"Since you don't remember me, I'll introduce myself. My name, is Jian Juewang, husband. And I'm the Sword of Despair."
"Jian?"
For some reason, Jian Shen felt that something was wrong with the world. Because of the two people he met recently, both of them had the same surname as him.
Though he didn't think about it too long, since the dazzling light disappeared and revealed the silhouette's appearance.
Unlike Qingyu who looked like a cold beauty, Juewang looked like a seductive beauty that men would get attracted to, even though they knew she was dangerous.
With long silky black hair that flowed till her waist, she had blood red eyes and skin which couldn't look any more white.
A sexy smile was present on her red lips, which were capable of intoxicating everyone.
She had golden earrings on her ears, and was dressed in a long black robe which covered her whole body. The robe had various red coloured flowers on it, and was tied together with the same bright red coloured sash.
It seemed like other than her face and plump body which radiated sexiness, Juewang didn't intend to reveal or show off any part of her body.
Not that she needed to. After all, anyone could see how her abundant breasts were pressed against the robes, and threatening to tear through them.
Also, Jian Shen didn't know if it was a coincidence or not. But he could see a red flower, right on top of the outline of Juewang's breasts.
"Yes. My surname is Jian. Just like you! If this isn't a sign that the heavens want us to be together, then what is, husband?"
"Stop trying to force yourself on him, by using fate as an excuse!"
Ignoring Qingyu's voice, Juewang skipped her way towards Jian Shen and hugged his arm.
"Ignore that rusted sword, husband. When do you think we should get married? Also, where shall we go for our honeymoon? I was thinking about going to some tropical island!"
"Oi! What the hell are you talking about?!"
"But, going to some mountains covered in ice would also be great! We can use our bodies to keep each other warm, in the cold surroundings."
"Why are you ignoring me?!!"
"Don't act like Jian Shen belongs to you, Qingyu! I'm already being patient by letting you be near him, after you caused him to d..."
"Shut up!"
Shouting loudly, the Myriad God Sword in Jian Shen's hand brightly shined, as Qingyu's human body walked out of it.
"I know what I did. And, I'll tell him all about it, when I'm ready. So until then!.... Please don't say anything about it."
Looking at Qingyu who was bowing her head towards her, Juewang looked away and said, "Fine. I won't mention the past anymore. But mark my words, if something even remotely dangerous happens to him because of you, I don't kind destroying myself to take you down with me."
Listening to the both of them, Jian Shen had a lot of question he wanted to ask. Specifically about the so called 'past', they were talking about.
But, he knew that he wouldn't obtain any answers from them right now.
Therefore, he asked something which would obtain a proper answer.
"What are you doing, Qingyu? Didn't you say you couldn't appear in your human form for long?"
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't let her keep on hugging you."
Saying so, Qingyu pushed Juewang away and pulled Jian Shen away with her.
Juewang didn't seem to be offended or tried to interrupt, because she knew Qingyu wasn't able to maintain this human form for long.
So, she chose to let the two have of them spend a short while together.
After all, once Qingyu was forced into her sword form, Jian Shen would be all hers.
"Qingyu..."
"It's fine. Even if I can't come out in the real world, you can still see me whenever you want inside the World Crest. It's just that we won't be able to touch each other."
"I.… How long until you can... Do this again?"
"It'll take me at least 8 more years, before I'm able to let my physical body materialize. But then too, we'll only be able to hold each other for a minute at most."
"Is there really no other way?"
"As I said before, the more swords I fuse with, the longer I'll be able to materialize. Similarly, the more swords I fuse with, the less time I'll have to wait before I can materialize again."
Resting her head on Jian Shen's shoulders, Qingyu continued by saying, "If you can find me one more sword to fuse with, I'll be able to materialize within just a year."
Nodding his head resolutely, Jian Shen said, "I'll definitely find the other pieces as soon as possible! Trust me!"
Smiling happily, Qingyu kissed him on the cheek.
"It's fine, even if you never find them. As long as you keep me next to you, there's nothing more I can ask for."
Looking at Jian Shen and Qingyu who were behaving like one of them was dying, Juewang couldn't watch it any longer.
"Enough with the melodrama, Qingyu."
Before Qingyu could say anything, Juewang brought a dark red sword out of nowhere.
"I originally brought this as a gift for husband, but after seeing that you became the Sword Spirit of the Myriad God Sword, I didn't feel like giving it to him."
"But, I'm willing to let you have it, as long as husband kisses me."
