Ye Sisi snapped out of her reverie and asked the chattering little girl, "Can we find that place?"
The little girl looked blank at first, then patted her head and said, "You mean that dark, wailing place?"
Ye Sisi nodded. Although her senior brother said they couldn't go now, it would be good to find that guy's lair.
"It's possible, but now's not the time to talk about that. You guys hurry up and chop down that old bastard."
Ye Sisi's lips twitched as she asked, "What level is that old beast at?"
The white-haired girl scratched her face, a little guilty, and said, "According to your human realm, he should be at the Great Ascension Perfection now. Actually, he was just going through the Transcendent Tribulation before. I guess he'll be able to ascend after he refines this space."
Ye Sisi and Ye Shubai remained silent, just quietly watching the girl who was so guilty that she wanted to bury her head in her chest.
"Actually, we can fight. I'm very strong. If you're willing, let me merge with your natal sword. Even a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage can be beaten to a pulp."
Ye Shubai looked at the little girl who was looking at him with teary eyes and asked, "Why me? My junior sister's aptitude is clearly better, and her sword intent is more domineering."
The little girl glanced quickly at Ye Sisi and muttered, "It's because her sword intent is too strong that I'm a little scared, and her natal sword already has a complete sword spirit."
Ye Shubai was speechless. So he was chosen because he was weak. But it wouldn't be bad if this little guy could be his sword spirit. After all, it would take a long time for his natal sword to develop into a mature sword spirit. If the two were to merge, with this little girl's talkative nature, he probably wouldn't be lonely in the future.
"How about it? Look, I'm not only strong, but also very cute. In your local parlance, I even come with such a generous dowry. The entire small world is yours as long as my master doesn't come back. Think about it, my master has already ascended to heaven, and he probably won't be able to come back even if he wanted to. You're not losing out at all."
Ye Shubai's lips twitched, while Ye Sisi almost laughed until tears streamed down her face. Where did this little girl learn so many nonsensical and twisted theories? Does she even know what a dowry is before spouting nonsense?
"I can agree to your request. Tell me, what should we do next?"
The little girl poked each other with her index fingers, then lowered her head and said, "It might hurt a little. Also, if you can't withstand my sword intent, your sword heart will shatter and your cultivation will drop."
Ye Sisi frowned. Falling in cultivation level was one thing, but a shattered sword heart was not a good thing for a sword cultivator. It was very likely that he would never be able to lift a sword again.
"You should find someone else."
The little girl looked at Ye Sisi and tears were about to fall. "No, I've been searching for a long time, and only your sword hearts can withstand my sword intent. Otherwise, you could do it instead."
The little girl's voice grew softer and softer. Ye Sisi calmly said, "If you're afraid of me, why did you drag us in with you?"
The little girl plopped down on the ground, adopting a "what's the use" attitude: "I originally wanted to make you faint first, and if this guy couldn't take it, then you could take over. Although I'm only half a sword spirit, I don't want to die unless necessary. But who knew you would be so disobedient? What can I do?"
A big question mark popped into Ye Sisi's head. She really wanted to ask, "Why didn't you bring us in two separate times?" But she held back. This girl's mind wasn't normal to begin with, so it was normal for her to do something abnormal.
However, it's not hard to tell from the little girl's words that the reason she didn't want to choose him was not because his sword intent was too domineering, nor because he had a complete sword spirit, but because if she merged with Wuhen, she would disappear.
"Junior Sister, I want to give it a try. Maybe this is the opportunity for me to break through my cultivation level. Moreover, I can feel the connection between us. Trust me, nothing will happen."
Ye Sisi met Ye Shubai's bright, star-like eyes and hesitated, but finally nodded. The path of cultivation is inherently filled with both danger and opportunity; there is no such thing as smooth sailing.
"Go, Fourth Senior Brother!"
The white-haired girl scrambled to her feet, her dark, grape-like eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Nothing will happen, I trust my judgment."
"By the way, future master, what's your name?"
Ye Shubai found it somewhat amusing: "My name is Ye Shubai."
The little girl rested her chin on her hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, a good name. It sounds very cultured. But future master, I don't have a name yet."
Ye Shubai gently tapped the little girl's head with his finger: "I'll give you a name when you drop the word 'future' from your name."
Ye Sisi's figure gradually blurred, but before leaving, she still gave the little girl, who didn't yet have a name, a warning look.
The little girl shuddered: "Future master, your junior sister is so fierce."
Ye Shubai put away his smile and looked at the seemingly innocent girl with a cold expression: "Don't try any tricks on me. You know whether what you say is true or false, and so do I. The reason I'm willing to take the risk is only because we have a common enemy. If you dare to do anything excessive, feel free to try."
The young girl felt a chill run down her spine. Her initial thought of taking the initiative vanished instantly. It was as if a vicious, ravenous dragon resided in the heart of the young man before her. If she dared to take an inch forward, she would surely be the one to die.
"What are you saying, future master? How could I have any other thoughts? The most important thing right now is to deal with that old beast."
Ye Shubai nodded, his mind returning to his body. An ancient black longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand. His natal sword was called Night Wanderer, capable of killing without leaving a trace.
Ye Sisi had already briefly explained the situation, and what they needed to do now was to protect Ye Shubai.
Ye Shubai could see through the girl's ulterior motives; she was no less intelligent than him, so how could she not see it?
She couldn't refuse the look in her fourth senior brother's eyes, and she didn't have the right to make decisions for others.
All she had to do was trust her fourth senior brother, because this was indeed a tremendous opportunity. If the fusion was successful, he would be the first among them to break through to the Void Refinement stage.
Just then, a snow-white sword light descended straight down from the sky, enveloping Ye Shubai.
At the same time, the stone statues that had risen from the ground all turned their heads, their scarlet eyes fixed on the location where Ye Sisi and the others were.
"Screw you! Go die, go die, go die!"
