Agares stared intently into the pit, at the blade that emitted the whistling sound, not even glancing at Shu Xubai, treating him as if he were air, as if he didn't exist, ignoring him completely.
Bo Jichen, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Lord Shu Xubai, you are definitely a scumbag. You have one in your arms and still have the nerve to care about the one in the pit."
"Be careful not to capsize in the ditch, or you'll end up in the crematorium, where you'll have nowhere to cry."
No sooner had Bo Jichen finished speaking than Jiu Feng pulled away the hand covering his eyes, her innocent eyes glaring at Bo Jichen, calling out to him in a cute yet fierce tone: "Uncle, Bai Bai is Bai Bai, not a scumbag. Bai Bai only has me, no one else."
"So, uncle, don't talk nonsense, don't spout nonsense, don't be a bad uncle who ruins Bai Zi's reputation."
Bo Jichen: "!!!!"
Uncle?
Should we call him uncle?
The little chicks call him uncle?
He's so young.
So handsome and dashing.
The little chicks call him uncle?
What major interstellar news is this?
Oh……
He truly experienced a phoenix-like rebirth... a rebirth.
It's confirmed, there's no doubt about it.
Shu Xu covered Jiu Feng's eyes with his white hand once again, and said fiercely, "Ignore him, he's no one of importance."
Jiufeng pressed her head tightly against his chest and nodded, her sweet, childlike voice almost tooth-rotting. "Okay, I'll be the most obedient, I'll listen to Bai Bai the most."
Uncle + Bo Jichen: "..."
Is this dog food?
Is this dog food?
No…
This is dog food.
His ex…
Pooh…
The wretched chicks forced him to eat dog food.
It's as if he never kissed anyone.
Once his eldest daughter comes up, he can go back to the palace and see his beloved. He can kiss her, hug her, and hold her.
He hasn't seen his sweetheart for 79 days, he hasn't seen his sweetheart face to face.
Not to mention kissing, hugging, cuddling, and sleeping together!
well!
Life is so hard!
The deafening clang of the sword abruptly stopped.
The ground shook again.
The knife in the pit swayed with the shaking of the ground.
The branch on the knife handle broke off instantly and fell into the pit.
The knife, which had been stuck in the middle of the pit, seemed to have been freed and shot up from the pit with a red glow.
Agares ignored the leaping blade, his eyes fixed on the deep pit.
Bo Jichen's gaze followed the blade as it shot into the air like fireworks, spun once high in the sky, leaving a red tail, and then fell at the speed of light.
With a clang, it was driven into the ground, leaving only the hilt sticking out...
"Bai Bai, that knife is so much fun, can I pull it out?" Jiu Feng asked Shu Xubai innocently, her eyes curiously looking at the knife stuck in the ground.
Shu Xubai didn't cover his eyes, but turned his head away to prevent him from seeing the knife. He said in a harsh voice, "With your small body, you still want to pull that knife? You'll be hurt by its blade aura before you even get close to it."
Jiufeng asked, puzzled, "Why? It seems quite well-behaved to me."
Shu Xubai covered his ears and gently patted his head: "Good boy, the artifact recognizes its master, you don't think it's fake, do you?"
Jiufeng repeated Shu Xubai's words: "A divine artifact?"
Shu Xubai stared at the knife stuck in the ground, with only the hilt showing: "Yes, that knife is called Hunting Killer, the Hunting of prey and the Killing of slaughter."
"Later generations considered it a divine weapon, but in reality it was a murder weapon. When it was forged, its first owner was a general, nearly five or six thousand years ago. That general used this new sword to attack a city."
"After the siege, the general ordered all the boys and girls in the city to be gathered together, and used this knife to cut off their heads one by one. He warned everyone not to resist, and anyone who disobeyed would have their entire family killed."
"Then 2,800 boys and girls were killed by the blade, and the many souls that died by the blade caused the blade to become resentful, as if it were filled with a curse. The general and his troops were also completely wiped out in the next battle."
"After that, the sword lay dormant for nearly 500 years until it was obtained by someone. The person who took the sword rose from an unknown nobody to become a regional overlord in the chaotic world."
"The sword has cut off at least ten thousand heads, and a legend has emerged that whoever obtains the sword will either become a regional overlord or a general."
"Someone was tempted, so they went to snatch the knife, to steal it. Coincidentally, the man who became a local tyrant lost his knife, and it was as if his spirit had been drained. The land and the power he possessed crumbled instantly and disappeared."
"After several twists and turns, the knife ended up in Jiang Si's hands. She held it down and made her her master. Little friend, with your small body, let alone drawing the knife, the sheer aura of the blade could cut your hand off."
Jiufeng shrank back, wanting to turn his head to look at the knife again, but Shu Xubai pressed his head down, not letting him look, as if he would be cut by the knife if he looked at it even once more.
Bo Jichen was somewhat surprised, never expecting that his adopted daughter was such a connoisseur, recognizing this high-quality item at first glance at the auction and bidding on it...
That's not right...
The knife recognizes its master…
This knife originated from ancient China...
My adopted daughter even went to ancient Earth, China, in the Milky Way galaxy?
"Then what is this?" Bo Jichen pointed to the red branches growing in the pit. The branches were thin and smooth, like fine threads, and they were densely packed, wriggling in the pit without wind, like countless small snakes. If someone had trypophobia, they would definitely faint from fright.
Shu Xubai glanced coldly at Bo Jichen and snorted, saying angrily, "Who are you? Why should I tell you? Can't you see for yourself?"
Bo Jichen: "..."
“Twigs, willow twigs.” Agares, who had been silent until now, spoke up: “This is a plant from ancient Earth and ancient China in the Milky Way galaxy, called Yanliu, that is, willow branches, willow trees.”
"When the willows are shrouded in mist and wind, the willows will float up gracefully. When viewed in a grove, it looks as if a wisp of smoke shrouds the canopy, hence the name 'Smoky Willows'!"
"Of course, in ancient China, there is a proverb that says, 'Peaches protect people, apricots harm people, and a dead person is buried under a willow tree, or a willow tree is planted on the head of a dead person.'"
Shu Xubai frowned, looking at this little dog who was more than 3,000 years younger than him. He had to admit that it was smart, knowledgeable, and had strong mental strength.
He even understands ancient Chinese proverbs and customs, which shows that he has read and studied a lot in his daily life, and has a good understanding of various things.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jichen involuntarily swallowed hard: "So... how is my precious daughter doing? These willow branches are growing so lushly, could it be...?"
“No.” Agares interrupted his teacher, staring at the densely packed willow branches in the pit, wriggling and scrambling to fill it up: “She’s not dead. She’s down there, under these willow branches. She needs time. She can’t come up now!”
