The Sword Palace: Book 5 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  "It wasn't your delusion. I feel I’ve become stronger too." Apparently, White Lotus realized something. Holding her sister's hands with a smile, she quietly took a glance at a corner under the stage.

  To them, every insignificant progress in their powers was meaningful, because they had their own "secret".

  "Hua Huo, what's wrong?" He finally realized that his childhood sweetheart's face looked strange.

  Doubt, unease, anger, reluctance, happiness... it was really hard to believe that she could show so many expressions on her face at the same time.

  "Humph! It's all your fault!" It was good to become stronger, but she wouldn't forget Yun Xi's eyes when he looked at Mumu!

  Even becoming stronger couldn't make her lose her focus on this!

  She swore that there must be something wrong. She wasn't going to turn a blind eye to it!

  Did anything happen when Yun Xi was on the desert island? Only during that period of time was she not staying with him.

  "Tell me the truth, Little Xi! How did you find her?" Hua Huo questioned him with an undisguised jealous look.

  "Well... it was just an accident... I just found her..." Yun Xi felt that his familiar girlfriend in his memory had just returned.

  As expected, no matter how strong Hua Huo had become, she was still the familiar girl in his heart. She never changed.

  "I! Don't! Believe! It!" She said as she ground her teeth.

  How can anyone find a silver-haired little girl on a desert island so easily? Is this the plot from a fantasy novel that was already out of date a thousand years ago?

  It must be because of a conspiracy! She didn't believe that it was an accident at all.

  How can I give you a chance! Even Ye Li, El'phyllis and Meilei had all been defeated by me, how can I let you steal the fruit of my victory away?

  I know everything about him, including his favorite clothes, favorite food and drink, and his favorite girls in the books he hid secretly! How can I be defeated by you, a little girl from nowhere?

  "It's true! This is the first time I've seen her after leaving the Water God's world!" Of course, Yun Xi wouldn't tell Hua Huo that he had planted his seed into her body.

  He didn't lie, he just told her the truth selectively!

  "Really?" As his childhood sweetheart, she could easily detect it if he was lying.

  Yes, he didn't lie. This really was their first meeting after leaving the Water God's world.

  Fortunately, nothing has happened. I must break off the connection between them before anything does happen.

  It's the smartest thing of my life to let my Little Xi become a greatsword maid!

  Chapter 379: That Summer

  "Puff!" After understanding the relationship between Yun Xi and Mumu, Hua Huo let out a sigh of relief.

  Fortunately, even if she would become a threatening enemy in the future, at present, she was still a little girl who didn't understand what love was.

  Her Little Xi was still her "personal property"!

  As the inheritor of the Sky Flying Bloodline, she shouldn't have any weakness, but she did have one: Yun Xi.

  She didn't ever dare to imagine what would happen if she lost him.

  From her childhood, she knew she wouldn't have any friends, because the children of the same age couldn’t possibly begin to understand the world she was in.

  When she was small, she once aroused her bloodline, eliminating a group of enemies who tried to do something to her.

  The power of the Sky Flying Bloodline would become stronger and stronger when she was in a desperate situation. Nothing could suppress the wings of freedom.

  She was born to be strong, so she had to suppress her true power in normal times.

  Even so, people still said that she was a monster and avoided her.

  Till that day, she had her first friend in the small town, where she was originally planning to have a temporary rest.

  No, not the friend who got close to her for her bloodline, not the friend who worried about annoying her, fearing of her power.

  It was a friend who simply treated her like a common girl. He didn't mind her past, and didn't even ask where she was from.

  She would never forget that summer.

  After being betrayed and losing the trust of her family, she lost control of her bloodline power and killed a lot of people. After that, she was driven away by her family. They said that it was a "vacation", but everyone knew that she was exiled.

  She came to the White Lotus Sword Domain in desperation.

  In a foul mood, she started to play a game with herself.

  A game named "build a castle and crash it".

  Then, she met him.

  He probably doesn’t remember it. When he tried to talk to her, her so-called "parents" shook all over with fear.

  They were actually her distant relatives and pretended to be her parents. She never called them "father and mother".

  She was doomed to fly into the sky, she was doomed to be a super legend to conquer the Tower of God.

  She came to this remote sword domain just for resting and avoiding some unnecessary troubles.

  At the end of the summer, she would leave this small town and never come back.

  At least, she thought so at that time.

  "Go away, I won't talk with a weaker."

  Well, in her memory, she yelled at Yun Xi, who was trying to talk to her.

