Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect
Chapter 147 - 146: Drunk

Chapter 147: Chapter 146: Drunk

Yes, in the extreme case, if Chen Xuantian, this ’Sword Master’, received sufficiently high authorization, and if the ’flying sword’ system he commands carried nuclear warheads.

He could move strategic projection forces without any warning and launch nuclear attacks on any target, at any time, and at any place as he wishes.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the top authorities would really hand over the country’s entire strategic nuclear reserves and strike permissions to Chen Xuantian.

They wouldn’t give it to a student still in school, would they?

As long as the feasibility of the ’flying sword’ system is successfully validated, the replication and mass production of ’Sword Masters’ like Chen Xuantian will be the next step.

As long as there are ’Sword Masters’, hidden all over the world like nuclear submarines, even if faced with an initial wave of nuclear strikes, and the central command is completely incapacitated, the nuclear counterattack strategy could still be enacted.

The avenging ’flying sword’ would ensure mutual destruction until the ’Sword Masters’, their ’flying swords’, or their enemies are utterly annihilated.

Certainly, after ensuring the security of the ’Sword Master’ system, having a supreme authority figure mastering ultimate nuclear power is only a matter of time.

However, by then the core strategy might not focus on ’counterattack’, but rather on wanton and seamless ’First Strike’...

"Truly racing down the path of self-destruction..."

Chen Xuantian sat in the car, watching the video of a faceless officer speaking on the tablet.

Just during that small talk, he received another Third-class Merit Medal, commending his outstanding contribution to national defense research.

The principal smiled,

"The high ground is right there; if you don’t occupy it, the enemy will.

If you invent gunpowder to make fireworks, people won’t give you a peace prize, they’ll use your formula to throw millions of tons of TNT at you.

Humans, after all, are the cruellest animals on Earth.

It’s a struggle of the survival of the fittest, winners are kings and losers are outlaws, it’s a matter of life and death, so don’t be too naïve."

Chen Xuantian naturally understood this principle, yet lamented,

"I used to think the world in my dreams was so harsh because they had an agrarian society with outdated productivity and technology.

But now thinking closely, this place isn’t a bed of happiness and peace either, and it’s even hard to say whose technology is more outdated.

So if slaughter and destruction are human nature, and technological and cultural progress cannot bring true peace, what’s the point of doing all this?"

The principal shook his head and laughed,

"Ha-ha, how can it not bring peace. Just kidding, do you know how much humans love peace as a civilization? They are the damn light of the universe. Don’t fall into nihilism."

Chen Xuantian, "..."

The principal moved the laptop over to Chen Xuantian to show him a screen,

"What do you see?"

Chen Xuantian glanced at it,

"The Solar System?"

The principal adjusted the scale on the starmap, turning it into the Milky Way, then the universe, and finally into a patch of void.

"Understand now?"

Chen Xuantian expressed that he did not.

The principal pointed to the void,

"From the cosmological perspective, boundless darkness and eternal silence are the norms. Eventually, everything will fade into an inevitable heat death, with nothing to stop it, nothing to save it.

So from a physics standpoint, yes, everything reduces to nothingness, and nothing has meaning. It’s the fleeting brilliance of the civilization erupting on the third planet of this Solar System.

Whether peace or war, civilization or chaos, it is humans who give sound to this silent space, who perform on this empty stage.

This vast galaxy, this silent universe, you probably won’t find another civilization as keen on twinkling and flourishing as humans.

So it is humanity that bestows light upon the universe, how could you say there’s no meaning in that?"

Chen Xuantian was a bit befuddled and didn’t quite get his meaning.

The principal didn’t mind, pointing at Chen Xuantian, and then himself,

"Someone once told me, all of us, are the dust from the core of stars, this fleeting life is our splendid bloom, so regardless of what kind of performance, one day we will return to the stars.

Since one day we’ll fade away, might as well dazzle a little brighter now, shine a bit more fiercely, after all, there’s nothing to lose.

Oh, we’ve arrived, okay, anyway this urgent mission interrupted you momentarily, I need to go report now, you can go back to continue your experiment."

Chen Xuantian still seemed half-understand, half-unclear, and as the jeep stopped at the school gate, he was muddle-headedly urged off the vehicle.

"Continue the experiment... start from where?"

"Wherever it halted before, start from there."

The principal closed the car door, the eight-cylinder engine of the jeep roared like a wild donkey, speeding off.

Chen Xuantian was speechless, interrupted inexplicably from his dream, indeterminately conducted an experiment, and then bafflingly listened to a lot of strange words.

Forget it, no matter, have a meal and go back to lie down again, who knows if I can continue dreaming...

...

Then Tie Dan opened his eyes, in the blink of an eye, instantly updated Chen Xuantian’s memories, dispelled the interference of alcohol, and restored a clear mind.

