    eh, no need every 4 hours, I only update this thread once a day, mon-fri usually.

    anyway to continue... end of chapter, nothing much, just lots of hanky panky

    ****************************************

    The pretty maid came to invite him in to see Lady Ya, and to remove his sword.

    Xiang Shaolong knows that he has passed the first round, so he removed his sword and followed the pretty maid in.

    He had just stepped into the door and immediately he saw a pretty lady lying down on a long couch at the other end, looking totally relaxed with a hand supporting her chin. A pair of alluring yet dreamy looking eyes was sizing him up coldly, her fair legs peeping out from her skirt, creating a picturesque scene of a beauty lazing that is enough to make any man fall head over heels.

    The small hall was not lighted, the setting sun shone in from two large windows with floral carving from the west.

    The pretty maid went out, leaving Xiang Shaolong standing in front of the door. He really has no idea what the material that Lady Ya, who was still lying in the chaise, was made of. Maybe it’s made with silk mixed with something else, as it was radiating. Her earrings were made from pretty jade, a golden hairpin gleaming in her hair, pearls decorating her clothes, her skirt light and sheer, her body emanating a heavy fragrance.

    The shape of her face is extremely pretty, her brows well drawn, her smooth skin fair with a tinge of red, extremely alluring.

    The most intoxicating part is her idle yet alluring pose, her mature and enchanting ways, compared to Wu Tingfang, she is another kind of beauty who certainly did not fare any worse.

    She cannot be any older than 25, right in the prime of a woman’s life.

    Xiang Shaolong’s interest is already piqued, but in order to conquer this beauty, he deliberately pretended to be unaffected and proud, and walked boldly forward, stopping 5 paces in front of her, bowed and said, “Xiang Shaolong pays his respects to Lady Ya.” After he finished speaking, he stared boldly at her alluring body but did not reveal any lecherous look at all, and looked as if he’s just admiring a plaything on one of the shelves at the outer hall.

    Lady Ya laughed coquettishly, emitting a clear, crisp voice that sounds even nicer then bells and said gently, “Xiang Shaolong! Take a seat!”

    Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly and sat down suavely. He looked deeply into her pretty eyes, but did not speak.

    Madam Ya said unhappily, “I’ve never seem someone who look at me with such disrespect and audacity, don’t you know my status?”

    Xiang Shaolong smiled lazily, and replied with indescribable confidence, “How would I not know Lady’s status, but it still does not change the fact that I am a man and you are a woman. I’m admiring Lady the way a man will look at a woman, and this shows that Lady’s allure is enough to make me forget about your higher status.”

    Lady Ya was stunned, and sat up straight.

    Xiang Shaolong’s gaze dropped to her perk bosom, this time he is not pretending.

    Lady Ya exclaimed angrily, “How rude! What are you looking at?”

    Xiang Shaolong knows that it’s time to stop, so he said with a serious and respectful expression, “Since Lady does not like me revealing my true feelings, then feel free to punish me.”

    Lady Ya was a little helpless as she replied, “Forget it! Do you know why I summoned you.”

    Xiang Shaolong very much wanted to say of course he’s here to sleep with her, but of course he dared not reveal this, so he said calmly, “Of course I do, Lady wants to see if Xiang Shaolong is the thing that Lady has been looking for all this time.”

    Lady Ya’s pretty eyes lighted up, and after exchanging a long look with him, said, “Humph” and laughed, “I’ve never seen a man more conceited than you.”

    Xiang Shaolong stood up with a smile and bowed, “Since you are so displeased with me, then I shall take my leave.” And turned around to leave.

    Lady Ya did not expect him to do this and exclaimed angrily, “Stop there, or don’t you want your life anymore.”

    Xiang Shaolong turned around and said with a charming smile, “Lady please don’t be upset, actually how can I bear to leave. I just wanted to see if Lady will ask me to stay and spend the night.”

