Yun Li said seriously that Qiong agreed with her idea, but did not agree with her method of doing things. This brat was just too straightforward.

"That's true, but you can't argue with your grandfather in public. If you do that, people will only say that General Huaiyan's family is unfortunate to have such an ill-mannered granddaughter. We know the inside story, but how would others know?"

Qiong posed a soul-searching question to Yun Li, who was stunned for a moment, her hands looking somewhat helpless, unsure of what to do with them.

"I...I was wrong."

Yun Li isn't actually as willful as she seems on the surface; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to be with Qiong all the time while being completely incompatible with him. Many times, she just acts on impulse.

"I'll apologize to Grandpa when we get back."

Qiong told Yunli that the person she should apologize to was not him. Yunli looked up at him and suddenly felt that it was so nice to have him by her side. She realized that she hadn't misjudged him.

"You, you hug me."

Yun Li opened her arms to Qiong and said that Qiong would hug her and feel the girl's soft body. He felt that she was like a kitten, who would become clingy once she was tamed.

“I know it’s wrong to do this, but someone has to clean up the mess my father made. If we leave it unattended, the number of victims will only increase.”

Yun Li spoke her mind, which explained why she was so excited when she saw the Demon Sword. Every blood debt stained on the sword was something her father had to pay. Although she was a daughter who had done nothing wrong, she couldn't just ignore it, so she forcibly took on these responsibilities that didn't belong to her.

"If my father was deceived by a villain and made a terrible mistake, I could still convince myself. But he forged it when he was sober, simply because he was obsessed with the power of the magic sword. It's really... too despicable."

Yun Li said bitterly. She truly hated her father. If he hadn't been obsessed with power, her mother wouldn't have died, and there would have been many innocent casualties.

"According to the records, there are a total of 1,3082 swords. From the moment I began my training at the Flame Wheel Forging Palace, I vowed to hunt down all the demon swords."

"Since I made this vow, I have hunted down 312 swords, and Lonely Cloud is the 313th. Like the other demonic swords, it will be completely separated from the Sun, and the sword body will be turned into molten iron and cast into the molten iron sword skeleton."

Yun Li recounted her unknown past, and Qiong looked at her with some surprise. He hadn't expected that this seemingly carefree and willful child had actually done so much.

"I know you're anxious, but don't rush. You know this, so how could Grandpa not know? Do you think he would release a demonic sword to harm people?"

Qiong patted Yunli on the back and said to her, "Yunli didn't understand this obvious truth before. Instead, she was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the demonic sword, which is why she acted so impulsively."

"Well, what if he gets senile?"

Yun Li also realized that she seemed to have underestimated Grandpa Huaiyan. With that old man's shrewd and calculating mind, could he really be outsmarted by a sword? She didn't believe it, but she also didn't want to admit that she was too stupid.

Chapter 337 Succubus Star Core Spirit

"You're so stubborn. Who do you take after?"

Qiong looked at Yun Li with a puzzled expression, only to see her raise her hand and point at him. Qiong moved to the side, but Yun Li's finger still followed him, which made him unhappy.

"You two look alike, don't you?"

Qiong said irritably, while Yun Li laughed happily. It's just between husband and wife, she's happy to accept that term. If he's always there for her when she's unhappy, that's happiness enough.

After talking with Yunli for a while, Qiong returned to Sichen Palace. Yinzhi had already left, and there was no one else around to join in the fun. Only Huaiyan was still guarding the sword box, waiting for Yunli to return.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so impulsive."

Upon seeing Huaiyan, Yunli immediately went up and hugged him. The two were about the same height, so it didn't feel strange to hug him. However, Huaiyan was startled and thought that his granddaughter had been possessed.

"You are Yun Li? No, I mean, having someone you love really makes a difference; you're actually able to recognize your mistakes."

Looking at Yun Li in his arms, Huai Yan said, "If she didn't really know she was wrong, it would be obvious from her words alone. But you can tell from her body language that Yun Li is truly admitting her mistake. This makes General Huai Yan very gratified. It can only be said that the weight of a lover and a grandfather is completely different. He listens to his lover's words, but his grandfather is like a pebble on the roadside. He is both gratified and saddened."

"Grandpa, if you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Yun Li seemed to only then realize that she was already in a relationship. The age of the people on the Immortal Ship was quite complicated, so from the moment she had a lover, she was already considered an adult.

"Hehe, Qiong boy, I suppose you managed to persuade Yun Li to come back. She must have told you some of her own stories, including her vow to hunt down the Demon Sword. You know about that, right?"

