Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 464

The attack came out of nowhere, startling Magnus. He swatted the longsword down. But the Demon–Breaking Sword bounced back up, relentlessly chasing after him.

The scene turned chaotic real quick. It wasn’t until Kian seized the moment and grabbed the hilt, using his spiritual sense to suppress the sword spirit, that the ill–tempered blade let out an even louder buzz and tremble

After a long struggle, a faint ghostly light flashed across the blade, and it finally settled down

Magnus, barely escaping danger, coughed lightly and adjusted his sleeves, pretending to be calm. Looks like you’ve got a connection with it. Force out a drop of heart’s blood–let it acknowledge you as its master?

He hadn’t expected this kid to actually become the master of the Demon–Breaking Sword. Once the sword spirit acknowledged him, this blade would no longer be just a weapon in Kian’s hands. With a sword spirit’s help, his strength would multiply several times over.

Plus, it was a growth–type treasure–Kian’s cultivation would grow, and the sword would strengthen alongside him.

“The sword cultivators at Swork Peak are gonna be jealous as hell, Magnus sighed, “Good swords are hard to come by, and ones with a spirit are even rarer. They’ve been drooling over the Demon–Breaking Sword for ages–didn’t expect it’d end up with you.”

Kian held the longsword, a surge of warmth in his chest. This was a gift from Nyx. Though it was a cold, gleaming weapon, in his eyes, it carried a soft sentiment–like a token of their love.

But he had nothing of worth to give Nyx in return. His life wasn’t worth much either.

Kian sank into a daze of uncertainty, feeling both happiness and fear that he didn’t deserve it–that he couldn’t hold onto it

Nyx tilted her head, watching him for a bit, then stood on tiptoe and planted a fluffy kiss on his chin. The kiss yanked the anxious guy out of his spiraling thoughts.

Kian’s handsome face flushed as he lifted the little rabbit in both hands and kissed her forehead in return. The sappy vibe of young love hit Magnus like a truck, nearly knocking him out.

Fresh off surviving the Demon–Breaking Sword’s attack and now watching this lovey–dovey couple, he felt awful–his face darkening to charcoal.

“Ahem,” he coughed deliberately.

Nyx finally remembered there was someone else there. She rubbed her face, a bit embarrassed, patted the troublemaking sword, and looked up at Magnus. “Do you need any spiritual plants around here?”

She’d wanted to buy him a gift too, but her pockets were drained by the sword. All she could do was play to her strengths- grow some spiritual plants for him as thanks for treating and looking after Kian. As an alchemist, he’d probably have a use for spiritual plants.

Magnus’s heart leapt with joy, though he tried not to show it. He kept a stern face, hands behind his back. “No need to go out of your way for me. The stuff I need is all rare treasures–you can’t afford to buy or grow them.”

The little rabbit had some talent messing around with spiritual plants, but not everything could be grown.

“Take Violet Soul Grass, for inance–I’d love some. But the Celestial’s only got one precious stalk. What, you gonna buy it and gift it to me?” he threw out a vivid example to make the little rabbit back off, while pointing her in another direction.
