“Duanxuan?
What a good name!” Su Chen muttered to himself, remaining calm on the outside but feeling an immense shock and joy within.
It was actually a Spiritual Artifact.
The so-called Spiritual Artifact is in fact a class above ordinary weapons.
Spirit Swords are generally not forged using common methods; they require special materials, special fire, special hammering, special steps, and so on.
The birth of a Spiritual Artifact even necessitates luck!!!
However, while it’s called a Spiritual Artifact, it’s not like the weapon truly possesses spirit; it’s just much sharper than ordinary weapons, with the Sword Blade being many times as effective.
Take Duanxuan here, for example; if you swung with the same amount of Strength, an ordinary Sword might only leave an inch-deep notch on bamboo, but with Duanxuan, it would be at least five inches.
For a Martial Cultivator, the Bonus provided by a Spiritual Artifact is immense, potentially doubling or even tripling their Strength.
Especially for Su Chen, who just so happened to possess an excellent Swordsmanship but had been worrying about lacking a fine sword.
Unexpectedly…
In his past life, Su Chen had acquired three Spiritual Artifacts, which was enough to show how precious Spiritual Artifacts really are.
After all, in his previous life he had reached the level of the strongest in China, yet he only had three Spiritual Artifacts.
According to his estimates, within China, there were probably only around twenty Spiritual Artifacts in total.
Incredibly rare.
The main reason for this scarcity is that the methods to forge Spiritual Artifacts have been lost.
The existing Spiritual Artifacts have all been passed down from ancient times.
“Su Chen, as long as you take care of my fiancé for me, it’s yours!” Mu Ziling whispered softly.
She could see that Su Chen was very fond of the sword.
“Do you know the true value of this sword?” Although Su Chen indeed wanted the sword very much, he wasn’t just going to take it without consideration.
“Not very clear, but I know it’s very precious, can even be considered a Supreme Treasure!” Mu Ziling said with a smile, “However, I’m not at a loss here, because my fiancé is probably not easy to deal with, and the family power behind him is even more difficult to deal with.
If you help me, you’re going to attract trouble from him, and you might have a lot of problems in the future, even life-threatening ones.
In comparison, this sword as compensation is not excessive!”
“No, for me, the sword is indeed too valuable, but I really like and need it, so, pleased to do business with you.
Besides that, I owe you a favor.
If you need my help in the future, I will assist you once more!” Su Chen took a deep breath and said.
Su Chen was not a good man, nor had he ever claimed to be one, but he was a person who pursued straightforward thinking.
He didn’t like to be taken advantage of, nor did he like to take advantage of others.
“Thank you!” A hint of a different shine appeared in Mu Ziling’s beautiful eyes.
“Can you give me the sword now?” Su Chen thought for a moment and then hesitantly asked.
After all, it seemed somewhat improper to take the reward before the job was done.
“Of course!” Mu Ziling nodded with a smile.
“Since I’ve found you, I trust in your character completely!”
Su Chen also smiled, taking Duanxuan into his possession.
The sword was neither long nor wide, perfect for carrying around easily and conveniently.
The next second.
Suddenly.
What Su Chen didn’t expect was that Mu Ziling leaned closer to him and even took hold of his arm.
“You…” Su Chen was somewhat shocked.
“Before I came to find you, I had already called Lanxin and told her about my plan to pose as boyfriend and girlfriend with you, and she agreed.
Because in three days, I need you to accompany me to my house.
Let’s do some preparatory work these next two days!
My parents are not fools, in fact, they are very smart.
If we don’t adapt and practice properly, they’ll realize we’re not a real couple,” Mu Ziling said quietly.
Upon hearing Mu Ziling’s explanation, Su Chen felt relieved.
However, Mu Ziling’s faint fragrance lingered close to him, proving rather distracting to his senses.
It wasn’t his fault, really; Mu Ziling was very beautiful with an extraordinary aura.
Such close contact…
It was hard to control!
“Ahem…
Boss, Mu University Belle, I…
I won’t disturb you anymore.
I…
I’ll take my leave first!”
Shou Hou had enough tact to stand up and leave.
He didn’t want to be the third wheel.
As he made to leave, he also winked conspiratorially at Su Chen, implying that he should seize the opportunity.
“Get lost!” Su Chen said, feeling somewhat annoyed.
