"Sealing the saber?"
Ao Jiao was startled, feeling somewhat surprised. However, this was within reason.
She did not feel too disappointed in her heart. Being able to accompany Xiao Chen to the end of the Sky Dome Realm and the Kunlun Realm meant that she had completed her mission long ago.
After coming to this Great Thousand Realms, there were many things that were unfamiliar to her. She felt somewhat out of place.
Actually, the Lunar Shadow Saber was no longer suitable for Xiao Chen. However, because of his feelings and reluctance, Xiao Chen kept using it until now.
As an Item Spirit, Ao Jiao had a master like Sang Mu in her previous life. Now, she had a master like Xiao Chen.
To Ao Jiao, this was already the greatest fortune. With such a life, what was there to be dissatisfied with?
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and gently tapped the saber with his right hand.
The saber trembled, and a buzzing sound came from the air. Ao Jiao paled as she took two steps back.
In that instant, Xiao Chen had severed the final connection between Ao Jiao and the Lunar Shadow Saber.
"Master …"
Feeling a strange pain in her heart, Ao Jiao held her hand over her chest and took a few steps back.
Xiao Chen turned around and placed Ao Jiao in his left arm. Then, he stabbed the Lunar Shadow Saber into the ground.
Ao Jiao's body felt somewhat weak. However, her pale face blushed slightly. She smiled and said, "If I don't call you that in the future, I probably won't have the chance to call you Master again."
Xiao Chen sat down and pulled Ao Jiao into his embrace. He revealed a gentle smile as he looked to the front.
"You know that I have never treated you as an Item Spirit. Along the way, I have experienced many obstacles, many trials and tribulations. If not for your company, how could I have survived until today? "
Xiao Chen lowered his right hand, which held the saber, and grabbed Ao Jiao's smooth left hand tightly.
Ao Jiao felt a gentle warmth coming from Xiao Chen's palm. She looked at Xiao Chen's face, and coincidentally, Xiao Chen's gaze landed on her at the same time.
Their eyes met. There was no need to say many words.
As the gentle breeze blew, Xiao Chen's thoughts drifted. He could not help but think of the scene of Ao Jiao hugging him during the recasting of the Lunar Shadow in Mohe City.
That day, the spring breeze had stirred the young man's heart, and the seed of ambiguity had already been planted.
It was also on that day that Xiao Chen became Lunar Shadow's owner. In front of the Thunder King Sang Mu, he swore that he would not let Ao Jiao shed tears.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen remembered that it was to save Ao Jiao. When he was imprisoned and faced the enemy alone, Ao Jiao cried because her heart ached for him.
If he could do it all over again, Xiao Chen would still choose to imprison Ao Jiao, putting her in danger.
He still remembered the most dangerous seventh layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. The Heart Tribulation was very difficult. Between the real and the fake, he was trapped by a heart demon.
Ao Jiao risked her life to save him, enduring the final Lightning Tribulation alone.
He slept alone, wishing that he would never wake up from that dream, never opening his eyes for ten thousand years!
The relationship between the two was no longer just that of a master and an Item Spirit.
"Ga ga! Ga ga!"
Just at this moment, a few strange sounds that spoiled the mood rang out. Little Yellow Feather stood on a tree branch in the courtyard, its back facing the two.
It looked up at the sky with an expression that said, "I don't know anything, I can't see anything."
Ao Jiao giggled, but she was not willing to get up. "It feels good to be in your embrace. Do you know? I thought a lot earlier. I thought about my previous life and this life. I thought about all the battles I fought for you. If there is a next life, I would really be willing to be the blade in your hand again. "
However, Xiao Chen did not say anything, not saying anything. If there was a next life, he would definitely change his choice.
Ao Jiao spoke softly, and Xiao Chen listened quietly. Most of the time, it was Xiao Chen speaking, and Ao Jiao listening.
However, today, it was the other way around. This was because Xiao Chen knew that their parting might be coming soon.
If Xiao Chen still did not listen, there would be no more chances.
Little Yellow Feather's occasional cries accompanied Xiao Chen's, and he just listened quietly. Night fell, and the waning moon hung high in the sky. The bleak and cold moonlight filled the courtyard.
However, when the moonlight landed on the two, it did not feel cold at all. Instead, they hugged each other even tighter.
At some point in time, Ao Jiao stopped speaking, and Xiao Chen looked over.
Under the bleak and cold moonlight, Ao Jiao's exquisite face looked exceptionally gentle. Her red lips were tender, and there was a faint affection in her eyes.
Amid the affection, there was also a trace of anticipation.
