Chapter 156: Consecration of the Divine Sword

Bai He was led out of the main hall by Ye Shiyuan and no longer disturbed Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Xinyi.

Bai He’s emotions were complicated.

When he looked up at the sky outside, he felt as though tears might fall at any moment.

"Master, are you still blaming yourself over this?"

"I just feel that this incident has affected me deeply. Shiyuan, this is the first time I’ve seen someone truly willing to live and die for love."

It was too shocking, Bai He still hadn’t fully processed it.

"Master might encounter something like that one day as well."

Bai He shook his head, a little frightened. "I won’t. I would never hurt myself for someone else."

"Then Master must keep that promise. Never harm yourself for anyone."

Ye Shiyuan would rather Bai He never hold anyone in his heart than see him, like Wanyan Aguda, become trapped and destroyed by love.

He hoped Bai He could remain just as he was now.

"Master, shouldn’t you be worrying about the Nuwa Stone right now? It’s still inside."

Xu Feng couldn’t help but complain.

Bai He shot him a glare. "Why are you so heartless? Aren’t you on good terms with Wanyan Xinyi?"

"We do get along well, but that was the Manor Master’s own decision. We don’t have the right to say his decision was wrong."

If only everyone could be as carefree and unbothered as Xu Feng.

Wanyan Aguda had died and at a time like this, it was naturally inappropriate for Bai He to disturb them.

It wasn’t until three days later, after Wanyan Aguda had been buried, that the three of them went to find Wanyan Xinyi.

Wanyan Xinyi was now the Manor Master of Jurchen Manor.

Although he had once resented his father and hoped to take this position sooner, he did not look happy now that he had it.

"You’ve come."

"Mm. Wanyan Xinyi, please accept our condolences."

Wanyan Xinyi sighed. "Before my father passed, he instructed me to give you the Nuwa Stone. It’s yours now."

Bai He didn’t speak, but Wanyan Xinyi took the initiative to have someone bring out the Nuwa Stone and hand it over to him.

Bai He accepted it without hesitation. "Then many thanks. I’ll return it after I’m done using it."

"Just keep it. If not for the Nuwa Stone, my father wouldn’t have died. This stone is nothing good for Jurchen Manor. You’ve taken what you came for, so I won’t keep you any longer. You may leave."

After speaking, Wanyan Xinyi flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Bai He lowered his head to look at the Nuwa Stone in his hand and quietly put it away.

Since it had been given to him, he would just keep it, what else could he do?

"Master, what exactly is the Nuwa Stone used for?"

Xu Feng had always been curious, because he didn’t know and Bai He had never explained it.

"It’s used to consecrate divine weapon. To simply put, it can restores the Sky Cutting Divine Sword to its former sharpness."

"Oh, so it’s nothing that impressive." Xu Feng had thought it was something that could increase spiritual power, but it turned out to be just that.

Of course, Bai He wasn’t going to tell Xu Feng that the Nuwa Stone’s uses went far beyond that.

He would find out eventually.

After returning to the Wanxi Tavern, Bai He looked at the Nuwa Stone, wondering how to use it for consecration, when there was a knock at the door.

He had no choice but to set the stone aside for now and go open the door.

"Master."

"Shiyuan, what brings you here?"

"Does Master know how to use the Nuwa Stone?"

Ye Shiyuan noticed that Bai He seemed to be studying the stone, which was still on the table.

"Not really."

Perhaps... Ye Shiyuan knew how?

"Master, if you trust me, I can help you."

If Bai He didn’t trust Ye Shiyuan, who could he trust?

He was the protagonist, there was no way he would trick him.

"Alright, come in."

Bai He then stepped aside and allowing Ye Shiyuan to enter the room.

After sitting down, Bai He handed the Nuwa Stone to Ye Shiyuan with a bright smile, then summoned Sky Cutting Sword as well and placed it on the table.

Sky Cutting Sword had been very well-behaved lately.

It showed no resistance toward Ye Shiyuan at all.

When held in his hand, it didn’t struggle in the slightest.

"Master, I need to find a quiet and open place. It’s a bit difficult to carry this out in the inn."

Bai He nodded, feeling that Ye Shiyuan made sense.

After all, Sky Cutting Sword was a divine sword.

"Then Master, should we bring Junior Brother along?"

Bai He shook his head.

Just thinking about Xu Feng made him annoyed. "No, we’ll go secretly."

"Alright, Master."

Bai He followed Ye Shiyuan to a mountaintop.

This was a place Ye Shiyuan had specifically chosen. It was quiet, with no one around.

Even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn’t cause any panic.

Bai He found a spot to sit and quietly watched how Ye Shiyuan used the Nuwa Stone.

"Host, just watch closely."

"What do you mean ’watch closely’?" Bai He didn’t understand what the Black Crow was going on about.

"The protagonist. Look... when the protagonist is by your side, don’t you basically not have to do anything yourself?"

Bai He frowned and said, "I don’t like the way that sounds. What are you implying that I rely on him for everything?"

"Host, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, this was originally a male oriented novel."

Bai He: ...

Alright, he accepted it.

In this kind of situation, it was normal for the protagonist to be capable of everything.

Besides, when Ye Shiyuan was seriously helping Sky Cutting Sword undergo consecration with the Nuwa Stone, the focused and solemn expression on his face was quite handsome.
