My Arms Can Turn into Blades

"Really!? Really!?"

Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Seventh Floor.

Tang Language’s eyes lit up, she quickly stepped forward and said to Chen Lusi with surprise, "Are you really going to come back with me to see my grandmother?"

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at Tang Language, who was right in front of her, acting like a foolish fawn after a day of cowardice yesterday but now back to being herself after a night’s sleep.

For a moment, she even regretted coming to find her.

But quickly, Chen Lusi dismissed the thought, leaned back slightly to put some distance, and said helplessly, "Yes, I have some things I want to ask your grandmother..."

"Great!"

Before she finished speaking.

Tang Language interrupted him, her slightly fox-charming face full of happiness, "These past days have been driving me crazy! My grandmother constantly worries about me being carelessly slept with, bullied, even sold by me, or beaten to death by someone! She worries about everything!

It’s making me feel like an idiot! With Xia Yue dead, I’m just like a lamb to the slaughter!

You just have to help me prove! Prove in front of my grandmother that I’m not that kind of person!"

"..."

Chen Lusi fell silent again, looking at Tang Language, who started complaining right in front of her.

On the other side.

Xiang Yi, who was nearby, rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

Never mind proving to Tang Language’s grandmother.

Even now, hearing Tang Language’s words, she felt worried...

Thinking of this.

Xiang Yi said helplessly, "Tang Language."

"Hmm?"

Tang Language turned her head to look at Xiang Yi, her clear but silly eyes blinking gently.

Xiang Yi pushed up her glasses on her delicate nose and said softly, "I suggest you don’t speak when you go back, practice the art of silence, otherwise you might not be able to come out later."

Tang Language was surprised, "Huh? Why?"

"I think so too."

Chen Lusi nodded in agreement, "Just take me there, and let me do the talking with your grandmother."

"Huh!? What do you mean! I can’t speak when I get home? That doesn’t make sense!"

Tang Language was a bit anxious upon hearing this, but halfway through speaking, she suddenly realized, her eyes widened, "You wouldn’t... think the same, would you!? Do I really look that silly???"

"I didn’t think that."

Chen Lusi interrupted her directly, "Let’s go, how do we get there?"

"..."

Tang Language carefully observed Chen Lusi’s expression, realizing he genuinely didn’t seem to be mocking her, obediently stopped talking, and just extended a small, fair hand to Chen Lusi, "Oh... Then hold my hand, it’s usually hard to find Qingqiu."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment, then gently held her hand.

Tang Language slowly closed her eyes.

Xiang Yi stood aside, witnessing this, suddenly said, "Chen Lusi, take good care of Tang Language... Actually, most members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion don’t want Tang Language to leave."

Chen Lusi nodded, "I know."

Just as she finished speaking.

"Let’s go!"

Tang Language suddenly opened her eyes, her hair fluttering back, nine white fox tail shadows swaying in the wind behind her, standing upright like a peacock spreading its tail.

Immediately after.

The snow-white fox tails swiftly gathered.

The two disappeared from their original spot.

"..."

Xiang Yi looked at where Tang Language and Chen Lusi once stood, suddenly remembered something, muttering, "Oh no... I forgot to introduce Tang Language’s grandmother."

...

Blindfolded.

Then walked forward in the dark, with the eyes receiving no reference information from the surroundings, the brain couldn’t adjust the impact of step differences.

But he had to move forward... because not moving might mean being stuck here forever.

This is how Chen Lusi felt right now.

The experience was very similar to passing through the Bronze Gate.

Of course, compared to the already destroyed Bronze Gate, there were certain differences.

For instance, Chen Lusi could distinctly sense Tang Language right beside him... even sensing her breathing.

Back when passing through the Bronze Gate, it wasn’t possible to sense anything.

So he walked a distance in the dark.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared in front of him...

Chen Lusi, in a daze, found the environment before his eyes had changed... Not far away, mountains stretched endlessly, peaks shrouded by white clouds, and on both sides, dense bushes blocked the way to any other direction, looming sky-high.

He could only move forward or retreat.

Chen Lusi glanced back... behind him, thick fog like viscous liquid filled the space, with visibility less than half a meter, he guessed.

... Retreating was certainly not an option.

So.

Chen Lusi turned back around.

Before him flowed a stream like a silver ribbon snaking down the mountain, the crystal-clear water was pure and clean.

"Cross this stream, and it’s Qingqiu."

Tang Language stood beside, said delightedly, "Let’s go!"

Having said this.

She slightly lifted her skirt and walked forward, wading through the water.

Chen Lusi inspected the surroundings, then followed Tang Language forward.

As soon as he stepped into the stream, the icy current hit Chen Lusi’s ankle, bringing a refreshing sensation.

But strangely... his shoes didn’t get wet, the flowing water felt like mist.

Wait.

Chen Lusi suddenly stopped, realizing something was amiss.

"This is Spirit, see."

Tang Language pranced to the other side and turned around smiling, seeing Chen Lusi looking down, she cheerfully explained, "I loved bathing here when I was a kid, it’s so comfy!"

"..."

Chen Lusi was stunned, amazed.

The rare spirit from outside had formed into a stream... that’s too remarkable.

"So where is this exactly?"

Chen Lusi gazed at the stream, then came to Tang Language’s side, curiously asking.