    Lady Ya was in a flurry after being attacked by his brilliant eyes, overpowering charisma and strong words, making her look even more alluring.

    The last ray of the sun finally disappeared from the west under the plains outside the city of Handan.

    The small hall became dark, throwing this couple into a mysterious environment.

    Xiang Shaolong walked to a small table at Lady Ya’s side and knelt on the rug, reached out his hand, took the kindle from the table and lighted the exquisite lamp made from jade.

    Under the light, Lady Ya’s eyes became two round and bright rare black precious stones.

    Xiang Shaolong secretly thought to himself, this is the first time since he arrived that he tasted such a romantic ancient atmosphere. He must have the beautiful body beneath that fine silk tonight no matter what, and totally conquer both her body and her mind.

    This is the dream of every man who has ever seen her, and he is no exception.

    He moved towards her as he knelt, grabbed her shoulders and said gently, “Do you want me to treat you as a Lady or a woman, would Lady please tell me.”

    Lady Ya realized that there’s no way she can play coy any further, so her body softened and she fell into his arms and said with a soft sigh, “Why must Xiang Shaolong force me thus?”

    Xiang Shaolong lifted up her delicate chin, tilting her head up and kissed her gently a dozen times on her lips before giving her a hard kiss. He used all his kissing skills learnt from porn movies and comics as well as his most tried and tested effective skills to flirt with this beauty. He took the opportunity to move his hand down, sweeping past her bosom and soft waist, his palm pressing down on her taut and fiery tummy.

    Lady Ya’s writhed her body, her whole body lightly trembling, her breathing getting more and more rapid, her tongue’s reaction getting more and more intense. Obviously she is starting to get aroused.

    Xiang Shaolong left her fragrant shoulder, looking at her heavy-lidded eyes lovingly and asked emotionally, “Is Lady happy?”

    Lady Ya revealed a look of loss and said quietly, “Am I happy? No! I never dared to think of this question.”

    Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed, beautiful women always have hard lives, and the responsibility of course falls on the men. But beauty is as short lived as a dream, so there’s not a lot of beauties who can be happy when their beauty is slowly fading.

    Ancient beauties are thus short lived, never allowing others to see them growing old.

    Therefore Lady Ya wants to hunt handsome men for pleasure while she’s still in her prime. But modern research papers have pointed out that such mindless sex will not make one happy.

    So Xiang Shaolong came straight to the point and asked her this question. Lady Ya immediately revealed her true feelings unconsciously, because he has touched a sore spot.

    Xiang Shaolong wanted to remove her belt.

    Lady Ya smiled coquettishly, and grabbing his hands, suddenly pulled him up and said happily like a little girl, “But I know I’ll be very happy tonight. Here! Come to my room, I’ve prepared food and wine and we can chat and drink at the same time, all right?”

    Lady Ya placed the wine cup at Xiang Shaolong’s lips, a flirty smile on her pretty face and said, “This is the first cup of wine, Shaolong shall we each drink half of it?”

    Xiang Shaolong was secretly laughing that no matter how noble is her birth or how high is her status, she is still a woman who needs the love and care of a man. So with this point, he will be able to make himself irresistible to her.

    The only way to conquer her is to treat her like an ordinary woman, and the most important thing is to make her feel that it’s better to be a woman then a Lady.

    He’s very confident that he can accomplish this.

    The only question is how important Lian Jin is to her, because he is also a very attractive man.

    Lady Ya can be considered to be another battlefield for him and Lian Jin.

    He drank half a cup of wine from Lady Ya’s hands, and suddenly kissed her on the mouth, slowly passing the fine wine into her tiny mouth.

    Lady Ya gurgled but she has no strength to push him away, so she can only drink his half-cup of wine obediently. Her pretty face blushed, and even her enchanting dimples were reddened.