Huaiyan smiled and looked at Qiong, asking a question. He was indeed shrewd and calculating; one could see how things were developing by looking at the details. Qiong nodded, admitting that he understood.

"Although Yun Li has vowed to hunt down all the demonic swords and destroy them, the price she will have to pay to fulfill this vow will be no easy task. Just traversing the sea of ​​stars to find the swords is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Huaiyan sighed and said. Yunli listened to him without saying a word. As the one who carried out the mission herself, she knew how difficult it was. Just like the demonic sword that appeared this time, if Yinzhi hadn't brought it back, Yunli probably wouldn't have been able to bring it back from the desolate planet even when the demonic spirit was about to flare up. Moreover, some swords had already been damaged and disappeared. To put it bluntly, her vow was something that human power could not achieve unless one day she could become a messenger and borrow divine power to do it.

"To reclaim the demonic sword, one must fight the sword's master, who is burdened with a blood feud, and constantly teeter on the edge of life and death. She has retrieved more than three hundred demonic swords and suffered more than three hundred fatal wounds."

Huaiyan continued speaking, while Qiong had no idea that Yunli had such an experience. She hadn't thought about it carefully when she heard that Yunli had retrieved the Demon Sword, but now that she thought about it, it was indeed terrifying.

"You little rascal, why are you doing something so dangerous? But you're completely naked, and there's no sign of injury."

Qiong raised his hand and rubbed Yun Li's head as he spoke. He was indeed limited by his fixed mindset. He thought that Yun Li was quite healthy now and had no scars on her body, so he didn't think about what she had been through. When Qiong was intimate with Fei Xiao before, the female general had dozens of scars on her body. How could she have skin like Yun Li's?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Huai Yan, who was originally quite serious, widened his eyes upon hearing Qiong's words. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he was choked by a cough and couldn't stop coughing.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know the constitution of the Immortal Ship people? As long as they don't die, they will regenerate on their own."

Yun Li knew that Qiong was referring to the incident where her lower body was seen while she was wearing a maid outfit. She was so angry that she punched Qiong, and then patted Huai Yan's back to help him catch his breath. However, judging from Huai Yan's appearance, it seemed that Yun Li was about to send him away.

"Oh yeah, you're really lucky to be alive."

Qiong nodded. Huaiyan also recovered under Yunli's patting. He was afraid that if he didn't recover, he would be beaten to death. This child had no sense of restraint and was very strong.

“I adopted Yunli and raised her because I wanted to see her do innocent things at an innocent age, instead of embarking on a journey of sword hunting. Even if one day she melts down all the demonic swords, where will her life go then?”

"Fortunately, Yunli has you by her side. I want her to give up the idea of ​​hunting swords and stay by your side to do some happy things. If she likes sword making, then she can become a craftsman. In the future, she can have a son and a daughter. Wouldn't that make her life perfect?"

After Huaiyan finished speaking about his concerns, he looked at Qiong. His appearance had indeed changed many things, like lighting a lamp for Yunli, who had been going down a dark path, allowing her to take a different route.

To be honest, when Huaiyan heard that Yunli had someone she liked, his first reaction was that he had seen a ghost. He knew better than anyone how stubborn Yunli was. It was difficult enough to add some spice to her unchanging life, let alone a lover, an important person who could completely derail her life. Heaven knows how Qiong managed to do it.

"Although that is indeed a pretty good future, it goes against Yun Li's wishes."

Qiong shook his head and said that he did not press on with Huaiyan to dissuade Yunli, which surprised the old man. He waited patiently for Qiong to continue.

"Hunting for swords is something she swore to do. Maybe it was just a momentary impulse back then, but after so many years of hunting, it's probably ingrained in her bones. I don't think it's appropriate to ask her to give it up now."

"I don't necessarily approve of her continuing sword hunting, but I want her to gradually return to a normal life."

As Qiong spoke, he turned to look at Yun Li, who was now looking at him with a face full of emotion. She hadn't expected Qiong to be so understanding. Even though she hadn't said anything, he had already said everything for her. No wonder this guy was so popular. Both Ling Sha and Fei Xiao were willing to be with him, and Yun Li herself was too.

"Yun Li, if you want to be with me, you have to take responsibility for me. We can't just get married and you go out hunting swords all day long, and I won't even know if you die out there one day. Stop doing those dangerous things. You can patrol within the Immortal Ship's territory and leave yourself a way out. When you're about to risk your life, think of me and your grandfather. Only if you can agree to this can I continue to be with you. Otherwise, wouldn't the feelings I've invested in you be less valuable than raising some cats and dogs?"

