Chapter 229 (2/2)

Staring at the Overlord Skyslaying Saber in his hand and sensing the power of flame around him, he cried out inwardly, s.h.i.+t, I fell for it!

After taking a deep breath, he withdrew all his power and raised his head to look at the elegant woman sullenly. He had completely fallen under the control of her melody. If she had wanted to kill him, she could have done it easily.

Xiang Shaoyun hated this feeling of being controlled the most. He increasingly felt that he was too weak.

”Not bad at all. You have actually comprehended saber intent. No wonder you care so little for the dao of zither,” said Hua Cheng with an approving look. She added, ”You even have the millennium earthcore fire on you. I suppose that is the new flame that had appeared at the Flame Mountain not too long ago? Kid, you are blessed with both talent and luck!”

”Since you already know everything about me, just do whatever you want with me,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug. As far as he was concerned, all his secrets had been exposed. The only thing he could do was accept what was coming to him.

The millennium earthcore fire was something that had caught the attention of the Cloud Margin Pavilion. If they decided to take it from him, he would be completely helpless. He even started regretting his act of showing off his zither skills. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have attracted this woman's attention.

With a faint smile on her face, Hua Cheng looked at Xiang Shaoyun and asked calmly, ”What is your name?”

”Xiang Shaoyun,” came the reply.

”Alright. I will address you as Little Brother Shaoyun in the future. You can call me Big Sister Hua Cheng as well. We shall treat each other as brother and sister!” said Hua Cheng sincerely while winking her large eyes.

The mouths of Gong Qinyin and Li Yaxuan were wide agape when they heard that. They stared at Hua Cheng in disbelief, wondering if they were hearing things. An Emperor Realm cultivator was actually telling a Transformation Realm kid to be her little brother? What was going on with the world?

Xiang Shaoyun was naturally happy to oblige as he flashed a happy smile and said, ”Big sister, those are your own words. I have always wanted a beautiful big sister like you. I've never expected that my wish would actually be fulfilled. This is great!”

A crafty smile surfaced on Hua Cheng's face as she said, ”Since you have acknowledged me as your big sister, you will have to listen to me in the future. Otherwise, you will suffer for your disobedience.”

”Oh? But shouldn't an elder sister be pampering her little brother?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”Hmph. I have no intention to pamper you into a spoiled child. In the future, focus on cultivating the saber. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to come ask your big sister. Although I don't cultivate the saber, I still know enough to guide you,” said Hua Cheng, now looking like a regular nagging elder sister.

”Don't worry, big sister. I won't embarra.s.s you,” declared Xiang Shaoyun as he slapped his chest. He then rubbed his hands and said, ”Big sister, after getting such a handsome, heroic, smart, and insanely talented little brother, shouldn't you be giving him a gift? It will be an embarra.s.sment for a person of your stature if you don't, right?”

His words caused Hua Cheng to giggle as she said, ”I am suddenly regretting my decision. You are too narcissistic, little brother. Will you be the ruin of the reputation I have painstakingly built?”

But after saying that, a jade plate appeared in her hand, and she tossed it over to him.

”You can have this star congregation jade. Never ever use it to create trouble in the pavilion. Or else, I won't spare you!” said Hua Cheng. She added, ”I will tell Granny Mei to prepare an estate for you. In the future, you can stay there and focus on your cultivation. I will introduce a remarkable saber master to be your master later. Don't disappoint me, ok?”
