Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 143 - When Shit Hits The Fan

The grip on her sword tightened as she gritted her teeth and swung the sword in a downward slash!

“Army On The Horizon!”

****

Feng Yu’s shout heralded the eruption of the somatic essence in her body in a wave as it channelled through the sword in an instant!

This was the martial technique that Long Di bought for her at the auction. It was a High-Rank Mortal Grade martial technique known for its ferocity!

The wave of somatic essence was like a furious army ravaging the land as they charged onwards with steps tempered in battle for death or glory!

The wave destroyed several of the sword strikes, causing the youth’s eyes to widen slightly in shock!

However, that was it. After all, he just casually released an attack while she had to execute a martial technique to fend off the attack. The difference in levels became painfully clear at this point.

Ping! Pang! Pling!

Feng Yu tried to quickly destroy the rest of the remaining sword strikes, but a single one, the one the youth released in jealousy, broke through her defences and left a deep cut on her upper chest!

If it was even an inch higher, it would have run through her neck!

Feng Yu’s knee met the ground as she held her chest in pain. Blood kept pouring out and her somatic essence-empowered body had trouble healing the injury right away like it normally would.

Jia Yan, who was behind Feng Yu, was angered to no end!

He held Tie Lang, who held him with one arm while the other one gripped the handle of his axe.

“What right do you have to take our kill?” he tried his best to remain civil, so he directed his question towards the woman since she seemed to be the one in charge.

However, her response was something that he never expected her to say.

“When you’re done with her, gouge out his eyes for daring to look at me and cut out his tongue for speaking to me,” the cold woman said without turning her head.

“Consider it done, milady,” he declared.

The youth came right before Feng Yu with his sword raised high, intending to finish her off before moving on to Jia Yan. “I won’t waste any more words on trash! Be on your way!”

“Let that sword fall and your life will be hurried from the realm of the living,” A voice filled with killing intent echoed out, causing the youth’s movements to pause.

The cold beauty looked up to see Zi Yu staring at her with her chin held high. Her single rune-covered horn, ebon-hued hair and dark blue skin, which carried an alluring glow, coalesced into a beauty that caused even the youth to stare despite himself.

The woman, seeing that Zi Yu carried herself with much more elegance than the riff-raff, paid some attention to her. “What authority do you have to stop my—”

“Who gave you the right to talk to me?” Zi Yu cut her off with an ‘I’m-more-arrogant-arrogant-than-you,’ tone.

The woman was speechless in the face of this. In any other setting, she would be the unreasonable one. Yet it was like this woman was running a competition… and winning by the looks of it.

However, this was to be expected. After all, Zi Yu’s status as the heiress and young miss of the Zi family was not a title to be taken lightly.

The only reason why her arrogance and status weren’t highlighted before was because Long Di, and by extension, his friends, didn’t give a flying banana about it. Combined with the fact that Yaomu Shou would have slapped the blue off her skin in the face of any arrogance, she was grounded in more ways than one.

In fact, it was Yaomu Shou that sent her to deal with this. The former was so angry at the current sequence of events that she was afraid she might kill these two idiots without a second thought.

As a result, she sent Zi Yu in her stead. It was also a good chance to see what the young miss of the Zi family was really like.

“You’re not going to lower that sword of yours?” Zi Yu asked the youth in a cold tone.

She wielded a fan that hid her mouth from view. As she asked this, she lightly fanned herself with it as she stared him down.

“M’lady?” he looked towards the woman, a bit unsure.

“You’re going too far!” the woman remarked, anger finally creeping in.

“And you’re not!?” Zi Yu snapped at her. “You’re going to kill these kids because they’re standing up to you for stealing their kill and you’re shameless enough to say that I’M going too far!? Are you serious!?”

“Who cares for these beggars!? What are they, your slaves!? Your servants!? Do you truly want to offend us for some minions!?” the woman couldn’t understand Zi Yu’s intentions.

