The information on the Wedding Dress sword that surfaced before Lu Xun’s eyes was rather limited. Other than the sword’s name being yellow that proved it to be a yellow-grade armament, the other information were all question marks.
This meant that his level was too low for him to examine it.
In games, equipment was usually given grades, but in the past, they all followed this color scheme to signify their importance; the green-grade armaments, blue-grade armaments, purple-grade armaments, and the orange-grade armaments…
Who would’ve thought that the healthy color of green would be disliked after further development? This was why the green-grade armament slowly turned into the yellow-grade armament.
Who doesn’t like yellow?
In ‘Heavenly Earth’, the grades that the various equipment corresponded to were: Ordinary Metal, Enchanted Armament, Spiritual Armament, Celestial Armament, and the Divine Armament. According to the five grades, the color of an equipment’s name followed from: Gray, Yellow, Blue, Purple, and Orange, these were a total of five colors… It was truly a lame setting.
Since the Wedding Dress sword was a yellow-grade armament, then it meant that it was an Enchanted Armament.
In the early stages of the game, Enchanted Armaments were definitely to be treasured for their superiority as compared to Ordinary Metals.
He didn’t care much for it before when he was playing the game using his main account. However, now that a genuine Yellow-grade Armament was placed in front of Lu Xun, he really wanted to look up and ask, “Lady, can I touch your treasure?”
Upon seeing the woman’s movements while carrying him, he was slightly envious.
Ji Li’s qing gong1 wasn’t bad, and she was surprisingly strong, her speed probably didn’t even slow down while carrying Lu Xun, however, she seemed to be anxious.
Lu Xun’s thoughts were running wild. ‘Already so rushed after taking a fancy to me as a Furnace Tripod? This young lady doesn’t know that she should be a bit more reserved, she’s quite impatient. Those who wouldn’t know the situation might assume you’re being hunted.’
After running around crazily for a while, Ji Li was now successfully lost inside a small forest.
Since Lu Xun could see that her little head was repetitively turning left and right, it was obvious that she didn’t know the way.
He transmigrated after all, and unlike inside the game where the map came with the player, he was unfortunate as he couldn’t figure out the directions.
Ji Li’s right hand carried Lu Xun while her left hand held the Wedding Dress sword. She tossed the Wedding Dress sword straight up and then reached out to catch it—this action was somewhat similar to tossing a coin.
The sword’s tip pointed to the left.
Ji Li slightly nodded, and then quickly ran towards the right.
Lu Xun, who was silently observing this small detail became a bit stupefied.
He couldn’t really complain as although he was being carried like this, it was unexpectedly not bumpy.
The young lady probably wouldn’t keep on running blindly in the dense forest anyways. In the end, she’d still have to go into a city. Thankfully, Lu Xun also needed to enter the city, ultimately speaking, their goal was the same.
Wasn’t it quite nice that he himself didn’t need to tire himself?
One could just look at it as riding a mount.
…
Ji Li obviously didn’t know that she was being viewed as a mount.
After shifting around the forest by using the qing gong passed down from her ancestors, Ji Li quickly ran out of blue1.
Ji Li, who only had a little vital energy remaining inside her body, found a rather well-hidden place. She was a bit exhausted now and was thinking to just throw Lu Xun to the side, however, once she lowered her head and saw his face, she cautiously placed him down like he was a frail maiden.
After Lu Xun managed to somewhat freely move again, he tidied his plain cotton clothing and once again sized up the female devil in front of him.
Yes, objectively speaking, she was a female devil!
Since ancient times, the righteous and evil couldn’t coexist. Cultivating an evil technique definitely meant that she was a female devil.
As a veteran player of ‘Heavenly Earth’, Lu Xun knew the majority of the storylines like the back of his hand.
There were a few major turn of events in this world—in other words, it was the so-called Great Chaos—which in reality, actually only had a few ties to these devils, the truth was that the famous and righteous pacts were the ones that stirred it up.
Simply put, there were definitely quite a few evil people amongst those who cultivated demonic techniques, it was wrong to say that all of them would be evil. There were definitely quite a few good people amongst those who cultivated the orthodox techniques, but then again, not all of them would use their abilities for good.
However, from Lu Xun’s standpoint, Ji Li snatched him up as a Furnace Tripod, this automatically placed her on the opposing side.
After all, at the end of her cultivation process, it would kill the person.
Ji Li warily observed the surrounding area before finally letting out a sigh of relief, thinking, ‘Shook them off again thankfully.’
Although she could be counted as a martial arts prodigy, she was still young after all. Besides, not even Hercules could fend against two enemies stronger than him, so because she was outnumbered, she had no other way than to do this.
Even though the Wedding Dress sword in her hand was only an Enchanted Armament (yellow-grade armament) and the cultivation technique in her bosom was a Demonic Cultivation Technique, for those who are martial arts practitioners, these were, in fact, all treasures.
After Ji Li turned around, she discovered that Lu Xun was sizing her up.
The man that she suddenly snatched up was experiencing these things without good cause, however, his expression was still unperturbed, there wasn’t a shred of panic in his gaze.
He was clearly a normal person without a sliver of vital energy in his body, yet he didn’t make a fool of himself.
Simply put, it was like he had already seen the world.
On the way to this spot, Ji Li made several conversational outlines in her head, all of which were threats and promises, however, seeing the way he looked now, she actually didn’t know how to speak up at the moment.
On the contrary, upon seeing her appearance, on top of her obvious display of immaturity and the baffling increase in favorability, Lu Xun felt greatly assured.
“This humble one is named Lu Xun. What is your lady called?” He spoke up first.
Ji Li had originally thought of using a pseudonym, but once she looked at Lu Xun’s fake refined smile, she who had late-stage appearance complex, embarrassingly blurted out, “Ji… Ji Li.”
“Ji Li?” Lu Xun recalled that he hadn’t heard of such a character in ‘Heavenly Earth’, this probably meant that she wasn’t a major character.
Just as when he was about to worm out some facts, his stomach growled again, ‘Gulugulu~’
With Ji Li’s hearing ability, she could obviously hear the growl clearly and couldn’t help but think, ‘No matter how out of this world he looks, he’s still a mortal after all I guess?’
Yet, after the next moment…’Gulugulu~’ her stomach also growled a few times.
Alright… she wasn’t any better than him.
Martial arts practitioners still had an immense difference between the celestials who could abstain from eating for a long time in the legends.
She scooped something from her bosom and fished out a dried cake wrapped in a strip of cloth.
After a moment of deliberation, she decided to split the dried cake in half.
After taking a glance at Lu Xun, she handed him the slightly larger piece. After doing so, she then pretended to be cold. “Here!”
With that being said, she quickly stuffed the dried cake into Lu Xun’s hand and sat by the side, turning her head away and eating her own piece at her own pace without looking at him again.
She wouldn’t look at him in an obvious manner anyways, at most, she would casually sneak a few peeks!
Lu Xun accepted the dried cake, after touching it, he sensed that the dried cake had definitely gotten cold on the inside, yet… the surface still had a sliver of heat.
Moreover, this thing was fished out from her bosom…
Whatever. Whatever! He was already hungry to such an extent, what good would it do to him if he thought too much? As great as heaven and earth were, eating was still the greatest!
Besides, as a normal man, Lu Xun had no reason to dislike where the dried cake came from, not to mention, it was wrapped in a strip of cloth.
