In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 69 Tai Bai Tian Ji: Have I become the villain in a tragic drama?
The sword that Su Yuan grabbed was a spirit sword that was entirely crimson red, with spiderweb-like blood-red patterns on its blade.

Its name is Crimson Origin Sword, and it is the only spiritual sword among the ten hidden swords of Taibai Tianji that was forged using demonic methods!
According to Tai Baiji, when this sword was forged, the swordsmith slaughtered all the existing Crimson Serpents on Blue Star, drawing their essence and souls into the sword before finally creating it.

From any perspective, this is a demonic sword through and through.

Therefore, the Crimson Origin Sword is extremely lethal, capable of cleaving anything in two, hence it is also known as the Two Crimson Origin Swords... cough cough.

In short, this is a spirit sword that ordinary people absolutely cannot wield.

If any ignorant young punk dares to lay a hand on this sword, he wouldn't be unjustly killed.

However, although Taibai Baiji was somewhat surprised by this situation, he did not panic too much.

With this Golden Core sword cultivator here to suppress it, the Crimson Origin Sword won't do anything to Su Yuan.

At most, they would only make two deep cuts on Su Yuan's body, enough to expose the bone.

Tai Baiji was more angry than anything else. He had reminded Su Yuan many times before to act within his capabilities and warned him that the ten spirit swords were very dangerous.

But the blond-haired boy seemed to have no ears; he didn't listen at all and stubbornly attacked the Crimson Yuan Sword.

Didn't he treat the Crimson Sword like a daughter?
Therefore, Taibai Baiji decided not to stop Su Yuan from doing something foolish, but to let him suffer in silence!

The thought of Su Yuan's fate later made Tai Baiji want to laugh.

This blond-haired kid has completely bewitched his own daughter, and he's been wanting to find a reason to teach the boy a lesson for a long time.

However, what happened the next second left Taibai Baiji staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Then, Su Yuan casually took the unruly Crimson Yuan Sword from the sword rack and held it in his hand.

The blood-red sword, which had never been sheathed, gleamed with a soft light, but showed no intention of attacking Su Yuan!
How... how the hell is this possible?

Taibai Tianji was completely dumbfounded.

The Crimson Origin Sword is extremely ferocious. Even he, a Golden Core sword cultivator, has never been able to completely subdue it and can only suppress it by relying on his powerful cultivation.

One wrong move and you'll suffer the backlash from the Crimson Yuan Sword.

But why did the Crimson Yuan Sword become as docile as a cat in Su Yuan's hands?

This is neither scientific nor does it involve cultivating immortality!

What followed was an even more infuriating scene that made Taibai Baiji's eyes widen in horror.

Then Su Yuan unabashedly placed his hand on the blade of the Crimson Origin Sword, gently stroking it while softly saying:

"So your name is Chi Yuanjian. That's a nice name."

"Speaking of which, we are really destined to meet. My name also happens to contain the character 'Yuan,' so it's like we're family."

Damn it, how did you know the name of the Crimson Yuan Sword? I never said that!

Taibai Baiji's fist hardened again!
"What? Ever since you were created, you've been kept hidden away by a vicious villain, never seeing blood!"

"He's really too wicked. Unlike me, I have to deal with more than a dozen lives every day, and I'm just worried about not having a suitable sword to use!"

Am I a vicious villain? Akagami, is that how you see your old father?
Taibai Baiji was heartbroken!

"So you like being touched here, huh? It feels good here, doesn't it? Watch me tickle you, tickle you, tickle you!"

Watching Su Yuan carelessly touch and grope the Crimson Origin Sword right in front of him, Tai Baiji felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Crimson Origin! You can't let this little blond-haired Su Yuan fool you!
All those sweet words he said were lies. Who knows how he'll treat you after he's won you over? Only my feelings for you are real!

At this moment, Taibai Baiji felt as if he were seeing his obedient daughter, whom he had always controlled and forbidden from eating junk food and playing on her phone, being tricked away by a little blond-haired boy with a cup of milk tea and a barbecue.

I feel both heartbroken and regretful!
Why didn't I educate Chi Yuanjian about the dangers of Huang Mao back then?
Why invite trouble and let Su Yuan into his Hidden Sword Pavilion?
After a deep and friendly exchange with the Crimson Origin Sword in front of Tai Bai Tianji, Su Yuan brought the Crimson Origin Sword to Tai Bai Tianji and said sincerely:

"Master Taibai, to be honest, from the moment I entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion, my heart already belonged to Chiyuan."

"I just had a good talk with Akane, and she likes me quite a bit. Could you entrust Akane to me? I will definitely take good care of Akane in the future and will take care of you in your old age."

Tai Baiji: "..."

"No, I don't agree!"

I can't take it anymore, this old father just can't take it anymore!

He couldn't just stand by and watch his precious daughter be taken away by Su Yuan!

"Apart from my ten spirit swords, you may take whichever one you fancy, except for Chi Yuan and the other nine spirit swords!"

Tai Baiji suppressed his anger and said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan's expectant expression immediately dimmed.

He gazed longingly at the Crimson Yuan Sword:
“Chiyuan, after all, Master Taibai is your collector. If he doesn’t agree, I can only save up enough money to redeem you…”

However, before Su Yuan could finish speaking, the Crimson Yuan Sword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling crimson sword light.

The crimson sword light wasn't aimed at Su Yuan; instead, it shot straight towards Tai Bai Tianji.

The sword light shot out, heading straight for Tai Baiji's brow and Niwan Palace, clearly aiming to kill him.

clang--

Tai Baiji didn't move at all. When the blood-red sword light reached three feet in front of his brow, it seemed to encounter an invisible wall of copper and iron, and shattered directly against it.

Su Yuan quickly pulled the Crimson Yuan Sword aside and scolded:
"Chi Yuan, what are you doing? You can't attack Master Taibai just because he disagrees! I won't like you if you do that."

The crimson light on the Crimson Yuan Sword dimmed instantly, and like a child who had done something wrong, it clung tightly to Su Yuan's side, motionless.

Tai Baiji: "..."

Although Chi Yuan's sword strike hadn't broken through his physical defenses, it had truly pierced his heart.

Sigh, my precious daughter has grown up and no longer listens to her old father. She even talked back to her father for the sake of a little blond kid.

This kind of damage is even greater than being slapped by a Nascent Soul stage behemoth!

Taibai Baiji also had to carefully consider the consequences of his insistence on keeping the Crimson Yuan Sword.

I'm afraid the Crimson Sword will cause chaos, turning the entire Hidden Sword Pavilion upside down and cutting down all the Hidden Swords that are inferior to her.

Just as Taibai Tianji remained silent, Su Yuan couldn't help but earnestly say:
"Master Taibai, you see, Chi Yuan can't live without me anymore. Even if you don't give Chi Yuan to me, could you lend it to me for a while?"

“I’m taking Chi Yuan out to have some fun. I want to show her the scenery she’s never seen before. She really doesn’t want to be locked up in this dark and gloomy Hidden Sword Pavilion.”

Tai Baiji: "...So I'm the villain who breaks up the main couple in this tragic love story?"
