Shang says as he and Yuanshan watches Ah Zhu and Xiao Feng cuddles together as a couple.
Yuanshan beings to walk after watching them for a while.
Shang: Where are you going again?
Yuanshan: I miss my wife.
Shang: And tell her the good news?
Yuanshan: Good or bad news…. I don’t know.
Yuan shan: I only know I want to see my wife right now.
Yuan walks away.
At this point, Yuanshan would continue to follow Xiao Feng and kill the people which Xiao Feng had find responsible for the attack at Yanmen Pass thirty years ago.
With Shang’s involvement, he is unsure on whether to continue down this path of vengeance or just leave it at there.
Shang watches Yuanshan slowly walks away and turns his sight at the couple who is still cuddling together.
Shang: Congrats, Congrats, Little Zhu.
Shang says loudly as he slowly approaches the couple from afar
The couple who was startled by his voice, immediately stand from they are sitting.
Ah Zhu recognizes the approaching figure.
Ah Zhu: Mister Shang.
Xiao Feng: He is?
Ah Zhu: He is my lady’s martial teacher, Mister Shang of the Xuan Wu Sect.
Xiao Feng: Xuan Wu Sect? I never hear of that.
Ah Zhu: Of course, he just created it after accepting another disciple.
Xiao Feng: Eh? What a weird person…
Ah Zhu: It doesn’t matter if he is weird or not. He is still my lady’s marital teacher. Be sure to be respectful to him.
Xiao Feng: I understand.
As Shang reaches them, Ah Zhu and Xiao Feng gives a greeting bow to Shang.
Ah Zhu & Xiao Feng: Ah Zhu (Xiao Feng) is pleased to meet Mister Shang.
Shang rises them from their bow.
Shang: Ah Zhu, Didn’t I say there's no need with these formalities? You can even call me Brother Shang.

Ah Zhu: No matter what, formalities still have to go through.
Shang: Up to you then. And this is your chosen man?
Shang asks as he pretends not to know Xiao Feng.
Ah Zhu goes red and turns red when Shang says Xiao Feng is her chosen man.
Seeing Ah Zhu unable to reply, Xiao Feng speaks for her.
Xiao Feng: I am chief of Beggar Sect, Qiao Feng. No, it should be ex-chief.
Shang: Oh, The legendary Qiao Feng of the North.
Shang; This Shang Yinchao is pleased to meet you.
Shang gives a bow and Xiao Feng attempts to stop it.
Xiao Feng: No need for that. I, Qiao Feng is not a legend.
To that reply, Shang smiles and says.
Shang: It’s your deeds that make you a legend. It does not matter if you are one of the Khitan people. No one can wipe those deeds of yours.
Hearing that, Ah Zhu turns to Mister Shang with a surprised look.
Ah Zhu: Mister, you are not against one of the Khitan people?
Shang folds his arms and says
Shang: What’s wrong with Qiao Feng being one of the Khitan people? What I see here is not a people of Khitan or a people of Han. What I see here is a man who does what a man should do. Do you understand, Ah Zhu?
Ah Zhu smiles and say.
Ah Zhu: I understand.
Xiao Feng: Thank you for not condemning me as one of the Khitan people, Mister Shang.
Xiao Feng says while giving a bow.
Shang looks at Xiao Feng for a while.
Shang: You really look like your father.
Ah Zhu: Mister Shang, are you saying Qiao Feng’s father, Qiao Sanhuai?
Shang: That’s not his real father. His real father is Xiao Yuanshan.
Xiao Feng: What did you say!?

