Chapter 531: 531: Hall of Water’s Trial (16)

After Yue Huashui had disappeared from the Clam Manor, using the teleportation rune left on him by his master, he was summoned back to the inner world carrying numerous gifts he bought in the mermaid clan’s territory. There is a huge mansion found in the inner world owned by the Moon Goddess and this is where the ordinary dogs and cats of the Yue Clan resided. Most of them had mutated and even gained sentience.

Because of this, most of these pets were now able to cultivate and eventually break through the limited lifespan of ordinary pets. As soon as he entered the mansion gates, small and big, all welcomed Yue Huashui’s arrival. Tons of mixed breed dogs and cats had welcomed him.

The sentient Snow Lotus Flower, Yue Huaxue, welcomed her brother with their other siblings.

"Gege, you are back! Are there gifts!?" She asked.

Yue Huashui pats her head and says, "Of course! I have gifts for everyone. All souvenirs from the mermaid clan. Try it, most of it is seafood though. Call Aunt Liger and let’s all eat together."

Everyone in the mansion had enjoyed the food Yue Huashui had brought over. He had also sent the two huge clam monsters he had caught before. He left it for his siblings to eat and most of it ended up in the stomach of the Baby Liger and the golden lotus flower who hasn’t gained its human form yet.

Yue Huashui noticed that his sister doesn’t seem to eat any of the monster clams he had brought back.

"Are you not eating, Xuexue?" He asked worriedly.

Yue Huaxue said, "I don’t need it for now. It’s better to leave most of it to the younger ones so they can evolve faster. Gege’s gifts from before are enough for me."

Yue Huashui pats his sister’s head and says, "I will gather more next time. You should eat it when the time comes."

"Are you leaving now, Gege?" Yue Huaxue asked.

Yue Huashui nods his head, "There is a trial I need to complete. Don’t worry when we found a hall that fits your elements, Mom will definitely let you out as well."

"Then I will wait for that to come," said Yue Huaxue.

After bidding farewell to his siblings, he came out of the inner world and returned to the clam manor where everyone was busy cultivating their rooms. Only the couple, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were in the living room currently in guard duties. Both of them were almost at the peak of their realms and they weren’t feeling any signs of breakthrough. They decided to rest for a while and let others cultivate first.

Xue Renxue said, "Brat, you are back. You should also get ready. Tomorrow everyone decided to go to the arena and get registered. The plan was to try the beginner level first. You want to go?"

"Of course! I want to! I want to meditate first and rest at the pond outside,"

Seeing the excited little one running out of the mansion, Tan Bingyu stares at Xue Renxue with narrowed eyes.

Tan Bingyu said, "Don’t fool around. The plan is only to register one of us tomorrow and try the arena. If Shuishui threw tantrums tomorrow it would be on your head!"

Gulps

"That shouldn’t happen right, Bing’er?" Xue Renxue asked.

But Tan Bingyu didn’t give him an answer, responding with only her eyes rolling at him. It was at this moment that Xue Renxue knew he had kicked his own foot. He prayed that the little boy would not cry at the arena because of his words.

However, his wish was not heard. The moment Yue Huashui heard that only one of them were to register and this one person happens to be Monk Hu Gu, his cries resounded in the whole arena as he wanted to be the one to fight instead.

BOOHOO~

Seeing a child crying his all, the mermaids and other foreign races couldn’t help but stare at their group with judging eyes. Knowing this they left the culprit for the situation to handle the crying boy.

Tan Bingyu said, "I told you not to tease Shuishui."

"What should we do with this? Should we register him and Monk Hu Gu together?" Tan Shenyu asked. He also tried to stop the little one from throwing tantrums but it was useless.

It can be said that among the group, the one who wanted to enter the arena the most is Yue Huashui.

Xing Suiri said, "Let him join. They will just register at the beginning level anyway."

"Hm~." Xia Baiyu was doing some calculations and looked at both Yue Huashui and Monk Hu Gu.

All of the sudden, he looked at Monk Hu Gu with a weird expression. Everyone noticed it.

"W-What’s wrong?" Monk Hu Gu felt uncomfortable with that strange expression on Xia Baiyu.

Monk Hu Ren asked, "Is there something wrong with my junior brother?"

"Well, I foresee seeing him suffer a bit but there is no danger to his life. It’s just that..."

Xia Baiyu’s words were cut off as Monk Hu Gu carried the little boy, Yue Huashui to register. Upon hearing that his life will not be in danger, he no longer hesitates and joins the fun with the little one. Seeing the two childish ones in the group, Monk Hu Ren approached Xia Baiyu instead.He couldn’t help but ask the rest of his divination.

Monk Hu Ren asked, "Is it possible for this monk to ask what the benefactor had seen that involves my junior brother."

