Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In some matters, the reaction of the person at the heart of the affair would be the slowest to realize the truth - just like Ji Lingxi right now. She really did not notice the difference that had come over her.

Yu Xiang’er charged over and grabbed Ji Lingxi’s elbow before pushing her sleeve up and doing the same to herself to compare their arms. She cried out in agony, "Look, all of you, look! This girl must have some divine method. All of you, look! How tender is this elbow, how smooth and soft!"

The girls cramped over when they heard her, eyes of various sizes stared in the same direction as a wave of gasps resounded in disbelief. "It’s true! Look at this rosy flush within the fairness… it’s really delicate!"

It was not just Yu Xiang’er; how could any woman protest against the temptation of flawless skin with a complexion as fair as snow and impeccable like jade!

"I’ve bathed with Lingxi last time…" Yu Xiang’er admitted grudgingly, "Her breasts were smaller than mine and her skin was darker than mine… Her breasts are now bigger than mine and her skin is fairer than mine too! She’s already taller than me… This is outshining me in every aspect… Oh my god, I don’t wish to live anymore!"

The other sisters looked at Ji Lingxi curiously as they gathered together. "Lingxi, tell us honestly, what secret have you used?"

"Quick, surrender it and share it with us! Otherwise, we won’t let you go!"

"Exactly right! Be honest and generous, or else we’ll serve you the severest of punishments!"

Ji Lingxi was in a trance as she said in confusion, "Did I… really change? I didn’t notice it… Haven\'t I always…"

"Are you saying that you didn’t change despite these obvious differences? Are you trying to fool a fool?!" The sisters berated her together.

Ji Lingxi wore question marks on her sleeves as she looked utterly lost.

She really could not remember that she had any unusual encounters that could have resulted in this… She had only felt delighted and at ease every time she held the saber. There had been nothing else.

"Then you girls tell me when have I actually changed?" Ji Lingxi asked blearily.

Yu Xiang’er remembered it precisely as she replied immediately, "You began to shed your skin not two to three days after we got out of Tiantang City. You were still complaining about the amount of dead skin you had on yourself then!"

As she spoke, all of them recalled the time. "That’s right, Lingxi. You did complain about it in those days about the ever shedding flakes of skin and we comforted you about it…"

Ji Lingxi recalled it at once but grew even more helpless. "But what is going on? I didn’t have any unusual encounter and all of us are stuck together everyday…"

Yu Xiang’er frowned when she these words and thought hard about it. Suddenly, she said out of nowhere, "Could it be that… could it be that Lingxi has already… um… been… um… in Tiantang City?"

The sisters echoed the question, "Been what?"

Yu Xiang’er blushed and said, "Uh… been… nourished… by… Young Master Yun?"

Her unexpected words were indeed shocking as the girls all blushed at once. They were sisters, after all, so they spoke with fewer qualms; Xia Yuhan slapped her thigh and said, "It must be so. They say women who have been nourished are the most beautiful. Lingxi, tell us honestly, did you give yourself away?"

Ji Lingxi was abashed as she cried out with a sob. Her face was flushed red as she answered, "No, not at all. How could I?"

As she spoke, a sigh followed, "It’s not like you girls don’t know how much a woodblock that fellow is…"

Her sigh resonated with what she felt.

"Oh… why does this girl look like she’s rather disappointed that she didn’t give herself away…" Yu Xiang’er pursed her lips and immediately put her hands on her hips. "Tell us honestly! What is really going on?"

Yue Rulan had not been talking but her eyes had been boring holes at Ji Lingxi’s face in wonder as well as the Phoenix’s Cry in her grasp. The saber had not left her hands since they had left Tiantang City. She spoke while thinking, "Lingxi, pass me your saber."

The girls were intelligent and knowledgeable. Once Yue Rulan remarked upon it, they immediately connected the dots. "Could it be that the oddity lies within the saber?"

Ji Lingxi hesitated. It was not that she was reluctant, she was just not used to the saber leaving her hands.

It was already a habit to constantly have the saber by her side since she had been hugging the saber every day.

Just as Yue Rulan accepted the saber, the Phoenix’s Cry suddenly shook; she almost lost her grip on the saber in surprise.

Yue Rulan exclaimed in shock and raised her head to look at Ji Lingxi. "Lingxi, this Young Master Yun of yours is really generous…"

Ji Lingxi was still in confusion. "What is it?"

Yu Xiang’er came over to snatch the saber. This time, the saber’s reaction grew more vigorous as it kept pulsing in Yu Xiang’er’s hands. Yu Xiang’er quickly returned the saber to Ji Lingxi in fright and watched as the Phoenix’s Cry turned motionless again once it reached Ji Lingxi’s hands. She immediately thought of something as she cried out in shock and envy, "It’s a spiritual treasured saber!"

