The Azure Dragon Blade carved long, narrow furrows into the ground. Amidst the clanging of metal, and against the backdrop of the faintly visible city walls and passes, Scarlet Amber perfectly embodied the phrase "One horse can hold the pass, silencing all others."
The second update is coming!

Chapter 529 I Want Them All! (Two Chapters Combined)
Once all the horse girls had stopped at the finish line, Kotobuki Toru slowly pushed the food cart over.
The trolley was piled with chilled fruit and lightly salted water prepared in advance by the villa's butler. Glistening water droplets slid down the chilled peach flesh, accumulating into small puddles on the stainless steel tray.
"Everyone worked hard, you really gave it your all." Kotobuki Toru distributed drinks while glancing at the timing data on the electronic screen at the side of the field, his fingertips lightly tapping the handle of the cart. "I didn't expect that even Donna's timing time would reach the mid-level of European G1 competitions."
"Huh? Kotobuki Toru, are you mocking me?" The noblewoman frowned, picked up a hard peach from the cart, and took a big bite. The crisp sound of the flesh cracking between her teeth was particularly clear. "I'm starving after running around like this, and you're only at a mid-level?"
“You were targeting Hitoko Amber the whole time… especially since you forcibly broke your own running rhythm halfway through, pushing against Hitoko Amber’s zone, and even giving her the middle finger. It’s no wonder you couldn’t win like that.” Kotobuki Toru shrugged helplessly. “For someone like you to run like that and still manage to reach an excellent European level is already quite impressive.”
The noblewoman exhaled a puff of hot white breath from her nostrils, her lips pursed so much they could hang an oil bottle, clearly not believing a single word.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you~ But I still have to say, I'm a professional trainer, there's no way I wouldn't understand this situation. You achieved this result with unbalanced weight distribution and haphazard running technique, how could you possibly lose your three-time champion race? Tell me? You can't possibly lose! You've already won just by signing up."
"Although I think what you're trying to say is very good, I still feel something's off..." The noblewoman tilted her head and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out where this strange feeling came from. Since she couldn't figure it out, she just let it go. So the noblewoman turned her head and looked at Fei Tu Hu Po, who was standing behind the finish line, leaning on her halberd and Qinglong sword.
Fei Tu Hu Po's exquisite figure stood under the moonlight, her skirt fluttering without wind. The domain walls that had been formed during the fierce battle were now dissipating into pale golden light spots. The oppressive feeling, like a landslide or tsunami, had not yet completely faded, intertwining with the girl's upright figure to create a breathtaking scene.
The noblewoman stared in disbelief, while Qin Chuitou was far from idle.
Realizing that this might be a rare moment for Hitotsu Amber to not act silly and to show her true colors, he immediately took out his phone and started snapping photos of Hitotsu Amber's back, capturing this beautiful scene.
Even though current mobile phone optical sensors can't capture the area where the horse girl is, just this one photo of her back as she prepares for battle under the bright moon and stars is enough to attract a lot of attention and gifts from fans in China... Viewers in China are drawn to weapons and armor. Normally, street photographers would painstakingly take photos of Hitoko Amber, and after struggling with censorship, they would only watch silently. But after Hitoko Amber used her foot to draw a bow and shoot, performing a Tresen-style shot, the attention skyrocketed.
As a magical country with the highest sales of baseball bats in the world, yet hardly anyone plays baseball, Kotobuki Toru simply doesn't believe that the Chinese people lack a warlike spirit and are filled with a deep-seated desire for farming.
"Oh dear, this Arc de Triomphe competition is really tough... I'm almost exhausted now."
Unlike the spirited and imposing Hitotsu Amber, Da Zhenhan completely lacked the composure of a great general who could remain calm even when faced with a collapsing mountain. He ran across the finish line panting, threw his hammers to the ground, creating two craters, and gasped for breath while holding onto the hammer handles. His chest heaved like a broken bellows, making him look like a defeated soldier helping to carry weapons.
