Plop!
That was the sound of the ax dropping to the ground. It was loud even on the noisy battlefield.
Everyone was frozen in place with wide eyes. They looked like they were in disbelief.
Especially Tu Jiu’s army. They conquered battles alongside Tu Jiu, so they knew how powerful the ax was. They were sure they would win. However, the ax broke!
Tu Jiu pulled back, looking dumbfoundedly at the remaining half of his ax. It was like his mind had not come around yet. He still could not believe what happened.
The treasure given by the Lord Demon God…was broken?
He looked at Rich’s saber sword. It was still shiny without any cuts or damages.
Rich and the others were also stumped.
They could tell that the ax was extraordinary. They were ready to die with a fight. They had planned to go down with Tu Jiu.
However…they might win for some weird reason!
Rich looked at his saber sword. It was ordinary but it was shinier than most swords. However…it sliced the giant ax in half.
“This… This sword was personally made by Mr. Li!” mumbled Rich. He had sparkles in his eyes and he was instantly joyful.
His voice was trembling because he got too excited. He said loudly, “King, this sword was made by Mr. Li.”
Zhou Yunwu took a deep breath and calmed down. He said in a sentimental voice, “I know.”
“Mr. Li’s the Chosen One. He gave us the ultimate weapon! Everyone, follow me, kill!”
“Kill them!” yelled the soldiers. It was as if they all had steroid shots. They fought back hard.
“This sword was made by Mr. Li. It’s the first steel-infused saber sword to ever exist. Today, I’m willing to kill them all with this sword!” He caressed his favorite weapon and sprinted towards Tu Jiu.
The battle was one-sided. It was obvious who was going to win.
Tu Jiu could be heard from the battlefield. He sounded frantic and mad. “Just you wait. I’m going to go back and pick a decent weapon. I’ll be back to kill you all!”
“We won, we won!”
Everyone was flushed from excitement and drenched in blood. They celebrated.
Rich wiped his saber sword and mumbled, “My King, we won.”
He could not believe it. They won the battle because of one weapon. They managed to turn the situation around.
Moreover, that victory was the first time they stopped the enemy. It could change the course of the war!
The saber sword…was too important!
Zhou Yunwu picked up the sword and said, “From now on, this saber sword is the kingdom’s treasure. It carries the Luck of the Xia Kingdom!”
The expert’s writings were the Faith of the Kingdom!
The sword made by him was the Sword of the Kingdom!
The golden advice from him was the Legacy of the Kingdom!
Zhou Yunwu suddenly thought of what Meng Junliang said. Li Nianfan was beyond it all but he still came to the Immortal Realm, not for anything else besides passing on his knowledge, preaching… The Answer!
Rich clenched his jaw while he watched the fleeing figure. He said, “It’s too bad we let Tu Jiu escape.”
“It won’t happen next time!” Zhou Yunwu was determined. “I won’t let Mr. Li down!”
Rich asked, “My King, this is our first victory. Should we tell the expert about the good news?”
“Do you need to ask? Of course!”
Demons were causing a violent ruckus in the Southern area.
Amon and Backo frowned at the same time.
Amon had a red glare. He screamed, “That useless Tu Jiu. How did he lose with the ax I gave him!”
“It’s apparent that someone butted in!” sneered Backo. He said, “I told you. It’s not going to work if we only rely on army expansion. We’ve wasted too much time!”
Amon screeched, “We’re not waiting anymore! We, the demons, should move. Find the targets. We have to destroy the sects that have demon entrances! Two birds in one stone!”
Backo immediately said, “We don’t need to look for it. There’s a famous one, Azure Ville. I think Yuecha’s there!”

“Really?!”
Amon was shocked. He angrily said, “How dare someone use the demon seal as their local marketing. How dare they?! What are we waiting for? Let’s annihilate them!”
“They look down on the demons. So we have to show them how cruel we are!”
Backo added, “Also, about the Human Sovereign. We have to deal with him when we can.”
Amon said, “He has a high status and great Luck. It won’t be that easy to make a move. We need to report it to the Lord Demon God and set up a good plan.”
At the four-part architecture.
In the morning.
Li Nianfan walked out of the room and comfortably stretched. “What a good night’s sleep. I feel re-energized.”
Then, he was taken aback.
He rubbed his eyes to look closely.
Damn. Why was there a little girl in the yard? She looked pretty and quirky. She also had bubbles on her face. She was doing the laundry very seriously, washing the clothes hard with her little hands.
Where did the child come from?
The little girl saw Li Nianfan. She immediately said, “Brother.”
Her voice was soft and adorable.

“You’re…”
Li Nianfan walked over. He then noticed that the little girl’s neck was covered with a thin layer of shiny scales. There were scales on her wrist, too, but it did not look weird. Instead, it looked kind of like accessories.
“Yesterday… Carp Demon? You can transform into human form?”
The little girl nodded. She stood up and thanked him, “Thank you, brother, for saving my life.”
“You’re welcome,” laughed Li Nianfan. He felt kind of bad. He asked, “Why are you washing the clothes?”
The little girl pouted and pitifully said, “Sister Fire Phoenix told me to. She said she was trying to teach me.”
“Morning.”
The Fire Phoenix walked out of the room. She looked at the little girl who was pretending to be pitiful and said, “Since I said I was going to train her, I’m going to start when she’s young. Don’t be fooled by her obedient demeanor. She’s quite naughty.”
No wonder.
The Fire Phoenix was her teacher. It was not hard to teach her how to have a human form.
She was not fully in human form though. The little girl still had her scales and her red tail peeked out from under her clothes, too. It wiggled from left to right. It was quite funny.
He felt bad for such a cute little girl, but the Fire Phoenix was her Master. He could not do much since it was part of her training.
He smiled and reminded, “Kids, right? It can’t be helped if they’re a bit naughty. Don’t tire her out.
“Oh, yeah. What’s your name?”
“I’m Dragin.”
“Dragin? Like Dragon? Like the popular saying, ‘the carp has leaped through the Dragon’s gate’. What a nice name,” complimented Li Nianfan.
He stood aside and watched Dragin as she washed the clothes. Then, she carried the wooden bucket and clumsily laid the clothes out to dry.
Dragin wiped her hands and proudly examined what she did. Before she could smile, the Fire Phoenix said, “Next, go water the plants in the backyard. After that, chop more firewood.”
Instantly, Dragin looked upset.

Li Nianfan could not help but smile.
He looked at Dragin and thought of the times he was constantly exploited by the System. Thinking back, it was quite relatable.
‘Work hard. It’ll be your time to order others around when you grow up.’
“Brother, I was injured yesterday,” pouted Dragin. She rubbed her little belly and pretended to be pitiful. “So hungry.”
“Rest for a while, then. Don’t worry, your brother won’t let you starve!”
Li Nianfan laughed loudly and said to Xiao Bai who was frying eggs, “Xiao Bai, add two more eggs for breakfast!”
