Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 262 Marriage and Childbirth
In the blink of an eye, time stretched to almost stand still, while their thoughts had already spanned a thousand years.

We arrived at a place called Qinxi Mountain Foothills, which had become part of Chu after the fall of the Yue Kingdom.

"What's the use of reading books!"

"We, as descendants of renowned swordsmiths, cannot become scholars."

"You scoundrel, come and take a look at this sword!"

A girl dressed in blue, bathed in bright sunlight, walked over, holding a long sword upside down, and snatched the bamboo scroll from the boy's hand.

At the same time, he proudly raised the bronze sword, wishing the whole world could see his hard work.

The young man didn't look at the sword, he only looked at the man.

To be fair, she doesn't have a stunning appearance, but years of forging have made her arms and backs thicker than those of an average woman.

Ash and rust covered her delicate skin, and her hands bore many burn scars.

However, it is common knowledge that he has a fondness for young girls.

The figure in cyan was like a mountain spirit, and its smile was more fiery than the fire from the earth's core.

What are you looking at me for? Take this sword!

The young man reluctantly accepted it, examined it for less than two seconds, and then showed some disdain. In the art of sword forging, his arrogance allowed him to look down on most swordsmen in the world.

"The sword is sharp, but not sturdy, and it is crooked like a snake's shadow."

"The sword guard is unbalanced, and the hilt feels a bit rough to the touch, but it's still usable for killing chickens and pigs."

The girl pouted, her eyes flashing with both fierceness and tears, making her look pitiful.

The young man could only offer a new critique, praising this broken sword, which could easily be thrown into the sword pool, to an unprecedented degree. Clearly, this book-loving swordsmith was not a pedantic person.

Only then could we hear laughter that brings joy again.

"Hahaha, you're right, I deliberately forged this sword into the shape of a snake, and this sword will be called the Green Snake Sword!"

The boy thought to himself, "So easy to fool. I'll just have to follow me from now on."

Just as most people imagine, they were childhood sweethearts, well-matched in social status, and married with swords as betrothal gifts.

It was uneventful, without many ups and downs.

“I said, I will continue to study even after I get married.”

"If you don't understand the principles, you'll suffer later."

The woman nodded, continuing her ignorant ways, and even forged an upgraded version of the Green Snake Sword, infuriating the man so much that he banged his head on the ground, but there was nothing he could do.

It seems we're starting to be manipulated by the other party.

The young man continued to enjoy reading and being a teacher. The woman remained lively and cheerful, and continued to practice some strange and unusual things.

The couple's sword-making skills became increasingly brilliant, and they were known throughout the Dragon Abyss region.

Everyone knows that the swords they forge are top-notch weapons.

One day, however, the young man suddenly became dejected, extinguished the fire in the furnace, and threw down the hammer. Somewhat distraught, he held the bamboo slips and said to his wife:
"The ruler of Zhao found a wise man and obtained three divine weapons."

"First, the sword of the Son of Heaven, its tip made of the stone city of Yanxi, its guard made of Mount Tai of Qi; its spine made of Jin and Wei, its hilt made of Zhou and Song, its clasp made of Han and Wei; it is enveloped by the four barbarian tribes, bound by the four seasons; it is encircled by the Bohai Sea, and its belt is made of Changshan Mountain; it is crafted according to the Five Elements, and its principles are based on punishment and virtue; it is opened by Yin and Yang, held in spring and summer, and used in autumn and winter. This sword is straight without equal, raised without equal, lowered without equal, and wielded without equal. It can cleave the floating clouds above and sever the earth's boundaries below. Once this sword is used, it will bring order to the feudal lords, and the world will submit. This is the sword of the Son of Heaven."

"Secondly, the sword of the feudal lords, with the brave warrior as its edge, the honest and upright as its guard, the virtuous and wise as its spine, the loyal and holy as its hilt, and the heroic and valiant as its clasps. This sword is unparalleled in its straightness, unsurpassed in its height, unsurpassed in its depth, and unhindered in its movement. It follows the round heaven to accord with the three luminaries, follows the square earth to accord with the four seasons, and harmonizes the will of the people to bring peace to the four regions. When this sword is used, it is like the thunderclap, and within the four borders, none will fail to submit and obey the ruler's commands."