Xiao Chen lowered his head and paused for a moment. Then, he no longer hesitated and kissed those tender red lips.
At this moment, an ambiguous flame ignited with this kiss.
Little Yellow Feather, who was on a tree branch, turned around and entered deep thought. Then, it flapped its wings ferociously. A flame surged out, and as the wind blew, it burned the two's clothes clean.
Under Little Yellow Feather's deliberate control, the flame did not harm the two at all.
However, this only made the ambiguous flame even more intense. Little Yellow Feather nodded in satisfaction. Then, it flapped its wings and soared into the air, not lingering any longer.
After a while, the courtyard was filled with the alluring scenery of spring. The two vented the suppressed feelings in their hearts.
Early the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone down, Xiao Chen opened his eyes with some difficulty. Ao Jiao, who was beside him, was no longer there. When he looked around, the entire courtyard was empty.
There was only a sharp blade flickering with a cold light stuck in the ground.
Xiao Chen put on his clothes and slowly walked over. Then, he pulled the saber out of the ground. As he looked at the autumn water-like luster on the saber's edge, he remained silent for a long time.
"Martial Uncle, why is there another woman in your courtyard? Furthermore, there is a strange yellow-feathered bird with a bad temper."
At some point, Ling Yu had walked in, asking with a confused expression.
Disappointment appeared on Xiao Chen's face as he asked softly, "What happened after that?"
"Master told me to send them off. When they left the Heavenly Shaking Mountain, that girl told me to pass on a message to Martial Uncle."
"What message?"
"She told Martial Uncle not to worry about her. She would help Little Yellow Feather search for its race and unlock some of its final memories. Also … "
As expected, with Little Yellow Feather taking care of her, Xiao Chen did not worry about Ao Jiao's future. He continued, "What else?"
"She said that if Martial Uncle finds another saber, don't forget your original intention and change its name to Moon Seeking."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he felt stunned. His expression turned somewhat stiff and unsightly.
Don't forget your original intention … Moon Seeking. Which moon? Ao Jiao knew, and so did Xiao Chen.
"Where is she now? How long has she been gone …"
After a while, the calm on Xiao Chen's face vanished as he asked impatiently.
"She has been gone for a long time already, almost four hours. She entered the trans-realm transportation formation long ago, but I do not know where she went."
For a moment, Xiao Chen felt disappointed and frustrated, not saying anything for a long time.
"Martial Uncle, are you alright?" Ling Yu asked somewhat worriedly. Later, Martial Uncle still had to go to the Divine Firmament Sect's Thunder Controlling Peak. He did not know how that Shangguan Lei would make things difficult for Martial Uncle.
Given Martial Uncle's current state, the situation was not good.
Xiao Chen forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. I just need some peace and quiet."
Ling Yu left helplessly. Before he left, he shook his head slightly, wondering what Martial Uncle experienced last night.
At the stone table, Xiao Chen took out a cup of wine and started drinking alone in silence.
After this battle, the Lunar Shadow Saber would be sealed, along with the glory of the past. However, many memories would remain in Xiao Chen's heart, something that he would never forget.
"Here's a toast to you …"
Xiao Chen took out the wine and raised his cup to the Lunar Shadow Saber stabbed into the ground.
The saber trembled as though replying to Xiao Chen, I'll offer you a toast as well.
One man and one saber started drinking. The man was drunk, and so was the saber.
In the courtyard, the Lunar Shadow Saber buzzed as it moved in the air, dancing in the air. Scenes of the past appeared in the surroundings. Those were scenes of the past Xiao Chen dancing with the saber.
From the Sky Dome Realm to the Kunlun Realm, and finally, to the battle with Chu Chaoyun.
When the scenes ended, Xiao Chen put down his wine cup and stood up. Then, he stretched out his hand and grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber tightly.
The saber was like an arm, connected by blood and mind.
Looking at the limpid saber, Xiao Chen smiled in satisfaction. Then, he sheathed the saber and walked out of the courtyard.
Hua Yunfeng had been waiting for a long time with the six true inheritors of the Purple Flame Sect.
"I've kept everyone waiting," Xiao Chen said with a cupped-fist salute.
Hua Yunfeng and the other true inheritors knew that Shangguan Lei would make things difficult for Xiao Chen soon. They felt some sympathy for Xiao Chen's misfortune and did not feel upset about waiting.
High in the Starry Heavens, Ao Jiao sat on Little Yellow Feather as they flew to the great realm where the Golden Crow Race was.
The bliss from last night still lingered on her pretty face. Sealing the saber to show her determination was Xiao Chen's new life. How could it not be Ao Jiao's new life as well?
