Chapter 98 Draining the Water from the Divine Sword Pond

Oh!

After eating nearly half a fish, the two-headed piglet howled and then collapsed on the ground with all four of its eyes tightly shut, motionless.

Flames rose from its body, and within these flames, there lingered traces of Sword Intent.

"Sister, what's wrong with this piglet?"

While grilling the fish, Chu Chen asked with confusion.

Chu Xin, while eating the grilled fish, looked at the two-headed piglet and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it has never eaten such delicious grilled meat before and passed out from happiness."

"That makes sense. If it hadn't met me, it probably would never have had such tasty grilled fish; poor little pig."

Chu Chen nodded his little head, his large round eyes filled with a hint of pity.

Chu Xin also looked sympathetically at the two-headed piglet. She gets to eat grilled meat every day, but this piglet was having grilled meat for the first time in its life and had fainted from happiness; it was really pitiful.

As the siblings ate their fifth grilled fish, the sleeping two-headed piglet finally woke up, its tiny pig eyes glancing at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who were eating voraciously.

What are these little demons' stomachs made of?

The grilled fish contained such powerful Sword Intent that it could not withstand the impact of the Sword Intent after eating just half a fish and had to stop to assimilate it. Did these two little demons not feel anything?

Oh!

The two-headed piglet howled softly and then buried its head to feast again.

This time, it was able to withstand even more Sword Intent and only stopped to assimilate it when half was left.

"Passed out from happiness again?"

Both Chu Xin and Chu Chen's eyes were filled with scorn.

It was understandable the first time, but fainting from happiness repeatedly was a bit too absurd.

However, the two-headed piglet had no time to care about what the two little demons thought. After assimilating the power, it continued to eat, and after eating, it continued to assimilate. After eating two more grilled fish in succession, it felt that it had gained its own Flame Sword Intent from the grilled fish meat.

Though it was not very strong yet, as long as it didn't die and continuously nourished and comprehended, this Flame Sword Intent would inevitably become stronger, and its strength would also increase.

"Such good food, just too little of it, not enough to eat," Chu Xin complained as she lay on the boat, massaging her little stomach with her now clean white hands.

"It is a bit little. Didn't the Artifact Spirit's grandpa say that there were many Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pond? How come there are only so few fish?" Chu Chen also massaged his little stomach, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.

The hundreds of swordfish might have seemed like a terrifying amount to ordinary people, but for the siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen, it was too little.

All together, it was still less than the meat off one large dog.

But it tasted much better than big dog meat.

Oh oh!

Only the two-headed piglet's twin pig heads showed a satisfied expression, sprawling on the boat in relaxed abandon, closing its eyes to feign sleep, occasionally kicking its trotters in the air.

"Sister, let's go look for other Sword Beasts," Chu Chen suggested.

"Okay!" Chu Xin nodded, flipping to her feet with eager anticipation in her eyes.

Chu Chen's chubby hands formed a Seal Technique, injecting Divine Rune Power into the boat, and the boat shot out like an arrow released from its bow.

However, they walked for a long time without seeing any Sword Beasts.

In fact, the swordfish they had killed previously were very strong, being at the Overlord Level in this outer region.

But in front of the significantly empowered Chu Xin, they were instantly killed; not only killed but also roasted and eaten, which terrified the Sword Beasts in the outer areas. Who would dare to provoke these two little demons?

"Sister, is the Artifact Spirit Grandpa deceiving us? There aren't many Sword Beasts here at all," Chu Chen asked, furrowing his little brows.

Due to the white mist of Sword Qi, Chu Xin and Chu Chen couldn't see far, and Chu Chen had actually been circling the perimeter in a small boat.

And since the Sword Beasts on the perimeter were afraid of them and hid, they naturally couldn't find any more Sword Beasts.

Chu Xin lay on the gunwale of the small boat, stretching her little head out over the Sword Pond, her small, pale hand gently skimmed the surface of the Sword Pond water.

The powerful Sword Qi in the Sword Pond continuously struck her little hand, but it was all shattered by the Divine Rune flowing on her hand.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Xin turned to Chu Chen and suggested, "Brother, how about we drain all the water from this Divine Sword Pond? Then those Sword Beasts will have nowhere to hide."

Chu Chen's eyes lit up, and he patted his chubby little hands, "Sister is so smart."

With that said, he waved his little hand, and "swish, swish, swish", hundreds of White Jade Bottles appeared out of nowhere, suspended in mid-air.

With a Seal Technique, all the White Jade Bottles began to exert a terrifying suction force, swallowing the water from the Divine Sword Pond into the bottles.

Chu Xin also waved her little hand, and hundreds of White Jade Bottles appeared at once, beginning to frantically swallow the water from the Divine Sword Pond.

The water level of the Divine Sword Pond visibly dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The water of the Divine Sword Pond was liquefied Sword Qi, which ordinary containers naturally could not store.

But these White Jade Bottles, specially made by their father for them, were designed to store such powerful liquids.

Like Earth Evil Yin Spring, Water of Purification, and the like.

This liquefied Sword Qi from the Divine Sword Pond was naturally also storable.

"These two rascal kids,"

the Artifact Spirit Elder, observing everything from the Artifact Spirit Space, blew his beard and glared, his elderly hand gestured, and a space door appeared before him. He vanished in a flash.

"Little friends, should that be enough? Stop now,"

the next moment, the Artifact Spirit Elder appeared on the little boat, speaking to halt them.

"Grandpa, you came again?" Chu Chen looked back at the Artifact Spirit Elder, but he didn't stop.

Chu Xin curiously asked, "Grandpa, do you also want some barbecue? Just wait a bit longer, let us drain the water and catch more Sword Beasts, then we will share more barbecue with you."

The Artifact Spirit Elder said with a speechless expression, "You shouldn't collect too much water from the Divine Sword Pond; otherwise, the Divine Sword Fruit won't absorb enough Sword Qi and Sword Intent to mature."

Usually, some Heavenly Prides of the Sword Dao collected some liquefied Sword Qi in special containers, which he had never minded.

But these two rascal kids, with over a hundred bottles each, were making the water level of the Divine Sword Pond drop wildly, which was outrageous.

If he didn't stop them, they might really drain the whole Divine Sword Pond.

"Is that so?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were taken aback and looked extremely troubled.

Was it better to give up on catching Sword Beasts and let the Divine Sword Fruit mature, or to forsake the Divine Sword Fruit in favor of eating Sword Beasts?

For them, this was a very tough choice.

"Sister, what should we do?" Chu Chen tugged at Chu Xin's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Chu Xin thought for a moment and then said, "No worries, once we drain all the water from the Divine Sword Pond and capture all the Sword Beasts, we'll just release the water back into the pond, right, Grandpa?"

"Wow! Sister is so smart," Chu Chen clapped his hands, showering her with a torrent of compliments.

The Artifact Spirit Elder moved his lips, at a loss for words for a moment.
