Ice Block Wants to Teach Strawberry Cultivation
"?"
As the divine sword fell into the hand that once held the hammer, he put it away and disappeared from everyone's sight, countless cracking sounds seemed to echo throughout the scene.
What's even more infuriating is that Li Mo took it back and then took it out again, as if showing off, while muttering something like, "Look at you, Hammer Treasure, you're in such a hurry again."
"Hammer Treasure, isn't this sword pretty good too? It's here to join us."
"You're still my favorite. I only use the other weapons occasionally. This sword belongs to Little Moon's master; it's just staying here for a while."
"Right, my son... cough, Ice Block."
Li Mo never dreamed that the first thing he would do after obtaining the divine sword would be to coax Hammer.
Even more outrageous is that he needed the help of Ice Block to coax him.
emmmmm
He was familiar with this kind of plot; it wasn't like the kind in storybooks where the male protagonist was caught in a chaotic love triangle.
Good news! I'm finally experiencing the bliss of having two wives!
The bad news is, he was lying to a fool.
"Right."
The Cold Fairy helped Divine Hammer Little Overlord appease his hammer. Her words were effective, and Hammer Treasure immediately believed her and stopped causing trouble in the Small World.
Then Ying Bing, holding Li Mo's hand, returned to her aloof and cold demeanor as Phoenix Heavenly Empress, while glancing at Princess Yuyang, who was still standing there.
Princess Yuyang felt a chill run down her spine.
She was just about to say, "Li Mo, you don't have a weapon. This princess can get you one in just a few words."
Then Ying Bing went to retrieve the divine sword.
She felt a chill run down her spine.
"Um, it's cooler up there."
She lifted her skirt and quickly returned to Jiang Yu's side. The judges, as well as the manor lord and the higher-ups who had just arrived, finally came to their senses.
Oh, Xie Xuan hadn't come to his senses. He was still sitting there dejectedly, scratching his hair until it looked like dry straw.
It's as if it has lost its soul.
Jiang Yu was no better off. He painstakingly sought to seize the divine sword, take control of the Heavenly Human City, and achieve perfect mastery of the nine orifices, thus entering the Inner Scene.
However, the sword had already been taken by someone with a hammer.
Who could stand this?
"Let's go down and see how to handle this."
Du Wufeng was the first to stand up, and his figure appeared in the square.
The manor lord Xie Yiding, was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and bright, star-like eyes. He wore a blue square scarf on his head and had a melancholic yet sharp temperament. It was clear that he had been a handsome swordsman in his youth.
He sighed and followed him down.
Weapon Forging Conference?
Whether the Hidden Dragon Assembly can even take place is still uncertain, and the outcome of the Weapon Forging Conference is no longer important.
"You're something else, kid. The Hidden Dragon Ranking never makes a mistake in choosing nicknames."
Du Wufeng looked at Li Mo and his first words were praise.
Li Mo, embarrassed, said, "My hammering technique is indeed..."
"I'm talking about the Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul '." Du Wufeng gave him a sour look.
"What should we do now?"
Nangong Min, Xie Yiding, and a group of high-ranking members of the Sword Manor walked over.
"Everyone else is using renowned weapons, but he's using a divine sword to participate in the Hidden Dragon Assembly. I think that's against the rules."
"Moreover, this sword symbolizes the highest honor of ruling over the Celestial Person. If it is taken out without authorization and His Majesty's important affairs are delayed, who among you can bear that responsibility?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Li Mo discovered that the speaker was an old eunuch.
The higher-ups of Sword Manor exchanged glances, and Xie Yiding also frowned, looking at Li Mo, Ying Bing, and Jiang Chulong with a thoughtful expression.
To be able to wield the Heavenly Human Divine Sword signifies that one's talent and skill in swordsmanship are no less than that of the sword's former owner.
Well, at least Ying Bing and Little Jiang are not inferior.
