Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 69: Taibai Phecda: Have I Become the Tragic Romance Antagonist?
The sword Su Yuan grabbed was completely crimson, with blood-red web-like patterns on the blade—a Spirit Sword.
Its name is Chi Yuan Sword, the only Spirit Sword among the Ten Great Hidden Swords of the Celestial Phecda refined using Demon Dao methods!
According to Taibai Phecda’s knowledge, during the forging of this sword, the forger exterminated all the existing Chi Yuan Snakes on Blue Star, channeling their essence and Life Soul into the sword, thus creating it.
No matter how you look at it, this is an utterly Demon Sword.
As a result, the Chi Yuan Sword’s aggression is extremely heavy; anything it cuts is split in two, hence it’s also called "Double Chi Yuan"... ahem.
In short, this is a Spirit Sword that average people absolutely cannot control.
If any ignorant brat dares to mess with this sword, getting chopped is hardly unfair.
Yet, despite being somewhat surprised at this situation, Taibai Phecda wasn’t overly panicked.
With him, a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, here to suppress, the Chi Yuan Sword wouldn’t harm Su Yuan.
At most, it would cut two deep gashes, exposing bones on Su Yuan.
Taibai Phecda was more angry; he had repeatedly warned Su Yuan beforehand to know his limits and asserted those ten Spirit Swords are extremely dangerous.
But this brat seemed to not hear at all, stubbornly deciding to take action on the Chi Yuan Sword.
Doesn’t he treat the Chi Yuan Sword as a daughter?
So Taibai Phecda decided not to stop Su Yuan from making foolish moves, letting him learn the hard way!
Thinking of Su Yuan’s upcoming predicament, Taibai Phecda felt amused.
This brat has charmed his precious daughter so much, he has long wanted an excuse to teach him a lesson.
However, the next thing that happened made Taibai Phecda widen his eyes in disbelief.
Seeing the rebellious Chi Yuan Sword casually taken from its rack by Su Yuan and held in his hand.
The never-sheathed blood-red blade glowed softly without any intention to attack Su Yuan!
This... how is this even possible?
Taibai Phecda was utterly bewildered.
The Chi Yuan Sword’s hostility was too strong, even he, a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, had never fully subdued it, only suppressing with powerful cultivation.
A slip might lead to backlash from the Chi Yuan Sword.
But why did the Chi Yuan Sword become as docile as a kitten in Su Yuan’s hand?
This defies logic and cultivation practices!
Then, another shocking scene appeared that made Taibai Phecda’s eyes almost pop out.
Su Yuan daringly placed his hand on the Chi Yuan Sword’s blade, gently stroking it, sweetly saying:
"So your name is Chi Yuan Sword, what a lovely name."
"Speaking of which, we really have a connection; my name happens to have Yuan too, like we’re family."
Damn it, how do you know the Chi Yuan Sword’s name? I never told you!
Taibai Phecda’s fists clenched harder!
"What? Since being forged, you’ve been kept away by a fierce villain, never seeing blood!"
"That’s so unfair, unlike me, who deals with at least a dozen lives daily and desperately needs a suitable Treasure Sword!"
Am I the fierce villain? Chi Yuan, is this really how you see your old dad?
Taibai Phecda felt anguished!
"Ah, you enjoy being touched here, it feels nice doesn’t it? See how I tickle you, tickle you, tickle you!"
Watching Su Yuan caress the Chi Yuan Sword before him, Taibai Phecda felt heartbroken.
Chi Yuan, don’t be fooled by this brat Su Yuan!
His sweet words are all lies; once he tricks you into his hold, who knows how he’ll treat you; only I am genuine with you!
At this moment, Taibai Phecda was like a distressed father seeing his obedient daughter, whom he forbade from junk food and phones, being lured away by a brat with a cup of milk tea and barbecue.
Heartbroken and regretful!
Why hadn’t he educated Chi Yuan Sword on the hazards of brats?
Why did he invite trouble by letting Su Yuan into his Sword Storage Pavilion?
After an in-depth friendly exchange with Chi Yuan Sword right before Taibai Phecda, Su Yuan brought the Chi Yuan Sword to him, earnestly saying:
"Master Taibai, truth be told, the moment I entered the Sword Storage Pavilion, my heart belonged to Chi Yuan."
"I just chatted with Chi Yuan, and she seems to like me too. Could you entrust Chi Yuan to me? I promise to take good care of Chi Yuan and even provide you support in the future."
Taibai Phecda: "..."
"No, I don’t agree!"
He couldn’t hold back anymore, the old father couldn’t endure it any longer!
He couldn’t stand idly as his precious daughter was taken away by Su Yuan!
"Apart from my Ten Spirit Swords, you can choose any other sword to take, but not Chi Yuan nor the other nine Spirit Swords!"
Taibai Phecda tried to suppress the anger within and spoke expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s hopeful expression immediately dimmed.
He gazed at Chi Yuan Sword with reluctance:
"Chi Yuan, since Master Taibai is your collector, if he doesn’t agree, I’ll have to save up to come and redeem you..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
But before Su Yuan finished speaking, the Chi Yuan Sword suddenly emitted an intense blood-red sword light.
This blood-red sword light wasn’t aimed at Su Yuan but directly rushed towards Taibai Phecda.
The sword light shot out, directly targeting Taibai Phecda’s forehead at the Mud Ball Palace, clearly intending a lethal strike.
Clang—
Taibai Phecda didn’t move, and the blood-red sword light at three feet before his forehead seemed to hit an invisible copper wall, shattered upon impact.
Su Yuan quickly pulled the Chi Yuan Sword aside, reprimanding:
"Chi Yuan, what are you doing? You can’t attack just because Master Taibai disagrees! If you do this, I won’t like you."
The blood-red glow on the Chi Yuan Sword’s blade immediately dimmed, like a child who had done something wrong, sticking closely to Su Yuan’s side, quieting down.
Taibai Phecda: "..."
Though Chi Yuan’s earlier strike couldn’t break his physical defense, it pierced his heart.
Alas, his precious daughter had grown up and no longer listened to her father, even confronting him for a brat.
This hurt more than being slapped by a Nascent Soul Stage giant beast!
Taibai Phecda had to seriously consider the consequences of forcibly keeping Chi Yuan Sword.
Given the chance, Chi Yuan Sword might cause a ruckus, upheaving the entire Sword Storage Pavilion, perhaps chopping up the other stored swords inferior to her.
While Taibai Phecda was silent, Su Yuan couldn’t help but sincerely request again:
"Master Taibai, you see, Chi Yuan can’t bear to part with me; even if you won’t gift Chi Yuan to me, could you lend her to me for a while?"
"I want to take Chi Yuan out to see sights she’s never seen; she really doesn’t want to be shut in this dark Sword Storage Pavilion."
Taibai Phecda: "...Damn it, am I the villain separating the protagonists in a melodramatic romance drama now?"
