Chapter 189 It's love at first sight! Oh no, I can't escape his gaze... There's no go
"Analysis complete. It is recommended that the host relieve their anxiety by cheering on Ying."
"Huh? This...it really works?"
"it works."
Huiyuan was troubled by her worries and reluctance to leave Ying. Although she knew there was nothing to worry about, she still found it hard to bear these emotions.
After hesitating for a moment, Huiyuan cupped her hands around a megaphone and shouted, "Ying-meimei! Go for it—!"
When it comes to fighting slimes, Ying herself doesn't take it seriously at all.
But hearing Lingling's cheers, I couldn't help but smile a little.
"Thank you for your encouragement, I'm fine."
After saying that, Ying casually poked and popped a small water slime.
After Huiyuan shouted, she started smoking again, just like the Steam Princess.
Fortunately, my emotions did subside somewhat, which prevented me from completely losing my temper.
(Wait...did something just flash through my mind?)
Huiyuan's heart skipped a beat as her gaze fell on Ying again.
(Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love! Ying's sword-wielding movements...so dashing!So graceful! No...I'm straight! I can't have such dangerous thoughts, why are the aftereffects so severe...Do I still have 29 days to get rid of them...Waaaaah.)
After Ying dealt with the slime, a vicious male member of a treasure-hunting gang suddenly approached and started spouting arrogant remarks.
"Found it! That woman with the *Liyue vulgar language* is holding it! Hand it over, you *Liyue vulgar language* thief!"
Everyone turned to look at the man who had spoken, dressed in the Treasure Thieves' uniform, and the group of people following behind him.
Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "A treasure-hunting group? There are treasure-hunting groups in such a cold place?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Give it to me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of thieves rushed up like mad dogs, trying to snatch the purplish-black sword from Ying's hand.
The next instant, Huiyuan disappeared from the spot with a gloomy face.
They felt several heavy objects crashing down from the ground, followed by continuous tremors. The group of treasure hunters were buried in the soil, unconscious.
"How dare you call Yingmei *Liyue vulgar language *woman in front of me? You've really had enough of living."
Brushing the dust off her hands, Huiyuan returned to Ying's side.
As her anger subsided, Huiyuan suddenly realized something.
(Why was I so angry just now? It shouldn't be like this... For a fleeting moment, I even had murderous intent. Is this also part of the aftereffects? This is terrifying.)
After the treasure hunters struggled to emerge from the ground and fled in disarray, Paimon cursed at the air.
"The treasure-hunting gang actually called us thieves, when they're the real thieves!"
Looking at the sword in her hand, Ying realized that the group of thieves had come for it, and then looked at Abedo and asked him a question.
"You didn't steal their things, did you?"
"How can it be."
Ying looked at Abedo, who denied it outright, and gave him a look that said, "Wow, you're actually like this..."
Seeing Ying reveal her cat-like face, Abedo quickly began to explain.
"What's with that look on your face? Of course I wouldn't steal a sword. Not long ago, the Knights of the Night arrested a group of treasure hunters outside Mondstadt, and all the stolen goods they illegally transported were confiscated. This sword was one of them. It was stolen goods, but no one claimed it, and no one knew where it came from; it had been sitting in the warehouse. I noticed it by chance when I went to the warehouse to get something. To be honest, a sword this old is probably only good for alchemy."
Paimon instinctively took a half step back, and said disdainfully, "Ugh, how can you claim stolen goods as your own? And then what? You just took it?"
"Well, I took this sword to use for experiments, but I didn't expect to discover its true origin during the investigation. This seemingly old weapon was made by a deceased blacksmith and is the legendary magic sword."
"A demonic sword?!"
Hearing this word, which only appears in Liyue martial arts novels or Mondstadt fairy tales, Paimon exclaimed with curiosity and surprise.
Abedo didn't waste any more words and further explained: "It is said that the blacksmith disappeared shortly after forging the sword, and the sword's whereabouts are unknown. Based on the source of the stolen goods, it was most likely stolen by a group of thieves, and thus it has been lost to this day."
"Ah! The sword maker has disappeared?! How terrifying! No wonder it's a cursed demon sword!"
Abedo nodded to Paimon.
"Yes."
Feeling the sword in her hand, Ying was slightly surprised.
"Humans can actually create such a demonic sword..."
Seeing that everyone was speculating about the Demon Sword, Abedo asked a question.
Do you know anything about "Dulin" and this snow-capped mountain?
Upon hearing the name, Huiyuan nodded and said, "I know. It's the terrifying black dragon that was defeated by Barbatos and Dvalin hundreds of years ago. The name of Dragonspine Mountain comes from the fact that 'Dulin' was severely injured and fell here, turning into a giant skeleton."
“That’s right, and the fact that Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is covered in snow that never melts is a very strange thing. Is Dulin’s arrival here a coincidence or an inevitability?”
Paimon was puzzled by Abedo's guess.
"Can it still be inevitable?"
As always, Abedo patiently explained, "Choosing a snow-capped mountain as a graveyard might be an attempt to use its power to freeze everything and suppress the putrefactive poison in Dulin's body. A god like Barbatos should be able to think of this method."
After hearing Abedo's guess, Paimon recalled the huge spare ribs he had seen before, cough cough, they felt like dragon ribs hundreds of meters long, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Wow...is Barbatos that powerful...?"
Wow, Barbatos is actually that powerful? I thought he was just a giant mascot who only knew how to chuckle.
Seeing that Paimon believed him, Abedo added, "These are just my guesses, without any basis. But it is certain that this snow mountain has a close connection with Dulin. And the materials used in this sword should contain Dulin's remains."
Upon hearing this, the ignorant Paimon was shocked once again.
"The remains of a dragon?!"
"Hmm. Grind the eyes, nails, and scales of a dead dragon into powder and smear it on the sword. In this way, Dulin's filth and poison can be integrated into the sword, becoming the source of its power. This is an extremely sophisticated technique. After successfully forging the sword, the blacksmith will surely test it himself out of joy. As long as he uses this sword in battle, the corrupting power on the sword will flow into his body through the hilt. Ordinary people cannot resist this power. Driven mad by the curse, the blacksmith will flee in all directions, and perhaps, he will meet with misfortune somewhere."
