C20 Sword of the Lord

Looking up at the bright afternoon sun in the sky, Ning Yue was lying on the floor, gasping for breath. His right hand was numb, and there was still some pain in his meridians that felt like they were being torn apart.

The cultivation of spirit rank martial arts was indeed as he had thought. It was very difficult.

He was clearly circulating the spirit energy in his body according to the moves described in the scroll, and swinging the sword again, but it did not have any effect at all. The only feeling he had was that his whole body was aching.

This was much more tiring than simply swinging his sword.

"As expected of a spirit rank martial art. Even if it's only at the low level, it still needs a long time to cultivate."

The scroll had already been put back into his robe. Ning Yue turned around and jumped up. His stomach was already filled with hunger. Moreover, the wolf cub was waiting for him in the room to feed him.

He didn't expect to bump into a figure on the way back. He wanted to see this person the most, but he wanted to avoid him the most.

Seeing Ning Yue walking towards him, Yuan Jingsi, who was dressed in casual clothes, smiled. "What's wrong? Where do you plan to go?"

"Find something to eat, and it's time to feed the wolf cub." Ning Yue told him the truth.

Yuan Jingsi's smile grew wider. "Then I won't go back. I have already fed the wolf cub. It is very full."

"Hm?"

Ning Yue was surprised and couldn't believe what he had just seen. The wolf cub was still alert in the City Lord Mansion. Apart from him, he didn't eat anything given by anyone else. What's going on?

Yuan Jingsi smiled and said, "That's why you don't need to go back. Why don't you come with me? I want to go out for a walk. Come with me."

"Okay."

Ning Yue nodded. At the same time, another voice came from afar.

"Miss, I'll go with you."

There, Liu Wei was patrolling the mansion with five or six guards. He told his subordinates a few more times and hurried over, looking at Ning Yue with hostility.

"Liu Wei, you have a mission to complete. It's not convenient for you to escape. Just do your job well." Yuan Jingsi snorted coldly. Clearly, she was a little unhappy.

At this moment, Ning Yue said, "That young lady, can you let me talk to him in private? "Before you go out, since you are not feeling well, you should change into a new dress, right?"

Hearing this, Ning Yue was stunned. Yuan Jingsi did not know what was going on. She followed Ning Yue's gaze and looked down. She was stunned for a moment and then her cheeks suddenly turned red. She saw that on her dress, close to her waist, a bright red color was visible from the inside.

Smack!

Ning Yue received a heavy slap. Yuan Jingsi turned around and walked away. She snorted and said, "Where are you looking? Also, can you not think about it? Stand there and wait for me. Don't leave!"

Ning Yue touched his slightly painful face. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was indeed inconvenient for him to talk about this kind of thing. However, this way, he could be considered to have some time alone with Liu Wei.

"I am just a passerby. I will leave in a few days' time. Why must Commander Liu force me?"

Liu Wei looked at the departing figure and said in a deep voice, "I think it is best for you to leave as soon as possible. This City Lord Mansion should not belong to you. Otherwise, you will regret it."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ning Yue didn't take it to heart. He had heard many similar warnings back in the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, so he didn't take them to heart. He just stood there quietly and waited, looking forward to the development of the matter.

A moment later, Yuan Jingsi changed into a brand new blue dress and slowly walked over. When she saw that Ning Yue was still there, she smiled and said, "Not bad. You are quite obedient."

"So slow." She complained in a low voice. Ning Yue nodded and smiled. "Miss, are you leaving now?"

"Yes. " Also, didn't I say that when no one else is around, just call me by my name? "

"This..."

Ning Yue looked around and saw no one else around. "Then let's go, Miss Yuan Jingsi."

Suddenly, Yuan Jingsi raised her eyebrows and pouted. She snorted and said, "What is this title? Just call me Jingsi. If you dare to be so formal again, do you believe that I will chase you away?"

When she said that, she seemed to have a little regret and quickly shook her head. I did not mean that. I will not chase you away. "

"This is your home, Jingsi. It is reasonable to chase me away."

Ning Yue smiled. He felt much happier.

"You didn't eat, did you? I'll bring you to eat something delicious right now. Hehe, let's experience the characteristics of our Tai Xing City."

Following Yuan Jingsi's footsteps, they turned several streets in the city. They had not officially arrived yet, but the fragrance that spread in the air had already filled the air, causing people to be unable to stop themselves from moving their index fingers when they smelled it.

"It's been a long time since I came back. I miss this place the most! Ning Yue, do you have anything to eat? Pick anything you want. It's my treat."

Fifteen minutes later, Ning Yue's hand was already filled with all kinds of snacks. To be precise, he was carrying different kinds of snacks in different packaging. Yuan Jingsi had eaten all of them on the spot and naturally had his share. Then, he had to pack a few more and bring them back.

Walking in the crowded crowd, Even though Ning Yue was tasting various kinds of snacks, his eyes never left the beautiful figure that was swimming in front of the stalls in front of him.

Just as Yuan Jingsi was approaching a new shop, a bad feeling suddenly appeared in Ning Yue's heart. He subconsciously looked back and found that it was the most ordinary shop. However, there was nothing special about the pedestrians.

"Ning Yue, what's wrong?"