Qiong then imposed some restrictions on Yun Li's hunting sword, which was of course for her own good. This child has a strong personality, and the only way to persuade her is to slowly boil her like a frog in warm water. As long as she listens to advice, that will be fine.

Chapter 338 Teasing the Cat

"You, yet you're out there exploring all day long, as if it's not dangerous at all."

Yun Li didn't react negatively to Qiong's words, but she expressed her dissatisfaction appropriately. In the past few days, she had also learned about the Pioneers through Xiao Sanyue. The things they did were much more dangerous than her own sword hunting.

"That's why I didn't stop you from hunting swords. Besides, we pioneers are all groups of people, well-prepared, looking out for each other, and working together towards a great goal. I know you're a lone wolf even without asking you, how can that be the same?"

Qiong earnestly explained the differences between himself and Yun Li, stating that in terms of logic, even ten Yun Lis wouldn't be a match for him, so he had no choice but to admit it.

"Anyway, I can't argue with you."

Yun Li wasn't really stubborn about dying on the path of sword hunting. What Qiong said did make sense. If she couldn't value her lover more than her mission, then what was the point of talking about love? She should just put her mission first. Just like Qiong said, why bother getting involved with him? The two of them wouldn't be happy.

"Haha, I originally thought that with Yun Li's personality, you, Qiong boy, would be bullied if you were with her. Now that I see you have her completely under your control, I am relieved."

When Huaiyan saw that Yunli was really persuaded by Qiong, he was happy and kept stroking his beard. This trip to Luofu was really worthwhile. The fact that they were able to find a husband for Yunli was something that would never be possible in Zhu Ming.

Huaiyan felt that there would never be another grandson-in-law as good as him in this lifetime, so he quickly took out a series of precious items from his personal space. There were carved jade pieces, a complete set of armor that he had personally crafted, and precious swords. These were all his collections over the years. He didn't need them himself and had long wanted to find an excuse to give them to the young man he valued.

"Come, come, these are specialties from our Zhu Ming Immortal Boat. They are all part of my dowry for Yun Li. Please keep them for now. I will give you some more when we go to Zhu Ming. Don't be shy with your grandfather."

Huaiyan pulled Qiong by the hand to the pile of treasures. He had already decided to tie Qiong to Yunli's side, and once Qiong accepted these gifts, he wouldn't be able to go back on his word.

"Thank you, Grandpa. You're so good to me, even better than Yun Li."

Qiong accepted these valuable treasures without hesitation. Seeing that he didn't hesitate, Huaiyan was also very happy. Qiong must be sincere towards Yunli, otherwise he wouldn't be so casual.

"Why... I feel like Grandpa is in a hurry to marry me off, even though we're not together yet."

Yun Li looked at the scene before her in confusion. She felt that things had been reversed. Shouldn't it be Qiong begging her grandfather to marry her off with gifts? This reverse operation was really incomprehensible.

"Ah, I have a good eye for people. There won't be another person like this. He's completely irreplaceable."

Huaiyan shook his head and said that he was certain that Yunli would never fall for anyone else again, and no one would ever be able to coax Yunli to be obedient like this again. Qiong was the most suitable man for her.

"Grandpa, what about the demon sword?"

Yun Li didn't talk much about her own feelings, but asked Huai Yan about it. She had fallen out with her grandfather because of this, which also made her relationship with Qiong better.

"Things aren't as bad as you think. Just like people can be good or bad, and even villains can reform, so too can the Demon Sword. But I can't prove it with words alone. You'll have to wait until you have the chance to ask the sword for yourself."

Huaiyan explained to Yunli, and she finally understood why her grandfather had given away the Demon Sword. If it were truly a good sword, it wouldn't harm its master and could even cooperate with its master in battle, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, thus multiplying its power in combat.

"Okay, although I don't really believe such a thing exists, since Qiong can even marry General Feixiao, there's nothing I can't believe anymore."

Yun Li believed that her grandfather would not lie to her, nor would he be so senile as to be that confused. In any case, the universe was already full of wonders.

"What did you say, General Feixiao?"

Huaiyan's smile froze. He rubbed his ears, feeling that he was probably getting old and his hearing was failing.

“Grandpa, you heard right. Feixiao is indeed my wife, but she will have to wait until she goes to Yaoqing to get married. Her household registration is not here.”