“They are not minions, servants or slaves. Though I cannot call them friends, they’re not people you can touch!” Zi Yu spat out the last word as if to make it sting!

“I intended to settle this peacefully with you since you appeared to be of a higher breed. It seems, however, that I was mistaken. A pureblood does bark like a mongrel if it hangs around them. We are from Nether Immolation War Temple! This entire region is under our jurisdiction!” as she said this, the disdain on her face grew.

Zi Yu’s expression changed multiple times when she heard this. Many things could be discerned from her words, and Zi Yu knew she found herself a troublesome person to deal with for several reasons.

“Feng Yu, Jia Yan, Tie Lang, let’s go,” Zi Yu decided.

“But Zi Yu!” Feng Yu didn’t want to leave like this.

“Listen to me please,” Zi Yu looked at her with pleading eyes.

The woman smirked when she saw this. It was to be expected, of course. The overseers of a region had a sort of hegemony over it where their word was law!

Seeing this, Feng Yu relented and decided to leave with Zi Yu and her apprentice brothers. They were leaving behind the red-skinned salamander.

“Wait!”

Zi Yu’s expression changed as she turned around to the woman, wondering what she stopped them for.

“That girl there,” she pointed at Feng Yu. “She insulted me and my escort. Leave an arm and she can go.”

“Excuse me?”

“That girl there,” she pointed at Feng Yu. “She insulted me and my escort. Leave an arm and she can go.”

It was at this point that shit, very poetically, hit the fan.

“E-Excuse me?” Zi Yu looked behind her with a look of shock. She even trembled as she did.

“You heard me,” the woman said without missing a beat.

“No, I didn’t,” Zi Yu started to pick her ear, wanting to wipe away any earwax arrogant enough to occupy her ear canals.

“Could you say that again? I seem to have an ear thing at the moment,” she asked as she finished ‘picking,’ her ear.

“Have ‘HER,’” she pointed at Feng Yu once more, “leave an arm as a price for her ignorance. Weaklings should never offend the strong.”

This bitch was crazy.

“You…!” Zi Yu was almost about to lose it.

“And him,” she then pointed at Jia Yan. “Have him leave an eye behind. I allow no man to look at me without my permission. He’s lucky I’m merciful enough to leave him with an eye.”

“Anything else?” Zi Yu stopped trembling at this point. This was way beyond that at this point.

“Now that you ask, you can also pay up 150 spirit stones and we can put this matter behind us,” she said finally, feeling smug.

Don’t let the fact that Long Di dropped so many spirit stones earlier at the auction take away from the fact that spirit stones aren’t cheap.

They were a resource whose necessity knows no bounds.

“Does it have to come from her and him?” Zi Yu asked with a smile.

“Do you want to pay up in their stead?” the woman asked. “I don’t care. Leave an arm and an eye along with the spirit stones or don’t even think about staying in this region!”

“Do it!” Feng Yu said, extending an arm and shocking everyone present.

Zi Yu gave her a side glance filled with apathy, “understood.”

“Senior-apprentice si-”

“Shut up!” Feng Yu scolded Jia Yan for speaking up. “Take the eye from me too,” she advised.

Zi Yu said nothing in the face of this. Her cauldrons silently materialised behind her just as they did before.

Then…

Fwhip!

Zi Yu snapped her fan shut before anyone could react.

Pu Ci!

Blood erupted like a fountain as an arm fell to the ground with a thud.

Shu!

Feng Yu herself looked at the arm on the ground with widened eyes, but before she could look back at Zi Yu, the fan was already curving through the air as it took an eye next!

Plop!

“A-Aaaahhhh!”

As it fell to the ground, a bloodcurdling scream bellowed out!

Zi Yu curtly shook her fan to cast off the blood that stayed behind. She looked at the youth who was now missing an arm and the woman who was missing an eye.

“There’s your eye and arm!” Zi Yu coldly announced.
