After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 125: Who’s More Scheming?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“…”

Liu Yuan was stunned for a while, staring at the sword on the ground.

The dark red patterns on the pitch-black sword had all turned bright red, as red as blood, as if it was burning.

It seemed like there was a big problem.

“This isn’t a f*cking gift of a sword. She’s part of the package too!!”

Liu Yuan stood up instantly and roared in his heart with a twisted face.

“You’ve got to be kidding me… Is she scheming against me?!”

Liu Yuan stared at the sword on the ground.

However, the longsword did not reply. It remained where it was quietly.

“…”

The ferocious expression on Liu Yuan’s face eased a little. He waited in a daze for a while, but the sword still did not respond.

“… Umm.”

Was she really not there?

Liu Yuan stopped moving and walked over to pick up the sword. He looked up and down suspiciously, but the surroundings were quiet. There was really no follow-up.

“First of all… That was definitely not an illusion.”

Liu Yuan’s mind was clear, and he took a deep breath to calm down.

He was sure that the human figure was Xiahou Cenyi. This was absolutely certain, but it looked a little different from the Supreme Starshift.

Her eyes were dark red and her expression was arrogant. She was not like Xiahou Cenyi, who liked to mess around but still followed the rules.

Most importantly, how could there be a real person inside the sword?

“It feels like… an aura of the sword’s Sword Spirit, but something’s not right. The Sword’s Spirit has long been broken. It can’t be so complete. Xiahou Cenyi probably fused her split soul with the Sword Spirit’s remnant soul to create a relatively complete Sword Spirit.”

Liu Yuan rubbed his temples and let out a sigh.

His heart was so weak that he almost died on the spot.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s go in and take a look again. We’ll decide after we figure out the situation.” Liu Yuan struggled for a moment, then closed his eyes and once again sank his consciousness into the sword.

Vague and misty…

Just as he entered, he suddenly saw the woman’s face in front of him.

“Surprise.” Xiahou Cenyi looked at him with a smile. Her five fingers were like a knife, and he stabbed toward his abdomen.

“!!!”

Liu Yuan was once again shocked back to reality, and his sword fell to the ground with a clang.

“…”

He looked expressionlessly at the sword on the ground. The sword was stained with his blood, and his fingers still hurt a little.

It was Blood Ownership… was it necessary to be so terrifying?

However, it seemed that the Sword Spirit was trapped in the sword body and could not come out. It could only affect him when he entered.

Xiahou Cenyi’s true body should still be in seclusion.

Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and picked up the sword. His face was a little pale. This Blood Ownership did not use ordinary blood, but Essence Blood, the essence of the human body’s Qi and blood. Taking too much would hurt the body.

As expected, Evil Heart of Killing was still an evil sword. A complete Sword Spirit had a huge mental attack power. He was in a trance and was almost sucked dry.

Liu Yuan was still in shock and did not know if he should go in.

He did not know if he would be affected by the Sword Spirit if he went in. If he did not go in, he would not know what the relationship between the sword spirit and Xiahou Cenyi was.

“Goddamnit… Xiahou Cenyi gave me a sword. It can’t be to kill me, and it has already recognized me as its master.”

Liu Yuan closed his eyes and meditated. Once again, he saw Xiahou Cenyi in the sword.

This time, she was sitting in the same place, perfectly fine. The darkness around her had transformed into a courtyard, a screen, a table, and a small lotus pond. However, it was only about ten meters in radius, and the rest was still dark.

Liu Yuan recognized that this was the Sky Treasure Pavilion, where Xiahou Cenyi lived.

The woman picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of water.

“Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t change this into a wine pot.” She held her chin and sighed. Her clothes slipped off, revealing her delicate collarbones. She looked up at Liu Yuan and smiled. “Junxuan, you’re not coming?”

It looked like Xiahou Cenyi, but its eyes were blood-red, the same color as the patterns on the sword.

Liu Yuan was still very alert.

Xiahou Cenyi tilted her head, her expression innocent and charming. “Or do you want me to call you… Master?”

Fuck!

‘F*ck!’ Liu Yuan cursed in his heart. Luckily, this was a spiritual space and had nothing to do with her body.

“You are the Sword Spirit of this sword?”

Liu Yuan stared at her face, which was exactly the same as Xiahou Cenyi’s.

Xiahou Cenyi blinked and put away her innocent and charming expression. She had a strange expression on her face.”I’m Xiahou Cenyi, Xiahou Su’s great aunt, the Starshift Supreme who treats you like a treasure.”

“Fake!” Liu Yuan snorted coldly, “I’m the one who treats her like a treasure while she treats me like a toy! It’s obvious that you’re just a Sword Spirit who has obtained the memories, but you don’t understand the real situation at all.”

Xiahou Cenui blinked again. “So that’s what it is. I’m indeed a complete Sword Spirit refined by that Supreme Starshift, using a wisp of her consciousness and the remnant soul in the sword.”

“I knew that already,” Liu Yuan said.

“You, Sword Spirit, what do you want to do by changing into her appearance?” he asked, still on guard.

Xiahou Cenyi said with a serious expression, “No, I’ve always looked like this. I’m a very high-level Sword Spirit with an independent consciousness. Although I have a trace of memory, I have nothing to do with that Supreme Starshift, so why would I change into her appearance?”

“Oh,” Liu Yuan replied, but then he asked suspiciously, “Then why did you pretend to be her just now? You’re playing a prank on me even when you’re bound by blood.”

Xiahou Cenyi supported her chin with her hands and laughed. “I was just scaring you. Who knew that you would be so scared that you would even throw your sword away? I was afraid that you would be scared away, so I quickly bound it. In the end, you’re now the sword’s Master, but you’re still so afraid of me. It seems that you’re very afraid of that Supreme Starshift.”

Liu Yuan seemed to have finally let down his guard. He walked over and looked at the decorations around him, saying, “I’m not afraid, I was just startled. Being scared and being startled are two different things.”

The Saint Seiya would not fall in the same place twice, but he, Liu Yuan, could use the same reason countless times.

Xiahou Cenyi was taken aback. She nodded and felt that it made sense. She said, “But I know you. You’re Liu Junxuan. You said that you’d treasure that Supreme Starshift, but you suddenly disappeared and even hooked up with other women. Are you really not afraid?”

Liu Yuan immediately felt his scalp go numb, but Hu Jiuniang’s words about the way of checks and balances suddenly flashed through his mind.

The main point was equilibrium!

Liu Yuan felt as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across his background. He sighed and said, “I’m afraid, but I have no way out… You don’t know this, but I lost my cultivation because I went to the Sea Slashing Tower. Forget it, you won’t understand it anyway.”

He exited the sword space with a dejected look on his face. He opened his eyes and looked at the longsword in his hand. He suddenly snorted and laughed. “We’ll have to see who’s more scheming.”

He really did not know if this was the Sword Spirit or Xiahou Cenyi’s consciousness.

However, he would just treat her as a Sword Spirit and tell her all the ‘truth’ he wanted her to hear.
