In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

She desperately wanted to do something.

Meanwhile, a red light flashed past the corner of her eyes, making her feel a little irritated.

Red light and shadow...

red……

"Um?!"

Chen seemed to be touched by something. His eyes widened instantly, and he straightened his back and turned his head to look.

Nearby, Maria silently put the blade back into the scabbard.

"Nice weapon, but...it doesn't seem to have seen any real combat."

Maria commented, placing the Chixiao back on the table.

Chen, who was standing aside, stared blankly with his eyes wide open.

just……

Chi Xiao...

Is it unsheathed?

It was unsheathed in someone else’s hand right in front of me!

Chapter 89: Suitable for You

Chen was still immersed in the shock of Maria pulling out Chi Xiao.

Maria, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed.

"I roughly understand what you're thinking. I can't say much about your affairs, but... I respect your choice, whether it's right or not."

Maria spoke up, simply stating her position.

"Ah...thank you...thank you."

Chen stared blankly at the tall woman here, and looked hesitantly at Chi Xiao who was lying quietly on the table.

She walked over hesitantly, picked up the blade, and tried to pull it out of the scabbard.

But unfortunately, even though she used all her strength, she couldn't pull it out at all.

She had heard before that Chi Xiao was a weapon with its own consciousness. It would choose its own master and decide whether to unsheathe itself.

If this is really not false propaganda made by Thor Industries in order to raise prices, then it means that Chi Xiao obviously identifies more with Maria than her?

This made her fall into a state of confusion about her worldview.

Xingxiong on the side looked at Chen helplessly, then turned his head and looked at Maria again.

"Let's put these things aside for now... Maria, you've been at Longmen for a while now, right? How are you feeling?"

"It's a vibrant city, although it doesn't satisfy everyone who comes here." Maria spoke calmly and gave an evaluation of the city from her own perspective.

He was full of energy, and everywhere you looked you could see people working hard.

But at the same time, she could also see those infected people who were not accepted by mainstream society struggling in almost every alley.

This is a city with clear divisions.

But Maria had no intention of changing it.

Maria realized a long time ago that she could not accomplish such a feat as changing the world. All she could do was change her environment within her ability.

She only knows how to kill.

With a sigh, Maria nodded to the star bear in front of her, then stood up and prepared to leave.

On the other side, Chen grabbed Maria's hand even faster.

"Please wait!"

She pursed her lips, almost pleadingly, and looked up at Maria in front of her.

In her right hand, she still tightly grasped the crimson sharp blade.

"Can you... demonstrate it again?"

As she spoke, she handed Chi Xiao to Maria personally.

She still found it a little unbelievable.

Although Maria felt strange, she did not reject the other party.

Turning around, she picked up the weapon and gently pulled it out of its scabbard.

The sharp edge drew a graceful arc in the air. This weapon seemed to never hide anything. The moment it was unsheathed, a silent wind seemed to blow around it.

The red light danced vaguely in the air, and faintly, a faint roar could be heard.

Chen watched all this with his own eyes, and his expression became more and more complicated.

"This is a very good weapon."

Maria once again made her own assessment, her eyes simultaneously falling on Chen.

"But I don't seem to have seen you use it...why is that?"

"Don't you like it?"

Maria spoke, but apart from sincerity, no meaning could be heard in her words.

But such a sincere question made Chen's face even more embarrassed.

Doesn't she want to use it?

Doesn't she want to use it?!

Chen took Chi Xiao from Maria with a complicated expression and made another unwilling attempt.

But the result is still exactly the same as before.

The Chi Xiao sword that Maria could easily unsheathe seemed to be fixed to the scabbard in her hands. No matter how much strength she used, it did not move at all.

Obviously, she is still far from reaching the level that can be recognized by Chi Xiao.

On the contrary, Maria easily gained the other party's affirmation.

Although he knew before that Maria's potential power was far greater than his own, after the comparison was really made in front of him, Chen was still confused.

She didn't know what to do.

