I'm Dating a Sword Spirit - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

“Ling Ge, over here! Over here!”

A spirit sword, frost-white from hilt to tip, waved its body at me from a distance.

I smiled and hurried toward Chenyun Sword.

As I drew closer, the blade of Chenyun Sword took on a faint reddish glow. The ridge of the sword trembled, letting out a tiny humming sound-

Was he… shy?

“Where are you taking me today?”

Last night, while I was meditating, I had suddenly received a message talisman from Chenyun Sword. He said he would pick me up after class today and take me somewhere nice on the way.

Over the past month, Chenyun Sword had found opportunities to meet me every single day. His greatest interest seemed to be taking me on dates to all kinds of unexpected places.

Chenyun Sword floated at my side. The moment he realized he was moving faster than my stride, he nervously slowed down, and his blade let out a disordered hum, as if he were annoyed with himself.

How adorable.

“Today… today, I’m taking you to my old home.”

“Your old home?”

My heart gave a jolt, and I glanced sideways at Chenyun Sword.

“This old home of yours… wouldn’t happen to be where the dragon skeleton is, would it?”

Chenyun Sword turned his body ever so slightly. Under my gaze, his snow-white blade turned as red as sunset clouds in the blink of an eye.

“Y-you know my body was forged from dragon bone? Hehehe~ You even know that? It’s just dragon bone. Nothing impressive.”

I couldn’t help laughing along with him.

“You’re so amazing, of course I heard about it ages ago. The legends say that back then, Eldest Senior Brother…” Mentioning Wen Fu felt strange, so I paused before continuing, “when Eldest Senior Brother went to the Sword Tomb to choose a sword, you were the strongest one there. Who in the cultivation world wouldn’t yearn for that?”

Chenyun Sword tilted his blade up, then let out another embarrassed hehehe. “I’m not that amazing. It just so happens that I have the most seniority, and the material used to forge me was dragon bone, that’s all. But I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed today. The dragon skeleton vanished long ago, and I can’t sense it anymore. The place I’m taking you today is one you just mentioned.”

“The Sword Tomb?!”

Chapter 3

I truly hadn’t expected Chenyun Sword to choose the Sword Tomb as our date location.

“Doesn’t the Sword Tomb only open once every ten years?”

The moment I stepped inside, a biting chill rushed over me, and I rubbed my arms.

Chenyun Sword immediately shook his body. Spiritual energy rippled outward, forming a barrier around us that blocked out the cold.

Quite thoughtful of him.

“This is my old home. I can come whenever I want and leave whenever I want.”

I was still worried. “If the sect master finds out, he’ll probably punish me.”

Chenyun Sword instantly lost his temper. “Let him try! If he dares punish you, I’ll go smack his backside. This is my territory. You can come whenever you want too. Since when does that old coot get to point fingers here?”

I believed Chenyun Sword had every right to say that.

In the book, he was a legend. Even Wen Fu, who had gathered the world’s fortune upon himself, never dared claim to be his master in front of him.

“Well, well, Chenyun. You’ve really grown up, bringing a person here and all.”

The sudden voice made me jolt.

I looked around. The one speaking seemed to be… a sword in the Sword Tomb?

Sword spirits were born from sensing heaven and earth. For the swords in the Sword Tomb, this was nothing unusual.

One after another, sword spirits began to speak.

“Chenyun, is this the partner you told us about?”

Chenyun Sword angled his blade slightly, taking on a posture as if he were protecting me. “Where do all of you get so much nonsense to say? Since I’ve brought someone here, shouldn’t you, as elders, show some appreciation?”

He was clearly embarrassed. His tone sounded a little irritable and rushed.

He really was adorable.

The sword spirits stopped teasing him and turned to greet me instead.

“Chenyun’s partner, you’re Ling Ge, right? This boy Chenyun mentions you all the time. He even came by last night just to specifically remind us… All right, all right, I won’t say more. Look at Chenyun, hahaha. If I say another couple of words, he might just cut ties with me in a very literal sense.”

“Chenyun’s partner, as your elders meeting you for the first time, we naturally ought to present you with gifts according to custom.”

Countless spirit swords surged forward. I had no idea where they pulled out the talismans, spiritual artifacts, enchanted robes, and all sorts of other things from, but they insisted on shoving them into my Qiankun Pouch.

I was rather stunned.

The treasures these spirit swords gave me didn’t look ordinary at first glance. At a closer look… they were even less ordinary.

Take any one of them outside, and the entire cultivation world would fight over it endlessly.

These sword spirits had dwelled in the Sword Tomb for years upon years. Even the youngest among them had been born from heaven and earth at least five hundred years ago. Pick any one of them out, and they would have a tale of glory praised by all.

To them, the treasures they handed out were nothing special.

But it was hard on me. I was just like a child at New Year’s facing red envelopes from the elders.

While holding my pouch open, I kept saying, “No, no, I don’t want it. I really can’t accept this, I can’t.”

The result was that I didn’t miss a single item, and my Qiankun Pouch was stuffed to the brim.
