My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 8: The Blazing Mountain Range

Before sunrise the next morning, Lou Mu Yan went to the Mercenary Union. When she arrived, Ye Qing Han and the others were already there.

Young Miss Lou sure is punctual today. Ye Qing Han said with a smile, looking at the purple-clothed woman walking towards them.

Lou Mu Yan arrived and shrugged her shoulders. Im afraid that if Im late, you guys wouldnt wait for me.

Youre our Physician, even if we dont wait for others, we must wait for you. Ye Qing Han smiled.

The two chatted a few more, then the team was ready to leave. They rode the Tier 1 Demonic Beast, Tailwind Horse, as such, they could decrease the time going back and forth.

Ye Qing Han and his party consisted of six people. Aside from Ye Qing Han, Lou Mu Yan only recognised Old Lu. In addition to them, there was a young cold beauty and three other young men. Two of the young men appeared to be hired Mercenaries.

The continent where Lou Mu Yan was located was named Tianling Continent, consisting of the four major regionsthe Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern Regionsas well as countless large and small regions. Every region also had numerous large and small kingdoms. Yanzhou Kingdom was considered a kingdom with strength in the middle-low range within the major Eastern Region, and one of Tianling Continents Ten Treacherous Zones was located right within its borderthe famous Blazing Mountain Range.

It took five days to arrive at the Blazing Mountain Range from the Imperial Capital on the backs of the Tailwind Horses. During the five days, Lou Mu Yan and the others only stayed at an inn two of the nights, while they slept in the open for three of them.

The Blazing Mountain Range was rich in cultivation resources, so even though it was considered one of the ten most dangerous places, there were still many Mercenaries and Sword Masters who came. Under normal circumstances, as long as one didnt traverse deep into the periphery, it wouldnt be too dangerous.

Looking at the crimson mountain range still far away, she already felt waves upon waves of heat rushing at her. Lou Mu Yan tugged the reins of her Tailwind Horse and came to a halt.

Weve arrived at the Blazing Mountain Range. Ye Qing Han looked to the distance with a smile.

Because they rushed all the way here, Lou Mu Yans Spiritual Energy had long dried out again, not to mention this body hadnt yet recovered well enough, so whenever they took time to rest, she immediately went to sleep to replenish her energy and didnt converse much with Ye Qing Han and his party.

You came to the Blazing Mountain Range to capture a Spirit Pet? Lou Mu Yan asked with a smile.

There was also a profession called Spirit Beast Master in this world. These people had Mental Energy exceptionally stronger than the average Sword Master, could directly imprint a Seal in a Demonic Beasts Sea of Consciousness, then contract them as a Spirit Pet. As such, the Spirit Pet couldnt betray their master, could help their master during battle, and their own Tier could also increase.

Ye Qing Han didnt conceal it either and nodded: My little sister will be celebrating her fifteenth birthday soon. I want to capture a fire attribute Demonic Beast thats Tier 3 or above for her to contract as a Spirit Pet.

Why didnt you bring her? Lou Mu Yan wondered and asked.

Her bodys not in good health, thats why its up to me. When mentioning his little sister, his gaze grew softer. Then, suddenly realising something, he turned to Lou Mu Yan, asking: Young Miss Lou, youre very skilled in medicine, could you cure foetal poison?

Foetal poison? So its because she was poisoned in the womb that shes in bad health? Lou Mu Yan asked.

Ye Qing Han sighed and nodded, saying: Yes. She was poisoned when she was in the womb, and many Physicians said she couldnt live past twenty years old.

Thats hard to say. It wasnt that foetal poison was incurable, but I still need to see your younger sister for the specifics to be able to make a decision. Lou Mu Yan was still confident in her medical skills. If she could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Stage of her previous world, and use her Spiritual Energy paired with medicine, it wasnt difficult to treat that kind of foetal poison.

Ye Qing Hans eyes lit up. Having hope was better than determining that it couldnt be cured. He said sincerely: Then can Young Miss Lou have a look at my little sister? Payments not a problem.

Apologies, I dont have any time lately. After the Empire Academys Grand Competition is over, Ill take the time to come look. Lou Mu Yans current objective was to first refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill and make a shocking reversal at the Grand Competition. Ye Qing Hans sister had been ill for many years already, so there wasnt a need to hurry. Not to mention she had no Spiritual Energy in her either, so the treatment wouldnt be very effective.

That sounds good. Regardless, Ill be troubling Young Miss Lou. Ye Qing Han also understood his little sisters condition. Even though she was weak and had cold symptoms, it wasnt as if she could be cured within a day or two.

