Chapter 44 Immortal Lord 044%
.
When Qu Yaoyao woke up, the man was already sleeping on the couch.
The curtains in the room were hung down layer by layer to block out the glaring sunlight for her. She rolled around on the couch with the quilt in her arms, still half awake.
I stayed up too late last night.
Qu Yaoyao yawned and raised her hand to rub her eyes. As she moved her wrist, she felt something encircle it. The warmth, tinged with her body temperature, was light yet impossible to ignore.
"What is this?" Qu Yaoyao found a bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet is made entirely of solid gold, and the body is in the shape of a beautiful retro phoenix. Its long feathers are encircled around her wrist, inlaid with tiny red crystals. The tail and head are facing each other in the air. At first glance, it looks like a real little phoenix is encircling her wrist.
"So beautiful..." Qu Yaoyao was stunned.
After rubbing her eyes several times, she carefully touched the phoenix bracelet on her wrist and couldn't take her eyes off it. She found that its material was exactly the same as the little phoenix that Xie Qingxun had given her before.
She had a vague answer in her mind, and her heart felt sweet as if she had swallowed a piece of candy. She couldn't help but hug the quilt and roll around on the couch again.
At this moment, a corner of the heavy curtain was lifted. Xie Qingxun looked at the bed that had been messed up by Qu Yaoyao and raised his eyebrows slightly. "What are you doing?"
Qu Yaoyao raised her eyes in response.
Her emotions were always exposed on her face, her eyes bright and clear, as if filled with broken stars. When her emotions overflowed from her eyes, she would flutter her feet or rub her head, then raise her wrist with a sweet smile, "This—"
She gently shook the bracelet on her wrist. "Did you give this to me?"
Xie Qingxun stared at her fair wrist. He had to admit that the bracelet suited her very well, but he said casually, "No."
He held himself up to his status as an Immortal Lord and said, "You betrayed me before, so why should I give you anything?"
Qu Yaoyao's eyes widened a little.
If she hadn't gotten to know Xie Qingxun well enough after spending so much time with him, she would have been fooled by him again. After looking at the bracelet and then back at him, Qu Yaoyao had the answer in her mind, "You're lying to me."
"This bracelet was obviously given by you, why don't you admit it?"
As she spoke, she threw away the quilt and took a few steps into Xie Qingxun's arms. She moved vigorously as if she was afraid that he would run away. She hugged his neck tightly and kissed his face fiercely.
"Thank you for the gift." Qu Yaoyao was genuinely happy. "I like it so much."
Xie Qingxun put his arms around her and accepted Qu Yaoyao's "stamp" forcefully. Seeing that this had become her usual move, he spoke in a leisurely tone without any rebuke, "Who taught you to be so affectionate to everyone you meet?"
"It's taught in the book." It was still the book "The Domineering Immortal Fell in Love with Me".
Qu Yaoyao lay on Xie Qingxun's shoulder, still admiring her little phoenix bracelet. When the heat of the moment wore off, she asked, "Where's the little phoenix pendant from earlier?"
Xie Qingxun looked at her, snorted, and said a few words lightly: "Crush it."
That night, Qu Yaoyao was so angry with him that he wanted to strangle her to death, so how could he still keep the pendant? However, although the pendant was destroyed, Xie Qingxun kept the material from which it was made.
This is a very special material that can be molded into any shape according to the owner's wishes. Xie Qingxun is a very domineering person. He wants his things to be unique. Since Qu Yaoyao treasures her pendant so much, he will give her something else unique.
Now that I think about it, his idea of giving in was really humble.
After learning that the bracelet on her wrist was the little phoenix, Qu Yaoyao sighed and felt relieved.
The sun was shining brightly today. The curtains were rolled up, and the light fell on the face of the girl in his arms, her face as soft and plump as a peach. Xie Qingxun couldn't help but think of the peach Qu Yaoyao had given him a few days ago. The sweet fragrance seemed to still linger at the end of her eyes, and he couldn't help but lean over and gently brush his lips against it.
He just wanted to taste it briefly, but the peach was so sweet that he couldn't help but take a small bite.
