Chapter 139: Babe, I’m Going to Rock Your World Tonight
Sang Zhe rushed back to his home right after getting the Dream Jun Sword.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he couldn’t wait to pull out the Dream Jun Sword, treating it like a treasure as he placed it on the table, staring at its exquisite body like a perverted lunatic.
Finally.
After all this time in Sword Flower Palace.
He finally had a moment alone with his target!
For this moment, he spent over half a month acting and dealing with Gu Yingmian, dancing on the edge of a blade.
At long last, his wish was coming true.
The Dream Jun Sword seemed to notice Sang Zhe’s greedy and wicked gaze, trembling slightly in fear.
“Nian Nian.” Sang Zhe called for the system.
“This is the Ksitigarbha Immortal Iron you’ve been yearning for.”
“What should we do next?”
Next to him, Nian Nian materialized in her cute girl form, adjusting her glasses, “Although the Dream Jun Sword is Ksitigarbha Immortal Iron, it has already recognized Gu Yingmian as its master.”
“If you want to complete the collection task for Ksitigarbha Immortal Iron, you need to make it fully give up Gu Yingmian and recognize you as its new master.”
“However, there are two difficulties.”
Sang Zhe blinked curiously.
“First, the Dream Jun Sword is not the same as Si Jingzhu.” Nian Nian explained, “Si Jingzhu is a manifestation of an immortal herb, but she has awakened her intellect and is just like an ordinary human.”
“But the Dream Jun Sword only possesses spirituality; it has not awakened its intelligence and has no self-awareness.”
“So trying to woo it won’t be as simple as using its character flaws like with Si Jingzhu.”
“Secondly, the Dream Jun Sword has been nurtured over many years and has a strong bond with Gu Yingmian.”
“Separating the Dream Jun Sword will be a heavy blow to Gu Yingmian, making it nearly impossible to do it quietly.”
“Thus, the system recommends dealing with Gu Yingmian first before taking action with the Dream Jun Sword.”
Nian Nian’s eyes held a warning: “Otherwise, the host should be prepared to face an angry Grandmaster level cultivator.”
I see.
That’s quite troublesome.
Sang Zhe gazed at the Dream Jun Sword, deep in thought.
The first point is manageable.
Humans are born of humans, and demons are born of demons.
People can be fooled; swords can definitely be fooled too.
It’s just a matter of method.
If all else fails, he could cycle through the sword intent in the system shop, and once it reaches its ecstatic peak, it wouldn’t be able to resist recognizing him as its master.
But what about Gu Yingmian?
From the look in Gu Yingmian’s eyes when she looked at the Dream Jun Sword, Sang Zhe could tell.
Her gaze was even deeper than someone looking at their own daughter!
If he snatched the sword away, that sword maniac would definitely go berserk.
Even if he managed to escape with Nian Nian and the mask mode’s help, the enraged Gu Yingmian wouldn’t let it go.
If she traced his identity in the Demon Path, that would spell disaster for the entire Demon Path!
He had to think of a way to make her willingly hand over the sword… Sang Zhe fell into contemplation.
“System, do you have any useful information about Gu Yingmian?”
“Unfortunately not.”
Nian Nian shrugged her slender legs and said sweetly, “Not everyone is as easy to handle as the characters the host has dealt with before.”
“Gu Yingmian’s background is spotless, and her life has been extremely monotonous; almost all she’s done since childhood is practice swordsmanship.”
“Hundreds of years have passed in the same manner, even to the point of boredom.”
Wow, that’s harsh. Sang Zhe couldn’t help but exclaim.
If someone made him repeat sword practice for hundreds of years, he wouldn’t be able to stand it either.
People reaching the Grandmaster level are all tough cookies.
“Does that mean she has no flaws at all?”
“Actually, yes.” Nian Nian replied, “If you defeat her in swordsmanship, you’ll have a chance at wooing Gu Yingmian.”
Isn’t that common sense?
If I could defeat her, why would she still be the master of Sword Flower Palace? I’d take over!
The sword intent in the cultivation gem is strong, but it’s just a simulation and can’t be used for real combat.
If Gu Yingmian ever wanted to spar seriously, he’d undoubtedly be exposed.
“So you’re saying that your host is so amazing, he could even beat a Grandmaster level swordsman?”
“… ‘Clear Peace Floating Life Sword’.”
“What?”
Sang Zhe turned to look at Nian Nian in confusion.
Nian Nian sighed, gently rubbing her temples, “If Gu Yingmian really wants to spar with the host, you should try using ‘Clear Peace Floating Life Sword’.”
“But didn’t you say ‘Clear Peace Floating Life Sword’ is just a trash sword technique for Foundation Establishment?”
“… You’ll know once you use it.”
Sang Zhe looked at Nian Nian, filled with skepticism.
He felt like Nian Nian was still hiding something regarding ‘Clear Peace Floating Life Sword’.
Nian Nian felt a headache coming on and rubbed her temples.
… Nian Nian, what on earth are you doing?
How could you soften your heart and tell him that?
At this rate, he’d be getting closer to unlocking the full mask mode!
Nian Nian even regretted a little.
Perhaps, if she hadn’t told the host about this, he would have backed off on his own.
