Chapter 13704 It Falls in Love with Me
"That's it," Ling Xiao spread his hands and said calmly, "It is indeed a good sword. The Demon Lord is powerful not because of it, but because of itself. The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword is just the icing on the cake.
Even if your Qin family gets it, it won't become much stronger, and will eventually become the target of public criticism, ending up like the Demon Tower and the Righteousness Hall." His voice was low and sincere, and every word seemed to hit Qin Xianglan's heart.
Ling Xiao paused, his eyes fell on Qin Xianglan again, and said seriously: "Of course, if you really want it, I can give it to you now!" After that, he waved his hand lightly, and a black light instantly flew out from the magic needle space.
The light was like a black lightning, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.
The moment the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword appeared, a strong demonic aura rushed over, as if it could swallow everything around it. On the sword body, runes flickered, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura, as if telling of its former glory and honor.
When the sword came into Qin Xianglan's sight, she seemed to be struck by an invisible force, her body trembled violently, and she subconsciously took three steps back. In her eyes, fear surged like a surging tide, as if the sword carried some kind of terrifying magic.
"Why not take it? I'll give it to you!" Ling Xiao had a relaxed smile on his face, and his tone seemed like he was talking about a very ordinary little thing. His voice floated slowly in this slightly quiet space.
"Aren't you afraid that I will really take it and not return it to you?" Qin Xianglan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, like two tangled silk threads. Her eyes were full of doubt and scrutiny. She stared straight at Ling Xiao, with a hint of temptation in her words.
Ling Xiao put away the smile on his face, his expression became extremely serious, he looked at Qin Xianglan with a firm gaze, and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, because I believe Miss Qin will not do that!" That look was like a deep lake, clear to the bottom, without any impurities, full of trust.
Qin Xianglan met Ling Xiao's gaze and looked straight at him without flinching. Their eyes met in the air, and it seemed as if an invisible spark had collided.
After a moment, Qin Xianglan slowly shook her head, her hair swaying gently as she moved. There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice: "But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if I get this sword, I will be controlled by it just like Zhuxue."
When she mentioned the word "control", her tone became slightly heavier and the worry on her face became more intense.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh deeply, and that sigh seemed to carry endless emotion. He shook his head slightly, a hurt look on his face, and said, "What do you think of me, Miss Qin? I'm a good person with good character!" As he spoke, he patted his chest gently with his hand, trying to prove that what he said was true.
Qin Xianglan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "If you were a good person, there would be too many good people in this world!" Her voice was crisp, but like a sharp blade, it pierced straight at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao touched his nose and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, as if Qin Xianglan's words had touched a sore spot.
He sighed again, the sound was long and full of helplessness, and he muttered to himself: "I treat the bright moon with my true heart, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Miss Qin, I am so sad!" As he spoke, he pretended to cover his chest with his hands, and the expression on his face was very exaggerated.
Qin Xianglan stopped her previous laughter and teasing, her expression became extremely serious, and her eyes revealed a determination.
She took a step forward, approached Ling Xiao, and said seriously: "Brother Ling, you are a smart man, I don't want to beat around the bush with you! My Qin family will not give up your sword, and not only my Qin family, but also many unknown forces are eyeing your treasure. If this treasure stays with you, it will be a disaster for you, do you know that?"
When she mentioned the word "disaster", a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, as if she was really worried about Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao nodded gently, his movements neither hurried nor slow, with a look of understanding in his eyes, and said, "I know! So I'm going to give it to you, but the key is that you don't want it! Aren't you just being too hypocritical?" After saying that, he spread out his hands with an innocent expression on his face.
Qin Xianglan's expression changed instantly. Her fair face seemed to be covered by a shadow, and it turned a little gray. She bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in her eyes. Then she took a deep breath and slowly sat back down.
She leaned forward slightly, her hands unconsciously clasped together, her eyes locked on Ling Xiao, and said, "Can you tell me why you don't just abandon this sword? Even if you don't give it to others, you can just throw it away as if you were throwing away a bunch of trouble? I think there should be a reason for this, right?"
There was a hint of eagerness in his words, as if he was eager to dig out the hidden secret from Ling Xiao's mouth.
When Ling Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile that was a bit mysterious.
He raised his hand slowly, gently touched a strand of hair hanging from his forehead, and said, "Because it fell in love with me!" His voice was relaxed, as if he was telling the most ordinary joke, but there was a barely perceptible solemnity in his eyes.
Qin Xianglan's originally slightly furrowed brows instantly became even more twisted. Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold, her voice stopped abruptly in her throat.
Her eyes suddenly glazed over, as if she had suddenly touched something cold, and the temperature around her seemed to drop a few degrees. She suddenly realized the deep chill behind this seemingly joking remark, and that chill was like a beast lurking in the darkness, making people shudder.
"It recognized you?" Qin Xianglan's voice was unconsciously lowered, with a tremor in her eyes, full of shock and disbelief. She stared at Ling Xiao closely, as if she wanted to find confirmation of the answer from his face.
Ling Xiao nodded seriously, his movements steady and firm: "Yes, I can't get rid of this thing now, otherwise, do you think I am willing to bear such a big trouble. It can improve my combat power, but it will bring more troubles. It is not very practical."
Having said that, he sighed slightly, and that sigh was full of helplessness and fatigue, as if the burden brought by the sword had overwhelmed him.
"So, in order to get this sword, I have to kill you first?" The Crown Prince, who had been sitting quietly beside him like a statue, suddenly spoke. He raised his head slightly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, shooting straight at Ling Xiao, his voice low and powerful, echoing in this slightly quiet space, as if carrying a sense of oppression.
