Chapter 170 Excuse
Fresh blood seeped through his fingers, seeping into the soil beneath his feet.
This quickly sparked a new uproar within the Spirit Realm.
Unlike before, there was no mud and stones being thrown at us.
The boy only saw a faint, shimmering light floating in the darkness, which seemed even more dazzling than before.
Furthermore, at the tips of the vines near the central giant tree, the curled buds seemed to greet each other as they all unfurled in unison.
A lush green spreads out in layers.
There was no wind in the darkness, but one could hear the soft rustling of falling leaves.
Seeing this, the boy couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He knew that although these vines looked a bit strange, they were actually the embodiment of the spiritual energy in the Azure Sky Sword, and had an intricate connection with him.
It can be said that they share both prosperity and adversity... such a close and interdependent relationship.
Now that the vines have sprouted more branches and leaves and grown more luxuriantly, the boy should be happy.
But when he thought about this point in time, a subtle sense of unease rose in the boy's heart.
Is this... the time when a proper vine should be growing?
As if sensing his thoughts, the vine closest to the boy suddenly swayed for a moment, then curled up its leaves like a mimosa.
--All right.
As the boy slowly wiped the blood from his nose, he frowned and muttered under his breath, "It really isn't anything serious."
Upon hearing this, the vines, which had been curled up in a ball, suddenly unfurled their leaves and began to swing left and right in mid-air like a swing.
It looks just like a cat's tail that keeps swaying back and forth.
It's just that no cat's tail has those leaves and whiskers, and no cat's tail has that bluish-green color...
However, the color seemed to be exactly the same as the clear eye color of a certain boy present.
Unfortunately, the latter has never been one to play games.
Therefore, he glanced at it twice without understanding why, then looked away and didn't bother to pay any more attention.
A period of time has passed since the boy turned his gaze back to the Spirit Realm.
Normally at this time, the boy should be resting with his eyes closed in the spiritual realm.
Then he suddenly couldn't remember what he originally wanted to do instead of going to sleep.
Oh, right...
It seemed he wanted to talk to Yu Qingzhou about making sure that if she died in the future, the ownership of the Qingxiao Sword would be arranged in advance.
To avoid being entrusted to the wrong person at the time, or being lost in some godforsaken wilderness, which would also harm my current self as a sword spirit.
The boy thought that if that day ever came, even if Yu Qingzhou died and became a ghost, he would never let her go.
Just imagine, when that time actually comes, a greenish-green spirit facing a fleeting ghost, staring at each other, it would probably look quite ridiculous.
The boy let his imagination run wild, only caring about his own enjoyment.
But he never considered how a spirit trapped in a sword would ever be able to find a wisp of a soul adrift in the vast天地 (heaven and earth)...
That future is still on its way.
So, back to the present, the boy's plans were disrupted by the previous little incident.
—To go or not to go?
Suddenly it became a problem.
The boy suddenly realized that if he were to suddenly appear at this moment and tell Yu Qingzhou that he was the spirit of the Azure Sky Sword, would the other party guess that he had just seen something...?
Whatever the thought, it immediately appears before my eyes—
Under the moonlight, amidst the swaying reeds, a figure stands silently in the lake like a water sprite.
For a moment, the image flashed before her eyes as she dressed on the shore, her long, wet hair cascading down to her waist. Glistening droplets of water condensed in the night before rolling down, wetting her thin white undergarment and creating a faint glimpse of flesh at the loosely fastened neckline.
And then...
The boy swallowed hard and immediately stopped.
He couldn't think about it anymore, because he started to feel a tickling sensation in his nasal cavity again, as if he might repeat the same mistake at any moment.
Another thing is the sudden feeling of hunger in the stomach.
Since waking up from the Azure Sky Sword, the boy has not eaten anything.
This is not surprising. Spirits live by absorbing spiritual energy. As long as there is enough spiritual energy, they can go a lifetime without eating.
But the boy was still hungry. Or rather, he was genuinely craving it.
What exactly is it that you're craving? The answer is obvious.
He had to admit that he was lusting after Yu Qingzhou's body, and so lusting that he wished he could devour her immediately.
As for how to eat it...
The boy is still somewhat uncertain. Given that it will take some time before this wish is fulfilled, it is acceptable to consider it later.
However, this also answers the question from earlier.
The boy decided to abandon the idea of being open and honest.
He didn't even intend to inform the other party of his existence.
As a hunter, it's never good to reveal your identity too early, so what the young man needs to do is maintain the same pace as before.
Continue to observe carefully while strengthening yourself, hoping to catch your opponent off guard one day.
Strengthening and expanding oneself is a long-term strategy and cannot be rushed, so it is acceptable to put it aside for the time being.
But observation must be thorough, keeping a close eye on everything, and paying attention to details... In this way, you might discover some key winning formula one day.
Thinking this through, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, because he had finally given himself a reasonable excuse—or rather, a reasonable explanation—to reopen the connection.
