Chapter 136.2 : This… Works Too (Part 2)
But unexpectedly, Chu Ge grabbed her foot in one swift motion.
"Master… this… also works."
"You—! Rebellious disciple, you're becoming more and more outrageous!"
Luo Huangjun's breathing rose and fell as she spoke those words after quite some time. Yet in the end, she still—somewhat unwillingly—followed Chu Ge's intentions and began to act accordingly.
...
Lying back comfortably on the bed, Chu Ge turned his head to look at Luo Huangjun, who was off to the side carefully cleaning her lustrous toes. He couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.
New achievement unlocked!
Though his mood was exceptionally good, Chu Ge did not forget his other purpose for coming here today.
"Master, do you still remember that I once said I would gift you a sword?"
Chu Ge's words made Luo Huangjun pause slightly. She then replied,
"I remember."
Of course she did.
Or rather, every word Chu Ge spoke while with her, every action he took, even every subtle movement—she remembered all of it with perfect clarity.
"What? Have you found a sword that you believe is worthy of your master?"
Hearing this, Chu Ge smiled with confidence.
"Naturally."
"Or rather… in this world, only you, Master, are worthy of it—and only this sword is worthy of you."
By now, Luo Huangjun had finished cleaning up. Hearing Chu Ge's confident words, she turned around to look at him, a barely perceptible trace of anticipation flashing through her eyes.
In truth, she had been looking forward to this for a long time.
It was simply her nature—she would never bring it up herself, only wait quietly. She trusted that Chu Ge would not disappoint her.
Meeting Luo Huangjun's gaze, Chu Ge willed it with a thought.
One black sword and one white sword slowly manifested before the master and disciple.
Luo Huangjun's eyes were instantly drawn to the pure white sword, Huangyu (Phoenix Feather).
The Immortal Phoenix Spirit within her body—long dormant without the slightest movement—stirred at this very moment.
"This is…?"
Curiosity welled up in her heart as Luo Huangjun looked at Chu Ge, then examined the other sword as well—the pitch-black Fengling (Phoenix Plume).
Chu Ge naturally noticed her reaction. Smiling, he spoke again,
"Master, do you know what this pair of swords is called?"
"Stop being mysterious—just say it!"
Luo Huangjun shot him a reproachful glare.
The charm flowing from her eyes at that moment was something even she herself failed to realize—how irresistibly alluring it was.
Chu Ge was very satisfied with her reaction. Teasing his master into showing expressions she rarely revealed was one of his personal pleasures.
Luo Huangjun herself had gradually realized this through their time together, and she was more than willing to indulge this little quirk of her rebellious disciple.
"Master… this black sword is called Fengling. The white sword is called Huangyu…"
"And when combined, they are known as…"
As he spoke, Chu Ge walked toward Luo Huangjun.
Her emotions were drawn along by his words, her heart pounding faster and faster in her chest.
"Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix."
Chu Ge's soft words reached her ears.
Luo Huangjun didn't even notice the damp warmth brushing against her earlobe. In her mind, only those three words echoed over and over.
Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix?
Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix!
She could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart.
Turning around abruptly, she wrapped her arms tightly around Chu Ge, releasing the feelings that had burst forth from within her in the most direct and decisive way possible.
