Chapter 241: Position, Last Long, Very Big
Lady Ba Wan?
Ye Guan’s curiosity was piqued, and he turned around to find a girl approaching him while riding on a cow. The cow was old, but its curved horns made it look domineering.
The young woman on the cow looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a simple cloth outfit, and there were a number of patches on her shirt, which indicated that her shirt had gone through significant wear and tear.
A rope was hanging from her waist, and there was a bundle of grass attached to the rope. There was a large bowl on her back, and her hair was tied into a long braid, which swayed gently in the wind.
She must be Lady Ba Wan. Ye Guan was still staring at her curiously when she jumped down the cow. The space in front of Ye Guan vibrated slightly, and his pupils shrank. A sense of foreboding gripped his heart, and he went on high alert.
Ye Guan thrust twenty swords forward.
A large fist imprint appeared in front of him.
Boom!
Ye Guan flew a hundred meters away. When he finally managed to stop, he found that his right arm had been lacerated. The swords made out of sword energy that he had created in a hurry just now had shattered into innumerable light crystals.
Ye Guan’s heart pounded madly against his chest. He was thrilled.
“Move the Mountains!” the young woman shouted and slapped her right palm on the ground.
A deafening explosion echoed as the space a hundred meters around Ye Guan shook violently. Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He hurriedly wielded twenty-five swords at once, but before he could even make a move, another explosion rocketed across the village as the space on Ye Guan’s right flung him away.
Ye Guan eventually came to a halt, but the space around him remained unstable.
Blood dripped down his lips; he had sustained an injury from the attack just now.
Unfortunately, the young woman wasn’t quite done just yet as she swiveled and punched the ground.
“Break the Earth!” she shouted.
An overwhelming force bubbled in the earth beneath Ye Guan’s feet.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan vanished, and a powerful pillar of energy burst out at least a hundred meters into the sky from where he initially stood. The pillar of energy was so powerful that everything it touched was reduced to ashes.
Shwing!
A dazzling sword light flashed in front of the young woman.
Ye Guan had just executed the Instant Death Strike using the Invisible Immortal Sword. The young woman moved her left foot slightly and leaned to the right, smoothly dodging Ye Guan’s attack.
“Shaking the Heavens!” she roared.
Boom!!
A kilometer of space in a cone in front of the young woman was annihilated. Ye Guan flew a few hundred meters away, and he landed harshly into the nearby river. The impact was so strong that a hundred-meter-tall pillar of water rose into the air.
The young woman didn’t make another move. She turned around and started walking toward the village. The villagers applauded and cheered, “Invincible Ba Wan!”
The young woman raised her right hand and pressed down lightly. She calmly said, “It was nothing… it was nothing much, but keep clapping, everyone. Anyway, Wang Erniu, did you eat anything at all? You’re clapping so lightly; you better eat, or I’m going to your house to eat.”
Wang Erniu’s expression changed drastically. He jumped to his feet and clapped frantically to the extent that his hands turned red from the force he was using to clap his hands together.
The other villagers panicked upon hearing the young woman say that she would go to Wang Erniu’s house to eat. They clapped as fast and as loudly as possible. Even an old man with only one arm slapped his thigh so hard that his leg started trembling from the pain.
The thunderous round of applause echoed throughout the village. Ba Wan walked back to her cow, and she gave the cow the bundle of grass by her waist. The cow opened its mouth wide and chewed on the grass.
Ba Wan stroked the cow’s horns and said, “Old cow, I’ve fed you grass, so how about you give me some beef?”
Hearing that, the old cow spat the grass and refused to eat despite Ba Wan’s efforts.
Ba Wan pouted and muttered, “Stingy old cow, I fed you so much grass, but you don’t even want to feed me a little meat.”
Ba Wan dragged the cow away, and the villagers heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her leave.
The old man who had been slapping his thigh slumped to the ground. His leg was sore, but he had no choice but to keep clapping earlier! After all, Ba Wan was a scourge that would devour any food that she could get her hands on.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan slowly crawled out of the river just outside the village. He was in a terrible state. His fleshly body was torn apart, and his blood had stained his clothes.
The Invisible Immortal Sword had shattered in the earlier battle, and Ye Guan lay on the ground in a daze. He couldn’t quite believe that a young woman had overwhelmed him. To make matters worse, his speed—of which he was quite proud of—had also seemed like it was nothing in front of the young woman.
Ye Guan asked inwardly, “Senior, she looks like she’s just sixteen or seventeen years old. Am I right?”
The mysterious voice said, “Yes!”
Ye Guan was silent.
The mysterious voice asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Guan chuckled and said, “It seems like there’s always someone out there better than me.”
Ye Guan retrieved a spiritual medicine from his storage ring and consumed it. A few moments later, he was roughly healed up, and he picked himself up before walking toward the village once again.
An old man was lying outside the village. His legs were weak, and he had to use a walking stick to walk. The old man looked at Ye Guan and asked, “Are you looking for Ba Wan?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”
The old man examined Ye Guan from top to bottom and said, “Ba Wan doesn’t like fair-skinned men, she likes guys like Erniu, who are strong and burly. Erniu can plow ten acres of land in just a day, can you do that?”
Ye Guan stared quietly at the old man before walking away.
The old man took offense at Ye Guan’s silence. “Hey! Are you deaf?”
Ye Guan stared at the old man’s legs and asked, “Did someone beat your legs up?”
However, Ye Guan’s question seemed to have brought up some bad memories as the old man got furious and spat at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan tilted to one side and stumbled forward. “Ah, ouch! Ouch!”
