Chapter 36: The Legacy of the Demon Soldier, Ning Family's Proposal for Marriage
As soon as she opened the box and took a look, Chu Yun suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, Zui Xue Dao!"
The Drunken Snow Sword quivered slightly in its wooden scabbard, and upon seeing Chu Yun, it let out a joyful hum. The snow-bright blade light, the flowing and elegant sword body, combined the beauty of wildness and elegance.
Chu Yun furrowed her brow: "Zui Xue Dao is yours, Father. How can I accept it?"
Shu Tianhao smiled and reached into his box, grabbed the Drunken Snow Knife and handed it to Chu Yun.
The Drunken Snow Sword was violently trembling in his hand, as if an ice dragon was struggling with all its might. In the brief process, Shu Tianhao's veins were bulging, his face was crimson red, and hot air was rising from his entire body. Obviously, controlling this Drunken Snow Sword had exhausted all his strength.
Chu Yun took the knife with a look of astonishment on his face.
A strange thing happened, the Drunken Snow Sword immediately stopped trembling and became still. It was as gentle as a kitten, the sword body emitted a soft hum, and even gave off a faint scent of wine.
"This is......" Chu Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"Zui Xue Dao, has already acknowledged you as its master." Shu Tian Hao let out a relieved sigh, his eyes looking at Chu Yun with not a hint of regret for losing the sword, but instead filled with utmost satisfaction.
A white-browed Dan master chuckled and explained in a warm voice, "It's normal that the young island owner doesn't know some things. This sword is a yao bing (demon soldier). Some objects that are used frequently by people, with emotions poured into them, will develop a spirit over time and become yao bing. Yao beasts, yao soldiers, and yao plants are the three major branches of the yao masters."
How could Chu Yun not understand? He was just surprised that the Drunken Snow Sword would actually acknowledge him as its master.
Yao refers not to a narrow-minded monster, but rather to things that have gained spirituality. A Yao master is someone who can control these spiritual objects.
Among these spiritual objects, the demon beasts are only a part of them. Chu Yun's Tian Hu, Lao Yu Wang's Sea Spider, and Can Lang's Fenghuo Yanlang Beast are all demon beasts.
There is also a part of the cultivation of plants, most of which are production activities. For example, Lao Hongqiang's Biyu Haitai, Qiao Laohouzi's Tongling Yezi Tree, etc.
The third part is the demon soldier. Some man-made objects, often used and infused with emotions, have spirituality. Shu Tianhao's Drunken Snow Knife is one of them. It was precisely by relying on this demon soldier that Shu Tianhao could contend against Can Lang's Feng Huo Yan Lang Beast.
"In the previous life, I only inherited the Drunken Snow Sword after my adoptive father's death. Now that Old Man is still alive, how can this demonic sword recognize me as its master? How strange!" Chu Yun wondered in her heart.
"The demon soldier acknowledges a master, unless the master is already dead, it will choose a new one. However, your situation is special. At that time on the battlefield, Master Shū was on the verge of death. The Drunken Snow Sword was almost without a master. Coincidentally, at that moment, Master Chū used the Drunken Snow Sword in battle, pouring all his emotions and willpower into it, triggering a resonance with the sword's spirit. Therefore, it acknowledged a new master."
Bai Mei's master explained from the side.
"So that's how it is." Chu Yun finally understood. At the time, Zui Xue Dao mistakenly thought Shu Tianhao was dead, and with his own twenty-three years of accumulated emotions and suppressed fighting spirit bursting out, this demonic sword acknowledged him as its master.
"In that case, I'll take this sword." Under the heavens, the Drunken Snow Sword could only be used by itself. Once she understood this point, Chu Yun didn't pretend to be polite and directly took the demonic sword.
"Alright, alright, alright." Shu Tianhao nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath and said, "Zui Xue Dao is the sword worn by the successive island masters of Shu Island, it contains the spirit of countless ancestors and is also a symbol of the rights of Shu Island. Behind it lies the pride and dignity of warriors. Don't disappoint this sword. In the future, if there's an opportunity, you should try to improve its cultivation as much as possible."
