Ren Baqian held the broken saber in one hand and the tip of the saber in the other. He cursed inwardly. What happened to this precious saber? It broke with a flick of the saber? It was broken by the empress's saber at a spot five centimeters inwards …
Could it be glued with all-purpose glue? Or should it be melted down and reforged?
"What's the secret?" The empress looked curious. She sprinkled salt and cumin on the wound in Ren Baqian's heart.
"Your Majesty … This was originally a precious saber … Now it's broken …" Ren Baqian's heart ached.
"A precious saber? I couldn't tell," the empress replied noncommittally.
"Sigh …" Ren Baqian sighed. His mind was filled with thoughts on how to reattach the saber and whether it could still be used.
He said helplessly, "I accidentally discovered that this saber can change its length with my thoughts after being stained with blood. I thought it was a treasure and came to gift it to Your Majesty. I didn't expect it to break."
"Change its length?" The empress found Ren Baqian's words strange, but she didn't find anything special about this saber.
"At least it can change its length, but I don't know if it can still be used." Ren Baqian pondered and cut his arm with the saber. Blood flowed directly onto the saber.
The first time he cut himself, he was still afraid of pain and clenched his teeth for a long time.
The second and third time he cut himself, even though he was still afraid of pain, he didn't hesitate anymore.
Now that he had cut himself, Ren Baqian felt that it didn't matter anymore. He didn't show any mercy and didn't even frown. He didn't even realize that he had awakened some strange attribute.
The empress frowned slightly when she saw Ren Baqian's actions. She then focused on the saber in his hand.
"Grow … grow … grow!" Following Ren Baqian's thoughts, the saber gradually elongated in the empress's eyes, from less than one foot to two feet long.
The empress exclaimed softly. It was actually true.
However, even though the saber was elongated, the front end was still broken. Ren Baqian held the broken saber and thought that since it could change its length, it definitely wasn't an ordinary saber. Now that there was still blood on it, he wanted to see if the tip of the saber could reattach itself.
If it was an ordinary saber, it definitely wouldn't work. However, Ren Baqian still had some expectations for this saber.
Ren Baqian connected the blades together. As the blood was gradually absorbed by the blade, the crack at the joint gradually shrank until it was as thick as a strand of hair. Although there was still a crack, when he released one of his hands, the entire blade was connected together and didn't fall off.
"Success!" Ren Baqian was overjoyed at the unexpected good news. He thought that this treasured saber would die before it could be used. Unexpectedly, it could be retrieved by itself. It was indeed a treasured saber.
Ren Baqian hurriedly sprinkled some more blood on the saber. The hair-thin crack gradually faded and finally disappeared. The saber became the same as before, but the gap on the blade was still there.
"Your Majesty, it's indeed a treasured saber. You actually managed to retrieve it." Ren Baqian happily handed the saber to the empress with both hands.
At this moment, the empress was also somewhat interested. She took the saber and examined it carefully. At this moment, the saber was two and a half feet long. The original rust on it had also disappeared. There was a cold gleam on the blade. The only flaw was that there were a few rice-grain-sized gaps on the blade.
Just now, she personally saw the saber grow from one foot to two and a half feet. She also personally saw the tip of the saber being reattached. Naturally, she knew that this saber was indeed not an ordinary saber.
She tapped the tip of the saber on her fingertip. A white dot appeared on her fingertip.
Then, she used the saber to cut her palm. A white line appeared on her palm and disappeared in a flash.
"Your Majesty …" Ren Baqian was first shocked by the empress's actions. Soon after, he was speechless. Even though this saber couldn't cut through iron like mud, it couldn't be considered blunt either. When he cut his body, his flesh was split open. Yet, when it cut the empress's skin, it actually only left a white line. It couldn't even penetrate her defense.
He grabbed the empress's wrist and felt the temperature of her palm. Her skin was exquisite and smooth. It seemed to be no different from that of an ordinary girl. At most, her skin was a little better.
It was really hard to imagine that the empress's skin could actually only leave a white line after being cut by a saber. She was so powerful that she simply didn't seem like a human.
The empress used her strength to cut her palm again. However, the white line only lasted for a little longer. After that, it slowly returned to its original state.
Two fair fingers cut the saber's body. "Pa!" A soft sound was heard.
"Clang!" More than half of the saber's body fell to the ground.
Ren Baqian, "…"
Treasure saber, you died so miserably!
"Its sharpness and hardness are ordinary. Other than being able to lengthen and shorten, it's no different from an ordinary saber. Keep it for fun," the empress said indifferently. Even though it was somewhat novel, the empress lost interest in this saber after trying it out.
Ren Baqian looked at the saber that had fallen to the ground and was somewhat speechless.
Treasure saber, you are really too disappointing.
You broke it with just a touch. Are you here to extort money?
To think that he thought that he had obtained a treasure previously.
At present, it could indeed be considered a treasure. However, other than using it for fun, it didn't seem to have much use. If this saber was used as a weapon, it wouldn't immediately break after a single slash.
Ren Baqian picked up the saber. He thought that since the empress didn't want it, he would bring it back to Earth to study it. He wanted to know what exactly was going on with this saber.
"Your Majesty, do you want to play a game?" Ren Baqian suggested excitedly when he saw that the empress was bored to death in the palace.
"What is it?" the empress asked casually. She wasn't too interested in it.
“KOF！” Ren Baqian took out the bag that contained the laptop previously. There were two game controllers inside. He had prepared these the previous time as he thought that if the empress was bored in the palace, she could also play some games.
"Your Majesty, this should be done like this … like this … like this …" Ren Baqian sat side by side with the empress and taught her how to operate the game controllers.
Seeing the small figure that appeared on the laptop screen, the empress finally became a little more energetic and began to focus her attention.
One hour later …
"Perfect!" A sound was emitted from the laptop.
"Pa!" The game controller in the empress's hand turned into a pile of fragments and fell to the ground.
"Boring!" The empress's pretty face was almost raised to the sky with a look of disdain. As she loosened her grip, all the fragments in her hand fell to the ground.
Ren Baqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Your Majesty, aren't you too much of a sore loser?
The last time they played checkers, she smashed the checkers into powder with one slap. This time, she also smashed the game controller into pieces.
Next time, it would be better to play Contra. He didn't know if the character would directly smash the laptop into pieces after death. Looking at the empress's past two times, it wasn't impossible. It was full of dark history.
Fortunately, the empress didn't smash the laptop this time. Both of them could still watch a movie.
After lunch, it was time for Ren Baqian to practice martial arts.
Just as he was about to pack his things, his gaze fell on the treasure saber that he had just broken. Suddenly, he discovered something that made him dumbfounded.
The end of that short saber was only about ten centimeters long and was slightly shorter than before. And the part that was broken was still the same length as when it was first broken. It was about a foot long.
"Your Majesty, look!" Ren Baqian was shocked as he picked up the broken saber. For a moment, his mind was filled with a magical melody.
"I have a beautiful wish
When I grow up, I can sow the sun
Sow one by one is enough
Will bear many, many suns
One for the South Pole
One for the Arctic Ocean
One to hang in the winter
One to hang at night
La la la, plant the sun
La la la la, plant the sun
La la la la la, plant the sun "
The magical melody kept reverberating in Ren Baqian's mind. All he had to do was to replace the word "sun" with "treasure saber".
If the broken part wouldn't shorten, would he be able to grow this saber by watering it with blood?
As long as he watered it with blood, it would lengthen and then be cut off.
Ren Baqian was shocked. This was simply a magical weapon! Why would he still need to mine iron? He just had to plant the saber.
