I picked up the scattered attributes

Swah——

A dreamlike, ethereal ladder of light descended, creating a bridge that resembled a dream between two butcher knives, one large and one small.

There were tiny specks of light, like stars turning in the night sky, slowly moving from one end of the sacred bridge to the other.

After a long while, the bridge slowly disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist, the great dream will eventually end."

"So many years have passed, it's time to wake up and see the world outside."

Feng Xia laughed loudly and bowed to the butcher knife: "In addition, I must thank you for your care these past few days, fellow Daoist sister."

The butcher's knife suddenly vibrated, and then a phantom figure gradually solidified, looking around at the world with a blank expression.

Then, his gaze fell on Feng Xia, and he managed to utter a sentence with difficulty:

"you……"

……

Chapter 0628

While the figure was still bewildered, Feng Xia noticed something amiss.

The words he had only uttered were suddenly stuck in his throat:

"Fellow Daoist sister... um?"

When you see a woman, try to address her as "sister" first. Nine times out of ten, this will give you a bonus to increase her favorability. So far, this trick has basically never failed.

Although he had known the butcher knife for a long time, the knife spirit was in an abnormal state before, lacking even normal thought and consciousness, making it impossible to communicate effectively with it.

This is the first time we've truly met like this.

After all, we've used each other for so long, so calling her "sister" isn't too much to ask, right?

Now look what's happened...

"Hey, what did you do to this sword spirit?"

Loli Xi poked Feng Xia's waist, her expression somewhat strange: "Is this the foolproof compromise you were talking about?"

"That's probably still just a matter of chance..."

Feng Xia's eye twitched again.

At this moment, the spirit of the pig-slaughtering knife standing in front of him was very different from what he had expected.

Based on Feng Xia's previous understanding and the scenes she saw during the cycle of ascending the Heavenly Ladder, the spirit of the pig-slaughtering knife should be a mature older sister figure after it manifests.

Although artifact spirits do not inherently possess gender, due to the subtle influence of the outside world, powerful artifact spirits, apart from those with only rudimentary spirituality, often possess concrete forms.

And now-

A pair of bewildered eyes, neat short hair, a fair face, a top that dragged on her thighs, and two small hands tucked in front of her...

"Th-that...you guys...are you calling me?"

"...should be?"

After being stunned for a long time, Feng Xia finally managed to squeeze out a few words: "Probably?"

Where is the mature older sister standing in front of him at this moment?

He was just a clueless little boy!

Where did the big sister I was promised go?

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Loli Xi started making a ruckus again.

For a moment, Feng Xia was understandably overwhelmed – what kind of mess is this?

He even suspected that if he brought Loli Xi and the sword spirit in this state back to Qianqiu Valley, they would definitely be viewed with prejudice by others.

The stigma surrounding the Grand Master Feng will never be cleared!

"No, no, no, if we go back to Qianqiu Valley now, it won't just be a matter of not being able to clear our name; it will definitely get even worse!"

Look...

The Feng Sect Leader, who was already rumored to "especially like little girls," not only brought back a little girl this time, but also a little boy!

Oh my god, pills.

"Sword Spirit, oh Sword Spirit, how did you become like this?"

Feng Xia, looking conflicted, rubbed her chin and circled the trembling little boy three times.

He just couldn't understand it—

It was simply a matter of extracting the problematic parts of the sword spirit's memories using the power of the Heavenly Ladder and temporarily sealing them within a smaller version of the butcher's knife...

How did it become like this?

Logically, it should indeed be as he expected, with the sword spirit temporarily freed from the influence of the memories and returning to normal in a short period of time.

The second pig-slaughtering knife, which is a sealed object, is an entity similar to an external avatar. It is not the same as the past body that Loli Xi mentioned, but it can temporarily carry past memories.

If I had to put it in perspective, it could be considered an abridged version of the past.

"Wait, if the original sword is already this abnormal, then what about the second sword forged from the demon sword fragments..."

Suddenly, Feng Xia's eye twitched, and she turned to look behind her.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the second, smaller butcher's knife floated up silently, and then, in Feng Xia's twitching eyes, slowly transformed into another cute little boy.

"Yo!"

The second little boy waved at Feng Xia.

Feng Xia: "..."

Good heavens, it really is a pill.

Although the two do look exactly alike, the original one was wearing a white coat, while the one that has appeared now is wearing a black coat.

In addition, there was a clear difference in their eyes.

The first one had a timid and hesitant look in his eyes, while the second one not only had a sharp look in his eyes, but also gave people the illusion that he was about to kill them!

As it turns out, this was not Feng Xia's illusion.

The next moment, the boy in black glanced at the boy in white, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He immediately snorted coldly, "What are you looking at? My foolish good brother!"

As he shouted the reprimand, the little boy in black had already thrown a punch and charged forward.

"If you keep staring at me, do you believe I'll beat you up?"

“Ouch—”

Even Loli Xi couldn't help but cover her eyes.

Then peek through your fingers.

"This……"

The little girl stood there, frozen in place.

Feng Xia was stunned once again.

When he saw the little boy in black rush out, he actually wanted to stop him. After all, the two little boys were the same person, so how could they be beaten by themselves?

Moreover, the white-clad little boy in the original form looks like a well-behaved child, while the one in black is quick to attack people without warning. No matter how you look at it...

"Ouch! How dare you hit me?!"

The little boy in black was slapped to the ground by the little boy in white.

“No, that’s not the case…”

The little boy in white was also stunned, remaining frozen for several breaths before frantically trying to salvage the situation: "I...I'll help you up..."

"None of your business—"

Snapped--

The moment their palms touched, the little boy in black was sent flying hundreds of feet away, crashing into a rocky outcrop in the distance, the shock even shattering his illusory form.

"I...I didn't...do it on purpose!"

The little boy in white also chased after them.

Not long after, Feng Xia saw another massive explosion in the distance.

"This is really..."

Coming back to his senses, Feng Xia gave a wry smile: "How should I put it? Is this the legendary... master of verbal sparring?"

He thought it was a story about a bad younger brother beating up a good older brother...

In the end, it turned out that the weakling brother who started the fight got beaten up instead!

"As for why it turned out this way..."