And just in this blink of an eye, Xiao Baoqin had already thrown herself into Tie Dan’s arms, with her ruby lips pouting, and the aroma of wine exhaled from her mouth and nose, ready to plant a kiss on his lips...

Tie Dan’s gaze sharpened, his body turned aside, his hand folded, his elbow struck, and his knee propped.

"Clang!"

"Ouch!"

Xiao Baoqin lunged right into thin air, fell flat on the ground, and her arm was twisted behind her, a knee pressing against her back, she couldn’t catch her breath.

"To show such flattery without reason, you must have ulterior motives! Speak, what are you plotting?"

"Eek eek!"

Xiao Baoqin’s wrist was about to be broken, the pain unbearable, and the biting cold energy invading her body scared her sober instantly, looking at Tie Dan’s fierce and vicious gaze, she was so frightened, she was dumbfounded, teary-eyed, and trembling all over, unable to utter half a word.

Lord Xiao was just sitting to the side, eating fruit and watching, and suddenly seeing this scene unfold, he was also speechless,

"Hey, hey...you lad, what are you doing... besides, you know it, her family lacks nothing, so she’s surely not a thief."

Tie Dan snorted coldly,

"I’m hardly the handsome and suave type, how could a Marquis Mansion girl like her, a noble relative, possibly throw herself at a passerby she just met! There must be trickery here! Dare to hide it from me!"

"Ah! Benefactor, a bit lighter! You’re hurting me so much!"

Xiao Baoqin cried out miserably in pain from the twist, yet the guards and maids outside the cabin didn’t come in...

Hmm, seems there’s a subtle misunderstanding over there too...

Lord Xiao was also utterly speechless,

"Young friend... don’t belittle yourself too much, though it’s true you’re not exactly handsome or dashing, your gaze is somewhat fierce, but you do carry yourself with a dragon-like stride and tiger-like poise, quite manly, some women are into that kind of look..."

Tie Dan glared at him, even Lord Xiao was silenced by that intimidating gaze.

And as Tie Dan pressed Xiao Mei Qin’s neck, the Ice Qi seeped into her spine along the cervical junction, slicing open her lengthy neck with an ice knife, letting the flowing blood drip down through the gully,

"Still not telling the truth, think I’m afraid of your Xiao family, huh? Count to three, and I’ll chop off your head."

"Eek—!"

Xiao Baoqin shivered all over in fear, tears streaming down, whimpering and begging,

"Miss...Miss does not mean any harm, just seeing the house guards haven’t returned, worried the protectors were harmed by demons, traveling home alone without protection, only wanted to ask you, benefactor..."

Tie Dan snorted coldly,

"Is this how your family hires guards!"

Xiao Baoqin felt ashamed and anxious, she couldn’t help but cry,

"I, I, I was a bit drunk, smelling your wonderful scent, I couldn’t help myself...you wouldn’t, you just wouldn’t, why humiliate me like this...woo woo..."

Tie Dan snorted coldly,

"Still spouting lies, how come I can’t smell anything!"

Kun jumped in quickly and gave a hint.

Lord Xiao translated,

"The Lord said that your turbo Dao Body has a natural scent, some kind of pheromone or something that’s quite potent...

In essence, it contains sex pheromones that cause unusual excitement in the opposite sex and serve as a warning, displaying aggression and dominance to the same sex.

It’s much like those novel characters who emanate an aura that makes others bow...eh, eh? It’s not fiction, there’s really such a person?"

Kun nodded.

Tie Dan, "..."

He couldn’t help but believe it since with Tie Dan twisting her arm, grabbing her neck, and pinning her down, Xiao Baoqin didn’t scream or struggle.

At this point, the Yangquan Immortal Brew coursing through her also took effect, forcing out the Ice Qi that Tie Dan had infused, sweating profusely, her skin warm and glossy, emitting a subtle body fragrance.

Moreover, Xiao Baoqin’s tear-laden eyes gleamed like rippling autumn waves, her face became even rosier and more charming, even writhing her body, rubbing her legs together, subconsciously lifting her hips, adjusting her position, lying prostrate under Tie Dan, ready to receive the violent ravage and domination from the superior one...

Why is this my fault?

Tie Dan was momentarily embarrassed, quickly loosening his grip and standing up,

"Since it’s just a misunderstanding, I apologize, my bad."

Xiao Baoqin didn’t speak, just held onto Tie Dan’s calf, lying on the ground gazing up at him, biting her lip, gently stroking his leg with her fingers, seemingly a bit unwilling to let go.

Ah, the pheromones seem really intense...

Seeing this couldn’t end well, Tie Dan had no choice but to put her to sleep with a swift chop.

Lord Xiao, with a blank expression, said,

"...After waiting for so long, this is what you show me?"
