worthy of being the personal disciple of Fairy Leng, truly impressive. Especially since she was extremely young and had not officially debuted yet, given time, she would surely become another heavyweight super expert in the world.

Xiahou Huan had lived until now and achieved his current status, certainly not by relying on brute force alone. He knew deeply that investment needed to be done early; don’t wait until the Moon Fairy achieved Saintly prestige, when trying to curry favor would become much more difficult.

But this Moon Fairy seemed to have a complicated relationship with his nephew. One moment they were shouting about killing each other, the next they were destined for each other. Xiahou Huan felt a headache coming on, secretly thinking that young people these days were truly hard to understand.

But it didn’t matter if he didn’t understand. In short, this Moon Fairy had to be curried favor with. Not only did she have infinite potential for the future, but she was also a personal disciple of the Moon Cold Palace, which represented a Fighting Qi Holy Land, right? A Fighting Qi Holy Land was not something one could curry favor with just because they wanted to.

With such a good opportunity now, how could Xiahou Huan give it up? Immediately, he waved his hand for his commanders to follow, smiling as he went up to meet her, cupping his hands sincerely and saying: “Moon Fairy, this time we truly owe it all to you. Otherwise, our Iron Cavalry Regiment would have been in big trouble. You are our benefactor.”

After a fierce battle, Yu Shanshan had consumed a lot of Fighting Qi, even though she fought with an appearance of ease like floating clouds. But Murong Ping was ultimately not some cat or dog, but a very troublesome expert.

Under her veil, her cheeks were slightly flushed with effort. Seeing Xiahou Huan being so humble and polite, she slightly bowed her body while on the horse: “Regiment Commander Xiahou, there is no need for courtesy. The Blood Wolf Tribe is insidious and cunning, full of tricks. Shanshan just couldn’t stand it, so I made my move. As for the title of Moon Fairy, Shanshan is ashamed and dare not accept it.”

“Aiya, aiya~ Miss Yu, your title of Moon Fairy is well-deserved. When your master had not yet achieved the Holy Rank, she was called the Ice Fairy by others.” Xiahou Huan appeared hearty and said with great spirit: “Miss Yu has obtained the true inheritance of Palace Master Leng and has the style Palace Master Leng had back then. Your debut fight easily defeated the Ghost Murong Ping. How could you not be called Moon Fairy? Brothers, don’t you agree?”

“The Moon Fairy’s strength and demeanor are admired by everyone in the Iron Cavalry Regiment.”

“That’s right, the title of Moon Fairy is well-deserved.”

“Long live the Moon Fairy, the Moon Fairy is mighty.”

“Why is her nickname Fairy? But I have to be called a Shrew?” Shentu Xue muttered in a low voice with annoyance: “Her chest isn’t even as big as mine.”

“Then I thank Regiment Commander Xiahou for his kindness.” Yu Shanshan glanced at Lei Qing. She could tell that he was also very happy and excited, and the way he looked at her seemed different too. She immediately remembered what An Feifei had said. Feeling a bit proud in her heart, she cupped her hands and smiled.

“Hehe, regarding that, Moon Fairy, from now on you are an honored guest of our Iron Cavalry Regiment. You can come and go freely in all places of the Iron Cavalry Regiment. You can order anyone around as you please, and the Iron Cavalry Regiment will have no secrets from you. If anyone dares not to listen, you come find me, Xiahou Huan, and I guarantee I’ll whip them until they do.”

Lei Qing was originally smiling, but when he heard this, he felt dizzy on the spot and almost fell off his horse. He cursed in his heart, ‘Holy crap, isn’t this pushing me into a fire pit? Uncle Xiahou, oh Uncle Xiahou, can’t you not sell your own nephew just to curry favor with the Moon Cold Palace?’

Yu Shanshan’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she glanced at Lei Qing with a bit of pride. Under the veil, the corner of her mouth also curled up slightly: “Thank you, Regiment Commander Xiahou, for granting me this authority.”

