Chapter 98: Draining the Divine Sword Pool Dry

*Roar!*

After eating a small portion of the grilled fish, the two-headed piglet let out a howl, then lay on the ground with its two pairs of pig eyes closed, not moving at all.

Flames rose from its body, and within these flames, there was a faint trace of sword intent.

“Big Sister, what’s wrong with this little pig?”

Chu Chen asked with confusion, while grilling fish.

Chu Xin, while eating the grilled fish, looked at the two-headed piglet, thought for a moment, and said, “Maybe it’s never had such delicious grilled meat before and fainted from happiness.”

“That makes sense. If it hadn’t met me, it might never have tasted such delicious grilled fish in its life. Poor little pig.”

Chu Chen nodded his little head, a trace of pity showing in his big, round eyes.

Chu Xin also gave the two-headed piglet a sympathetic look. She ate grilled meat every day, but this little pig, after living for so long, was eating grilled meat for the first time and actually fainted from happiness. It was really pitiful.

When the siblings were eating their fifth grilled fish, the sleeping two-headed piglet finally woke up. Its two pairs of small pig eyes looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who were eating heartily.

What were these two little devils’ stomachs made of?

The grilled fish contained such powerful sword intent that it couldn’t handle it after eating just a small portion of one fish and had to stop to refine it. Did these two little devils not feel anything?

*Roar!*

The two-headed piglet let out a low howl and then buried its head to continue eating.

This time, it was able to withstand more of the sword intent, only stopping to refine it when half of the fish remained.

“Did it faint from happiness again?”

Both Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s big eyes were filled with disdain.

They could be sympathetic the first time, but fainting from happiness twice in a row was a bit too much.

However, the two-headed piglet had no time to care about the two little devils’ thoughts. After refining, it continued to eat, and after eating, it continued to refine. After eating two whole grilled fish, it felt that it had comprehended its own flame sword intent from the grilled fish.

Although it was not very strong yet, as long as it didn’t die, these flame sword intents would definitely become stronger with long-term nurturing and comprehension, and its strength would also become stronger.

“It’s so delicious, but there’s just too little. It’s not enough.”

After finishing all the grilled fish, Chu Xin lay on the small boat, rubbing her small belly with her clean, white hands, and said with a bit of regret.

“It is too little. Didn’t the Artifact Spirit Grandpa say there were many sword beasts in the Divine Sword Pool? Why are there so few fish?” Chu Chen also rubbed his small belly, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

The hundreds of swordfish were already a terrifying amount for ordinary people, but for Chu Xin and Chu Chen, it was far too little.

This amount was not even as much as the meat from a big dog.

But it tasted much better than a big dog.

*Oink! Oink!*

Only the two-headed piglet showed a satisfied expression on both of its small pig heads, lying on the boat with its limbs spread out, eyes closed in a doze, its four pig trotters occasionally kicking in the air.

“Big Sister, let’s go find more sword beasts,” Chu Chen suggested.

“Okay!” Chu Xin nodded, flipped over, and her eyes showed strong anticipation.

Chu Chen made a hand seal with his chubby little hand, and divine power poured into the small boat. The small boat shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

However, after traveling for a long time, they still didn’t see any sword beasts.

In fact, the swordfish they had killed earlier were very powerful. In this outer area, this group of swordfish was the overlord.

But they were instantly killed by Chu Xin, whose strength had greatly increased. Not only were they killed, but they were also grilled and eaten. This scared the sword beasts in the outer area, and no one dared to provoke these two little devils.

“Big Sister, did the Artifact Spirit Grandpa lie to us? There aren’t many sword beasts here at all,” Chu Chen asked, frowning.

Because of the white mist of sword qi, Chu Xin and Chu Chen couldn’t see very far. Chu Chen was actually just circling the outer area with the small boat.

And the sword beasts in the outer area were afraid of the two and hid, so they naturally couldn’t find any other sword beasts.

Chu Xin lay on the side of the small boat, stretching her little head out and looking at the sword pool. Her small, white hand gently paddled in the water of the sword pool.

◈◈◈

The powerful sword qi in the sword pool continuously impacted her small hand, but they were all shattered by the divine marks flowing on her small hand.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Xin turned to Chu Chen and suggested, “Little Brother, why don’t we drain all the water from this Divine Sword Pool? That way, the sword beasts will have nowhere to hide.”

Chu Chen’s eyes lit up, and he clapped his chubby little hands, saying, “Big Sister is so smart.”

With that, he waved his little hand, and *whoosh, whoosh, whoosh*, over a hundred small white jade bottles appeared out of thin air, hanging upside down in the air.

He made a hand seal, and all the white jade bottles generated a terrifying suction force, sucking the water of the Divine Sword Pool into the bottles.

Chu Xin also waved her small hand, and over a hundred small white jade bottles appeared simultaneously, starting to frantically suck in the water of the Divine Sword Pool.

The water level of the Divine Sword Pool was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The water of the Divine Sword Pool was liquefied sword qi, and ordinary containers naturally couldn’t store it.

But these small white jade bottles of the siblings were specially refined by their father for them to store these powerful liquids.

For example, the Earthly Yin Spring, the Purifying Water, and the like.

This liquefied sword qi water of the Divine Sword Pool could naturally also be stored.

“These two brats.”

The Artifact Spirit, watching everything in the artifact spirit space, blew on his beard and glared. With a wave of his old hand, a spatial door appeared in front of him, and he flashed and disappeared.

“Little friends, that should be enough. Stop.”

The next moment, the Artifact Spirit appeared on the small boat and tried to stop them.

“Grandpa, you’re here again?” Chu Chen turned to look at the Artifact Spirit but didn’t stop.

Chu Xin asked curiously, “Grandpa, do you want to eat grilled meat too? Wait a little longer. After we drain the water and catch more sword beasts, we’ll share some grilled meat with you.”

The Artifact Spirit was speechless and said, “You can’t take too much water from the Divine Sword Pool. Otherwise, the Divine Sword Fruit won’t be able to absorb enough sword qi and sword intent and won’t be able to ripen.”

Usually, there were also sword cultivators who used special containers to collect some liquefied sword qi, and he never paid attention to it.

But these two brats were using over a hundred jade bottles each to suck it in at the same time. The water level of the Divine Sword Pool was dropping rapidly. It was too outrageous.

If he didn’t stop them, they might really drain the entire Divine Sword Pool dry.

“Oh, I see.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were stunned, and their eyes showed extreme entanglement.

Should they give up the sword beasts and let the Divine Sword Fruit ripen so they could eat the Divine Sword Fruit, or should they give up the Divine Sword Fruit and eat the sword beasts?

This was a very difficult choice for them.

“Big Sister, what should we do?” Chu Chen pulled on Chu Xin’s sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Chu Xin thought for a moment and said, “It’s okay. After we drain the Divine Sword Pool and catch all the sword beasts, we can just put the water back, right, Grandpa?”

“Wow! Big Sister is so smart.” Chu Chen clapped his little hands, showering her with praise.

The Artifact Spirit’s lips twitched, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to refute.
