I am a female swordsman.

Sword Sect!

The ordinary office worker has another identity: the revolutionary leader of the Sword Sect, Midis, who has fought countless battles and clashed with the Imperial Sword Saint Barn!

Chapter Fifty Misunderstanding

"Aunt Mitis, your actions are making me a little sad."

Looking at Midis, who was in a hostile stance, Huang Quan's tone held a deep sense of doubt and sigh. The so-called aunt and niece relationship was, in fact, a facade they both knew was easily discarded if threatened.

"Huang Quan, what's wrong with you?"

A flicker of sadness crossed Mitis's face, but it quickly hardened.

The sense of danger was like that of a ferocious, inhuman beast awakening. Its very existence was malevolent. During his adventures on the Arad continent, Midis had encountered ancient, mysterious beings similar to the current Yellow Springs, whom he called familiars or worshippers!

Even if it's an ordinary person.

If one is corrupted by the so-called God, one may appear normal on the outside but undergo a complete internal transformation, which is often malignant.

"I've become stronger, that's all." Huang Quan realized something and, multitasking, checked the system, receiving a clear answer. It was all a misunderstanding. Frequent contact with beings approaching the forbidden level had inevitably tainted Huang Quan's aura with extremely dangerous signals.

I'm already used to it, so I don't have any problems.

The main issue is that those who haven't encountered her before will instinctively feel a desire to avoid harm and seek advantage. To put it bluntly, as Huang Quan grows stronger, she can no longer maintain perfect restraint at all times, naturally intimidating those around her and easily causing misunderstandings…

This is all a misunderstanding!

"Are you really alright?" Midis asked, still somewhat uneasy. Generally speaking, people who are considered crazy will say they are not crazy, and people who seem normal are just not obviously crazy.

Huang Quan didn't say anything, and simply tossed the jewelry box to Midis.

This action directly demonstrated that Huang Quan was indeed harmless at the moment, returning the bracelet to Mitis and allowing her to smoothly obtain the source of power. Huang Quan didn't think the bracelet could pose much of a restriction to Mitis, who had already reached the [Sword Master] level. Given Mitis's misunderstanding of him, there was no need to make the situation worse.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, Huang Quan believed that Midis wasn't the kind of ruthless villain; she was kind and valued relationships.

Taking the jewelry box, Midis was visibly relieved. Huang Quan then confirmed that Alizee and Ophelia had indeed fallen asleep peacefully in their room, exhausted from playing. This seemed to be related to Huang Quan's unconscious desires; both Alizee and Ophelia showed signs of similar mental suggestion.

"We need to have a serious talk."

After Midis, who had returned to her work form, finished investigating the situation inside and outside the house, she suppressed the urge to retaliate that she felt was dangerous and spoke to her expressionless niece with utmost seriousness.

Mitis wants to call a family meeting!

………………

That night, under a sky full of stars, the city, which was gradually falling silent, was like a giant beast slowly coming to a stop, with every gear taking a brief rest.

Arad Apartments, [Sword Master] Room.

The lights, which should have been extinguished, were now shining brightly. Before Midis, who sat solemnly in the hall, were two boxes, one large and one small. The smaller box was naturally the jewelry box containing the power-transferring bracelet, while the larger box was square and tightly sealed, blocking all senses from entering.

“Huang Quan, I’ve never asked you any questions before.” This wasn’t just out of close trust stemming from the same origin, but also out of compassion for being able to come into this world. Midis looked at the ever-serene Huang Quan and couldn’t help but sigh softly; she was just like her younger self.

"You, like us, come from another world, don't you?"

Midis gazed at Huang Quan with a complex expression. The existence of time travelers and the world beyond was hardly a secret on the continent of Arad. Arad frequently received visitors from the celestial realm, the demon realm, and even worlds beyond time and space. These guests, carrying knowledge from other worlds, contributed to various fields of Arad, including technology, military, culture, politics, and the economy, regardless of whether their contributions were voluntary…

"Yes, but I come from a different world than you."

Huang Quan corrected the minor flaw in Midis's words, clarifying that she did not come from the Arad continent, but from a more distant and mysterious world.

"I'll be leaving soon."

