44: Chapter 44 Using Flowers to Offer to Buddha! Senior Sister, This Bone is a Perfect Match for You

The air inside the Sword Tomb cavern seemed to grow even more turbid and heavy because of Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen's despairing roar.

Atop the altar, the former Ancient Sword Emperor was like a pile of mud without a skeleton, slumped beside the empty white jade platform.

His eyes were bloodshot, staring fixedly at the well-dressed Xuantian Sect chief below the altar, who was even holding his female companion's hand; he felt as if the entire world was spinning.

Gu Yi paid no heed to Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen's gaze, which looked as if it wanted to hack him into a thousand pieces.

The addition of three thousand villain points put him in a great mood. He gently squeezed Senior Sister Mu Qingxue's soft palm, then with a flick of his wrist, a piece of bone emitting a faint golden halo and appearing crystal-clear throughout appeared out of thin air in his hand.

It was exactly that taicang profound yin sword bone that Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen had dreamed of and risked half his life to reach.

The moment the sword bone appeared, the surrounding Ancient Sword Qi, which had been raging, seemed to receive some supreme summons and let out low cries of submission one after another.

Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needlepoints.

Like a drowning man seeing a final piece of driftwood, he let out a series of meaningless rasping sounds from his throat, struggling to crawl up from the altar to seize the fortuitous opportunity that should have belonged to him.

That was the taicang profound yin sword bone!

It was the supreme Foundation he had spent his previous life searching throughout the Central Continent for, even slaughtering his way through three top Sects to gather the Materials, and forcibly nurturing it with his Origin Sword Qi before his death.

With it, he could ignore the talent limitations of this dilapidated body and even use it to ascend to the heavens in a single step!

Gu Yi turned a blind eye to Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen's deathbed struggles.

He turned around and naturally held out the taicang profound yin sword bone, which radiated a terrifying Dao of the sword pressure, in front of Senior Sister Mu Qingxue.

"Senior Sister, the Sword Intent contained within this bone leans toward extreme yin and extreme cold, which happens to complement the Extreme Yin Sword Body within you. Such a crude object would be a waste in my hands; just take it as a little trinket to protect yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire cavern fell into a deathly silence.

Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen on the altar froze completely, even forgetting to cough up blood.

Calling the ultimate Legacy of the dignified Ancient Sword Emperor a "crude little trinket"? And even giving it to someone else as a self-defense accessory?!

Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen felt a surge of blood rush straight to his head. His pride from his past life and his resources for returning to the Peak in this life were, in the eyes of this Xuantian Sect chief, only fit to be used as a gift to please a woman!

"You... how dare you!" Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen pointed a trembling finger at Gu Yi, his voice shrill as if it would tear his vocal cords. "That is this Emperor's sword bone! If you dare give it away, even as a ghost, I will never let you go!"

Gu Yi still didn't give Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen so much as a direct look.

He just watched Senior Sister Mu Qingxue quietly, his deep eyes filled with a tenderness and favoritism that belonged only to her.

Senior Sister Mu Qingxue looked down at the sword bone in Gu Yi's palm, which was swirling with a golden halo.

She could clearly feel how her internal Extreme Yin Sword Body leaped with longing upon contacting this kindred taicang profound yin aura. If this sword bone were integrated into her body, her cultivation in the Dao of the sword would surely undergo a complete transformation.

She knew the value of this bone was enough to make the top Sects of the entire Central Continent fight over it until their heads bled.

But what she cared about more was the unfeigned doting in Gu Yi's eyes when he handed over the bone.

Senior Sister Mu Qingxue did not refuse, nor did she engage in hypocritical pleasantries. In her logic of the Dao of the sword, if her Junior Brother gave it, she would take it; if anyone dared to try and steal it in the future, she would draw her sword and slay them.

She reached out her fair hands and solemnly took the taicang profound yin sword bone from Gu Yi's palm.

As the sword bone touched her hand, an icy cold yet extremely pure Dao of the sword Origin surged through her palm and into her Meridians. A stunningly beautiful smile spread across Senior Sister Mu Qingxue's cold features.

She stood slightly on her tiptoes, and while Gu Yi was completely off guard, her exquisite face, which looked as if it were carved from white jade, leaned in.

Her slightly cool red lips, carrying a faint, cold fragrance, lightly pressed a kiss onto the corner of Gu Yi's mouth like a dragonfly skimming the water.

This single kiss was light, yet it weighed over a thousand pounds.

Gu Yi was slightly stunned.

Although he was experienced, facing the sudden intimacy of this Senior Sister, who was always cold and self-contained and almost completely ignorant of romantic affairs, a slight throb of emotion couldn't help but rise in his heart.

He quickly regained his senses, the smile at the corner of his mouth becoming even softer as he reached out to wrap his arm around Senior Sister Mu Qingxue's slender waist, naturally pulling her into his arms and giving her a tender embrace in return.

In the heart of this Ancient Sword Tomb filled with hidden killing intent, below the altar stained with the blood of the previous life's Sword Emperor, the two embraced as if no one else were there.

Atop the altar.

Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen witnessed this scene, which was heart-wrenching to the extreme, with his own eyes.

His own ultimate Legacy was casually given away as a gift by his enemy. And that woman with the Extreme Yin Sword Body and excellent Dao of the sword talent whom he had set his sights on not only accepted his resources with a clear conscience but even took the initiative to offer a kiss, acting all lovey-dovey with his enemy in his own lair.

Three thousand years of planning and the struggles of this life all turned into a complete joke in that single kiss.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Ancient Sword Emperor Xiao Chen erupted in a shrill scream, like a cuckoo crying blood.

He clutched his hair tightly with both hands, his fingers exerting so much force they almost tore his scalp.

[Ding! Detected the Child of Destiny witnessing his own resources being used to flirt with a girl!]

[The Child of Destiny's dignity has been devastatingly trampled, and his psychological defenses have completely collapsed!]

[Reward Settlement: villain points +2000!]