The old man was so confused that his fury disappeared. In the end, he turned around and left, leaving Ye Guan all by himself to look around the village.
Ye Guan noticed it earlier, but he had just confirmed that the villagers here were truly not afraid of him. They were actually staring at him openly with curiosity in their eyes.
Some ladies even gossipped about him, but Ye Guan had no idea what they were talking about because he overheard them say skill, position, last long, and very big.
In the end, Ye Guan chalked it up to the ladies’ unique habits and the village’s culture.
Ye Guan soon found himself in front of a small hut. The old cow outside the hut was the same cow as earlier. The old cow glanced at Ye Guan and scoffed before looking away.
Ye Guan frowned. What?
There were some noises coming from the hut.
Ye Guan approached the hut and saw Ba Wan crouched in front of a stove.
Ba Wan whipped around and frowned upon seeing Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was stunned.
Ba Wan’s face was dirty with the ashes from the stove.
Ba Wan clenched her fists.
“Wait!” Ye Guan hurriedly cried out.
Ba Wan glared at Ye Guan and snapped, “How dare you come back here!”
Ye Guan didn’t know what to say to that. In the end, he asked hesitantly, “Can I come in?”
Ba Wang looked away and continued working on her fire. Ye Guan hesitated before walking into the hut. The small hut was indeed small, as it only had three stoves, three woks, and a large wooden chair.
Ye Guan stood next to Ba Wan and said, “Lady, I don’t have any ill intentions.”
Ba Wan glanced at Ye Guan and asked, “Do you have rice?”
Rice? Ye Guan froze and went silent.
Ba Wan frowned, “What’s with that look? Did you not come here to eat?”
Ye Guan answered, “I don’t have rice, but I have dragon meat. Does that work?”
Ba Wan asked, “Dragon meat? What’s that?”
Ye Guan cast an incredulous gaze at her before asking, “Have you not seen a dragon before?”
Ba Wan shook her head and said, “No! Are they delicious?”
Ye Guan crouched next to her and asked, “Do you want to try?”
Ba Wan nodded enthusiastically and exclaimed, “Sure!”
Ye Guan retrieved two chunks of dragon meat from his storage ring, and Ba Wan’s eyes brightened upon seeing them. Ye Guan chuckled, and he started cooking the meat while Ba Wan was crouched next to him.
Ba Wan drooled while staring intently at the dragon meat.
“How long has it been since your last meal?” asked Ye Guan.
Ba Wan pondered for a while before saying, “It’s been a while, and it’s because no one wants to give me rice.”
“Have you ever walked out of here?” asked Ye Guan.
“Are you talking about going out to the outside world?” Ba Wan asked back.
Ye Guan nodded.
Ba Wan shook her head. “Nope!”
Ye Guan asked, “How do you cultivate, then?”
“Cultivate?” asked Ba Wan.
“Yes!” Ye Guan nodded.
Ba Wan directed a curious gaze on Ye Guan and asked, “Do you mean fighting?”
Ye Guan stared deeply at Ba Wan before nodding. “Yes!”
Ba Wan frowned, and her face was filled with confusion.
“Do you have to do something special to fight? Don’t you just fight if you want to fight?” she asked.
Ye Guan was silent. It didn’t feel like Ba Wan was lying to him.
However, Ye Guan was in absolute disbelief upon realizing that Ba Wan was so strong, even though she had never really cultivated.
Ba Wan suddenly asked, “Do you have more dragon meat?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes, I have more.”
Ba Wan blinked and asked, “Can you give me some?”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “Sure.”
With that, he gave her two chunks of dragon meat.
Ye Guan had no qualms about giving away chunks of dragon meat, as he had enough dragon meat to eat for a lifetime.
Ba Wan accepted the dragon meat and ran out of the hut, astonishing Ye Guan.
Not long later, Ba Wan returned with a wooden bucket.
Ye Guan looked into it and saw that it contained rice.
Ba Wan grinned and said, “How can we eat dragon meat without rice?”
She dumped the rice into the wok and started cooking it.
Fifteen minutes later, the dragon meat and rice were ready.
Ba Wan grabbed the large bowl hanging behind her and filled it up with rice. She seemed to have thought of something as she looked at Ye Guan cautiously and asked, “Are you not going to eat?”
Ye Guan seemed hesitant as he asked, “Can I?”
Ba Wan nodded and said, “If you aren’t going to eat, I’ll eat everything myself.”
With that, Ba Wan took out a wooden spoon that was as large as her palm and wolfed the rice. After stuffing two spoonfuls of rice into her mouth, she picked up a piece of dragon meat and munched on it.
Ye Guan’s confusion reached its peak, and he stared at Ba Wan in a daze until the latter consumed an entire wok of rice.
An entire wok of rice! Ye Guan was stupefied.
Ba Wan sat and leaned against the large wooden chair. She seemed relaxed as she burped loudly and looked at Ye Guan.
“I owe you a favor for the food. Tell me what you want.”
Ye Guan stared at her carefully and said, “I would like to spar with you again.”
“Sparring? Do you mean fighting?” Ba Wan asked.
“Yes, a fight!” Ye Guan said with a nod.
“All right!” Ba Wan nodded.
Ye Guan grinned and stood up. He started walking outside the hut when Ba Wan suddenly ignited a wooden rod next to the stove and hurled it at Ye Guan. The flaming wooden rod flew so fast that Ye Guan couldn’t react in time, and it struck him in the head, sending him flying out of the small hut.
