Legend of Sword King

The dagger was beautiful, no doubt about it. Furthermore, it was different from a magic tool. There weren't any elemental energy runes on the dagger. The reason it was so expensive was entirely because of the extraordinary material it was made from. Cheng Qing also thought about how the wolf girl had never used her elemental energy and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to use a magic artefact.    

    

The wolf girl took the crescent icy blue dagger. Her big clear eyes revealed a peculiar color for the first time. It was like a little girl who had just opened her heart and saw rouge. She felt joy from the bottom of her heart and also had the intention of opening the door to a new world.    

    

After playing with the dagger for a while, the wolf girl opened her big watery eyes and stared at Cheng Qing. She was saying, "Is this dagger really meant for me?" Perhaps to the wolf-robed girl, this dagger was extremely valuable. Although she felt that she deserved it, she did like it, so she was somewhat hesitant to give it to her.    

    

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Compared to the tears you gave me, this dagger is not worth mentioning. If you like it, you can take it."    

    

The wolf girl looked at Cheng Qing and blinked. Under her long eyelashes, her clear eyes flashed with suspicion. She probably didn't know why she called for Wan Sen to shed tears. But soon, she thought it through and nodded seriously, completing the gift exchange with Cheng Qing.    

    

The wolf girl was still as mysterious as ever. This was not only because she appeared and disappeared like a shadow, her strength was so strong that even Cheng Qing could not see through her. It was also because she never spoke. Cheng Qing still wasn't sure if the other party knew how to speak or not. If she had grown up alone in the mountains, she might not have been able to speak.    

    

However, this did not affect him at all. The small river quietly flowed, the bonfire crackled and burned, the grass was growing its seed, the wind was shaking its leaves. Cheng Qing and the wolf girl sat side by side, silent.    

    

The big bad wolf lay by the wolf girl's feet, its head resting on its front paws. It whimpered a few times before closing its eyes and falling asleep.    

    

The stars were as vast as the sea. No one came to disturb them that night. Cheng Qing and the wolf girl looked at the stars for an entire night and did nothing. They just waited for time to pass. In their respective busy lives, there were not many times like this when things were peaceful. It was already difficult for them to spend an entire night together like this.    

    

The next morning, the wolf girl jumped onto the back of the big bad wolf and waved goodbye to Cheng Qing. The big bad wolf grinned at Cheng Qing, stuck out its tongue and licked its lips. It was savoring last night's deliciousness.    

    

Watching the wolf and the man disappear into the forest, Cheng Qing suddenly felt very relaxed. He felt like someone who had worked hard for a long time would suddenly realize the beauty of life in the early morning or evening.    

    

After parting with the wolf girl, Cheng Qing wandered around the forest for a few days, killing some ferocious beasts and two teams of wolfwalkers. He estimated that the stronghold was almost built, so he stopped his hunt and rushed back according to his intentions.    

    

The fortress by the river valley could hold at least a hundred thousand men, and it was the largest city in the area, its status was extraordinary, so there was no need to talk about its safety. More importantly, when there were many people, there would be all sorts of facilities, shops, and restaurants, which were enough to let Cheng Qing, who had lived in the wild for dozens of days, relax when he returned.    

    

In addition, this fortress would also be a place where all sorts of powers gathered. If Yang Ruoxi once again entered Mount Qilian, she would definitely come here to settle down and take a turn for the better. Cheng Qing also wanted to see if Yang Ruoxi had come. Even if she hadn't come yet, he should have left an imprint in the city, in case Yang Ruoxi didn't have any news about him. He was worried for nothing.    

    

Coming out of the forest, Chen Qing followed the main road by the river valley and arrived at the fortress. He raised his head and saw the two words "Zhen Yuan" on top of the fortress.
