Chapter 2: Mrs. Spirit Sword, you don't want your master to be bullied, do you?
Dong Mo examined the information panel of the Purple Nether Sword and pondered it carefully.
So, in other words...
I just need to use my own spiritual energy to nurture this sword and clear all the blockages inside, and I can increase its favorability and complete the mission, right?
Thinking of this, Dong Mo immediately prepared to channel his spiritual energy to attack the Purple Nether Sword...
However, just as he was about to infuse his spiritual energy, he noticed that Xiao Bai was staring intently at him from the side.
"..."
Dong Mo's fingers froze in mid-air, feeling a chill run down his spine under Xiao Bai's gaze, and dared not make a move.
The reason is simple—it's just too awkward.
After all... as a transmigrator, Dong Mo really didn't want to expose his system abilities in front of Xiao Bai.
Moreover, taking advantage of someone's family heirloom sword in front of the victim is exactly like the wife-in-law crime in some doujinshi!
Thinking of this, Dong Mo's lips twitched slightly.
"Um... Xiao Bai, could you... step outside for a bit? Could you please leave us alone for a bit?"
Xiao Bai was somewhat confused: "Young Master, what do you want to do? If you want to look at the sword, then look at the sword. Why do you want me to go out?"
Dong Mo scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Well... I want to examine this sword more closely. With you staring at it, I'm a little... uncomfortable."
Xiao Bai nodded, seemingly understanding, "In that case, I'll go out then..."
After saying that, Xiao Bai, like a helpless husband threatened by his own heartless boss, looked longingly at the Purple Nether Sword in Dong Mo's hand, slunk out of the room, and closed the door behind him.
After Xiao Bai left, Dong Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He then redirected his spiritual energy and carefully poured it into the Purple Nether Sword, focusing his attention on sensing the blocked points within the sword.
However, as soon as Dong Mo's spiritual energy entered the sword, it was as if swallowed by a bottomless abyss, without causing the slightest ripple, let alone finding any blockage.
"Huh? How could this happen? Is the output not enough?"
Dong Mo refused to believe it and increased his spiritual energy output, intending to see what was inside the Purple Nether Sword.
Just then, the system panel suddenly lit up, and the line of delicate handwriting displayed on it almost made Dong Mo faint from anger.
[The Purple Nether Sword believes you are even weaker than Xiao Bai.]
With your weak and feeble Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power, as thin as a bean sprout, how could you possibly satisfy her?
Upon seeing this line of small print, Dong Mo instantly became furious.
After all, a man can never be told he's no good, especially if he's blond!
"Hmph... Fine, fine! That's what you're saying about me, isn't it?"
"Bean sprouts, huh? Soft and weak, huh?"
"Today I'm going to show you, you bitch, the power of my Double Pupil Saint Body!"
"Double Pupil Holy Body! Activate it for me!"
As soon as Dong Mo finished speaking, the two pupils in his eyes instantly turned into four.
Double pupils, also known as celestial pupils.
This sacred body is said to be able to see through all illusions, and at its peak, it can even see through all the laws of the world.
What the eye can see is the intertwining of the Tao and the principles of heaven and earth.
As Dong Mo activated his double pupils' ability to see through objects, the 360 blocked points within the Purple Nether Sword were clearly exposed to him.
"Tsk...it's really congested this badly?"
Dong Mo frowned slightly. "This situation is worse than I expected. However, with the help of double pupils, resolving these blockages is only a matter of time."
After saying that, he redirected his spiritual power and aimed it at the first node.
With the aid of the double pupils, Dong Mo's spiritual power did not sink into the sea like last time. Instead, it pierced the blockage inside the sword with unparalleled accuracy, like a key being inserted into a rusted lock.
The text on the system panel also changes accordingly.
[The Purple Nether Sword felt incredibly refreshed, like rain after a long drought; she sensed that the blockages within her body were beginning to clear.]
[Purple Nether Sword's favorability increased, progress in the romance guide 5%]
Current status: Unknown
"Phew... at least there's a response!"
Dong Mo smiled and increased the flow of spiritual energy.
But he soon discovered that the speed at which he was channeling spiritual energy seemed to have slowed down.
The system panel also refreshed with a line of small text.
The Purple Nether Sword felt a surge of pleasure, but her own moral compass wouldn't allow her to accept the spiritual power of an outsider. She felt she was a spirit sword with a master, and although she looked down on Xiao Bai, she couldn't betray him.
[The Purple Nether Sword is resisting; progress has stalled.]
Dong Mo frowned.
Huh? Why is this Bitch Sword acting all coy?
Since that's the case! Then I'll make you feel like you're in heaven!
Thinking of this, Dong Mo immediately stuffed a handful of pills that could replenish spiritual power into his mouth to increase the output of spiritual power. Immediately, the light in his double pupils became even brighter, and spiritual energy surged into the Purple Nether Sword like a tide.
The Purple Nether Sword felt filthy; it was trying to repel the host's blocked spiritual energy. The Purple Nether Sword thought to itself, "If it weren't for Xiao Bai, I wouldn't let a dirty blond like you touch me..."
