Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 223: Sumeru Mountain, Charm Talent

Ancient Fairy trembled, and she immediately wanted to refuse.

But then, a stream of Dragon Soul Energy surged into her. It was like a fish to water. The moment it flowed into her bloodline, a mysterious and astonishing change occurred.

"HUMMM—"

Her bloodline seemed to vibrate, as if an incredibly terrifying Charm aura was awakening from the depths of her soul.

In that instant, her consciousness seemed to enter an ancient, enormous mountain range that stretched to the heavens.

An ancient Dao Sound manifested within the mountain range. On a massive, ancient mountain, two ancient words flickered into view.

"Sumeru Mountain—"

Those two words glowed continuously, shimmering with a formidable Dao resonance.

This halo, this Dao resonance, continuously battered Ancient Fairy’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit. It felt as if the Spiritual nature and ancient Divinity from the depths of her bloodline were beginning to awaken.

"Master."

Ancient Fairy’s gaze gradually cleared, and her eyes shimmered with a resplendent, divine light.

She called out softly. Her eyes were so clear they were almost chilling, like a peerless Spiritual Spring.

But her eyes held a profound sense of gratitude, and an air of being completely carefree.

In this moment, she was just like the projection of Ancient Fairy that Ye Tianling had once seen—peerlessly divine and inviolable.

Her Spiritual nature, her divine radiance, the grace and air of an Unparalleled Divine Lady—Ye Tianling simply couldn’t resist. He instinctively leaned in for a kiss.

But Ancient Fairy giggled and dodged away. "Master," she teased, "your Talent is peerless, but you’re easily influenced by powerful bloodlines. You have to snap out of it!"

"If I were a bad person, you’d be in real danger. Do you understand, Master?"

As Ancient Fairy spoke, a unique thread of divine power swirled in her eyes.

Her eyes were like liquid pools, her flirtatious gaze flowing. She was indeed wielding her Charm Ability to its absolute fullest.

Moreover, she was throwing the very words Ye Tianling had said to her right back at him.

Ye Tianling’s heart skipped a beat, and he sobered up considerably. A wry smile touched his lips. ’Yes, Ancient Fairy’s aptitude is extraordinary. With the help of my Dragon Soul Origin Power, she integrated it quickly and underwent some kind of change. Her Charm Ability transformed in an instant, becoming peerlessly potent.’

Caught off guard, Ye Tianling had indeed fallen for her trick.

And clearly, Ancient Fairy had done it on purpose.

She had deliberately used her Charm on her Master and was feeling an exceptional sense of accomplishment because of it.

Ye Tianling, however, felt very pleased, and his mood improved greatly.

’This is the Ancient Fairy who will be the true future Goddess of the Jade Fox Race, a peerless prodigy!’

As Ye Tianling thought this, Ancient Fairy moved like a flash of lightning, taking the initiative to lean in again and boldly plant a kiss on his lips.

Though it was as light as a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface, it left behind a delicate fragrance, sweet as a Spiritual Spring, making Ye Tianling’s very soul tremble.

"Master, snap out of it!" she chirped. "Are you regretting not making your move earlier? Too late! I won’t be dazed by you anymore, Master."

Ancient Fairy was incredibly smug, yet also a little shy.

After all, offering a kiss so boldly had made the young woman’s heart pound in her chest.

’Mm, good thing Master is dense as a block of wood. He has no idea how much I... how attracted I am to him. Hehe, I can’t tell him, or he’ll get cocky.’

As Ancient Fairy mused, she found she wasn’t concerned about the Holy Soul either.

Before, she had actually been a little afraid of the Holy Soul, Yue Lintian, but now, she truly wasn’t scared at all.

It was as if she feared nothing, as long as her Master, Ye Tianling, was by her side.

Ye Tianling was in a great mood now, too. He really couldn’t use his Soul Talent or anything of the sort to sense what Ancient Fairy was thinking.

He couldn’t do it before, and he still couldn’t do it now.

