Chapter Six Hundred and Nine – Princess Xia
“How can we stand by and watch! Everyone, even though Xiao Mo Ge is strong, if we surrender so easily, after this, all three princess will end up in the claws of this man. They will cry for the rest of their lives, just how tragic would it be! We all admire the princesses, how can we stand by and watch?”
A youth talked fervently facing the other youths.
However, while he was fervent, the other people were silent. The fight between Xiao Mo Ge and Shen Yu had stunned them, and planted the seed of terror in their minds.
This person was not demotivated and continued to talk.
“I know what everyone is worried about. This man is vicious and doesn’t bat an eye when he kills. If we face him head on, it is easy for us to be defeated. Therefore, we can only use cunning and not brute force.”
He stated what everyone thought and the crowd raised their heads.
A voice sounded, “Does Brother Wang have a good solution?”
The person that was so fervently speaking to the crowd was Wang Kun. He was a faithful follower of Princess Xin. When he learned that Princess Xin had invited Xiao Mo Ge, he had been furious. In a blink, Princess Wan had also sent an invitation to Xiao Mo Ge and this group of people exploded.
Shen Yu was dislikable but he only had intentions on Princess Xia. The suitors of the other two princess only watched. Shen Yu had been killed, but an even more vicious competitor had appeared, Xiao Mo Ge, and he had received the favor of all three princesses!
Something like this had never happened before! Never!
But everyone had watched the battle between Shen Yu and Xiao Mo Ge. Even the bravest of them did not have the bravery to openly fight back. Also, Shen Yu had been the strongest of them. Xiao Mo Ge had turned Shen Yu into ashes, and none of them were a match.
So their morale was low until Wang Kun revealed his idea and they raised their heads.
Wang Kun became more excited and said, “Xiao Mo Ge is powerful, and we naturally are not opponents in martial power. However, we have our own advantages. Xiao Mo Ge is just a brutish fighter. Would his fist be enough to break through the sky? We are of noble birth, well mannered and cultured, and have mobei, what does he have? His fists? When did we ever have to fight other people with our own fists?”
These young masters were all smart people and their eyes brightened.
Right!
When were they ever forced into a situation where they had to fight against other people themselves?
They competed in terms of their father’s status, wealth, servants, and family prestige, when did they ever compare based on their strengths?
Wang Kun said with a cold smile, “Shen Yu thought too highly of himself. The heir to the Shen Family was stupid he went to fight against Xiao Mo Ge! A body that is worth a thousand gold should not put themselves into danger! We are all worth our weight in gold, very valuable. Isn’t it stupid to smash ourselves against trash clay pots?”
“Brother Wang is right!” The people praised. This spoke to their hearts.
“This little brother has just realized this and has come to discuss with everyone,” Wang Kun said modestly. His tone changed and he said, “Since we understand our advantage, then it is easy. The three princesses want to recruit Xiao Mo Ge but he is just one expert. However, if all of us unite, the power that we represent is not something that Xiao Mo Ge can compare to. I believe with the intelligence of the three princesses, it will not take them any effort to realize this!”
“Yes, yes!”
“Yes!, What is Xiao Mo Ge, can he compare to us?”
The people started to grumble.
Wang Kun waited for the noise to die down slightly before immediately following up with, “But we cannot just speak and not act, who will believe us? We need to show our muscle. Everyone, return and send letters home! It is easy to find an excuse. Just say that we are pursuing the princess, and the princess is show slight favor. However, there is a strong enemy and we need the family to send strong reinforcements. Everyone should be very skilled at this, and I do not need to waste my energy speaking on the specifics.”
When the people heard this, their eyes were aglow.
“Brother Wang is peerless in intelligence! This idea is very good!”
“Brother Wang has a clear plan. This one admires you! And once the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion appears, the old people in the family will not be able to sit still!”
“Yes, even more importantly, we did not lie! Haha!”
A thread of smugness flashed through Wang Kun’s eyes. “When the experts from everyone’s families gather, I believe that we can exterminate Xiao Mo Ge with a little finger!”
Everyone roared with laughter. When they imagined that scene, they felt extremely good.
Suddenly, someone suggested, “Why don’t we ally together and swear to kill Xiao Mo Ge!”
The people agreed.
Wang Kun was overjoyed inside and said gravely. “We are all the young masters of our families, and have come for the princess. Why don’t we call ourselves the Gentleman’s Flower Protecting Alliance, what does everyone think?”
Everyone nodded. This name was accurate.
With this The Gentleman’s Flower Protecting Alliance was formed.