"Thirdly, there is the sword of the commoner, with disheveled hair and protruding sideburns, a drooping crown, a long tassel on his hat, and a short robe at the back. He glares and speaks with difficulty. When they clash, the sword cuts off the neck and collar above and severs the liver and lungs below. This sword of the commoner is no different from that of a fighting cock. Once his life is over, he is useless in the affairs of the state."

"We, husband and wife, have spent our lives forging swords, yet our work amounts to nothing more than the swords of commoners. How laughable!" His wife disliked reading and couldn't even understand the words of the Three Swords. She simply embraced her beloved with tenderness.

She knew that the man harbored an inexplicable arrogance, an arrogance that looked down on everyone.

So instead of trying to dissuade him, he said something.

"Then let's forge a sword that will terrify even the emperor."

At that time, the King of Chu heard of the names of the couple at the foot of Qinxi Mountain and chose them to forge an unparalleled divine sword for himself.

The young man immediately agreed and asked for rare minerals from all over the country, as well as the secret sword-making techniques from the Wu and Yue regions.

Three years, a full three years of obsessive research, forging, and wasting countless resources, finally forging two sword blanks.

Swords come in male and female varieties, and are renowned weapons of the world.

Puyi's birth caused celestial changes, as if he had a destiny inherited from him.

At the same time, the young man, looking at his masterpiece, also woke up and even felt fear.

His wife was about to give birth, and the man held her as if they were teenagers.

"For the past three years, my mind has been preoccupied with the sword, and I have paid little attention to you. Now, the King of Chu will surely kill me to eliminate any future troubles."

"What good is a sword that terrifies the emperor? It's not as good as the sword you used to kill chickens and pigs back then."

"I will bring Moye to King Xianchu. If I die, live well with the child."

The wife, who used to throw a tantrum, was no longer angry and gently agreed.

A snake-shaped blue aura was moving between his brows at night.

The next day, the young man took the female sword to see the King of Chu. The king was furious and sent his advisor to say, "There are two swords, one male and one female. The female comes but the male does not."

The king was furious and immediately killed him.

The woman was heartbroken, knowing she had no way out. Her former mischievousness had been worn away by reality, and she had grown up in an instant.

She hid in the deep mountains and gave birth to a son alone, whose name was Chi.

He lived in anonymity for many years, teaching him swordsmanship, reading, and the swordsmanship of a commoner. On his deathbed, he recounted the story of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

"My heart is filled with hatred, a hatred so intense that I wish I could personally kill the King of Chu, to terrify all the rulers of the land, and to show the world that even a commoner's sword can overturn heaven and earth!!!"

He then breathed his last, and Chi cried bitterly.

A blue light appeared between his brows, and the already dead Mo Xie opened his eyes and stood up, his eyes filled with boundless rage and hatred. The violent shockwave directly flattened the thatched hut.

"Your Majesty, you...you're not dead?!?"

Xiaoqing looked at her son and didn't know how to deal with him.

“My son, that, that mother won’t die.”

She had been in Mo Xie's heart for decades, and their swords and souls were one, with love, hate, and passion all residing in her heart.

She didn't know why Gan Jiang Xu Xuan chose to die, but later history showed that her son would also die on the way, so she quit!
Demonic possession? Obsession?
Walk to the stone under the pine pillar in front of the main hall and punch it!
With all her might, the middle-aged woman shattered the boulder with a single punch, much to Chi's horrified gaze!

The sword energy, suppressed for many years, erupted once more. The sword's blade was broad and hard, like the ridge of a mountain. Flames of demonic energy surged, as if waiting for something.

It is waiting for a master who doesn't care about history, doesn't care about the past, and is lawless and unrestrained.

The moment Xiaoqing grasped the sword hilt, her white hair turned black, and her magic returned.