Maria was a little surprised by this, but fortunately, there was Xingxiong here to serve as an explanation.

"This weapon... is a little special."

Xingxiong stood beside Maria, explaining to her the uniqueness of the Chixiao sword, while also caring about his friend's feelings.

"Although it's a little strange, it's true. It seems to have its own wisdom. It only unsheathes itself when it recognizes someone and when they do... Old Chen has been carrying it since he joined the company, but until now, he's never unsheathed it once..."

"Is that right?"

Maria frowned slightly after listening to Xingxiong's explanation.

"Why keep such a weapon?"

"Huh?" Xingxiong was a little surprised.

"There's no need to keep weapons like this around." Maria shook her head.

She didn't understand the idea that weapons had their own thoughts, but for her, a practical person, the choice of weapons was obviously more sophisticated.

Turning around, Maria took a few steps closer to Chen, held up his face, and looked him in the eye.

"I don't know why you keep carrying this weapon, but since you are a warrior, you should know that we are the ones who hold the hilt and we are the ones who choose the weapon."

"This weapon may hold many profound memories for you, but in my opinion, no matter how much significance it carries, it is merely additional meaning. At most, it proves that it is fit to be hung somewhere as an ornament."

"A blade that can't be unsheathed is even less effective than a piece of iron to us. On the battlefield, no one will tell you that they can temporarily suspend the fight and wait until you can draw your weapon before fighting again."

"Life and death are always just a matter of seconds. A weapon is just a weapon. If it doesn't suit you, there's no need to carry it with you."

Maria spoke, her words very serious.

Chen was a little overwhelmed by Maria's repeated approach.

"But... Chi Xiao is..."

"No buts, girl... If you always go to the battlefield with such naive thoughts, I can be sure that you are still alive today, purely by luck!"

Maria's words were more serious and forceful than ever before.

Her friendship with Chen was not very deep, but they could be considered friends to some extent.

And as a friend, she must tell the other person what she thinks.

It's not just a problem with weapons, it's more of a problem with the girl's mentality.

Because of anticipation, you always carry a weapon with you that cannot be unsheathed and cannot be used in combat?

What kind of joke is this?

"There are no miracles in this world. What exists is only the only way out chosen through countless experiments!"

“No one goes to the battlefield praying.”

Maria spoke.

Gray eyes stared at the girl in front of him...

Chapter 90 She’s here!

"what……"

Maria's words came from her heart.

She may not be able to speak much about weapon forging or craftsmanship, but she is very familiar with the use of weapons.

It can be said that there is absolutely no one in this world who is more familiar with weapons than her.

That was why she could tell Chen with absolute certainty not to cling to a weapon that was not suitable for him.

Maybe it does hide some unknown powerful power, but... so what?

What good is it if you have great power but cannot draw it out of its sheath?

It doesn't even do as much for you as a stone on the roadside!

Facing Maria's sincere words, Chen's attitude was just one sentence...

"Too close..."

Chen really wanted to listen to Maria's words and think carefully about what the other party was saying.

But unfortunately, as Maria spoke again and again, the two people's faces kept getting closer.

In the end, she even had to stand on tiptoe to adjust her face to being held in Maria's hands.

Maria also bent down and silently got close to the other person's face.

The strange posture further stimulated her feelings towards Maria, and her heartbeat kept accelerating.

She could no longer feel anything except Maria's face...

Woo!

Chen's face began to turn red. She struggled hard to free her pouting face from Maria's hands. She took several steps back before she could catch her breath again.

"I'll think about it carefully..."

As she spoke, her eyes wandered.

The blue tail swung restlessly behind her, revealing her uneasy mood.

On the side, Xingxiong, who witnessed everything, also smiled kindly.

Isn't this good~

Although what Maria said was obviously a bit exaggerated in her ears, her intention was correct.

Admittedly, when she and Lao Chen cooperated, the other party was often equipped with two weapons and would not appear in the situation that Maria described where he was unable to fight, but if possible, she really hoped that Lao Chen could start in the best condition.
