Saying Thank You Isn't Enough

(Sorry, I got carried away. I actually wanted to get Dark Souls before...)

Bai Ye pushed open the door and walked out of his bedroom.

Texas, who had been reading on the sofa, looked up when she heard Bai Ye. She froze when she saw him, then asked with an odd expression, "Why were you practicing swordsmanship in your bedroom?"

Bai Ye was initially puzzled, but then he understood—he had received the inheritance of [Life Two-Sword Style] in the courtyard of Hakugyokurou and practiced swordsmanship with that old man for a long time. After his soul returned to his body, the lingering sword intent had come back with it.

So, in Texas's eyes, Bai Ye's presence was terrifyingly sharp at that moment.

Texas pressed her lips together. She still vaguely remembered the boy from three years ago, at the training grounds they had rented in Columbia, who did not even know how to hold a sword.

Bai Ye controlled his aura and slowly reined it in, returning to his usual appearance.

"Stop messing around. Give it back..."

Texas snapped out of her shock and tapped Bai Ye with an amused, helpless look.

"Don't eat any more.