“Hehe…” Shou Hou first went to the front desk to settle the bill, then quickly left.
He was eager to go back and study the Human Acupoint Atlas and the Cultivation Techniques and martial skills Su Chen had given him.
“Let’s go too!” After Shou Hou left, Mu Ziling suggested.
“Where to?” Su Chen always felt a bit uncomfortable with Mu Ziling hanging off his arm like that.
It really wasn’t comfortable, especially with all those envious and resentful gazes sweeping over them…
“To buy you clothes, shoes, and a watch, among other things!”
“Ah?”
“Although my parents aren’t the kind that judge by appearance or clothing, as my boyfriend visiting for the first time, you should dress up a bit.
Otherwise, they might think you don’t respect them!”
“That makes sense!” Su Chen nodded, “You’re not short of cash?”
“Not at all!”
“You’re really blunt!” Su Chen said with a wry smile.
Mu Ziling’s personality was indeed very aloof.
Even though she had the aura of a goddess, she gave off an untouchable chill.
Moreover, Su Chen could clearly feel that Mu Ziling’s aura was not an act, but inherently her own.
Under numerous watchful eyes, the two left the coffee shop.
As soon as they exited the coffee shop, Mu Ziling hooked her arm through Su Chen’s and headed towards a Porsche Panamera in front of them.
“You drive a luxury car?” Su Chen was surprised; a luxury car didn’t quite match Mu Ziling’s demeanor.
“If I’m not short of money, isn’t it normal to drive a better car?” Mu Ziling retorted.
Su Chen was left speechless.
After more than ten minutes.
The car stopped in front of the Xinfeng Tiandi Commercial Building in Chengfeng City.
Getting out of the car.
Mu Ziling once again hooked her arm through Su Chen’s.
Xinfeng Tiandi was crowded, being the largest luxury shopping mall in Chengfeng City.
Almost everyone passing by glanced at Su Chen and Mu Ziling.
It couldn’t be helped; Mu Ziling was simply too eye-catching, shining like a pearl wherever she went.
Entering the lobby on the first floor, Mu Ziling didn’t tarry, leading Su Chen by the arm straight towards the second floor.
The first floor was filled with counters for international cosmetics brands like Chanel, Guerlain, Lamo, and Givenchy, while the second floor featured international men’s clothing, shoes, and watches.
When they reached the elevator, Su Chen and Mu Ziling were just about to step in.
At that moment.
“This is Xiao Family’s property, what’s wrong with me coming for an inspection?” a woman’s voice said.
It wasn’t loud, and even quite pleasant to hear, but there was a hint of tiredness and anger in it.
As the sound reached his ears, Su Chen’s expression changed, and he immediately grasped Mu Ziling’s arm: “Wait a second!”
Then, Su Chen turned his head towards the source of the woman’s voice.
In his sight.
Xiao Yuan!!!
If it wasn’t Xiao Yuan, then who could it be?
A lifetime apart, upon seeing Xiao Yuan again, Su Chen couldn’t help but tremble slightly. freёweɓnovel.com
“Su Chen, you seem very excited!” Mu Ziling asked curiously.
She followed Su Chen’s gaze and saw a woman dressed in a professional business suit.
The woman was in her early twenties, her hair pinned up high, her complexion aloof, and her beautiful legs were encased in flesh-colored stockings, wearing black mid-heel shoes, the epitome of a female office worker or CEO’s attire.
Nothing unusual about it, but on this woman, it conveyed an overwhelmingly noble and elegant air.
“So beautiful!” Mu Ziling couldn’t help but admire in her heart; this woman’s looks and demeanor were not the least bit inferior to her or Lanxin’s.
“Miss, you have no talent in managing companies or enterprises and are not suited for it.
Besides, your health isn’t great, so don’t overwork yourself.
I advise you not to make it difficult for us and to just go back now,” said a young man standing in front of Xiao Yuan with a slightly mocking tone.
Beside him stood several men in suits, who looked like bodyguards or security personnel, blocking Xiao Yuan’s path.
“Let’s go over there,” Su Chen said, his voice cold and unequivocal.
Xiao Yuan, the woman he swore to protect and guard in this lifetime, was in trouble, and of course, he had to step up.
[The excitement continues tomorrow]
