Chapter 237: The protagonist’s head is full of birds
The gentle mountain breeze swept through, calming the chaotic and restless aura of the Qiongshan Ten Thousand Forests beneath the Snow Qiong Spiritual Sword’s soothing influence.
Above the snowy forest, Feng Yudie gracefully wielded her sword, gliding towards the icy blue glow, with Zhang Yihe closely trailing behind.
Earlier, Hu Tianyue casually mentioned birds. Now, Feng Yudie’s mind was filled with thoughts of birds and birds.
“Mm… birdies…” Feng Yudie murmured, involuntarily picturing a sparrow in her mind, yet still unable to comprehend why Hu Tianyue referred to her as a small bird.
Zhang Yihe, riding alongside, had been hearing Feng Yudie mutter birdies all along the way. He glanced at her several times, hesitating to speak, but finally couldn’t resist and asked,
“Brother Feng, what are you up to? You’ve been saying bird all along…”
“Huh!” Feng Yudie turned to look, puzzled for a moment, and asked, “By the way, what does the bird mean?”
Zhang Yihe was dumbfounded for a good while. It was the first time anyone had asked him this question. However, upon seeing and hearing the demeanour and accent of Feng Yudie from the Western Regions, he suddenly realized something and explained,
“Oh! I see, so that’s it… Brother Feng, the bird is a dialect here.”
“Oh, I see… What do they call it in the Western Regions?”
“It’s called…” Zhang Yihe hesitated for a moment, then said, “‘Shi’! It means momentum! Like when the big momentum is gone, it’s ‘goshi! So, Brother Feng, do you understand now?”
“Oh~” Feng Yudie pursed her lips, looked up for a moment, then shook her head,
“I still don’t get it.”
Zhang Yihe suddenly looked embarrassed. Although they were both men, it was quite strange for one man to explain this to another man. Besides, Brother Feng seemed to have a somewhat effeminate temperament, so he simply changed the topic,
“Ah… Brother Feng, you should ask Elder Hu for advice later. Shall we hurry back?”
“Alright~” Feng Yudie nodded and promptly accelerated the speed of sword-wielding, with a loud “Boom”, throwing Zhang Yihe ten yards behind.
“Huh!” Zhang Yihe was momentarily stunned, marvelling at Brother Feng’s incredible sword-wielding speed, and quickly sped up to catch up, “Brother Feng, don’t go so fast.”
Feng Yudie didn’t pay attention to him, waiting until the distance was almost closed, and finally found an opportunity to call out to Xiao Tian,
“Xiao Tian!”
“What’s up?” Xiao Tian emerged from her forehead in a daze, immediately spotting the seven-star array that now covered the sky. When he saw the icy blue light pillar in the centre, he raised his eyebrows,
“Oh! This is…”
It remembered that Lao Jiu had told it a story before, which was also written in the Book of Heavenly Dao——
Lao Jiu had five brothers and three sisters. They were all ancient dragons who once ruled different territories in ancient times, dominating the nine lands of Zhouxing Territory. But after the revival of all spirits, the human race rose and started a long war with them for the sake of seizing the territory.
Most of its five brothers and three sisters were slain by human cultivators, who severed their dragon spines. As for what happened after the dragons were killed, the Book of Heavenly Dao recorded that human cultivators took each segment of the dragon to refine a hundred pieces of heavenly artefacts. The most essential dragon spine was forged into a spiritual sword.
Eight dragons, a total of eight swords were forged. Among them, six were lost during the changes in landscapes and seasons, leaving only two in existence. One was with Immortal Yunjian, while the other was on the back of the moon.
Ignoring the latter for now, before his death, Immortal Yunjian placed his sword in the resting place of the Shadow Moon Sword Sect, awaiting his descendants and those destined to find it.
“Yudie, someone has found the Dragon Back Spirit Sword!”
“Huh!” Feng Yudie was puzzled. “What’s the Dragon Back Spirit Sword?”
“Well… it’s a sword made from the spine of one of Lao Jiu’s sisters, and it complements your Nine Heavens Sword Technique very well!”
Feng Yudie listened, her brows furrowing. She asked in return,
“If Lao Jiu saw it, wouldn’t he be angry?”
“Lao Jiu doesn’t care about that. There’s no emotional attachment between the siblings, and besides, that was tens of thousands of years ago.”
Feng Yudie nodded in understanding,
“Oh~~ Then I’ll take a look later and see if we can negotiate to bring it over.”
Xiao Tian flew to sit on her shoulder and glanced at Zhang Yihe, who was blushing and chasing behind them. He asked,
“By the way, why did you summon me? And who’s that behind us?”
“Feng Yudie turned to look at it and asked, “By the way, Xiao Tian, what is a bird?”
Xiao Tian was startled for a moment and blinked, “Ah… sparrow… sparrow?”
“Yes, what is a sparrow?”
Xiao Tian was silent for a while, thinking about some things. This was the first time Yudie had asked her this question since she grew up. For general questions, she would tell her directly as long as she knew.
But…
Xiao Tian’s cheeks suddenly turned red. Although she had learned a lot of relevant knowledge through the Heavenly Dao Scroll, and there were also pictures on the Heavenly Dao Scroll, in terms of the real thing…
Xiao Tian recalled that it was a dark and windy day. It followed Feng Yudie to take a bath in the spiritual spring in the back mountain of Chilong Mansion, jumped into the pool, passed through Senior Sister Xiao’s belly, and saw a man squatting in the pool. The fair boy…
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian quickly covered her hot cheeks and shook her head, “Oh~~.”
Feng Yudie looked puzzled, “Huh! What?”
“Well…” Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, and then a light bulb lit up in his head, “Yudie, are you curious about what it is used for or what it looks like?”
“Just tell me.”
“Go ask Ye, kid, let him show it to you, and demonstrate how to use it~~Hehe——”
“Huh!” Feng Yudie was shocked, “Couldn’t you just say it directly?”
“Not good! ~ My house still needs to be decorated. You can ask him when you meet him privately later. It’s best to ask at night.”
“Ah! Why at night?”
“It’s not very convenient to talk during the day.”
Xiao Tian’s face wore a mischievous smile. He blinked, then directly slipped back into Feng Yudie’s mind, continuing to decorate its new home.
Feng Yudie paused, furrowing her brows. She had a feeling that this bird was not a good thing, but she planned to ask other people about it later. Just at that moment, Feng Yudie finally emerged from the forest and arrived at the lake where Pei Lianxue was.
The sudden cold aura made her alert, but when she saw Pei Lianxue floating in mid-air above the lake, her eyes lit up with excitement as if she had discovered treasure. However, after glancing at the array in the sky, she immediately realized that Pei Lianxue was focused on setting up the formation. She didn’t want to disturb her, so she quietly jumped down from her flying sword and waited nearby to guard her.
“Brother Feng…”
Zhang Yihe caught up and was about to speak when Feng Yudie gave him a sharp look, silencing him.
“Shh-”