It doesn't hurt, but I can feel the marks of my teeth scraping against it.
Qu Yaoyao looked at Xie Qingxun blankly, and asked in confusion: "Why did you bite me?"
But she didn't hide, and just regarded it as a thank you gift to Xie Qingxun for giving her the bracelet.
Xie Qingxun smiled again.
A smile from the heart broke through his cold brows, and his long eyelashes trembled. Xie Qingxun did not bite her again but gently kissed the place where he had bitten her. He held her wrist and said, "Do you want to know what is hidden in this bracelet?"
Is there something hidden in here?
Qu Yaoyao wanted to know, of course. She was about to go out, but Xie Qingxun stopped her and said, "Change your clothes first."
She was still wearing his clothes.
In just one night, a wardrobe suddenly appeared in the room, filled with all kinds of dresses, all belonging to Qu Yaoyao.
Amidst the rows of pink and red things, Qu Yaoyao sighed without much joy on her face. She glanced around a few times and noticed a light moon-white dress. Before she could reach out to take it, Xie Qingxun reached out from behind her and took out a delicate goose yellow brocade dress.
"Wear this one." Xie Qingxun made the decision for her.
Qu Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks and looked up at the man behind her, saying, "I don't want you to care."
Why doesn't she even have the freedom to choose her clothes?
Xie Qingxun smiled and patted her head, not allowing her to refuse. "I must take care of it."
"Why?"
"Because I am your husband, I have plenty of authority over you."
Qu Yaoyao muttered softly, "That's not written in the book."
Before the marriage, Qu Yingsi did send a nanny to teach her things, but she was confused and didn't dare to ask, and she forgot very quickly.
She had a good personality, was flexible and never overbearing, so even though she was dissatisfied with the dress, she only complained quietly and was too lazy to argue with Xie Qingxun.
It has to be said that although Xie Qingxun wears white all year round, he has a good sense of fashion and the clothes he chooses are very suitable for Qu Yaoyao. This light yellow brocade skirt is different from the traditional wide sleeves. The sleeves are narrow and the wrist is pendant with a small flower. The thin ribbon is wrapped around and hanging down, which is playful and cute.
At first, Qu Yaoyao didn't know why Xie Qingxun helped her choose such a neat dress, until he brought her out of the courtyard and gently stroked the phoenix on her wrist.
Swish——
The phoenix awakened and spread its wings, suddenly leaping into the air and dancing. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a winged sword handle. Some tiny lights condensed on the sword handle and quickly condensed into a sword body.
The sword was translucent, and spiritual energy swirled around it, clearly reflecting Qu Yaoyao's figure. Qu Yaoyao was stunned in place and heard Xie Qingxun ask her: "Do you like it?"
Qu Yaoyao raised her hand, wanting to touch it but not daring to. She said in disbelief, "So... it's actually a magical weapon?"
"That's right." Xie Qingxun looked at the long sword in front of him and said in a casual tone, "It's just a little gadget that everyone in the Emperor Phoenix clan has. I just happen to have some left. It would be a pity to destroy it, so I might as well give it to you."
Qu Yaoyao's heart was completely focused on this beautiful sword, and she did not think carefully about Xie Qingxun's words.
"Are you really going to give me such a good sword?" She felt a little embarrassed. She thought it was just an ordinary bracelet, but she didn't expect it to be a top-grade magic weapon.
Xie Qingxun raised his eyebrows, "Don't want it?"
"If you don't want it, forget it." He was about to take back the sword, but Qu Yaoyao quickly protected him, "Yes, yes, yes, of course!"
She doesn't have a suitable magic sword yet.
Provoked by Xie Qingxun, she stretched out her hand to touch the sword, but Xie Qingxun was so fast that he didn't have time to stop her. The sword emitted golden light, and the shape of a phoenix condensed and swooped down towards Qu Yaoyao. Qu Yaoyao was startled, and while she was dodging, Xie Qingxun protected her in time in his arms, and waved his sleeves to disperse the shadow.
"How could this happen..." Qu Yaoyao grabbed Xie Qingxun's arm.
