Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 279 Powerful Breath of Phoenix

Maya and Mayumi answered almost at the same time: "Is there any need to ask? You two went to the aquarium to have fun, so naturally we have to go shopping!" After that, the two smiled at each other, and then couldn't wait to pull Lina up and began to discuss topics that belonged to women enthusiastically.

"Hey, Lina, which brand of cosmetics do you think is good recently? I feel like the one I bought before wasn't very effective." Maya asked first.

"Oh, Lina, what styles of clothes are popular this year? I don't know how to choose." Mayumi immediately agreed.

In this way, the three girls chatted enthusiastically about various things that women care about, such as cosmetics, fashion clothes, etc., completely leaving Da Gu and No Rui aside.

Meanwhile, Ye Rui, arms laden with shopping bags, finally made his way to the front of the crowd. He was already breathless, sweat dripping down his forehead.

He panted, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "Today I am completely convinced by these two young ladies, Maya and Mayumi. I finally experienced firsthand how powerful women are when they go shopping!"

"But fortunately, my white moonlight Yuri Tezuka is not like them..." When he said this, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Nori's face.

Dagu looked at the somewhat miserable Ye Rui, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a smile. Then the five of them found a small table in the square, sat around it like stars surrounding the moon, and began to talk about some things.

Ye Rui looked at Da Gu and Lina, and said with a smile on his face: "I think your wedding date is not far away."

Dagu's face was filled with a happy smile like a blooming spring flower. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, everything has been discussed and it will be held next week."

"That's great! Lina will definitely look like a fairy in her wedding dress." Mayumi held her little head with both hands and said with envy on her face.

"Of course!" Lina's face was full of pride, "This is the dress that Dagu personally picked for me."

Mayumi pouted in dissatisfaction: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked. You two are so in tune with each other after your trip. I'm really jealous!"

Lina's face was filled with a smile as bright as the sun. She said, "If you're envious, you need to work harder. Ever since your girl won the Capital Region competition and got engaged, she's been traveling around the world non-stop. She even said she'd become outstanding before discussing marriage with your brother."

"You're talking about Takuma? Don't mention it. I don't know if it's because my brother puts too much pressure on him. He's like a spinning top that never stops, always spinning. He said he would become incomparably outstanding before talking to my brother about marriage." Mayumi had been so ambitious just now, but now she looked like a deflated ball, her eyes and expression dim.

"Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel that I have a better understanding of Xincheng. You know, to him, you are his only biological sister." Maya followed this topic and expressed her own views.

Mayumi's face showed a trace of helplessness, and she sighed softly, "Alas, in my heart, I really hope that my brother can say goodbye to his single life as soon as possible. You can all see it, but the problem is that he doesn't work hard enough to fight for it. Even if I want to help, I can't do anything!"

At this point, Mayumi turned her gaze to Maya and asked, "Maya, hasn't Zhao Ming come back yet?"

Daigu followed Mayumi's words and looked at Maya with the same concern, waiting for an answer.

Maya shook her head and responded with a frown: "That's right, this guy has been gone for more than half a month this time, and there has been no news from him since then. In my opinion, he must have encountered some troubles!" After saying that, Maya couldn't help but look a little annoyed and worried.

At this moment, Dagu's expression turned serious, and he spoke with a hint of worry, "Then the captain's situation isn't very optimistic..."

However, before he could finish his words, Noriyuki beside him quickly interrupted, "Don't worry, Dagu! Before I left the base, the commander sent a communication message saying that they had successfully picked up the captain and that he was currently on his way back!"

Hearing this, everyone's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Maya speculated, "Based on this, Zhao Ming must have already emerged from the ruins. He might even be back home by now."

"I heard someone's looking for me?" Just as everyone was discussing this, a familiar, clear voice suddenly rang out from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man striding slowly towards them. Upon closer inspection, they saw it was Zhao Ming!

Maya's sharp eyes spotted Zhao Ming's figure immediately, and a beaming smile instantly spread across her face. She hurried forward to greet him. Within moments, the two of them were holding each other's hands tightly, slowly walking side by side towards the crowd.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Zhao Ming, who carefully held a uniquely shaped and exquisitely crafted ornament in his hands. The ornament was golden in color, inlaid with a sapphire-like, translucent gem. Its shape resembled a phoenix spreading its wings, so lifelike that it seemed ready to soar into the sky at any moment.

Seeing this, the people around could not contain their curiosity and gathered around, wanting to take a closer look at this rare treasure.

However, facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Zhao Ming seemed unaware. He walked straight through the crowd, holding the Lihuo Sword that emitted a mysterious light, and came in front of Dagu.

The corners of Zhao Ming's mouth rose slightly, revealing a bright smile, and then he grinned and said: "Dagu, congratulations on your marriage! This Breath of Phoenix carefully forged by me can be regarded as a small gift from me to you." As he said that, he gently handed the sword in his hand to Dagu.

Dagu joyfully extended his hands, solemnly accepting this precious gift. Just as he grasped the golden phoenix ornament on the hilt of the sword, something unexpected happened—the blue crystal stone on the blade began to shimmer faintly, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, beautiful and mysterious.

Seeing this magical scene, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Zhao Ming explained with a smile: "Dagu, this is specially made for you!

Not only is it magnificent in appearance, but it also possesses a unique ability—it can freely transform into different forms according to your wishes. I hope this Lihuo Sword will become a valuable companion in your and Lina's new life, accompanying you through every happy and fulfilling moment."

After saying that, Zhao Ming smiled again and handed the extremely powerful treasure in his hand to Dagu.

Dagu stretched out his hands with surprise and carefully took the mysterious sword. As he grasped the hilt, the blue crystal stone embedded in the blade suddenly flickered with a faint and soft light, as if communicating with him.

In an instant, countless information about how to use and activate this sword and the powerful skills it carries flooded in like a tide, instantly filling Dagu's mind.

"Wow, this sword looks so powerful!" Mayumi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed with envy.

At this moment, Maya held Zhao Ming's hand tightly and said proudly, "Of course! Although this guy is not very reliable in normal times, when it comes to magic level, there is absolutely nothing to say!"

Dagu took a deep breath, and like a devout believer, he began to concentrate his mind, activating the latent light power within him. As his mind moved, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the hilt like a volcanic eruption, rapidly spreading along the blade, ultimately forming a massive and incredibly sharp golden energy lightsaber.

This golden energy lightsaber, like a brilliant golden sun, emanated a heart-pounding wave of powerful energy the moment it appeared. The surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly at the shock of this force.

"The power that this treasure can release is extremely astonishing. You must keep it properly." Zhao Ming said with a serious expression, like an experienced elder.

Dagu nodded solemnly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, as if he was promising something to Zhao Ming. "Thank you, Zhao Ming. This gift is really great!"

"Hey, we're all brothers, let's not be so formal!" Zhao Ming waved his hand casually, a smile as bright as the sun. To him, Dagu was not only his first good friend in this strange world, but also a close partner he could trust and rely on.

Lina was also watching happily from the side. She could feel that such a small object seemed to hide a vast microcosm, containing immense energy.
