Sword Attendant Su Yingluo

Su Ming admitted that after hearing what the System said, he didn't know what to complain about for a moment.

So the "changing the variables" you mentioned earlier was just turning a boy into a girl, right?

"System, don't tell me that 500,000 destiny points were just used to change someone's gender..."

[Of course not. Just like the modifications made to the Remnant Soul of Taotie when tampering with Chu Fan's destiny earlier, this person has also been tampered with.]

[Now, she is a genuine second protagonist of destiny.]

"Hiss..."

Su Ming really hadn't expected the System to play such a big game.

It just went ahead and tampered with the other party's destiny right from the start.

"By the way, System, since you tampered with her destiny, what was her original fate?"

[In her original fate, she pursued the protagonist of destiny, Lin Zhaodi, to no avail, eventually sacrificing herself for the sword and becoming a specialized weapon to accompany Lin Zhaodi.]

As the bearer of a Peerless Sword Cultivator's Sword Intent, Su Ming could imagine how powerful the specialized weapon formed after sacrificing oneself for the sword would be.

This was clearly the typical ending for a male supporting character in a tragic romance.

Making sacrifices just to pave the way for the female and male leads.

It seemed noble, but in summary, it was just one sentence: a simp never comes to a good end.

"So who's the male lead? That Sword Cultivator we met earlier?" Su Ming still remembered Yuan Tiangang.

[Yes.]

"Forget it, I'll just keep her as a maid. It's better than being a simp and sacrificing yourself for a sword in the future. By the way, System."

Su Ming suddenly realized something. "You directly changed her gender; will there be any issues when she wakes up?"

[Host, please be at ease. This transformation is a fundamental one, meaning the party has been female since birth and is recorded as female in the records of destiny.]

"Alright, I understand."

Since the System had handled everything, Su Ming naturally wouldn't say anything more.

The only problem left to face might be the interference of destiny.

After all, this child's original life trajectory was to be the Young Tower Master of the Blood Sword Tower. How could destiny allow someone to be taken away by Su Ming just like that?

Both Hu Xing and the Sword Pavilion's methods had been stopped by Su Ming, but that didn't mean it had no other means of interference.

The Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts lurking in the Reincarnation Sword Realm unexpectedly blocked Su Ming's path forward.

However, no matter how many of these guys came, they were just delivering themselves to their deaths.

With the two Divine Artifacts, the heaven-reaching pagoda and the heaven-destroying whip, in hand, the Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts released by destiny were nothing more than child's play in Su Ming's eyes.

They weren't there to intercept him at all; they were purely there to provide him with experience points.

Case in point, Su Ming had already harvested four Yao cores from the Samsara Realm.

As for the ones from the Creation Realm, he fed them to Shen Ming like jellybeans.

After all, it was his own war pet; he definitely couldn't mistreat it.

By the time Su Ming returned to Hang City covered in the scent of blood, Shen Ming's cultivation had reached the Peak Star Realm.

This was already the level it had reached before activating the Reincarnation Divine Ability.

After being with Su Ming for only about three months, it had already returned to its Peak.

The legend of molting nine thousand times to become an 'Eternal Dragon Centipede' seemed not to be impossible.

As a reward for Su Ming, Shen Ming spat out a small amount of viscous liquid from its mouthparts.

Su Ming immediately sealed it away upon seeing this.

This was the incredibly precious 'chronal marrow fluid', a core material for refining certain Medicinal Pills that increased Lifespan without side effects.

For those Cultivators whose Lifespans were nearing their end but who searched in vain for a way to Breakthrough, this 'chronal marrow fluid' was their new pursuit.

As long as they could supplement their Lifespan, they would still have the chance to continue striving for higher Realms.

However, this 'chronal marrow fluid' was not easy to obtain.

Only when a Reincarnation Dragon Centipede that had activated the Reincarnation Divine Ability was willing would it produce a little.

If a Cultivator tried to kill it to obtain it directly, it would all be in vain.

Su Ming gently stroked Shen Ming's carapace and brought it back to the small courtyard.

Sensing Su Ming's return, Chen Chuan immediately came before him.

As a result, what greeted Chen Chuan was Su Ming's very obvious hostility.

"Se... Senior..." Chen Chuan suddenly became nervous. "I swear to heaven, I definitely didn't let Miss Zhaodi suffer any harm..."

Looking at this guy's flustered appearance, Su Ming could be certain that he hadn't been affected by destiny.

This was somewhat unexpected for Su Ming.

Along the way, any fellow with even a bit of cultivation had become a tool for destiny to block him.

He had subconsciously shown hostility towards Chen Chuan for this very reason.

"That's good... By the way, go and prepare a few sets of clothes for a child."

Chen Chuan hurriedly replied, "I'll get right on it!"

Having said that, he left the scene as if fleeing for his life.

As he brushed past Su Ming, Chen Chuan also noticed the little girl on the other's back.

"Did Senior Su pick up a child and bring her back?" Chen Chuan didn't speculate too much and instead focused on completing Su Ming's request as quickly as possible.

That hostile posture just now had nearly scared half the life out of him.

As for the scent of blood on Su Ming, Chen Chuan subconsciously assumed it was the blood of Blood Sword Tower members.

Carrying the child into the small room next to Lin Zhaodi's, Su Ming carefully checked her physical condition.

As the future Young Tower Master of the Blood Sword Tower, Su Ming admitted that this little girl was extremely talented, almost an Innate seed for a Sword Cultivator.

Of course, this didn't rule out the fact that she naturally bore that Peerless Sword Cultivator's Sword Intent.

Just then, the little girl who had been unconscious throughout the journey finally slowly woke up.

Noticing the change in her breathing rhythm and confirming she was awake, Su Ming asked, "What is your name?"

"I... don't have a name," she replied bluntly, with no emotional fluctuation in her voice.

"You've grown this big, and your parents never gave you a name?"

"Parents? What are those?" The girl tilted her head, looking at Su Ming.

Even though he was a stranger, she didn't show the reactions a normal child her age should have.

If nothing else, the people from the Blood Sword Tower had likely done something to her.

"System, are you sure a simp who would sacrifice themselves for the sword for the protagonist of destiny would be like this?"

[When changing destiny, variations different from the original will always occur. Host need not be too surprised.]

After hearing the System's answer, Su Ming could almost imagine what this child had been through since she first started remembering things.

"So, no one told you who you are, right?"

"Yes, someone told me that I am a carefully selected sword, and I only need to obey the strong, with no need for further emotions or thoughts."

"Very well. From today on, you are my Sword Attendant."

"Why?"

"Because I am stronger than you, so you must obey me..." Su Ming thought for a moment and added, "From today on, your name is Yingluo, Su Yingluo. Now, repeat your name and identity."

"I understand. My name is Su Yingluo, and I am your Sword Attendant..."