Xiao Feng grabs Shang with the collars.
Xiao Feng: What do you know about me! Tell me! What happen thirty years ago!
Ah Zhu: Brother Qiao, calm down.
Ah Zhu tries to release Xiao Feng’s hold on Shang but he’s too strong for her.
Shang: Young man, I think you need to cool your head a bit. First thing, you need to release your hold on me.
Xiao Feng finds himself releasing his hold from Shang without his control after Shang touches his arms lightly.
Xiao Feng's thoughts: He is a martial expert who is above me!
Xiao Feng: I am sorry I have overreacted.
Xiao Feng gives a bow as a sign of apology.
Ah Zhu: Brother Qiao….
Ah Zhu holds on to one of Xiao Feng’s arms.
Shang: It’s alright. If it’s me, I would do the same as what you did just now.
Ah Zhu: Mister Shang, can you tell us what happen thirty years ago?
Shang: Hmm… Thirty years ago, a group of Khitan people was attacked at Yanmen Pass due to a message from an informant that Liao is sending martial experts to attack Shaolin Temple and take its martial manuals. A team of martial experts are sent to Yanmen Pass to intercept the assault.
Shang: A Khitan couple who is on a trip to visit their in-laws is assumed to be part of the Liao assault. They were attacked and several martial artists are injured. One of the martial experts managed to land a stealth hit on the wife and this angers the husband. The husband went into a frenzy and killed the martial artists who are still standing.
Shang: Unable to bear the loss of his love and the loneliness without her, the husband wrote his will on the wall with blood and jumped off the cliff along with his wife’s body, leaving a baby behind.
Shang: That baby was you, Qiao Feng. Eh, Wrong. Your correct name should be Xiao Feng.
Shang says as he points at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng: So this is the place where my real parents died.
Xiao Feng is in tears as he goes down in on knees.
Ah Zhu: Brother Xiao…
That’s nothing Ah Zhu could do to console him.
Ah Zhu could only join Xiao Feng in going down on her knees.
After some time, Xiao Feng managed to gather his emotions and stood up along with Ah Zhu.
Xiao Feng: Mister Shang
Shang: Yes?
Xiao Feng: How do you know so much?
Shang: I don’t think I have the time to explain to you.
Shang says while releasing a messenger pigeon before turning to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng: What’s wrong?
Shang: Looks like your father-in-law is in trouble.
Xiao Feng: Father-in-law... That’s wrong. Ah Zhu says she is an orphan.
Ah Zhu: That’s right, Mister Shang, did you make a mistake?
Shang: Which orphan would have the character “Duan” tattooed on their body and carries a golden lock that has poem written on it?
Ah Zhu turns red and asks.
Ah Zhu: This... Mister Shang, how did you know about the tattoo on my body?
Shang: Eh? I only ask the ones who raised you up.
Shang’s thoughts: I can’t say I find out from the novel or I peek at you when you’re taking a bath.
Shang’s thoughts: Only those who raise you to be a maid would know about it
Ah Zhu says once she understands she had mistaken something.
Ah Zhu: I see…
Ah Zhu: Then who is my father?
Shang: King Zhennan of Dablit Guaif, Duan Zhengchun.

The Twin Lands
Join our heroine Enru on her journey in a world where humanity lives in perpetual light and warm while their enemies, the spider beings called Araxin, live in perpetual darkness and cold. Just because they live in the darkness and cold though doesn’t mean the Araxin want to stay there forever however, and this time their bid for the Southern half of the continent looks to be shaping up worse for humanity than ever before. Every ten years the planet nears its second sun in such a way that the Northern half of the continent warms and thaws and the Araxin enter a period of explosive growth, before always attempting to assault the humans in the South. Through events that you will need to read and discover yourself, sixteen year old Enru ends up vital to the survival of humanity, but can she succeed? In a world full of humans, dragons, giant intelligent spiders, trogs, behemoths lurking in the deep, magic, politics (can’t forget the politics) and more, what wonders await you? NOTE: This is my very first attempt at writing ever. Not just my first attempt I am showing people or my first attempt that went anywhere, but my first of any kind. I welcome constructive critisism and I know my grammar is not always the best. If something is majorly bothering you please leave a good comment or review on it rather than just a 0.5 rating and saying I suck. NOTE2: The main character will be gaining power that is, if used correctly, well above the standard for her race however I plan to implement it in such a way that she does not end up being crazy over powered and able to end every fight at her whim. She will struggle, she will lose sometimes and there will be loss along her journey to save her race. There will be no harem and I am unsure if there will be any sex scenes or even romance as this is my first story and I am not confident yet at being able to write that properly. So if you came here for the standard royalroad super OP guy that flies around having sex with every female character he meets, this is not that. Update Frequency: As this is my first story and I am still in the early stages, I cannot say how often updates will be. I lead a very busy life and this is a new way for me to relieve stress. I hope to be able to put out a few thousand words every few days at the least. Enjoy the story! PS. Cover was found on the website thedailybell.com, they did not source where they found it. I rotated and resized the image.
