Chapter 37: Obtaining a Divine Weapon Again

Youruo, who had originally intended to go to the nunnery to pray, no longer had any heart for burning incense and praying once she saw the lover she had been longing for.

Her going to burn incense and pray was nothing more than to pray that Duan Fengyun could come to see her often; now that Duan Fengyun had arrived, she had no heart for that anymore. Now, she only wanted to spend time alone with Duan Fengyun.

The two of them slipped quietly from the Mountain Gate of the World Association to the market, and Miss Youruo, who had not gone shopping for a long time, began to display her terrifying purchasing power as a woman.

Watching his money pouch constantly shrinking and looking at the items constantly increasing on his body, Duan Fengyun felt depressed and thought to himself: "If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have gone to Zhonghua Lou to pester Jian Chen."

But these thoughts of his could only be thoughts; if he dared to say them out loud, Youruo would probably strangle him.

An hour later, Miss Youruo saw that there was nothing left to buy, so she let off the poor human coat rack, Duan Fengyun.

At this moment, except for his head, Duan Fengyun was covered from head to toe with the things Youruo had bought.

Seeing that the time for her to be out was about up, Youruo had Duan Fengyun take her back.

The two returned to the outside of the World Association, and Youruo had Duan Fengyun hide first, then summoned several servants and had them move all the purchased items back to Huxin Xiaozhu.

After the servants left, Duan Fengyun walked out again.

Only then did Youruo notice that the Fire Scale Sword that Duan Fengyun always carried was actually gone.

She asked: "Where is your Fire Scale Sword? Why is it gone?"

Duan Fengyun opened his luggage and showed Youruo the Fire Scale Sword, which was broken into several pieces in the bag.

Youruo asked in surprise: "Who is so powerful that they could turn the Fire Scale Sword into this?"

Duan Fengyun shook his head and said: "Who else could it be but someone so powerful? It must be your father. Did your father not tell you?"

Youruo asked in confusion: "My father? My father isn't that powerful, is he? He could actually break your Fire Scale Sword?"

Youruo looked at Duan Fengyun with an expression of disbelief.

Duan Fengyun smiled and explained: "A few days ago, your father and the Tianchi Twelve Killers fought a great battle against us four martial brothers at Yu Family Village. At first, your father was no match for the Blade and Sword Peerless of Nie Feng and me, and then your father used your family's Cultivation Method, the Huiyuan Blood Hand, to drain the internal energy of the Tianchi Twelve Killers. To save my life, I activated the Sword Twenty-Three Sword Qi that Jiansheng had left in the Fire Scale Sword to contend with your father; after the Sword Qi was exhausted, the Fire Scale Sword broke along with it."

"What? There is such a thing? No wonder I haven't seen the Tianchi Twelve Killers these past few days, and my father has been staying in the Lianwu Tang. Why won't your father let you all go?"

Youruo said, puzzled.

Before Duan Fengyun could answer, Youruo began to ask again: "Then now that you have lost the Fire Scale Sword, won't your combat power be greatly reduced? What will you do if you run into a strong enemy?"

Hearing this, Duan Fengyun muttered to himself: "A strong enemy? Besides your father, who is currently my strong enemy?"

But he did not want to make things difficult for Youruo between him and her father, so he said: "It's fine. Now that I have practiced the Fist Palm Leg Three Peerless to a decent level, I still have the skills for self-preservation."

Youruo shook her head and said: "I don't believe it. I'll help you think of a way. I've got it! Yun took away one Wushuang Sword before, and there is still one in my father's room now. I will go get it for you in a moment."

Duan Fengyun did not want Youruo to destroy the father-daughter relationship between her and Xiongba for his sake, so he urged Youruo that there was no need to take risks for him.

But how could the headstrong Youruo listen to Duan Fengyun? She told Duan Fengyun to wait here for a moment, and she would be right back.

Youruo carefully went to Xiongba's room, saw that there was no one in the room, picked up the Wushuang Sword, and hurried out.

Before long, she returned to outside the Mountain Gate, took out the Wushuang Sword, handed it to Duan Fengyun, and said:

"Here, although this Wushuang Sword is not as powerful as your Fire Scale Sword, it can still be considered a rare divine weapon. You should take it quickly."

Duan Fengyun looked at Youruo before him, moved; he owed this woman before him more and more.

Youruo looked at the complex-looking Duan Fengyun before her, still a bit unaccustomed to it.

She smiled slightly at Duan Fengyun and said: "Alright, alright, don't look at me like that; I know you are very moved. As a reward for me, you just need to come to the World Association to see me often and take me out shopping. You should leave quickly; if my father goes back later and finds the Wushuang Sword missing, he will definitely start a massive search, and by then, even if you want to leave, you won't be able to."

Duan Fengyun nodded, picked up the Wushuang Sword, blew a kiss to Youruo, and then turned and left.

Youruo watched Duan Fengyun's back as he walked further and further away, took a deep breath, and also turned back.

Meanwhile, inside the World Association, Xiongba was flying into a rage.

Having returned to his room from the Lianwu Tang, he discovered that the Wushuang Sword was actually missing, and he swiftly summoned the guards to the Lianwu Tang.

He asked everyone: "What are you all good for? Someone entered my room and took the Wushuang Sword, and you didn't even know?"

The people below remained silent, and then someone answered with a choked voice: "Reporting to the Sect Leader, this subordinate seems to have seen the Young Mistress enter your room earlier."

Hearing this, Xiongba felt that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered people to go to Huxin Xiaozhu to call Youruo over.

Youruo arrived at the Lianwu Tang, saw everyone kneeling on the ground, and instantly understood that her theft of the sword must have been discovered.

Seeing Youruo arrive, Xiongba did not beat around the bush and said directly to Youruo: "Youruo, some of them said you entered my room and took the Wushuang Sword. Is this true?"

Youruo replied: "Yes, I took the Wushuang Sword. Father, please don't blame them."

Xiongba continued to ask: "What did you take the Wushuang Sword for? Quickly return the Wushuang Sword to your father."

"I cannot return the Wushuang Sword; I gave the Wushuang Sword to Duan Fengyun. He should be far away with the Wushuang Sword by now."

"What? Duan Fengyun came here, and you stole my Wushuang Sword just to give it to him?"

Xiongba stared at Youruo angrily and said.

Youruo replied righteously: "Since you destroyed someone else's Fire Scale Sword, as your daughter, I naturally have to replace it with a peerless divine weapon for them."

Xiongba looked at his daughter who was siding with outsiders, and could not help but feel a headache. Regarding this daughter, he could neither hit her nor scold her, and he did not know what to do.

He thought for a moment and said to the servants beside him: "From today on, watch the Young Mistress well. She is not allowed to step out of Huxin Xiaozhu even one step. If you don't keep an eye on her, you will all go to your deaths."

Xiongba did not heed Youruo's desperate pleas; with a heart like iron and stone, he imprisoned Youruo in Huxin Xiaozhu once again.

Poor Youruo was locked back into that desolate Huxin Xiaozhu.

And the culprit behind all of this knew nothing at all, nor did he know if Youruo's heart-and-soul devotion was worth it.
