Chapter 6: Bonding Skill

Outside Majia Town.

Several young men and women holding precious swords and dressed in green robes stood on the highest mountain peak.

Three men and two women; the men were handsome, and the women were ethereal.

Their temperament was extraordinary, suggesting they were either wealthy or noble.

Among them, a tall young woman stood with her sword on her back, gazing in the direction of Majia Town.

A light breeze brushed past her hair tips, exposing her flawless face to the setting sun.

She had been attracted by a strange singing voice.

The sound of swords clashing rang out chaotically, the lyrics were monotonous, and the person singing understood nothing of melody, singing in a very frivolous and exaggerated manner.

"Am I a swordsman?"

She had never heard such a strange song, if that could even be called a song.

Yet, that messy melody and the tone-deaf singing seemed to possess a kind of magic, making her emotions restless and unsettled.

"Senior Sister, are you still waiting for that person to... 'sing'...?"

Behind the tall woman, a handsome youth asked, his face full of jealousy.

He spent every day with this peerless beauty and knew her personality well; nothing had ever attracted her like this before.

He did not know why today was different.

Ever since hearing that strange singing on the mountaintop—no, it should be called an incomparably ear-piercing roar.

Senior Sister had actually stopped to watch for a long time.

This made his jealousy flare up.

In the sect, from the Elders down to the sect maids and servants, everyone said he was the only suitable match for the Senior Sister.

Only he could stand side-by-side with her.

For this, he felt proud and immensely arrogant.

However, only he himself knew that Senior Sister had never treated him as a Dao companion.

Sadly, he did not even have the courage to confess.

He seemed to know that his confession could not possibly succeed.

But despite this, he always believed that Senior Sister was his, and he did not allow others to touch her, not even to speak to her.

Senior Sister's personality was already aloof, and with him acting like this, the sect disciples increasingly felt that Senior Sister was high and mighty, beyond reach.

Such a perfect woman, possessing both beauty and wisdom, temperament and elegance, was actually interested in a Body Tempering realm mortal.

Unforgivable!

A crime beyond pardon!

For some reason, he began to feel angry himself.

"I am just curious..." the tall woman said.

She always only said half of what she meant; she felt there was no need to say the other half, and those who understood would naturally understand.

For those who did not, she did not want to explain.

Curious? Curious about what?

The handsome man fell into deep thought.

Such an unpleasant sound, how was it any different from a broken gong?

"If Senior Sister is interested in him, Junior Brother can do it for you and invite him over to satisfy Senior Sister's curiosity?"

The man suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile.

"Interested?"

The tall woman's lips curled upward; yes, it had been a long time since she was interested in anyone, so she might as well go over and take a look.

See how that person managed to sing so loudly with such full confidence.

The two men and one woman standing behind saw Senior Sister reveal a long-lost smile and could not help but exchange glances, secretly surprised.

This made the several genius disciples of Fengxue Silver City all develop a keen interest in someone, and they could not wait to go and see him.

The tall woman did not explain, simply saying the word "Go," her figure like a swallow, her lotus steps moving lightly as she drifted toward Majia Town, stepping on multicolored auspicious clouds.

The few people behind her exchanged glances again, while the Junior Sister stuck out her tongue, playful and cute.

Then, her figure flashed, and she stepped on her Flying Sword, following behind Senior Sister.

In the room.

Qingxue slowly walked out of the room with a faint smile on her face.

Her temperament had changed; compared to before, there was an added touch of mysterious charm.

"Qingxue, you...?" He watched as Qingxue walked to his side skillfully, without the slightest obstacle, as if she could see everything clearly.

"After eating the Spirit Pill you gave me, I can see further; now it's about seven or eight meters," Qingxue said happily, holding Yan Xiao's hand.

Was it because her strength had increased?

Yan Xiao did not understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it and handed the Cat Demon in his hand to the little girl, asking, "Do you want to keep it?"

"Mm."

"I can feel its fear; it is begging me for mercy," Qingxue said softly, stroking the Cat Demon's head.

"Begging for mercy?" Yan Xiao looked at the Cat Demon in confusion; it should have been in a coma, so how was it begging for mercy?

"Look."

The little girl lifted her hand gently, and a gray shadow took shape in her palm, identical to the Cat Demon.

However, the 'Cat Demon' in her hand was transparent, like an image, illusory and unreal.

"I know now!"

Wang Dazhu ran over with an excited look on his face.

After deep and careful consideration, he felt that his Master was just trying to scare him.

Just in case, he decided to curry favor with this future mistress first, so he immediately rushed in front of Qingxue, wanting to put on a good performance.

"What do you know?" Yan Xiao asked impatiently.

"This is the soul of the Cat Demon... Little Mistress, tell me, am I right?" Wang Dazhu chuckled.

"You don't know a damn thing. Qingxue is my younger sister; stop calling her Little Mistress, it sounds terrible."

Yan Xiao kicked him in the butt and scolded him crossly.

The little girl didn't mind; on the contrary, she rather liked the title.

"Dazhu is right, this is the soul of the Cat Demon," the little girl nodded and said.

"..." Yan Xiao's expression instantly turned sour.

"Master, see? I still have some learning," Wang Dazhu chuckled.

"Just don't forget about that treasure," Yan Xiao nodded.

"Won't forget... won't forget," Wang Dazhu nodded repeatedly.

That's more like it.

Only then did Yan Xiao ask the little girl, "Qingxue, how did you get this soul? Does it have any use?"

He was full of anticipation for this skill of the little girl's, hoping it would be a powerful cheat.

"I don't know how it appeared either. After you sang and scared her unconscious, I saw the soul, and with a casual beckon, it came over. I can control its life and death."

The little girl explained; she wasn't very clear about this inexplicable skill either.

"It's mainly because Master's singing voice is too domineering and too beautiful; it sang the Cat Demon's soul right out."

Wang Dazhu seized the opportunity and immediately laid on some flattery.

Yan Xiao nodded, feeling deeply in agreement.

The little girl smiled. She didn't think Wang Dazhu was flattering him; she felt that everything about Yan Xiao was good, his singing included...

With him, it is always a sunny day, bright and clear.

"System, what is going on? Will this have any effect on the little girl?" Yan Xiao asked secretly.

"Owner, this is a bond skill between you and Miss Qingxue. You inadvertently triggered the Magic Sword's hidden skill 【Demon King's Movement】, so Miss Qingxue also unlocked a new skill, 【Dark Night's Protection】."

"Miss Qingxue can control all souls knocked down by the Demon King's Movement, plant a soul brand, and take them for her own use."

"This is a powerful joint skill and will not produce any negative effects. Owner can rest assured and use it."

This is forcibly taking the Cat Demon as a servant; this skill is pretty good.

Yan Xiao thought excitedly; if he could take in a few powerful followers, he could walk sideways through the cultivation world.

The requirements don't need to be too high, just a few land immortals at the Nascent Soul Realm will do.

Yan Xiao had a look of wishful thinking on his face.

"System, what is the highest realm of cultivator or Phantom Demon that I can knock down with this skill?"

Yan Xiao rubbed his hands and asked.

"Owner can currently only knock down cultivators and Phantom Demons at the peak of Body Tempering. The Cat Demon was suppressed by Owner only because it was the first time the skill was triggered, which had a ten-fold bonus effect."

"Currently, Owner's strength is too low. The cooldown for 【Demon King's Movement】 is 10 years. The cooldown countdown is 9 years, 364 days, 23 hours, 05 minutes, and 27 seconds."

Ah!

"I'll be damned..."

Yan Xiao looked at the long cooldown time and felt a headache coming on.