"Hey... Big Shock, please don't die here!"
Fei Tu Hu Po seemed to have just recovered from the fierce battle. With two "whoosh" sounds, she planted the Fangtian Halberd and the Green Dragon Blade into the ground, grabbed two bottles of warm water from the stroller, and ran over. "Drink some water, drink some water... This is warm water, don't worry about the temperature difference being too great and damaging your lungs."
Great shock, as if grasping at a lifeline, took the mineral water from Fei Tu Hu Po's hand and began chugging it down his throat.
Like a calf, he downed two bottles of mineral water in one gulp. Still feeling unsatisfied, he wiped his mouth with a look of great shock and asked, "What about you, Amber-chan?"
"Hmph~" Fei Tu Hu Po smiled slightly: "I don't want water! I saw it when I was jogging by just now, there seemed to be some wine on this cart!"
"You mean to slay Hua Xiong while the wine is still warm?" Kotobuki Toru quickly understood Hitoko Amber's intention. Since it was already late and there was no training scheduled, he took out a small celadon jar of white wine from the bottom of the cart and handed it over, while kindly reminding her, "Although I know that the structure and function of a horse girl's large stomach are much stronger than those of a human, I still have to remind you... drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach."
Fei Tu Hu Po's ears twitched, then drooped down suddenly: "Hey, now that you mention it, I'm actually hungry!"
Then the popular singer began to sing: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry."
The lady subconsciously touched her stomach and nodded in agreement: "Now that you mention it... I'm a little hungry too. Although I ate a lot at the table, running around like this has really taken a toll."
"I despise you." Kotobuki Toru rolled his eyes. "You complained about the food at dinner, so you didn't eat much. You should have just said so directly... Why did you have to beat around the bush like this?"
"I call this high emotional intelligence, okay?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Haidu Star quickly stepped between them, looking around and saying, "Well... I know my family's cooking better than anyone. I just happened to buy a lot of hot pot base from China. How about we have hot pot tonight?"
Fei Tu Hu Po raised both hands in agreement: "Great! Perfect timing for hot pot and drinks!"
"Then everyone please help me get my things from the cold storage."
"it is good!"
--------
"Wow, this warehouse really has a comprehensive selection of food."
"They even have tripe and beef aorta? That's classy!"
"Of course, our family is also an aristocratic family in China... I wouldn't say we have an abundance of wines and luxury cars, but our ingredients are definitely museum-quality!"
The group of female tuna enthusiasts seemed to have entered an ancient secret realm in the cold storage. They ran their fingertips over the frozen tuna belly, marveled at the rows of dried hams, and wandered between the freezers in search of rare and precious ingredients.
While everyone was rummaging through the warehouse for ingredients, the gentle-hearted Hitotsu Amber thought of Haidu City and Narcissus, who were currently discussing the design of the final outfit.
Based on the idea that the more people eating late-night snacks, the better, and the more people, the more delicious the food, Fei Tu Hu Po thought it would be better to invite Narcissus and Hai Du Shi to eat together. So Fei Tu Hu Po pulled Hai Du Zhi Xing, who was peeling abalone in the freezer, over and told her her idea. The two hit it off immediately, greeted everyone present, and went to the villa's reception room to invite the two designers.
When Hitotsu Amber and Sea Star arrived, Narcissus and Sea City were arguing fiercely, banging their fists on the table, almost coming to blows. Hitotsu Amber was thinking of performing another "shooting the halberd at the gate" act to stop the fight.
However, after hearing the purpose of their visit, the two calmed down as if nothing had happened. According to Narcissus, this was called a clash of ideas, only that the sparks were quite large... The more intense the sparks, the better the effect of Scarlet Amber's final outfit design would be.
But when Fei Tu Hu Po asked about the design of the final outfit, the two exchanged a knowing smile, indicating that they had been too busy arguing to decide yet...
After arguing for so long and getting tired of it, Narcissus and Haidu were naturally happy to join in when they heard that the group of young people were planning to have hot pot as an extra meal. So they went back to the living room with everyone.