“Why be polite? You are a great benefactor to our Iron Cavalry Regiment.” Xiahou Huan looked generous, but secretly he was trying his best to curry favor. He showed the look of an elder: “Lei Qing is my nephew. His father and I are friends who have risked our lives together. Now that his father isn’t around, I, as his uncle, count as half a father to him. Moon Fairy, you and my Lei Qing are considered, um, hehe, good friends, right? If you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle Xiahou. We are all family, family, hehe.”

Lei Qing almost spat out a mouthful of blood, secretly thinking, ‘Uncle Xiahou, you are a local tyrant after all. When you flatter someone, why do you have to be so obvious? You might as well just cut up your nephew and see how much money you can sell him for.’

Xiahou Huan’s repeated mentions of “family” and his earnest and kind smile made Yu Shanshan’s pretty face under the veil turn red. She was at a loss for a moment, but with so many people watching, she couldn’t bring herself to call him Uncle Xiahou.

Xiahou Huan understood too. He gave a chuckle; they would take it slow, take it slow. The Iron Cavalry Regiment was her home; she could stay however she wanted in the future.

Why did Lei Qing find these words so familiar? Uh, he remembered, Uncle Xiahou seemed to have said the same to Li Baobao. How insidious, truly insidious.

Sure enough, Xiahou Huan began to calculate in his heart. His nephew had inherited the looks of his father and mother, handsome and with an extraordinary aura. He seemed to be quite popular with girls. First Li Baobao secretly fell in love with him, and now he had an ambiguous relationship with Yu Shanshan.

Xiahou Huan began to struggle with the decision. The former, Li Baobao, was called the Goddess of Wealth by others, the legitimate daughter of the richest Li Chamber of Commerce in the world, very likely to take the position of President in the future. If his nephew married her, he would have endless wealth, and the Iron Cavalry Regiment could bask in the glory too. The latter was the successor of a Fighting Qi Holy Land, backed by the entire powerful Moon Cold Palace. If his nephew could get close to her and establish a relationship, who would dare to look down on the Iron Cavalry Regiment?

“Which one is better to sell to?” Xiahou Huan struggled in his heart; each one had irresistible temptation. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. Marrying just one was too uneconomical. If he was going to marry, he should marry both. For a moment, Xiahou Huan was moved by his own brilliant idea. Marrying both together, wouldn’t that be a perfect ending?

Nephew, oh nephew, your uncle will have to give you a lesson later and teach you how to pick up girls.

Looking at Xiahou Huan’s appearance with his mouth grinning wide and eyes narrowed. Even if Lei Qing didn’t guess ten percent, he guessed eight or nine percent. He felt dizzy repeatedly. The biggest mistake he made in his life was probably running over to join Uncle Xiahou. For the benefit of the Iron Cavalry Regiment, what wouldn’t this old man do?

However, Lei Qing also secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Uncle Xiahou didn’t know about Leng Yuewu’s need for him. Otherwise, he might really have tied him up directly and sent him as a gift to Leng Yuewu’s bed. That was the target most worth currying favor with.

“By the way, Lei Qing, didn’t you just promise the Moon Fairy a request?” Xiahou Huan glared majestically at Lei Qing: “Why are you still standing there in the back? Come over quickly and listen to the Fairy’s teachings.”

Lei Qing rode forward with a bitter look on his face. When he passed Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Huan grabbed him and whispered in his ear: “Qing’er, whether the Iron Cavalry Regiment can get rid of these bitter days, whether the thousands of brothers can have a way to survive, whether we eat meat or drink porridge in the future, it all depends on you. Go over there quickly and serve the Moon Fairy well. If she tells you to go east, you must go east; if she tells you to go west, you must go west, understand? I’ll handle the things behind the scenes.”

Lei Qing rode away with a dry laugh, inviting Yu Shanshan to ride a horse and wander around. Yu Shanshan agreed shyly. The two rode away, and after more than ten miles, the speed of the horses slowed down.

Lei Qing looked like a martyr facing his doom, and said tragically: “Shanshan, you won. You can take my body.”