"..."

Midis's expression changed slightly. She looked at Huang Quan as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. All good things must come to an end. Even fledglings, after growing up under the sheltering wings of their parents, must eventually soar freely in the blue sky. Midis had long anticipated this day, but she hadn't expected it to come so soon.

We lived together for about a month, and looking back now, it really went by quickly.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me during this time. I've had a wonderful time." The wandering transmigrator had found a city in another world that most resembled his hometown, and found people who considered him family. Huang Quan wasn't a heartless stone, and he sincerely thanked Mitis.

Especially now that the countdown to parting has begun.

"Alright, alright, I knew your identity from the very beginning... But, how should I put it..." Midis couldn't help but reach out and pat Huang Quan's head, her face revealing deep affection. "I feel like you're my real family, my real niece."

Huang Quan unconsciously rubbed his head against Midis's palm.

"You must come back and visit sometime if you have the chance." Although the chance was very slim, Midis knew that the life of a time traveler was as fleeting as the wind.

The wind blew by so quickly. A short life that vanishes so quickly is practically a curse. Fortunately, Xiao Huangquan wasn't defeated or corrupted by this curse; instead, she lives on with extraordinary resilience. Just seeing Xiao Huangquan fills me with renewed energy!

"Will do."

Huang Quan answered softly; she loved this warm and welcoming world. If she had to choose a world to settle down in after retiring or once everything had settled down, Huang Quan would definitely choose this one.

“I originally planned to give this to you before you left… but now that I’m giving it to you, it seems about the same.” Liao patted another square box. She had prepared the gift long ago, but due to this series of unexpected events, she had to give it to her niece ahead of time.

He took the large box, the Yellow Springs Box, and a golden light radiated out from the seam of the box!

"It contains fragments of an epic weapon. Since I don't have much money, the gift I prepared isn't very high-end, so please don't mind it, haha." Midis scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly, wishing that these fragments of a powerful weapon would always be by her side in the afterlife, helping her overcome countless difficulties!

Chapter 51 Epic Fragments

I knew the moment of parting would come, and I prepared a gift for it.

Mitis's slightly embarrassed expression reminded Huang Quan of the first time Mitis introduced Epic Glitter to her. Perhaps from that moment on, Mitis, whose living conditions were not very good, was already thinking about what kind of farewell gift she would give her niece if she were to leave in the future...

"Open it quickly!"

The lizard was very excited and wanted to see Huang Quan's expression when he saw the gift.

Unfortunately, whether moved or surprised, Huang Quan skillfully concealed his emotions beneath a calm expression, showing no sign of anything amiss.

This is the disadvantage of facial paralysis.

Regardless of your true inner thoughts, if you never express your emotions, it's hard for those who don't understand you to feel close to you. If it weren't for the natural affinity between Midis and Huang Quan, and Midis's knowledge of Huang Quan's personality, they might have had some awkwardness due to their individual differences.

"Thank you."

A golden fragment, of indistinguishable material, lay quietly in the box, somewhat as if it had broken off from a blade. Seeing this so-called epic fragment for the first time, and although it didn't seem particularly extraordinary, Huang Quan solemnly prepared to close the box and keep it as a treasure.

"Wait...!" Seeing that Huang Quan was about to close the box, Midis rolled her eyes and quickly stopped her. "Wait a minute, little Huang Quan. Although you know a lot, you're obviously a newbie when it comes to epic fragments. How can you waste such a precious thing?"

Wasting resources?

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan subconsciously glanced at the box in his hand. Was this box what they meant by "wasting a precious resource"? If it referred to the epic fragment, what use could such a small fragment possibly have? Could it possibly transform into a weapon? If so, Huang Quan's interest was piqued.

As his skill level continued to rise, the single-edged, slender sword he brought from the ghoul world began to pale in comparison.

Sometimes even Huang Quan was afraid that he might wield his sword with too much force and destroy it.

Seeing that his niece didn't know what was good for her, Liao deliberately coughed twice to clear his throat and began to explain the wonderful uses of Epic Fragments to Huang Quan. This artificial active material, originating from the Arad continent, is closely related to Epic weapons. In the process of failing to replicate Epic weapons, the generation of Epic Fragments played a crucial role.

