Chapter 2511 - 687: Returning to Xuandu City, Facing Setbacks at My Own Company (Part 3)
Gu Yelin carried the tray over and carefully placed food on her plate, "The sweet and sour pork with pineapple is made by grandma, and the stir-fried bamboo shoots are made by me. Didn’t you say you wanted to eat my cooking before? Here, try it and see if I’ve improved."
An Yiqing took the chopsticks and tasted a bite. That familiar taste and the gentle, low voice in her ear made her eyes heat up, almost bringing her to tears. She looked at Gu Yelin with reddened eyes, her voice soft, "Ah Lin, your cooking is still the best..."
Gu Yelin smiled, gently stroking the woman’s hair with a soft and doting voice, "If you like it, eat more. You’re too thin now, you need to eat more."
An Yiqing nodded like a little chick pecking rice, then dove into the food, devouring it ravenously.
The meal consisted of four dishes, which the two of them finished completely. An Yiqing leaned back in her chair, her little belly full, with a look of contentment on her face.
"Ah Lin, you and grandma’s cooking is the best, I’m stuffed."
Gu Yelin curled his lips upward, pulling An Yiqing to her feet, "Walk around the house for a bit, it helps with digestion."
The two walked back and forth in the bedroom a few times before taking the tray downstairs together. Kong Shi and An Zisheng were holding Little Bun, strolling leisurely in the yard. They greeted An Yiqing as she came down, but didn’t say much more.
An Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief and gave Little Bun a big kiss. Then she and Gu Yelin went to the kitchen to clean the dishes and tidy up before leaving.
"Ah Lin, is the Ancient Martial World still chasing us strictly now?"
In the corridor, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin walked hand in hand, slowly moving forward. The cool breeze gently lifted her hair. Gu Yelin raised his hand to tuck the stray hair behind her ear, speaking in a deep, magnetic voice.
"After Fengluan Mountain, the main forces of those families were killed by me, so their current power is not to be feared. They can only jump around in the Ancient Martial World but don’t have the ability to extend their reach to the mundane world."
An Yiqing nodded, "That’s good. I want to take grandpa and grandma back to Xuandu City. After all, old folks are more comfortable in familiar places. Although this place is nice, it’s too remote. Grandpa and grandma are quite bored. Now that Ah Feng and the others’ strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, they can also help share some of the burden. Plus, with Mr. Wu’s protection, grandpa and grandma’s risk isn’t too great."
Gu Yelin thought about it and agreed. Old folks like to find an old friend, leisurely walk in a garden, or play chess. Being cooped up in this Dashan is quite distressing for them, too.
"So, what about this house? What are you planning to do?"
An Yiqing thought for a bit and shook her head, "I haven’t decided yet. I originally built this house to take refuge and for the Heavenly Dao. Now the Ancient Martial World is no longer a threat, it’s only the Heavenly Dao that hasn’t come. We might as well leave it empty for now, and decide later. After all, the Great Formation for Extermination of Immortals is a crucial tool against the Heavenly Dao."
Gu Yelin did not object, just tightened his grip on An Yiqing’s hand. There was only a year and a half left until the calamity approached. The Chosen One must also begin her mission, though the outcome was still uncertain!
Both were deep in thought when suddenly, Gu Yelin stopped walking, causing An Yiqing, who hadn’t noticed, to stumble.
"What’s wrong?" she asked, full of confusion.
Gu Yelin shook his head, "I suddenly remembered something I forgot to tell you."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and grasped the air. A dazzling light flashed, and a giant sword appeared out of thin air.
The Sky Devil Sword!
An Yiqing raised her eyebrows, scrutinizing the sword with curiosity, "What’s up with this sword?"
"Do you know the origin of this sword?" Gu Yelin asked.
An Yiqing nodded, taking the giant sword from Gu Yelin’s hand. It was three inches wide and three feet long. The blade was the color of Xuan Mo, and the edge was sharp. Complex totems encircled the blade, crafted with exquisite skill. On closer inspection, the Sky Devil Sword was forged as a single piece from hilt to body, without a single seam.
The High Priest of the White Tiger Clan once said that the Sky Devil Sword is a magical weapon nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with terrifying power. In the past, Ancestor Hongjun, the founder of the Heavenly Dao, exhausted his cultivation to seal the Sky Devil Sword, and he was severely injured. From then on, Hongjun determined that the God-Devil Physique must not exist in the world. The Sky Devil Sword is part of the God-Devil Physique, and once a person and the sword are united, the consequences could be disastrous.
So, for thousands of years, there have been rumors in the Ancient Martial World about the God-Devil Physique destroying all life. Everyone took advantage of the fact that the God-Devil Physique hadn’t awakened to eliminate them one by one from this world. Until Gu Yelin appeared, breaking this rule.
