Chapter 43 – Onto The Great Zhou Reputation Ranking

*Want to be my slave for life?*

Zhou Xuanji stopped in his tracks and looked back . He saw Northern Valiant Sword in a kneeling position and was moved slightly .

He could see blood flowing from Northern Valiant Sword’s forehead, like a blood flower blossoming on the ground .

Little Jiang Xue curled her lip and said, “Wasn’t he so arrogant previously?”

He hesitated . There was no harm keeping Northern Valiant Sword under him .

After all, he was going to carry out his revenge plans .

After thinking, he said to Northern Valiant Sword, “Ten days later, If I encounter you in front of the main gate at the border, I will keep you as my slave . ”

After he spoke, he left with Little Jiang Xue .

Northern Valiant Sword heard and became overjoyed . He quickly raised his head and cried, “Thank you, my master!”

All the vital channels in his entire body were severed . To reach the border in ten days was not an easy feat .

Zhou Xuanji did not reply but left quickly with Little Jiang Xue .

The cultivators and commoners did not follow him . They were afraid that they would offend Sword God Zhou .

After the turn of events of being relieved from great danger, the news about Northern Valiant Sword becoming Sword God Zhou’s sword slave would definitely become popular news .

Zhang Ruyu looked at Northern Valiant Sword, and he rolled his eyes in thought .

Seeing that Northern Valiant Sword had successfully joined Sword God Zhou’s party, he was a little moved too .

However, to become a sword slave meant that he would lose his freedom . He would not be that reckless .

He should have just admired Sword God Zhou in his heart .

Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue walked briskly in the alley towards the city gate .

“Are you really taking him along?”

Little Jiang Xue said reluctantly . She loved to spend time alone with Zhou Xuanji; it would be so uncomfortable with an extra person along with them .

Zhou Xuanji said, “Don’t worry, when the time comes, I will just let him stay outside the valley to guard the place for us . ”

Northern Valiant Sword was talented and was quite powerful .

Although Northern Valiant Sword was not a threat to the Empress of Great Zhou, it was not bad to have one more runner serving him .

Little Jiang Xue understood and felt that it was reasonable .

With Northern Valiant Sword’s abilities, when danger came, he could become a shield for them .

They continued moving .

After they passed by two streets, Zhou Xuanji suddenly stopped .

His eyes were burning with anger . He turned back and shouted, “Who is following me again?”

Little Jiang Xue heard too and anxiously turned to take a look .

She saw a lady dressed in black walk out from the corner . She was beautiful . Her long hair was coiled to the top of her head, and her face looked rather cold . Despite being cold, she appeared attractive overall .

“Who are you?” Zhou Xuanji asked in a low voice .

He could see that the lady had the cultivation of Foundation Building Level One and was not a threat to him .

The lady in black grit her teeth, walked to him, and knelt down, saying, “Senior, we have met previously . I wanted to become your maidservant, but you did not agree . ”

“It’s you!”

Little Jiang Xue opened her eyes wide . Back then, the lady’s face was full of dirt, so she did not expect her to look so beautiful .

The lady in black nodded and said, “I’m Huang Lianxin . I really hope that you can take me in because I have nowhere else to go . ”

Zhou Xuanji said, frowning, “Tell me clearly, what’s your motive!”

The lady was so determined to become his maidservant, there must be some ulterior motive .

Huang Lianxin bowed her head and took a deep breath . “I want revenge,” she said .

I knew it!

Zhou Xuanji cursed in his heart: I have yet to have my revenge, and now you want me to help you?

“The truth is, I have a deep-seated hatred towards the Great Zhou’s royal family . ”

Huang Lianxin continued saying but she was unaware of Zhou Xuanji’s thoughts .

Great Zhou’s royal family?

“Oh?” Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes and asked, “Who in the Great Zhou’s royal family?”

“Zhou Yalong!” Huang Lianxin gnashed her teeth as she said, “When I was still a child, Zhou Yalong came to the city where I was living . He lost his mind in his cultivation and slaughtered the entire city . My father hid me in the cellar, so I survived…”

“The entire city was filled with fire and corpses… I will never forget that scene…”

Zhou Xuanji was shocked . Zhou Yalong lost his mind in his cultivation?

