- Chapter 143 (1/2)

Do you know about White Devil Sect?

It was as though Ning Fan’s heart had struck a bottle of five flavors. His facial expression became strange.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If he knew beforehand that taking away the sword qi would need to bear the responsibility of a lady’s life, he would absolutely not act rashly. Even if he wished to help Little Dugu, he would surely find other ways.

He was tricked by the Old Devil…

The Old Devil let out an unscrupulous smile while Little Dugu stamped her feet, feeling ashamed and annoyed.

Ning Fan put away his thoughts.

His sight fell upon Little Dugu, and she immediately turned her head angrily. Although she was angry, there was no sign of unwillingness from her.

Ning Fan sighed slightly. It seemed like the lady had some interest in me…

Trouble… However, this trouble was considered impossible to be cast aside. It was because Ning Fan found out that there was an illusory sword qi seal appearing at the back of his hand. At the same time, there was also a seal emerging slowly on Little Dugu’s hand.

A strange sense of connection between their minds rose immediately upon the emergence of the seals. It seemed like there was an invisible string tying the both of them.

“This is…” said Ning Fan while looking at the sword seal on the back of his hand. Then, he looked at the Old Devil as though he was asking for an answer. However, the Old Devil burst into laughter at the next moment.

“This is ‘One Heart Sword Seal’. With this seal, this lady can only be your wife for her entire life… Ning brat, you have earned it!”

The words that came out from the Old Devil’s mouth made Little Dugu even more ashamed and annoyed. All the frustration was vented on the icy snow on the ground.

“Han Yuanji, you are not even a thing! Little Devil Ning, you are not a human, not a human!”

As for the group of arrogant sword cultivators, all of them looked distressed as if their parents had passed away.

It’s over, it’s over… The One Heart Sword Seal has emerged. Even if Little Dugu returned to Sword World, she still wouldn’t be able to marry the grandson of the God Sovereign of the Sword World.

“Alright, Commander Qin, please bring your people to have a rest. I have something to speak to my disciple. Also, I don’t want you all to hear it…”

“En…” sighed the fair and clear young man.

…

The Old Devil had decided to go to the Sword World. There were three reasons for this journey.

Firstly, it was for Ning Fan’s safety. If the Old Devil returned to Sword World, Emperor Moksha might not attack Ning Fan. After all, Emperor Moksha was an arrogant man. He would certainly not descend just to kill Ning Fan.

Secondly, it was because of Little Dugu.

Little Dugu was a soul, which looked like a female ghost. However, she did not turn into a soul by getting killed by others. It was because when she left her world, she left with her soul. Her body was stored in ice back in Sword World.

Her soul was not an ordinary soul. It was a form of soul that could only be condensed by the minority of cultivators in Sword World, a sword soul. With the soul as her body, it was strange that she could demonstrate all her magical power.

However, there was a time limit for the sword soul to leave the body. Normally, it could not be absent from the body for more than a hundred years. Otherwise, there would be a difficulty for the soul to return to its original body.

In fact, it had been a long time since Little Dugu’s sword soul had left Sword World. It was already time for her to return.

Thirdly, it was because of the lady who was stored in the sea of fire.

At the underground sea of fire, below Seven Apricot City. Old Devil, Ning Fan and Little Dugu were standing just outside the sea. Their eyes were fixed on the fire coffin in the centre of the sea.

Within the fire coffin, there was a lady whose appearance looked fairly similar to Little Dugu. She was in a deep slumber.

Ning Fan only dared to look at the lady inside the coffin for a short moment before immediately shifting his gaze away. To him, it was an act of profanity if he continued to look at her any longer.

“She is Xiao Mei. Look at her. Is she alive or dead…?” the Old Devil suddenly asked Ning Fan, carrying a certain meaning.

Ning Fan could guess that the lady was the author of Seven Apricot Notes when the Old Devil specially brought him in the sect. She’s Little Dugu’s sister and also the Old Devil’s lover.

The biggest reason for the Old Devil to accept Ning Fan as his disciple was this lady…

Ning Fan stared at the fire coffin, feeling a little terrified.
