8 Snake and Rabbit 7 (2/2)

She once again waved her sword, this time the tear filled with bright light instead of darkness. ”Just one more and I should be through,” she thought to herself, jumping through the tear again. Exiting and it was a world of pure light. She cut again, jumped again, and this time she was in what appeared to be a sword grave.

”It's good that nothing went wrong!” She thought, though she still had to find the sword and then exit without getting lost. This sword grave was only accessible with special methods, and was a place where swords went to die. Many swords pierced the ground, the majority broken or rusty. Only some appeared newer, but their light and shine were fading.

Some special people would come here to ”revive” a sword, but this was very rare. Excluding the female lead, it had been several centuries since someone visited this place. Who would know that this usually inaccessible place could actually be found by cutting a few tears into space through the Li Kingdom Academy's mustard seed dimension?

”Hmm, now to find the sword among all these swords,” Yin Mei said, tilting her head from side to side in thought. The female lead had found it because she had a natural affinity toward the sword, but Yin Mei had rather low affinity toward the ice element. Too bad the information didn't really mention where it was among the other swords, only that it appeared very ordinary and had a cold ice aura emanating from it.

Yin Mei groaned. It can't be that she would need to check every sword with ice aura, right?

She was complaining, but trudged along to do so anyways. In terms of complaining, Yin Mei was without equal, but she still got things done in the end.

She checked each sword with a little bit of cold aura. Those that still looked exceptional, she didn't bother with. She only looked at those broken and rusty swords, or those swords that looked extremely ordinary. She grabbed every single sword like this. Even if the sword resisted, she would directly overpower it and bring it with her anyways. It was only through her Jade Rabbit bloodline that this was possible. For Jade Rabbits, not only could they naturally feel and discover treasures, they were also acknowledged as the king of treasures... Yin Mei wasn't quite sure what that meant, but since she could acquire treasures like this even without them acknowledging her, she just thought it was very useful.

She continued like this for what seemed like days, before she finally came across a sword that she couldn't overpower. She knew that this had to be the sword she was looking for, as the sound of a dragon roaring came out of it, resisting her grasp.

”I finally found it!” She shouted happily. It was only that, how would she be able to take it out? She had found it because it was the one sword that could resist her, but also because of that, she wasn't sure how she could grab it and leave.

She wanted to scream in frustration. ”Why does everything have to be so hard!? Is it so hard for you to cooperate with me? If you come with me, then His Majesty will be happy, I'll be happy, the system will be happy... everyone will be happy! You'll practically be like a hero saving the world, spreading happiness and smiles, is it so hard of a thing to do?” She stomped her foot in anger.

Who knew that talking like that would actually work, and the sword obediently flew over, hovering by her. She snorted. ”It's good that you know the right thing to do.” Although she grumbled like that, she was still both happy and surprised. She didn't think that venting out her anger like that would actually cause the sword to become so cooperative. She grabbed the sword, placing it in her storage bag with the other swords.

As for leaving...

Two weeks later.

Yin Mei finally returned to the manor, looking extremely exhausted. She didn't think that getting out of the sword grave and back here would actually be so hard. She didn't know how long she had been gone, but she had spent a lot of time running around different dimensions, completely lost. She had accidentally entered some people's storage spaces or mustard seed dimensions, and almost died along the way. Storage spaces weren't even supposed to be able to contain living people dammit! Of course, she did use the opportunity to grab all sorts of treasures and riches. After all, she deserved a reward after all that hard work she did right?

She could only be relieved that the assassination even hadn't happened yet. If it did, she would definitely be way too depressed and want to vent her anger out on someone.

”I'm finally home!” Yin Mei was almost moved to tears. The first thing she did was obviously... to go to the chef uncle and leech some cake off of him!

After her stomach was satisfied, she went to the entrance of the demon king's room, only to stop, unsure whether to interrupt him. If he accidentally got injured from being interrupted during cultivation, she wouldn't have enough lives to pay him back! But, it couldn't be that he planned on staying in closed cultivation for several years, right? Yin Mei immediately felt terrified, feeling this was very possible. No way, she still needed to rely on the demon king to kill off the male lead in a few days!

She paced back and forth, an anxious expression on her face.

The demon king: ... What in the world is she doing?
