Storywise, this novel has initial premise for a duel between two swordsmen, Yan 13 and The Third Master of Xie Family (the title of the book is The Third Master).

Alone, Pang Wan entered the Jiang Hu[1]. Her dream was to become a pure lady [2], to find her destined other half.... more>>

To fulfill this dream, everyday, she would dress elegantly in white and sit in the teahouse to admire handsome men and read her novels.

She heard, the demonesses [3] related to Jiang Hu were all, depending on their martial arts capabilities, divided into groups of three, six and nine.

Currently, the evil woman, who had the beauty of a blossoming flower, who had a heart like snakes and scorpions, who could kill at such a young age, was a once in a century’s peerless demoness.

She also heard that the demoness had came down the mountains to challenge the Wu Lin [4] champion Gu Xi Ju, to take the title of number one and to wreck havoc in the Jiang Hu.

Yet again she heard that all those who had decent martial arts skills vowed to get rid of this witch.

Aiyaya, it’s not good! Isn’t this demoness her? She did not kill the person! She did not start the fire!

This infamous name of the demoness is also not what she wanted!

Looks like Jiang Hu’s road is very curved, she'd better run!

[2] Direct translation: A lady like a White Lotus, meaning pure.

[3] Not exactly the supernatural kind. It’s kind of a name for the women of Jiang Hu.

"Bring us your finest wine and best meat!" Yelled a hulking man who seemed to be the leader of the dozen strong group.

"How much?" The waiter anxiously nodded his head.

"As much as you have!" The hulking man yelled back.

"HUH?" The hulking man shot the waiter a furious glare.

"Dear guests, our inn operates on the principle of 'pay first, dishes later'. As such, it will be better if you tell us exactly how much meat and wine you need." Xiao Se returned their furious stares with a thin smile.

"Who are you supposed to be?" The hulking man eyed him with bulging eyes.

"This humble one is known as Xiao Se, the owner of this inn, the Fallen Snow Villa." Xiao Se replied with the same smile and with a level of courtesy worth a solid 12/10.

"Well, we have no money." The hulking man stabbed his blade into one of the nearby tables.

"Oh?"

"NONSENSE!" Yelled Xiao Se, eyes wide open and gaze as sharp as daggers.

The hulking man was stunned, his body even shivering involuntarily for that split second.

Just sewing it took three whole months, shipping it, another one. Hmph, a hundred silvers? That's not even enough to buy the sleeves of my coat!" <<less
