Chapter 169 On the Self-Cultivation of a Sword Spirit
The boy knew he should have stopped.
—Just as he had thought to himself when he was observing from the sidelines.
How could a mere human being become so engrossed in something?
But while he was secretly sneering, his body somehow seemed to possess its own will.
Thus, this absurd and bizarre situation arose.
The boy simultaneously loathed Yu Qingzhou for being human, despised himself for being irresistibly attracted to her, yet he was also deeply entangled in the relationship, unable to extricate himself...
Indecisiveness is ultimately not a good fit for a teenager's straightforward mind.
So later on, he simply went with the flow, setting aside all his concerns and starting to act entirely according to his instincts.
He savored the body before him with his lips, teeth, and tongue. Every slight tremor and every warm rise and fall aroused the boy to lick and suck even more intensely.
Whether it was a misperception or not, the boy felt the young man pushing him away and heard him call out his name fiercely in a low, weak voice.
【Li...Xiao!】
The weak shout, which had been meant to stop him, actually awakened the rebellious spirit in the boy's heart.
I still remember the day Yu Qingzhou first uttered those two words; he looked so majestic and arrogant.
The boy lay helplessly in a pool of blood, like a dying dog, filled with resentment but powerless to do anything but surrender and await his fate.
And what about Yu Qingzhou?
The young man stood there in clean white clothes, his hair tied up high and perfectly styled, with an indifferent air as he coldly watched his miserable state, unmoved.
Why...
Why can this human being be so nonchalant and aloof?
And on what grounds, when their victory was clearly unfair, did they dare to look at me with the kind of gaze one would give an ant?
Now, in just a few days, the situation has suddenly reversed.
The striking white clothes were now stained with blood and dust, becoming dirty and tattered, losing their original color.
Even Yu Qingzhou herself...
Faced with this scene, the boy almost burst out laughing.
However, Yu Qingzhou's low shout did have an effect.
That kind of bluffing ferocity, besides making people want to expose it, even added a touch of pitifulness and cuteness to that not-so-likable face.
In short, it makes the teenagers feel more connected.
He really wanted to just tell the other person directly, and then see what kind of wonderful expression that hypocritical, sanctimonious face would reveal.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment—
An unexpected change occurred.
Question: What are the consequences of getting carried away with success?
Reality dealt him a devastating blow as an answer.
As the boy tumbled off Yu Qingzhou, bent over, he finally understood what it meant to be in heaven or hell in an instant.
Ultimately, it was the young man's lack of foresight that led him to believe that his opponent, a self-proclaimed righteous cultivator, would be so utterly devoid of martial ethics...
"Qingxiao?"
Coming back to his senses from the painful memories, and hearing that voice so close by, the boy was suddenly filled with mixed emotions.
But then he suddenly froze.
Because Yu Qingzhou was still soaking in the water at this time... which means that the other party had not yet had time to put on clothes.
In other words, the other party is openly naked in front of you.
Realizing this, the boy suddenly felt uneasy.
I was even a little annoyed. What did this mean?! And why did she just throw on a coat? Who was she looking down on?!
After fuming over his thoughts, the young man belatedly realized something else—Yu Qingzhou had called him Qingxiao from beginning to end.
Qingxiao is the name of this sword itself.
Therefore, there is a strong possibility that the other party may not even know of their existence.
—Not all spirit swords have a sword spirit.
Normally, only when a sword exists long enough and absorbs enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth can it, by chance, accumulate the diffused spiritual energy into a spiritual body and transform into a sword spirit.
This is the most natural, and also the rarest, situation.
Another scenario involves using tamed spirit pets or monsters as potential sword spirits, directly establishing a connection with a particular sword.
This method is the simplest and most direct, its advantage lies in its speed, and it doesn't have many strict requirements.
Since the compatibility between the two parties establishing the connection is either high or low, neither the success rate nor the quality can be well guaranteed. Furthermore, the process may be accompanied by uncontrollable losses, such as the injury or even death of spirit pets or monsters, as well as the damage to spirit swords.
