Chapter 911: Chapter 911: New Bodyguard!
Even though Tang Li Xue was not in the mood to eat anything, she still decided to accept the Third Prince's invitation since she needed to feed her three greedy little babies.
After dinner, the Third Prince chatted with Tang Li Xue for a while, but Tang Li Xue made some random excuse and said that she was very tired right now, so she wanted to sleep earlier. Of course, Tang Li Xue did not plan to really sleep after she went back to her room. Under such huge pressure, Tang Li Xue felt as if she were sitting on an active volcano that could erupt at any time. Tang Li Xue decided to cultivate [Void Divinities Refining Method] all night instead, so she could consume the destructive space energy in her body to condense more 'Void Seeds' quickly and recover faster.
Until the morning sun rose and the next morning came, Tang Li Xue still had not managed to condense her second 'Void Seed', but her first 'Void Seed' became more solid and powerful after it absorbed more destructive space energy in Tang Li Xue's body.
Of course, the first 'Void Seed' was still far away from transforming into a 'Void Seal'. It might take more than a week or even a month for it to successfully transform into a 'Void Seal'.
Tang Li Xue exhaled the turbid breath and slowly opened her topaz blue eyes.
Even though she was cultivating [Void Divinities Refining Method] for an entire night without sleeping, Tang Li Xue did not feel tired at all, and she even felt very refreshed instead.
Compared to yesterday, Tang Li Xue could feel that her strength was at least growing 20 to 30 percent.
Unfortunately, it was still very far away from her true strength, but it really could not be helped since she could only grind the destructive space energy in her body little by little like this by diligently cultivating [Void Divinities Refining Method].
"This is too slow! Is there really no way to speed up this process?!" Tang Li Xue impatiently said.
[Of course, there is a way.]
"There is really a way to speed it up?! You damn System, why don't you say it from the very beginning?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.
[Because Host did not ask it.]
Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched slightly as she tried her best not to curse and scold her System very harshly.
"Then tell me how to do it quickly!" Tang Li Xue muttered to her System in an angry tone.
[Void Divinities Refining Method is the same as the other skills, martial arts, or techniques, so Host can speed up the mastery by consuming Comprehension Pill.]
"Ah, Comprehension Pill~! How could I forget about that thing?!" Tang Li Xue muttered softly in shock.
Tang Li Xue might not have any [Comprehension Pill] in her System's storage, so she really forgot about it, but she could actually buy it from her System's mall!
[Comprehension Pill: 3000 Deity Coins]
"3000 Deity Coins for one [Comprehension Pill] is so damn expensive!" Tang Li Xue groaned in heartache.
Although Tang Li Xue currently has more than 10,000 Deity Coins in her pocket, but she got it from the previous Foxes Hunting Festival Quest and Secret Realm Quest.
Both quests were extremely difficult to complete, so these 10,000 Deity Coins were obtained from her blood, sweat, and tears!
Tang Li Xue might be able to buy three [Comprehension Pills] in one go with her 10,000 Deity Coins, but she was really unwilling to spend all of her hard-saving Deity Coins only to buy [Comprehension Pills]!
Just when Tang Li Xue was hesitating on whether she should spend her Deity Coins to buy [Comprehension Pills], she suddenly sensed something was moving violently in her space pouch.
Clang, clang, clang...
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply as she took out her space pouch and tried to check it while murmuring in a suspicious tone: "What the heck is..."
BWOOOOOSH~!
A pitch-black black sword suddenly flew out from her space pouch!
"Good morning, Sister Xue~!" A crisp cute voice greeted Tang Li Xue excitedly.
"You are... Xi'er?! So, you have already woken up~!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise mixed with joy.
Yes, the pitch-black black sword was actually [Sword of Disaster]!
Xi'er had fallen into a deep sleep after she merged to become [Sword of Disaster]'s treasure spirit in the underwater palace before.
Tang Li Xue thought Xi'er might need several months or so to recover, but Xi'er actually recovered much faster than she expected.
"I also thought I would need a lot of time to recover, but who knew that the strange aura produced by this new vessel was so miraculous?! Thanks to it, I can recover early, and I can even help you fight now, hehehe..." Pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] flew around Tang Li Xue several times while Xi'er's cheerful voice rang in Tang Li Xue's mind.
