Chapter 653: Chapter 415: Crazy Thought_2

Tianyan pursed her lips, staring at Xu Yuan without speaking.

One breath,

Five breaths,

Ten breaths.

Xu Yuan felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze, smacked his lips and said,

"Hey, you don’t think I am the calamity that this world disaster starts with, do you?"

"Someone said it themselves in the Illusionary Realm, as the beginning of a world disaster..."

"I was bluffing Tian Ye at the time."

Xu Yuan quickly interrupted.

He certainly didn’t want to inadvertently shoulder such a formidable title, especially while he was still only at the Soul Condensation stage.

"Is that so..."

Tianyan responded noncommittally, her gaze filled with a smiling expression, yet amidst the smile, there was a hint of indiscernible affection.

Xu Yuan had a faint sense of foreboding and coughed lightly to sidestep the topic, asking,

"You just mentioned that the real Tian Ye has refined that Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow into a Ghost Blade?"

"Yes." Tianyan did not dwell on the previous topic and nodded, "A Demonic Blade tinged with a sinister ghost aura."

"How did you come to know of this? Have you found it?"

"Of course."

"What?"

Xu Yuan’s brows immediately furrowed.

Due to what his maternal uncle reported about the exploration results of the Qionghua Secret Realm, the Prime Minister’s Mansion had not invested resources in exploring and developing it.

The Qionghua Secret Realm was quite poor,

Twenty-thousand years had left most valuable things inside utterly decayed; those that hadn’t were hard to profit from considering the cost of development.

Moreover, and more importantly, the Qionghua Secret Realm’s space was unstable and could collapse at any moment, making it impossible to develop it into a secret stronghold.

Therefore, once that maternal uncle obtained that batch of damaged Sumeru Rings, he used the authority of a Sword Saint to survey the realm for peculiarities before promptly departing.

However, it seemed that uncle had missed such a valuable item.

But there was no helping it; who could blame him when he had no memories of the Illusionary Realm at that time?

With that thought,

Xu Yuan eagerly turned his gaze toward the golden-eyed girl who sat across from him, poised and composed.

He rather liked the Willow Ghost Sword from the Illusionary Realm; it was certainly better than the Qingyu Sword currently in his hands, given by Feng Jiuxuan.

Although that enchantress favored blades, the difference between a blade and a sword was not substantial for Xu Yuan, who did not have a fixation on any specific type of weapon.

Sword, blade, or any other weapon, were all simply tools for defending against enemies and taking lives.

As for sword techniques and secret techniques?

Apart from a few extremely special types, the effects when using a blade or sword were typically the same.

Therefore, he was not fussy about weapons.

Of course, as the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he most certainly wasn’t looking for handouts or to live off someone else...

"Hmm."

Feeling Xu Yuan’s eager gaze on her, how could Tianyan not know what the shameless dead guy was thinking. With a flick of her wrist, an ancient-looking wooden blade appeared in her palm.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up.

Indeed, the Washboard Saintess was the best to him~

Liked Tianyan for a day.

Bang!

She slapped the wooden blade down on the tea table in front of her, spilling the fragrant tea from the cup, wetting the smooth and costly tea tray.

"...."

Xu Yuan stared at the blade before him—no, more precisely, at the sword.

It was a straight-bladed sword without a guard, simple and slender. It was three feet long and the whole blade was a dark brown color.

It hadn’t been taken out for more than a moment, yet the temperature in the already damp and tranquil room from the continuous autumn rain dropped down a bit more.

Aside from that,

A restless, violent emotion gradually began to spread throughout Xu Yuan’s heart...

As he was furrowing his brow, Tianyan seemed to do it on purpose, pushing the Willow Ghost Sword toward him slightly. The hilt touched his wrist gently through his sleeve.

Whirr—

A buzzing sounded in his ears.

Emotions such as the desire to kill, violence, and lust quickly spread throughout his chest.

The Blood Essence Meteoring Art spontaneously began operating, and Xu Yuan’s eyes cleared up. He awkwardly shifted backwards a bit, distancing himself more from the Ghost Blade.

The fragmented memories from the Illusionary Realm had made him forget something.

He was no longer a Primordial powerhouse; he was just a minor Soul Condensation, utterly incapable of withstanding the overwhelming malice in the blade refined from a Saint-Level Ghost Willow.

"Cough, what are you doing?"

Tianyan rolled her eyes at him, her voice teasing,

"Didn’t you want Tian Ye’s Ghost Blade?"

Xu Yuan looked serious and attempted to appear dignified,

"How could I take something so valuable from you?"

"Really... don’t want it?"

Tianyan’s eyes curved as she spoke, playfully wielding the Muliugui Blade in her hand.

In an instant,

The entire room was filled with a soul-crying lament!

Damn it!

Xu Yuan immediately went on guard; just touching this Demonic Blade had almost made him lose his composure, let alone wielding it, which would probably cost him his life.

But thankfully, Tianyan was measured.

The ghostly wails only spread within the room, not affecting him in the slightest.

After a brief silence, Xu Yuan edged further back,

"Cough, I was... just curious."

Thud.

Sheathing the blade back, Tianyan placed the Ghost Blade back on the tea table, her eyes smiling as she said,

"You think I don’t know what you’re like? I brought this Ghost Blade specifically to give it to you because you’ve used it for nearly a decade in the Illusionary Realm. However..."

At that point, Tianyan sighed softly, her autumn-water-like golden eyes showing a hint of disdain,

"You’re too weak right now to handle it. I’ll have to keep it safe for you for the time being."

"Actually, you could entrust it to Lou Ji..."

Xu Yuan suggested instinctively, but under Tianyan’s increasingly cold gaze, he swallowed his words right back.
