Duan Qiu's master

"Why are you closing your eyes?"

Xue Ren has his eyes closed ever since Eleonora left him. It was his countermeasure to his divinity! If his divinity goes on rampage the moment he sees a beauty, then all he has to do is-

'-not see a beauty! Haha! I am a genius!'

Xue Ren happily nodded to himself, then told Zhi Shendra that he has joined the fraction. As to why and how, he didn't tell at all! Only Duan Qiu could know this...

"Qiu Qiu."

He could see a bit of sadness on her. Xue Ren immediately told her that it was because of his Divinity!

"Divinity?"

"Exactly."

It was a bit strange explaining 'Conquer' but he still did it! Duan Qiu only nodded to him... And just like that, they both were staying quiet, thinking inwardly.

'Conquer didn't appear when I touched Qiu Qiu.'

It didn't appear, but Xue Ren was sure that his Divinity influenced him back then. In the end, he has taken liking to Duan Qiu and now became truly close to her.

Whether Conquer appears or not, it doesn't matter.

"Maybe she is goddess..."

Duan Qiu muttered. As he has told her that Conquer appeared on Di Xun, such thought bloomed in her mind. Her words made Xue Ren tremble!

'Holy shit. It might be true!'

As Xue Ren was thinking, Duan Qiu hugged her knees as she curled into a ball. In her mind, Xue Ren and his divinity appeared. The strong man usually has a lot of beauties, but in Xue Ren case, he especially might have a lot...

'Goddess.'

And for the first time in her life, Duan Qiu thought about becoming goddess! To reach Divine Gates and become Divinity in her specialty...

'Sword Goddess...'

Duan Qiu smiled to herself as she thought about this. Whether she can become Goddess or not, with Xue Ren, she has to aim as high as possible.

"Ren, I will become the strongest swordsman."

Xue Ren turned his eyes to Duan Qiu. Seeing her light smile, he kinda knew what she was thinking about. Her voice was confident and full of resolution. In response, he approached her and pinched her cheeks...

"Qiu Qiu is my no matter whether the strongest or not."

"Mmm..."

Miss Duan nodded as she took out her spirit sword. She has decided to expose her master to Xue Ren. With sword appearance, Xue Ren knew that it's time to learn why was she so stubborn when it came to the sword from simple shop...

"It's my master, the old man!"

"I am here-ja!"

'ja?'

The small old man appeared on the sword hilt. He had long beard and simple white robes. In such form, he was like little figurine. Then, he closed his eyes as he let Duan Qiu explain everything.

"Master has taught me a lot. From the sword movement to the spirit sword! But, master has amnesia, so there is a limit to his knowledge."

"Indeed-ja!"

The old man nodded with closed eyes. He was doing his best to look cool and strong...

'Master, why do you add this -ja?'

Duan Qiu whispered, but it could be heard by everyone... Old man blushed lightly as he shouted!

"Because I am the old man-ja!"

'Stupid girl, it makes me old, isn't it? Old means knowledge, get it?'

""...""

"A-anyway. There is a method to restore my master's memories."

Miss Duan took out the sword she has bought with Xue Ren. It was simple looking sword, but when the old man extended his hand towards it...

Xue Ren could see strange energy appear around the sword. Then, the energy trembled as it moved to the old man! He began absorbing it, and because of that either he or Duan Qiu could move...

Xue Ren who saw Duan Qiu with closed eyes approached her as he stroked her hair. With this, she is going to become even more stronger and it made him happy. Xue Ren could feel that this old man isn't simple and even more, the energy he is absorbing was unique as well...

"Old man, do you know what is this energy?"

Xue Ren asked when the old man finished absorbing. The old man just shook his head as he told him that he has too few memories...

They both didn't know that it was 'Sword Qi' Something that Xue Ren has inside his throne room, to be more precise, third throne.

With his hand still on Duan Qiu head, Xue Ren told her that she should join Seven Slashes fraction...

"I am not swordsman... so it's the best if you go here. Since those fractions fight between themselves, my strong Qiu Qiu is going to learn a lot here."

"Okay."

"And be careful. Since they want this sword, then they also can sense this strange energy."

""Ah... Oh...""

Duan Qiu and The old man voices rang out respectively. They haven't thought much about this and now, the sword that they promised to give tomorrow was completely empty of this special energy...

"Qiu Qiu, you seriously must be careful. If something happens, then tell me immediately..."

"Okay..."

Duan Qiu could only nod to this! Then, she asked about Snow Hope fraction. When Xue Ren told her that his fraction might only consist of him and Eleonora, she pouted! Such sight was too much for Xue Ren as he pounced at her...

"Old man, disappear!"

"Goddamn-ja!"

Xue Ren immediately attacked when the old man disappeared. Going for his favorite dish, he quickly placed his hands on her ass...

"R-ren... do you think they will accept me?"

Duan Qiu asked while he was massaging her. Her breathing was getting rougher with each second... and knowing that her mind is going to be blank soon, she felt like she has to ask her questions right now... Xue Ren who was already planting kisses on her neck responded.

"Of course. How can my Qiu Qiu be weak after all those trainings?"

"Mhmm... you are right... Ahh!"

She moaned as Xue Ren attacked her weak spot, second garden!

"Then... we must learn about royal family... You- Nnnn~~ can't be attacking royalties..."

"I know. We will learn everything tomorrow. Don't we have special guest?"

After all, Cursus Rion is coming here tomorrow!
