The process of bonding was quite simple. All Shen Qing needed to do was drip a drop of her blood onto the sword. Once Wu Wang accepted it, the bonding between the person and the sword would be successful.
To avoid being disturbed, Shen Qing returned to the room and set up the boundary stones. Li Xian and the Dark Wolf guarded the area outside for her.
After everything was ready, Wu Wang stood steadily in front of Shen Qing.
Shen Qing used her spiritual power to pierce the tip of her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto Wu Wang's blade.
When the blood was absorbed into the sword, it emitted a dazzling light.
With a flash before her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in the space the Dark Wolf had mentioned, where she saw a ball of light.
The ball of light was like a glowing egg, floating in the air. Once it saw Shen Qing, it affectionately circled around her twice.
Finally, it gently landed on Shen Qing's shoulder and rubbed against her cheek, as if it were acting coquettishly.
"Are you the sword spirit of this sword?"
The ball of light flashed twice and flew in front of Shen Qing.
It jumped around, seemingly responding to Shen Qing, but she couldn't understand the tones it made.
The Dark Wolf had understood what Wu Wang said just now. Presumably, it was because the Dark White Wolf Clan had the inheritance of the Dragon Clan, and this sword was conceived in the dragon's breath, so there were similarities between them.
If she wanted to communicate smoothly with Wu Wang, she would probably need the help of the Dark Wolf in the future.
But the ball of light was flashing, seemingly eager to say something to Shen Qing.
"I don't understand your language. What do you want to say?" Shen Qing said with a bit of helplessness.
The ball of light stopped flashing, as if it was thinking. After a moment, its light became even more dazzling, making Shen Qing couldn't help but close her eyes.
After a blinding white light, the ball of light actually transformed into a small dragon. The dragon's body was snow - white all over, shining with a blue light.
"My name... is Wu Wang..."
The little dragon circled around Shen Qing's neck twice, rubbed its dragon head against her cheek, and repeated, "My name is Wu Wang."
This time, it spoke much more fluently than before.
Shen Qing was a bit delighted. She held the little dragon in both hands and said, "You can speak the language of the human race."
The little dragon proudly nodded its head. Its round eyes blinked, and it said, "Hello, Shen Qing, my friend."
"Great!" Shen Qing was extremely delighted.
After the bonding, a close connection was established between her and the little dragon. It was like they had a telepathic connection, and she could clearly feel the little dragon's excited mood.
The little dragon also seemed to sense Shen Qing's affection for it, and its attitude towards Shen Qing became even more intimate.
"I'll accompany you from now on, and you accompany me too."
"Okay."
Shen Qing replied with a smile.
After a flash of white light, Shen Qing's consciousness returned to her room. Wu Wang in front of her had disappeared, and in its place was a dragon - shaped bracelet wrapped around Shen Qing's wrist.
The bracelet was snow - white and transparent, as if Wu Wang was coiled around Shen Qing's hand. It had the same patterns as the sword blade and looked very nice on her hand.
Shen Qing's skin was also very fair. Although it wasn't as fair as the Dark Wolf's, it could still be described as fairer than snow. With this bracelet, she looked even more delicate.
Shen Qing stroked the bracelet and gently called out, "Wu Wang..."
The bracelet emitted light, and Wu Wang transformed back into a sword, flying quickly around Shen Qing.
Then, it transformed into a dragon and coiled around Shen Qing's arm. After having enough fun, it returned to her hand and changed back into a bracelet.
After Wu Wang settled down, Shen Qing retrieved the boundary stones, opened the door, and walked out.
It was noon with strong sunlight when she entered the room, but when she came out again, it was dawn the next day.
When Li Xian saw Shen Qing come out, he immediately brought over a bowl of fragrant noodles and said, "Was it successful? Have something to eat first."
Shen Qing proudly waved the bracelet on her hand at Li Xian and said, "When I do it myself, how could it not be successful? Wu Wang is here."
Shen Qing took the bowl from Li Xian. Smelling the fragrant aroma, she praised, "I'm in the state of fasting, but I still eat so much. If I get fat, I won't look good."
Li Xian subconsciously replied, "You won't. In my eyes, you'll always be this beautiful."
Shen Qing accepted Li Xian's praise without any shyness and said, "Thank you for appreciating my beauty. In my eyes, no one else can compare to you."
There was a glint in Li Xian's eyes, and he looked extremely gentle, which was very different from his ice - cold and stand - offish appearance when they first met.
Shen Qing nodded in satisfaction. If Li Xian was serious about his feelings, she didn't need to be so defensive against him all the time.
She could feel Li Xian's care and dedication to her along the way.
Even though she was slow in matters of the heart and didn't trust others easily after being reborn, she couldn't ignore Li Xian's efforts.
There were two fried spirit beast eggs in the bowl. They were fragrant, and the golden - brown edges made one's mouth water.
Shen Qing carefully picked out the scallions on top, picked up a piece of egg with her chopsticks, and held it to Li Xian's mouth.
"Have some too. I know you don't like scallions, so I've picked them all out for you."
Li Xian's breath caught in his throat. His neck, face, and ears immediately turned red.
He opened his mouth and slowly ate the piece of egg that Shen Qing had picked for him, but his eyes still stared straight at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing felt as if it wasn't the chopsticks that Li Xian was holding in his mouth, but her fingers.
The aggressive and possessive look in Li Xian's eyes was no longer hidden.
"Is it delicious..."
Shen Qing didn't know what to say, and somehow she asked this question.
Li Xian's deep voice was a bit hoarse. "It's your favorite flavor."
The two just stared blankly at each other, both with blushing cheeks, feeling each other's affection.
"Yo yo yo! Flirting so early in the morning. Why do you two still have separate rooms? You might as well just live in one room."
The Dark Wolf's voice came from the side. Only then did the two come back to their senses like they were waking from a dream and slightly separated from each other.
The Dark Wolf was still holding Yuanyuan in his arms. Yuanyuan didn't know what was going on between Shen Qing and Li Xian. Thinking they were playing a game, Yuanyuan barked and wanted to join.
The envy, jealousy, and hatred in the Dark Wolf's eyes were almost tangible. He raised his hand to cover Yuanyuan's eyes.
"Kids shouldn't watch. There's something dirty here."
Shen Qing stammered, "When did you get here?"
The Dark Wolf sneered, "If you ever paid attention to others, you would know that Yuanyuan and I have been here all along."
Hearing the Dark Wolf say this, Shen Qing felt even more embarrassed.
Li Xian glanced at the Dark Wolf coldly, blaming him for being a bit inappropriate.
This look really angered the Dark Wolf. He gritted his teeth and almost wanted to start a fight.
"People from the Main God's Temple are here!!"
Xian Shiyu rushed in from outside. Before they saw the person, the voice came first.
"Three immortals from the Main God's Temple have come and said they want to participate in the selection of disciples!"
"Huff huff huff!"
Xian Shiyu patted his chest to catch his breath. His face was red because of his excitement.
Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat. A feeling of disgust welled up from the bottom of her heart.
Why were the people from the Main God's Temple everywhere? It was really annoying!
