《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 809 – The Sea’s Edge
Advertisement
Dark lines appeared on Qin Yu’s forehead. What heartache was she babbling on about? Perhaps because she saw Qin Yu’s ugly complexion, she smiled and said, “I wanted to tell you that these two women are trouble. To prevent you from expressing the illness of showing kindness just because they are poor and pitiful women, I decided to offend them in advance.”
Seeing Qin Yu’s unconvinced expression, Dorelis raised a hand and pointed at herself. “Don’t be in such a rush to deny it. I am the best evidence.”
Qin Yu looked away. It wasn’t because he felt guilty but because Dorelis was a madwoman. It wasn’t where her finger had fallen, but rather how far it had fallen in. From how deep her finger had sunk, it was clear how large and bouncy that area was.
Yun Die rolled her eyes in the back. She thought that this hateful woman was playing tricks again. Throughout the entire trip, this woman had done everything in her power to show off her figure and try to entice her teacher.
Although her teacher remained unmoved, who knew how long he could last? After all, if she had to set aside her prejudices, then she had to admit that when she looked at this fox-like woman, even though she was a woman herself she couldn’t help but feel herself heat up at times.
Yun Die felt desperate. She couldn’t beat her in a fight and her body wasn’t comparable…but she wouldn’t give up. Perhaps what her teacher liked was someone young and inexperienced like herself.
Qin Yu didn’t ask why Dorelis knew that these two women were trouble. He could also smell the light scent of blood from before. He said, “Don’t cause any more trouble,” and then he walked around the table and closed his eyes.
He had brought Dorelis and Yun Die to Vast Sea City with Senior Lin secretly following them. The reason was simple. With what he wanted to do, once an accident occurred, the Beast Trainer Alliance would surely be enraged.
This was grave digging…tsk tsk, if anyone else were in their position, they wouldn’t be able to bear it.
So to avoid anything that would bring trouble to Sky Declaring Pavilion, Qin Yu put forth the suggestion that he change his name to participate in the tournament. This idea was easily approved.
Of course, the task of forging the status would be given to Sky Declaring Pavilion to handle. Although he didn’t know the specific process, he had a genuine background and history now. His name was Qin Yu and he came from a prominent family in the Western Tomb region. It was a family known to have talented beast trainer juniors.

This identity was genuine and he did have the qualifications to participate in the tournament. As for how Sky Declaring Pavilion accomplished this, he had no idea.
The reason that the four people had appeared in Vast Sea City was simple. This was the starting point designated by the Beast Trainer Alliance.
Contestants with considerable background and status could choose to go on their own. But those with identities similar to Qin Yu, including other wandering beast trainers, could only choose to obediently follow the instructions of the Beast Trainer Alliance and meet up at designated locations before leaving by ship.
Since he had changed his identity and he wanted to avoid any unnecessary troubles, then he certainly had to act the part.
Dorelis’ eyes sparkled. She turned and walked out, “I’ll let you two have some time alone. Little Diedie, don’t say that big sister here didn’t give you any opportunities. If you can flip over your fake gentleman teacher in this period of time, then I won’t come back tonight and I’ll give him to you. How about it? Isn’t this big sister generous?”
She left behind a red-faced Yun Die as she pushed open the door and walked out.
Dorelis attracted many eyes as she breezily left the inn. She aimlessly wandered the streets, occasionally stopping to buy some random items.
As she stood outside a booth and was looking at some masks made with seashells with interest, a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face appeared by her side and smiled at her. He said, “Madame, I guessed that you are accompanying some lord to attend an important event. I have important information you might be interested in.”
Dorelis turned around. She said with a surprised expression, “What information do you have?”
The middle-aged man lowered his voice, “A great deal of information. For instance, the topics for the great tournament, individual information of the officials that are holding the tournament, and other things like that.”
Dorelis gasped. She quickly covered her mouth, “Are you for real?”
The middle-aged man gave a blinding smile. “Of course I am. But this isn’t the place to talk about such things. Madame, if you would like…”
Moments later, the two people arrived deep within a long lane hidden deep inside a courtyard. There were many people already waiting inside. When they saw the two, they immediately stood up.
“Hey, this is the place you wanted to bring me to?” Dorelis glanced backwards as the doors closed behind her. She glanced at the crowd.
There were men, women, and even children that were only several years old. They were all staring at her right now with wide eyes.
The middle-aged man who led her here didn’t reply. He looked at an old man sitting across from him. The old man’s eyes were closed and he held a dark stone in his hand.

