I'm Dating a Sword Spirit - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

With my arms metaphorically full of gains, I wandered around the Sword Tomb with Chenyun Sword for a while longer.

He deliberately found a quiet corner so he could whisper to me in private.

“You don’t need to feel burdened. In the future, if they bring their own partners back, I’ll return the gifts too. The question is whether they have the ability.”

I could hear a hint of tsundere pride in Chenyun Sword’s tone.

He seemed truly happy-very satisfied-that he had found me as his partner.

“Okay.”

Delighted, I took inventory of all the treasures I’d received.

When I looked up again, Chenyun Sword had, at some point, quietly shifted until he was less than three inches away from me.

When my gaze swept over to him, his blade trembled slightly, letting out soft rings of sword song. Was he… nervous?

“I-I’m blocking the wind for you. The Sword Tomb is cold and gloomy. It isn’t good for your constitution.”

I nodded, feeling a little regretful.

Getting a sword spirit as a boyfriend was indeed pretty nice, but holding hands, having some kind of physical contact… that all seemed to have become wishful thinking.

Just as I was lost in thought, Chenyun Sword’s tassel suddenly drifted over with the wind.

Where had this wind come from?

The next second, I clearly felt the tassel land on the back of my hand, faintly warm.

Surprised, I lowered my eyes and looked at it.

So… the tassel was part of his body too?

“It really is a little cold…”

I shifted closer to Chenyun Sword.

Now, we were practically pressed together. Through the fabric of my clothes, I could clearly feel the ancient, unadorned texture of the blade. The aura that should have been cold and sharp was gradually warming because of my sudden closeness.

He was blushing.

The blade, usually dim with a subdued gleam, was now covered in brilliant rosy clouds.

Damn it…

I really wanted to kiss him.

But I had no idea where to kiss.

What if I accidentally kissed somewhere I shouldn’t?!

Chapter 5

I left the Sword Tomb full of regret, only to run into the person I least wanted to see the moment I stepped out-

Wen Fu!

The male lead of this book. The man who should have pierced my throat with a single sword strike a month ago!

Wen Fu stood tall and straight, his icy gaze sweeping over me and Chenyun Sword.

“Chenyun. Come here.”

Because of the restrictions of the Blood Contract, Chenyun Sword couldn’t openly defy Wen Fu.

Before leaving, Chenyun Sword said goodbye to me. “Ling Ge, tomorrow I’ll pick you up after class again, and then we’ll find somewhere to walk around. Tonight, I’ll contact you with a messaging talisman.”

As he said this, Wen Fu’s expression didn’t look very good.

I heard that lately, because Chenyun Sword had been so absorbed in dating, he kept disappearing from time to time, running off who knew where. As a result, Wen Fu’s daily cultivation time had fallen far short of what it used to be.

What was even more outrageous was that once, Wen Fu had been sparring with an elder.

The Chenyun Sword in his hand had suddenly let out a ring, then slipped from his grasp in a great hurry and vanished over the horizon with a whoosh.

He’d rushed off in a panic, muttering, “Oh no, oh no, Ling Ge is about to finish class. I’m not going to make it!”

Everyone left behind had been utterly speechless.

Wen Fu’s face had grown darker by the day.

Now, seeing the two of us-a person and a sword-bidding each other farewell so reluctantly, Wen Fu tightened his grip around the hilt, turned the blade, and hid Chenyun Sword behind his back. Then he said solemnly to me, “Ling Ge, isn’t this matter between you and Chenyun born of your own selfish motives?”

His question stunned me.

“What selfish motives?”

Wen Fu looked me straight in the eye, as if he had seen through all my thoughts.

“You grew close to Chenyun. Wasn’t it for some other purpose? And furthermore, a month ago, were you truly trying to say that the one you liked was Chenyun?”

Well, damn. So Wen Fu had known all along that the original Ling Ge liked him!

When I didn’t speak, Wen Fu sneered. “This matter between you and Chenyun Sword is absurd beyond measure. Recently, the entire sect has been talking about it. Can you really not sense that?”

He suddenly leaped into the air, leaving behind a single sentence. “The matter between you and Chenyun ends here!”

I watched Wen Fu disappear into the distance. I wanted to chase after him, but my steps hesitated.

Chenyun must have heard everything just now, right?

With how clever he was, he would definitely understand the hidden meaning in Wen Fu’s words.

Then he must already know that the original Ling Ge had liked Wen Fu.

Would he think… that I had only used him as a tool to get close to Eldest Senior Brother Wen Fu?

His nature was so pure, and he had a tendency to overthink things. He hadn’t said a single word just now. He was definitely already thinking in that direction.

It was true that when I changed course and confessed to Chenyun Sword back then, I had done it to save my own life.

But after spending nearly a month with him, I had long since been moved by his personality. I was even thinking that continuing to date him wouldn’t be bad at all.

Boohoo…

I had only just fallen for him, and my boyfriend had already flown away.