They travelled forward and only took a little more than an hour to arrive at the entrance to the Blazing Mountain Range. There were quite a few people who travelled here as well.

Does anyone of you want to purchase a map of the Blazing Fire Mountain? Seeing that the clothing on these few people werent something commoners could wear, a young man in a light cyan robe came up with a smile to sell his products, I also have the Blazing Mountain Ranges Spiritual Herbs and Demonic Beasts records. I promise itll be useful to you all.

The Blazing Mountain Range map? Ye Qing Han smiled, clearly disbelieving, as even Sword Monarchs wouldnt recklessly enter the central area of the Blazing Mountain Range, so how could this young man have any map?

The cyan-robed young man also knew what Ye Qing Han was thinking, so he smiled and said: I indeed dont have the map for the entire Blazing Mountain Range, but I do have the map for the entire periphery. This map was a summary of the information brought out by the Mercenaries that entered. My Master used ten years to finish this map. If its not accurate, I dont want any money.

Price? Lou Mu Yan saw that the young boys eyes were clear and clever and didnt look like a liar.

One hundred ink-gold coins for one. The young boy quoted the price.

On Chihuo Continent¹ there were three types of common currenciesgold coins, ink-gold coins, and purple-gold coins. It was at a ratio of one to one hundredthat is, one ink-gold coin was equal to one hundred gold coins, and one purple-gold coin was equal to one hundred ink-gold coins.

Your price is a bit expensive isnt it? A baby-faced young man beside Ye Qing Han said.

The cyan-clothed boy smiled and shook his head. My price corresponds to the quality of the product. This map isnt some fake like the others. Ive been here selling maps for more than a year, if its not accurate, you can come back to find me.

Are the Spiritual Herbs and Demonic Beast maps you have also of the periphery? Lou Mu Yan was more interested in them.

I have everything on the periphery. I also have a map on the border between the periphery and the outer ring of the forest. But the price is more expensive, but I can also promise accuracy. The cyan-clothed young man said with pridethis was the crystallisation of his Masters ten years of work.

Lou Mu Yan showed interest, and asked: Then are the locations of where the Spiritual Herbs grow and where the Demonic Beasts roam also accurate?

The booklet only records the approximate location and cant determine the exact position. If you want to search for them, you can only go according to the location. The areas of some Spiritual Herbs and Demonic Beasts couldnt be determined, after all, not many Mercenaries want to enter the border between the outer ring and the periphery. The cyan-clothed young man thought for a bit before telling Lou Mu Yan the truth.

Then give me a copy of each, how much altogether? Lou Mu Yan wasnt familiar with the Blazing Mountain Ranges, and though she followed Ye Qing Han and his party, this was a place full of danger. If they were separated, she had an extra guarantee.

Seeing how generous the beautiful purple-clothed young girl was, the cyan-clothed young man smiled merrily and took out four books from the cloth bag he was carrying on his back and said: The map is one hundred ink-gold coins, the Spiritual Herbs and Demonic Beasts map were one-hundred ink-gold coins each, and the map of Spiritual Herbs and Demonic Beasts on the border was three hundred ink-gold coins, so a total of five hundred ink-gold coins².

Lou Mu Yans small vault was still rather rich, and Grandfather Lou even gifted her a precious interspatial ring after she regained consciousness. So she took out the entire five hundred ink-gold coins without a care and handed it to the cyan-clothed young man.

Keep it safe. The young man handed the books to Lou Mu Yan, then cautioned with a smile: Miss, ensure you dont enter the outer ring, its truly too dangerous there.

I understand, thank you. Lou Mu Yan nodded. Her impression of the cyan-clothed young man was pretty good.

Lets go. After she bought the book, Lou Mu Yan said to Ye Qing Han and the others.

Ye Qing Han naturally had information on the Blazing Mountain Range, but he didnt stop Lou Mu Yan from buying it. He smiled and nodded, then lead the rest into the Blazing Mountain Ranges.

Translated product by May Our Come True

¹author wrote Chihuo Continent? () but there have never been any mentions of that continent. Im pretty sure Tianling Continent () is the overall world theyre in while Chihuo Continent specifically refers to the one shes on. Maybe native speakers understand the difference despite the same usage of the word . Or the author made a mistake (but she mentioned it again in a later chapter), or I made a mistake. Ill come back to fix it if I realise I need to while translating.

²pretty sure I translated it correctly, but the author wrote the price wrong. Heres the original:
