Chapter 49.3: Weapon Spirit Awakens

"Hm? My herb garden died?" Qing Yu's face was flabbergasted. It seemed like she really had not noticed it in the past few days. She had always tended the garden very carefully and now that it died, saying that she did not feel the pain was not possible.

Her slender fingers ma.s.saged the area in between her brows, where it had knitted up tightly together in frustration.

[Why had she turned to be become so weak after being reborn?]

[To think that she would become so fearful of a mere unidentified danger….. That was just laughable!]

Within her body at that moment, a golden little snake lay coiled up quietly in a corner. From its original body size of being about as thick as an infant's arm, it had come to grow by quite a bit.

Besides a faint golden light that emanated from its body, a layer of swirling black mist was escaping out in all directions. But in the next instant, all those black mist looked like they were being strangled and held, to let out a final scream before it disappeared completely.

The golden light upon the little snake's body then grew incredibly blinding in that instant, and with strong brilliant flash lasting for awhile, it then began to dim gradually. A pair of tiny eyes shaped like inverted triangles then opened slowly, the black mist within them slowly fading away. Those highly human like eyes looked deep in thought.

After a long while, a voice that felt like it came from ancient times past, wizened and with a tinge of wistfulness, it sounded: "I've returned….."

The expression on Qing Yu's face froze up, her phoenix like eyes half narrowed. Hiding the surprise and delight she was feeling right at that moment, her spirit consciousness delved deep inside her body. "Little Burrower….. Is that you?"

Completely different from that tiny little coil from before, what met her eyes was a young youth dressed in a suit of gold clothes, with a head full of golden hair, where his entire could only be described as "aglitter with gold".

Upon seeing her, his heart filled up with absolute delight, his pair of highly intoxicating gold and silver eyes gentle and filled with longing. At that moment, the youth did not immediately pounced right over onto her adorably like before, but seemed to have immediately grown matured. The countenance was clearly still the same, but the gaze of his eyes and the air surrounding the youth had changed very much.

Qing Yu's eyes were slightly misted over, her lips slightly parted, but she was unable to say a word.

The youth seemed to be able to read the millions of emotions rushing through her at that moment as he revealed a smile brighter than the sun itself. The figure of the youth flashed and he appeared right beside the young lady in the next instant with one knee on the ground, to lift up her hand in devotion as he pressed it to the side of his face, like this was the first time they were meeting each other. "My most beloved and honoured Mistress, my name is Zang Mai, and from today henceforth, I am bound to Mistress in blood, never to leave in life or in death."

Qing Yu almost shed a tear right at that moment, but she quickly suppressed the surge of emotions inside her, to turn all the millions of things she wanted to say into just four words. "Good that you're back."

Zang Mai's stern and serious demeanor only lasted for a short time and he reverted back to his wacky self, his handsome face almost coming to stick right up against Qing Yu. "Mistress, you were actually so moved when you saw me that you cried? Although Mistress looks very beautiful when you shed tears as well, it hurts my heart to see that."

Although not human, but the weapon spirit's transformation was undoubtedly perfect. Regardless whether it was his body or expression, they were both lively and very authentic. At such close distance, the long and curly lashes on the youth's eyes then fluttered, looking so very adorable.

Qing Yu did not know whether to laugh or to cry as she pushed the youth's face away. "Tell me. Why have you recovered all of a sudden? Since you're able to take human form, it seems like your spirit body's restoration was very successful. But from what I remember….. the elixirs I cultivated have not reached such a Heaven defying stage."

"Who says they haven't?" Zang Mai arched up an eyebrow. "My Mistress is the most excellent elixir cultivator under the entire Heavens."

"Stop all your flippant talk." Qing Yu rolled her eyes at him, her long phoenix like eyes looking at him appraisingly, and then seemed to see through him somewhat. "Could you have come to gain something that nourished you greatly?"