“I need to know your plan,” Nanmen Xue said.
“Naturally,” the mystery male said, “according to our information, there is a set of conditions to open the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion. Even now, we do not know what the conditions are, but Shi Yue Yi should know. Therefore, we have been observing Shi Yue Yi. However, he has Yu Shuang and Chang Yuan Hao with him and increased the difficult of this task. We have still managed to obtain some information.”
“What did you learn?” Nanmen Xue asked in a deep voice.
“Shi Yue Yi seems to be very interested in Xiao Mo Ge.”
“That is normal.” Nanmen Xue had a scornful smile on his face. “Xiao Mo Ge was able to defeat the Peacock King Plume and there are many people interested in him.”
“No!” The mystery male was not angry. He shook his head and said, “Xiao Mo Ge was able to cause the Shifting Star Sands but what most people did not notice was that the place where he caused it was the Mo Skill Steles.”
“This does not mean anything,” Nanmen Xue said.
“Qi Diao Yu noticed,” the mystery male said, “and the woman next to Xiao Mo Ge also noticed. The two met at the stele where Xiao Mo Ge had caused the Shifting Star Sands and had a fight. It is a pity that we were not able to hear what they said.”
“So you feel that Xiao Mo Ge is the key to entering the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion?” Nanmen Xue said.
“He is the most likely Shi Yue Yi’s target,” the mystery male said.
“What do you want me to do?” Nanmen Xue was straightforward.
“You will go challenge Xiao Mo Ge,” the mystery male said.
———
Zuo Mo’s brow creased. In the past few days, he had been pondering how to obtain information from Princess Xia about Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng, but even now, he did not have any good ideas. He shook his head. He could only act according to the situation.
When the servant of Princess Xia saw Zuo Mo, they came forward to welcome him and said respectfully, “The princess has been waiting a long time for Sir.”
Finishing, the servant led the way.
Following behind the servant, Zuo Mo secretly asked Pu Yao and Wei.
“What solutions do you have?”
Pu Yao said coldly, “It would be best if you do not think of trying to hold her hostage. The An Wei family will have arranged for a very powerful expert to guard every generation of princess.”
“Then what?” Zuo Mo asked helplessly.
“Think of a way to move her,” Wei suddenly said.
“Move her?” Zuo Mo was stunned by this way of thinking.
Wei did not reply and Zuo Mo looked at Princess Xia.
Princess Xia was lazily reclining on the sedan. There was only a light layer of silk on her body and what was underneath could be barely made out. Her left hand was propping up her chin, her waist and behind drawing out an arousing curve that caused people to uncontrollably swallow.
When had the innocent Little Mo Ge ever seen such a scene. His face immediately turned red and he stopped in his steps.
However, he quickly composed himself and repeated in his mind
–This was war!
Raising his head, his eyes imperceptibly flickered across the surroundings. As expected, in the shadows close to the sedan, there was a female attendant standing silently.
Zuo Mo’s heart shook. This middle-aged female attendant was most likely the expert that Pu Yao had spoken off. When he paid attention, Zuo Mo noticed that the middle aged attendant did not have any presence. If Zuo Mo’s gaze did not see her, then he would have been unable to detect her.
An expert!
Zuo Mo did not dare to move rashly.
“Sit.”
The lips parted and soft words that softened one’s bones came out.
This was war! Zuo Mo recited to himself as he sat down.
“You are very nervous.” Princess Xia looked amusedly at Zuo Mo. The plump and white wrist was propping up an extremely beautiful face whose eyes were full of feeling.
“Hahaha, no no,” Zuo Mo laughed. His mind turned furiously. Move her, how could he move her?
Princess Xia smiled and looked interestedly at Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo did not know what to say and remained silent.
The room suddenly quieted and the atmosphere became awkward.
In his sea of consciousness, Pu Yao and Wei heartlessly bombarded him.
“You need to speak, speak more, form a connection, do you understand?”
“A Zuo, you cannot move women by doing this! You need to speak more.”
“So embarrassing! Too embarrassing! How can I have such a student as useless as you? You aren’t even able to talk to a woman!” Pu Yao was furious.
“A Zuo, this is a one in a thousand chance!” Wei led on.
“Say what?” Zuo Mo said helplessly.
Pu Yao and Wei’s voices stopped.
A moment later, Pu Yao raised his head and said with a furrowed brow, “Weather? Hobbies? Outlook on life? What do women like? Right, Corps Commander was a woman, what did she like?”
Wei also had a pondering expression. “What did Master like the most … … let me think … … wait! I remember!”