"The child understands." Chu Yun nodded. The demon soldier can also absorb spiritual energy, absorb the demon crystal, and improve its cultivation. This Drunken Snow Knife is a high-level demon artifact with 450 years of cultivation accumulation.
Bai Mei Dan Sheng's eyes sparkled with a smile: "Zui Xue Dao is a great demon sword, and Chu Yun, the young master of Shaoyang Island, can wield it. This proves that he has an extraordinary innate talent, which is too powerful to be ordinary. It's like a piece of unpolished jade, which only needs some carving to become a precious and beautiful gem. I hope that in the future, when Chu Yun arrives at Tian Ge Shu Yuan, he will not slack off, but instead strive diligently, and not waste Heaven's favor."
"Tian Ge Shu Yuan? Father, what's going on?" Chu Yun was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Haha, I've already recommended you to Tian Ge Shu Yuan. Tian Ge Shu Yuan is a great place with abundant resources and gathers almost all the young talents from the Star Islands. You must work hard." Shu Tian Hao patted Chu Yun's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Unexpected surprise, Chu Yun was somewhat caught off guard: 'But I didn't become the first in the Coming of Age ceremony...'"
"You foolish kid. Who says that being the first in the Coming of Age ceremony means you'll definitely be admitted to the Tian Ge Academy? The Tian Ge Academy only accepts youngsters who have been recommended from each island. Being the first in the Coming of Age ceremony is just one of the standards for recommendation. With your current performance, even if I, your old man, were to die, no one would recommend you. It's not that I don't want to recommend you, it's just that if I didn't, everyone on the island would think I'm a foolish and incompetent father..."
"Father..." Chu Yun choked back a sob, just about to speak.
Just then, a servant came over to report: "Reporting to the Island Master, an envoy from Ningjia Island has arrived with a large batch of gifts."
"Someone's coming from the Ning family..." Shu Tian's eyebrows furrowed for a moment before relaxing. "Please come in."
"What? To be with me and Qin? Or Ning Yiyi..." A moment later, after understanding the messenger's intention, Chu Yun's face changed color, and she couldn't help but stand up from her seat.
This Ning Yiyi, he also knew - has a beautiful face and figure, but loves vanity and is proud of her beauty. Her favorite thing to do is to watch her pursuers make a big fuss over a single word from her. In the memories of the chaotic years of the Zhuxing Archipelago, she remarried five times, climbing higher and higher each time. In the end, she even married her own cousin, the new master of the Ning family island. Becoming one of the few noblewomen with extremely prominent power in the Zhuxing Archipelago.
Such a person is actually going to marry me?
"Since my rebirth, everything has been changing. I never thought that I would get entangled with such a person. The situation is changing so rapidly, how long can my advantage of being one step ahead be maintained?" Chu Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"What's with you?" Shu Tianhao furrowed his brow.
The Ning family's messenger, however, had a smile all over his face. He took in Chu Yun's movements with a keen eye and thought that he was a charming young man who admired the beauty of the Ning family's princess and was now excited beyond control.
"Haha, Ning Yiyang this girl, has a very good demon-subduing talent. The person is also very beautiful, unforgettable at first sight. In our Tiange Academy, there is quite an impact. The pursuers behind her can form a long street. Haha, since ancient times, beauties match heroes. Chu Shaodaoren, is a true young hero. Not making a sound then suddenly shocking the world, killing the remaining wolves, is a battle achievement that shocks the region, enough to be proud of. Hero and beauty, what a good marriage!"
Bai Mei Dan Shifu spoke a few words, speaking and laughing at the same time, with a profound meaning in his laughter.
The Ning family's envoy's face was even more delighted, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and he couldn't help but feel joyful. It seems that this diplomatic mission has been a success.
The matter itself had a high success rate. Ning Yiyi was the direct granddaughter of the master of the Ning family island, the undisputed princess of the Ning family, and at a young age, her reputation had spread throughout the entire Star Group Islands.
That young man does not admire, that handsome youth does not lean towards?
"This young master of Chu Island, although exceptionally brave and unparalleled, is still a youngster after all. Looking at his delighted expression, it's truly... heh heh."
