Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

“Brother, Blue Rain of Light Hibiscus is also a greatsword. If you hadn’t given it to me back then, you would definitely have been able to gain Blue Rain of Light Hibiscus’s approval with your abilities.”

"Now you should have two greatswords, brother, and you'll be able to unleash the full potential of a true retribution knight."

Long Haochen spoke softly, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable. His brother was a punitive knight who only had a greatsword.

He has now also dual-wielded as a Retribution Knight, also wielding a greatsword. The two brothers both use a single sword, which looks quite incongruous.

Long Haoyu smiled slightly and said, "Why think so much? I'm already used to using the Unsharp Sword. Even if you gave me a second heavy sword, I wouldn't use it."

"Besides, you know the path I've walked all these years. All my moves and skills were developed specifically for the single sword. Having an extra sword would only make me feel out of place and ultimately affect my performance on the battlefield."

"You can use this sword. After you started training as a Retribution Knight, you definitely need a suitable weapon."

Long Haoyu soothed Long Haochen's somewhat uneasy state of mind, and finally put a hand on Long Haochen's shoulder and whispered in Long Haochen's ear: "Brother knows what the reward is this time, so I specially chose to give it to you."

"Don't let your brother's efforts go to waste. You need this weapon more than I do. Just remember that. Make good use of this weapon's capabilities. That's how you repay your brother. Do you understand?"

After saying this, Long Haoyu ended his whisper with Long Haochen, his voice returning to normal: "Haochen, with such a weapon, your sparring with Sister Xin'er should improve even faster."

"The Demon Hunter Selection Tournament ends soon, which means we don't have much time left before we head to the Demon Battlefield. Let's focus on improving our strength!"

"I bought a gift for Cai'er at the auction. I need to go find Cai'er now, so I'll be going now."

Long Haoyu deliberately revealed some things to Long Haochen before leaving without lingering. He bowed to Ye Hua and left in a very dashing manner.

Watching Long Haoyu's departing figure, Long Haochen stood there in astonishment, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"Haochen, what did Haoyu just say to you?" Li Xin's gossipy nature kicked in, and she asked repeatedly, "You two brothers were actually whispering to each other in secret."

Ye Hua looked at Long Haochen with great interest: "Haochen, Haoyu must have told you something very important just now, right? Since it's very important, you must remember what Haoyu said, understand?"

Long Haochen remained silent.

Faced with Li Xin's gossip and Ye Hua's admonitions.

At this moment, he was completely stunned and had not yet recovered from the brief shock.

"My brother said he already knew about this reward? When we went to the Temple's Treasure Vault together before, no one told him about it privately!"

“When our master came before, he didn’t mention any reward, so my brother shouldn’t have any reason to know from him.”

"But what my brother is saying now is that he clearly knew beforehand, which is why he specifically brought me along at the time, just to give me the chance to receive the reward. This..."

Long Haochen kept pondering this matter in his mind, and the more he pondered it, the more he found that he could not understand it.

Suddenly, scenes from Long Haoyu's past behavior in front of him flashed through his mind.

As he continuously analyzed current events and past events, a glint of brilliance slowly appeared in Long Haochen's eyes.

She kept looking in the direction where Long Haoyu had left, and the look in her eyes slowly became firm.

……

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Long Haoyu and his group stayed on the same floor as Cai'er.

After leaving Ye Hua's room, Long Haoyu went straight to Cai'er's room.

After knocking on Cai'er's door, Long Haoyu called softly from outside, "Cai'er, it's me, Long Haoyu!"

crunch--

After a few breaths, Cai'er opened the door, vaguely seeing Long Haoyu's figure and gently smelling the familiar scent in the air.

"Is the auction over?" Cai'er asked.

Long Haoyu smiled and said, "It's over now. I came here specifically to see you."

Cai'er blushed slightly. When she heard Long Haoyu say that he had come to see her so late, she lowered her head shyly.

Long Haoyu gently took Cai'er's hand, his voice much gentler: "Want to go for a walk together now?"

Cai'er pulled her hand away from Long Haoyu's as if she had been electrocuted, somewhat surprised by what she had heard. Her head, which had been lowered just moments before, suddenly rose again.

Her empty, blurry eyes stared straight at Long Haoyu, and a blush quickly appeared on her face.

Despite the black veil covering her face, it was still clear that her ears were red.

Is he asking me out on a date? Should I say yes?

Cai'er was in a state of turmoil, and couldn't help but let her mind wander to this question.

Looking back on their previous interactions, everything had been done while she was out of sight, and with Long Haoyu's reason for bringing her back, it didn't seem so awkward.

It was late at night, and when Long Haoyu suddenly said those words, she instinctively thought in that direction.

The thought that this was the first time Long Haoyu had formally invited her on a date made her feel extremely embarrassed.

Hesitantly standing in front of Long Haoyu, she lowered her head again, her hands clasped together in front of her, and said in a barely audible voice, "It's so late, isn't this inappropriate?"

Chapter 191 Night Talk, The Conflict Between Yu Cai

So late? Is that bad?

Long Haoyu was slightly surprised. Seeing Cai'er's shy expression and her ears turning completely red, he immediately realized what was going on.

Realizing this, Long Haoyu couldn't help but shake his head and teased softly, "Cai'er, are you unwilling to go out for a walk with me? Or are you simply shy?"