As her cry rang out, everyone turned silent.

All the girls were elites of noble families, how could they not know the implied meaning behind her words?

A treasured saber that was spiritual picked its own master; once it acknowledged its lord, it would never have any other!

"I have seen the Phoenix’s Cry before." Xia Yuhan was perplexed. "I saw it when it still belonged to Ximen Wandai but the saber was nothing extraordinary then. Not special like it is now…"

"This saber feels a little different than before… Its color and luster are all different…" Xia Yuhan said as she looked at the blade. "What has happened?"

Yue Rulan replied, "There’s probably a new composition within this saber. It was just a normal ladies’ blade when it was with Ximen Wandai but once it got to Young Master Yun Yang, he must have altered something within this saber to allow it to gain its spirituality. It is a great destiny that Lingxi has received this saber by chance."

"The changes occurring within Lingxi’s body had initially happened after we left Tiantang City and the changes for the better were vast within such a short amount of time. I think the flakes shed that you complained about weren’t skin but the impurities of your body. They were being expelled after this saber has fused with your spiritual energy, helping you to cleanse your meridians once the saber became one with you."

"That’s why your body experienced such a change; it was akin to being reborn." Yue Rulan took in a deep breath, her gaze towards Ji Lingxi was filled with envy. "This is why I say… Young Master Yun may look like a woodblock lacking sense on the outside but he’s really treated you well. He has actually given such a precious treasure to you without saying anything. I assume that he must be worried about the pressure you would experience if you knew."

Ji Lingxi’s face was glowing even as she blushed. She asked in barely suppressed delight, "Is it really so?"

"Stupid girl." Yue Rula was truly envious of her now. Oddly enough, she was not jealous about the saber itself; it was the sentiment behind the gift of the saber.

"Its too bad this saber is technically useless to us all because it only belongs to you and won’t be giving us its energy. Yet to you, Lingxi, you can revel in the assistance this saber provides to you anytime…"

Yue Rulan continued, "You have spent just a short duration with this saber and haven’t felt the full extent of its benefits yet. That’s right, your cultivation has advanced to the seventh peak, hasn’t it? You’ve achieved breakthroughs of two levels in just two months. Would this have been possible before? This is how the saber benefits you!"

Ji Lingxi was blushing profusely as she shook her head softly.

All the girls stared at Ji Lingxi in unconcealed envy; a vague sense of jealousy laced within their looks - why isn’t there someone who treats me like this?

However, most of them were happy for Ji Lingxi - for her possession of such a treasured saber and for someone who could give her this saber without hesitation.

Even when it was within all the eight noble families, such a spiritual treasured saber would be considered a peerless gem.

It would be rare to own one even if they were the elites of the families!

"If the Ximen Family knew that this saber has become something like this now… I wonder what sort of remorse would they go through…" Yue Rulan looked at her sisters seriously. "This is something only we know. Never ever leak the knowledge. Otherwise, Lingxi will be in trouble."

All the girls promised fervently, "Don’t worry, this is our secret! How could we expose it?"

That very night, as Ji Lingxi was sleeping in her room, Yu Xiang’er had crawled into her bed and insisted on lying beside her shamelessly. She had hugged Ji Lingxi in their slumber throughout the night, even though the air was warm and humid.

She discovered that she had indeed gained some benefits from the sword the next day - a patch of skin had begun shedding on her elbow.

Therefore, Ji Lingxi was forcibly seized by Yu Xiang’er for the consecutive nights. A few days later, the delightedly mad shrills of Yu Xiang’er attracted everyone’s attention and thus, turning Ji Lingxi into a favorite among the sisters.

There was someone hugging her to sleep every night; each of them shamelessly latching on like a parasite that could not be chased away. They had openly declared that they wanted to bask in the benefit that Young Master Yun had given as well.

"I’m so sleepy…" Ji Lingxi was entering a state of trance by then, yawning deeply from not sleeping well for so many nights after being pestered by her ‘heartless’ sisters.

At least her sisters had started to glow as well.

Finally, the dreaded day arrived. A sudden influx of news banished all the girls’ delight instantaneously.

"… According to our investigation, Young Master Lingfeng has been found. He is the son of Moonshadow City’s master. His name is Niu Lingfeng, born in … year and … month, … years old currently… his appearance… "

The detailed information came like a bolt of thunder to Yue Rulan; her face paled immediately as she almost lost her footing.

Her hope that she had been holding on to for so long shattered into a million pieces.

It wasn\'t him!
