Chapter 46: Meeting Fat Man Ma Again, Chapter Rules

Yan Xiao used a double entendre, tossing the problem to the system.

His thinking was very simple: since he had been reborn, he might as well live freely and do what he ought to do.

If he said he had no concerns at all and was not afraid at all, that would be a lie.

But the more it was a time like this, the more one had to be calm; this was also a kind of bravery.

At the main entrance, watching the last sliver of sunlight disappear on the horizon, he was waiting for Qingxue to return.

Three figures arrived stepping through the air, landing beside Yan Xiao.

"Brother."

Qingxue stretched out her small hand and called out with a smile.

Yan Xiao immediately took her hand, looked at Feng Wanqing to the side, and said, "Many thanks to the Fairy for bringing Qingxue back. Why not come into the house to sit for a while and have a cup of hot tea?"

"Young Master Yan is too polite. It is I who should thank Qingxue... Farewell."

The tall woman was as indifferent as ever; she bowed slightly to Yan Xiao, turned, stepped onto her Flying Sword, and left.

"Qingxue, what did you all do today?" Yan Xiao held her small hand and walked slowly toward the house.

The Cat Demon followed behind them without saying a word.

"Today the City Lord opened the city gates to arrange for all the refugees to enter the city for shelter, and Wanqing and I worked together to set up the formation at the city gate and reinforce the defense of the city walls."

"You weren't exhausted, were you?"

Yan Xiao asked with concern.

"Am I so frail in Brother's eyes?" Qingxue gave a playful smile.

"Of course, you are Brother's treasure; you mustn't get tired."

Yan Xiao pushed Qingxue to the table and chairs, touched her nose, and said, "You rest for a while, I will serve you food. Today I made your favorite sweet and sour fish."

As soon as the Cat Demon heard "fish," her eyes lit up, and she looked at Yan Xiao expectantly.

"Qingyao, you sit too."

Yan Xiao chuckled and walked out carrying a large basin of fish.

Qingxue truly loved eating fish; her belly was stuffed full, and she wore a look of satisfaction.

Qingyao, meanwhile, watched with envy as Yan Xiao picked the bones for Qingxue, putting the fish meat into her bowl bit by bit.

Even though she did not need to pick bones to eat fish, she still felt it was very heartwarming.

The meal was eaten very happily.

After the meal, Yan Xiao returned to his room and took out the Gathering Spirit Pill; today he was going to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The Cat Demon habitually flew to the roof to look at the scenery in the distance; today she was alone on the roof, appearing slightly lonely.

"Sister Qingyao, I really envy that you can eat with the Young Master and Miss Qingxue."

Luo Ying leaped over to the Cat Demon's side, resting her chin in her hands with an expectant look.

"If there were someone willing to pick fish bones for me, I would like eating fish too," Luo Ying muttered.

The Cat Demon was speechless; so this girl didn't like eating fish because she thought the fish bones were troublesome...

"Sister Qingyao, do you think the Young Master will marry Miss Qingxue?

Can I really become his little wife?"

Cat Demon: "..."

"I feel Miss Qingxue's feelings for the Young Master are very strange."

The little girl talked to herself; she wasn't being cold, she just didn't know what to say, completely unable to keep up with the little girl Luo Ying's train of thought.

In the room.

Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, and a flash of red light passed through them; her pupils turned bright red. At this moment, she could actually see the things before her, having recovered her sight.

"Owner, the Young Master has already become aware, and he feels uneasy."

A voice came from within Qingxue's mind.

"How much longer until the system update? How much longer will your version change take?"

Qingxue asked indifferently.

"The original Magic Sword System cannot be changed; the other systems have finished updating, the task panel has been revised, and the transfer to the Magic Sword System will take another eight hours."

"The Magic Sword System, is it? It doesn't matter. It's just a name; whether it changes or not is of no consequence. With Brother's disposition, he can correctly control it without losing his original intent."

Qingxue said confidently.

"Owner, this forced tampering with the Magic Sword System has caused you much harm; the system has developed countless loopholes. If they are not repaired, you may fall into a deep sleep."

The voice in Qingxue's mind said with concern.

"Once Brother is settled and has control over everything here, I will go and repair the system," Qingxue said faintly.

She used the last glimmer of light in her eyes to look at Yan Xiao in the next room, revealing a gentle smile.

"To be able to watch him like this all the time, how nice."

"Owner, there will be an opportunity," the system prompted.

Let's hope so.