He wouldn’t keep pestering Gu Yingmian.
He could just abandon everything and return to his cozy little demon cultivator life.
Nian Nian even wished Sang Zhe would say suspiciously, “Are you hiding something from me? Trying to trick me? I won’t fall for it.”
But—
“Fine.”
“I believe you.” Sang Zhe sighed helplessly and patted Nian Nian on the shoulder.
Nian Nian fell silent for a long time, unable to resist slightly looking away, her long eyelashes quivering.
“You… really believe in me?”
“You’re a bit of a slacker, but in the end, you are my system.”
Sang Zhe let out a deep sigh, “In this world, you’re the only one I can have an honest conversation with. If I don’t trust you, who can I trust?”
“… Do you see me as human? How ridiculous.”
“You can choose not to be. If you don’t want to be human, just let me play the lute for you, alright?”
Nian Nian huffed and turned her head away.
“Let’s put aside Gu Yingmian for now.”
Sang Zhe turned his gaze back to the Dream Jun Sword: “Let’s deal with the immediate matters first.”
“Hehe, little babe~ Didn’t expect you would end up in my hands one day?”
The Dream Jun Sword trembled violently, seemingly filled with terror.
“It’s too late.” Sang Zhe grinned wickedly, holding the Dream Jun Sword in his hands, greedily looking it up and down.
Like he was examining a beautiful woman without a stitch on.
“You’re quite a naughty sword.”
“Although you have a master, you still seem so unsatisfied.”
“What’s wrong? Is your master’s sword intent no longer satisfying you, so you can’t help but come looking for me?”
The Dream Jun Sword trembled even more.
It seemed to curl up in fear.
“Don’t be scared, I’m not a devil.”
Sang Zhe caressed its blade gently, speaking slowly: “Since your generous master gave you to me.”
“You can rest assured.”
“… I’ll take good care of you.” He leaned closer to the Dream Jun Sword, whispering softly.
The sword trembled as if electrified, shaking like never before.
As the Dream Jun Sword experienced this mixture of fear and anticipation.
Sang Zhe wore a wicked grin and pulled out several cultivation gems from the system shop, glancing at it with a lecherous look.
“Babe, tonight I’m definitely going to make you feel ecstatic~”
——
——
After Sang Zhe left with the sword, Gu Yingmian returned to her quarters.
Her life was indeed very monotonous.
Practicing swordsmanship occupied almost eighty percent of her life.
So now that the Dream Jun Sword had been taken away for repairs, she suddenly didn’t know what to do with herself.
Moreover, without the sword she cherished every day by her side, Gu Yingmian felt a vague sense of loss, a hollow feeling in her heart.
Would Young Master Sang really be able to repair the Dream Jun Sword?
Gu Yingmian was actually a bit worried that perhaps her sword intent had been muddled by too much mixed intent recently, causing her sword heart to be clouded, which was why the Dream Jun Sword would not cooperate with her.
But the process of clashing and resonating with different sword intents was, for a sword maniac like her, truly delightful.
She also wanted to take her swordsmanship to the next level.
She wanted the Dream Jun Sword to advance, becoming a true immortal weapon.
But she wasn’t enough yet.
Her swordsmanship was nearly perfect, but she had hit the saturation bottleneck.
The Dream Jun Sword had also been nurtured by her long enough; nurturing it further would yield minimal results.
Without Sang Zhe’s arrival, Gu Yingmian didn’t know how long she would remain stuck at this bottleneck.
It could even last her entire life.
Now that Sang Zhe had brought many fresh sword intents, it surprised Gu Yingmian and gave her a glimmer of hope for improvement.
The Dream Jun Sword must feel the same way.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a wave of tingling sensation.
It was as if someone was softly massaging her heart out of nowhere.
The pressure was just right, creating a comfortable feeling.
Gu Yingmian immediately realized that this sensation was not just hers.
It was the Dream Jun Sword’s feeling.
Due to her connection with the Dream Jun Sword, she could slightly perceive the feelings it was experiencing.
Young Master Sang must have started repairing the Dream Jun Sword!
Although Gu Yingmian didn’t know what special method he was using.
But from her perception.
The Dream Jun Sword was not resisting his repairs.
It even felt a hint of comfort, just like she did.
That gentle feeling of being caressed made Gu Yingmian vaguely sense the fondness the Dream Jun Sword was transmitting.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she quietly savored the sword’s subtle joy.
… Young Master Sang is truly impressive.
Not only is he superb in sword techniques, but he also has exceptional insights.
He even knows how to repair weapons!
It seems the Dream Jun Sword is also enjoying Young Master Sang’s healing and restoration.
With someone as remarkable as Young Master Sang, perhaps he could truly fix the Dream Jun Sword.
Little did she know, at that moment, the Dream Jun Sword had long been infused with countless sword intents, and its entire blade was growing numb amidst the continuous vibrations.
It had given up resistance, allowing Sang Zhe to treat its blade however he pleased.
Even as a sword, it instinctively began to enjoy the vast and powerful sword intents.
Amidst the myriad of stimulating impacts, its consciousness gradually began to blur.
Gu Yingmian… Master…
Master…
