The black and white swords clanged as they slashed at each other, shattering into 'snowflakes' that filled the sky. It was as though the world was left with the constantly falling untainted black and holy white.
Shi Xiaobai had underestimated the intelligence of the black and white swords, or it could be said that he had underestimated their 'loyalty'. He never expected that the black and white swords would acutely sense the severity of the situation, nor did he expect that they would be willing to sacrifice themselves to save him.
Shi Xiaobai was stunned for a long while as he stared blankly at the black and white fragments that littered the ground. His chest felt like it was blocked by a boulder as he gaped slightly, unable to say a word. His throat seemed to be choked with something that he could neither swallow nor spit out.
He could endure pain and torture, but he could not stand others sacrificing themselves for him.
The benevolent butcher who said "I will tell your grandfather not to slaughter pigs in the future during this Qingming".
The black-haired youth who knocked him unconscious in the cupboard, picked up a rusty pig slaughtering knife and rushed out the door, but never returned.
The purple-haired pixie who went 'berserk' to save him, becoming a fallen pixie that she hated the most.
The blond girl who carried him around the world without showing any signs of fatigue until she fainted.
The azure-dressed girl who nearly tore her arms apart when he lost control and scratched her shoulders. Instead, she worried if he would feel sorry for her.
They were the same.
The little white dog beside him that had vomited out all the treasures it had stashed away.
The two black and white swords that had shattered themselves to save him.
It was the same.
He could not accept such a sacrifice. This was a sorrow that even a King could not endure. It was a tragedy that he could not accept.
Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a long while before he finally sighed silently. A look of determination flashed in his eyes.
He moved his weak body and stretched out his stiff hands to slowly pick up the fragments of the black and white swords. He gathered them into a pile and placed them in front of him.
"There will be a day when This King will restore all of you to your original state."
Shi Xiaobai gently caressed the black and white fragments. The fragments were like black and white piano keys that were cool and smooth. However, they no longer produced a clear sword hum like before. At this moment, they were silent, as though they had become a pile of dead objects.
Shi Xiaobai would not eat them, even if they were truly dead objects, even if there was only a minute left before the Holy Tree Sin Poison's next outbreak.
He would treasure the black and white fragments on the ground and safeguard them. He would also search for a way to 'assemble' them and restore them to their original state.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a childish yet cold snort of a young girl rang out.
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation on the back of his right hand. He looked down and saw the golden pattern on the back of his right hand suddenly light up. Resplendent golden beams of light shot out like a blooming lotus!
Suddenly, a ball of golden light floated out of the golden lotus, enshrouded in a holy aura.
The golden ball of light exuded a fragrant aroma, and faintly let out a clear sword cry. A silhouette that was even whiter than the snow-white wilderness slowly walked out of the ball of light.
The figure had the appearance of a six or seven year old girl. Her facial features were so exquisite that they didn't seem human. She was wearing a princess dress that didn't have any other color embellishments other than white. Her exposed skin was even whiter than the princess dress, but it was so white that it was tender and smooth like the finest jade.
Her waist-length hair was also snow-white in color. Other than her black eyebrows, pale golden eyes, tiny nostrils that were nearly invisible, and pink cherry lips, there was no other color other than white. However, the whiteness was not monotonous. There was a hint of red in the whiteness, or pure white like snow, or lustrous white like jade. It could be called a visual feast of whiteness.
Shi Xiaobai was taken aback. The snow-white loli that suddenly appeared from the golden light was none other than the little sword spirit he had named 'Little Black'.
The little sword spirit rarely appeared, and every time, he had to stab at the golden pattern on the back of his hand to summon her. Why did she suddenly appear this time?
Just as Shi Xiaobai was about to ask, he saw the little sword spirit immediately walk towards him the moment she landed. He immediately sensed something amiss.
The adorable face that made people want to reach out and pinch did not have a hint of the cuteness a little loli should have. It had a cold and angry expression, making her look like an angry girl.
The appearance of a six or seven year old girl and the expression of a girl were completely incompatible.
"You are so silly that This Sword Spirit can't bear to watch any further!"
Before Shi Xiaobai said a word, the little sword spirit had already spoken. Her voice no longer had the childish cuteness from before. Instead, it was cold and bright, like pearls of various sizes falling onto a jade plate.
Shi Xiaobai was extremely surprised.
The little sword spirit said as she walked, "In the beginning, I only wanted you to drip a drop of blood to allow This Sword Spirit to recover, but for some baffling reason, you forced This Sword Spirit to sign a master-slave contract."
"Signing a master-slave contract is fine. At worst, This Sword Spirit could just hide, but you insisted on poking This Sword Spirit out, saying that you want to learn the way of the sword."
"If you want to learn the way of the sword, so be it. What does' the name Little Black is rather cute 'mean? This Sword Spirit hates the color black the most! "
"Hmph, forget about the name. You are after all, This Sword Spirit's master under the contract. This Sword Spirit will cater to your vile tastes. I wanted to pretend to be a naive and obedient little loli, and when I recover my energy, I will part ways with you! "
The little sword spirit's expression was cold as she rambled on, as though she was venting all the 'complaints' she had been suppressing all this while. She walked in front of the dumbfounded Shi Xiaobai and stretched out her delicate hand to point at the pile of black and white fragments on the ground. She said coldly, "But how can you be so stupid? Just for this pile of scrap metal? Do you want to die? "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, his expression finally changed. He looked at the somewhat 'unfamiliar' little loli in front of him and said seriously, "They are This King's swords, not scrap metal!"
The little sword spirit snorted coldly and said, "What's the difference between a pile of inanimate objects and scrap metal? Are you going to eat them or not!? "
Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, "This King will definitely not eat them!"
The little sword spirit stared and said, "Then quickly undo This Sword Spirit's master-slave contract. If you want to die, don't drag This Sword Spirit down with you!"
Shi Xiaobai was taken aback as he asked, "How do you undo it?"
The little sword spirit laughed angrily and said, "This Sword Spirit has never heard of the contract words you used, so how would I know how to undo it?"
Shi Xiaobai fell silent as he recalled the contract words he recited when he signed the contract with Lucifer's Star in the Underworld. It seemed to be —
"Explode reality, shatter spirit, banish this world, abide by the blood oath, serve me as king, become This King's sword, the holy sword that slays demons — Little Black!"
Oh, this contract words seem, seem, seem … to be made up at the last minute …
Although Shi Xiaobai did not believe that it was strange for a contract words he made up at the last minute to become a master-slave contract, he really did not know how to undo the contract.
This was because he had never thought of taking the initiative to undo the contract he had set up.
Shi Xiaobai said with a dry laugh, "This King does not know how to undo it either. But don't worry, This King will not die. Just a tiny bit of poison won't be able to poison This King to death. "
Shi Xiaobai obviously had a final emergency measure. Although he would pay a terrible price, he would not be poisoned to death by the Holy Tree Sin Poison. If not, wouldn't his talk of restoring the black and white swords to their original state just be a bunch of empty talk?
The little sword spirit gave Shi Xiaobai a doubtful glance and said with a grunt, "This Sword Spirit has seen too many of the foolish things you do! Quickly eat this pile of crap … or This Sword Spirit won't feel at ease! "
Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, "This King won't eat it!"
The little sword spirit gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't eat it, think of a way to undo the master-slave contract!"
Shi Xiaobai shook his head once again and said, "This King has no way of undoing it."
The little sword spirit said angrily, "Then quickly eat it!"
Shi Xiaobai said firmly, "I'm not eating it!"
The little sword spirit stared and said, "Are you going to eat it or not!?"
Shi Xiaobai also stared and said, "I'm not eating it! I'm not eating it! I'm definitely not eating it! "
The two of them stared at each other with a firm attitude. However, neither of them planned on 'reasoning' with the other.
Shi Xiaobai only felt that the little loli who was glaring at him was extremely 'detestable'. If not for his hands being extremely stiff due to the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison', as though they were frozen, he would have definitely 'ravaged' her tiny face.
The little sword spirit seemed to sense the 'evil' thoughts in Shi Xiaobai's eyes. After staring at him for a moment, she finally gave in. She slowly lowered her head.
Shi Xiaobai smiled. He knew that although the little sword spirit had used a rather 'selfish' way of saying it, she was worried that he would do something foolish. However, it was indeed a little overboard for her to act like a soft and adorable little loli.
Shi Xiaobai slowly raised his hand and was prepared to give the little sword spirit a pat on the head. At the same time, he wanted to tell the little sword spirit that he would not act recklessly. Even if he did not eat the black and white swords, he would definitely not be poisoned to death.
However, at this moment, the little sword spirit, who had her head lowered slightly, suddenly pounced forward. Her feet landed on Shi Xiaobai's thighs that were sitting cross-legged on the ground. Her petite body leaned into Shi Xiaobai's chest as she raised her fair and tender hands up and suddenly extended towards Shi Xiaobai's face.
The little sword spirit's speed was extremely fast, so fast that Shi Xiaobai was momentarily unable to react.
The little sword spirit snorted coldly as her tiny hands had already pinched Shi Xiaobai's cheeks. With a forceful pinch, her strength was so great that Shi Xiaobai had no choice but to open his mouth.
At the same time, the black and white fragments on the ground seemed to be pulled as they flew towards Shi Xiaobai's slightly opened mouth with a 'whoosh'!
"You have to eat it even if you don't want to!"
The little sword spirit's eyes narrowed slightly. She was clearly a six or seven-year-old loli, but her expression was extremely domineering, like a queen.

(PS: I have a slight fever. I only recovered after sleeping for a day. However, I do not wish to take leave. Hence, I finally managed to finish the first chapter in the evening. I'll work hard on the second chapter and see if I can finish it. If I can't finish it, I'll do it tomorrow at midnight. Although This King is determined and does not need to save up a draft, not having a draft is really f * cking uncomfortable!)
