There's Something Wrong With This Account Chapter 54 – Chapter 54: 054, [Its Name]

Chapter 54: 054, [Its Name]

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“So soft.” That was Lu Xun's first thought when he touched the little girl's cat ears.

Mao Nanbei placed Lu Xun's hand on her head with her small hand, rubbing in a clockwise direction, feeling the warmth coming from his palm.

She was not exactly a child, but neither was she fully mature.

She was like a cat that had been wronged or was suddenly in a bad mood, becoming clingier than usual. Perhaps she would even initiate the contact, nudging his hand with her head, asking him to pet her

Under such circumstances, perhaps anyone's heart would melt.

Moreover, she was not just a cat; she had transformed into a cat-eared girl.

An outrageous idea soon popped into Lu Xun's mind: “Should I pinch her cheeks? In animes, when you pinch such chubby cheeks, their mouth would puff up. It seems rather fun.”

He had never been bitten by a cat before.

Of course, he eventually didn't do it.

People should not be too greedy.

If he had his fill of stroking cat ears today and still wanted to pinch her cheeks, what would he want to do next after pinching her cheeks?

After all, Mao Nanbei was his elder sister in the sect. He would maintain respect for her, at least on the surface, even if he didn't respect her in his heart and thought of her as an annoying little sister.

After a while of more petting, Mao Nanbei's mood was much better. Before leaving, she even asked, “Little Junior Brother, make another batch tonight, slurp!”

Today, Ji Li arrived at the back mountain quite early.

Yesterday, Lu Xun had given her the pass; she could freely enter and exit the restricted area of the back mountain today.

Anyway, Lu Xun only asked her to come for dinner and didn't specify the time. As an avid fan of handsome guys and the number one fan of handsome Lu Xun, with a tendency to become a diehard fan, she felt the earlier she came, the better!

After arriving, she found that there were more people on the back mountain than she had imagined. Moreover, they were all big shots to whom she had to pay respect.

Sect Master Shen Yan of the Demon Sect, as well as the masters of several other main peaks, had all come. It was a major holiday on Mid -Autumn Day. Even if the master was not there, they had to pay respects to the elders on the back mountain.

Normally, only Sect Master Shen Yan could enter and exit, but today was a festival, so it was not against the rules for others to come as well.

“They've come and they didn't even bring gifts?” Lu Xun thought internally.

However, the smile on his face was still very warm. He insisted that they stay for dinner, though Master Shen Yan and the others graciously declined.

The lowliest person at the scene was Ji Li. She had been greeting everyone and when she came to Lu Xun, he waved his hand and said, “No need for formalities, go to the kitchen and wash the vegetables.”

He didn't mean to boss Ji Li around as a maid. He was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in the presence of the big shots from the Demon Sect.

She, a young Outer Sect Disciple who had hardly seen the world, would certainly feel pressurized.

Even more so since she was so dumb, she seemed to have sacrificed her brain for her bust. Who knew what kind of blunders she might make?

Now that it came up, why was she still developing? She had already stopped growing taller.

Indeed, she had exceptional talent…

So, Ji Li was ushered away, leaving the Peak Masters, who were considering taking her as a disciple, slightly disappointed.

They had hoped to leave a good impression on Ji Li, so that when it came time for her to choose, she would pick them and become their disciple.

Normally, they wouldn't be able to show kindness to an Outer Sect Disciple like

Ji Li, since they had a reputation to maintain. They wouldn't want to become the butt of jokes amongst their peers.

Only Shen Yan was all smiles. He had already made a small investment in Ji Li and felt he had made a secure move.

At this thought, he nearly laughed out loud. Such an active brine egg he was.

Just before leaving, Sect Master Shen Yan and the Peak Masters remembered something important. They mentioned a place to Lu Xun. The Demon Sect's second most restricted area, besides the back mountain, known as the Hidden Mountain.

As for the well-known Hidden Mountain, Lu Xun had no reason not to know about it.

It could be said that Hidden Mountain was the treasure house of the Demon Sect. The mountain was filled with a large number of magical weapons, waiting for the destined people to find them.

Most of the magical weapons were left by deceased members of the Demon Sect. Placing their magical weapons on the mountain, if destined people got it, it could be considered as a form of inheritance.

Every Outer Sect Disciple of the Demon Sect, upon becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, would have the opportunity to go to Hidden Mountain once.

But more than half of the people would return empty-handed.

Because many magical weapons have their own sensibility, it's not you choosing them, but they choosing you.

If none of them picked you, then it was a wasted trip. But if multiple magical weapons chose you, very well, it's time for the counter-selection phase!

After all, according to the rules, each person could only bring back one item from Hidden Mountain.

It seems that the Demon Sect really enjoys this kind of reverse selection scene like talent shows…

Anyway, no one does it better than One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

Before they split into two factions, they had a Sword Tomb filled with many renowned swords from all over the world.

Even after their split, the Sword Tomb remained a common property of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain. Every few years, disciples of equal numbers from both sides would be sent to the Sword Tomb to find a sword, which also served as a discreet competition.

At the same time, they maintained an unspoken agreement that once the swordbearer died, the sword would be returned to the Sword Tomb.

Thus, it was common for a sword to initially be used by one from Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, and after his death, returned to the Sword Tomb, only to be taken away by someone from One Sword Mountain.

Players promoting from Outer Sect to Inner Sect would also get these treasure hunting qualifications. It was at those moments when everyone would rely on their luck!

Players from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain were most fond of such activities. They would keep comparing among each other, showing off their treasures most frequently on the forums.

However, speaking of such things, Lu Xun's huge magic weapon in his previous life was won from a place similar to Hidden Mountain and Sword Tomb. That rendered him a joyous spell of several days.

Lu Xun, being the young elder of the Demon Sect now, held a status much higher than that of an Inner Sect Disciple. Naturally, he could directly skip the test and have a chance to enter Hidden Mountain.

Sect Master Shen Yan and the Peak Masters queried him about when he was planning to go to Hidden Mountain.

Lu Xun was quite interested in Hidden Mountain, where the magical weapon that haunted his dreams resided.

Logically, Sword Tomb should be the place that all sword cultivators would dream of.

But in fact, Hidden Mountain attracted sword cultivators even more than Sword Tomb did!

That's because the number one sword cultivator in the world, before his demise, had left his sword on the mountain.

How could a sword cultivator, who was still alive, leave his sword somewhere else?

For a sword cultivator, their sword was their second life.

Therefore, many sword cultivators did not understand Yan Li's action.

And the name of his sword was a verse that gave form to an object's name.

There should be many verses that give form to objects' names, such as “Washing Creek Sand,” “West River Moon,” “Thinking of a Charming Slave” and “Full River Red,” etc.

But the name of this sword was derived from a very unpopular verse with few existing masterpieces.

It was the fastest sword in the world, it was called…

“The Sword Qi is Near.”

(ps: This verse also has another name, Sword Qi Near. I struggled over it for quite a while. And then… I realized it's been a long time since I last asked for recommendation tickets.. Please recommend!)