Qingxue slowly closed her eyes and entered a dormant state.

Looking at Yan Xiao.

At this moment, he had entered the critical moment of Foundation Establishment; Spirit Qi gathered in his dantian, flowing slowly and gradually aggregating into a small Golden Core.

The Golden Core was multicolored and flashed with dazzling light until the very last trace of Spirit Qi entered it, and Yan Xiao's Foundation Establishment was successful.

"Owner, congratulations on completing your Foundation Establishment," the system congratulated.

"Is there any reward?"

Yan Xiao opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Not currently, but once the main quest is triggered, you will have it," the system replied.

"I was just teasing you."

Yan Xiao opened the System Mall and began preparing for a new round of draws.

As a result, after clicking the refresh button, the screen displayed that the system was under maintenance and the mall could not be refreshed for the time being...

"System... are you serious?"

Yan Xiao took a deep breath to keep himself from swearing; if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat the system, he would have wanted to have a one-on-one duel with it.

"Owner, the system detects that your anger is rising; getting angry hurts the liver!"

I...

Yan Xiao fell face-first to the ground and drifted off to sleep.

The next day.

After Yan Xiao finished breakfast, Luosang had already returned from Luoxia Mountain; this was the most efficient he had been in 20 years.

"Sect Master, tomorrow is the succession ceremony. I think you should head to Luoxia Mountain with me today to make preparations early."

Luosang said respectfully.

Has it finally arrived?

Yan Xiao nodded, looked at Qingxue, and said slowly, "Qingxue, you and Luosang go to Luoxia Mountain a step ahead; I am going back to Majia Town."

"Mm, okay."

Qingxue nodded without asking too many questions.

Luosang, on the other hand, felt uneasy, fearing that something might go wrong with Yan Xiao.

"Sect Master, why don't I accompany you?" Luosang asked.

"No need. No one in Luoyue City can keep me here; there won't be any danger. You take Qingxue and go ahead; I will definitely arrive on time tomorrow."

Yan Xiao rejected Luosang's proposal; he was going to retrieve the belongings of the Great Elder and the Second Elder, and it was better not to let the Luoxia Mountain side know about this.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, Wang Dazhu had been slow to return, and he vaguely felt that something was amiss, so he would stop by on his way to provide support.

"The Yan Mansion will be managed by Ma Yi and Xiao Cui.

Alright, that is decided."

Yan Xiao flicked his sleeves and strode forward. When he reached the courtyard, he summoned the Magic Sword, threw it into the air, and then leaped onto the Magic Sword.

Stepping on the Flying Sword, he was going to fly using the Sword Control Technique!

"Has the Young Master already reached Foundation Establishment?"

Luo Ying opened her mouth wide, saying in disbelief.

"The Sect Master has spirit pills and medicines to assist him, so his cultivation must be improving very quickly. Plus, with his Metal body secret technique, there really aren't many in Luoyue City who can keep him here."

Luosang nodded and speculated to himself. Thinking this way, he felt much more at ease and dismissed the idea of secretly protecting Yan Xiao.

Ma Cuihua and the others were also envious in their hearts, yearning for the life of an immortal.

"Why isn't the Sect Master flying yet?" Qian Youdao asked in confusion.

The others were also puzzled, looking at Yan Xiao with blank expressions.

"Ahem, um... why isn't the sword moving?"

Yan Xiao coughed dryly, lowered his head, and asked awkwardly.

Everyone was speechless.

"The Sect Master doesn't know the method of sword control?" Luosang said with a strange expression.

Yan Xiao had just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm; he didn't know a damn thing about the Sword Control Technique, and the System Mall was under maintenance, so there was no way to purchase a manual for it.

"Isn't it just controlling the sword with Qi?" Yan Xiao asked.

"Uh... theoretically yes, but you still need a complete set of sword control techniques," Qian Youdao said, sweating.

"Sect Master, this is the Luoxia Mountain Sword Control Technique; please take a look."

Luosang took out a crumpled book and tossed it to Yan Xiao.

"The art of sword control lies in the heart, not in the action; it moves through spiritual connection due to obsession and moves due to the heart... it lies in regulating the breath, holding the origin, and guarding the one, making the person and sword five spirits unite in a cycle, endlessly..."

Yan Xiao followed the mental formula and tried slowly; the Magic Sword also began to move bit by bit.

Finally, Yan Xiao successfully controlled the Magic Sword and charged into the pond in the Yan Mansion garden at high speed!
