The young girl nodded and continued, “I know that after you died in battle, you were completely devastated. The rare metal for the divine sword couldn’t be melted without a medium. I thought, the last thing I could do was fulfill your final wish—to forge the divine sword. So, I jumped into the sword-forging pool… The divine sword has a spirit, and my soul has been trapped inside it ever since, until the moment your blood awakened me…”
William Foster couldn’t help but laugh, “Icy, isn’t this a bit too unbelievable? The State of Qi was destroyed over two thousand years ago. How am I supposed to believe you? Besides, if you really are a soul, why do you have a physical body? And it’s even warm?”
Icy’s expression dimmed, and she said, “After a thousand years of cultivation, I already have a physical form. Inside the divine sword, there are many terrifying sword spirits. Icy was very scared, but I knew that one day, my brother would come to save Icy. But brother… why don’t you remember Icy?”
“Wait, can you prove it? Why do you think I’m your brother, Young Master Yangsheng?” William Foster felt a headache coming on, even thinking this was all just a dream.
Icy looked a bit lost and whispered, “Your blood, your primal spirit, both tell me you are my brother… And, the only person who can activate the Feiyu Divine Sword with blood is you, brother…”
“Brother, if you don’t believe me, please hold my hand…” Icy suddenly reached out her snow-white little hand.
William Foster’s heart fluttered as he gently held Icy’s hand, unable to help but let his thoughts wander. What a snow-white, smooth little hand this was!
But suddenly, his mind spun, and the surroundings changed completely. The tall city walls, soldiers clad in armor, spears and halberds gleaming coldly—this was the main city of the State of Qi! Below the city, chaos reigned. A silver-armored general was covered in blood, gripping a heavy sword and fighting desperately, but in the end, two long swords pierced his chest. His gaze turned dim, filled with unwillingness and rage.
The scene shifted. Amid swirling smoke and scorching heat in the sword-forging tower, a white-clad young girl stood atop the towering furnace wall, her skirt fluttering like a fairy. Tears streamed down her face as she softly murmured, “Brother, you must find me…”
In that misty sorrow, the girl drifted down, thunder rumbled faintly in the sky, and the Feiyu Divine Sword was thus forged!
……
“Ah!”
William Foster snapped back to reality. The scene just now felt so familiar. Could that white-robed, silver-armored general really have been himself?
Even so, William Foster still couldn’t believe it. What era was this? Rockets had already gone to space, and in such a technologically advanced age, there were actually incidents involving souls!
Glancing at the Feiyu Sword, which still gleamed coldly, William Foster’s heart stirred. Was this really the divine sword he had forged in a previous life?
Thinking of this, William Foster reached out and gripped the sword hilt. Suddenly, he felt a surge of joy from the blade. With a slight force, the Feiyu Sword was already in his hand. It wasn’t heavy at all—light as a feather, with flowing light swirling as he waved it!
Icy laughed joyfully at his side, “Brother, now you believe it, right? After your blood fused with the divine sword, only you can wield it!”
William Foster’s heart leapt, and he asked, “Icy, the Jiang clan of the State of Qi… aren’t they descendants of Jiang Ziya, Grand Duke Jiang?”
“Mhm, Grand Duke was the very first Minggong of the State of Qi!”
Icy nodded slightly, her blue hair swaying gently, looking very beautiful.
William Foster was secretly delighted—he was actually a descendant of Jiang Ziya!
Icy’s gaze fell on the Qingnang Heavenly Book: “Huh? Isn’t this the national book?”
William Foster was startled and asked, “National book? Wasn’t this book passed down by Hua Tuo? How did it become the national book of Qi?”
Icy explained, “Actually, this heavenly book wasn’t written by Hua Tuo. What Hua Tuo wrote was only the surface-level medical theory. The true mysteries of the heavenly book, I’m afraid, have yet to be fully deciphered by anyone!”
Were there even deeper cultivation methods?
William Foster was amazed, but Icy just smiled and said, “Now I finally understand why the divine sword sensed your location! It was because of the national book! When your blood dripped onto the spiritual national book, the Feiyu Divine Sword sensed it, broke through the earth, and brought me here!”
“You mean, this divine sword was originally buried underground?”
“Yes, that should be the case. I don’t know how long I was in the sword, but I know it was a very long time. I slept for so long, and never thought I’d see you again, brother!”
After speaking, Icy smiled through her tears and threw herself into William Foster’s arms again.
Actually, William Foster was a normal man. He’d lived for over twenty years without ever touching a woman, and the girl before him was elegant, beautiful, and far beyond any of those alternative girls in the city. So, William Foster couldn’t possibly remain indifferent, but the one in his arms was his sister from a previous life—how could he push her away?
……
At this moment, perhaps because Icy’s voice was too loud, she actually disturbed Tommy next door.
Tommy knocked on the door: “William Foster, what are you doing in there? Why is there a woman’s voice in your room?”
William Foster was startled and hurriedly said to Icy, “Icy, quick, find a place to hide!”