  I just killed some bastards who salivated over the power of my bloodline, I did nothing wrong! Why did they punish me?

  I'm not wrong, those adults were wrong!

  Isn't it natural to kill enemies without mercy?

  If I didn't kill them, they would kill me. It was so simple, why didn't the adults understand?

  The world is sick!

  "Weaker? Are you saying that to me?" As a child, Yun Xi didn't understand what "weaker" meant, just like he didn't know the reason why she was exiled to this remote sword domain.

  "Yes, you are weak. I can beat down ten of you at once!" Hua Huo threw out her chest proudly. In fact, even if she just used one hand, she could knock out a hundred stupid kids like him.

  I'm different! I'm doomed to be a person above all people!

  "But, you don't know how to make bread, do you?"

  Oh, she would never forget his silly smile at that time. His question made her feel at a loss.

  "I... I... I'm strong!" She suddenly found that although she was a genius, she didn't understand how to make bread!

  I'm a noble above all mortals! Isn't it a natural thing that I don't understand it?

  Moreover, I'm not a common noble. My bloodline was from the exalted Tower of God, I should be more exalted than any kings and emperors!

  "If you don't know how to cook, you will always be hungry. People will feel upset if they don't eat."

  He took out a bread and tore it in two, handing half of it to Hua Huo.

  "Come on, eat it. I know it's uncomfortable to be hungry."

  "Goo!" That sound was one of her biggest blackest memories. Her stomach irresistibly growled at that time.

  "Come on, eat it."

  "Humph, don't think you can get anything from me. I'm a bad girl! If you dare to do anything, don't blame me if you get killed."

  "Gee? Get killed? I will die?"

  "Yes. People die if they are killed."

  In her memory, she said those embarrassing words without feeling ashamed.

  The lonely, indifferent self gradually became enthusiastic.

  In fact, her temper didn't change. She just forced herself to change because she wanted to become the perfect bride in his eyes.

  He said that she was his queen of the summer, in fact, he was the sparkling sun in her heart. She was just a mirror reflecting his lights.

  If she hadn't met him, she would still be a lonely, weird child.

  He made the current Hua Huo, he helped her find her road and walk forward straightly without confusion.

  I’m going to marry Yun Xi
, find the Demon Dragon and extract its blood to change the shape of my body, becoming the charming bride in the books he hid secretly. This was the road Hua Huo chose for herself.

  Her bloodline was her wings, she could bring him and fly. As long as they were together, everywhere is heaven.

  Yun Xi doesn't have wings, so I will become his wings!

  She thought that it was just a common summer, but it was still continuing on at this moment.

  The summer of her and Yun Xi would never end.

  Chapter 380: The War in the Past

  Yun Xi doesn't know how many people's fates he had changed in the past.

  The first "leaf" of the Ten Leaves Alliance, the girl who slept in the temple of gods from her birth and could only hear desperate sighs all days, showed a happy smile because of him.

  The child of the Void God Church, the "anomaly" that was born in the last grave of the endless void, smiled happily when he hugged her and stroked her head.

  Yes, they were very "common" daily lives to ordinary people. This was the world Yun Xi was living in.

  However, they were "abnormal".

  The Sky Flying Bloodline was a bloodline of god, however, its owners were doomed to be lonely all their lives.

  Even though she had the strongest "absolute" power in the world, even though she could obtain anything in the world as long as she opened her wings, however, she would become the biggest misfortune once she broke the constraint of her flesh and blood.

  The first leaf of the Ten Leaves Alliance was doomed to be the sacrifice in the mist, the most unfortunate child.

  The princess of the Golden Family was the last princess in the ruin of gods. There was no way for her to break free from this path since her birth.

  The last hope of the Void God Church, the last hope of all void gods, however, she was also a delicate child.

  They had different names and came to the small town using different fake identities.

  They came for her Sky Flying Bloodline, because it was "special" to the entire Western God's Domain.

  Eventually, they all became his childhood sweethearts, his friends, and tried to be his lover.

  They were "imperfect", they were "abnormal", so they were eager for the "mediocrity" who stretched out his hands to them. He was the last hope in Pandora's Box.

  Because of him, the miserable girls encountered each other. Although they never spoke it out, they spontaneously gathered around him and formed a strange circle.

  From the beginning to the end, only Yun Xi didn't know what was hiding in the seemingly normal small town.

  The small town was their paradise, where they could forget all troubles and sorrows.

  When Yun Xi chose to leave his paradise and went to a brand new world, their paradise was ended, and they went onto their different roads of life again.

