After tossing out the Hell King Sword five hundred times, Zhou Xuanji realized the sword will for Ranged Sword Propelling.

By controlling the sword with his heart, his will united with the Hell King Sword and penetrated a mountain with just one shot. The sword shot through the entire forest, meaning it was immensely powerful.

Little Jiang Xue walked to the hole in the mountain wall. She saw the forest on the other side of the mountain through the hole and she gulped.

With such power, if it was tossed at someone, how terrifying would that be?

She turned around to look at Zhou Xuanji as though she was looking at a little monster.

He raised his hand with his palm facing the sky and laughed proudly, “I’m awesome, right?”

Smack!

The Hell King Sword came out from the canopy above and landed in his hand.

His body was straight up, handsome and elegant!

He even twitched his brows at her, waiting for her to praise him.

But she rolled her eyes and said, “You are only a small kid, and you already know how to act cool.”

Small kid…

He felt as though he was struck by lightning and instinctively wanted to retort.

But to think carefully, she was right. He was only nine years old, a small kid indeed.

He felt a little discouraged. It’s taking so long to grow up.

Looking at his sour face, Little Jiang Xue walked to him and comforted him by patting his head, saying, “It’s alright. It’s not bad, you’re so cute. What if you become ugly when you grow up?”

This was what he always used to say to make fun of her, telling her though she looks cute now she’s young, in the future, she might turn ugly.

Zhou Xuanji curled his lip and sighed, “How I want to grow up faster!”

“Why? What do you want to do after you grow up?” Little Jiang Xue asked.

“I will work that out later, after getting a dozen wives and concubines first.” Zhou Xuanji replied.

He was only joking. He did not have much of a desire for women.

When Little Jiang Xue heard him, she pinched his small cheeks and snorted, “So young, yet you are thinking about this bad stuff!”

She had interactions with people other than him, so she knew what wives and concubines were.

But she did not think about it, because she had yet to understand what it meant to be married.

A couple in Green River Village said that to be married is to accompany one another for life, to neither leave nor forsake the other.

A couple, for life.

…

Zhou Xuanji spent a week to get fully familiarized with the Hell King Sword.

When he summoned the Hell King’s soul in the Hell King Sword, his entire body was enveloped with dark smoke. A faint shadow overlapped with his body and that was the Hell King.

After being possessed by the Hell King, his spirit energy, strength, speed, and even sensory power increased significantly.

But it got Little Jiang Xue so scared that she thought he was cursed.

Today, Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue rode Ah Big and Small Er out of the valley.

They prepared to enter into the Southern Snow Kingdom to explore the streets.

Zhou Xuanji was very wealthy, so of course, he would not want to continue living like a savage.

As long as he did not expose his identity, the underlings of the Empress of Great Zhou should not be able to find him on this trip that would only last a few days.

After flying for almost half a day, they were nearing the customs of the Southern Snow Kingdom. Zhou Xuanji stopped Ah Big and Small Er, because it would be too extravagant to bring two dragon eagles into the city.

“Return to the valley straight away so that you won’t get captured. Understand?”

He instructed the dragon eagles. The two creatures were already two stories tall and looked majestic.

Ah Big and Small Er nodded their heads, spread their wings, and left.

Little Jiang Xue held his hands and asked, “Xuanji, when will we go back to take a look at Green River Village?”

The Green River Village was situated outside the boundary of the Southern Snow Kingdom, which was in the wilderness. The quickest way to return was to cut across the Southern Snow Kingdom. To detour around it would waste too much time.

He tilted his head and questioned her, “You miss your grandma?”
