I Have A Sword

Chapter 419: A Very Special Question

A gun?

Ye Guan didn't expect that the True God would whip out a gun.

The middle-aged man didn't seem afraid. There was even a light of mockery in his eyes as he opened his palm, sending a wisp of Xiantian Qi to block the oncoming bullet.

Clang!

The Xiantian Qi blocked the bullet. Masters were capable of manipulating their Xiantian Qi flexibly, which meant low-level hot weapons were no longer a threat to them.

Cizhen blinked and turned to Ye Guan. "It didn’t work!"

Ye Guan pulled on her arm and ran away.

The middle-aged man was about to give chase when multiple powerful auras descended upon him.

Their fight had lasted a bit too long that it alerted Yanjing City’s Dragon Group. The middle-aged man was silent for a few moments before he turned and disappeared into the night, revealing afterimages behind him.

He was a Master, but he didn't dare to go against Yanjing City’s Dragon Group.

...

Cizhen and Ye Guan ran for a long time before both of them hopped into a taxi.

"Yunhai County, please," Cizhen said to the driver.

The car started moving and drove off into the distance. In the car, Ye Guan wiped away the blood from his lips, and his expression was gloomy. He felt extremely annoyed. He's going too far! Is Father not afraid that I'll get beaten to death?

"Are you okay?" Cizhen asked.

"I think I suffered some internal injuries..." Ye Guan said with a wry smile. Then, he recalled something and turned to Cizhen, asking, "Do you really not have any of your cultivation at all?"

Cizhen nodded without saying a word.

Ye Guan frowned. "Then, how did you protect yourself here in the Milky Way?"

"By being a law-abiding citizen," Cizhen replied.

Ye Guan’s lips twitched a little. Law-abiding citizen, my ass!

Cizhen saw that Ye Guan didn't believe her at all, so she added, "I’m serious"

"No way." Ye Guan shook his head and said, "You’re so pretty, and this world is a dark place, after all, so you must have stumbled upon quite a few hooligans."

"Well, I did stumble upon a few hooligans, but it was fine." Cizhen smiled and explained, "I have a gun, after all!"

Ye Guan went silent. Indeed, a gun could solve many problems.

Cizhen stared deeply at Ye Guan. Her eyes seemed to be examining him from top to bottom, and it was impossible to know what she was thinking.

Soon, they arrived at Cizhen's residence in Yunhai County. The residence was pretty spacious, spanning a few hundred square meters. The room was also decorated in a cozy way.

"Do you live here?" Ye Guan asked.

"Yes." Cizhen nodded and took off her shoes. "You don’t have to take off your shoes."

Ye Guan still took off his shoes out of courtesy. He looked around the room, and his gaze fell on the desk with a mountain of documents. He got a bit curious, so he walked toward the desk to have a closer look.

"Wait!" Cizhen hurriedly shouted and rushed over to the desk. She put away the pieces of paper and explained with a smile, "You can’t look at them; they’re not done yet."

"Okay..."

"Come here."

Ye Guan hesitated a little before he walked up to Cizhen.

Cizhen gestured at a nearby chair and said, "Take a seat."

Ye Guan followed her instructions with a confused look.

"Strip," said Cizhen.

"Huh?" Ye Guan's eyes widened in astonishment.

Cizhen shook her head with a smile and flicked his forehead with her fingers, saying, "What are you thinking? I'm just going to treat your injuries."

Cizhen then turned around to retrieve a first aid kit.

Ye Guan smiled sheepishly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Cizhen had used the word strip too casually and ambiguously.

Eventually, Ye Guan removed his clothes and saw some wounds on his arm and his chest.

Cizhen took out an ointment and applied it gently to Ye Guan's wounds. They got so close to each other that Ye Guan caught a whiff of her distinct aroma, making him feel embarrassed as he hesitantly said, "I'll do it."

Cizhen glanced at him and smiled. "Don't overthink it. I’m just applying medicine for you."

"I'm not overthinking it," Ye Guan said, defending himself.

Cizhen nodded. "Stop moving, then."

Ye Guan felt helpless.

If he rejected her again, it would make it clear that he was overthinking her treatment.

Ye Guan stared at her beautiful face beneath the soft light. Cizhen's expression was serious, but her movements were gentle. It was hard to imagine that she was the same True God who had defeated the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Ye Guan was starting to suspect that he had mistaken her for someone else, as Cizhen wasn't acting like the True God at all.

Cizhen bandaged his wounds and put away the first aid kit before hurrying into the kitchen. A few seconds later, she came out holding a whole tray of food and bottles of alcohol.

"Lady Cizhen, what's going on here?" Ye Guan asked.

"I just want us to chat," Cizhen replied.

Ye Guan looked at her, slightly bewildered.

"Don’t you have many questions for me?"

"Yes, I do have many questions, but..."

"The same goes for me," Cizhen opened a bottle of white wine and handed it over to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan asked hesitantly, "Do I drink this neat?"

Ye Guan had no issues drinking at his peak, but he had no access to his cultivation base, which meant Ye Guan could easily get drunk.

