239 Extra The most beautiful family in the world (1) Part I

Bai Yu was in trouble in a foreign land…

She, Ouyang Feilong, and their two children were passing through Da Chu’s trade city while on their way to the divine valley to meet up with the god of war and goddess of fate, who would come down to the mortal world once a year. However, when they reached the trade city, Bai Yu suddenly lost sight of Ouyang Feilong and her two five-year-old steamed buns in confusion.

Ouyang Feilong was busy with the younger bun that started begging as soon as she saw various goods on both sides of the street. The older bun was as calm as usual, though what he gained with age was coldness toward his mother…

For Bai Yu, his attitude made her want to tease him more, though it seemed she was too occupied with finding ways to tease Yuan-er, causing them to lose each other like this.

The villainess in a foreign territory swept her eyes through the surroundings. She could not find any trace of her travel companions at all. Both the father and the children’s magic current were not in the radius that she could sense. What she instead found was…

“They said beauties need knights.”

Three men with orange-colored magic walked toward the mother of two children who could still maintain her beauty and youth in her twenties. The women of Da Chu did not normally use veils to cover their faces like Da Yang women, and so the beauty of the former Meihua Lady was revealed to the public. When such a rare beauty stood alone, seemingly lost, it was natural that there would be someone who wanted to protect her!

“Where do you want to go, miss? Why don’t you let me help?” The man in the middle, who seemed to be the leader of the group, said that to Bai Yu. His tone was gentle, though his eyes ogled her body.

“Thank you, misters.” Seeing that pedestrians made way for the three men, she understood that they had extraordinary power in the area. Bai Yu chose to speak to them in a manner that was not too polite nor too arrogant. “…But benxiaojie might not be able to accept your goodwill.”

.....

Since they called her ‘miss,’ she would gladly accept that title. What luck! The three Ouyangs were not here, so she could easily return to being a Bai miss!

“There’s no need to be shy, miss.” The man in the middle still continued to be friendly. He puffed his chest as he proudly spoke. “Those who visit are indeed guests. This port city is under the Zhang family’s care. Welcoming the city’s guests is, of course, this Zhang Guanzhong’s responsibility.”

“No, thank you…” Bai Yu maintained her smile. The sight of it instantly charmed the beholders. “…Benxiaojie is only separated from a travel group. They will soon find benxiaojie.”

“Why don’t you come and rest at Zhang Mansion while waiting for your friends?” The man, surnamed Zhang, insisted on bringing her with him. And it seemed that the current situation was a normal one for everyone. Even though Zhang Guanzhong boldly invited a beauty to his mansion in public, no one tried to stop him. The surrounding crowd shook their heads in pity… Any beauty who entered the Zhang family’s mansion never left with her breath or a complete body.

The two men who were with Zhang Guanzhong stepped forward, practically detaining her.

Bai Yu’s smile never dropped away. She still stood firm in her place. “Benxiaojie’s father once taught benxiaojie that benxiaojie should not follow a stranger.”

“Stranger? Miss, we will soon be acquainted.” Zhang Guanzhong maintained his polite and friendly tone, the total opposite of his follower’s actions. Bai Yu’s smaller figure was flanked by the two of them. It seemed that if there was half a word of rejection from her, their calloused hands would immediately touch her pure, unblemished skin.

Their threat did not intimidate the villainess at all.

“Benxiaojie’s mother has said that benxiaojie should not speak to strange-looking people.”

At her provoking words, two towering men moved to capture her. As a descendant of the Yue family, she would not easily surrender. Bai Yu swiftly evaded before stepping backward, escaping their grasp in one fluid movement. Every action she took was like a dance, and it fell under the gaze of Zhang Guanzhong and those who possessed martial skills around them.

“Not bad.” The young master of the Zhang family gave a satisfied nod. It was not hard to find a beauty who practiced martial arts. What further piqued his interest was the grace she possessed… How he wanted to subdue her!

“It must look like a child’s play to the young master.” Bai Yu lied back, pretending to accept his praise despite being harassed by his men. Seeing her response, Zhang Guanzhong smiled. He waved, signaling the two followers to step back… It had been a while since he last joined in on the fun.

“Don’t be too humble, miss.” A pure white whip was revealed as he stalked toward her. An orange glow emanated from the whip. It was a sign of the beginning of the fight. The man had no care at all that she was only a fragile woman… But this was Da Chu’s tradition!

Be it a man or woman, martial arts and magic made them all equal!

Ouyang Feilong had said that to her once, but Bai Yu never expected that she would experience the proof of those words herself. The situation had escalated, and it seemed that this young master had often caused such a scene. Bai Yu could guess that from the fearful reaction of the merchants and pedestrians at the sight of his magic whip.