“What?” Zuo Mo and Pu Yao spoke at the same time.
“Fighting!” Wei’s face was excited. “What Master liked the most was fighting! Fighting, endless fighting! Master once said that only fighting could cause her to become excited, only by fighting would she feel that she is different from the common rogue! Oh, but what is a common rogue?”
“It describes women that are unacceptable.” Pu Yao explained with a profound expression.
“Is Princess Xia one of the common rogue?” Zuo Mo asked.
“Of course not!” Pu Yao and Wei answered at the same time.
Zuo Mo immediately realized and nodded vehemently. He said murderously, “I understand!”
Translator Ramblings: AKA the Spoiled Young Masters Alliance. Zuo Mo doesn’t know how to talk to women because he seems to treat them like another species.
Thanks for the chapter
“When were they ever forced into a situation where they had to fight against other people themselves?
They competed in terms of their father’s status, wealth, servants, and family prestige, when did they ever compare based on their strengths?”
And they wonder why they can’t win the princess’ favor.
LOL, you make me think they’re not pursuing the princesses but matchmaking the princesses with their fathers 😂
They are trash, what can you expect of them.
Thanks for the chapter 😀
Woot 2nd. Lol of course the princess isn’t a common rogue Zuo Mo. Welp we all know unless they have beautiful feet he wouldn’t be interested.
Lol. People trying to give a happy death to Zuo Mo, death by Jingshi. And 3 stooges who don’t know how to talk to woman.
Wang Kun waited for the noise to die down slightly before immediately following up with, “But we cannot just speak and not act, who will believe us? We need to show our muscle. Everyone, return and send letters to our Daddies! It is easy to find an excuse. Just say that we are pursuing the princess, and the princess is show slight favor. However, there is a Big Bully and we need the family to Fix his wagon. Everyone should be very skilled at crying to daddy, and I do not need to waste my energy speaking on the specifics.”
When the people heard this, their eyes were aglow.
“Brother Wang is peerless in intelligence! This idea is very good!”
This is what I read at that part… lol
Thanks
.
5th . Thanks for the chapter 😀
Later the The Gentleman’s Flower Protecting Alliance was completely stripped of their belongings under the hands of the infamous Guard camp. XD
Thanks for the new chapter!
And becoming a true gentleman that run around naked
No, no, it is just that Zuo Mo’s scalping skill is so awesome and thorough that it makes them want to show the BARE truth about themselves 🙂
*crazy lich exp. Log reference*
I think you might’ve meant rogue. Rouge is dastardly/skillful person.
I miswrote. Rouge is red makeup, she is probably not calling herself a pot of red makeup
Nah, it seems about right. Common women of the lower classes often would wear lots of rouge in order to appear more attractive so they became known to the upper classes as such. Prostitutes also had such practices but it’s likely the former since she wouldn’t be likened to a Booker by her admirers.
Thanks for the new chapter
>> Translator Ramblings: … Zuo Mo doesn’t know how to talk to women because he seems to treat them like another species.
I totally didn’t expect that Pu and Wei had the same problem as Zuo Mo 🙂
I mean, it kinda makes sense. Pu was around that commander woman in his time, in the middle of war. Wei…well, he’s pretty much a spirit, not exactly a lot of chances to hit on people.
Pu is a high-ranked cultivator and a senior member of the yaomo military. Such people are normally not young, leading one to believe that Pu, too, was not young and should have had some experience with real women and not just female battle-maniacs like his commander.
Wei, before he became an armour-spirit, was a highly-ranked cultivator of his tribe. I never expected him to be totally clueless as well 🙂
Me neither.
But I guess by now we should know that Pu and Wei’s real expertise is ‘Bullsh*tting in the most devious / gentleman like way’.
dubious misunderstandings…. also setting the stage for ge to create chaos.
Those three “rouge”s at the end should probably be “rogue”s.
Pu Yao and Wei give Zuo Mo crap for not knowing how to talk to women before realizing that they themselves don’t know either. I like that scene, their interactions in general are one of the most amusing aspects of this series.
thanks for the chapter!
>> …common rouge …
This should be “common rogue,” right? Rouge is either a cosmetic product or a colour.
Is it just my imagination, or does it really sound like Pu and Wei only just realized that their deceased boss was actually female? This might be one of the funniest chapters of WoC yet.
I’m about 40% sure it’s fine as is, since a rouge is probably referencing lower class woman putting on that. Rouge = red makeup usually put on cheeks to give the look of blushing essentially
In the dictionary, rouge as a verb = putting on rouge; while rouge as a noun = red make-up. Rouge is definitely NOT defined as prostitute or lower class woman with red make-up on her cheeks.
