Chapter 1567: Peculiar Tastes
"Oof!"
Wu Yazi was kicked flat onto the ground. He rolled once, then immediately crawled back over, grinning from ear to ear. "As expected of Master, that kick is really strong!"
Ling Feng's forehead twitched with black lines. Just how did this old pervert end up like this? He and Xu Ling had been stuck in the Void Sovereign's tomb for thousands of years. Did they spend every day like this?
He could not bear to look.
He truly could not bear to look.
Ling Feng drew in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, yet every time he saw Fatty Wu Yazi's face, the urge to throw up surged again.
His composure was still lacking.
Rolling his eyes, Ling Feng simply avoided looking at him. After several steady breaths, he finally said, "Senior, your... unique preferences are not something everyone can accept."
"What unique preferences?"
Wu Yazi looked utterly confused. He frowned, then suddenly said, "Oh, I must have forgotten to tell you. Once you pass the Sovereign's trial, you become the new master of me and Big Brother. We, the Twin Blades of the Void, are the old master's proudest weapons!"
Ling Feng covered his eyes, feeling like he might cry. "Can I refuse this inheritance?"
What kind of situation was this? Just imagining himself summoning two bizarre perverts in the middle of a fight made his scalp tingle. Was he supposed to defeat enemies by disgusting them?
"No way! Master can refuse anything, even Big Brother, but you absolutely cannot refuse me!"
Wu Yazi clung tightly to Ling Feng's leg. "No matter what, I'm sticking with you!"
"At least your Big Brother seems a bit more normal..."
Ling Feng suppressed the urge to cough up blood and took several more deep breaths before saying, "Senior, could you let go of my leg? We are both men. This is not appropriate."
"What do you mean!"
Wu Yazi frowned and shot him a coy look, then actually hugged his own face and said shyly, "But I am a girl."
Heavens, my eyes!
Ling Feng felt as if his vision was about to burn out. Five hundred catties of an old pervert acting cute was simply unbearable.
Just as Ling Feng felt his sanity slipping, the stone door of the secret chamber rumbled open. A handsome young man in black strode in.
The moment he stepped inside, his expression changed. He immediately covered his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Second Sister, change back already. We finally get a new master, and you are about to disgust him to death."
"Am I really that disgusting?"
Wu Yazi pouted, clearly annoyed. In the next instant, a white glow flashed. The massive, five-hundred-catty figure vanished, replaced by a delicate young girl in white robes.
"Hey, hey!"
The girl rushed up again and hugged Ling Feng's leg, looking up at him with a bright grin. "Master, this should be fine now, right?"
"Hm?"
Ling Feng kept his eyes tightly shut. The voice suddenly sounded soft and sweet, which only made him clamp his eyes even harder.
That old pervert could even change her voice.
If he opened his eyes, he felt certain he would go blind.
"I would rather die than open my eyes!"
Ling Feng gritted his teeth. "I don't want this Void Sovereign's inheritance. To be honest, I only came here to pick some Void Lotus to save someone."
"Kid, you passed the Sovereign's trial and still want to deny it? Listen well. You can refuse anything else, even Second Sister, but you must take me with you!"
"You bastard, Big Brother, you actually sold me out!" Wu Yazi immediately protested.
"Hehe, don't think I didn't hear you earlier. You were the one who tried to sell me out first!"
"You bastard, Big Brother, I'll fight you!"
"Then fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Their bickering filled the air, and in the next moment, the so-called Void Twins actually started fighting, blows landing with loud thuds.
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched. He opened his eyes on instinct, only to see a girl in white and a boy in black locked in combat. The grotesque Fatty Wu Yazi was nowhere to be seen.
"What is going on now?"
Ling Feng felt completely disoriented. Were all sword spirits like this?
He made a mental note to ask Xiao Bai someday. Then again, Xiao Bai had only just been born and probably had no experience with other sword spirits.
"Enough. Can someone explain this to me?"
Ling Feng rubbed his forehead, utterly speechless. "You two are the Void Twins?"
"Hehe, it's me, it's me!"
A white blur flashed as the girl in white appeared beside Ling Feng, wrapping herself around his arm. "I'm the cutest Wu Jian. Actually, my name is Wushuang."
The young man in black stopped fighting and stood proudly. "I am Xu Jian, Xu Ling. Together with Second Sister, we form the Twin Blades of the Void. What you saw before was just an illusion we created to intimidate humans. This is our true form."
"You are Xu Jian? And you are Wu Jian?"
Ling Feng blinked, looking between Xu Ling and Wu Yazi, or rather Wushuang. Only then did he finally relax a little.
No wonder that fat figure always had a strange, coquettish air. So she really was female.
"So that's how it is..."
Ling Feng let out a long breath. As if he would ever want weapons with such peculiar tastes.
Even if they were divine weapons, he would not accept them.
After all, he already had the Ten Directions Eradicator, and Xiao Bai looked cold and handsome. Though now that he thought about it, these Twin Blades of the Void were not that bad either.
"Master, I may be cute, but I'm a sword spirit. You are not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me."
Wushuang narrowed her eyes at him, though her hands still clung tightly to his arm. Ling Feng's mouth twitched. It looked more like she was the one with improper intentions.
He firmly shook her off and turned to Xu Ling. "You seem more normal. You explain."
Xu Ling nodded. "Eight thousand years ago, the old master knew his lifespan was nearing its end. He built this sacred tomb and left all his inheritance, along with us, inside. Anyone who passes the three trials can obtain part of the inheritance, but only those who solve the Void Chessboard within half an hour can receive the true inheritance and become our new master. It is just that the old master likely never expected it would take over eight thousand years."
"That is not surprising. The Void Obsidian only appears once every thousand years. If it appeared every hundred years, the inheritance would have been taken long ago."
Ling Feng smiled faintly. If that were the case, it would not have been his turn.
"So, what exactly does the Void Sovereign's inheritance include?" Ling Feng asked in a low voice.
