The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"Since you won't give me face, I won't give him any either!"

Having said that, Chi Miao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and pulled it out.

Suddenly! She flung herself against the wall on the left!

Suddenly! She slammed it against the wall on the right!

She slammed the Weeping Sword to the ground and stomped on it repeatedly.

"So you think you're so great? So you think you're so tough? So you think you're so great because of your sword? So you think you're so great because you've benefited from being an ascended being?!"

"How dare you search my soul! How dare you show me those unlucky things!"

"I'll kill you!"

"Are you going to stick to the contract or not? You're being given too much credit, aren't you!"

Chi Miao cursed as he violently attacked a sword, a sight that left everyone speechless. Ying Wuhuo, after recovering from the shock, quickly stepped forward and hugged Chi Miao.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

Is this something a human being could do?

This is the Weeping Sword, a divine sword! The sword left behind by an ascended being!

He was about half a head taller than Chi Miao. He grabbed Chi Miao, causing her feet to dangle in the air. Chi Miao then used her light-footed movements to spring her leg out of the air, accompanied by a string of curses:

"Don't stop me! I'll beat it to a pulp!"

Subdued...

Everyone nearly fainted when they recalled the question Chi Miao had asked before entering the Sword Tomb.

You can hit me all you want, but you hit the Weeping Sword!

This is suspected to be the key to unlocking the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal's cave, and the key to the method of becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven in the entire cultivation world!

The elders outside the water mirror were all extremely exhausted.

"I'm so tired, mentally exhausted."

"Whoever this disciple follows from now on will have a lot of trouble."

Yan Ge rubbed his temples, unsure whether to laugh or cry: "It's not hard work, it's just a miserable life."

Everyone looked at him.

"Who said anything about you? She can't be wasted on you!"

Yan Ge: "What do you mean? I'm the strongest among us, why can't she be with me?"

He Wanban: "You have a bad temper, and you're likely to lead people astray."

Yan Ge laughed: "Does she still have room to go astray?"

The elders: "..."

Okay, that's true.

He Wanban closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.

"Her talent is too great. If she does good, she will benefit the people. If she does evil... the cultivation world will be plunged into another bloody storm. She must be properly guided."

Yan Ge's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant, but contrary to his usual behavior, he did not explode and remained silent.

He Wanban added, "Furthermore, she may have other talents that haven't been discovered yet. You don't know anything besides fighting, so it's easy for your talents to go to waste."

Yan Ge scoffed, "You mean alchemy and weapon crafting? How could she possibly do that? Heaven can't give her everything good."

After he said that, everyone stared at him.

Even he himself fell silent.

You know what, it's actually quite possible.

After all, these secondary professions place great emphasis on soul power, and Chi Miao's soul power is far stronger than that of ordinary people due to the existence of the Yama Curse.

"However, judging from the situation... it seems the Weeping Sword won't choose her. It appears we were overthinking it."

"That's true."

After being beaten like this, the Sorrowful Sword, which is extremely intelligent, could not possibly form a contract with Chi Miao after being beaten like this.

"If Chi Miao can't find a suitable sword in the Sword Tomb, I can easily forge her a custom-made sword."

Just then, Qinghuan, who had been intently watching the water mirror, covered her mouth and shouted, "Stop talking! Come and see!"

As everyone looked, they saw that inside the sword tomb, the dying Weeping Sword, after being repeatedly ravaged by Chi Miao, had actually begun to react.

Swoosh!

A gust of sword wind swept past, continuously carving words in mid-air.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! If you keep going, it'll break! I surrender!"

Everyone: "?"

This tone...you weren't like this before! You used to be so aloof!

Chi Miao squinted, breaking free from Ying Wuhuo's grasp: "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

The Weeping Sword: "It's not that I didn't want to come sooner, but... when I was searching my soul, I was suddenly attacked by a backlash. After the explosion, my consciousness did dissipate for a while, and I'm only just returning now."

Chi Miao sneered, "Serves you right. You searched my soul, what exactly were you thinking?"

The Weeping Sword: "I can sense that you are different from others. I woke up this time because I sensed your aura. The aura on you... is very familiar."

"Familiar?" Chi Miao was taken aback, then smiled. "You're not going to say I'm the reincarnation of the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal, are you? Didn't he ascend to heaven long ago?"

The Weeping Sword moved erratically.

"No, no, the aura on you is familiar, but you are not Tianbei."

"Then who am I?"

"I don't remember... I'm very weak right now. I need a powerful master to nourish me and slowly bring me back to my prime. My consciousness... could collapse at any moment."

Chi Miao: "You want me to form a contract with you?"

The Weeping Sword: "Yes, didn't you come here for my sake too?"

"Pfft." Chi Miao burst out laughing, looking at the Weeping Sword with disdain: "Puxin Sword, really something."

The Weeping Sword: "Wasn't it all for me?!"

Chi Miao: "I only came to you because I had no other swords to choose from, okay? Get that straight."

It means it was the one that was left over!

If the Weeping Sword had a human form, it would have been so hurt by those words that it would have collapsed instantly.

Listen to this! What kind of talk is this?

It's the sword of the ascended beings, countless people kneel and beg for it but it never gives them any face, yet today you despise it like this!

Oh, wait, that's not right.

"It was my sword that rang out once, telling them that you are mine, and they dared not choose you."

Chi Miao gritted her teeth: "I knew it! It's because of you that I lost so much face, missed a chance to show off, and then you even searched my soul!"

Chi Miao was so angry that he was about to smash his sword again.

The Weeping Sword cried out, "No, no, no! Stop fighting! I was wrong, I was really wrong! If you form a contract with me, you can act cool whenever you want, and be stylish whenever you want. With a single sword strike, all swords will obey my command!"

Chi Miao squinted her eyes; to be honest, she was very tempted.

As the saying goes, being awesome isn't about showing off; otherwise, all the awesomeness is meaningless.

She said, "The conditions you've offered are very tempting, but I've already been hurt once before. If you want me to form a contract with you, that's fine too."

The Weeping Sword visibly brightened a bit.

Chi Miao: "Beg me, beg me! If you beg me, I'll make a contract with you."

The Weeping Sword: "?"

Ying Wuhuo: "?"

The bigwigs: "?"

The line was neat, but everyone was completely bewildered.

Are you out of your mind?!

This is the Weeping Sword!

What's wrong with being lenient? This is a divine sword that even Ying Wuhuo doesn't deserve!

Ying Wuhuo felt very offended, and also felt that Chi Miao was really despicable!

He is disliked, and you dislike him.

Okay, okay, he's the most embarrassing one now.

He looked at the Weeping Sword.

You're the divine sword that can arrogantly call him unworthy, you won't give in so easily, right? You have backbone, don't you?

That is, at this time.

The Weeping Sword moved and immediately began carving words on the stone wall beside it.

The crowd peered out discreetly.

As they watched the Weeping Sword carve out each and every word, everyone's faces turned ashen, as if they had eaten shit.

—Master, Jianjian made a mistake, please adopt him.

Ying Wuhuo's face darkened: "..."

Hold.

It's clearly the Weeping Sword that's disgraced, so why is it he who wants to die!