Cizhen opened a bottle for herself and lightly clinked her bottle against his bottle of liquid, saying, "It’s our first meeting; take a sip at least."

Cizhen tilted her head back and took a big swig/

Ye Guan hesitated for a while before doing the same. He had no idea what kind of liquor he had just drunk, but one thing was for sure: the alcohol content was pretty high, and it was pretty spicy as well, making him grimace.

"You said you have many questions to ask me, right? Ask away. Once you're done, it'll be my turn to ask questions," Cizhen said.

Ye Guan nodded and asked, "Are you really the True God?"

Ye Guan decided not to hold back, as Cizhen seemed to be an easygoing individual.

Cizhen nodded. "They all call me the True God, but I don’t really like that name."

"Why not?"

"Because I never really wanted to become a god. The human world is so beautiful, and I don't see the point of becoming a god."

Ye Guan was silent.

Cizhen smiled lightly and exclaimed, "Drink up!"

She clinked her bottle against Ye Guan’s bottle again before taking a few big gulps.

Ye Guan did the same after a brief hesitation. The alcohol was extremely strong, making Ye Guan feel like he had drank lava rather than alcohol.

"How's my reputation in the True Universe?" Cizhen asked, "Is it very bad?"

"Your reputation in the True Universe is great, but it’s bad in other places."

"How bad is it?"

"Very bad."

Cizhen grinned before she raised her bottle and said, "Cheers."

Ye Guan hesitated, but he still ended up clinking bottles with Cizhen and taking a few big gulps of his liquor. The two of them emptied their bottles in just a few gulps.

Cizhen tried to open another bottle, but Ye Guan stopped her.

"I’m okay. That was enough for me."

Cizhen smiled. "Don't worry, there are no bad people here."

"But—" Ye Guan started.

However, Cizhen opened the bottle and exclaimed, "Cheers!"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

The two ended up drinking for quite a while until Ye Guan realized that he was starting to get a little dizzy.

Cizhen noticed that and asked, "Was that it? Do you not have any other questions?"

Ye Guan replied, "No, I still have questions to ask you."

"Ask away, then."

"How terrifying is the Universe Tribulation?"

"Well... Simply put, it's powerful enough to destroy the vast expanse that we know."

Ye Guan’s expression turned heavy. "Can you keep suppressing it?"

Cizhen merely smiled before saying, "Cheers!"

Ye Guan was at a loss for words. Eventually, he had no choice but to take a few sips, making him feel even dizzier. Just then, Ye Guan's eyes narrowed upon realizing something, and he couldn't help but ask, "How come you're still sober?"

Cizhen blinked, and then she tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.

"Ah, I feel dizzy..."

Ye Guan was speechless. Moments later, he asked, "Can the Universe Tribulation only be suppressed and not destroyed?"

"Yes."

"Why can’t it be destroyed?"

"The Universe Tribulation is born from all living beings of a universe, and destroying it is equivalent to destroying all living beings in that universe. However, it has gotten so big to the extent that it has now engulfed the entire vast expanse.

"In addition, it's both a human calamity and a Dao calamity, which means that it can only be suppressed, not destroyed."

"Is there really no other way to deal with it?"

"Maybe if we're still in the era of the Eternal Civilization."

"If we were in that era, how would you go about it?"

"The same thing that's happening on this blue planet can be done."

"What do you mean?"

"Limiting the lifespan of every living being and preventing them from cultivating will allow the universe to rest and recover. After about a billion years, the universe is reborn, and the Universe Tribulation will cease to exist."

"How about we do that now?"

"It’s too late. I’ve been suppressing it for a long time, and it has gotten strong enough to the extent that I can no longer estimate its true strength."

Ye Guan immediately fell silent.

"Bottoms up!" Cizhen exclaimed.

Ye Guan was already drunk, but he still decided to finish the bottle of liquor.

However, the two still ended up chatting and drinking throughout the night. Soon, Ye Guan became completely drunk, and the world around him would spin whenever he moved.

He even felt like he was floating, but Cizhen kept on asking him to drink... contemporary romance

About half an hour later, Ye Guan sprawled out on the floor.

He looked up and saw Cizhen's blurry figure holding out a bottle of liquor to him. Ye Guan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. I'm good, I really can't drink anymore."

Cizhen blinked and asked, "You're already drunk?"

"Yes, I'm a bit drunk now," Ye Guan replied while staring blankly at Cizhen..

At that, Cizhen's lips curled up slightly as she pointed out. "You've been asking me many questions, but I haven’t asked you anything yet, you know?"

Ye Guan felt like his head was filled with lead as he muttered, "Ask me tomorrow."

"No way, I have to ask you tonight!"

"Ask away, then."

Cizhen turned around and hurriedly grabbed a pen and a piece of paper. She then sat down next to Ye Guan and asked, "Are you ready?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

"My question is... how did it feel? Remember when you were being intimate with Cishu? What kind of feeling did you get while you were doing it with her? I want you to tell me everything, spare no details, including the positions."

Ye Guan’s eyes shot wide open, and his mind instantly cleared up.

What the fuck did I just hear?