    Xiang Shaolong left her tiny mouth, gently taking over the cup from her fingers, and before she had the chance to protest, poured it into her tiny mouth that was panting quickly. He said gently, “This half cup is mine, so don’t you drink it into your pretty belly.”

    Lady Ya rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, her fragrant lips already locked with his, the wine in her mouth sucked dry by him.

    The two of them separated. Either Lady Ya is a bad drinker, or she is too heated by desire, but she moaned and collapsed into his arms.

    Xiang Shaolong has no wish to conquer this noble beauty so soon, so he tilted her face up and scattered hot kisses on her hair, face, ears and neck.

    click to show/hide spoilers
    Lady Ya finally removed all her barriers and guards, and was panting and moaning, unable to control herself.

    Xiang Shaolong’s hand slipped into her clothes, lovingly kneading the smooth and supple thighs and tummy, teasing her tender and soft skin inch by inch, not missing a single spot and said gently, “Do you have they feeling of being toyed by a man now?”

    Lady Ya asked, “Are you really not leaving me with any dignity at all?” and she continued moaning.

    Xiang Shaolong’s hands stopped but he did not take them out of her clothes. He tilted his head and looked at this beauty with a head of messy hair, disheveled clothes, with a pair of fair legs and half her bosom exposed to the air. The corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile and he asked, “Can I take a close look at Lady Ya’s body?”

    Lady Ya replied hoarsely, “You have touched it so many times now, and yet you’re still asking me?”

    Xiang Shaolong looked heavenward and laughed loud and long. The heroic air he exudes melted Lady Ya’s heart immediately, and she lowered her head and said submissively, “Look then! You can look all you want.”

    Xiang Shaolong knows that he’s getting closer to success, or else she would not behave with such abandon and obedience.

    His hands immediately started, at times gentle, at times wild, and a little brutish as well, beginning the actual attack on her.


    The night passed like that.

    She is no longer a lady of noble birth, but a shameless woman in heated desire enjoying her lover’s ministrations.

    Every second is filled with fiery desire.

    The joy between a man and a woman drove into Lady Ya wave by wave, making her delirious. She cried out the name of this lovely yet hateful man madly, touching and hugging this perfect male body, feeling his explosive strength and his seemingly endless intense attacks, reaching the fiery peak where soul meets desire time and again. In the past when she was with other men, she’d always chase them away immediately after the act and sleep alone, even Lian Jin was no exception. But tonight she has no wish to leave this man’s embrace even for a moment.

    But only for tonight.

    Everything will be different tomorrow, no man will be able to make her surrender.

    She only wants to capture men, but does not wish to be captured, because that would be too torturous.

    She fell into a deep sleep in her daze, and when she woke up it’s already late in the morning.

    Xiang Shaolong is already gone, only leaving behind on the blanket a yellow chrysanthemum freshly plucked from the garden.

    Lady Ya clutched tightly at the stem, a sweet and satisfied alluring smile appeared on her pretty face.

    i keep wondering if all these sex scenes are necessary to the plot . i'm assuming much of huang yi's readers are men, yet so far, the novel greatly resembles the fluff from romance novels. tehehehe.

    come on, fight scenes! can't wait! thanks for working so hard with the translation, jean.

    I'm beginning to wonder the same thing. Not that I don't like sex scenes, but I much rather have fighting / plotting scenes than sex scenes in every chapter. Having great generals like Lian Po or Bai Qi mentioned along with porn movies in the same chapter just doesn't feel right to me.

    That reminds me of the "Saturday Night Live" skit with Al Gore.

    Kekeke seems everyone has accepted the fact of XSL having sex in every now and then... When I first read the novel I can't stand those r-rated scene as well but as time went by, I just felt that it's part of XSL's character oh well...

    Most of the famous general names like Bai Qi & Lian Po are only mentioned as reference for the famous Battle of Changping or other battles. I thought XSL's knowledge of history of china is limited but instead he can remember quite a no. of great people of that era hmm...

    new chapter....