Why had he never heard of it before?

But it was reasonable after some thought . If news of such a thing spread, it would inevitably impact Zhou Yalong’s reputation negatively . It could be that the story about the event was already suppressed .

There were so many cities in the Great Zhou Empire; destroying one city would not have a significant impact across the entire empire .

“That is Zhou Yalong, you want me to die?”

Zhou Xuanji seemed indifferent as he asked . Little Jiang Xue watched Huang Lianxin in vigilance .

Previously, when she was captured by Yellow Gust Seventeen Fiends, she heard legends about Zhou Yalong .

He was even more powerful than Sword Noble Xiao Jinghong .

More importantly, he was likely to become the next emperor of Great Zhou, and the entire Great Zhou would be in his hands .

The Great Zhou’s emperor was even more powerful that the Gulan Demon Monarch .

Huang Lianxin lifted up her head and said, “Because of how talented you are, I can see that although you are not even ten years old, you are mature . With your talent, you are someone that can stand up against Zhou Yalong . ”

Zhou Xuanji knitted his brow and asked, “How can you be sure that I’m less than ten years old?”

Huang Lianxin said sincerely, “I have my talent . Ever since I became conscious, I could see through the vital channels and bones in the human body . From my experience, I can judge the age of your bones to be less than ten years old . ”

Zhou Xuanji was stunned . Little Jiang Xue was in shock too .

Penetrative sight?

Zhou Xuanji looked at her in admiration, this girl was fortunate .

If she really had such a talent, she was worthy of nurturing .

He had already taken in a sword slave, so what if he took another one?

He would be dealing with the Great Zhou Empress in the future anyway, so naturally, he would offend Zhou Yalong .

At that time, Huang Lianxin would surely take him on .

He muttered, “Stand up . Follow us . ”

After she heard him, Huang Lianxin lifted up her head in joy .

Little Jiang Xue opened her eyes wide and randomly thought about how many beautiful wives and concubines Zhou Xuanji would have after he grew up . She instantly became angry and pinched Zhou Xuanji’s waist .

Tssss–

Zhou Xuanji sucked in a breath of air . With Huang Lianxin around, he dared not to cry in pain, but could only endure it .

And so, Huang Lianxin became his maidservant .

After leaving the Cloud Swallow City, the three of them continued to walk toward another city .

Huang Lianxin bought a carriage with her own money, for Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue to heal from their injuries . With such an understanding gesture, she won Little Jiang Xue’s acceptance .

This lady was not so unlikeable after all .

As Zhou Xuanji watched the two of them chatting joyfully, he sighed in amazement . What a silly girl, it seemed that he must watch over her closely in the future, or else she might not realize, even if she was sold by someone else .

Two days later, they came to another city . By this time, Zhou Xuanji was fully recovered from his injuries .

Little Jiang Xue’s physique was not as good as his, so she was still limping as she walked . Fortunately, Huang Lianxin was there to support her .

After they entered the city, they began purchasing all the supplies they needed, including food and materials .

Zhou Xuanji was already sick of eating roasted meat without salt .

Eight days later…

They came to the border . From afar, Zhou Xuanji could see Northern Valiant Sword standing at the gate .

Northern Valiant Sword saw them too and immediately got excited .

At that time, Zhou Xuanji had already taken off his mask, but he remembered Little Jiang Xue .

He did not make a commotion but watched silently as Zhou Xuanji walked over .

“Tsk tsk, have you heard it? Sword God Zhou entered the Reputation Ranking of Great Zhou!”

“Of course . Killing the Old Qing and destroying the demon prince’s flesh, how could he not become famous?”

“Yeah! Even senior Northern Valiant Sword submitted to him . ”

“After the battle at the Cloud Swallow City, Sword God Zhou became famous throughout the Great Zhou Empire . ”

“I heard that Sword God Zhou has the body of a dwarf, is this true?”

As they walked past the city gate, Zhou Xuanji and the others heard the guards commenting on Sword God Zhou .