After the phoenix's shadow was shattered, it transformed into tiny dots of light that protected the immortal sword. It looked harmless, but in reality, it was extremely aggressive. Qu Yaoyao could only watch, not daring to touch it again. With a hint of disappointment, she said, "Does it dislike me?"
It was clearly wrapped around her wrist obediently before, but how come it became as ferocious as Xie Qingxun after turning into a magic sword?
Xie Qingxun seemed to have anticipated this. He patted the little head on his arm soothingly and said calmly, "This sword is fierce and hard to get rid of. It's surrounded by hostility. If you don't recognize it as your master, you will only be attacked by it."
"Is it really that powerful?" Qu Yaoyao carefully examined the sword floating in the air, and after a moment she said, "It's certainly fierce, but I don't see any hostility. The light on it is more beautiful than the stars, so how could it possibly be full of hostility?"
If it really was a vicious sword, how could Xie Qingxun give it to her so confidently?
Xie Qingxun curled his lips slightly, looking at the Immortal Sword with a slightly strange look in his eyes. He murmured, "You are the only one who thinks so."
"Recognize the Lord first."
Qu Yaoyao nodded, bit her finger and dripped blood onto the hilt of the sword. Seeing the white sword gradually turn red, she thought it was over, but in a flash of light, Xie Qingxun suddenly dripped a drop of his blood into the hilt of the sword.
"Why do you want it too?"
Xie Qingxun did not answer.
As his blood entered the sword, the blade glowed brightly red, once again condensing into the shape of a phoenix. No longer possessing the sinister, oppressive presence of the past, the beautiful phoenix slowly flew towards Qu Yaoyao, circling her twice before returning to the hilt.
"Okay." Xie Qingxun raised his hand, picked up the sword, and handed it to Qu Yaoyao.
Qu Yaoyao shrank back slightly, glanced at Xie Qingxun and quickly took the sword. She was still on guard that the sword would suddenly attack her, but she never expected the sword to be so docile in her hand, making a soft sword sound in her hand.
"Go and try it." Xie Qingxun stepped back to make room.
Qu Yaoyao wanted to say that she didn't know any sword moves, only magic, and no one had ever taught her how to wield a sword. But since Xie Qingxun had spoken, she politely demonstrated a few moves.
Holding the magic sword, she spun around a few times. Then, imitating the group of cultivators, she shouted and thrust the sword forward, which instantly caused a burst of rude laughter.
"Are you dancing?"
Xie Qingxun held his forehead and looked at her, a smile still on his lips. He looked at the little girl in the central open space and quickly shook his head, "It's not dancing. No dancing is as ugly as yours. It's a shaman dance, right?"
When he went to the netherworld before, he saw a charlatan jumping around on a high platform, with movements similar to those of Qu Yaoyao.
After hearing this, Qu Yaoyao didn't get angry. She laughed along with him and didn't feel embarrassed to tell the truth. "I can't do it."
He spoke naturally, with a hint of regret and helplessness, "No one taught me swordsmanship. This is the first time I've touched a sword in my life."
It sounds quite pitiful.
Xie Qingxun looked at her and suddenly rolled up his sleeves.
Revealing his smooth and powerful wrists, he walked behind Qu Yaoyao, hugged her waist, stretched out his right arm and placed his hand on the back of her sword-gripping hand. Leaning forward slightly, he lowered his eyes to glance at her and whispered, "Watch carefully, I will only teach you this once."
After he finished speaking, Qu Yaoyao felt as if her feet had left the ground and were flying into the air. Her body danced gracefully under the guidance of Xie Qingxun, and her hands, feet and waist seemed to be out of control.
"Look up." Xie Qingxun led Qu Yaoyao to draw a sharp sword.
When Qu Yaoyao looked up in response, her left leg lifted up uncontrollably, and the goose-yellow hem of her dress fluttered and spread out, like a blooming flower covering Xie Qingxun's clothes.
Then there was another turn, and Qu Yaoyao tilted her head to see Xie Qingxun's profile clearly. The man had deep phoenix eyes and a straight nose, and his skin was as cold as porcelain, and he looked so handsome no matter how she looked at him.
