XIAO SHUXIANG'S
75 - The Devil of the Heart (1) [Revised]
Xiao Shuxiang could not help his surprise as this puff of smoke formed the seven men who looked to be 39 years old.
This man's clothes were black jade and looked dignified, had long hair as black as night and blackish-gray eyes.
Such a face with ice-cold eyes. He slightly smiled as he looked towards Xiao Shuxiang.
"YOU ARE..?!"
Xiao Shuxiang shouted as he pointed at the mature man in front of him, he was still unable to contain his shock.
"Hmph, Xiang'Eer... You look so weak, pity,"
"YOU... SHOUXING?!"
Xiao Shuxiang as if not listening to the words of the adult man in front of him, he was too shocked because his Demon Heart was not a reflection of him.
"How Can You Become My Heart Devil, Shouxing?!" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest softly, he was really almost hanging right now.
Shouxing was none other than the spirit of Xiao Shuxiang's Heavenly Heirloom sword in his first life. Of course, he was so shocked to see this demon of his heart.
Xiao Shuxiang sat on the ground while rubbing his face and massaging his forehead. He was unceasingly shocked by fate.
Shouxing slowly walked over to Xiao Shuxiang. With just a glance of his eyes, the ground occupied by Xiao Shuxiang lifted up and formed like a cot.
Xiao Shuxiang himself was not at all surprised by the ground that suddenly moved and lifted. All his shock was drained when he found out that Shouxing was the demon of his heart.
Shouxing sat beside Xiao Shuxiang, he just kept silent while looking at the arid ground in front of them.
Xiao Shuxiang, "I don't believe this..."
"You don't like meeting me?"
"I'm glad to see you again. But I don't like it because you see me in this weak state,"
"But I like it, you look beautiful."
Xiao Shuxiang massaged his forehead, he felt like he was humiliating himself at the moment.
"Shouxing, I'm a man...! Don't say that shitty word,"
"You..hate it?"
"Of course...! You think, my 'pride' is just a display, huh?! All women will never have it even though ascetic for a thousand years..!!"
Shouxing looked at Xiao Shuxiang who was sitting beside him. The look in his eyes pointed at the bottom of Xiao Shuxiang's stomach.
"Now 'he' must be very small..."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched upon hearing Shouxing's remark. With bubbling cheeks, he nodded in disappointment. "You're right, 'my pride' has now shrunk to a dwarf. It sucks..!"
Xiao Shuxiang, "Not only is the size of 'pride' and my body changing, but my practice is also at the lowest level. And now, I even have this damned Rooted Dantian...!"
"I know everything. Everything you've been through up until now,"
Shouxing rubbed Xiao Shuxiang's head slowly, "Since our first meeting. This is the first time I've seen your childlike face and body."
Xiao Shuxiang did not feel any objection as Shouxing rubbed his head. He then looked at the barren land and the pile of dust and ash in front of them.
He said, "I still wonder, how can you be the devil of my heart?"
Shouxing stopped his swab, he also looked at the barren land in front of him.
The look in his eyes was so cold, yet compared to Lan Guan Zhi, Shouxing was clearly more vocal. Although, Shouxing's voice was as cold as her gaze.
"Related..."
"Hm?! 'Related'? 'My regret'?" Xiao Shuxiang stared in bewilderment at Shouxing, he was astonished by this sword spirit speech.
"Far in your heart.You have regrets, Xiang'Er."
Shouxing stared at Xiao Shuxiang, his cold gaze as if it had no effect at all with this boy beside him.
"Huh, ha ha ha ha...! I regret? hmph hahahaha..! Shouxing, listen to me. Xiao Shuxiang had never regretted committing murder, not once! Don't you joke,"
Xiao Shuxiang shook his head as he calmed himself down to not laugh out loud. When was the last time he regretted it? There was nothing in every murder that Xiao Shuxiang had committed, making him feel regret.
"Not murder, Xiang'Er. You're sorry 'that'..."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang directed his gaze, following Shouxing's gaze. On the arid ground in front of them, a thin puff of smoke began to appear and formed an object.
Xiao Shuxiang started to have a serious face, he then gasped when he saw that the puff of smoke turned out to form a sword as black as night.
"That's it..."
"One of the Three Heavenly Heirlooms. Because of your regret about the weapon, it got me here."
Xiao Shuxiang smiled faintly and looked sad. He remembered his last war. Before he used 'Resurrection Path', his Night Star Sword shattered and turned into dust.
"Well, I do regret that. I lost you,"
Xiao Shuxiang looked at Shouxing, "Do you know how I can have my sword again? Or at the very least, I can make you back my sword spirit."
"I don't know how. Perhaps if the sword was just broken or shattered into pieces it could still be repaired. However, the sword turned to dust and all that was left was the grip. And I guess, it's also been ruined because it hit you..."
