"Finally gone."
The old woman finally let out a sigh of relief. Qin Feng had put too much pressure on her. Although Ai Chirou seemed to have the upper hand, she still did not have the confidence to keep Qin Feng there.
After all, Ai Chirou was too young, only three years old. How could the True Qi in her body compare to Qin Feng's?
No, that girl didn't have any True Qi in her body at all.
Although she didn't know how the little girl managed to execute such powerful sword techniques without True Qi, it certainly couldn't last long.
If Qin Feng had truly fought with his life on the line, it would have been hard for them to get the better of him.
Actually, her worries were completely unnecessary. Although Chu Xin didn't have True Qi, she had Divine Rune Power. It was a mysterious energy more Advanced than True Qi, one that even Chu Feng hadn't found a single clue about in the blood bead Inheritance he had already obtained.
Chu Xin landed on the Flying Boat and was surrounded by a group of Female Guards.
"Wow! Ai Chirou, you are truly amazing. That was a Martial Saint in the Middle Stage, and you were actually able to contend with him."
"You are only three years old! A three-year-old Martial Saint, that is simply unheard of."
"It's unimaginable. By the time you grow up, what level of strength will you reach?"
"That must be a Martial Emperor."
"A Martial Emperor? You are underestimating the value of a three-year-old Martial Saint. I think she definitely has a chance to become a Martial Emperor."
A group of Female Guards chattered non-stop, their words filled with amazement and excitement.
"Alright, don't crowd her, let her rest properly."
Long Yufei walked over, holding Chu Chen.
"Yes, yes, yes. After a big battle with a Martial Saint in the Middle Stage, she must be very tired. Let her rest first."
Hearing this, the Female Guards quickly dispersed.
Chu Xin scratched her head and giggled: "Auntie Long, I'm not tired."
Long Yufei thought it was just her little pride holding up, after all, that was a Martial Saint in the Middle Stage. How could she not be tired after such a battle?
Little did she know, Chu Xin really didn't feel tired.
That guy wasn't even as good as Daddy; she could usually keep fighting with Daddy for quite a while.
All of this was thanks to the Divine Runes growing on her bones. These Divine Runes not only granted her immense strength, speed, and Sword Intent, but also super endurance and recovery.
Never mind fighting for a short while, she wouldn't feel tired even if she fought for three days and three nights.
"Governor, you all take over piloting the Flying Boat. I need to recover and rest with the little friend."
At this moment, the old woman landed on the Flying Boat and said to Long Yufei.
Long Yufei nodded with a solemn expression.
Even the Grand Elder of the Tyrant Sword Sect had appeared; the enemies they would encounter next would surely be even stronger, and the road ahead remained fraught with danger.
Shifu and Ai Chirou would be the main forces against the strong enemies, so they had to conserve their energy and face them in peak condition.
At the same time, she felt secretly fortunate. If she hadn't met this pair of siblings, it would have been impossible to reach the Prefecture Government.
She knew she would encounter obstacles before coming, but she hadn't expected them to be this great.
Had she known, she shouldn't have come as a Avatar; she should have awakened her main body and let the main body come instead.
But it was too late to say anything now. Being so far away, she couldn't awaken her main body. Unless she died, the memories of this Avatar wouldn't be automatically fed back to the main body. Otherwise, no matter what happened to her in Lan Province, the main body in seclusion wouldn't be able to perceive it.
Thinking of this, she looked at Chu Xin again. She really couldn't fathom how this little girl, only three years old, possessed such terrifying strength. Could it be that this girl was born a Martial Saint?
A natural-born Martial Saint—such a situation had never been heard of in the Nine Provinces Continent.
"Sister, your Sword Qi Dragon move is even more powerful than before."
Chu Chen got down from Long Yufei's arms, came to Chu Xin, and said with a grin.
"Of course. I am growing every day. So many days have passed, so of course, it's a bit more powerful." Chu Xin had an expression that said it was only natural.
The others were speechless upon hearing this. She could make progress in just these few days? They hadn't made any progress for several years.
They were considered quite talented in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, but compared to this little girl, it was like heaven and earth; it was too damaging to their self-esteem.
The old woman, who was sitting cross-legged and regulating her breathing, opened her eyes to look at Chu Xin, then silently got up and walked to a corner of the Flying Boat to sit cross-legged and continue regulating her breathing.
"Eh? Why is Granny sitting so far away from us?"
Chu Xin asked curiously.
"Is it because we are too noisy?"
Chu Chen whispered.
"Possibly."
Chu Xin nodded, then rubbed her little tummy and asked: "Little brother, share some of the roasted meat you hid with me. I'm a bit hungry after that fight."
"No, no, I didn't hide any roasted meat."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly shook his head and waved his hands, retreating repeatedly.
Chu Xin rolled her eyes, hands on her hips, glared with her big eyes, and brandished her little fist in a threat: "Take it out quickly, or I'll beat your butt until it blooms."
"Got it."
Chu Chen subconsciously covered his little bottom, grimaced, hung his head, and took out two pieces of roasted snake meat hidden in his spatial ring. Then, as if changing his face, he giggled and said: "Sister, I specifically hid this for you."
Chu Xin patted Chu Chen's little head, imitating the tone Daddy usually used to praise her, and complimented: "Mm, little brother is very obedient."
Then she took the roasted meat and happily started eating.
Chu Chen turned around and muttered: "Stinky sister, always snatching my food."
"Little brother, what did you just say?"
Chu Xin hadn't heard clearly and asked suspiciously while eating the roasted meat.
"Ah? I said sister loves me the most."
Chu Chen was startled and quickly put on a fawning smile on his chubby little face.
Seeing Chu Chen's instant change of face, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Looking at this situation, he probably hadn't been beaten by his sister less often.
Having this pair of lively treasures along the way, laughter and joy were naturally indispensable.
One day later, the Flying Boat arrived beside a giant mountain. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Long Yufei and all the Female Guards couldn't help but shiver.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get cold?"
A Female Guard looked suspiciously at the dazzling sun in the sky, her face full of confusion.
"Be on guard, there is an enemy attack."
Long Yufei's expression was solemn.
When something abnormal happens, there must be a demon, especially on the path they were traveling.
Hearing this, the Female Guards drew their swords and formed a formation, vigilant and on guard.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked at the peak of the giant mountain next to them, whispering.
"Sister, is that person here to fight?"
"Should be. We have already entered the Domain of a cold Saber Intent. That guy should be a bit stronger than that Uncle Fifty."
"Great, this time it's my turn."
The siblings had excellent eyesight and could clearly see a man sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop.
At this moment, the old woman, who had been regulating her breathing, had already stood up, looked towards the mountaintop, and said in a loud voice: "The Saber Intent is cold and bone-chilling. Are you from the Demon Blade Sect, Your Excellency?"
