Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"This wine is too spicy." Shen Qiao stuck out his numb tongue.

"Really? I think it's okay." Wang You took another sip stubbornly, but finally compromised and put down the wine cup, as if he was unwilling to accept it.

"Try making osmanthus next time."

Shen Qiao sighed and calmly comforted him, "Every profession has its specialties, and brewing wine isn't your specialty. Relax, relax."

Wang You laughed out loud when he heard this. He pushed the wine cup aside and said, "Okay, since you're back early, does that mean you already have your own ideas about the training ahead?"

"Yes," Shen Qiao replied. "I've thought about it. Que Yuan's current form was originally just to accommodate my previous state. It realized that I couldn't control it with my current abilities and realm, so it changed its form and formed a bond with me in a defensive umbrella shape. This isn't its complete form, so... I want to ask Mr. Xu to reforge it."

Wang You narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Shen Qiao would change after accepting those memories, but he didn't expect her to be so decisive.

"Think carefully, once something officially begins, there's no room for change."

"I've made up my mind." Shen Qiao nodded. "I can't avoid it any longer. Instead of hesitating and worrying about what to do next, I might as well just face it head-on. Whether it's a fire pit or a cliff, I have to give myself a chance to see clearly."

Wang You: "Even if you know the result is not what you want?"

Shen Qiao looked at him, and Wang You saw a smile in his eyes. "No, I will definitely try my best to make the result what I want."

"Otherwise... wouldn't it be a waste of all my past lives reincarnated so many times?"

Haha...he just knew it.

Wang You's brows relaxed and he chuckled, "Then I have nothing to say."

He stood up, and with a turn of his wrist, the black sword appeared.

"Let's go through the process."

Shen Qiao looked at the long sword that was already buzzing impatiently and slowly stood up.

"In my previous life, I was young and frivolous. When I first obtained this sword, I felt that once I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes off it. This reminds me of myself. I left my hometown alone at the age of eleven. Seventy-seven years have passed since I was a child, and I have seen the ups and downs of life. However, I still have no regrets and am immersed in the troubles of the world, unable to bear to return."

"For me, these experiences are like a glass of wine. The slight aftertaste after the bitterness is sweet. So I named it..."

"Don't come home drunk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword that had been sheathed suddenly pulled out and stood in front of Shen Qiao.

The bright sword light reflected on Shen Qiao's face. In a flash, the majestic sword energy poured out uncontrollably, as if it had finally got the chance to be released and directly filled the entire room.

In the sword light, Shen Qiao saw a figure with his back to her from the blade. His black hair grew straight down to below his waist, and his black and white robe fluttered in the wind.

"My name is, Drunk and Not Returning..."

The low voice fell directly into Shen Qiao's mind.

The dazzling sword light was instantly retracted, and when he looked again, he saw a young man kneeling on one knee in front of him.

He lowered his head respectfully, held the sword in both hands and handed it to Shen Qiao.

"I have met my lord."

Holy crap… Holy crap!!

Shen Qiao's mind went blank for a moment because of excitement, and she looked at the young man with shining eyes.

Sword spirit... This is Zui Bugui's sword spirit, right?! But she clearly remembered that Chi Musheng hadn't had time to give birth to a sword spirit before he died in battle!

She was both surprised and excited, but she still kept her wits about her shoulders and took the sword from the young man's hand. "I... am back."

The young man raised his head, his silver eyes were pure and clear, he looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, his facial features were particularly delicate, he was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

He looked at Shen Qiao's surprised expression and curled his lips, revealing a very obedient smile, "My Lord."

Oh, her love problem can be cured.

Shen Qiao chuckled and leaned over to help him up. "Don't be so reserved. Just call me by my name."

Zui Bugui shook his head and said seriously, "The master's name should not be desecrated."

Oh... this kid...

Shen Qiao didn't force it. She looked at the sword spirit in front of her, feeling both happy and guilty. "Sorry, I'm late."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang You, who had already dodged to the side. "The previous loss of life happened suddenly. It's just that the spiritual energy left by Chi Musheng doesn't seem to be enough to support Zui Bugui to give birth to a spiritual body."

Wang You understood what she meant, "It's not entirely my fault."

"After he left his home with me, I often took him for a walk around the Naihe Bridge. He had seen several of your previous reincarnations and wanted to see you in spirit form. I simply collected the remaining spiritual power from your past reincarnations to help him."

"Oh, that also counts as the time you died in your last life, but you don't remember the details of your time in the underworld."

In other words, the person before her was someone she had spent four lifetimes reincarnating to...

Zui Bugui lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Qiao, "Does my master like my current appearance?"

Oh no, this question made Shen Qiao blush.

It is said that sword spirits will instinctively transform into the appearance they think their masters will like, so after watching her four reincarnations, has Zui Bugui already figured out the type of person she likes?

She cleared her throat and came back to her senses, pretending to be calm, "Of course I like it."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hands, cupped Zui Bugui's face with both hands, and smiled broadly, "I like him no matter what he looks like."

The young man, who looked a bit naive, was stunned for a few seconds when his face was held up. When he saw Shen Qiao's smile from the heart, his expression softened and he rubbed Shen Qiao's palm like a big cat.

"As long as the master likes it."

Shen Qiao's smile froze, and Wang You beside him unconsciously looked away and drank a sip of tea as if to cover up.

She hadn't come into contact with Zui Bugui for at least a few hundred years, so his instinctive behavior now was all...

"It's not my fault!" Wang You immediately distanced himself from the matter when he received Shen Qiao's gaze.

"I think you haven't recovered your memory yet. Why does this little sword spirit have such a personality..."

Wang You smiled and said, "You should probably ask Chi Musheng. After all, in your past lives, the person he had the most contact with was Chi Musheng."

Chi Musheng... When she was Chi Musheng, she had never come into contact with this kind of personality... Huh?

Wait, she remembered that Chi Musheng seemed to have written some short articles, although she didn’t remember the specific content. Could it be related to this?

"My lord?"

Shen Qiao heard Zui Bugui calling her in a low voice with a slightly uneasy tone.

"If the master doesn't like it, I can change it."

Shen Qiao took a deep breath and barely controlled his lips from turning up.

"No, this is good. Don't doubt yourself."

She patted Zui Bugui's shoulder firmly and said seriously, "Don't worry! I will never let you down!"

Wang You spat out a mouthful of water when he heard this.

What's the "disappointment" or "not disappointment"? Are you really going to keep a sword spirit as a companion?!
