Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1447: End and Start

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The sky had been covered with stars when Zhang Tie and his wives left Anyan Palace on the red carpet.

Not until he got on the vehicle did Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh.

Zhang Tie felt pretty tired dealing with so many people in such a societal situation. It felt even more tiring than fighting demons.

Zhan Tie couldn’t remember how many people had he dealt with during the past 2.5 hours. Actually, he was surrounded by people in the whole process.

Many people in the ball didn’t know that Zhang Tie had known Cecilia and fought demons with her in the earth-elements realm. After seeing that Zhang Tie invited Cecilia for a dance, many people had figured out Zhang Tie’s “hobby”. Therefore, more and more beauties appeared on Zhang Tie’s side later on.

Lords’ wives, queens, princesses, grand duchesses, ambassadors’ wives and beautiful knight-level female military officers made Zhang Tie confused.

Watching more and more beauties around Zhang Tie, more and more people felt that Zhang Tie liked various beauties.

In this case, even though Zhang Tie wanted to explain that the relationship between him and Cecilia was not as what others imagined, nobody might believe him. Through this national banquet, Zhang Tie estimated that his “dissolute” temperament would go abroad and spread over all the continents and subcontinents.

Zhang Tie was really mistaken this time.

“Who’s that foxtrel who blocked you and whispered to you beside the fountain when we left the rear courtroom? She was so close to you and purposefully pushed your arm using her breasts while moving her lips on your tears. When she left you, she even licked your ear and almost wanted to swallow you. I’ve seen that...” Bai Suxian hugged Zhang Tie’s army as she asked him in a spoiled way.

Soon after Zhang Tie leaned against the comfortable back of the back seat and watched the vehicle being started, he had been surrounded by his wives for an “interrogation”.

As Zhang Tie had been surrounded by too many beauties at the ball, even his wives felt jealous about that.

“Which one are you referring to? I’ve no impression of her...” Zhang Tie said as she kneaded his temple.

Zhang Tie really couldn’t remember it. During the 2.5 hours’ ball, over 20 beauties had whispered to him. Although being in Anyan Palace of Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie felt being surrounded by those girls of Rose Association back in Blackhot City.

“That blonde in red low-collar ceremonial robe!” Fiona pouted her mouth too as she added, “That woman is too shameless. I saw that she came here with her husband, arm in arm. How could she seduce you in the end...”

“Don’t be stupid, Fiona. I’ve also seen her entering the ball with a fat old man. That old man might have long been paid head to Zhang Tie. Perhaps he told her to seduce Zhang Tie...” Beverly said scornfully.

“Why?”

“Nothing is impossible. As for some men, a woman is nothing serious compared to what they could acquire from Zhang Tie. In some countries, even after getting married, male and female could still have lovers respectively. Even if their women bring their lovers back home, they would not mind it either; instead, those men might leave home for a drink, leaving the bathroom and bedroom to their wives and the lovers of their wives...”

Zhang Tie racked his mind as he finally got that woman in his mind. Her perfume was very special and seductive. Her white rabbits were also very plump, which almost jumped out of the collar of her red ceremonial robe. Not until the ball came to an end did that woman get a chance to approach him and have a brief chat with him. What counted most was that the woman allured him too evidently, “She might be a queen of Phila Kingdom in Canaan Subcontinent. She even appointed me to have a drink with her in her villa in Xuanyuan Hill...”

Canaan Subcontinent was similar to Waii Subcontinent in size, with an ocean in between. It’s in the south of Taixia Country. The Phila Kingdom was just a middle-level country in this subcontinent. Only a few clans had knights in this country. With such a humble background, Phila Kingdom’s queen and king were destined to be trivial costars on such an occasion. When Zhang Tie was surrounded by representatives of more powerful countries, the representative of Phila Kingdom was not even qualified to approach him. Of course, she could only catch a chance to have a brief chat with Zhang Tie when the ball was coming to an end.

“Shameless...”

“Foxtrel!”

“Drink what? I’m afriad that that woman wants to drink your ‘tea’...”

Zhang Tie’s wives instantly pouted. As the last woman teased Zhang Tie too evidently, she irritated all of Zhang Tie’s wives at present. They might not mind Zhang Tie being dissolute occasionally as his wives were fewer than that of common knights. Actually, Zhang Tie actually didn’t have a liking for sex. However, they minded it very much when other women seduced Zhang Tie too evidently in front of them, which was actually violating their private territory as women.

“Don’t be jealous anymore. As a queen, she would do whatever she could for her country, family, social status and what she cares about at this moment!” Zhang Tie shook his head as he comforted his wives.

Actually, Zhang Tie didn’t look down upon those women who approached him and wanted to tease him; instead, he felt sympathetic and pitiful about them. Zhang Tie knew what those women wanted and prepared to sacrifice. Most of the women were just men’s tools or at most a piece on this occasion no matter how brilliant they were and how valuable their jewelry was.

“Won’t you taste these foreign beauties?” Bai Suxian whispered to Zhang Tie as she slightly moved her lips on Zhang Tie’s ear, licking Zhang Tie’s auricle like how those women teased Zhang Tie in the ball and causing his ear itchy, “It’s said that wives cannot match concubines and concubines couldn’t match mistresses. How could you be not interested in that with so many beauties around you? I suggest Elder Sister Yan to accompany you on similar occasions in the future. With Elder Sister Yan on your side, no other woman would dare to approach you...”

“Interest in what? After attending this national banquet, I’ve already returned a favor the o crown prince. Additionally, I’ve been fed up with Xuanyuan Hill and don’t want to stay here anymore. Let’s go back to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory after I deal with some things...” Zhan Tie said with a smile.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, all his wives cheered up.

