Fairy, don't let your golden finger chase after me!

Chapter 87: Oh my god, Watashi... Gugu ga ga!

After awakening the Annihilation Lightning, Dong Mo was in a great mood and was about to take a good rest when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a line of small characters in the corner of the panel.

[Tranquil Mind Sword Technique: ...]

The ellipsis lingered on the panel for a long time.

Dong Mo then remembered that there was still one person he hadn't fed.

Dong Mo cleared his throat and tentatively transmitted the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique within his body.

"Um... Jingxin, would you like a reward too?"

The panel remained silent for a moment, then a line of text popped up.

[Tranquil Sword Technique: Hmph! I don't care for your scraps! You should save your favors for your other lovers!]

Dong Mo: "..."

Well, that stubborn brat is throwing a tantrum again.

Dong Mo scratched his head, somewhat helplessly.

That arrogant temper is really hard to please. He clearly wants it so badly, but he's holding back and just can't bring himself to do it.

Since you're such a stubborn person who won't listen to reason, then I'll have to resort to a tougher approach!

Thinking of this, Dong Mo suddenly smiled. Then, like a blond villain in anime, he prepared to force himself on Dong Mo and force him to practice the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique to improve his proficiency.

However, Dong Mo practiced there for a long time, but the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique remained as unmoved as a block of wood, unaffected by Dong Mo's attempts to win him over.

Ugh... What's going on? Why isn't my affection level increasing?

As Dong Mo was wondering, a system pop-up window for the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique suddenly appeared in front of him again.

The Tranquil Sword Technique rejected you, indicating that its mind was in turmoil and it needed to calm down.

Dong Mo: "..."

Tsk, this young lady is really hard to please.

Dong Mo sighed and gave up trying to persuade him further.

"Fine, since you won't let me cultivate, can't I at least look at other cultivation methods?"

Dong Mo took out the jade slip that Yin Lingsu had given him earlier from his storage bag and began to read its contents.

The jade slip contained a sword manual called "The Bright Sun Severing God Sword".

Upon seeing the title of this cultivation technique, Dong Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow... my cheap master is really generous! He just took on a disciple and immediately gave me this kind of top-tier cultivation technique, enough to start a sect!"

As a gamer, Dong Mo was all too aware of the value of the Radiant Sun Divine Sword!

The Bright Sun Divine Sword is a T1 level sword technique in the game. Even if it doesn't rank at the top level, it is at least at the level of the elite!

The Bright Sun Divine Sword and the Nether Moon Illusion Sword Technique cultivated by Gu Ziyue are originally the same set of techniques. Yin cultivation produces Nether Moon, Yang cultivation produces Bright Sun, and the combined cultivation of Yin and Yang produces the Sun and Moon Yuan Gong Sword.

This is a sword technique created by Yuan Gong, the Great Sage of the White Ape Clan of ancient times. It uses the sun and moon as its guide and yin and yang as its foundation. When practiced to its peak, a single sword strike can sever mountains and rivers, and shatter stars.

The Sun and Moon Yuan Gong Sword is the key to unlocking the Supreme Treasure Book in the later stages of the game!

Dong Mo stared at the cultivation manual in his hand, his eyes shining, almost drooling!

Ah... what a treasure! This technique is amazing! I must learn the Radiant Sun Divine Sword!

Thinking of this, Dong Mo couldn't wait to start practicing the Bright Sun Divine Sword, but he was stumped after only a short time of practicing.

Because the style of this sword technique was too strange, completely different from all the techniques he had practiced before. The circulation of spiritual energy, the way sword intent was condensed, and even the most basic breathing techniques were contrary to his usual methods.

Since I can't cultivate normally, let's try the system!

System! Give me a walkthrough!

Hmph... As long as a strategy guide pops up, I'll show you how awesome I am, even if I'm a god...

Dong Mo tried it, but found that the system could not identify him as a romanceable character.

In other words, he couldn't use "strategies" to quickly improve the progress of this technique, just like he did with the Devouring Heaven True Blood and the others.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and practice according to the instructions in the jade slip, trying to imitate the movements.

Damn it... What era are we living in?! Still practicing ancient cultivation methods!

I want to master this cultivation technique! But this technique won't allow it!

Sigh... Fate! You've won again...

Dong Mo took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and tried to circulate his spiritual power according to the instructions in the jade slip.

[The Tranquil Sword Technique noticed you were practicing another sword technique, and a hint of jealousy stirred within me.]

So... all those vows you made back then were just lies?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. I only possess a third-rate sword technique, and I have a bad temper. How can someone like me expect you to be devoted to her?

As expected... it was too weak; it didn't have the power to keep you here...

Dong Mo stared at the lines of text on the panel, his forehead twitching involuntarily.

Hehe... This arrogant sword technique is quite dramatic. But this arrogant personality with a touch of inferiority is rather cute.

"Hey, don't overthink it," Dong Mo silently told himself. "I'm practicing this new sword technique just to learn more, not to abandon you."

"Besides... when I was undergoing my tribulation just now, if you hadn't blocked that lightning law, I would be a cripple by now."

[Tranquil Mind Sword Technique: ...]

The panel remained silent for a long time, and then...

[Tranquil Sword Technique: Hmph... Stop trying to fool me with those nice words. Go practice your new sword technique, don't worry about me.]

Dong Mo knew what this arrogant young lady meant.

You can practice, but I'm not happy about it.

Dong Mo smiled but didn't point it out.

"Okay, if you have no objections, I'll continue practicing."

Dong Mo attempted to cultivate the Bright Sun Divine Sword once again.

However... Dong Mo soon discovered that he simply couldn't master it.

The pathways for circulating spiritual energy always got stuck halfway through. The way he condensed sword intent was also completely different from his usual methods. He tried several times, but each time ended in failure.

Dong Mo rubbed his hair in frustration, thinking to himself.

Hiss... Why is this broken sword technique so difficult?

Just then, another line of text popped up on the panel.

[Tranquil Mind Sword Technique: Heh... a toad trying to eat swan meat. That kind of high-level sword technique isn't so easy to master.]

Only a sword technique of my caliber would willingly stay with you. When will you finally look at me properly...?

Dong Mo's lips twitched. Well... this arrogant sword technique was about to head in the direction of gravity.

I reckon in a few days she'll form a band, then kneel on the ground and say, "Oh my god, wata shi..."

Finally, it started bleating like a sheep, making all sorts of bleating sounds.

As Dong Mo was internally complaining, he suddenly heard a series of knocks on the door of his room.

Hmm... At a time like this, who could it be?

Judging by the time, Xiao Bai and that silly fox Gu Ziyue should be back by now, right?

As Dong Mo was thinking, he got up and walked to the door: "Who is it?"

However, he had just reached out and pulled the latch...

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly flung open, and a streak of crimson-gold light shot straight toward Dong Mo's face, the sword hilt landing precisely in his palm.

[Phoenix Cry Sword: Young man~ Do you miss your sister~]

Dong Mo looked down at the slightly trembling crimson-gold longsword in his hand, and his face instantly darkened. It was Feng Ling Shuang's natal spirit sword, the Phoenix Cry Sword!

Good grief, I just dealt with that freak, the Purple Nether Sword, and now an even more freakish one has appeared. I must have some kind of karmic entanglement with these sword spirits.

I've just escaped one danger only to fall into another. I really can't live like this anymore.