    ***********************************************

    Book 1 Chapter 11 – The Affections of a Beauty

    When Xiang Shaolong returned to the guesthouse, Tao Fang is already waiting for him.

    After Chunying and the rest of the maids carried in their breakfast, they left.

    Tao Fang sniggered and asked, “Is that flirtatious horse exciting?”

    Xiang Shaolong replied from the bottom of his heart, “Extremely exciting.”

    Tao Fang stopped smiling and said seriously, “Master brought up the issue of your duel with Lian Jin to his Majesty, his Majesty was very happy and chose the duel to be at dusk the day after tomorrow. I think it’s best that you do not tangle with women for these few days, conserve your energy. You must win this duel.”

    Xiang Shaolong replied with some embarrassment, “Don’t worry! I’m the kind that of person that, with more women I have, the more energetic I am. If there are no women, I’m more lethargic instead.” When he saw that he looked doubtful, he added, “Don’t forget that on the night we dealt with the horse thieves, Ting Fangshi was sleeping with me.”

    Of course Tao Fang does not know that he did not copulate with Ting Fangshi that night, and after looking at him with admiration, said, “Now you’ve become the center of attraction in Handan, and on the same par as Master, even Guo Zong, who made his fortune from ironworks, was asking about you.”

    Xiang Shaolong exclaimed in surprise, “What? There’s actually someone else who is equally wealthy as our Master?”


    Tao Fang replied, “There is only one such person in the state of Zhao. If we were to measure the number of Master’s livestock using valleys, then the weapons that Guo Zong made from iron can be measured using ships. Not only did he supply weapons for the whole of Zhao, but also to all the other friendly states, earning a large sum of money.” He lowered his voice and continued, “Because of this, his Majesty is more fond of Guo Zong than our Master, because Master’s Father is a half-Qin, that’s why he has such a strange name.”

    Xiang Shaolong’s heart lurched, as if he has a hazy idea, but is unable to describe it clearly.

    Tao Fang added on, “I received confidential news last night, that rascal Wu Tingwei is very displeased with you, and very much wanted to have your Yan nobility, Shu’er. That’s why he has decided to disregard Master’s orders and will kill you before your duel with Lian Jin. It seems like I will have to bring you along to pay a call to Young Master, so that that rascal will not dare to make any rash moves.”

    Xiang Shaolong was still thinking about the matter regarding Master Wu having Qin blood in him. No wonder he wanted so much for a Zhao to win Lian Jin, but maybe that’s not what he truly felt, but did this to show the Zhao Emperor that he is totally on their side. That’s why he refused to speak up for the Yans, and instead gave a beauty like Shu’er to him because of this thinking of his.

    In the warring states period there is nothing more important that bloodline, so from this it can be seen what a difficult task it would be to unite the people from so many different countries. When he heard what Tao Fang said, he asked, “Will Lian Jin be helping that rascal deal with me?”

    Tao Fang is really open with him now, and did not try to hide anything, saying “Even if you put a sword to Lian Jin’s neck now, he would not dare to start the fight first. That scoundrel went around picking fights because he wanted to get his Majesty’s attention. However his Majesty has always ignored him, and even told the people around him that he’s not happy that our Master have found a foreigner to make our own swordsmen look bad. Not that he’s got this chance, he would not want to spoil it.”

    Xiang Shaolong thought that this King Zhao is so narrow minded, how can he every accomplish anything great. He said with a laugh, “Without Lian Jin, I’m not afraid of that rascal, he can’t possibly find a few hundred people to attack me, right?”

    Tao Fang was extremely impressed with his humor and chortled, “Of course not, and besides, he has to do this secretly. But it’s still better to pay a call to Eldest Young Master. Among Master’s 17 sons, Eldest Young Master is the most capable and is in charge of all business with other states. And he has a beautiful daughter Wu Tingfang who may have the opportunity of becoming the empress, but his Majesty is still hesitating about accepting Young Grand Missy because of Master having Qin blood in him. The nobility in the royal family are all objecting to this.”

