Chapter 343: It Moves on Its Own?

Liu Churan must still hold some control over the Yin Fetuses in this secret realm, which made her the second master.

“I want to get out and get some fresh air!”

“*Sob*, I want to get out and hit Gui Gui!”

As night fell, the two ghosts within the umbrella sword began to stir with excitement. Ye Wenxin mentally warned them to behave.

“You two better behave outside. If you don’t, I’ll burn you!” Of course, she couldn’t actually burn the umbrella; only legendary flames were capable of harming divine weapons.

But the threat was enough to scare the two little ghosts, whose intelligence and personalities had been halved. Ye Wenxin opened the umbrella sword, and the two ghosts eagerly started to play. Upon closer inspection, Ye Wenxin saw that they had taken on the appearances of ten-year-old girls, about a meter tall.

They both looked incredible, each with a pair of small horns on her head—one green and one red—like wild twins.

Long Qing’er, however, didn’t sense the presence of the two ghosts. Instead, she marveled at Ye Wenxin pulling out the long sword. “What a fine weapon,” she said, with clear admiration in her eyes.

If it weren’t for the two ghosts within the umbrella sword, Ye Wenxin might have generously gifted the sword to Long Qing’er. But for now, she just smiled and wiped the sword with a towel, eliciting a sigh of comfort from Sword Ghost.

The two ghosts seemed to have fully integrated with the umbrella sword—one controlling the umbrella and the other the sword. When in action, their combined prowess could be incredibly impressive.

As night fell, Yin Fetuses started appearing around the area again. However, since Ye Wenxin had taken away their creator, Ghost Mother, the Yin Fetuses were now cautious and moved carefully around the perimeter, unlike their previous unbridled behavior.

When she used the umbrella sword, Ye Wenxin would see Ghost Mother and Sword Ghost fighting fiercely, and mutter about the inhumanity of ghosts. Not to mention Sword Ghost, Ghost Mother showed no mercy even towards her own offspring, revealing her gluttonous nature as she devoured them with relish.

Long Qing’er was initially still worried about Ye Wenxin’s safety. However, as she watched her calmly sitting on the side, with the umbrella sword floating in the air, she was left dumbfounded, unsure how to describe her complex feelings.

Ye Wenxin awkwardly explained, “Um, I recently learned to automate attacks. As long as I use my divine sense, I can control the weapon.”

She lied with a straight face, and Long Qing’er seemed to take her at her word, replying, “Is there really such a magical technique? I wonder if Junior Sister Wenxin could give me some pointers.”

Long Qing’er believed her completely. If she weren’t busy battling monsters, she would have likely sat down with Ye Wenxin to discuss it in depth. However, with the current situation, she continued to fight like a berserker.

Long Qing’er’s fighting style, once graceful, now seemed radically different, making Ye Wenxin wonder what she had been through in the past half month. Regardless, change was not necessarily a bad thing.

If Long Qing’er wanted to become an empress, she must first overcome herself and then confront Long Qingyue. At that point, Ye Wenxin planned to remain neutral.

If she intervened, regardless of whether she supported Long Qingyue or Long Qing’er, Long Qingyue would disapprove. Long Qingyue preferred to complete her own storyline independently, and Ye Wenxin was a spectator who should never disturb the balance of the world.

Long Qing’er’s shout snapped Ye Wenxin out of her contemplation about Long Qingyue.

“Watch out!” A mutated Yin Fetus swung towards Ye Wenxin. She had already sensed it and could easily evade the attack in any position, but she was also aware of the nearby presence.

A strange wind blew from behind, and as Ye Wenxin looked back, she saw various weapons appearing on the Yin Fetus. An axe was thrown accurately at its head, a long sword pierced its heart, and the umbrella sword restrained its hands.

Ye Wenxin remained unharmed, but then a familiar figure dashed towards her and embraced her tightly.

“Old Jin?” Feeling the generous bust, Ye Wenxin immediately recognized that it was Jin Xiaoqin.

“You ungrateful disciple! You don’t even call me Master anymore!” Jin Xiaoqin, initially delighted to see Ye Wenxin, was abruptly angered by her words and gave her a sharp smack on the head.

Ye Wenxin let out a muffled sound, chuckled, and hugged Jin Xiaoqin’s waist. Her hand slipped down and she couldn’t help but give her a light pinch on the butt. “I was just worried you might be a Yin Fetus in disguise!”

Jin Xiaoqin’s face flushed. She was about to scold Ye Wenxin when she saw the umbrella sword flying towards them from a distance. Startled, Jin Xiaoqin immediately shielded Ye Wenxin with her own body. Such protectiveness, valuing others even more than herself, was something only someone like Jin Xiaoqin could display.

Ye Wenxin’s heart warmed at the sight, and she quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, Old Jin. This is my weapon.”

“Disciple, how come your weapon moves on its own?” Jin Xiaoqin was intrigued, clearly puzzled since no one else besides Ye Wenxin could see the two ghosts floating in the air.

Feeling awkward, Ye Wenxin began to make up a story with a serious face, “I encountered a skeleton in the villa. I bowed to it two hundred times, and the skeleton broke apart, revealing this umbrella sword.”

She brought up the old cave story again, and it seemed that no matter how implausible it sounded, everyone was willing to accept the explanation.

In addition, thanks to the guidance Jin Xiaoqin had given her previously, Ye Wenxin’s control over her micro-expressions while lying had also improved. So, she took shamelessness to an extreme. As everyone walked along the road, they soon regrouped with the others.

Surprisingly, the losses this time were quite minimal. Not only that, but they also found other survivors.

In the end, out of the hundred people who entered the secret realm, more than fifty survived. However, the casualties among the Azure Wings Sect disciples were still severe. Of the twenty who entered, over ten true disciples perished. When they return, Jin Xiaoqin and Fairy Fengya would likely face a serious lesson filled with love.

Regardless, this outcome was still a cause for celebration. The people around were very pleased to see that Ye Wenxin and Long Qing’er survived, and a joyful atmosphere pervaded. Jin Xiaoqin clung to Ye Wenxin so tightly that Ye Wenxin felt as if Jin Xiaoqin had automatically taken on the role of her Dao companion.

Although Jin Xiaoqin’s expression was natural, the flesh-colored condor still eyed her with hostility, seemingly eager to swallow her whole. Meanwhile, the two childish ghosts were quite excited to see so many people, but dared not approach Xuan Luofei, clearly recognizing that the Demon Subduing Qin in Xuan Luofei’s hand was not to be trifled with.

The two ghosts played around, causing a chill to sweep through the surroundings, while everyone remained unaware that it was their prank. As Jin Xiaoqin moved closer, she took a sip of alcohol and then offered the drink to Ye Wenxin.
