Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1: Born Different Pupils, Evil Star

In the pitch-black sky, lightning as white as snow ripped across the rain. The sound of thunder came, yet the feel of stifling summer increased, making it hard for people to breath.

Tonight, under the curtain of rain, there wasn’t any peace at all inside Dong Qing country’s Prime Minister’s residence. The sound of a weeping infant pierced the night sky. Inside the Prime Minister’s residence, a burst of chaotic voices could be heard. Under the curtain of rain, a man and a woman were surrounded by numerous guards.

“Jing Zhan, hand that demoness over right now!” A middle age man shouted imposingly, that splendid brocaded robes in his body had demonstrated this man’s distinguished identity. He was exactly the master of this residence, DongQing’s country’s Prime Minister, Jing TingHe.

“Father! This is my child! She isn’t some kind of demoness!” The two persons, man and woman, were surrounded and cornered. The man was handsome and resolute, holding a newborn baby tightly in his chest and stared unyieldingly at Jing TingHe.

“Presumptuous! This child is born with different pupils! It’s an evil star!” Jing TingHe glared at the man.

“What bullshit is an evil star!? Grandmother is growing old! What she had said was such nonsense yet you really believed it! And you even go as far as wanting to kill your own granddaughter!” Jing Zhan’s whole body was trembling; his eyes were filled with despair.

“Husband……” The woman standing closely beside Jing Zhan looked pale; the clothes sticking on her body still had the blood from when she gave birth a moment ago. She seemed really weak.

“If you want to take my child’s life, father, you just have to step over my dead body first!” Jing Zhan held the baby tightly in his bosom. No longer hesitating, he brandished the sword in his arm and broke out from the surrounding guards’ encirclement. Jing TingHe furiously chased after him. The chaos on that night was only known by the people of the Prime Minister’s residence and didn’t disturb the world outside at all.

Fleeing for a full month, Jing Zhan brought his wife and child towards the west region. He escaped the border of Dong Qing country and fled into the continent’s largest forest, Luo Man forest. This forest extended uninterruptedly for thousands of miles, went over ten mountains and connected four countries’ borders together. The north border of the forest was Bei Mu country, the south was Nan Li country, and the west was Xi Wu country, while Jing Zhan, belonged to the east part of the forest, Dong Qing country.

In the forest border, Jing Zhan, whose whole body looked so poor covered in mud, watched the woman in front of him closely and said: “A Yun, you hold our child and hide here; I’ll go over there and lure those pursuing soldiers away.”

One month of fleeing had led the originally handsome and bright man into this pale and exhausted appearance at the moment. He didn’t even notice the stubbles that grew on his chin. His whole body looked so poor that it didn’t have the slightest looks of nobility left.

“A Zhan, please be careful.” The woman’s body was in plain cotton clothing, her eyes were sunken, her lips were pale, which part of her now, could show the stunning appearance of the woman she was in her former days? The eyes of the baby in her embrace were tightly closed, her face was a bit green, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled; it seemed, she was extremely unwell.

“Wait for me to come back.” Jing Zhan kissed the woman’s forehead. No longer lingering, he picked up his sword and went towards the forest’s border without hesitation.

The woman tremblingly stood up. With one hand holding the baby and one hand leaning on the tree, she walked into the forest until she finally heard shouts coming from behind her. The woman’s heart was frightened, she looked around and found a hole in the ground. Staring deeply at the baby in her embrace, she put the child into the hole and whispered softly: “YueEr, you must continue to live well.”

That woman’s tears fell as she spoke. She took the jade bead tied around her neck off and raised her hand to put the jade bead on the baby’s body; her eyes were filled with tenderness as well as reluctance. Hearing the shouts that seemed to be closer and closer behind her, she no longer hesitated and swiftly gathered the weeds and dried leaves on the side to cover the hole. She then brought a bundle of the baby’s fur robe away.

Those shouts and noises behind her seemed to get nearer and nearer, while she, was also pressed to the edge of a cliff. The woman held the fur robe in her embrace tightly, pretended that there was still a baby in her embrace. Staring at those guards that came to surround her, the woman tearfully spoke: “Child, mother wronged you.”

Edited:

It has been about eight months since I’ve translated this and I’ve reached ch 138 now. I’m writing this back in ch 1 because I would like to apologize in advance. BFGAH is my first time translating and neither Chinese nor English is my first-language. You’d probably going to suffer through messy translations, a lot of grammatical errors and wrong/weird choices of words especially at earlier chapters. But I’m learning and learning takes time. Yz and Strix are helping me in editing and proofreading from about ch 60+, but we haven’t had the time to go back from ch 1 to correct all the mistake I made.

I will really appreciate any comments that point out my mistakes and help me to correct them, even the most brutally honest ones as long as they are constructive. But please, calling me dumb and disgusting (yeah, someone just did in a very nasty way) in every sentence of your comment and saying other hurtful things will not in any way help me to improve the quality of the translation. I’m aware that the quality of the earlier chapters is bad and I’m aware that my English isn’t perfect. I’M WORKING TO IMPROVE THEM. However, when you insult my works and my self without offering a way to make an improvement, you’re just being a bully. Even though I might be dumb, I will never tolerate a bully on my site. A bully is a bully no matter how smart you are…

Lastly, new readers, I’m sorry for ranting on your first chapter. For me, BFGAH is really interesting and funny, but everyone has different taste. If you could, please give it a try. You might end up liking it. (Rest assured, I don’t rant frequently ^_^)

As for what kind of comments are considered completely nonconstructive and utterly useless… yeah, you could jump to ch 138 and see the examples.