Yuan Jingsi also stopped walking. As she was chewing on snacks, her voice was a little unclear. The corners of her mouth were stained with a lot of sweet juice, making her cherry lips look even more vivid.

"It's nothing. I was squeezed just now and I almost couldn't hold the food properly, so I adjusted it a little." Ning Yue smiled and gave him an excuse.

However, he was still thinking about where he felt that feeling came from.

After that, Yuan Jingsi turned to another street and started her scary shopping. A commercial street swept from the beginning to the end. Accessories, clothes, antiques, and even many weapons were bought and sent back.

Standing at the door of the last shop, she suddenly turned her head and seemed to recall that she had brought someone with her. Then, she raised her finger and pressed it against her cherry lips. She blinked and asked, "That Ning Yue, I bought something. Isn't it a bit too much? "

"That... seems to be okay, right?"

Ning Yue swallowed his saliva and once again lamented the difference between rich and wealthy families.

Of course Yuan Jingsi did not know that Ning Yue calculated it this way. She nodded and smiled. "That's good. Daddy is troublesome. He always advises me to not buy things that I like. He only comes back a few times a year. He can't even let go of it occasionally. " Nice to meet you. I like it. "

You like it? "

Ning Yue was stunned for a moment. His cheeks were slightly red, although he knew what the other party was referring to. It certainly didn't mean that, but it made my heart skip a beat.

He shook his head vigorously. He secretly cursed in his heart what he was thinking.

Fortunately, Yuan Jingsi did not seem to notice this. She walked back a few steps and stood in front of a weapon shop. She looked around and waved her hand. "Ning Yue, come here. If I remember correctly, your sword seems to be very rusty. Do you want to change it?"

"No need. That sword is quite handy." Ning Yue immediately refused. The secret hidden under the rust of the ancient sword was his strongest weapon. How could he change it?

Besides, the weapon shop here might not have any high grade weapons like spiritual weapons. However, it was in the Snow Dragon Empire after all. Presumably, it was not an ordinary weapon. Although he had a lot of money left, it was not much. If he bought one, he was afraid that he would run out of money.

"Mm, this is for you."

Ning Yue was still thinking when a brand new sword with a scabbard was handed to him. The sword hilt and the pattern on the scabbard were exquisitely carved but not complicated. It just happened to have the advantage. He subconsciously took it and weighed it in his hand. The weight was also very suitable.

He stood in front of Ning Yue. Yuan Jingsi stood in front of him and smiled. "It seems that you are quite satisfied. Then take it as a gift for you to come shopping with me without any nonsense. "

"This cannot be..."

Ning Yue pushed the sword back. Yuan Jingsi held the sword with one hand.

"There's nothing that can't be done. I haven't taken back what I gave. " Bring it with you. As long as you're by my side, protect me well. Is that okay? "

Yes, definitely. "

Ning Yue nodded. He put the sheathed sword on his waist. It was not heavy, but it made him feel that it was a bit difficult to walk. His heart seemed to be a little heavy.

Master had once taught him that the sword was not used to kill, but to protect. As for what the goal was, he had to find it himself.

Perhaps now, he was starting to understand.

By the time he returned to the City Lord Mansion, it was already dark.

Today was the end of it. Yuan Jingsi turned back and smiled when they parted, "You must cherish the sword I gave you."

"Of course."

Ning Yue replied seriously. He raised his hand and touched the cold sword hilt hanging on his waist. He had already sworn in his heart.

With the sword, with the person around, Yuan Jingsi would definitely be safe.

After returning to his room, he called out a few times. The bag in his hand contained the sauce and roasted meat he bought in the afternoon. He was prepared to prepare a serving for Little Wolf. However, for some reason, there was no response from him for a long time.

"Strange, even though the little wolf occasionally ran around, there is no reason for it not to come back. Perhaps he went to find food when he was hungry? " Maybe he will come back soon. "

Doubtful of his own guess, he sat cross-legged on the bed. His palms formed a seal and flipped over. The slowly surging spiritual energy flowed through his arms and meridians. The slight pain of holding something for a long time had subsided a little.

Time passed unknowingly. As Ning Yue's clothes fell and stopped moving, he finally opened his eyes and shook his head.

"I'm still a little bit lacking. I can't find the feeling I had back then."

As he muttered to himself, he turned his head and looked. He was shocked. The little bed he had prepared for the little wolf was still nowhere to be seen.

"Just where... did he run off to? Could it be over at Jingsi's side?"

When he pushed open the door and walked out, he realized that it was already late at night. It did not seem good to visit Eldest Miss at this time, right?

However, he still couldn't help but take a step forward, slowly walking forward.

The night was very quiet. It was even so quiet that it was somewhat frightening.

A faint chill was churning in his heart. Ning Yue subconsciously turned his head to look. There was nothing but the swaying shadow of the tree. However, he was even more uncertain in his heart.

That feeling was somewhat similar to the one in the afternoon, but it was even stronger.

It seemed like... something bad was about to happen.

The night was still so quiet.

Under the starry sky, a few figures of different heights stood on the roof. The leader of the group looked down at the brightly lit City Lord Mansion under the night sky and smiled coldly. His scarlet robe fluttered in the wind.

"Red Wolf, begin the hunt!"