When we returned to the living room, the villa's full-time butler had already set up a large iron pot for everyone. The bright red hot pot broth was floating in the pot, making our mouths water.
Just as the hot pot was about to boil, everyone who had gone to the Ice Cave Secret Realm to hunt in the wild returned.
Haidu Zhixing was carrying various expensive mountain delicacies such as matsutake mushrooms, the noblewoman was carrying various vegetables and fruits, Gao Shangjunyi was carrying seasonings whose names he didn't know, and Qin Chuitou was the most exaggerated, carrying several boxes of beef and mutton, as well as meat rolls for hot pot, with a rope hanging around his neck, the other end of which was tied to a box of beer, making Qin Chuitou's face turn red. If you didn't know better, you would think that Guan Yu had possessed him.
Fei Tu Hu Po quickly ran over to help Qin Chui Tou remove the beer from her neck, and asked speechlessly, "Why did you take so much? Was it really necessary to push yourself like this?"
Kotobuki Toru took a deep breath and said, "Oh dear, everyone wants to try the taste of meat they've never seen before, so they keep taking more and more."
Judging from this scene, everyone is really starving... This also suggests that what's said online isn't wrong: if you're thinking about losing weight, go to the UK; you're guaranteed to lose weight there.
After everything was ready, everyone sat down around the steaming hot pot. Eating hot pot in the summer has a special flavor. Although this late-night snack was held in London, most of the girls who participated were from the Pan-Asian region. They were naturally not very distant and loved a lively atmosphere. As soon as the drinks were served and the glasses clinked, the atmosphere became lively.
After running a race on the Arc de Triomphe track and confirming that her footwork was still good, Fei Tu Hu Po had nothing to worry about. The noblewoman and Hai Du Zhi Xing both had different insights into the domain after today's competition... If they continued, it would only be a matter of time before they comprehended the domain, so they were in particularly good spirits and simply drank to their hearts' content.
As for Hitotsu Amber, she is a horse girl who loves to drink, and so far no one has been able to outdrink her. She immediately raised her glass and downed it!
-
After everyone had their turn to drink, Hai Dudu marveled at how the horse girl, Fei Tu Hu Po, possessed so many qualities, including beauty, charm, heroic spirit, and a high alcohol tolerance. The more he talked about her, the more he liked her, and naturally, more and more inspiration came to him.
After downing the third glass of wine, Hai Dudu looked at Fei Tu Hu Po and laughed, "Narcissus and I saw you guys running around on the track through the window just now, and you were carrying two by yourself... making yourself look capable?"
"Ahem, everyone's suggesting it..." Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head and chuckled, "But I actually think it's quite nice to run around carrying two weapons like this."
"Hmm? It's actually alright?" Hai Dudu tapped the side of his wine glass lightly with his fingernail. "I see that your posture and movements when holding the weapons are quite correct... You really can handle carrying two weapons like this without any problems?"
Fei Tu Hu Po nodded firmly, her eyes clear and without any trace of alcohol: "Hmm... absolutely no problem! I don't know if you saw it, Sister Hai Du City... when I was running on the track, I even did a somersault slash... In short, I think it's pretty good, holding both of them in my hands doesn't feel special at all."
“Hey…” Narcissus swirled his wine glass: “Just now, Seastar and I were discussing what weapon you should choose for your final battle.”
Hai Dushi rested his chin on his hand: "Hmm, my suggestion is that just carrying the Cold Beauty Saw is fine..."
What is the "Cold Beauty Saw"?
Kotobuki whispered a reminder from the side: "Hey, it's the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. The more common name is Green Dragon Crescent Blade, while the less common name is Cold Beauty Saw."
"Eh." Fei Tu Hu Po heard some gossip that she rarely heard before, and the mutton roll in her mouth fell out. "How could it have such a name... It doesn't have much to do with Guan Yu."