However, the old eunuch represented the Imperial Family, so he couldn't ignore him.
Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa, backed by the Imperial Capital, can never be as carefree and unrestrained as Cloud-Crossing Sword City.
"According to the rules, they must be forged at the Weapon Forging Conference, right?"
Li Mo gripped the divine sword.
"That's right."
"The Heavenly Human Divine Sword was also forged by Master Craftsman Du at the Weapon Forging Conference."
Li Mo was not greedy for the divine sword at this moment.
He squeezed the Ice Block, icy hand in his palm.
"That's true, but it's not this year's cohort."
"The rules don't seem to specify that it has to be this year."
Du Wufeng, always eager for drama, chimed in.
"..."
The higher-ups looked at Nangong Min, thinking to themselves that old dog Nangong really didn't have the ability to preside over the conference.
Nangong Min: "?"
What the hell does this have to do with me? Could you even imagine something like this?
"I am aware that the divine sword belongs to the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa."
Li Mo cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd and said:
"I will use this sword in the Hidden Dragon Assembly. If my opponent has a divine weapon, I will use this sword. If my opponent does not have a divine weapon, I will not draw the sword and will instead find another famous weapon, a hammer, to fight against them."
"After the Hidden Dragon Assembly, how about returning this sword to Heavenly Human City?"
"To be honest, I am ashamed to say that although I have failed in sword practice, I have always loved swords. I only wish to use this sword to fulfill the one thought in my heart. I hope you will grant my request."
The divine sword hasn't recognized him as its master yet.
Even if it has recognized you as its owner, it's impossible to let him take it away like that.
"That's fair, I have no objection."
Xie Yiding nodded slightly and gave Li Mo an approving look.
Despite wielding a powerful weapon, he remained composed and knew how to let go.
The old eunuch wanted to say something more, but a Heaven Patrol Guard landed beside him and whispered something in his ear, causing him to composed himself.
"I have no objections either."
Having reached a consensus, everyone tacitly refrained from saying anything further and continued the process of the Weapon Forging Conference.
Everything seemed to be back on track, but clearly no one in Sword Furnace Square was really focused on it.
Not just here.
The same applies to all viewers in the Imperial Capital who are watching the 'live broadcast'.
For a time, the most frequently mentioned sentence throughout the entire event was probably:
"Li Mo deserves to die!"
Unfortunately, after being purified by the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda, very little of this resentful Power of All Living Beings remained.
Before the conference had even ended, Li Mo, who had already left the Sword Furnace and was heading towards Cloud-Stepping Tower, touched his waist in confusion.
What's going on with the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda? Why is it so hot?
Li Mo casually tossed the small tower into the system's Small World and looked up.
The dimly lit path leading down the mountain was dappled with the shadows of swaying trees, and a stream flowed in the distance.
"Ice Block, is this the path down the mountain?"
Li Mo scratched the back of his head, looking utterly bewildered.
"It seems we've gone to the wrong place."
"Did we really go to the wrong place?"
Li Mo was taken aback, but then thought it made sense. Ice Block's map was full of pictures of him; how could she possibly lead the way?
However, what troubles him even more now is that he has the divine sword in his hand, but he does not have a corresponding Swordsmanship.
If he were to participate in the Hidden Dragon Assembly and his opponents possessed divine weapons, and he were to use this sword against them, who knows what the outcome would be?
"Ice Block."
"Um?"
Li Mo sheathed his sword, sat down by the riverbank, and opened his arms:
I want to hug you.
"..."
"Sister, let me hug you."
Ying Bing pursed her lips and sat on his lap, her face calm and aloof, but her heart was in turmoil.
He doesn't know, does he?
I want to teach him how to grow strawberries...
emmmm
No.
Li Mo held her waist, savoring her soft, fragrant body and listening to her heartbeat. He thought that since Ice Block had such a good talent for swordsmanship, maybe a hug would give him some inspiration.