“Do all strange-looking people act like you?” Bai Yu pulled her lips into a smile, ignoring the danger from his whip. She taunted him further, still acting nonchalant.

“You!” Zhang Guanzhong pointed his whip at her. Though he had tried to suppress his anger, she continued to provoke him, saying sharp words with an enchanting smile… He wanted to own her and wipe that smile clean off her face!

“Young miss, you have eyes yet carry no perception! There’s no one in this city that is stronger and more dignified than me, Zhang Guanzhong!”

Bai Yu tilted her head. “From where does Young Master gain that confidence?”

“You!” He uttered another word out of anger that rose to meet her provocation. Driven by fury, the orange magic whip flew toward the hateful grin on her beautiful face.

“Aaaahhh!!”

Fwip

The screams around Bai Yu did not affect her concentration at all. She whirled around, quickly pulling out one of the hairpins in her hair. Black-colored magic poured out of the golden pin as she effortlessly deflected the whip with it. Her movement was easy, even though what she held was an accessory and not a weapon.

“Black magic.”

“She has black-level magic.”

“Heavens! She deflected his whip.”

Exclamations were heard from the people who had started crowding around to see the spectacle of the lithe and fragile young lady who possessed black magic rarely found in Da Chu. Other than elite soldiers or talented nobles, no one could achieve the level… That must mean this woman was not an ordinary person.

Zhang Guanzhong flicked his whip, pulling it back after missing the target. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at Bai Yu, fascinated. A beautiful appearance, a noble manner, outstanding martial skills, and now high-level magic. No woman was more suited to be a daughter-in-law of the great Zhang family!

“It seems now I can’t let you go, miss.”

Then, the magic whip lunged at Bai Yu again, without asking her at all whether she wanted to fight him or not. She internally cursed Chu Zhaoran. Although that man was not the one who dictated the strange tradition, this was still his nation. And so, she cursed the Golden Emperor who ruled Da Chu while at the same time defending herself against the man who was seriously considering taking her as his furen.

Did Zhang Guanzhong not have eyes? Her hair was completely gathered up. Da Chu’s people might not adhere to tradition as strictly as Da Yang’s, but at least he should have noticed the hairstyle of a foreign woman such as her. She already had a husband, and he was extremely beautiful!

“Why are you fighting, miss? Why don’t you marry an attractive man like me and take the honorable name ‘Furen Zhang’?”

Bai Yu was starting to wonder where Zhang Guanzhong had bought his confidence from… She would burn that store down!

Whooosh!

A high-pitched sound of the orange whip pierced through the air with the intention of capturing her. Zhang Guanzhong did not think that Bai Yu, despite her higher magic level, would win against him. He was confident that his skills was superior. Furthermore, she was merely a small woman. Magic levels could not instantly decide the victor.

Zhang Guanzhong did not live long before his hope was cruelly crushed.

The fast and forceful whip was easily stopped in front of Bai Yu by someone’s large hand. His hand was bare, enveloped in a golden light called forth by magic without using a medium. That meant the user was a high-level golden magic user, to whom the orange aura around the whip could not be compared at all.

“She doesn’t like attractive men.” His voice was indifferent, but it sent a chill through the listener’s body amidst the awe of the crowd around them. The dangerous whip was stopped with one hand by a man who was as beautiful as the woman who was being protected.

Ouyang Feilong ignored the air of surprise in the area, not caring whether they were more shocked by his magic or his appearance. He tightened his grip on the whip and pulled. With one forceful tug, Zhang Guanzhong lost his balance and was dragged forward to kneel in front of him.

The magic whip was ground to dust.

Golden eyes looked down at the man, surnamed Zhang, who dared challenge death by courting his wife. Oppressing air emanated from the former son of heaven as his toneless voice continued. “She prefers beautiful men.”

There was no need for an explanation as to what a beautiful man was. The people of Da Chu had not borne witness to the proof that the beautiful man truly existed in this world. And it seemed that this man owned the beauty who was harassed a while ago.

What a breathtaking picture of a pair of phoenix and dragon.

“Y…You.” Zhang Guanzhong’s eyes widened. Shock and fear filled him.

On Da Chu’s land, it was known that the Golden Emperor Chu Zhaoran was the sole user of golden magic. Yet this man, who possessed golden eyes, stood before him.

“Dear.” A clear, honeyed voice cleaved through the menacing atmosphere caused by the man whom everybody immediately understood as the beauty’s husband. Bai Yu tried to deescalate the situation. Although she knew that Ouyang Feilong was suppressing his anger under the calm tone and restrained action, Bai Yu was still unsure whether he was angry at Zhang Guanzhong or at her for stirring up the trouble. “We are only passing through this city, please stay calm.”
