Translating Sloth

Night, a full moon emitting light in the gloomy sky, but unable to illuminate the starless night sky. A wave of black clouds drifted, blocking the only bright light from time to time. Seemingly foretelling the arrival of a massacre. Zishi (11pm-1am the hour system in olden times), the dark clouds swallowed the moonlight. Xin Ci was jolted awake by the sound of fighting in the courtyard, heart filled with incomparable anxiety, unsettled, quickly grabbing a piece of clothing he ran to the front hall. In the courtyard, two groups of people were fighting each other right there. One group dressed in black, each covered in a veil, eyes flickering with a penetrating radiance, again adding somewhat to the darkness of the night. One group dressed in blue. All brave, each one standing near surrounding their Master, Shen Zhanghong, not letting him be slightly injured. In the door of the front hall, a man dressed in black concealed in the dusky shadow, coldly watching everything. With ease ...

The man smiled in contempt. Walking to Xin Ci’s side, his one hand lifted her chin. Examining this ordinary looking woman, it should be said she looked very delicate, He couldn’t see a speck of conspicuous makeup. The man lowered his head closer to Xin Ci, sniffing, there was a hint of a very fragrant scent. All the men in blue stood up vigilantly. “Let go off your hand.” The man pretended not to hear his words, continued to look at Xin Ci. Xin Ci wiped her tears looking at the man, she slowly stood up. And broke free of his hand. Grasping his hand slightly, the sudden emptiness caused him to miss the slender and smooth sensation from before. He looked at the woman, she just unexpectedly looked at him, not surprised, her emotions did not change a bit. She, really is special. “Take this woman away, kill the rest with no mercy.” “Wait.” Xin Ci stood in front of the men dressed in blue, her expression was unusually calm. It was unimaginable that those who had just died were...

Gradually a ray of light appeared on the horizon, slowly. The whole earth lit up. Xin Ci slightly laughed with sadness, this is a sunrise? At noon, Xin Ci vaguely saw ahead of the trees was a very large castle. Is this his mansion? What did father and mother actually owe him? The man stopped the horse in front of the entrance, immediately jumping from the horse with Xin Ci in his arms. Xin Ci straightened her body, looking at the extravagant mansion in front of her, It seemed as cut off from the rest of the world as a palace, at the entrance two lions made from gold under the sunlight emitting a dazzling light. Above the main entrance on the flat surface was impressively written the word “hidden”. Here was the hidden castle everyone in the Jianghu (please google) knew about, its location apart from those inside the castle, was unknown to outsiders. Legend has it the hidden castle had every sect’s martial art secret book, even more a method to decipher them. Everyone wanted t...

Xin Ci at the window watched Nangong Wu Qing gradually walking away, her expression sombred. He, what kind of person is he? Rubbing her slightly painful head, she turned and walked to the bed and lied down. Too many things had happened tonight, she needed a good rest. Seeing the maids still busying around the house, she slowly closed her eyes. The maids finished decorating the room, saw the sleeping Xin Ci quietly left. Just as they stepped out of the door they commented and gossiped. “The second Master of the house has been in the castle for many years, he has never been intimate with any woman. How could he just leave for 2 days and bring back a woman to get married.” “I don’t know, but once Lady Fei Yan returns we’ll see, she’s admired second Master for many years.” “Yes, yes, it’ll be best for us to stay away, even the Master cannot keep Lady Fei Yan under control when she has a tantrum.” “It’s useless, who made it that the Master only has one sister, babying her.” ...

Xin Ci tightly clutched the apple, sitting quietly in the room, the maids stood neatly holding a tray to the side. So marriage is this tiring. Xin Ci who had not eaten all day or night, was even more tired now. Following a sound, all the maids humbly stood on ceremony. “Second Master,” Nangong Wu Qing looked at the person sitting quietly on the bed, he slightly approached. “All of you can leave.” All the maids looked at each other, this part of the etiquette hasn’t even begun, how… “Do you need me to repeat myself?” The frightened maids put down the trays, withdrawing one by one. The room suddenly quietened down. Nangong Wu Qing lifted the wedding veil with a single hand, observing Xin Ci. Xin Ci also lifted her head to look at Wu Qing. The two of them did this for a long time, Nangong Wu Qing slightly frowned. Recovering his senses, Nangong Wu Qing helped Xin Ci remove the heavy coronet, taking her hand and sat at the table. “You didn’t eat all today, eat ...
