"However..." The Heavenly Dao looked at Qi Qi, its expression complex, "To leave it completely unchecked is itself a provocation against the rules of the Heavenly Dao. As a cultivator, you should be well aware of the consequences of such a provocation. Even I, as the Heavenly Dao itself, cannot interfere with these consequences!"
Upon hearing that the benefits he had secured for the little guy actually had hidden dangers, Huo Yusen immediately became restless.
"What do you mean? Qiqi, what bad consequences will this have for you?"
Qiqi waved her hand, "It's nothing, just a little trouble, I can handle it."
The Heavenly Dao looked at her with a half-smile. A little trouble? You can solve it?
Hopefully, she can actually solve it by then!
Qiqi glared at him with her big eyes, warning him not to say anything out of line.
Then he turned his head and looked at Huo Yusen with bright, admiring eyes.
Brother Xiao Jiu is so handsome! An ordinary person is not afraid of the Heavenly Dao at all, and can even bargain with him, leaving the Heavenly Dao speechless.
Noticing the little girl's gaze, Huo Yusen almost couldn't contain himself, his smugness nearly overflowing.
He clenched his fist to suppress his emotions and said in a detached voice, "If you can't handle the rules, then something outside the rules should do, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. If you want Qiqi to fight the Demon Chief, you have to give her some good equipment, right?"
Heaven's Way: ...
Who on earth invented such a clever brat, just to retaliate against him?
But what he said makes so much sense.
In this era of scarce spiritual energy, it was already an exceptionally difficult task for Qiqi to deal with the chief demon.
Without the aid of a good ritual implement, the chances of success are probably less than one in ten thousand.
However, he couldn't just stuff the magic weapon into the little girl's hand.
Moreover, time waits for no one. If Qiqi hasn't grown up by the time the Demon Chief breaks the seal, this world will truly be doomed.
Thinking of this, Tiandao gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I can give the little girl some things. But I can't give these things directly; I can only give you clues, and you'll have to find them yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yusen remained silent, only looking at Qiqi.
He didn't understand these things and was afraid that he might accidentally cause trouble for Qiqi again.
Although Qiqi said it was nothing, he still felt uneasy about the condition that was outside the rules.
Qiqi peeked out from behind Huo Yusen, looking like an adorable little kitten.
"Can you give me the Xuanyuan Sword?"
The Xuanyuan Sword is the personal sword of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. It possesses spirituality and has nurtured a sword spirit since ancient times.
When the Yellow Emperor used the Xuanyuan Sword to kill the Demon Lord Chiyou, demon blood splattered on the sword, and from then on the Xuanyuan Sword had a natural restraining effect on all demons in the world.
If we're talking about the best weapon for fighting demons, then the Xuanyuan Sword is the one to choose!
Heaven's Way: ...
You really dare to ask for that!
Tiandao glanced at the little girl, then at Huo Yusen behind her, who was silently putting pressure on him with a cold face, and his back teeth were practically grinding to powder.
But in the end, he could only nod in resignation. After all, this thing was indeed a powerful weapon against the demons, and it would be a good thing if it could still be put to good use.
They gave it to them, but whether they can find it is up to them.
"The Xuanyuan Sword can be yours, but you must retrieve it yourself. Whether you can obtain it depends on your own ability!"
I thought the little girl would back down, but to my surprise, she smiled brightly and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Heavenly Dao! Don't worry, I will definitely get the Xuanyuan Sword, slay the Demon Chief, and save the world!"
Tian Dao's lips twitched, and he waved his hand. "You're welcome. If you can get it, you're capable, and it's also beneficial to me." He then looked at Huo Yusen. "Now, you don't have any other requests, right?"
Furthermore, he wouldn't agree to that either.
Huo Yusen didn't speak, but looked at Qiqi. He didn't know what the Xuanyuan Sword was or what its specific function was.
Qiqi leaned closer and whispered an explanation in his ear. Huo Yusen's eyes flickered before he nodded, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk about what we need in the future."
Upon hearing this, Tiandao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the little fox might be dissatisfied and make other excessive demands.
If they keep ripping him off, he'll be bald!
"Words are no proof, let's sign and put our fingerprints on it!"
Huo Yusen pulled a contract out from under his buttocks.
Heaven's Way: ...
Good, good, so he, the mighty Heavenly Dao, is so untrustworthy in the eyes of mortals like them?
They even require a signature and fingerprint!
Tiandao was furious, puffing out his beard and glaring for a long time, but the two little ones just stared with innocent, pure eyes, as if he was trying to trick them by refusing to sign.
Furious, he had no choice but to raise his hand and wave it, and a unique symbol appeared at the bottom of the document, where the signature would be.
Qiqi glanced at it and nodded to Huo Yusen.
Huo Yusen then put the documents away. "Alright, now you can tell Qiqi where the Xuanyuan Sword is."
"Zijingshan in Beijing!"
Heaven, fuming, turned and disappeared with a flick of its sleeve.
He was clearly furious!
"Wow, the Xuanyuan Sword is actually in Beijing! We were just about to go there. It seems like fate is on my side to get such a magical item!"
Qiqi giggled and hugged Huo Yusen's arm, "Little Jiu, you're amazing! How is your brain so smart?!"
As he spoke, he tiptoed and ruffled Huo Yusen's hair twice.
Huo Yusen enjoyed the little girl's adoration, pulled her little hand down, and handed her the contract. "He's pretty smart, isn't he? Keep this safe. If he doesn't keep his promise next time, use this to slap him in the face."
Rumble!
A series of thunderous roars outside the window revealed the displeasure of Heaven.
He's a man of his word, isn't he?
Is he that kind of person?!
Qiqi's eyes were full of stars; she adored Huo Yusen.
That gaze made Huo Yusen wish he could hide the little girl away so that she would only ever look at him with that kind of gaze again.
He pinched his palm hard to suppress that thought, and then gently pinched the girl's cheek. "Alright, it's late, get some rest, or you won't be able to get up for your morning lessons tomorrow!"
Upon hearing the morning lesson, Qiqi's face contorted for a moment, somewhat diminishing her joy at receiving news about the Xuanyuan Sword.
Goodnight, Brother Xiao Jiu.
Goodnight, Qiqi.
Watching the little girl struggle to climb onto the bed with her bottom sticking out, and then pull the blanket over herself tightly, Huo Yusen turned off the light and closed the door for her before turning around and going back to his own room.
When Huo Yusen opened the door and saw the illusory figure suspended in the window, his pupils contracted slightly, but his face showed no surprise.
"Kid, it seems you guessed I'd come looking for you!"
