No regret

"How do you plan on doing that?"

"I... Have no idea."

Speaking honestly since he had run out of ideas, Jian Shen began thinking if maybe the Heavenly Dragon's soul was what he needed to use every time he wanted to scare her.

Walking aimlessly since he felt that maybe he'd suddenly gain enlightenment, Jian Shen completely lost himself to his thoughts and ignored the people inside the Lee City who were all curious and scared of why the inhuman terrifying pressure reappeared within such a short.

...

"What did you do to her?!"

Frowning a little, Jian Shen looked towards Xifeng who seemed to have a bone to pick with him.

"What are you talking about?"

"That girl who you brought back with you, what did you do to her?!"

"Lower your tone."

Glaring towards Xifeng since he didn't really appreciate how she was talking, Jian Shen shool his head and asked, "What happened?"

Taking a deep breath and sitting opposite to him, Xifeng crossed her arms and looked towards him with apparent anger in her eyes.

"Humph! That poor girl is sitting in a corner inside your room and trembling non-stop as if death is out to get her!"

"And?"

"What and? I want to know what you did to her that caused the poor girl to become so scared."

"It's.... None of your business."

"You.…."

Unable to believe that Jian Shen was speaking to her like this, and at the same time why she herself was seemingly overreacting for a woman she had no relation with, Xifeng turned silent for a while.

"I... I don't know what you did to her, but... I trust you wouldn't do whatever you did for no reason... So... So I won't say anything else... "

Sighing loudly once Xifeng left, Jian Shen was now no longer in a mood to continue cultivating.

Having fused his split souls with the remaining beast spirits inside the Myriad God Sword, which were respectively those of the Ethereal Phoenix, Imperial White Tiger, Scarlet Nine-Tailed Fox, and Jade Rabbit Sword, Jian Shen now had a total of six different beast spirits inside him.

It was too bad that at one point of time a cultivator could only choose to manifest one beast spirit.

If not, due to possessing six beast spirits of creatures that stood at the apex in their own field of speciality, Jian Shen could easily become an overlord in the Dao Realm right now.

Standing up with his thoughts in disarray, Jian Shen focused on his sword cultivation to let his mind turn tranquil.

Inspecting his body, Jian Shen who had already achieved Sword Soul when he fused his Nascent Soul with the two swords began feeling curious about how it would feel to reach the state of Sword Dao.

At the same time, his cultivation in the Myriad Sword God Technique had reached a bottleneck at the peak of Sword Body stage and showed no signs of breaking through into the Sword Heart Realm which allowed him to turn his entire existence into a sword.

"The Realm of Sword Heart can only be reached by chance and not sought after, Jian Shen. So the longer you keep focusing on it, the harder it will be for you to achieve it. That's why you should just go with the flow and wait for the enlightenment to come to you."

"As for Sword Dao, you can only comprehend it once you enter the Dao Realm. This is because the presence of Dao is very thin inside the Divine Realm and therefore makes it impossible for you to comprehend the Dao of Sword."

Nodding his head, Jian Shen seemingly instantly took Qingyu's advice.

"Yu'er, did I make a mistake?"

Not speaking immediately since she knew what it was that Jian Shen was talking about, Qingyu said, "The answer depends on what you want."

"If what you want is to keep her alive, then what you did is correct. But if you want her to be at peace, it's best if you kill her."

"However... "

Speaking before Jian Shen could say anything, Qingyu added, "Regardless of what you choose though, make sure that you never regret it. Not even once! Got it?!"

Ending with a rhetorical question, Qingyu in a way just told Jian Shen to not ask anymore questions and to make up his mind.

And that was indeed what he did. Not wanting to spend many hours overthinking, Jian Shen decided to go with what he wanted and made a decision on the spot.

...

"How long do you plan on just sitting there? Make yourself useful and cook me something to eat."

Barking an order with a cold look that would make anyone on the receiving end feel as if their soul was being frozen, Jian Shen caused Luli who was curled up like a ball in one corner of the room to jump to her feet.

"Yes!"

Running outside the room in fear of angering Jian Shen if she delayed, Luli cake back very quickly with a tray full of various delicacies which she had just cooked.

It seems like the fear she had towards Jian Shen made her work diligently and at the same time push herself beyond her limits.

After all, that was just how delicious the food Luli cooked tasted.

Eating it, Jian Shen couldn't help but think that which such abilities, Luli truly could've made a great wife.

Too ba...

Interrupting that thought, Jian Shen said, "Is this what you call food? Humph! Make sure to cook something tasty the next time!"

"Yes!"

Tensing and shivering visibly, Luli's head bowed deep in fear and stood right there while Jian Shen with a scowl on his face enjoyed the food which was so tasty that he was almost brought to tears.
