Ten years ago, Qin Wangtian was just a child between the ages of seven and eight. He went to Black Cloud Fortress to steal some wood but was discovered by a teenage Mu Ling. The unfortunate boy got struck by lightning and despite receiving treatment from Mu Ling, his body still had many scars. Before leaving Black Cloud Fortress, he pointed to the tree of Mu Ling and vowed to change his name to Qin Wangtian and one day, will take back the tree.
Ten years later, Mu Ling became a Genius Doctor, the best in the world.
Ten years later, Qin Wangtian became a Horse Riding Bandit, the fiercest in the world.

Translator's Note: This is my 2nd Translation starting in September 2020. This series is actually the 2nd part and 2nd couple of "The Four Books of Mythology" Trilogy by Er Ya, which had the best hilarious comedy dual from the whole trilogy, however, the first couple Situ/XiaoHuang will also make their appearance.
