Chapter 1937: Chapter 1980: Golden Little Sword
With suspicion, he took out the only mirror he had and the Heavenly Thunder Stone.
Liu Qingxian pointed at the mirror and said, "Itâs this one."
Jiang Fan was puzzled, this is a Space Mirror, meant only for storing people and Little Qilin, never anything extra.
Wait!
Little Qilin?
He remembered seeing before, the little golden glowing dots in the Little Qilinâs mouth.
Could it be that thing thatâs making Liu Qingxian feel hot?
But, why is she the only one feeling heat?
With doubts in mind, he took out the sleeping Little Qilin, its small mouth still shimmering with golden brilliance.
Jiang Fan grabbed it by the tail, turned it upside down, and gave it a shake.
Little Qilinâs mouth opened, and a thumb-sized golden little sword clattered to the ground.
"Thatâs it!" Liu Qingxian frowned, retreating a step back.
Jiang Fan looked shocked, "Where did the Little Qilin get this small sword from? Iâve never seen it play with this before!"
Frowning and pondering for a moment, he was suddenly startled, "Could this... could this be brought back from the Sumeru Divine Prison?"
Because the Little Qilin rarely left his sight.
The last time was in the Sumeru Divine Prison!
This little guy, where did it bring back such a strange golden little sword from?
Even more bizarre is that neither Jiang Fan nor Yun Shang, True Words, and Gong Caiyi felt anything when facing this sword.
Only Liu Qingxian seemed to be facing a ball of magma at close range.
Her skin was reddened by the heat from a distance, hot steam constantly emanating from her body, and her breathing became rapid.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Fan hurriedly tried to grasp the little sword through the air to seal it.
Unexpectedly, the golden little sword seemed to also sense Liu Qingxian and suddenly shot toward her!
This scene happened so suddenly that Jiang Fan was completely unprepared.
He watched helplessly as the little sword shot right into Liu Qingxianâs forehead!
Ah!
As if magma had entered her body, Liu Qingxian let out a painful and miserable groan.
"Yun Shang! Separate it!" Jiang Fanâs expression changed dramatically, and he quickly said.
Yun Shang decisively initiated her "Reshape" domain, trying to separate the little sword from Liu Qingxianâs body first.
Who knew, her domain entered Liu Qingxianâs body, like mud cows sinking into the sea.
Seeing the domain was ineffective, Jiang Fan decisively drew the Tingxue Sword, intending to freeze it with ice, but as he was about to act, Liu Qingxian said, "No... wait a moment!"
Her expression no longer showed the pain from before, and the small hole pierced by the little sword on her forehead was rapidly healing.
Under Jiang Fanâs incredulous gaze, the look of pain on Liu Qingxianâs face gradually ceased.
In just ten breaths, she was already soaked in sweat, collapsing powerlessly.
Jiang Fan quickly supported her, looked closely, and found that the scar on her forehead had turned into a faintly discernible golden little sword tattoo.
He scanned Liu Qingxianâs body with his soul but saw no injuries.
On the contrary, Liu Qingxianâs soul seemed to have an extra strand of airflow filled with strong pressure.
"Qingxian, sense your soul!" Jiang Fan said with concern.
Liu Qingxian mustered her strength, closed her eyes, and immersed her heart spirit into her soul.
Full two-hours later, Liu Qingxian slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with unbelievable color.
"Husband, have you... ever met the One-armed Sword Saint elder?"
One-armed Sword Saint?
Jiang Fan was taken aback, then asked, "Are you talking about the one-armed old man who taught you in your dreams?"
Liu Qingxian excitedly nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, itâs him!"
Jiang Fan said, "No, I havenât!"
Liu Qingxian said, "No, you must have seen him!"
"This small sword contains a trace of the One-armed Sword Saintâs remnant soul and his Saintâs inheritance!"
Huh?
Saintâs inheritance?
Not to mention Yun Shang and True Words, even Jiang Fan was so shocked that he couldnât speak.
He had heard Gu Xinâer mention that Liu Qingxianâs dream teaching was the Saintâs Path, but he didnât pay too much attention to it.
Never did he expect that it was truly the Saintâs Path!
The one-armed old man she dreamed of was indeed a Saint!
What surprised him even more was, where did Little Qilin get hold of a Saintâs remnant soul and inheritance?