Shua –
It was right!
The middle-aged man turned and looked at Dorelis. His lips moved and he said, “You are my fellow clansman who has been left wandering around in the outside world. You must have suffered hardships these past years. But don’t worry anymore. Now that you have come here and found us, no one will be able to bully you any longer.”
Dorelis: …
She looked at the middle-aged man and then at the happily smiling men, women, elderly, and children. She realized that these really were the remnants of the Giant Spirit Clan.
If they knew that the one standing in front of them right now was the most powerful subordinate of the Western Tomb’s Dao Monarch, Dorelis, what kind of expression would they have on their faces?
She tilted her head for a moment. Then, she stepped forward and slowly raised her hand. Bright and dazzling holy light erupted from her body, flooding the space all around them.
The smiles of the Giant Spirit clansmen who had been preparing to meet their new member instantly stiffened.
Holy light!
After being hunted down by the priests of the Western Tomb for endless years, the hate and fear they felt towards them had sunk into the bones of the Giant Spirit Clan.
This was a trap!
The middle-aged man who brought Dorelis back was filled with pain and self-blame. He shouted out, “Run!”
Piki paka –
Bones and muscles exploded. The middle-aged man’s body grew until he reached a height of 40-50 feet tall. If it weren’t for the array formation in the courtyard covering up everything that was happening inside, he would have been seen by those outside.
He lifted a hand and punched. A tyrannical strength roared through the air. But in the next moment he was sent flying away.
Facing Dorelis, the Western Tomb’s subordinate god, even if this was only a projection of her strength, it wasn’t something that an ordinary Giant Spirit clansman could hope to contend with.
The man crashed into the ground, blood gushing out from his mouth and nose. As for the rest of the Giant Spirit Clan that didn’t have enough time to flee yet, their faces paled.
Dorelis smiled. “The truth is that I have no interest in hunting down the Giant Spirit Clan. However, I’m sorry to say that your luck isn’t good. I cannot take this risk…so I ask you all to die.”
Holy light flooded out like a tide, covering every Giant Spirit clansmen. Their blood energy fluctuations were instantly imprisoned.
Generations of priests from the Western Tomb had done everything in their power to eliminate the Dragon City Master’s loyal remnants for the last several hundred thousands of years.
What Dorelis used now was a divine art specifically aimed at the Giant Spirit Clan. If an ordinary Western Tomb priest were to use this technique, it would slightly suppress the Giant Spirit Clan at best.
But these people were extremely unlucky. With someone at Dorelis’ level using this technique, it completely crushed them.
The men, women, and children all stared with wide eyes, horror and panic on their faces.
As for the wounded middle-aged man, his body metamorphosis had already come to an end. His eyes were closed in pain. This was all his fault…but, the elder had clearly confirmed that their bloodline flowed in her body, so why were things like this? The Western Tomb had always been ruthless in facing the Giant Spirit Clan, so how could they leave her alive? And even train her to be a cleaner for the Western Tomb!
Dorelis’ expression was faint and her eyes were cold. Whether it was women, crying children, or even the weak elderly, nothing could shake her.
The reason gods were called gods was because they dominated the rules of the heavens. Wherever their eyes ventured, everything they saw was nothing but ants.
She lifted a hand and grasped her fingers together. The Giant Spirit clansmen who were covered in holy light suddenly revealed looks of agonizing pain. Before long, death would arrive for all of them.
Pa –
The courtyard doors were shoved open from the outside. In the next moment, the terrifying oppression that suffocated the Giant Spirit clansmen retreated like a falling tide.
After being saved from death, they gasped for breath. They subconsciously looked towards the entrance at the person who rescued them.
Dorelis turned around. The faintness in her eyes and face disappeared. She tenderly smiled, “Oho, your tailing skills are pretty good. I didn’t even notice you following me this entire time.”
Qin Yu furrowed his eyes. “Show me some face. Don’t make things hard for them.”
Dorelis blinked. “This is what being soft-hearted is. Don’t forget that you initially...”
Qin Yu drew in a breath and said, “I said, don’t make things hard for them!”
Dorelis paused and turned around to leave. “I can. Since you asked, I will certainly agree to your request. However, these people had better not appear before me again.”
As she passed by him, a voice echoed in his ears. “Qin Yu, you owe me another favor. Don’t forget this.”
Qin Yu’s expression didn’t change. He swept his eyes over the still shaken and stunned Giant Spirit clansmen and said, “You all need to leave immediately.”
He turned and left.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.
