Chapter 124: The Peak of Anime Male Protagonist Character Settings, Leader of the Righteous Path Under Heaven

The master of the Changhong Sword is the leader of the Seven Swords, and the Changhong Sword is also the one with the most intense color among them; using it to trade for the Mammoth Fruit may not be perfectly suitable, but it is at least better than the other six swords.

Using other swords to trade for the Nika Fruit would be somewhat unsuitable.

If they could truly give all six other swords to Ye Xuan, it would be acceptable, as the power unleashed by merging the Seven Swords far exceeds that of any single sword, with an extra bonus; but unfortunately, they only have three swords.

After trading the most valuable Changhong Sword, they would only have two left.

So, it is better to wait until they have something more suitable to exchange later.

"Or if you want something, like fighter jets, tanks, submarines, and so on, forget it; those don't feel very suitable either."

"Let's wait until something stronger is developed later."

"We have already started researching new ones recently."

As for collecting, it doesn't necessarily mean only collecting treasures from the myriad heavens counts as collecting; collecting these things that under normal circumstances they cannot collect can also be considered collecting, right?

However, the existing ones feel unsuitable; let's wait until new ones are developed later.

"Okay."

Ye Xuan nodded, then hung up the phone; he was actually quite interested in the fighter jets, tanks, submarines, and so on mentioned by Su Su Mengyao, but for the purpose of collecting, he didn't have that much space.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xuan suddenly frowned, his gaze turning toward the outside of the villa.

He sensed a strange aura, very faint yet very special, as if deliberately trying to attract his attention, yet carrying a certain hesitation; the aura flickered in and out, and anyone with even slightly weaker perception would not have detected it.

Is the Hongyun Hongyun Qitian Gu acting again?

It shouldn't be; today has already seen four occurrences, there can't be a fifth one, right?

Ye Xuan pushed the door open with a hint of confusion and walked into the garden; under the moonlight, a creature entirely crimson with two horns on its head stood timidly on the lawn, its four hooves nervously tapping lightly on the ground.

His expression became strange.

This is... the Little Little Qilin? And moreover, the Little Little Qilin from the Hong Mao Hongmao Lan Tu world?

Just now, the Seven Swords of the Hong Mao Hongmao Lan Tu world were discussed on the phone, and now the Little Little Qilin has appeared?

But why did it appear in the garden of his villa?

"Woo"

The Little Little Qilin looked at Ye Xuan and let out a low cry.

It wanted to approach, yet there was some hesitation in its eyes.

It sensed a very close aura from Ye Xuan, like fire, very warm; but the person before it was ultimately a stranger, and it didn't know whether to trust him.

As for why it ran here, it wasn't clear even to itself; it just kept running and somehow inexplicably broke into this place.

It was as if a voice told it that running here was the safest.

Ye Xuan squatted down, looking at it; the Little Little Qilin first instinctively stepped back, then realized Ye Xuan seemed to have no ill intent toward it, thought for a moment, stepped forward again, and tilted its head.

A gentle breeze brushed past; the Little Little Qilin seemed a bit cold and sneezed, spitting out a few sparks of fire.

It seemed startled itself, quickly covering its mouth with its front paws, its pair of wet, big eyes stealing glances at Ye Xuan's reaction.

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a Fire Light Shadow Stone from his spatial ring; the next second, the Little Little Qilin immediately widened its eyes, its tail unconsciously wagging, yet it held back, daring not to approach.

"So you were attracted by this?"

It seems it wasn't the effect of the Hongyun Hongyun Qitian Gu.

After confirming this, Ye Xuan placed the Fire Shadow Stone in his palm and held it out; the Little Little Qilin hesitated repeatedly before finally cautiously approaching and gently touching the stone with its nose.

"Boom!"

A burst of flame suddenly erupted from its body, and the Little Little Qilin's face showed an expression of enjoyment.

Ye Xuan was not surprised by this; he simply reached out and rubbed the Little Little Qilin's head.

The little one first froze, then comfortably closed its eyes, making a "purr-purr" sound.

"You can stay with me for now."

He said lightly, then picked up the Little Little Qilin and returned to the villa.

Early the next morning, Su Su Mengyao called Ye Xuan, asked him to open the door, and then rushed into Ye Xuan's villa in a hurry.

She held an exquisite sandalwood box in her hands, with faint dark circles under her eyes, obviously having not slept all night.

"I brought the Changhong Sword!"

She placed the box on the coffee table, collapsed onto the sofa, and complained.

"That guy Wang Shouguo, upon hearing that you were trading the Mammoth Fruit for the Changhong Sword, immediately sent me to the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau overnight without a second thought."

"I haven't slept at all!"

"But those people at the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau are really something; after researching for so long, they still haven't found a single qualified owner; it's truly speechless."

"Can't they find a young hero in his teens who shoulders the world, is not a saint, decisive in killing, brave and resourceful, resilient in mind, loyal to friends, devoted to lovers, righteous to the world, and recognized by both the black and white sides?"

"Well, indeed, they can't find one."

"This is also the reason why the person who obtained the Changhong Sword sold it to the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau."

Although the standards for the Changhong Sword's recognition may not necessarily use "Hong Mao" as a reference, even if they differ slightly, the difference probably isn't that great.

And such people are obviously rare in reality.

The ceiling of the anime male protagonist's character setting is no joke.

The youth in Jiangcheng who discovered the Changhong Sword and traded it to the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau also knew he could not obtain the Changhong Sword's recognition, so he made a deal with the Jiangcheng Tianshu Bureau.

As the first person in Jiangcheng to trade a treasure from the myriad heavens, Jiangcheng did not treat him poorly; the price was even higher than that of the Devil Fruit, around one hundred and fifty million.

As for whether it was worth it, it depends on the individual; she thought it was fine, and the other party should have been quite satisfied.

The reason the Devil Fruit differs from these treasures from the myriad heavens lies here.

Other treasures from the myriad heavens require recognition to be used and unleash their full power, but the Devil Fruit does not; just eat it, and aside from tasting bad, it has no drawbacks.

Although the Tianshu Bureau speculated that the "Seven Swords" contain the inheritances of sword masters like Hong Mao and Hongmao Lan Tu, who can be sure about such things? What if there is none inside?

Even if there is, finding someone like Hong Mao is extremely difficult.

Humans in reality have selfish motives, but character settings in anime are dispensable.

If you want to find someone in reality who matches Hong Mao from the anime in every aspect, it's not impossible, but the chances are slim.

Anyway, Su Su Mengyao felt it would be very hard to find such a person.

By the time they found one, the person who had consumed the Mammoth Fruit would likely have already developed the Mammoth Fruit to nearly the fourth stage.

"Here."

Ye Xuan handed the Mammoth Fruit to Su Su Mengyao, then asked curiously.

"Should the Mammoth Fruit go to Jiangcheng or the Imperial Capital Tianxu Bureau?"

"Of course, Jiangcheng."

"After all, the Rainbow Sword belongs to them."