However, he could still get a general idea of what she was thinking.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but smile. "That’s right, but I have no regrets. Not only did I get Fairy’s first kiss, I also learned her ’size’."

Ye Tianling’s shameless words made Ancient Fairy blush furiously.

"What the hell, what are you two doing? Showing off? Fairy, I’m your Master too!"

Wan Jimie was practically driven mad with jealousy.

Especially seeing Ancient Fairy—whom he had painstakingly cared for and protected like his own daughter—being taken advantage of by Ye Tianling like this. He wanted nothing more than to seal Ye Tianling in a latrine pit!

He couldn’t help but mutter under his breath. After all, he was still standing before the Holy Soul Moon Ascending Heaven and didn’t dare act out of line.

’Sigh, the might of the Holy Dao is not to be trifled with!’

"What are they doing? Flirting, obviously. You can’t even tell? You’re really getting senile."

Que De paid no mind to Wan Jimie’s fragile, nearly shattered heart. His direct jab was like twisting a knife in a heart already riddled with wounds.

"You—"

Wan Jimie was so furious he could have died.

"Heehee, Master Jimie, I like you too," Ancient Fairy said sweetly with a giggle. "You’re kind and approachable, just like a grandfather, and you’re so good to me."

"Grandfather..."

Wan Jimie took 10,000 points of critical damage and nearly choked.

’Am... Am I that old?’

’Fairy, couldn’t you have just called me ’Uncle Jimie’? This old man’s heart would have felt a little better.’

"Haha, so you really are from the grandfather generation! You old fossil, haha! See, Fairy treats me better."

Que De was incredibly smug.

"That’s right, Grandpa Que De is good to me too. When I’m sad, I just have to look at your two little tufts of whiskers twitching, and I immediately feel better. And whenever you have something sad to share with me, Grandpa Que De, it makes me especially happy."

Ancient Fairy’s words made Que De freeze. Then, he felt like he could cough up a mouthful of blood.

’What the hell? "Grandpa Que De"?’

’I, Que De, am so handsome! Countless female rats, so beautiful they’d make the heavens jealous, flock to me! I can’t even chase them away!’

’My charm is on par with yours, you know? So how did I become a grandpa? Aren’t I a dashing stud?’

’And what’s this about my unhappiness making you happy when you’re sad? So my misery is your good time?’

’What the hell kind of twisted logic is that?!’

The expression on Que De’s ugly face was a sight to behold, and his already dark complexion grew even darker.

"Yes, just like that! Your face has so much character, it’s so unique, not like anyone else’s. It’s so... comical—oh, Master Que De, why are you glaring and puffing out your whiskers? Heehee, I can’t hold it in anymore, please let me laugh for a little while longer."

Ancient Fairy spoke her mind freely.

Que De understood the truth and was so crushed he could have just killed himself.

’She’s f*cking calling me, Lord Que De, hideously ugly, so hideous she can’t bear to look, and that’s why she’s so happy!’

’Humans are an incomprehensible species. How could they understand the aesthetic standards of us rats?’

’Whatever, I’m not going to argue with her. What does a little girl know anyway?’

Que De grumbled endlessly to himself, forcing down his feelings of injustice.

"HAHAHA—"

Wan Jimie couldn’t hold it in any longer and nearly choked on his laughter.

The corner of Yue Lintian’s mouth twitched as he shot a look at the two ’idiots.’

’These two are Unparalleled Sword Ancestors?’

’Half-step Sword Saints?’

’Aren’t they just two morons?’

At his glance, both Que De and Wan Jimie froze, falling silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter another word.

"What are you looking at? Are you threatening them?"

Ye Tianling stopped his playful banter with Ancient Fairy. Seeing how she had eased the tension, his mood improved even more.

However, seeing how afraid Que De and Wan Jimie were of Yue Lintian, Ye Tianling’s annoyance grew.

’What’s with this so-called Sacred Artifact, acting all high and mighty?’

Ye Tianling’s tone was ’indifferent’ as he condescendingly scrutinized the Sacred Artifact’s Holy Soul, Yue Lintian.
