Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Xie Lingyun's face paled, and he immediately stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly: "Cui Juqing, those three swords... I'll take them for him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xie Xiaoyi reached out and grabbed her wrist, gently pulling her to face him.

Eyes facing each other.

The young man's eyes were as deep and dark as an abyss, and once you looked into them, you couldn't look away. Xie Lingyun's eyes trembled, and he was too flustered to look any closer.

Upon seeing this, Murong Wei's heart stirred.

A woman's intuition told her that the relationship between this most beautiful woman in the world and her apprentice was definitely not ordinary.

"Auntie!" Xie Xiaoyi's voice was not loud, but firm and gentle, "It's only three sword strikes, I'll take them."

"Are you insane? Those are the Three Swords of an Earth Immortal! You can't withstand them, you really will die!"

"I won't die. With such a beautiful aunt around, how could I possibly die?"

"Xie Lingyun, you're shameless!" Murong Wei suddenly spoke, interrupting their conversation.

These words were spoken.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Murong Wei.

What's wrong with her?

It's one thing to use the word "shameless" to insult Xie Xiaoyi, that womanizer, but why is she using it to insult Xie Lingyun?

Under everyone's gaze, Murong Wei's face flushed red, and she felt flustered and confused.

She couldn't explain why seeing Xie Xiaoyi and Xie Lingyun so intimate made her feel strangely uneasy.

What's wrong with me?

Murong Wei, completely bewildered, could only weakly try to salvage the situation: "You...you're protecting the womanizer! No, shameless!"

Xie Xiaoyi glared at her, ignored her, and turned to Cui Juqing: "I accept the Three Swords!"

Go ahead and attack. If I can't catch it, my life is yours! If I can, all our grudges will be wiped clean.

Xie Lingyun reached out and grabbed his wrist tightly: "No! Absolutely not! You can't withstand even one strike from his sword."

With a light tap of his toes, Cui Juqing was already flying into the air.

"The feud between Xie Xiaoyi and my Kunlun Heavenly Sword Sect must be settled today! Xie Lingyun, I advise you to let go of your obsession."

Xie Lingyun looked up at the sky and said in a cold voice, "Cui Juqing, I know you are a terrestrial immortal at the Dao Inquiry Realm, and I cannot defeat you."

But if you dare to touch him today, I will surely slaughter your Kunlun Heavenly Sword Sect one day!

"presumptuous!"

Cui Juqing coldly retorted, "I only spared you from harm because of your hard-earned cultivation. Do you really think Kunlun is without anyone?"

Xie Xiaoyi saw it all and knew it better than anyone else.

Cui Juqing, this old sword fanatic, has already reached the Earth Immortal Realm. Looking across the world, there are few who can rival him.

My aunt had already taken several sword blows from him and was seriously injured. If she continued to try to stop him, she would surely die today.

Ugh--

I originally just wanted to be an ordinary, exceptionally handsome womanizer.

Picking flowers, flirting with women, taking advantage of others, living a carefree life, and waiting to die are all ways to live a leisurely existence.

Who would have thought that my previous womanizing was ruined by the Kunlun Heavenly Sword Sect, first Murong Wei, then Yun Qianxun...

What a sin!

I have always been afraid of death and have never been a righteous and noble person.

But then, out of nowhere, someone appeared in this world who would die for me...

Xie Xiaoyi looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

The sky at nineteen was so blue and so bright; perhaps after today, I'll never see it again.

He took a deep breath, looked at Xie Lingyun, and tried to keep his voice steady:

"Auntie, please catch the sword for me first. If you can't catch it, I'll come and help you."

Xie Lingyun was taken aback, and a sudden warmth filled his heart.

In this life, she can finally stand in front of him.

She looked at Xie Xiaoyi, smiled sweetly, and uttered only one word: "Okay."

The moment she nodded, Xie Xiaoyi reached out and hugged her tightly.

Xie Lingyun assumed he was just reluctant to part with him, and his heart softened, so he gently hugged him back.

Xie Xiaoyi buried his face in her shoulder, his voice as soft as the wind: "Auntie, it's so good to have met you in this life!"

Xie Lingyun smiled faintly, about to speak, when he suddenly felt a tightness on his back.

The four major acupoints—the spinal cord's entrance, Qihai, Jianjing, and Weizhong—were instantly sealed off, locking away all the vital energy and meridians.

She froze instantly in Xie Xiaoyi's arms, unable to move an inch.

If an ordinary martial artist were to strike her pressure points when she was off guard, it would have no effect on her at all.

Xie Xiaoyi was already at the Starry Sky Profound Realm, his true energy condensed like silk. Once it entered the acupoint, it sealed the meridians tightly. Even though she was at the Moon Ruins Breaking Dust Realm, she couldn't break through it in a short time.

"Xiao Yi...you, you..."

Xie Xiaoyi picked her up and put her down on a blue stone: "Auntie, it's better if I catch those three swords myself."

You just sit there quietly and watch how I handle Old Monster Cui's three sword strikes. If I can't withstand them, you can forget about me!

Xie Lingyun's eyes instantly turned bloodshot: "Xie Xiaoyi! You bastard! Release my pressure points, or I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Xie Xiaoyi smiled gently, a smile that carried the unique carefree and resolute spirit of a young man, without a trace of fear.

He picked up Xie Lingyun's longsword, then flicked his wrist and tossed his own unremarkable wooden sword into the air.

With a light touch of his toes, he leaped gracefully into the air and landed steadily on the sword.

"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high! Cui Juqing, I've come to take your sword!"

What a magnificent sight! Rising with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles!

Although the disciples of Xikunlun hated him to the bone, they had to admit that this young man was truly full of heroic spirit!

Cui Juqing's gaze fell on Xie Xiaoyi, then swept over Xie Lingyun below, whose acupoints had been sealed and whose eyes were bloodshot.

My heartstrings, which had been dormant for many years, trembled slightly for no apparent reason.

He had lived for decades and had witnessed countless infighting and betrayals within sects.

I never imagined that this unruly flower thief would have the courage to protect people with his life.

Even Xie Lingyun, the aloof and solitary figure from the East Sea, could fall so deeply in love with someone.

The bond between master and disciple was so deep that they entrusted their lives to each other. Even he, the number one sword immortal in the world, was rarely moved by such a thing.

"In that case, take my three sword strikes, this is the first one!"

Having said that, Cui Juqing's pressure as a Daoist Immortal had already spread out, and the entire sky seemed to sink.

He raised his hand and swung his sword, without any fancy moves or unnecessary noise, just a simple, single strike.

The moment the sword was drawn, the air distorted, and a powerful white sword mark shot straight toward Xie Xiaoyi.

Xie Xiaoyi knew that his cultivation level was three realms lower than his, and he couldn't block the sword strike at all, so he simply didn't bother to fight.

He swung his longsword, transforming all his power into sword energy that covered his body, forming a layer of sword armor to withstand the attack.

boom--!

Cui Juqing's sword force struck him with all its might, and Xie Xiaoyi felt as if his internal organs had been struck by lightning, and his soul was trembling.

bang——

The sword armor lasted for less than three breaths before shattering in an instant.

Xie Xiaoyi felt as if a mountain had struck him, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his body flew straight backward.

It flew more than a hundred feet before crashing heavily into the sea, creating towering waves.

"don't want--"

Xie Lingyun cried out in shock, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart.