Qiong held Huaiyan's hand and said with a smile. Hearing Qiong say this, Huaiyan felt as if his vision went black for a moment. So this was a problem with household registration? If Feixiao were a local general, the two of them might already have a marriage certificate.

"No, no, I feel I am not worthy of being called Grandpa by you. Let this old man rest for a while."

Huaiyan sat down in a chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. He felt that something was wrong with this whole thing, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem unacceptable. After all, Qiong had indeed helped Feixiao do a lot of things, and she was also good at sweet-talking people.

Qiong and Yunli left while Huaiyan was contemplating life. The little girlfriend seemed to be in a good mood, and her steps were much lighter. The two found Sanyueqi practicing swordsmanship alone. Yunli began to guide Sanyueqi as her master, while Qiong prepared milk tea and snacks for them and chatted with them in their spare time.

Perhaps because girls are shy, Yun Li never mentioned her relationship with Qiong. San Yue Qi didn't think there was anything wrong between them either. Xiao San Yue probably thought that even if all the men in the world disappeared, Yun Li would never fall in love with Qiong.

As dusk fell, Qiong and March 7 returned to the inn where they had stayed. Yun Li secretly went to Qiong's room and changed into a maid outfit, something she had promised to do, and now she wasn't so resistant to wearing it.

“Master, you’re wearing this again.”

March 7th wanted to laugh when she saw Yun Li in her maid outfit, but she still respected her teacher and didn't laugh out loud.

“Little March, I am setting an example by myself. We must be willing to accept defeat and cannot go back on our word.”

Yun Li said to March 7 in a serious tone that she wasn't wearing a maid outfit because she had forgotten, but because of Bu Liren's prison break, she naturally had to change into combat clothes. Now that there were no enemies, she could change into her combat clothes.

"I will follow Master's teachings," said March 7.

"Little maid, come to my room and serve me."

Qiong beckoned to Yun Li with his finger. He hadn't thought much of it when Yun Li wore a maid outfit before, but now that she was his little girlfriend, Qiong naturally wanted to make the most of her and let the maid outfit do its best.

"Even when facing difficulties, we must rise to the challenge. I'm leaving, Little March."

Yun Li waved to March 7, accepting her maid status with ease. Little March placed her hands in front of her chest, feeling that her master was really too handsome.

Chapter 339 My Little Girlfriend is So Sweet

After Qiong and Yunli entered the room, he locked the door, then bent down, grabbed Yunli's hips, and lifted her high up. Yunli immediately experienced the perspective of looking down at Qiong, whereas she usually had to look up at him.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Li's cheeks were flushed. Being in the same room with Qiong made her heart race. She felt like something shameful was about to happen, but she was an adult woman after all, so of course she wouldn't scream and run away.

"How can I not kiss such a beautiful girlfriend?"

Qiong moved Yunli down a little, and when they were face to face, he kissed her on the cheek. His girlfriend pursed her lips, looking a little shy, but she could accept it.

"Let me give you a back rub today."

Yun Li said somewhat embarrassedly that she had been unwilling when Qiong ordered her to be a back-scrubbing maid before, but now she had volunteered to do so. Of course, Qiong would not refuse, and kissed her on the other side of her cheek before putting her down and walking into the bathroom.

When Qiong was ready, Yun Li also walked into the bathroom barefoot. Qiong sat on the bench in the bathing area, and his girlfriend came up behind him, skillfully picked up the soap and towel, and began to act as a body scrubber.

Qiong happily enjoyed his girlfriend's service, and also taught her how to make herself feel comfortable. Yun Li also learned seriously, just like learning swordsmanship. After she had washed enough, she rinsed away the foam with clean water.

However, this was not the end. Yun Li did not feel that it was bad that Qiong was wet. She hugged him from behind and put her hands in front of him to hug his neck.

"You said before that I had a bad figure and that you weren't interested in me at all."

"I'm not lying, you can see it for yourself."

Qiong did not take back his previous words. After all, compared to his wife, Yun Li was indeed very young and could only sit at the same table as Fu Xuan.

"Now, I'm actually not young anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yun Li hugged Qiong even tighter, her wet maid outfit clinging to his back. It was clear she was trying to squeeze out some moisture, but Qiong didn't feel it at all.

"It's hard to say," Qiong said honestly.

"I knew you were lying to me. You don't like me at all."

Yun Li angrily grabbed Qiong's neck, but Qiong didn't let her succeed. He flipped her over and pushed the slender Yun Li onto the bathroom floor. She sat on the floor tiles with a thud, wincing in pain. At that moment, Qiong had already grabbed her feet.

"What?"