While she was stunned, Xie Qingxun's smooth sword moves had come to an end. With the final leap forward, Xie Qingxun led the sword in her hand to pierce the dead leaves falling in mid-air, and the sword moves were completely completed.
"Have you learned it?" A few strands of hair fell on Xie Qingxun's cheek, and he lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms.
Qu Yaoyao was still staring at him, and when he suddenly looked back at her, she jolted back to her senses, her arms trembling, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "I haven't learned it yet."
"Can you teach me again?"
Xie Qingxun: “…”
He had agreed to teach her only once, but at Qu Yaoyao's soft pleading, Xie Qingxun still taught her twice more.
At the end of the third time, the little girl in his embrace did not feel the slightest bit guilty about her own stupidity. Instead, she enthusiastically and shamelessly said, "You are truly amazing! Can you teach me swordsmanship every day from now on?"
"Let's do it again, okay?"
Xie Qingxun's face was not red and his breathing was smooth, but Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth slightly and breathed slightly after three times, her cheeks flushed and she looked more like a ripe peach.
He narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. He let go of her and said, "I see you don't want to learn swordsmanship."
"I think so. I really want to learn it." However, beauty can mislead people, so Qu Yaoyao only memorized it carefully for the last time.
She was about to pester Xie Qingxun to teach her again when suddenly blue ripples appeared not far away. A semicircular barrier appeared from all sides, and Di Shu's figure appeared outside the barrier. "Master, someone from the main sect has sent a message, asking you to go to the meeting hall for a meeting."
Xie Qingxun raised his eyebrows, pushed away the girl who came in front of him, and replied calmly: "I know."
The sword Xie Qingxun had given Qu Yaoyao wasn't just any ordinary immortal sword, so before it appeared, he'd set up a barrier around it. Even when he was teaching Qu Yaoyao swordsmanship, no one except him could see it.
To remove the barrier and avoid unnecessary trouble, he lightly tapped the magic sword.
Qu Yaoyao only saw the sword flash slightly, without any change. Under her puzzled gaze, Xie Qingxun explained: "I cast a magic spell on it. No one except you and me can see the true appearance of this sword."
"Why is it like this?" Qu Yaoyao didn't understand and felt sorry for the sword.
Xie Qingxun casually brushed her hair, gave her a complicated look and said, "Anyone who has anything to do with the Phoenix will be besieged by the Immortal Sect."
It is even very likely that you will die.
Xie Qingxun didn't want to do this either, but this was the only way he could protect Qu Yaoyao.
Qu Yaoyao wanted to say that she was not afraid, but Chong'an suddenly said, "Yaoyao, listen to him."
Qu Yaoyao was choking on the words she wanted to say and lowered her head in disappointment.
"I'm leaving." Xie Qingxun still had important things to do.
He didn't teach Qu Yaoyao for nothing. After going through so much with her, he wanted to see some reward. Before leaving, he told Qu Yaoyao, "Practice your sword skills well. I'll come back to check on you."
Qu Yaoyao nodded and agreed. After all, she had nothing to do and it was a good opportunity to practice sword skills.
Recalling the sword moves Xie Qingxun had just taught her, Qu Yaoyao tried to imitate them twice. Without the support and control of the person behind her, her sword movements were slow and lacked any killing power, and she often paused.
"What moves came next?" Qu Yaoyao practiced swordplay as if no one was around, and didn't notice anyone approaching.
She didn't notice it, but Chong'an did. The pendant was emitting a faint red light. He said in a deep voice: "Jump into the air and stab."
Qu Yaoyao turned around as she remembered, gripping the long sword and swinging it forward with force. A floating dead leaf fell on the blade and was cut in half. The man behind the dead leaf slightly turned sideways to avoid the sharp sword energy blowing towards him.
Qu Yaoyao didn't expect there to be someone behind her, so she quickly put away her sword. She looked closely at the person in front of her and exclaimed, searching her memory: "You are Mo——"
"Mo Xuanxiao."
The author has something to say: I am drawing this sword for you, because there will be a big drama after this sword, with both romance and sad moments.
The name of the sword has not been decided yet. Does anyone have any nice and meaningful names? There will be prizes for your submissions.