These fragments, which possess some characteristics of epic weapons, seem to have a sense of self and can be integrated into weapons, armor, or jewelry of the same type as the meta-model, providing bonuses in various aspects.

The craftsmen who discovered this property were overjoyed and speculated that under certain conditions, fragments of the same model could be perfectly recreated through a special forging process to produce legendary epic weapons with earth-shattering power!

Unfortunately, the artisans' idea failed.

It's like a curse; no matter what forging method they use, they can't turn epic fragments into epic weapons. They can only settle for using the remaining value of the epic fragments to enhance similar items.

"...Your preferred weapon is probably a katana, right?"

Midis had long since discerned Huang Quan's weapon from her habitual movements. After all, they were from the same lineage. If Midis, who held the title of "Sword Master," couldn't see through the subtle details of Huang Quan, the "Sword Master," she might as well jump off a cliff and commit suicide.

"Yes." Huang Quan was not surprised; her skill in using single-edged swords should also be considered part of the katana category.

Let me see!

Without any hesitation, he told Huang Quan to quickly draw his weapon. This rather audacious request caused Huang Quan's lips to twitch twice, and finally, somewhat reluctantly, he drew his sword from the air. This futuristic, mechanically styled single-edged sword was extremely impressive, immediately catching Midis's eye!

Once you have it in your hand, flick it with your finger!

Buzz!

The trembling sound echoed softly, almost without any discordant noise. Midis's move and subsequent assessment made Huang Quan realize that his aunt, who appeared to be an ordinary office worker, was definitely a master swordsman with countless experiences.

"The material is a bit special, but not by much. ... Hmm, it's been used for quite a while. Although it's been maintained, there's still some damage inside... Do you often use thrusting sword techniques? The fatigue wear is so obvious, tsk tsk..." Just by listening to the trembling sound, one can judge the condition inside and thus deduce Huang Quan's usage habits and preferences.

Midis could have shown off on this, but Huang Quan realized that her aunt had no intention of showing off at all.

It's become a habit.

"We'll get you a better weapon when we have the chance, otherwise the magic swords will throw a tantrum." Midis subconsciously showed a look of disdain, which showed that she didn't think much of her niece's sword... or rather, toy.

Although it's said that weapons should be treated like lovers...

But don't lovers also vary in appearance?

"The prototype of this epic fragment is the [Shadow Reflection Sword], which is said to possess speed faster than a shadow and change faster than time. When fused into your weapon, its main enhancement should be in the direction of speed. If you have no other questions, I will fuse it into this sword for you now."

We sought Huang Quan's opinion to further improve the weaponry.

Can Huang Quan refuse?

Or did Huang Quan have the heart or reason to refuse this kindness? Obviously not. Seeing his wife... no, his sword being groped by Liao, Huang Quan's body already felt an urge to slam her head onto the table. Impulse as it was, Huang Quan still calmly granted permission.

Snapped! !

With a harsh, piercing sound, the epic fragment was swiftly and cleanly slammed into the sword by Mytis. Releasing his grip, the fragment vanished, and Mytis then tossed the single-edged sword to Huang Quan.

"Is that all?" Huang Quan's lips twitched more violently as she witnessed the fusion process. She felt like a con artist was performing some kind of trick.

"if not."

"..."

The fusion of epic fragments was naturally not going to result in any spectacular events. Midis glanced at Huang Quan with disdain, looking down on the idea that he was a lowly person who had never seen the world.

Having retrieved his sword, Huang Quan felt no obvious difference and had no choice but to suppress his unmet expectations.

Because he wanted to test the Hidden Edge Sword Intent, Huang Quan felt that although he might not have fewer battles in the future, he might not have many more opportunities to draw his sword.

Before Midis could speak, Huang Quan, who was already prepared to say something, sheathed his sword and spoke directly.

“Aunt Mitis, I have something to tell you about my mother.”

Chapter Fifty-Two: Tiana

Mother, cheap mom.

Although Midis already knew her true identity, Huang Quan could still call her "Mother" with complete confidence. Of course, the genuine emotion in that "Mother" was far less than that in "Aunt."
