In the Apartment: My Cute Girlfriend

"Help!" Spider was suddenly horrified. She had never seen such a disgusting thing.

"Your screams sound so nice." The green-haired zombie shouted pervertedly.

"Watch this." Butterfly swung the sword in her hand and slashed at him without mercy.

"It feels so good when you cut me." The green-haired zombie didn't care at all and felt very comfortable.

The butterfly and spider fled in a hurry. How could the green-haired zombie give up? He followed the two women.

"While these two girls are distracting the green-haired zombies, let's quickly take the Xuantian Jade Girl Sword Manual and leave. Let's go." The Ghost Doctor quickly seized the opportunity.

Dugu Zhen stepped forward and picked up the sword manual. He was immediately delighted when he saw the words "Xuantian Jade Girl Sword Manual" written on it.

"Got it, got it." The Ghost Doctor was also very surprised. Now there was hope to face Ba Dao.

"I can't open it." Dugu Zhen was just about to open the Xuantian Jade Girl Sword Manual, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it, and he became extremely anxious.

"Don't force it. It will be terrible if you accidentally break it. There must be a unique mechanism. You will know when we go back to wake Wuji up and ask him." The ghost doctor anxiously stopped Dugu Zhen's actions.

"Master, then I will go back with you." Wu Tong followed him directly.

"My little husband, I'll go with you too." Niu Wa grabbed Wu Tong's arm anxiously.

"I'll follow you too." Ren Jianhui held Niu Wa's arm tightly.

"With so many people here, we two won't be a big difference." Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and pointed at himself and Guan Gu Shenqi.

"Actually, I should be considered on the opposite side, right?" Guan Gu Shenqi pointed at himself in confusion.

"Hey, just look at the lineup here and you should know that we are the righteous side." Zeng Xiaoxian patted Guan Gushenqi's shoulder indifferently.

"Why?" Guan Gushenqi looked at Zeng Xiaoxian in confusion and asked.

"That's easy. Stick to your dreams, work hard, and hone yourself day after day for decades. What do you think this is?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

"The protagonist?" Guan Gu Shenqi answered carefully.

"Wrong, that's the villain." Zeng Xiaoxian denied Guan Gu Shenqi's answer.

"What about the protagonist?" Guan Gu Shenqi retorted dissatisfiedly.

"The protagonist is quite a character. He is lazy, idle, has no dreams and lives a life of idleness." Zeng Xiaoxian gave a detailed introduction.

"Can this be considered the protagonist?" Guan Gu Shenqi was very confused.

"Of course, it's just a cheat, like falling off a cliff, being taught skills, magical weapons and armor, lost secret manuals, etc." Zeng Xiaoxian explained nonchalantly, as if they had obtained a treasure today.

"Then why is he the protagonist?" Guan Gu Shenqi was still puzzled.

"When fighting the villain at the end, there will be a flashback, and then a scene of courage and passion. If that doesn't work, then add some legendary bloodline or something, and it will be a perfect setting for the protagonist." Zeng Xiaoxian explained.

"Soga (I see), learn until old age, live until old age." Guan Gu Shenqi nodded.

"Guan Gu, believe me, if you write a comic according to this setting, it will definitely become a hit." Zeng Xiaoxian patted Guan Gu Shenqi's shoulder and advised.

"Haha, I still prefer to draw my own comics, even if no one likes them." Guan Gu Shenqi was firm in his will.

"Then what should I do?" Princess Tianxiang, who was left behind, shouted helplessly.

"Little princess, in order for the Central Plains martial arts world to fight against Tyrant Sword together, we must gather seven girls with excellent martial arts skills to practice the Xuantian Jade Maiden Sword Formation." Dugu Zhen introduced slowly. It turned out that this sword manual was not the martial arts of one person, but the joint martial arts of seven people.

"Practicing sword formation?" Princess Tianxiang asked in confusion.

"I think you should join us and contribute to the Central Plains martial arts world." Dugu Zhen advised.

"Okay." Princess Tianxiang found it quite interesting. With her girlish nature, she had no idea how dangerous this matter was.

"Well, I have a question but I don't know whether I should ask it or not." Zeng Xiaoxian raised his hand and asked in a low voice.

"You ask." Dugu Zhen nodded to signal Zeng Xiaoxian to ask his question.

“Speaking of which, since Ba Dao wants to invade the Central Plains martial arts world, why doesn’t he seek help from the peerless masters of famous and upright sects like Shaolin and Wudang? At the very least, he can notify the court to invite masters from the imperial palace. Even if it’s too late, it shouldn’t be done by a makeshift team like us.” Zeng Xiaoxian pointed at himself and the group of people around him and gave a suggestion.

When the others heard Zeng Xiaoxian's words, they nodded thoughtfully.

"You may not understand this well since you are new to the martial arts world. Once martial arts masters from all over Jiuzhou reach a certain level, they are not allowed to leave their territory at will unless there is an emergency." Dugu Zhen explained to Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Why?" Guan Gu Shenqi was very puzzled by this setting.

"This involves an ancient rumor. A divine artifact lies dormant in each of the Nine Provinces. Legend has it that in ancient times, a crack opened in the sky, allowing demons from outside the realm to continuously pour into this world. Ten divine artifacts were born to meet this calamity. After ten masters, armed with divine artifacts, drove the demons back, nine of the ten artifacts fell dormant in various locations across the Nine Provinces."

Dugu Zhen told the two of them the legend.

"Yes, yes, I have also heard this story in the palace. I thought it was just a story." Princess Tianxiang nodded to show that she understood.

"But what does this have to do with these?" Zeng Xiaoxian was still puzzled.

"Of course, martial arts masters from all over Jiuzhou will have their skills suppressed invisibly after leaving their own territory, so they will not leave their own territory unless necessary, so as to avoid being ambushed in advance." Dugu Zhen continued to explain.

"Doesn't that mean we're trapped in one place?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked in shock.

"That's not the case. If you have power or related people here, this kind of suppression will be much weaker. If you stay in one place for a long time, the suppression will continue to weaken until it disappears." Dugu Zhen continued to explain.

"That's good." Zeng Xiaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it also means that all incidents within each state have to be handled by the martial artists in each state. Other states are not allowed to interfere at will. Unless it is a problem that cannot be solved in this area, or the final result is too serious, people from other areas will not intervene casually." Dugu Zhen said helplessly. She also wanted to find a group of people to beat up Ba Dao, but unfortunately she couldn't do it.

"By the way, you said before that there were nine dormant artifacts. What about the one that was not dormant?" Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly found that the number did not match and asked curiously.

"That artifact is missing even in legends, but ancient books record that it may be the key to awakening other artifacts." Dugu Zhen introduced slowly.

"Then what is it?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked puzzledly.

Dugu Zhen's expression was extremely serious at this moment. The image of the legendary divine weapon emerged in her mind. One side of the sword was engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers and grass. It was a golden thousand-year-old sword.

"Xuanyuan Sword."