"It is true that his life will not be in danger. However, the ones registered at this time were mostly young and new female warriors. Monks stay away from women and alcohol. He... He would suffer a lot of cuddling and kisses from them because of his involvement with Shuishui. Plus, the beginner level arena is a battle royale so..."

Xia Baiyu didn’t need to complete his words as most men felt envious of Monk Hu Gu while Monk Hu Ren felt this was a chance for his junior brother to strengthen his will and not to be affected by material things. As a monk, in their eyes everything is pure and equal.

After Monk Hu Gu and Yue Huashui registered for the beginner level of the arena, the female mermaid at the register had a cunning smile on her lips as she narrowed her eyes at the two. One boy who looks so cuddly cute and a young man with clear eyes looking innocent and naive of the world. Xia Baiyu and the others who were watching saw that when a man tried to get registers the registrar would throw them out.

Among those who came to register as a male,male Yue Huashui and Monk Hu Gu were the only ones that were approved. All other men who went to copy the two were thrown out.

The female registrar smiled at them and said, "Your names have been recorded. Please come with me."

Monk Hu Gu and Yue Huashui were about to follow inside when they heard someone complaining outside.

"Those two brats just now are also males! How come they were allowed to register! Unfair!"

"Fuck off, you ugly thing. If you want to fight that badly, register tomorrow instead!"

"Today is reserved for new and young female warriors. You perverts are not allowed in!"

Unfortunately, the two youngsters had already been dragged towards the arena’s stage and didn’t completely hear what was said outside. As for those who were left behind, they looked at one another and felt that things had gotten too interesting.

Xia Baiyu fake coughed and said, "The two younglings are in luck with women. That was unexpected."

"I think you just want to register yourself but don’t want to get thrown out like the others," Xing Suiri said.

Xia Baiyu didn’t deny and instead pulled out a few tickets from the audience’s seat. With these tickets they will be able to watch what would happen on the arena’s stage.

He said, "Since we can’t fight with them, how about supporting them by watching from the sidelines."

Everyone took a ticket and it was immediately split among themselves. Clearly, they all wanted to see what kind of arena the beginner level stage has. After entering the audience’s area, they went to their designated seat and saw a round stage surrounded by lava instead of water. After all, mermaids aren’t afraid of water and they can hardly be harmed by it.

Standing at the center of the round stage were Yue Huashui and Monk Hu Gu who were looking around with shocked faces. The one that surrounded them was a new and young female mermaid warrior staring at them like a piece of meat. Monk Hu Gu was terrified by such eyes and couldn’t help but hug Yue Huashui in fear.

Monk Hu Gu stuttered as he spoke, "W-Why... Why are there only women in this group? Are they telling us to fight them? B-But this monk doesn’t hit women."

"Brother Gugu, can you let go of Shuishui before saying these words? You look like you’re afraid instead," said Yue Huashui. "Also, Mom said, it’s okay to be gentle towards girls as long as they aren’t bad girls."

Monk Hu Gu was about to calm down with Yue Huashui’s words when suddenly he heard the whispering among the ladies who were on the same stage as they were.

’So cute~’

’Looking so innocent~’

’I want to take a bite!’

’Can I kiss or hug them?’

’Calm yourselves ladies. We can’t scare these cuties~’

’Haha~ finally some decent men~’

’One of them seems to be a monk!’

’No worries! Monks can be converted~ hehe~’

The more Monk Hu Gu hears the paler his face is. He started chanting sutras in his mind and even wanted to close his eyes and turned deaf at this moment. For the first time in his life he feared women and how scary they were in his eyes. Being stared at like a target for sexual harassment, Monk Hu Gu tried to run away as soon as the gong that signifies the beginning of the fight was heard.

He carried Yue Huashui as he ran in circles while being chased by women. What made it funny is that Monk Hu Gu was screaming as if being chased by zombies instead of gorgeous female mermaids.

"Ah~ Stay away from me!!!" Monk Hu Gu shouted with great fear imprinted on his face.

At the audience area, Monk Hu Ren pinches his temple at the scene. Xia Baiyu, Tan Shenyu and Xue Renxue were laughing their asses out. Xing Suiri felt that they can’t learn something useful from this kind of sample and decided to close his eyes to meditate instead. Tan Huangyu watched the scene calmly while Tan Bingyu hit the three men who were gloating at the hardship of Monk Hu Gu.

The Arena’s Battle Royal after Yue Huashui started catching the female mermaid and imprisoning them inside his bubbles. The comfort inside is top notch and it even helps heal the hidden fatigue and injuries of these young warriors. As thanks for this, the female mermaid warrior forfeited one by one for Yue Huashui’s sake.

In the end, the only ones who remained were Monk Hu Gu and Yue Huashui. Considering they are from the same team, the organizers let it be considered one win for both of them.
