Back then,she somehow managed to survive through the curse ...

'At least,I was right about a dying mortal being spared from the curse as they would die anyway...and the curse won't activate on the dying people...'

There was an ancient city in the lake... protected from greedy humans with a curse ...

The city has many treasures and things like poisonous insects and snakes and beasts...

She had to use the herbs around her to survive ...It was simply a nightmare... when,there were only enemies around.. 'Philia must be angry... leaving him alone in that big place..' Thank goodness ,she had trained to some extent back in the bracelet.. Else ,she would be dead a thousand times already...

Momentary impulsiveness is really going to be the death of me ..

'I must have been crazy... doing this kind of immoral thing to myself...'

Thider walked steadily forward ..Blood dripping from her sword...

'The heck,it's worse when I can't sense with spiritual energy..'

Then again,her other senses became sharper due to the environment she is in...

'It really is 'no pain,no gain'... huh? And how old am I again? Back in that world,many women would cry if they know about me....'

-That's not what you should be thinking right now, Thider...-

Anyway,the reason she came here is because of that one thing.. A thing that she needs urgently.. because, that thing was the very reason ,she died for ,ten years in the future...

Thider felt a oppressing aura right after she steped inside the boundary.. . as for how she knew that it was a boundary, only she knew about it...

Ruthless and vicious killing intent inside it made her excited.. ..

But soon ,she clamed down...

"Damn,just a sword and want to scare this lord? How naive!"

Back then,Feng Jiu and her second sister were in the same team with her and the Takathila academy.. . in the quest to find this sword... Her sister was an assassin in her past live ,and very experienced in this field.... And when She fought for it,naturally, she died in the most cruel way...

Although it was the her in that story or may be it really happened ...anyway,she shouldn't have died in that kind of place...

Her own fiance turning with her sister ,leaving her to be eaten alive by those awful things back in this place...

'The Me back then might have been very stupid,picking on her own kin....but that kin was one of the reason for her mother's early death..so,one can't blame her...

Still ,that Feng Jiu is a cruel bastard... Damn ,I was almost fooled by his pretenious facade!'

Thinking about the whole thing,Thider's killing intent rosed tremendously,even suppressing the sword's...

She clamed her heart immediately and steped up to hold the handle with her left hand...

The sword vibrated strongly...

"You even have conscious ,huh?

I feel like breaking you in halves would be very wasteful.... "

She was holding her own sword in one hand and the Goddess sword in the other..

'As expected of the female lead's weapon,even the name is quite....

disgusting....Calling such an evil sword..Goddess ,Eh? Quite some nerves....'

Strong killing intent,welled up and broke free from the sword and attacked the girl from every angle... But,that was not enough to kill her...

Thider gripped on the handle tightly and pulled this way and that... while releasing her own wild and vicious bloodthirst to suppress it....

'This sword is not too bad... should I merge it with my own....? '

The sword is practically shaking by now... due to anger and unwillingness.... but it's killing intent and spiritual powers cannot harm this mortal girl... It was depressing...

But the sword did not give up...

And the duo kept this posture for more than ten days...

'Really,my sister just needed to touch you and you were like a puppy rushing to meet its master...

And now ,you are like this! Damn,should I just break you ..now..'

Thider's killing intent rosed to another level in the past few days just like the sword's... but the sword is starting to lose...because of her indifference replacing the killing intent...

Thider felt that life is not as precious as she thought it would be in her life... After thinking about all the things she's been through in the past five months and her days before she turned nine.. and her clones' experiences and the her in the novel...and other things... She

felt that this world is ridiculous...

Time's going on it's pace... not caring about anything... So,why should she care what happens to them or her or anything else...What's the point in involving in this kind of place where people scheme to obtain things....

"No..."Thider muttered... She gripped the swords in her hands.

'There are also things that worth living.Worth protecting..Worth fighting for...'

Her sister 's smiles..Yin and Zin..Her loyal subordinates and Philia... They are enough for her to live on...

"Damn you stupid sword,you almost devour my last piece of humanity.. ."

Thider said through her gritted teeth and pulled the sword out from it's sheath...

The world spinned as the wind howled throughout the hall ...making it hard for the girl to stand...She could not sense a thing again...

"Oh,Fu#k!"Thider once again lost her consciousness ...like that time when she touched the water surface...

Losing consciousness is no different from dying in this place.But ,Thider doesn't really mind it now...as she was staring at the process of two legendary swords clashing and then,melting and merging till they become one.

How long has it been since I last saw something.?

-Yes,that's the point here... She can see in her soul state... which means...She is dead or ...-

Something rushed toward her feom behind ...Thider reflexively

threw a flying dagger at it...but she managed to retract it as soon as she saw the thing...

"Gosh!You want to kill me now!?"

Thider hugged the familiar little black furball tightly making it hard to breathe...

"Philia,it's that you?I'm not drwaming... am I!!?I...I missed you so much! Wahhh"

Philia was just about to scratch his disobedient master and scold her when he heard that sobbing voice.

He scratched her anyway.....

"Dare to miss this immortal! I told you not to be impulsive but nooo.

You just have to destroy your own cultivation and rush to your death.. What were you thinking?!

What do you think your life is?Huh? You are a mere level two cloud celestial ...but you just ruin that lowly power you have to look for a piece of trash! Are you sane!? Do you know how much I want to kill you now! I feel like I should just throw you into the training ground since you like to torment yourself!"

"Sorry,"

Thider could only lower her head in shame..

'I was really stupid...Can't refute that...'

"Don't do that again.!"

"I know...I didn't like that either"

"If you dare do that again,I won't talk to you even if it's mean death!"

"I know...I know..."

"No,you know nothing.!"

"I know...I know..."

Thider carressed the furball...claming it somewhat.. .

"I was afraid..."

"I know.."

"No,you don't!"

"I know...I know..."

Philia scolded and complained to her for almost half aday..

....

"I didn't know you talk too much"

Thider said jokingly as she wolfed down on the meal prepared by one of her puppets...

"Ahhh,I was starving..."

"I'm sure you are..."

Philia snorted as he looked at the way she eats..

"So,this stupid thing you collected..what are you going to do with it?"

-That's a legendary sword...my Philia..-

"I'm forging my new sword with it."

"With that old one too?"

"En"

"Ok...Let's do that after that....

but first...your cultivation and the state of your vessel body..."

Philia's tone turned cold as he said...making her choke...

"Cough. What about it?..."

"You won't be able to use your powers for awhile...you can cultivate..but you can't use it...you'll become a paper tiger...Your loss of sight will need more time to recover...unless you drink the spring water from the immortal fall.."

"And where is that place ?"

"Just beside the room you were standing in for days..."

"....."

"Don't even think about it. I won't allow you to leave untill you reach the celestial empress stage..."

"What!?"No,I'm just resting....

"Philia don't be mean...I haven't yet to recover my foundation stage...It will take decades to recover.."

"Whatever ,...you are not leaving this place...else,I'll sleep till your death come...and won't talk to you even if you reincarnated ten thousand times..."

Philia said cooly as he walked away with the puppet carrying the sword behind him....leaving a Thider with a drumstick in one hand and a milk tea in the other...Staring pitifully at the furry little cat...

"Wait,Philia ,don't do this to me!

I'm gonna cry! I'm crying here...Woo woo..Sob sob... Philia,come back!"
