TSFLIP Chapter 385

On the vast and lofty Haomiao Peak, the sky stretched out in a clear, endless blue.

It was daytime.

Fengguang stood blankly inside her bamboo house, her gaze falling once again on the Cold Abyss Sword resting on the table. Everything here was just as it had always been.

She emptied the contents of her storage bracelet onto the table—dried plums, beef jerky, chestnuts, walnuts… Everything was there. But that bottle of medicine and the sword tassel were undeniably missing.

She confirmed it. She hadn’t been dreaming—she had traveled to another world. And she had truly met Fang Yue.

“I traveled through time and space!” she exclaimed excitedly, only to quickly regain her composure. “Wait a minute, isn’t it pretty normal for me to be able to travel? Why am I getting all worked up?”

Fengguang sat down at the table, casually grabbing a piece of beef jerky from a paper bag and chewing on it. Her gaze rested on the Cold Abyss Sword as she mumbled through her mouthful, “So, you’re not just a sword that can transmit voices across time—you have the power to traverse time and space too. Huh, you are a treasure.”

Then, she playfully thought to herself, Hey, System-kun, someone’s stepping on your turf. Aren’t you going to come out and defend your intellectual property?

She was just joking, of course. It would be a miracle if that cold and aloof System-kun even acknowledged her.

“Fengguang.”

She was still lost in her teasing thoughts when a familiar voice suddenly echoed from within the Cold Abyss Sword. Stunned for a moment, she quickly swallowed her beef jerky and asked, “Fang Yue, is your injury okay!?”

“My wound has already healed.”

“That quickly? But your chest was practically punctured!” If she remembered correctly, he had taken a serious wound—one that had left a hole in his chest.

“Fengguang, it has already been over two months since I was injured.”

His way of addressing her had changed—from calling her young lady to simply saying her name. And because it was so natural, Fengguang didn’t even find it strange. Resting her chin on her hand atop the table, she murmured in realization, “So, time flows differently between our worlds. You know, I traveled to your side, but when I came back, it was the same moment I had left—so my time must have been completely paused. Hmm… If that’s the case, what if one day you become an old man, and I’m still a young and beautiful girl?”

She had just been joking, but to her surprise, he responded seriously, “I will train diligently. Once I succeed in overcoming the tribulation, I will be just like you.”

Just like her? Naturally, he meant eternal youth.

Fengguang’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly quickening in pace. She had a feeling that continuing this conversation would lead somewhere dangerous. Clearing her throat, she wisely changed the topic. “Um… about the sword tassel…”

“I’ve kept it with me.”

“Well… red doesn’t match the blue Cold Abyss Sword. You don’t have to attach it to the sword—just keep it in your pocket or something.” Fengguang was concerned that someone might mock the Grand Disciple of the Mystic Sect for his questionable fashion sense, so she kindly offered some advice.

He chuckled softly. “I understand.”

Fengguang suddenly found herself at a loss for words, and silence settled between them.

“Uh… um…” The quiet stretched on for too long, and she started feeling awkward. Desperate to fill the gap, she fumbled for a topic. “What time is it over there? It’s still daytime here.”

“It is afternoon on my side.”

“Oh… That’s usually when you practice swordsmanship. Makes sense—if you weren’t training, you wouldn’t have conveniently pulled out the Cold Abyss Sword just now.” She muttered to herself before adopting a more serious tone. “You were gravely injured not long ago, so don’t push yourself too hard. You still have a whole world to save, don’t you? Take care of your body—you need to think long-term. Imagine if, one day, while you’re out slaying demons, you suddenly collapse from exhaustion because you didn’t get enough sleep. That would be the biggest joke of all!”