  The first leaf of the Ten Leaves Alliance, El'phyllis, went to join the ten leaves parliament of the alliance.

  The sleeping golden princess, Milei, had to shoulder her responsibility, to revive the glory of the gods and become a veritable Princess of God.

  The youngest child of the void gods, Ye Li, had to return to the grave in the endless void to overhaul herself.

  Only Hua Huo, the free, strong, willful Sky Flying Bloodline didn't listen to any force, and could stay beside him of her own will.

  She never thought that she was common. She firmly believed that she could change the miserable fate of the Sky Flying Bloodline.

  Nothing should be doomed in the world.

  Even the trace of stars could be changed. Isn't that right?

  Hua Huo believed that her summer could never be ended!

  I have defeated almost all strong enemies, how can I concede to this little girl from nowhere?

  As an enemy, you are far inferior to Ye Li, El'phyllis and Milei!

  In order to take ownership of Yun Xi, they had a fierce virtual war.

  On the World Chessboard, four people chose 28 different heroes, launching a war called "Yun Xi".

  They summoned a lot of projections of old heroes, fantasy creatures and even real gods onto the chessboard, having a war that lasted for seven days and seven nights.

  The Hydra who would never die unless all her nine heads were beheaded.

  The Ouroboros who could interfere in the flow of the river of time.

  The largest war machine of the void god, the invincible Star Destroyer which could create a mini black hole.

  The War Knights who were doomed to destroy the world.

  The legendary hero whose bow could shoot down the sun.

  The mysterious creature who could shuttle back and forth between reality and dream.

  The giant spider who could turn an entire world into crystal.

  A total of 28 heroes responded to their summons, their projections launched a mini war on the World Chessboard.

  The final winner was a beautiful figure whose wings blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

  She opened three pairs of wings, rewriting all the rules in the mini world on the chessboard.

  She defeated all the enemies. Even though she was also severely injured, she still stood in the sky and looked down at the land that had been destroyed by the war.

  It was Hua Huo's hero, her ancestor Seraphim, the avatar of her Sky Flying Bloodline, the king above all gods.

  It defeated all the enemies, no one was a match for it.

  Even though it was the last hero Hua Huo still had, but it defeated all the enemies for her. The winner obtained everything and the losers could only wail in the darkness.

  After the war, Ye Li, El'phyllis and Milei had to admit that Hua Huo was his strongest childhood sweetheart. She deservedly took over most of Yun Xi's free time and could enjoy his bread every day.

  "Mei, I'm the strongest. No matter who the enemy is, I will never lose!" With burning flames in her eyes, Hua Huo announced again.

  "Well, I never had any doubt about that." Yun Xi said and firmly believed it even though he didn't know the war amongst his childhood sweethearts.

  Chapter 381: Smiling, girls!

  Hua Huo’s jealousy radar launched again!

  Locking on the target!

  Hua Huo, you are not fighting alone. You are the childhood sweetheart camp's representative, you are Little Xi's strongest childhood sweetheart!

  Stake all the glories of childhood sweetheart, I will never concede!

  "That sister doesn't like Mumu!" Catching White Lotus's hands, Mumu cowardly looked at Hua Huo, who was staring at her with a killing intention.

  "Oh, she is indeed a tough rival." White Lotus agreed. Hua Huo was indeed the strongest enemy stopping her from touching her prince.

  Apparently, she and the prince had an extraordinary relationship. It wasn't something that could be formed within a few days.

  Their positions, the distance between them, the natural posture of holding each other's hands, and her sharp eyes. She is a strong enemy called a "childhood sweetheart"!

  However, I won't lose to her! Most of the time, a "childhood sweetheart" is the pronoun for "loser"!

  Compared to the fatalistic encounter between us, "childhood sweetheart" was a way too normal setting, which means that she can't be the person who has the last laugh!

  How to describe the end for most childhood sweethearts? It could be described as "We are friends, but we can't be lovers".

  Because childhood sweethearts were too close and familiar with each other, which reduced the possibility of enchanted feelings.

  The longer they stayed together, the less chance they would fall in love. Unless the "male" couldn't find a better "female" than his childhood sweetheart, otherwise, there weren't many possibilities for his childhood sweetheart.

  "Humph. You can only be proud of yourself at this time!" White Lotus smiled confidently. She knew Yun Xi's secret, and regarded him as her prince.

  Hua Huo's strong possessiveness of him is her greatest weakness!

  Even if they love eac
h other, there is still a big problem, which Hua Huo hasn't realized yet.

  She is too pretentious. She has taken the lead, however, it doesn't mean that she has won!
