When Hua arrived at the Beauty Pavilion, before she even entered, Huan Yu came out to greet her, saying, "Huan Yu greets Goddess Hua."
Hua waved her hand dismissively, "Huanyu, you don't need to be so polite. It's me who's bothering you."
"What are you saying, Goddess? It is my honor that you have come to the Beauty Pavilion."
"Goddess, this way please. Tea and refreshments have been prepared. Is there anything else you need, Goddess?"
Hua followed Huanyu to the private room where she and Chuyu had been the day before. Hua glanced at the table and found that it was full of her favorite foods. Some of them were ordered yesterday, but others were things she had never tried before.
Judging from Huan Yu's completely unsurprised expression when he saw her, it seems that Chu Yu had already told him.
"Huanyu, go ahead and do your thing. You don't need to stay here. I'll wait for Sister Wanke here."
"In that case, Huan Yu will take her leave first. If the Goddess needs anything, please feel free to give her your orders."
After Huan Yu left, Hua waited listlessly for Wan Ke, tapping the hilt of the Merciful Sword absentmindedly, which finally angered the sword spirit.
A tiny figure, no bigger than a palm, popped out, glaring angrily at the flower. "Hey flower, are you bored and have nothing better to do?"
Hua smiled and looked at the little figure with his hands on his hips, "That's right."
As she spoke, she reached out and poked his puffed-up cheeks, "Little sword spirit, I'm so bored. Sister Wanke hasn't come yet. Will you chat with me for a while?"
The sword spirit looked helplessly at the flower that had disturbed its cultivation. It was clear that its cultivation level was much higher than hers, but what good was it?
You can't hit her or scold her, because she has a master backing her up. She's truly the number one little tyrant in the Six Realms!
He earnestly advised, "It's already spent. We can use our time to cultivate more."
Hua ignored the sword spirit's nagging, saying, "Little sword spirit, I'm still young, there's no rush. Besides, aren't you diligently cultivating? That's enough."
"puff!"
The sword spirit coughed up a mouthful of blood. Since it gained sentience, it had been diligently cultivating day and night, hoping that one day it could join the main god in dominating the six realms. In the past, it had indeed achieved great power and prestige.
Back then, everyone trembled at the sight of him, but everything changed when this bored woman poking his belly came back to life.
It was no longer the majestic Merciful Sword that followed the Supreme God; it had almost become Hua's personal sword, the kind that served as her bodyguard.
Besides protecting the flowers, now he also has to play with them and chat with them, waaaaaah~~~
"Little sword spirit, cheer up."
The little sword spirit wanted to cry as soon as he heard the flower's voice, but now he has to force a smile and whine.
"Little sword spirit, you've followed Chu Yu for so many years, you must know a lot about him, right?"
Speaking of this, the little sword spirit immediately perked up. It's not that he's bragging, but there are very few people in the entire Six Realms who understand their master better than it!
Hua found the little sword spirit's smug look amusing and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what Chu Yu did last night?"
The little sword spirit, feeling quite smug, blurted out, "Of course I know!"
She looked at him with sparkling eyes, "So what exactly did Chu Yu do?"
"Of course..."
He finally realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence. Hua was trying to trick him into revealing information. Sure enough, when he looked up, Hua was staring at him with wide eyes.
His heart skipped a beat. Luckily, he realized what had happened, or he would have let it slip and his master would have given him a good beating.
By then, he'll probably be nothing but scrap metal.
He abruptly changed the subject, feigning ignorance, "Master didn't go anywhere yesterday; he was cultivating the whole time."
Yes, cultivation. He wasn't wrong. Killing an eight-tailed fox is also a form of cultivation!
Thinking about it this way, I instantly felt more confident.
Hua looked at the little sword spirit with suspicion, "Really?"
But before I could ask any more questions, there was a knock at the door.
It must be Sister Wanke who has arrived. Hua Huanxi said, "Come in."
Seeing that Hua wasn't paying attention to him anymore, the little sword spirit quickly hid back inside the sword; if he continued to ask questions, he would be exposed.
"That's it!"
Hua rushed over eagerly, affectionately taking Wan Ke's arm, "Sister Wan Ke, it's so good that you're alright."
Wan Ke's eyes welled up with tears as soon as she saw the smudged image. "Liao Liao, I thought..."
Wan Ke wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, which were now red and swollen.
"Sister Wanke, I'm fine."
"How could nothing be wrong? I heard everything after I woke up,"
Touching her bruised face, she said, "Our Liaoliao is so afraid of pain, she must have been in so much pain back then, right?"
With tears welling in her eyes, she smiled and said, "It didn't hurt. Besides, I just took a nap and woke up without suffering any pain."
Hua spoke lightly, but Wan Ke's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Alright, let's not talk about those things anymore. Sister Wanke, how have you been these past few years?"
......
The two talked for a long time, from noon until dusk. When Wan Ke looked at the setting sun, she asked Hua, "Liao Liao, it's already dusk. Is it alright for you to have been out for so long?"
Hua heard Wan Ke's words, looked back at the sky outside, and thought to herself that something was wrong. However, she was reluctant to part with Wan Ke after finally seeing her.
He waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright."
Looking at the smug little girl, Wan Ke tentatively asked, "Are you really okay?"
"Of course, don't worry, Sister Wanke."
"Besides, this is my own business, and Chu Yu has no right to interfere with me."
