Chapter 006: Sword Sacrifice

"Ling'er, this is the green stem porridge that your mother made for you. Do you want to taste it and see if it tastes good?"

Zeng Shuiyue, with a kind smile on her face, brought over a bowl of rice porridge with a light green color. Every grain of rice porridge was made from green rice and had a rich and mellow aroma.

"Thank you, mother!"

Chu Ling said happily with an innocent smile on her face.

"Mom, you are the best person in the world to me. I will never leave you and dad in my life."

Zeng Shuiyue smiled and touched her head.

"Silly child, are you not going to get married in the future?"

These words made Chu Ling silent.

Get married?

Who to marry?

On land?

If she had not married Lu Ye, and had seen how charming and elegant he was, who else in the world would have been able to catch her eye again? Who else could have replaced Lu Ye in her heart?

"Ling'er doesn't want to marry. She just wants to stay with her father and mother forever and be with her family." Chu Ling's smile was a little forced.

"Okay, okay, I won't get married. Drink your porridge quickly, or it will get cold later."

Chu Ling nodded and started drinking the green stem porridge in small sips.

Zeng Shuiyue looked at Chu Ling swallowing and her smile became even kinder.

This time, her son was completely safe.

Originally, he wanted to let this girl be his son's sword slave, but he never thought that the magic sword forged by the ancestor needed a sword sacrificer.

There are also very strict requirements for sword sacrificers.

The only ones who meet the requirements are her son Chu Shifei and adopted daughter Chu Ling. She can't let her son be the sword sacrificer, right?

He drank the green stem porridge in one gulp, "Mom, it's delicious!"

"If it tastes good, drink more!"

After three bowls of green stem porridge, Chu Ling touched her stomach and said naively, "Mom, I can't drink any more. I'm tired of drinking."

"Silly girl, take a rest first. If you feel sleepy, just lie down on the bed and take a nap."

"I see!"

After Zeng Shuiyue left, Chu Ling was still thinking about getting married.

Soon, she felt a strong sense of sleepiness coming over her.

No!

Chu Ling is not a complete waste after all. She was the one who fought the most alongside Lu Ye. The Nine-Sky Sword Lady also gained her fame by killing with swords.

This sleepiness came too violently and was unusual.

She hurriedly practiced her skills.

The martial arts she practiced was called "The Great Slaughter Sword Sutra", a scripture with strong offensive capabilities. She has been practicing it since her rebirth.

Poisoned!

How did you get poisoned?

Chu Ling thought back to all the possible ways in which he might have been poisoned, and finally set his sights on the green stem porridge.

Her eyes widened, flashing with disbelief.

Is green stem porridge poisonous?

How is this possible!

Isn’t this the porridge that mother cooked for me?

The poison spread in the body. As a sword cultivator with strong combat power, Chu Ling naturally had the means to suppress the poison.

She suppressed the poison with her true Qi, and wanted to find out the truth, so she pretended to be unconscious.

"Knock, knock, knock... Ling'er, are you asleep?"

Chu Ling, who pretended to be unconscious, heard Zeng Shuiyue's voice.

She didn't answer.

Waited outside for a while.

"Okay, she has been poisoned, we can start." Zeng Shuiyue's voice was no longer gentle, but turned cold.

“Crack!”

The door opened.

A group of mermaids rushed in.

Zeng Shuiyue and Chu Xiongtian looked at the unconscious Chu Ling with joy on their faces.

"Take it away and give it to the ancestor!"

Two people stepped forward, held Chu Ling and walked towards the deepest part of Chu Jian Villa.

"The magic sword can finally be refined successfully. The ancestor can achieve a breakthrough in cultivation. My crisis is finally resolved." Chu Shifei said with a lingering fear.

"Humph, if she hadn't come back unexpectedly to die this time, you would have been the one sacrificed with the sword. If you don't practice well and spend all day dressing up, do you still hope for luck the next time you encounter danger?" Chu Xiongtian scolded.

"Dad, I was wrong. I will practice hard!"

"After the magic sword is completed, you must practice in seclusion for a year. You are not allowed to come out until you have cultivated the Chu Sword Skill to the fifth level!"

"Huh? The fifth floor!"

"Mom, how can I reach the fifth level in just one year? You're going to suffocate me to death. No, no, I can't take it."

"Isn't what your father said right? This time it's that damn girl who's back. If something happens again next time, you won't be strong enough and you'll just be a fish at the mercy of others."

Chu Ling listened to the conversation that she regarded as a family, and her heart felt like it fell into an ice cellar.

She couldn't believe what she heard.

Sword sacrificer?

Come back to die?

Is she the sword sacrificer?

She came back to die?

she……

"If you allow me to practice to the fifth level, that's fine. I have one request."

Chu Shifei seemed to understand that it was impossible to stay in seclusion for a long time this time.

So he took the opportunity to make a request.

"What request?" Zeng Shuiyue asked.

"I...I want to be alone with Chu Ling for half an hour. She's going to die anyway. The ancestor only wants the innate sword body. It's better to let me use it in advance. It won't affect anything."

"Ah... Dad, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat? Chu Ling is your sister!"

"It's not true after all. She is the daughter of those two damn slaves. She is clearly a slave. If she hadn't had a good physique and was able to become a sword sacrificer, she would have been taken by me long ago."

"I don't care anyway. If you want me to be in seclusion, I'll just need her for half an hour!!!"

Chu Shifei has already given up.

The bad weather in Chuxiong almost killed his own son on the spot, but was stopped by Zeng Shuiyue.

"Or, let your son be alone for half an hour..."

Zeng Shuiyue actually agreed!

In her opinion, Chu Ling was going to die anyway, and as a mother, she knew how much her son coveted Chu Ling.

After his wish was fulfilled, he could practice well.

Chu Xiong was annoyed. "No, at this critical moment, how can we let him do whatever he wants? If anything goes wrong, he will be the one to die!"

"If you dare to mess with me again, I will break your legs!"

Chu Xiongtian understood the seriousness of the matter and rebuked him sternly.

Many guards look at the nose with their eyes and the heart with their noses.

This family's affairs are not theirs to interfere in.

But Chu Ling was really stupid. After she came back, she found out that her biological parents were missing, but she didn't care. Chu Si died just because he was kind enough to ask her to leave, but she didn't notice it at all.

All I can say is, it is destined by heaven that people should die!

At this time, Chu Ling finally saw the true face of the Chu family.

Countless scenes instantly flashed through her mind.

"Master, Ling'er misses home. When can she come back home to visit?"

"No hurry, wait a little longer!"

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Wait until... a sword is completed!"

She thought the young master was talking about her sword, but now she thought about it, the young master was clearly talking about this magic sword!

The magic sword is done, so she doesn't need to sacrifice it anymore, and she can come back naturally.

…

"Sir, please, let me go home. I really miss my parents."

"Your biological parents, or your adoptive parents?"

"My stepfather and stepmother are my parents!"

"Ling'er, your parents are your biological parents. Your stepfather and stepmother may have different opinions about you sometimes."

"No way, my parents are the best to me, sir, how can you say that about them!"

At that time, I had a particularly fierce quarrel with the young master.

…

"Ling'er, the time has come. I will take you home!"

But when they arrived, Chujian Villa had become a ruin, and everyone inside was dead or injured.

"Those who harm others will eventually be harmed!"

"You deserve it! You deserve it!"

"Lu Ye!!! It's all your fault!!!"

…