"It is said... of course, it's just a rumor." Qin Chui cleared his throat and began to tell the story in a storyteller's tone: "It is said that back then, Guan Yu had a very fierce female warrior by his side, and that female warrior's weapon was also the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. She was even fiercer than Guan Yu when she fought. Her eyes were frosty, and her sword strikes were as fast as lightning. Because she was particularly fierce and ruthless, and because that female warrior had a beauty that could eclipse the moon, both cold and beautiful, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was also called the Cold and Beautiful Saw."
"Wow~ Great!" Hitotsu Amber smiled broadly, and taking advantage of her good mood, she raised her wine glass again, clinked it with Kotobuki Toru's, and drank it all in one gulp before laughing, "I don't know why, but I really like the name 'Cold-Blooded Saw,' and I also think I'm quite similar to that horse girl..."
"Hmph, as long as you like it, that's good. The Cold-Blooded Saw is the weapon that best represents Pan-Asian culture." Hai Dushi raised his glass, ready to clink it with Fei Tu Hu Po: "So let's have a pleasant chat..."
But before their glasses could even clink, another glass was thrown in.
It was Narcissus who said, "Hey, don't rush... listen to my advice first."
Scarlet Amber and Sea City looked up at Narcissus.
“Think about it, whether in movies or novels, Guan Yu is always dressed in a green robe and blue shirt, but this time, Fei Tu Hu Po wants a cool suit of armor, which doesn’t match the Green Dragon Crescent Blade at all.” Narcissus spread his hands; “So I think! Armor should be paired with the Fangtian Halberd.”
Hai Dushi disagreed: "It's definitely the Azure Dragon Blade!"
Narcissus also had his own aesthetic sense: "It has to be the halberd!"
Suddenly, Amber raised her hand: "I have a suggestion!"
The girl clenched her fists: "I want them all!"
-------
The two-in-one update is here!
Please please please please
Chapter 530 You look really cool carrying a weapon.
"You mean you want them all...?"
"Anyway, I like both of these weapons very much."
Scarlet Amber raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I'll take one in each hand! Everyone else carries one weapon, so it's reasonable for me, whose ancestors were warhorse girls, to carry two, right? I just used the Flipping Slash, but I think I can perform something else after I get the Heavenly Halberd..."
Fei Tu Hu Po truly believes that in addition to her track adaptability, she also has considerable weapon adaptability, and she feels great when she picks up a weapon.
“Reasonable! Judging from the standards for the horse racing suits coordinated by the Horse Girls Association, it’s perfectly fine to carry two weapons.” Narcissus had been dealing with horse racing suits for many years and was very familiar with all the regulations and restrictions. He made the decision without hesitation.
Even Haidu City, which has always been at odds with Narcissus, rarely echoed this sentiment: "If you really decide to do this... then it will actually save me the time of fighting with Narcissus. In just a few years, Narcissus's mouth has become even more venomous."
After saying that, Hai Du City pretended to clutch her heart, looking as if she had suffered severe physical and mental damage. From her expression, you could tell that Narcissus, this madam, was really aggressive with her words... especially when she started to "persuade" people with differing opinions.
Fei Tu Hu Po still remembers that when she wanted to take the pure and innocent route, Narcissus scolded her harshly, saying that she shouldn't think nonsense, that her face was not the kind of virtuous woman who could reform, and that in ancient times she might not even be allowed to have a chastity arch erected for her, so it was best for her to stick to the persona of a femme fatale.
Scarlet Amber initially wanted to refute Narcissus's words, but as it turned out, she was indeed right...
Both designers nodded, and Fei Tu Hu Po's eyes instantly welled up with tears, but she didn't make a decision right away. Instead, she turned to her trainer and asked, "Tou Tou, what do you think?"
Qin Chuitou hadn't drunk much and was perfectly clear-headed. He pondered for a moment, then frowned and analyzed, "When I saw you running just now, your footwork wasn't much different from before, so technically speaking, there's nothing wrong with it. The rest depends on your own will..."
