Chapter 36: Thus, The Sword Fairy Initiates Her Revenge Plan

As various events unfolded in the Red Blossom Pavilion, Luo Wusheng was standing still on the main street of the royal city at the moment.

His expression was quite unpleasant.

Just a moment ago, when he opened the window, he saw someone familiar.

It's a figure of a bald-headed carriage driver in rough linen clothes.

That guy was standing on the street and gave him a creepy smile when he saw Luo Wusheng was looking at him from inside the building.

A chill instantly rushed up his spine.

With just a glance, Luo Wusheng could confirm that the guy was really after him.

Was that guy really a person from the Buddhist Sect? Did the Buddhist Sect really have their eyes on him? Did they really want to exterminate him?

Luo Wusheng was panicking.

He quickly said goodbye to Yao Ji in the room and just gave her a brief explanation before chasing out of the window.

But he lost track of the bald-headed carriage driver.

What kind of cultivation level did that guy have?

Standing on the street at the moment, watching the passing pedestrians, and occasionally seeing a few people with thinning hair, Luo Wusheng felt on edge, feeling like danger was lurking around every corner.

Well, he had really developed PTSD toward that bald man.

Luo Wusheng felt an unprecedented sense of urgency in his heart at this moment.

"What should I do if the Buddhist Sect really comes after me?" Luo Wusheng couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the terrifying Sect that had been standing since ancient era.

Suppressing his unease, he felt a sudden vibration from the short sword in his waist, he turned around and took off the wooden sword and looked at the message on it.

[Why haven't you messaged me tonight? How did the result of your Artifact Refining turn out?] It was an online message from the beautiful girl he had in mind, Lu Yuliu.

Feeling relieved, Luo Wusheng forced a smile and began to reply.

...

At the Sword Sect on the Frosty Snow Peak in Sword Province, Lu Yuliu sat in an empty room, holding a short and wide wooden sword, waiting for a response from the other side.

Today, she was in a very good mood. Her master, who had been critically injured and near death due to some side effect of a demonic possession, had just awakened earlier that day, not long after she had exchanged messages with Luo Wusheng.

'But that guy actually learned Artifact Refining techniques— I feel a little uneasy about it. How could someone who never takes anything seriously have such great talent?'

The sword fairy felt a little uneasy. She had struggled for so many years in the Qi Refining stage before making great progress with the Sword Ancestor's wooden sword. Otherwise, she might not have even been able to break through to Foundation Establishment yet.

Thinking of this, she also thought of her master. When she was still in the Qi Refining stage, it was her master who protected her and taught her carefully, never caring that she had dull talent.

Although Lu Yuliu knew that it was because her master had some acquaintance with her deceased mother that she was treated so well.

But the kindness shown by her master was definitely not fake, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the risk and agreed to the demoness' conditions, going to the Demon Sect to make plans to take away the Blood Spirit Jade and save her master.

That's why her master's awakening made her so happy.

She also wanted to share this news with Luo Wusheng.

After all, it was thanks to the Demon Sect's Holy Saint, who loved to collect rare stones from around the world, that they were able to obtain the Blood Spirit Jade.

Touching the Star-Moon Jade pendant hanging from her chest, Lu Yuliu's lips curved slightly.

'That guy is really strange, always asking for my blessings. It's like he thinks my blessings have some kind of special effect.'

Lu Yuliu thought to herself, but felt a slight vibration in her wooden sword.

The reply had arrived.

[Uh, I have a few things to take care of tonight.]

Lu Yuliu blinked as she read the message, suddenly feeling mischievous.

[Are you going to a brothel or something?]

Sending the message, the sword fairy Miss started to laugh to herself.

She didn't think that guy was the type to go to such places, but teasing him like this made her happy.

[How could I? How could a Demon Sect Holy Saint like me go to such a place?]

The response came quickly this time, followed by the next sentence.

[I mean, I didn't want to scare you, but I just created a Middle-Grade Artifact that's almost as good as a High-Grade one!]

Seeing this message, Lu Yuliu was slightly taken aback.

Then she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She may have moments of intermittent stupidity, but she's not a brainless bimbo every day.

Trying to deceive her with such lies?

It's his first time learning how to make an Artifact and he was already able to create a Middle-Grade one? And it's even close to being a High-Grade one?

Does he really think she's never seen the wider world before?

Perhaps because she had been lost in thought for too long, another message came from the other side.

[I know you probably don't believe me, but when you come to the royal city one day, you'll see for yourself. Everyone around the Demon Artifact Pavilion knows about my feat— That's what being a genius at Artifact Refining means. 'Tactical Backflip']

As she looked at the simple stick figure drawing who are doing a backflip that accompanied Luo Wusheng's message, Lu Yuliu couldn't help but laugh.

She had been the first to use this wooden sword to send messages, but why did she feel like this guy was even more skilled than her?

[Okay okay, you're the genius at Artifact Refinement who hasn't appeared in tens of thousands of years.]

Lu Yuliu teased in her message.

But after sending it, she fell into thought again.

Why did she feel like she was starting to talk more and more like this guy? Was it just her imagination?

[You're too kind, I have to thank you for your blessings, Little Yuli.]

Luo Wusheng immediately counterattacked with his sarcasm, causing 10,000 points of real damage toward the world's real protagonist.

Veins popped out on Lu Yuliu's forehead.

This guy was really shameless, even daring to use that nickname to address her.

Unforgivable!

But in an instant, she remembered the malicious plan she had once formulated.

She had felt a bit grateful to this guy for helping her save her master, but now...

Ha.

Her master had just awakened, and her plan should be put on the agenda.

Thinking of this, a mischievous smile appeared on Lu Yuliu's face.

[I'll tell you something, my master just woke up.]

[...Well, that's good news. You should feel relieved now.]

[Yes, and I'll thank you for the Blood Spirit Jade. So I won't hold it against you for using the wrong name just now.]

[Well, in that case, why don't we just use those names from now on? I've always felt that calling you Little Yuli makes our relationship feel much closer]

Lu Yuliu looked at the message and twitched her mouth.

This guy actually dared to push his luck!

[Hmph.]

The sword fairy let out a cold laugh, but after some thought, she continued to message the Demon Sect Holy Saint.

[I won't argue with you today, but if you continue to behave like this in the future...]

[Okay, okay, Little Yuli. No problem, Little Yuli.]

The young girl's grip on her sword tightened visibly.

This guy really wasn't holding back to teasing her at all.

Hmph, she would let him be smug for now, she's looking forward to his expression after her plan is done!

Lu Yuliu's face was twisted in a cold smile, but she continued to message in an indifferent tone.

[So, what about today's story? Shouldn't the story of the past few days come to an end today?]

[Of course, tomorrow I'll tell you a more interesting and thrilling story about the sword fairy. But I have some things to take care of right now, so wait a moment before I message you again.]

A new story? And about the sword fairy again?

To be honest, Lu Yuliu was a little curious about the story that Luo Wusheng mentioned.

'Should I postpone the plan a few more days to hear the new story?'

She hesitated for a moment, but still sent out the message.

[In that case, I'll see you later.]

[See you later, Little Yuli.]

Crack!

The wooden sword was angrily thrown to the ground.

No need to wait! She will start the plan tomorrow!

She must make that annoying man feel what she's feeling right now!