Even so, compared to the former method which requires simultaneous favorable timing, location, and human factors, the artificial sword spirit still offers a higher cost-performance ratio.
The boy didn't know which category he belonged to.
It is obvious that he is not a native of this place, let alone born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, the boy also lacks some characteristics of artificial sword spirits. For example, after completing the contract, an artificial sword spirit does not actually enter the sword, but continues its previous state of existence.
Because even the most perfectly matched artificial sword spirit could be rejected by the sword itself—after all, it's an outsider, and it might one day be swallowed up by the sword itself because it's sleeping too soundly.
Furthermore, the boy was already in the spiritual realm inside the Azure Sky Sword from the moment he awoke.
His process of perfecting the Azure Sky Sword was actually a process of exploring the outside world.
This situation will not occur with artificial sword spirits.
Therefore, strictly speaking, it seems biased to classify the teenager into any of the above categories.
so……
Since thinking about it is giving me a headache, I might as well stop thinking about it.
Who knows?
Perhaps he is just that gifted. No wonder he is so unique, even as an extraterrestrial spirit he is so blessed.
However, Yu Qingzhou seemed to be completely unaware of all this.
Although the sword master can control the spirit sword, his specific perception of the spirit sword's interior is like trying to see flowers through the fog, relying entirely on groping and guessing.
Especially for native sword spirits, if they don't speak up, they might be treated like ordinary spirit swords for their entire lives.
Just like Yu Qingzhou at this moment, she also seems unaware of her own existence.
Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Although he didn't know how he became the sword spirit of the Azure Sky Sword, he had already decided to hide himself for the time being.
Firstly, the current situation is conducive to biding one's time and making full preparations for a counterattack in the future.
Secondly, this kind of one-sided observation and surveillance is actually quite interesting.
certainly--
What the boy found interesting wasn't about Yu Qingzhou himself, but rather the feeling of the enemy being in the open while he was in the dark, and the advantage being his.
So strictly speaking, in Yu Qingzhou's eyes now, the Qingxiao Sword is nothing but the Qingxiao Sword.
Facing a cold weapon devoid of sentience, whether or not one is dressed seems to matter less... just kidding!
Where am I? In the middle of nowhere!
Why take off all your clothes and run into the lake when you could have simply used a dust-removing spell?
What if another emergency occurs, and there's no time to get ashore and put on clothes? Is Yu Qingzhou just going to run around naked?!
Hmph, these days, even they demon beasts know to wear two layers of clothing when they transform into human form—it's clear that Yu Qingzhou is a shameless fellow.
The boy made a serious decision in his mind.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the sword spirit within the Azure Sky Sword at this moment is not a spirit with principles like him, then...
Instead, some indiscriminately lustful spirit, with no taste whatsoever, took a liking to Yu Qingzhou, a guy who was completely unsuspecting. The latter would casually undress or take a bath in front of him—wouldn't that be—
The boy simply couldn't think any further. The more he pondered it, the more he felt that it was Yu Qingzhou's greatest fortune to have met him.
Just then, another rushing sound of water came from beside my ears, sounding even clearer and closer than before.
The boy, lost in his own thoughts, was startled by the sound and instinctively looked in that direction.
And then—
I was completely stunned.
Because he had no idea that the sound of water was actually the sound of Yu Qingzhou getting out of the water.
By the time the boy remembered the rule of not looking at indecent things, Yu Qingzhou had already reached the shore and started putting on her clothes, piece by piece…
The boy was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He quickly turned his back, forgetting that he hadn't actually seen the other person visually.
I instinctively wanted to cover my eyes, but before I knew it, something was hot in my nose and dripped onto my fair palm.
The red, warm liquid... is blood.
Upon seeing this, the boy's pupils dilated in shock, and his head seemed to explode.
—He...he...he actually had a nosebleed?!
