Chapter 503: Crescent Valley

Translator: 549690339

“Why are you here?”

Jiang Beiran asked curiously as he looked at the panting Lin Yuyan. Pointing at the White Mist Sword, Lin Yuyan replied,””lt was Xiao ‘er who suddenly flew out.”

“Xiao ‘er?” Jiang Beiran asked as he glanced at the White Mist Sword. “Yes, this is the name I gave it. It’s called Lin Xiao.”

Jiang Beiran held back his urge to ridicule her, grabbed the hilt of the White Mist Sword and said to Lin Yuyan,””Take it.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Lin Yuyan caught the White Mist Sword and was about to put it back into the sheath when she saw it return to her senior brother’s side. It was still hanging on her waist, pretending to be her senior brother’s sword.

Glancing at the Cloudmist Sword at his waist, Jiang Beiran turned to Lin Yuyan and asked,’”‘lt doesn’t listen to your commands?”

“That’s not true. Usually, it’s quite obedient. This time, it’s probably because of Shixiong that Xiao ‘er isn’t obedient.”

“You are the master of the White Mist Sword. If it doesn’t even listen to you, how are von going to control it in the future?”

Lin Yuyan said helplessly, “”1 have no choice. Senior brother, you also know that it is really too powerful. I have no way to forcefully order it…”

Jiang Beiran had only heard that a magic treasure could help its master better after it gained sentience. He had never thought that a magic treasure could grow stronger than its master.

‘It seems that having a powerful treasure isn’t necessarily a good thing.’

Having noted this down, Jiang Beiran looked at the White Mist Sword at his waist and said,””Go back to your master.”

However, the White Mist Sword did not move at all. It acted as if it was just an ordinary iron sword that could not understand human language.

Seeing that his reasoning was not working, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to grab the hilt of the sword and toss it to Lin Yuyan.

However, when the White Mist Sword was thrown into the air, it flew back to Jiang Beiran’s waist with a whoosh and continued to pretend that nothing had happened.

“Hey…”

Jiang Beiran had ten thousand ways to intimidate others, but he really couldn’t do anything about a scoundrel’s sword. Be reasonable, it was just a sword, why should he reason with it? Come on, it was made by him after all. Could he really break it?

Sighing, Jiang Beiran picked up the White Mist Sword and asked,””You want to leave with me?”

The White Mist Sword hummed as if it was giving an affirmative answer.

At this moment, Lin Yuyan said,” Senior Brother, Xiao ‘er must be like this because he misses you too much. He will definitely be fine as long as he stays by your side for a while.””

Glancing at the White Mist Sword, Jiang Beiran was about to speak when three options popped up.

[Option 1: Bring Lin Yuyan to Liang Country. [Completion Reward: Azure Dragon Spiritual Code (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 2: Force White Mist Sword to follow Lin Yuyan back. [Completion Reward: Peach Blossom Demon Manual (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 3: Leave the sword and let Lin Yuyan go back. [Completion Reward:

Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

Looking at the three options, Jiang Beiran was a little shocked. He did not expect bringing Lin Yuyan along to be such a dangerous thing.

At the same time, he also realized that the reason why he had been so successful in the Sheng Country was not only because of his strength.

This time, after he returned to the Sheng Kingdom, no matter who he interacted with, he didn’t skip the options. This was a stark contrast to the past when he could trigger more than a dozen options just by visiting a village.

This was not only because he had become stronger, but also because he now knew almost all the big shots in the country. His network was enough to cover the entire country, so whether it was in the open or in the dark, the people in the country who could threaten him could be counted on one hand.

This meant that even if the overall strength of the Liang Country was similar to that of the Sheng Country, it did not mean that Jiang Beiran’s trip to the Liang Country would be smooth sailing. The choice that Lin Yuyan had made was a sign.

After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran picked up the White Mist Sword and said,””Sigh, I really can’t do anything to you.”

Lin Yuyan was overjoyed when she heard that. Just as she was about to go up and take the sword, she saw her senior brother hanging the sword on his waist and saying to her, “In that case, leave the White Mist Sword with me for now.

I’ll return it to you when I return.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Strength +1]

Seeing the system reward pop up, Jiang Beiran flew into the sky on a cloud.

“Huh?”

Lin Yuyan shouted as she watched the lucky cloud leave leaving quickly, “Xiao

‘er, follow the plan! Act according to the plan!”

However, even when the auspicious cloud disappeared from her sight, the White Mist Sword did not respond to her call.

“Traitor!”

When she thought of Lin Xiao happily rubbing against her senior brother, a murderous aura gushed out of Lin Yuyan’s body.

‘Lin…Xiao… Hehehe, hehehehe…’

Lin Yuyan let out a sinister smile as she slowly condensed the murderous aura that had gushed out.

“Do you think that I can’t do anything to you just because you were given to me by my senior brother…” As she spoke, Lin Yuyan held her chin with her right hand and gently bit her pinky. She smiled and said, “Looks like we have to confirm our master-servant relationship.”

Due to the recent friction between the two countries, the border control between the two countries was particularly strict. However, compared to the Qi Kingdom’s National Defense Formation, the border control between the two countries was like child’s play. Jiang Beiran easily passed through it.

Flying over the land of Liang, Jiang Beiran’s greatest impression was that it was desolate, with endless deserts everywhere.

Even though Jiang Beiran had read about this in his report, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes..