As for these women, they didn’t feel Xuanyuan Hill was better than Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Therefore, the news that they were going back to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory drove them ecstatic.

Watching his wives’ excited looks, Zhang Tie leaned against the back of his seat as he looked at the roof of the vehicle. He was thinking about what happened just now. Although it was a national banquet, it was actually circling around fiery oil. The performance of fiery-oil weapons in the Western Theater of Operations had showed “travelers” in “desert” a sweet spring. As a result, those countries facing the threat of demons on the Western Continent and those subcontinents charged at him, ignoring any result and their images...

Zhang Tie had long predicted about this result; however, he had not imagined that the tide of fiery oil could arrive so fiercely.

Over 2 years, fiery oil had not been fully spread over Taixia Country; however, this tide had rolled over the entire human world in an overwhelming manner along with his rising reputation after his heroic deed at Weishui River...

Honestly, Zhang Tie had not thought through how to make good use of this opportunity. Therefore, he was a bit passive.

Not until then did Zhang Tie suddenly realize that he lacked a wise and insighted adviser.

How could he find such a person?

...

After returning to Qianji Manor and having a short communication with his elder brother and Elder Muyuan in his study room, Zhang Tie had known that Zhang Yang and Elder Muyuan had a similar encounter in the ball. Those foreign women who approached Zhang Yang didn’t go for Zhang Tie anymore. Elder Muyuan was surrounded by many high-level officials and their relatives, who inquired about the marriage of Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang. Some relatives of officials even proposed to unite Zhang Tie by marrying their kids...

Zhang Tie told Zhang Yang and Elder Muyuan how the crown prince got rid of Fang Keyan and what Meng Shidao had promised him in front of the crown prince.

After hearing that the crown prince treated Fang Keyan as a remnant of Heavens Reaching Church, Elder Muyuan shook his eyebrows as he finally became reassured. After hearing that Meng Shidao had promised that the Gobbling Party would not interfere with the Northeast Military Region, Elder Muyuan dropped off tears as he quivered his lips at once.

“Since Lord Huaiyuan was forced by the Gobbling Party to leave for Waii Subcontinent about 100 years ago, Huaiyuan Palace had been covered by the shadow of Gobbling Party. Even though we’re back to Taixia Country, we would still behave meticulously as if treading on eggs. The name “Meng Shidao” was always like a mountain on the top of Huaiyuan Palace. Elder Mushen kicked off the mountain and stood up to him equally. If Lord Huaiyuan’s soul knows it, it would also smile. From today on, Huaiyuan Palace’s disciples could finally hold our heads high; instead of being troubled by the Gobbling Party. Thank you so much, Mushen!” Elder Muyuan said as he stood up and bowed towards Zhang Tie deeply.

“Don’t do that! Don’t do that! Elder Muyuan, you make me embarrassed!” Zhang Tie hurriedly helped Elder Muyuan to stand up, and said, “As the grand elder and descendant of Huaiyuan Palace. It’s my responsibility to protect the fame of Huaiyuan Palace’s forebear and make the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace feel no regret!”

“This is really a good news for Huaiyuan Palace. I will notice the clan head and all the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace right away!” Elder Muyuan said as he started to send messages to them.

...

Deep night, inside a backroom of the Youzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion, Youzhou City...

After sensing the spiritual wave, Zhang Taixuan, who was holding a top-class water-element crystal and absorbing it, immediately opened his eyes...

Lowering his head, Zhang Taixuan looked at the remote-sensing crystal finger ring which was exclusive to him, the head of Huaiyuan Palace, as his eyelight changed slightly. Only after a few seconds, he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

However, in less than 5 minutes, Zhang Taixuan’s eyelids had quivered a couple of times. At the same time, the veins on his hand bulged as his blood meridian went wild grimly. Closely after that, he broke that precious water-element crystal into pieces.

The broken crystals tore his palm, causing his palm to bleed heavily. Zhang Taixuan opened his eyes again. After throwing a distant glance at his bleeding palm, he let out a deep sigh as he ended his cultivation. Putting his hands on his back, he tightly clenched his bleeding palm and exited the backroom.

There was a garden outside the backroom. It was pretty tranquil outside there. He was in the forbidden region of the provincial governor’s manor. The bright moonlight filled the void, dwarfing the sea of stars.

The nightscape was pretty good. With hands crossed on his back, Zhang Taixuan looked up at the sky with a dismal eyelight. He muttered inside, “A shadow knight and divine dominator at his 30s could kill a heavenly demon knight by striking it 9 times with a rod, convince the owner of Fantasy Women Palace and force the Gobbling Party to retreat Northeast Military Region; the main character in the national banquet held by the crown prince who controls fiery oil and all-purpose medicaments. Why? Why?” Zhang Taixuan moved that palm being covered with minor injuries and blood in front of him and opened it before saying, “I am the owner of Huaiyuan Palace. I should be the most powerful one in Huaiyuan Palace. Why am I dwarfed so much by you as the head of Huaiyuan Palace and the Youzhou provincial governor...”

The injuries were like wide open bloody mouths on the faces of clowns, which were jibing something in a hilarious expression. The colorful finger ring reflected the moonlight.

At the sight of the gloomy light reflected on the finger ring, Zhang Taixuan’s eye light turned fathomless.

A black shadow had already appeared behind Zhang Taixuan as it knelt down on the ground by one knee.

“How’s that going?” Zhang Taixuan asked calmly without turning around.

“It’s all in the control of you, my master. You could let it come to an end whenever you want...” The black shadow said in a muffled voice.

“You can leave. Don’t make any movement without my consent...”

“Yes, sir!”

The black shadow disappeared out of the void in a split second.

Zhang Taixuan looked up at the bright moons again as his eye light became icy this time...
