Chapter 100 Azure Sword Spirit
When Ye Tanji instructed his subordinates to bring the first batch of information interference into the bronze gate, three insect kings and tens of thousands of insect offspring had already gathered there.
After the information interference was used, the effect was very significant, and the Zerg King's control over the Zerg army indeed failed.
Without the unified command of the Zerg King, the Zerg army, when hunted by the elites of the nine major families, no longer possessed its former composure and fearlessness.
The Zerg King panicked, and the Zerg army was thrown into chaos, reducing its combat effectiveness by at least half.
Seeing this, the cultivators on Yunyuan Shangjing's side were invigorated and increased their speed in killing the insects.
The main reason why humans cannot stop the rampage of the Zerg army is that they are numerous, know how to advance and retreat, and are fearless.
Now, the Zerg no longer have any advantage except for their numbers.
After spraying the information interference this time, the mechanical hummingbirds hid inside the bronze door. When the insect king releases its mating pheromones, it will spray the information interference again to prevent the male insects from gathering around the insect king.
With the loss of a large number of male insects, the number of eggs laid by the insect king will be reduced to one-tenth. Without a continuous supply of eggs, the threat posed by the insect race will be reduced to the level of ordinary monsters.
The world-ending disaster that Yunyuan Shangjing faced this time can be considered basically resolved.
While everyone was busy with the vigorous pest control efforts, Xi'er had some free time.
Bo Yiyan and his team generated huge profits from the information interference they formulated and the mechanical hummingbirds they created.
Bo Yiyan generously gave Xi'er one million top-grade spirit stones. With nothing else to do, Xi'er decided to go to Zhaixing City to buy a house and land before anyone else could react.
As an outsider from another world, she was naturally unfamiliar with these procedures, so she begged Steward Liu for help.
Manager Liu had a good impression of the cute little girl and was naturally willing to help.
However, at the agreed time, just fifteen minutes before departure, she was summoned by Steward Feng and asked to lead a group to treat the wounded in the insect extermination battle of the nine great families.
Manager Liu apologized and told Xi'er he would accompany her in two days, leaving Xi'er alone at the gate of Night Pool Palace, silently gazing at the sky.
Xi'er was very anxious. Business opportunities are fleeting. By the time everyone else realized what was happening, land and housing prices would have already gone up.
She gritted her teeth and decided to go by herself. If all else failed, she would find a large dental clinic and pay more in brokerage fees.
Then she saw Ye Tanji arrive with two attendants, and Po Xiao warmly approached her:
"Miss Bai Xi, our master is going to Star Picking City. Would you like to come along for a stroll?"
"Is it inconvenient for me to follow along when the Palace Master is on official business?" Xi'er said.
"It's alright, I'm just going to the city lord's mansion for tea. Let's go!" Ye Tanji's tone was gentle, but his words left no room for refusal.
Xi'er's speed on her sword was far inferior to theirs, so it was safer and easier to travel with them. She readily agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Palace Master."
Dawn and Sunrise exchanged a glance, concealing their joy, and quietly took a few steps back, keeping a proper distance from their master.
Just as Xi'er was about to ask Po Xiao to take her with her, she felt a gentle force pull her to Ye Tanji's side.
Ye Tanji's natal magic weapon is a dark green sword. When Xi'er was pulled to his side, it automatically transformed into a soft and comfortable semi-circular chair with a semi-circular table in front of it.
It is five feet wide, just the right size for two people to sit, with a two-foot gap in between.
Ye Tanji had calculated in advance that this distance would not make Xi'er feel nervous, but would be relatively intimate, so that they could make eye contact with each other by turning their heads.
Delicious pastries and sweet fruit juices that girls love are laid out on the table.
Dawn and Sunrise followed behind, unable to help but secretly give a thumbs up: It has to be their master! So considerate, so thoughtful, and with such a perfect sense of proportion!
Although the master is a bit old, his skills in pursuing girls are far superior to those greenhorns!
Xi'er remained completely dazed until she sat down in the chair.
It was Dawn who invited her to go together, and she thought Dawn would take her on his sword, but instead she ended up on Night Pool's flying sword.
Before she could even think, she saw a delicate little dumpling dressed in a dark green robe appear on the dining table.
"Miss Bai Xi, hello! I am the sword spirit of the Azure Sword. Welcome to ride the Azure Sword!" The little dumpling's crisp, childlike voice was full of enthusiasm.
Xi'er was very surprised; it was the first time she had ever seen a sword spirit.
It is said that a sword reflects its owner, but it is too incongruous for someone as aloof and noble as Ye Tanji to have such an adorable sword spirit!
However, little dumplings always make people unconsciously lower their guard and feel affection and tenderness.
"Thank you! Should I call you Senior Bi Cang?" Xi'er asked with a smile.
"Is he that old? Can't you just change 'senior' to 'brother'?" the Azure Sword Spirit pouted.
"Pfft! I'll still call you A-Cang!" Xi'er was amused by his cute appearance, and she couldn't help but want to call him little brother A-Cang.
"Ah Cang? Good, good, I like this name!" The Azure Sword Spirit clapped and laughed. Ah Cang is a very affectionate name.
The sword spirit is indeed connected to its master's mind, which is why Bi Cang conjured up a round chair and a circular table, and even created a three-headed, small, round phantom image.
If he were to manifest in front of other people, he would definitely appear as a cool and aloof young man.
The best image for the master to get close to Miss Bai Xi is, of course, a little dumpling. This way, she will feel relaxed and will take the initiative to communicate with him.
Ye Tanji silently watched his sword spirit communicate with Xi'er, wishing he could kick Bi Cang far away and turn himself into a little dumpling to stand in front of her.
The Azure Sword Spirit was very talkative, always picking on topics that Xi'er liked, such as the various secret realms he had visited, the exotic flowers and herbs he had seen, and his battles with high-level demonic beasts...
Throughout the journey, Xi'er listened attentively to his recounting of these strange sights and experiences, and then answered his questions without any reservations.
The question that the Azure Sword Spirit was most concerned about was, of course, her experiences from childhood to adulthood.
When Xi'er recounted her participation in the defense of Five Elements City, the Azure Sword Spirit was filled with worry.
The little dumpling looked even cuter with that expression, and Xi'er couldn't help but reach out and pinch his chubby cheeks.
The Azure Sword Spirit is no ordinary weapon spirit; even its illusory form has a real tactile feel when held in the hand.
Ye Tanji became increasingly agitated as he watched, yet he was reluctant to increase his sword-riding speed.
This was a rare opportunity he had finally found to spend time alone with Xi'er.
Dawn and Sun Seeker, who were following far behind the Azure Sword, were forced to slow down their sword-riding speed.
Heavens above! Earth below!
In order to spend time with Miss Bai Xi, the master deliberately delayed the journey, which should have taken half a quarter of an hour, into an hour!
