"how so?"

Qingfeng looked on in disbelief.

However, reality is staring us in the face.

"Senior sister, how could you be so cruel? You actually hit me so hard. Don't you care about the slightest bit of brotherhood?" Lu Chen looked heartbroken, as if he was really badly hurt.

Su Qing and Ouyang Jiao were startled.

Fortunately, Lu Chen did not seem to be in any life-threatening danger.

Qingfeng, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Where's my sword? Give it back to me!"

She was unaware that her sword had been devoured by Lu Chen, and thought that Lu Chen had simply used some unknown method to take her sword away.

"I don't have the sword, but the person is right here. Take it if you want!"

Lu Chen was teasing her on purpose.

Qingfeng was furious and said, "Give me back my sword right now!"

Lu Chen also became anxious and said, "Give me back my heart!"

"What heart?" Qingfeng was completely bewildered.

Lu Chen said in a serious tone, "Senior sister, you stole my heart!"

"What...you're talking nonsense!" Qingfeng suddenly realized halfway through her sentence that she had been teased again, and immediately turned ashen with anger. So, she took out a sword.

This is a low-grade spirit sword.

This is Qingfeng's spare weapon. Her original weapon was swallowed by Lu Chen, leaving her with no other choice.

"court death!"

Just as Qingfeng was about to stab Lu Chen with her sword, she suddenly remembered that her sword had mysteriously disappeared. She immediately withdrew it and then slashed at Lu Chen with her sword in mid-air.

Ouyang Jiao and Su Qing were startled.

Lu Chen remained unmoved.

This sword strike unleashed an extremely sharp sword aura, directly slashing at Lu Chen.

However, to the astonishment of the three women, the sword energy directly entered Lu Chen's body, transformed into chaotic energy, and dissipated.

Lu Chen was unharmed.

All three of them were stunned.

"Senior sister, I'm so heartbroken. You actually wanted to kill me. Sigh, since that's how it is, I have nothing more to say. You should leave!"

Lu Chen waved his hand, looking sad and forlorn, and turned to head towards his room.

"..."

The three women looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

They were too embarrassed to go into Lu Chen's room.

Qingfeng was furious. Her mid-grade spirit sword was gone, but there was nothing she could do. She was the one who stabbed Lu Chen with the sword first, and now that the sword was gone, she could only accept her bad luck.

However, all three of them found it strange.

How could such a perfectly good sword just disappear?

Lu Chen sensed the three senior sisters leaving, curled his lip, and said, "I'll let you off the hook for today, we'll talk another day!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen took out all the weapons from his Qiankun Ring, including the rewards he had obtained from the system space.

A huge pile of weapons.

Most of them are swords, and the rest are various other weapons.

"Devour!"

Lu Chen extended his right palm, and a stream of chaotic energy surged from his palm, directly covering a low-grade spirit sword.

Suddenly, the sword shattered inch by inch, swallowed by the chaotic energy, and directly entered Lu Chen's body.

"Hmm, I feel like my strength has increased somewhat!"

"continue!"

Lu Chen devoured the next spirit sword.

In the end, only a mid-grade spirit sword was left behind, since weapons would be needed in the future; the rest were all devoured.

There was a large pile of other miscellaneous weapons left on the ground, such as knives and guns.

Lu Chen swallowed it all in one gulp.

"Huh? Devouring these other weapons seems to be somewhat useful, but it's not as good as devouring the spirit sword!"

Lu Chen carefully sensed his current state and felt that it was roughly at the ninth level of the True Essence Realm.

He was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the Transcendent Realm.

However, Lu Chen is not currently facing any bottlenecks.

Simply keep absorbing nutrients to directly increase your strength.

"good!"

Lu Chen was quite satisfied.

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning, Lu Chen went out.

As soon as he opened the door, Qingfeng was already standing in front of him.

"Good morning, Senior Sister Qingfeng!"

Lu Chen had already sensed her presence, but he still pretended to have just found out and greeted Qing Feng with a smile.

Qingfeng, however, showed no kindness whatsoever, glaring coldly at Lu Chen and asking, "Where is my sword?"

"Huh? Why would Senior Sister scold herself like that?"

Lu Chen looked surprised.

Qingfeng angrily retorted, "I mean, where is my sword?"

"Your sword?" Lu Chen suddenly realized, "Okay, your sword is gone!"

Qingfeng reached out to draw her sword, but then she remembered that she already had one sword and would have none left.

"Give me back my sword!" Qingfeng said angrily.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Senior Sister, I've said it before, I won't return your sword unless you promise me one thing!"

"Speak!" Qingfeng said through gritted teeth, suppressing her anger.

Lu Chen's eyes darted around, and he said, "I like Senior Sister. Can I hug you, Senior Sister?"

As soon as he said that, Lu Chen regretted it.

That's too light.

Who knows, Senior Sister Qingfeng might agree after making a small sacrifice, and since no one will see it, the prize-winning attempt will fail.

Qingfeng was furious.

However, a hint of hesitation still lingered on her face.

This mid-grade spiritual weapon was her most precious weapon, and she absolutely could not lose it. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to explain it to her master.

In short, we must find the sword no matter what.

Qingfeng took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "You swear, you really only... only hugged me once!"