Dong Mo frowned as he looked at the system panel. From the perspective of his double pupils, the first blockage point of the Purple Nether Sword was about to be broken through by his spiritual power.
However, no matter how he tried, there was absolutely no sign of breaking through the blockage.
"Tsk... so close. It seems this Purple Nether Sword truly resists me..."
Dong Mo stopped channeling spiritual energy and rubbed his temples.
But then, as if he had just realized something, he grinned maliciously as if he had just understood.
Although this sword dislikes Xiao Bai, she actually cares about him a lot.
Since that's the case, why don't I use Xiao Bai as a pretext?
Realizing this, Dong Mo immediately pressed the Purple Nether Sword against his face and slowly spoke, mimicking classic lines from certain Japanese literary works.
"Mrs. Ziming, you don't want... Xiao Bai to be bullied by me, do you? If you don't want Xiao Bai to be bullied by me, then obediently release the restrictions and cooperate with me!"
As soon as Dong Mo finished speaking, the panel changed.
[The Purple Nether Sword thought you were utterly shameless, and then obediently released the restrictions on its blade.]
"Hehehe... Done!"
Dong Mo smiled as he channeled spiritual energy into the sword. Immediately afterward, the bottleneck within the sword, which had been blocked for countless years, was finally broken through.
A fleeting purple halo appeared on the surface of the Purple Nether Sword before disappearing.
Sensing the changes within his body, the Purple Nether Sword felt incredibly refreshed and unrestrained. Could it be… that you, blondie, understand me better than Xiao Bai?
[Purple Sword's favorability increased; progress: 15%]
Current favorability rating: Slightly surprised
Looking at the significantly increased favorability rating on the panel, Dong Mo smiled smugly.
"In that case, let's keep up the good work!"
Dong Mo's double pupils swept over the sword, and then he began to tackle the second blockage. This time, the Purple Nether Sword did not resist him as it had before.
Dong Mo's spiritual power, like a battering ram, suddenly widened the spiritual energy circulation within the sword, forcibly breaking through the second blockage point within the Purple Nether Sword.
The Purple Nether Sword has fallen; it craves more spiritual power.
[Purple Sword's favorability increased; progress: 20%]
Current favorability rating: Curious
"Tsk... what a troublesome little devil."
Dong Mo shook his head, but his fingers didn't stop.
The third place, the fourth place, the fifth place...
Dong Mo's spiritual power surged within the Purple Nether Sword, making the sword increasingly bright. Under Dong Mo's constant stimulation, the spirituality within the sword was gradually awakening.
[Oh ho ho... The Purple Nether Sword feels very satisfied; it hasn't felt this comfortable in a long time...]
[Purple Nether Sword Affection Level Increase Progress: 25%]
Current favorability level: Familiar
Looking at the terrible text displayed on the panel, Dong Mo's lips twitched.
Why is Haji Tun's pop-up ad getting more and more inappropriate?
But then I thought, if his system dares to be called the Yellow Hair System, it can't possibly be a legitimate system...
As for Xiao Bai's spirit sword... it's definitely not a proper spirit sword!
Just then, something unexpected happened!
The Purple Nether Sword suddenly shone with a dazzling purple light, and then, like a vortex, it uncontrollably and frantically devoured Dong Mo's spiritual power.
"Holy crap..."
Dong Mo's face turned pale, and he felt the spiritual energy in his body surging wildly towards the sword like water bursting its banks.
Dong Mo tried to pull his hand away, but found that it was as if his hand was stuck to the hilt of the sword, and he couldn't shake it off at all.
[The Purple Nether Sword has developed a taste for your spiritual power; it finds it even more delicious than she imagined! She wants more! More!]
[Warning: Host's spiritual energy is about to run out!]
Dong Mo's brows twitched as he watched helplessly as his cultivation level, which was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, plummeted towards the early Foundation Establishment stage!
At the same time, four or five more blockages within the sword were broken through under the infusion of Dong Mo's spiritual power.
"Oh no! This sword is becoming addictive!"
While complaining loudly, Dong Mo frantically stuffed pills into his mouth to prevent himself from being drained by the Purple Nether Sword.
However, Dong Mo's speed in taking the medicine could not keep up with the speed at which the Purple Nether Sword was being drawn.
Just as Dong Mo's cultivation was about to drop to the Qi Refining stage and be completely drained by the Purple Nether Sword.
A new notification suddenly popped up on the system panel.
[The Purple Sword is full, and she feels incredibly happy and content being with you. She thinks you're much better than that unromantic, stingy Xiao Bai...]
[Purple Nether Sword's favorability increased, progress: 35%]
Current favorability rating: Like
Then, as if it had finally eaten its fill and remembered to pay, the Purple Nether Sword trembled violently.
Immediately, an extremely pure spiritual energy flowed back from Dong Mo's fingertips, accompanied by a powerful sword intent comprehension, continuously surging into Dong Mo's body.
[As the Purple Nether Sword's favorability rating rose to "like," it began to actively replenish its spiritual energy and infuse the host's body with a faint trace of sword intent left behind by the Sword Saint of Asking Snow.]