    Xiang Shaolong is getting all confused from all these. Things that look very simple on the surface, is actually extremely complicated, so he nodded his head and replied, “All right! I’ll pay a call to Eldest Young Master once I have the chance.”

    Tao Fang replied, “What chance or no chance, I’ll take you to see Eldest Young Master immediately. We need to gain the upper hand and not let Wu Tingwei strike first.”

    Xiang Shaolong furrowed his brows and said, “At least let me change my clothes first!”

    Tao Fang laughed, “Hurry up! I’ll wait here for you.”

    Xiang Shaolong slipped back into his room hurriedly.

    Shu’er and the 4 maids were rushing to make his warrior clothes so that he can wear it to see the King of Zhao. Xiang Shaolong’s mood turned for the better, and his hands started roaming over the 5 ladies and enjoying their careful ministrations at the same time, making his one mistress and 4 maids all blush to their ears before he left with Tao Fang on horses to the Wu residence.

    They came to the bustling martial arts practice field, went around the large mansion where they say Master Wu the other day, walked past a garden to another grand courtyard.

    The two of them were invited to wait in the large hall.

    After a while, a warrior walked out and invited Tao Fang in, leaving Xiang Shaolong alone, who wondered why that Eldest Young Master did not see them both?

    At this point in time that warrior walked out again and told Xiang Shaolong, “Would Master Xiang please follow me!”

    Xiang Shaolong followed him and went into another side hall first before abruptly turning left into a garden.

    Xiang Shaolong was suspicious, and that warrior’s steps quickened suddenly. Right at this time, there was a flash of sword, and 2 long swords shot out from the bushes on either side, aiming straight at his left and right side.

    finally, some real action and i'm not talking about the kind in the bedroom. frankly, those scenes are boring me. meaningless sex doesn't pull my interest. i was just thinking that if wong jing was to make an adaptation of this story, it would really be NC-17 lol! man, tvb did a whole lot of altering to the story. aside from the names of the characters, there are very little similiarities so far. XSL's personality got butchered.

    jean, you are amazing. getting back to the cliffhangers, eh?

    to continue.... and yes, don't you guys love cliffhangers?

    and this time it's all action... i mean, fight action, not the bedroom kind.

    ************************************************** *******

    Luckily he has an intuition long ago, and without advancing or retreating, just stood on the spot and drew out his sword. “Clang clang”, not only did he force his enemy to retreat, but he also injured one of them.

    30 odd warriors came out from the bushes and behind the tress, and one of them is Wu Tingwei, and he was heavily surrounded.

    Xiang Shaolong stood there holding his sword, obviously not afraid at all.

    Wu Tingwei hid behind the warriors and called out arrogantly, “Dog slave, let’s see where you can escape this time.”

    Xiang Shaolong smiled suavely and replied, “This time? I don’t think I was the one who escaped the last time, right?”

    Wu Tingwei had thought that he would beg for mercy, and did not expect him to be so merciless with his words. He was furious and roared, “Kill him for me.”

    Xiang Shaolong is such an experienced fighter, and he understands the logic of striking the enemy first, especially since he is outnumbered now. Wu Tingwei has just opened his mouth but he has already turned into the crowd of warriors with his sword, slashing and kicking, like a tiger in a herd of sheep, seriously injuring a handful of them, thus interfering with their movements.

    The warriors have never fought in such a way that is totally without rules but seeks only efficiency, besides they are afraid of this action that will clearly defy their Master’s orders, and on seeing his bravery, most of them just stood there for show.

    Xiang Shaolong was furious with Wu Tingwei for molesting Shu’er yesterday, so he was totally ruthless in his attacks, executing the Mozi swordplay to perfection. His movements were mysterious, ever-changing, broad movements yet his techniques were exquisite, suddenly attacking and retreating, with a flying kick once in a while. In short time, his opponents were all staggering in chaos.