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
3 wizards..err.. 2 wizard and 1 zombie trying to find out the mystery of women’s likes and dislikes..
Result: women likes battles. If she doesn’t, then she’s a no-good woman.
Of course 😀 It is common knwoledge that Good Waifu is good at both cooking and battling. Right?
Soo if women like combat, they should also like stealthy guys, right? it’s part of battle *goes of to get hulking behemoth guard camp to perform the stealth dance of seduction*
Gentle woman = common rogue.
Beautiful woman = must aspire to be battle maniacs?
Thank you for the chapter!
..those old antiques…do they both only know the one woman after all this time?
Thanks!
Did Zuo Mo discover desire at some point? He never had any problem talking with Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng before.
He’s felt desire before, but remember it’s a running joke he thinks the desire’s an effect of illusion. He doesn’t know how to sex.
lol with xiao guo he basically a teacher and he barely talk to her at all. for li ying feng he treat her as an assistance also he barely talk to her at all.
He still talked to Li Ying Feng in the context of business, and the sword conference and all that. He took one look at Xia and was like ‘Help I do not know how to woman’
Now we FINALLY get to see why Wei and Pu Yao are really inside Zuo Mo. Birds of similar feathers, damn well flock together. Such comedy.
Thank you.
Amaze her with a giant chain formation of a water park?.
….For all their words, those two don’t know how “to talk with a woman” either. Lol
I really have to wonder why the princesses have such useless people following them. I thought their standards were supposed to be higher.
Lol, those two have no right to look down on anyone when it comes to women XD
Those people have decent backgrounds and are just their pursuers, not necessarily people they’re even considering marrying.
rats trying to think that, they could be a real companion with a white swan, but they are still just a normal companion.
Ancient joke
Dude how come you have so much money.
From writing.
Books?
No idiot. From writing letters to family to ask for money.
he is doing nothing wrong, since woman’s are a different kind of species, hard to comprehend.
Thanks for the chapter!
I don’t think pu yao and wei know how to talk with women looking at that last part.
Thank you for the chapter!
Still I am a bit surprised , Mo were supposed to be all about , strength above all.
How come now we have silk pants comedy group running around ?
‘Wang Shen became more excited and said, “Xiao Mo Ge is powerful, and we naturally are not opponents in martial power. However, we have our own advantages. Xiao Mo Ge is just a brutish fighter. Would his fist be enough to break through the sky? We are of noble birth, well mannered and cultured, and have mobei, what does he have? His fists? When did we ever have to fight other people with our own fists?”’
– Let’s see…*starts counting with fingers* Boss Mo has:
1) jingshi and rare items that make his enemies cough blood
2) Cloud jie + Fortress Turtle Island + more jie to come
3) multiple talented battalions + army of formation and forging maniacs
4) Lil’Miss <3
5) MC like Enforcer
6) Ancient Granpas (numbers of which are multiplying at every turn)
7) Animal Husbandry-kun aka Absent minded Professor
8) A Gui the Pretty Feet
9) The Lioness aka Heiress aka Daddy's Favourite Girl
10) Mysterious past + Amnesia (two things which every rich guy should have – according to kdramas)
11)…Oh, I ran out of fingers. Damn.
Anyway, those boys fail to understand that Zuo Mo wouldn't need to fight with his own fists either if he didn't want to. He has his evil minions for that. Though he fails to remember that quite often. Since he doesn't have a Sect. No, no, no. Just simple random guys following him.
Ge has A LOT of random guys following him… have we seen a normal guy among them yet?
Hmmm…*thinks hard*
Hmm-hmm…*thinks harder*
Hmm-hmm-hmm…*thinks the hardest*
*blank stare* Nothing comes to mind.
does kidnapped formation genius cultivator count as normal? Think he is the closes thing we got.
maybe some of the hired farmhands astonished and awed by the cutting edge farming formations as well, now that i think about it.
They may have been somewhat normal but I wonder, do they still qualify…? So much time has passed already. They may have been corrupted.
‘They competed in terms of their father’s status, wealth, servants, and family prestige, when did they ever compare based on their strengths?’
– *face palms*
‘Wang Shen was overjoyed inside and said gravely. “We are all the young masters of our families, and have come for the princess. Why don’t we call ourselves the Gentleman’s Flower Protecting Alliance, what does everyone think?” ‘
– *pukes*
Yeah, I would be embarrassed to be in an Alliance of that name. It’s sooooo not catchy hehe
‘ “Shi Yue Yi seems to be very interested in Xiao Mo Ge.”
