Love from the Male Protagonist’s Harem - Chapter 46-2

LFTMPH Chapter 46—Old-Age Insurance Part 2

Translated by Snowfall77

[Come On Host, Cheer Up……]

The system made a lazy token effort, but its heart wasn’t it.

Distracted from her lamenting, Xia Ge tried to pep her system up: “Little puppet, don’t be too disheartened!  Have you ever heard the saying……”
The system’s disinterested spirit was practically visible to the naked eye, but it went ahead and asked: [Oh, What Saying?]

Xia Ge tried to sound profound: “Where we’re from, there’s a saying by the great Lu Xun——”

“A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood——”

“And there’s also the warrior who dares to face down their own bullshit!”

System: [……]  Do you think it isn’t damn clear you made that last part up?!  Lu Xan is rolling over in his coffin right now, fuck!

Restraining itself, the system said: [That’s Very Vice, Warrior, But Now This Warrior Needs To Hurry Up.  Look At The Time, The Roll Call Is About To Start For The 3rd And Last Time.  You Might Not Be Able To Make It On Time……]

However, even as the system’s voice fell, Xia Ge was already moving!  Generally, when the system borrowed Xia Ge’s line of sight, it was like watching HDTV.  But now that HD screen blinked out and morphed into something like an old CRT TV from the nineties.

Everything had turned blurry and florid.

Caused by {ghost and shadow} being overextended!

The system felt its data fritzing and shrieked: [Are You Crazy?!]

Speeding so fast, how would Xia Ge’s wound withstand it?!

“I’m going to get in, one way or another!  I’m too outstanding, too shining!  Danfeng’s inner disciples–this year I’m going to be one of them!”  Xia Ge declared.

——So what if she didn’t register……

Just so long as she is good enough to blind other people’s titanium alloy dog eyes, she can get through the inner gate!

Wind rushing past her ears, Xia Ge continued pushing {ghost and shadow} to its very limit.  The scenery was flashing by and her face stung, but Xia Ge simply gritted her teeth: “I——can be a warrior too!”

System: [……Host, Warrior, No, You’re Reopening Your Wound!]

Xia Ge bared her teeth: “It’s nothing, warriors dare to face the dripping blood—it doesn’t hurt!”

System: [It’s A Fucking Hurricane Of Blood You’re Facing Right Now!]

“It’s all for security in my old age……no, for all the bragging I did before, no, for the promise I made!  What’s a little blood?!”

System: [……]  It’s about old-age insurance, isn’t it?  A pension in your old age, right?  You’ve already said it, trash.

Danfeng’s Field.

At the foot of Danfeng, a wide field was neatly arranged with many copper furnaces.

Just like Jianfeng’s tournament, set up for spectators was an east platform, a west platform, and a north platform.  Seeing as how it was Danfeng’s event, Gu Peijiu sat on the north platform, accompanied by other Danfeng disciples.  The west platform was for Shoufeng disciples and the east one was for Jianfeng.  As Jianfeng disciples tended to be high and mighty, there were usually very few of them there to observe.  But this time there was a restless crowd of them.

Coolly glancing over, Gu Peijiu noted the young girl in blue and white dress seated to one side, wearing a sword.  Her black hair was tied back with a blue ribbon, her face pale like jade, her round, light brown eyes were bright and fierce, her red lips were pressed thin, and her posture was ramrod straight.  All in all, the pride and dignity of a Jianfeng disciple radiated from her.

She was Jianfeng’s alternate great disciple……Chu Yao.

A trace of surprise glinted in Gu Peijiu’s eyes.  How unexpected.

Behind Gu Peijiu, Danfeng disciples were whispering: “……is that the eldest daughter of the Chu family?”

“The one who won 【Jianfeng Wenling】twice?”

“Why would she come to watch Danfeng’s entry examination……”

“She must be here on a whim……a young lady like her, with her rank, she must have seen the highest grade dans made, so why see the lowest——maybe she’s broadening her horizons.”

“Hahaha, here’s your chance, Lu Qi.  Why don’t you run down there, refine some Bigu dan and open her eyes?”

“How about I fucking open you up?!”

“……”

A dispassionate Gu Peijiu: “Quiet.”

The noisy disciples behind her instantly fell quiet, finding renewed determination to comport themselves with dignity.

Ye Ze, dressed for now in his Danfeng clothes, stood by Gu Peijiu’s side.  Eyebrows furrowed, he couldn’t hide his anxiousness.  While the other Danfeng disciples were chattering about Jianfeng’s alternate great disciple, he didn’t even bother to look over at her.  Instead, his gaze stayed glued to the entrance.

The roll had already been read twice.

Gu Peijiu would watch the sky, and in a half hour, the roll would be called for the 3rd and last time.

And anyone not present would be automatically disqualified.

Her own brow smooth, Gu Peijiu ran her eyes down the list of names before resting on the last one, her expression unreadable.

Where are you?  Are you really going to break your promise?

鲁迅[Lǔ Xùn]

pen name of Zhōu Shùrén, China’s foremost writer of the 20th cent. and strong advocate of writing reform (1881-1936)

A true warrior who dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood is a famous saying of Lu Xun, from Lu Xun’s “In Memory of Lord Liu Hezhen”.

It means that the real brave is the one who dares to face the cruel life, and can face life and death more calmly.

The article “In Memory of Lord Liu Hezhen” was written after the March 18 massacre. In March 1926, the Fengtian warlords entered Bingguan with the support of Japanese imperialism, and the National Army led by Feng Yuxiang fought against the Feng army. The Japanese imperialists publicly aided the Feng army, sent warships into Daku, and shelled the National Army, killing and wounding more than ten defenders.