"Oh? What do you mean by you can even help me fight?" Tang Li Xue widened her charming topaz blue eyes as she curiously asked Xi'er.
"Hehehe, Sister Xue, look~!" Pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] cheerfully said as it suddenly emitted mysterious black light.
Then a beautiful lady in an elegant Hanfu red dress appeared right in front of Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
"This is... the scary woman from the Medicine Garden Palace in the Fallen Ancient Sect's secret realm!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in dread and surprise.
Her body unconsciously moved to distance herself from the beautiful lady in the red dress, but she almost slipped down from the bed and fell down embarrassingly. Fortunately, the beautiful lady in the red dress quickly caught Tang Li Xue and helped her before she could fall down.
"Calm down, Sister Xue. This body is under my control now." Xi'er's cheerful voice came out from the red-dressed lady's mouth.
"This... How could it be..." Tang Li Xue muttered in confusion.
She remembered that she only stored the badly damaged Heaven Edge Sword in the [Sword of Disaster] before.
So, even if the Heaven Edge Sword managed to recover by absorbing the Darkness Energy and Death Energy produced by the [Sword of Disaster, it should be the old swordsman who came
out instead.
After thinking deeply for a while, Tang Li Xue immediately recalled that the Heaven Edge Sword actually absorbed the red-dressed lady's black energy in the end.
"Ah, I see, so that was the reason~! Wait a minute... Does it mean the Heaven Edge Sword can summon both the lady in the red dress and the old swordsman now?" Tang Li Xue said in an
excited tone.
She had already seen how powerful the lady in the red dress and the old swordsman were when they fought fiercely against each other previously in the Medicine Garden Palace.
Both of them should possess the strength above Nascent Soul Stage master, especially the fierce old swordsman!
If she had them as her bodyguards, her safety here would surely be much more reassured!
"Uhh, no, Sister Xue... That broken sword can only summon one person as its wielder, but as its controller, I can tinker a bit with the appearance of its wielder. Umm, rather than the ugly old man's appearance, this beautiful lady's template is clearly much more pleasing to the eyes, right?" Xi'er's words immediately broke Tang Li Xue's expectations.
"Sigh... Oh, well... At least I have one powerful bodyguard now. Wait, how strong is this corpse body now, Xi'er?" Tang Li Xue asked skeptically.
Xi'er shook her head and explained: "The broken sword is still far from being fully recovered, so this body can only use less than 10% of her full strength for now."
"I knew it would not be that easy!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in great disappointment. Xi'er hastily added a few words again to comfort Tang Li Xue: "But don't worry, Sister Xue. Even though this body can only use less than 10% of her full strength, her strength still reaches mid-rank Nascent Soul Stage plus she can use sword intent and sword energy, not to mention she is also unkillable with the power of black energy body, so her overall strength is
not too bad."
"What?! Mid-rank Nascent Soul Stage with sword intent and sword energy plus unkillable black energy body?!" Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes again in disbelief. 'Damn, what the heck is that?! Doesn't that mean the power of the old swordsman and the
scary woman in the red dress combine into one body?! That is really scary! If the Heaven Edge Sword fully recovered, her strength should be far above Nascent Soul Stage!' Tang Li Xue thought in astonishment and excitement.
When Tang Li Xue wanted to ask Xi'er further about it, someone suddenly knocked on the
door of her room several times.
Knock, knock, knock...
"It should be maids. Xi'er, you should go back to the [Sword of Disaster] first. It would be bad if they suddenly saw you appear in my room. I will find a way for you, so you can legally appear and guard me in front of everyone later." Tang Li Xue said to Xi'er in a solemn tone.
"I understand, Sister Xue." Xi'er obediently replied as she controlled the lady in the red dress to return to the [Sword of Disaster], the [Sword of Disaster] flew back into Tang Li Xue's space
pouch.
"You can come in now~!" Tang Li Xue shouted to allow the maids outside to enter her room.
Tang Li Xue silently thought of a plan in her mind while the maids helped her to tidy up her silver hair and dress: 'It seems I have to cancel my plan to visit the Imperial Library today. I should find the Third Prince and ask for his permission to go for a walk around this Imperial City, so I can find a random reason to bring Xi'er back later.'