    Under the orders of Wu Tingwei, the warriors had no choice but to charge, and they fell one by one, either stuck by the sword or a kick. None of the attacks are fatal, but just enough to make them lose the ability to fight back.

    In the blink of an eye, only the 10 warriors standing in front of Wu Tingwei protecting him were left.

    Xiang Shaolong gave a cold snort, his pair of cold and aggressive eyes staring icily at Wu Tingwei, his sword pointing forward, walking strongly and steadily step by step towards Wu Tingwei and that 10 warriors.

    Wu Tingwei did not expect him to be so brave and sharp, felling 10 odd men and yet he’s not even panting. He felt a shiver, and while ordering his men to attack, he retreated towards the back instead.

    Xiang Shaolong will certainly not let him off, so he dashed forward, his sword slashing. One of the warriors raised his sword to block him, there was a ‘clang’, and that warrior actually fell and rolled to the ground with the impact. Obviously the strength of his arm is extremely frightening.

    All the warriors were startled, afraid that he will injure Wu Tingwei, and they all converged with their swords ready to attack.

    But this time Xiang Shaolong did not press on his attack, instead he executed a series of movements to defend himself.

    Two of the warriors thought that he is now exhausted and were about to take the opportunity to attack but they suddenly realized that their opponent’s defense was so tight that they have no way of attacking. Even more alarming is that his defense secretly allows him to attack at will as well, holding them at bay, giving them a feeling that they can no longer retreat.

    That is the essence of the Mozi swordplay, hiding an attack while defending. When Xiang Shaolong was fighting with the last Juzi of Mohism, Yuan Zong, he was unable to execute any offensive moves at all. The 2 men now is far worse than he was in the past, so naturally their attacks are negligible.

    The 2 of them panicked and were about to retreat when there was a flash of sword and the two warriors fell back bleeding.

    Xiang Shaolong took this opportunity when everyone else was in a frenzy to dash past his enemy’s protective barrier and go straight towards Wu Tingwei.

    Wu Tingwei hardened himself to stand still and defend with his sword.

    But who would have expected Xiang Shaolong to rapidly retreat again, right into the midst of the advancing warriors.

    After felling 4 warriors, he leapt towards the retreating Wu Tingwei.

    “Clang!”

    A series of 7 sword attacks, Wu Tingwei was forced into the woods by him and the remaining warriors collapsed on the ground.

    “Dang!”

    Wu Tingwei’s sword flew out of his hands, his back knocked onto a large tree. His face paled and he yelled, “What a bold slave, how dare you be rude.”

    Xiang Shaolong’s eyes shot out an icy cold stare and said frostily, “If you have the guts, call me slave again.” The tip of his sword pointed at this conceited young man’s throat.

    Xiang Shaolong is not at all concerned that others may come here, because this is something dishonorable, so Wu Tingwei must have made arrangements to send the nearby servants away.

    Wu Tingwei was frightened by his forcefulness that even his body started shaking and asked hoarsely, “Do you dare to hurt me?” but he still do not have the guts to take the risk of calling him slave.

    Xiang Shaolong’s face was expressionless and asked quietly, “Where is Master Tao?”

    Wu Tingwei was almost crying when he said, “I only sent some people to hold him back!”

    Xiang Shaolong secretly thought to himself that he wouldn’t dare to go overboard anyway, so he smiled and asked, “Grand Young Master, you don’t believe that I’ll hurt you? All the more I want to blind you in one eye, let’s see if you’ll believe me.”

    Wu Tingwei saw that his smile was cold and heartless, and is even more chilling than if he was fierce and furious. He finally broke down and exclaimed, “No!”

    Xiang Shaolong’s long sword continued towards its goal.

    At the same time Wu Tingwei was screaming, a dainty gasp was heard from behind Xiang Shaolong.