Could it be from the Second Layer of the Sumeru Divine Prison, from the cage they hadnât had time to open?
Thinking of this, he couldnât help but worry.
Heâs already witnessed how terrifying Saints are.
A Saintâs body, dead for who knows how many years, even when just left there, caused a Great Venerate of the Heavenly Human Five Declines to turn to ashes just by touching it.
And its remnant soul, how easily could it be dealt with?
"Qingxian, did this remnant soul say anything?" Jiang Fan asked calmly.
Liu Qingxian nodded, looking gravely at Little Qilin, and said:
"The elder says to be cautious of this Divine Beast."
"Its cause and effect are too great, you may not be able to bear it."
Jiang Fan looked at the sleeping Little Qilin, not feeling too surprised.
The Little Qilin was like a Saint, locked in that unknown existence on the Second Layer, it would indeed be strange if it didnât carry some significant cause and effect.
"And what else?" Jiang Fan asked, "What does he want to do inside you?"
Liu Qingxianâs expression became complex, and she said, "The elder wants to take me back to the Martial Vault to inherit his lifeâs accumulation, and in return, I must do something for him."
Jiang Fan abruptly sat up, sternly saying, "Refuse it! Let him out!"
A Saintâs Remnant Soul, willing to offer his lifeâs accumulation just to fulfill his dying wish, how could it be a small matter?
Nine deaths for one life would be the least!
It might not even be a dead end!
Liu Qingxian was silent for a while, clenching her fist, she said, "I want to go."
What?
Jiang Fan said, "Are you crazy? The other party might not have good intentions!"
Liu Qingxianâs eyes were resolute, as if returning to the proud little peacock she was when in the Green Cloud Sect, she said:
"I know, but I have to try!"
"I donât want to always hide behind you, to be always protected by you!"
"I want to become strong, to be like before in the Green Cloud Sect, to become Senior Sister Liu who protects you, not the Liu Qingxian who has lost herself."
"The current me, I really dislike it!"
Jiang Fan looked at the person before him, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.
It turned out, he never truly understood Liu Qingxianâs heart.
He opened his mouth to persuade her, but was interrupted by True Words.
"Husband, let her go."
"Sheâs like me, both have unfulfilled wishes, if not completed, sheâll feel uneasy even by your side."
Jiang Fanâs heart trembled slightly.
Yet another unexpected farewell.
Looking at Jiang Fanâs desolate face, Liu Qingxianâs gaze softened, she stepped forward to cup his face, and said:
"Remember when you took on the rescue mission alone, to Tai Lake to save me?"
Jiang Fan nodded.
He certainly remembered.
That time, Liu Qingxian and several disciples were patrolling Tai Lake when they were attacked by the Blood Flood Dragon and Sea Charm, their life and death unknown.
Upon finding out, Jiang Fan decisively took on the task to rescue.
He finally saved her in a cracked glacial canyon.
Tears shimmered in Liu Qingxianâs eyes:
"From the moment you saved me, I vowed in my heart, that I would never fail your kindness in this life."
"If you are a mundane man, I will be with you and grow old together on this continent."
"If you are a true dragon in the heavens, I will strive to soar to the nine heavens with you and roam the celestial sphere."
"But, the you now, are the hero of Boundary Mountain, the meritorious figure in the battle against Ancient Giants, the number one Divinity Transformation in Central Earth, the leader of Central Earthâs counterattack against the Heavenly Realm."
"And I, just an ordinary woman, more and more unworthy of you!"
"Husband... let me go."
"I want to become stronger for you!"
"Even if it means dying, Iâm willing!"
No one understood how anxious and repressed she felt watching Jiang Fan soar higher and higher.
"Sword Heart Engraving" was first comprehended by Jiang Fan, and then passed on to Xu Youran, Xu Yining, and Chen Silin.
But, only she perceived her dream teaching.
This surely had something to do with her state of mind.
Among the women around Jiang Fan, none of them craved strength as much as she did.
Now, with an unprecedented opportunity before her, she couldnât give it up.
Jiang Fan stared at Liu Qingxian, internally struggling, both letting go and not letting go were hard choices.
Suddenly, Liu Qingxianâs expression turned blank for a moment, then she became enthused and said:
"Husband, the elder says to bring out the Execution Pen."
