Mysterious Roots

Xue Ji walked over to the sword that was hovering in the air. That sword looks so alluring. Anyone who sees it will surely be tempted to take it. It was a charm that one could not resist if one did not have the determination.

"Miss, are you going to take it?" Peng Yuan also approached the sword. His eyes sparkled. His heart felt moved and captivated by the weapon.

Xue Ji smiled widely. "Do you want it?"

Peng Yuan swallowed his saliva. He eyed the sword in front of him with passion. His hand was subconsciously raised. He was about to touch the sword, but Bai Xiu held him back. "You have to be able to resist this kind of impulse. Don't let greed fill your heart."

Bai Xiu's words made Xue Ji giggle. "You sound so wise. But have you really never wanted any kind of luxury or wealth?"

"Of course, I have," Bai Xiu said calmly. "And it ended badly. So, I have learned my lesson."
