Chapter 1066: Long Feiye refuses Han Yunxi (2/2)

Long Feiye lowered his head to kiss Han Yunxi on the forehead before looking helplessly at Han Yunxi’s cut-riddled hands with an aching heart. On the other hand, Han Yunxi was thrilled. “Long Feiye, since Ganjiang’s already in its sheath, just give me Profound Frost Sword as a gift.”

It was rare for Han Yunxi to ask him for presents, but Long Feiye refused.

“I can’t give you Profound Frost Sword, but give me some time and I’ll gift you the Moye treasure sword.”[3] As Long Feiye finished, he prepared to take Han Yunxi back to the others, but she stopped him.

She didn’t care that the others were waiting, or that the Honored Elders were going to give them an explanation about their dual cultivation and the Phoenix energy. Tugging at Long Feiye, she asked, “If you can’t give it to me, who will you give it to?”

“I’m saving it,” Long Feiye smoothed out his lips to resist grinning.

“Saving it for who?” Han Yunxi asked. It was rare for her to ask for something in the first place, much less be refused. She was certain there was a plot at play. After all, plenty of people wanted Profound Frost Sword, Duanmu Yao amongst them.

Long Feiye smiled wordlessly. Now Han Yunxi was even more certain he was planning to give the sword away to someone else. Other things might merit discussion, but not Profound Frost Sword! Long Feiye had wielded the blade for over a decade. It had been with him longer that she, and both of them had shared the sword during their nightly dual cultivation sessions. Its sentimental value was too great. Han Yunxi would rather give up Moye than Profound Frost Sword.

“Just who are you giving it to?! Are you telling me or not?” Han Yunxi demanded seriously.

Long Feiye finally went to whisper in her ear, “Can we save it for our daughter?”

Han Yunxi was struck speechless before she burst out laughing. After a long time, she finally asked, “Why not to our son?” He was going to be a future emperor someday, yet he asked after their daughter instead of their son? What was Han Yunxi to say?

“A daughter would resemble you, so I like daughters,” Long Feiye said in a rare moment of bluntness.

Han Yunxi looked at him. Unable to avoid the topic any longer, she simply replied, “Your Highness, chenqie will remember.”

If the anxious group below heard what they were talking about now, how would they feel? At last, Long Feiye flew down with Han Yunxi. They were immediately surrounded on all sides, even by Gu Beiyue, whose usual calm was now belied by an expression of joy. What a serendipitous turn of events! Their original plan to seal Ganjiang had ended up subduing the sword instead.

“It must be them! It must be!” Head Honored Elder cried.

“Head Honored Elder, you…” Han Yunxi still didn’t know why Head Honored Elder said it was lucky they’d gone to find the pill furnace. What was going on?

“If Han Yunxi hadn’t awakened the Phoenix energy within her, they would have finished their dual cultivation ages ago. But since it was hidden inside her, it would have caused the dual cultivation to fail all the same.” Head Honored Elder was breathless with excitement as he spoke.

“Cultivating Lustbite energy requires both yin and yang—a stronger power paired with a weak one as master and assistant. If Yunxi is too strong, there are only two options. One is for Feiye to find another dual cultivation partner, while the other is to find weapons that can be dually subdued by the Lustbite and Phoenix energies. These weapons would have to be yin and strong, weak and strong, and assist your dual cultivation to succeed.”

Now everyone understood why Head Honored Elder was so moved.

“Just then, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi used Lustbite and Phoenix energy to subdue Ganjiang, a couple’s sword Moye. As yin and yang, this is exactly what Long Feiye and her are looking for.”

In other words, they had to thank the pill furnace for luring out Han Yunxi’s Phoenix energy. Otherwise, they might still be wondering why their dual cultivation failed! Now they had a way to break through it.

“Feiye, thank goodness you two came,” Head Honored Elder now turned serious. “After the dual cultivation failed, things would have been unsalvageable after a year. Both of you would have entered cultivation deviation and killed each other!”

Both Long Feiye and Han Yunxi grew fearful in hindsight at the possibility. They looked toward Gu Beiyue. Although the choice they made to come here first was ruthless, it was the right choice in the end. While everyone was pondering over the turn of events, Granny You suddenly exclaimed in alarm.

“Gu Qishao!”

1. It’s the MC’s special snowflake powers, duh!

2. Even the translator couldn’t figure out why this wasn’t one of the obvious choices to try when nothing else was working instead of going “ok no hope we better give up now lol.”

3. I can’t remember but I assume LFY and GQS agreed on this beforehand. Otherwise, it sounds like he’s just gonna wrench the thing out of GQS first, no questions asked. :/