Cai'er lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers and staring at Long Haoyu's toes, unable to utter a single word. She was nothing like the cold and peerless assassin queen she was on the competition stage.

Long Haoyu stopped there, not putting any more pressure on Cai'er on this issue, and smiled slightly, "Let's go, I have a gift for you. We haven't gone out for a walk at night yet, let's go for a stroll together."

As he spoke softly, Long Haoyu grabbed Cai'er's wrist and led her out of the hotel.

Cai'er maintained her shy demeanor, but after Long Haoyu said that, her body seemed to disobey her commands. She could only let Long Haoyu lead her outside, her mind a complete mess.

The Holy City is the core of human territory, a place untouched by war. The people living here are not as cautious as the residents of Odin Town.

The neon lights at night illuminate the entire holy city beautifully, as if telling everyone who comes here that this is a paradise for mankind.

The streets were bustling with people enjoying their nightlife: vendors hawking their wares, friends chatting and laughing, and couples embracing passionately on the street.

All of this makes you want to completely relax here.

Unaffected by these distractions, Long Haoyu led Cai'er to a small park not far from the hotel.

The park is very quiet, and there aren't as many people as on the streets, making it an excellent choice for a date.

By the fountain, Long Haoyu sat there, with Cai'er beside him. The two of them silently watched the neon-lit streets of the holy city in the distance.

"The night view of the Holy City is quite nice, with neon lights everywhere, but we're about to head to the Demon Battlefield, so these peaceful days probably won't last long."

Long Haoyu sighed softly, "The Demon Realm battlefield is nothing like the human territory. There's no way we could have this kind of life here, where we can even go out for a stroll when we have nothing to do at night."

As long as you are in the demon territory, even if there is nothing to do for the time being, you cannot let your guard down, because you may fall into the demon's encirclement at any time and end up dying on the battlefield.

The forget-me-not ring lit up with a blue light, and Cai'er glanced sideways at the ring she had given to Long Haoyu.

Long Haoyu took out the jade hairpin he had won at the auction. The emerald green hairpin had a faint green glow in the night, and it was marked with inscriptions, making it fundamentally different from ordinary hairpins.

In a crisis, this hairpin can temporarily provide Cai'er with a layer of defense. Although it may not play a truly significant role on the battlefield, it can provide Cai'er with a buffer.

After all, Cai'er is the team's assassin, and what assassins do is find the most suitable opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

An assassin's fate is either to kill the enemy or to perish himself.

“I know what you’re thinking, but I haven’t given you a decent gift before.”

"This jade hairpin can provide you with a layer of protection in times of crisis."

Long Haoyu guided Cai'er's hand to touch the jade hairpin. The coolness of the hairpin calmed Cai'er down considerably.

Cai'er gently stroked the jade hairpin with her jade hand, remained silent for a long time, and then softly hummed in agreement.

Long Haoyu pulled the jade hairpin from Cai'er's hand, then suddenly stood up and walked a distance away from the fountain.

Cai'er looked at Long Haoyu suspiciously, but didn't ask any questions; she just watched quietly.

Long Haoyu took the Wufeng sword from behind him, and all the bandages on it popped off. The dark blade gleamed with a cold light, giving people a strange chill in the night sky.

"Master, no way? It's not what I thought, is it?"

"Master, you can't do this to me. I wanted to kill the demons. This is really not right of you."

The little coal ball emerged from the edgeless hole, sensing Long Haoyu's feelings at this moment, and couldn't help but complain.

Long Haoyu threw the jade hairpin into the air, then grabbed Xiao Meiqiu's head and pressed it back down towards Wufeng.

"Stop it, there will be plenty of demons for you to kill later."

"Let me get down to business first!"

Long Haoyu spotted the jade hairpin that had been thrown into the air, and Wufeng unleashed a series of sword strikes at it.

Clang, clang, clang—

Each time, Wu Feng lightly traced a mark on the jade hairpin, and each time the hairpin was flung away again.

Some fragments fell from the jade hairpin, and two characters were engraved on the hairpin by Long Haoyu using a blunt seal script.

The jade hairpin fell back into Long Haoyu's hands, and Wufeng was once again wrapped in bandages and carried on his back.

Long Haoyu sat back down next to Cai'er, looked at the two characters 'Yu Cai' he had carved on the jade hairpin, and placed the hairpin back in Cai'er's hand.

Cai'er gently stroked the two characters on the jade hairpin, feeling the sensation of the characters on her palm. Even with her blurry eyes, she could almost see what the two characters meant.

These two simple characters convey the tension of a dragon and a phoenix vying for supremacy.

Although they are competing, they are also inseparable.

"Help me put it on!" Cai'er whispered, gently pressing the jade hairpin into Long Haoyu's palm.

Long Haoyu hummed in agreement, and using the faint glow of the neon lights in the distance, carefully inserted the jade hairpin into Cai'er's hair.

A faint green light flickered intermittently.

Long Haoyu looked at Cai'er wearing the jade hairpin and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Cai'er felt the jade hairpin in her hair, moved closer to Long Haoyu, and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

"You said we're about to go to the Demon battlefield and won't be able to continue our current peaceful life, but I don't care whether we can have our current peaceful life or not."

"After the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament is over, I will stay by your side. I will be content as long as I am by your side."