“That is normal.” Nanmen Xue had a scornful smile on his face.’
– Me:”HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT? How did you know it is normal for weird ancient granpas to take unhealthy interest in pretty Lil’Mo? This must be a Conspiracy!” *looks around with wild paranoid eyes*
‘ “So you feel that Xiao Mo Ge is the key to entering the Great Peace Treasure Pavilion?” Nanmen Xue said.
“He is the most likely Shi Yue Yi’s target,” the mystery male said.’
– We all KNOW Zuo Mo is the key to every riddle in this universe *strokes fake beard*
‘“What do you want me to do?” Nanmen Xue was straightforward.
“You will go challenge Xiao Mo Ge,” the mystery male said.’
– And get yourself killed…or turned into minion.
‘ “Then what?” Zuo Mo asked helplessly.
“Think of a way to move her,” Wei suddenly said.
“Move her?” Zuo Mo was stunned by this way of thinking.
Wei did not reply and Zuo Mo looked at Princess Xia.’
– *Zuo Mo walks to Princess Xia, grabs her from the divan, throws her over his shoulder, walks across the room to another divan and dumps her there*
*Princess Xia stares at Zuo Mo wide-eyed and shocked*
*Pu-chan starts to laugh madly*
Wei sighs:”…That is NOT quite what I had in mind”
Zuo Mo:”But you said I should move her..?”
*Wei face palms*
*Pu-chan falls under table still laughing*
I half expected something like that hahahaha
‘ “So embarrassing! Too embarrassing! How can I have such a student as useless as you? You aren’t even able to talk to a woman!” Pu Yao was furious.
“A Zuo, this is a one in a thousand chance!” Wei led on.
“Say what?” Zuo Mo said helplessly.
Pu Yao and Wei’s voices stopped.
A moment later, Pu Yao raised his head and said with a furrowed brow, “Weather? Hobbies? Outlook on life? What do women like? Right, Corps Commander was a woman, what did she like?” —
“Fighting!” Wei’s face was excited. “What Master liked the most was fighting! Fighting, endless fighting! Master once said that only fighting could cause her to become excited, only by fighting would she feel that she is different from the common rouge! Oh, but what is a common rouge?” ‘
– Note to Zuo Mo: Never ask Pu or Wei’s help on issues concerning women. They may be ancient but they are also SINGLE.
They weren’t just SINGLE, they were also VIRGINS. 30 y.o. is a wizard, 60 y.o. is a sage, what does that make Pu at 3000+ y.o. and Wei at 10000+ y.o.?
You don’t know if they are virgins though … …
Every single time he sees a naked lady, he immediately uses his anti-illusion art. Sooo…… lmao
…the princess is LITERARY a different species tough… probably…
Gentleman is chinese slang for pervert. I presume that “Gentleman’s Flower Protecting Alliance” has a more… nuanced translation than that young master’s literal meaning.
Thanks for the chapter
Silkpant alliance, much wow
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! With advisers like these Zuo Mo is destined to be single forever.
Thanks for the chapter.
Bow this monday starts great.
The princesses job is to recruit talents… and they are escorted by a bunch of morons who conspirate against any talent they want to recruit? wot?
certainly, all the women in his life love to fight and usually stronger than him. except the little girl who was his nominal disciple.
WoC: taking over 600 chapters to finally encounter the arrogant young masters.
“princess is show” –> “princess is showing”
Also, yea, rogue instead of rouge, unless it’s supposed to be a pun.
Pu is a never-aging ancient handsome fella, but he pretty much fell and still is in love with his commander. In fact, I believe they were childhood friends as both as yao and he blindly followed the commander when he could have easily lead his own army. Also, he literally guarded Wei gravestone for thousands of years simply because the commander ordered him to do so. Although Pu may not want to admit it, unlike certain MCs and horny guys, Pu is the type of guy whom will reserve his love and body for the first person he falls in love with.
Uh, I’m not sure if it is romantic love … … but I like how you are filling in the backstory.
Thanks for the chapter!
Pfff, Zuo Mo… just like usual.
Wow he’s an idiot, why the hell did you barge in there if you didn’t have a plan? Your just making it obvious for her
I can’t wait to see the cry baby Xiao Guo wrung her eyes dry from crying when she found out how much trouble she gave her beloved shixiong. 🙂
But thinking about it, It wasn’t really practical to go through all this trouble just to rescue them. Author can just kill them with his pen.