Kotobuki rationally analyzed the way Hitokohaku ran just now, and then looked at the incomparably beautiful Hitokohaku in front of him who had drunk a little wine. His emotions quickly defeated his rationality, and he blushed and said, "Actually, I think it's good to hold it. You were pretty cool just now. I've never seen any other racehorse girl like you."
Upon hearing this, Fei Tu Hu Po's soft little lips almost pouted into an adorable W shape. She knew that boys generally wouldn't easily praise someone for being handsome, unless... the other person was genuinely handsome!
"Since you've said so, TouTou... then it's decided!"
She clasped her hands together and bowed to the two designers, saying, "Thank you both so much. I need you to design two weapons that I can wear for many years... If possible, I also plan to pass this outfit down as a family heirloom."
My first set of decisive armor was indeed rather unsightly and not suitable to be passed down, so it would be better if it went to the grave with me. As for the phoenix coronet and wedding robe, they were quite suitable as a family heirloom to be passed down to my descendants. In addition, if there was a set of armor that could be passed down as well, one for civil affairs and one for military affairs, that would be perfect.
The lady sitting to the side teased, "You're already thinking about what gift to leave for your daughter? Although you don't usually act like a pretty young girl, you've awakened to maternal love quite early..."
Hai Dudu, speaking from the perspective of a mother and elder, said with admiration, "Little Amber is just like that, achieving success in both career and love, and managing both very well, unlike my son..."
"Stop, stop!" Haidu Star quickly poured a huge amount of ingredients into the hot pot: "Now is not the time to torture me... Everyone, eat meat, everyone, eat meat."
The group exchanged smiles, and amidst the clinking of glasses, the aroma of wine and warmth filled the air.
They ate until midnight. When Kotobuki Toru was about to fall asleep, the horse girls present also started to feel dizzy from the meal and went to find their rooms to rest. The Kaito family mansion was very large, and there were rooms in various places for everyone to rest. Hito Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru chose two adjacent guest rooms - ostensibly to facilitate the exchange of tactics, but neither of them said it out loud, it was also to facilitate a little cuddle at night.
------------
The rest of the time was spent adapting to the European environment. During this time, Hitotsu Amber kept her promise and invited Sea Star to join her every time she conducted domain training. Meanwhile, the noblewoman, who would do anything to become stronger, came uninvited and actively came to freeload during Hitotsu Amber's domain training sessions.
Although she is a future rival, she is also one of Hitoko's close friends. So, when faced with the extremely shameless noblewoman, Hitoko can only verbally criticize her and then tacitly approve of her behavior.
Later on, the noble family horse sisters who originally planned to come for training also came to take advantage of this rare domain pressure training. What was originally a tour group turned into a team going abroad for intensive training... It was incredibly chaotic.
As the Yorkshire Oaks race approached, even Hai Du, who had been retired for many years, started getting itchy. During a break from juggling, she said she wanted to recapture the feeling of youth, and then, wearing her running shoes, she rushed onto the track to compete with everyone and show them the strength of a veteran racehorse girl.
Then this champion of the Arc de Triomphe, who had been retired for many years, happily came in fourth place. Not only did he fail to beat the shocking performance of Hitotsu Amber, but in the final sprint, he was even overtaken by his own daughter, Sea Star... and could only finish fourth.
Of course, such a result is not surprising. After all, Hai Dushi is a horse girl who has been retired for almost 20 years. Even if she was glorious in the past, it is not now. No one can be young forever, but there will always be someone who is young.
However, Hai Dudu revealed a rather childish side after the match, offering all sorts of excuses such as "not in good shape," "being bitten by mosquitoes," and "the pan-fried dumplings were too oily." He simply refused to admit that he was getting old and his competitive form was no longer what it used to be…
Seeing Hai Dudu's adorable, stubborn, and unyielding demeanor, the other female riders secretly resolved to seize the time and run as many races as possible while they were in top form.
And so, the day of the Yorkshire Tournament arrived.