Xiao Shuxiang held onto Shouxing's hand which was so big and felt cold. "I'm sorry that I destroyed you, is there no other way that we can fight together again? Xiao Shuxiang would not be able to become the 'Destroying Star' without his 'Star'..!"
"But I don't regret anything and I don't want to see you regret it, let alone it's because of me..."
"Many fought over the sword because of its power. All along, every cultivator who brandished it had always filled the sword with grudges and killing intent as well as the desire to be the strongest..."
"... The Night Star Sword was an heirloom of the sky that was in the Black Stream region. Most of the previous owners of this sword were Black Flow Cultivators..."
"... Whoever touches and paddles it, I will change according to the heart of the person. Not many clean-hearted cultivators were able to brandish the sword that had been enveloped by grudges without being affected by it.."
Shouxing said, "I still remember one of the White Flow cultivators who once wore the Night Star Sword by expending all of his pent-up strength. The man filled the Heavenly Heirloom sword with 'Hope'. At that moment, I changed like his nature. But, only one person did not turn me into anyone. That was you... Xiang'Er."
"Is that bad?"
Xiao Shuxiang raised next to his eyebrows, as if he wanted to hear an explanation from Shouxing. This was the first time, he could hear Shouxing talking all this time.
"You never fill your sword with 'vengeance', nor do you fill it with 'hope'. But you can bring out all his power, even greater..."
"A "weapon that has a spirit is capable of controlling whoever holds it. If the weapon continues to be filled with grudges, then the spirit on the sword will become vengeful and bloodthirsty,"
"I will control the mind of the wearer, including if the one who holds it is a clean hearted person. This was because it was difficult to eliminate the grudge on a weapon that was continuously filled with evil. But you made me the real me. I can't even affect you, you freak, Xiang'Er."
"You should say, 'You're special, my lord.' Not even saying I'm 'weird'.."
Xiao Shuxiang protested because he felt he was no longer considered a master by Shouxing.
"I never thought of you as 'Master'."
!!
Xiao Shuxiang twitched his upper lip when he heard Shouxing's revelation just now.
"Then don't call me 'Xiang'Er'..! You've always called me that since then, but didn't acknowledge me as 'Master', you know..!"
"You still don't like being called 'so'? Shouldn't you be called 'Xiang'Er' and not 'Xiao'Er'..?"
"Shouxing, you always debate this even after a hundred years have passed..! Only the person that Xiao Shuxiang admitted-who was allowed to call me by the name 'it'. I allow you to call me that because you are my sword spirit, and be proud..! Because you're the only one in this Continent who has the chance to call me, 'Xiang'Er'..!"
Xiao Shuxiang breathed heavily. The first time, he spoke this much with just two breaths. He was not even aware of being standing up while shaking his waist right now.
"Huh, huh, huh"
"You're satisfied, nagging him?"
"Tsk, so now what? You are now the devil of my heart, and I should now do the cleansing of the devil of the heart.." Xiao Shuxiang started to sit back next to Shouxing.
"Looks, you really want me to go.."
"Of course not, I miss you so much. What if I were just friends with you. So we'll stick together..!"
Xiao Shuxiang hugged Shouxing, he steadied his heart not to do the heart demon cleansing. Only, Shouxing refused.
"I don't want you to end up like you used to. Honestly ... I actually prefer you to have a Rooted Dantian and be weak like this …"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang let go of his embrace while revealing his pouting face to Shouxing. "You have the heart .. I don't want to be weak, Shouxing..! Now a hundred years have passed, and all my efforts have been in vain to destroy this Continent. Especially with my current situation .. Haaah, this is so annoying, as long as you know it..!"
Xiao Shuxiang, "I almost got crushed by a Demonic Beast and almost died at the hands of one of the Brothers Robbers. If not for my ingenuity, this Xiao Shuxiang would have long since met elder Guan Wei and senior Li Fu Chen.
He again said, "I originally had a Defective Dantian, then a Rooted Dantian and now..! I should be stuck in a place that has five thousand rules..! You just don't know what it's like to be Xiao Shuxiang!!"
"Isn't it your fault for using an imperfect style?"
Hick!!
Xiao Shuxiang felt like his head and heart were pounded with arrows of truth when he heard the words from Shouxing.
And instead of being sensitive to this boy beside her.. Shouxing continued his piercing speech.
"Who told you to create a style while lazing around, you even burned a lot of heirloom books without ever reading them correctly."
Hick!
"If you had read all the books about the Rooted Dantian, you might not be as miserable as you are now.."
"You, with all your laziness, that's what made you this way.."
Hick!
"That's it, Shouxing. Had enough. You're sprinkling salt over my wounds..."
Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest, really..! There was nothing he could refute from the words of this grown man beside him.
