Chapter 7 True Past

 Why are you following me?!"

David was depressed. He turned around and looked at the little tail that had been following him all the way — Miley.

What's the use of you now that you've finished chopping them?

In his eyes, Miley had lost her value.

Yes, it was a body without a soul.

"Who's following you? I live here too! "

As a genius girl of the Jade Sky Academy, there were many boys pursuing her. They didn't even have the chance to take a stroll with her. This guy actually dared to give her the cold shoulder.

"Alright, I'll head north!" David said.

"I'm going south!" The young girl said in a huff.

"Goodbye …"

Without any hesitation, David walked toward North Street.

"You … you really won't tell me your name?!"

For some reason, Miley felt a little disappointed. She stared blankly at the back of the figure that was gradually disappearing. She couldn't help but twirl a strand of hair around her fingers.

As he walked past a tea stall, David suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at the lonely young girl. Word by word, he said, "Aris! Drakewood! "

"Uh …"

Miley was stunned. A bright smile appeared on her small face. She nodded seriously and said solemnly, "Aris, I'll remember. Thank you for saving me."

David lied without blushing. He didn't feel guilty for deceiving the young girl.

In this day and age, safety was the most important thing!

Furthermore, they were in a dangerous world like the Jade Serpent Continent. How could he casually reveal his real name? He had to be careful!

At that moment, a beautiful blue figure ran over. She brushed past David and quickly jumped into Miley's arms.

"Sister! Where did you go? You've been missing for the whole day. I was so worried! "

The newcomer was a young girl of about 15 or 16 years old. She had long blue hair and beautiful facial features. She was wearing a snow-white dress. Although her appearance wasn't as stunning as Miley's, she was still a rare beauty.

Upon closer inspection, this young girl actually looked somewhat similar to Miley.

"Scarlet, I'm sorry to have made you worry. I met some trouble on the way. "Fortunately, it wasn't too big of a problem." Miley smiled and gently patted the young girl in her arms.

This person was Miley's younger sister, Scarlet Starfall!

"Scarlet, it's all thanks to that Aris who saved me."

Miley pointed at David not far away and introduced him to her younger sister.

"Aris Drakewood?!"

Scarlet curiously sized up David. Her sly big eyes rolled around. She couldn't help but open her small mouth and say in surprise, "Sister, why are you with this person?!"

"Scarlet, don't be rude. "This is my savior," Miley said.

"Sister, you've been deceived. He's not Aris at all!"

Scarlet said in annoyance, "This person is the one I mentioned to you before. The infamous trash prince of Jade Summit City — David Throne!"

"What? You're David, the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor … "

Hearing this, Miley's eyes widened. She looked at David in disbelief.

In addition to being a trash without a martial soul, David's predecessor had a special identity.

He was the illegitimate son of the Emperor of the Jade Summit Empire, the Snow Night Emperor. According to age, he should be the Jade Summit Empire's Fifth Prince!

It was completely normal for an emperor to have a Woman by the Cold Lake.

However, David's mother, Sarah Thorne, was not the pure and innocent woman. She was a famous prostitute in a brothel. Although she only sold her skills and not her body, she was still a prostitute.

The dignified Emperor of the Jade Summit Empire had a relationship with a prostitute and had an illegitimate son. This was undoubtedly something that damaged the dignity of the Imperial Family.

Most importantly, David, the illegitimate son of the Emperor, was a trash without a martial soul and could not cultivate.

The Snow Night Emperor was a man of great talent and bold vision. He had ruled the Jade Summit Empire for decades. His wisdom and martial prowess had long been known throughout the Jade Serpent Continent. Even among the past Emperors of Jade Summit, he was second to none!

However, he gave birth to such a useless son …

Not only was his status low, but his aptitude was also extremely poor. It was impossible for him to become a Soul Master in the future, let alone achieve anything.

For the Snow Night Emperor who ruled the world, David could be said to be the shame of his life. He attracted a lot of ridicule from the common people and greatly affected the dignity of the Imperial Family.

As an illegitimate son, David did not have the qualifications to inherit the Snow Night Emperor's surname. He followed his mother's surname and did not have the qualifications to inherit the throne. Therefore, he had been wandering outside.

Ever since his mother passed away due to illness, he has lived alone. That cheap father in the Imperial Palace had long abandoned him and never cared about his life or death.

One day, David transmigrated into the body of this trash prince with the same name and surname, and began his adventure in the Jade Serpent Continent …

 "Alright! How dare you lie to me! "

After finding out the truth, Miley was furious. She quickly ran in front of David and glared at him fiercely with her almond-shaped eyes. "You are not Aris at all. You are David!"

David was in the wrong, so he did not speak with a straight face.

He thought to himself, I've already cut you. What's wrong with lying to you one more time?

"Sister, were you really saved by this guy? He doesn't have a Martial Soul!"

Scarlet walked over with a face full of suspicion. Her words were full of doubt as she sized up David curiously. She did not believe that this good-for-nothing prince had the ability to save her sister.

So what if he doesn't have a Martial Soul?

Didn't he still cut your sister down without a Martial Soul?

Do you believe that I'll find a deserted place to cut you down too?

David cursed silently. No matter how he looked at this pair of sisters, he did not like them.

Time was precious, and he did not want to continue arguing with them. He walked to the end of the street without saying a word.

When he reached a willow tree with a crooked neck, David suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked up and saw a shabby blacksmith's shop in front of him.

The blacksmith's shop was really too shabby. The walls were badly cracked, and the gray paint on the walls had almost peeled off. Even the shop was slanted. It looked like it had not been repaired for at least ten years.

Clang! Clang! Clang …

Just as he walked into the blacksmith's shop, a rhythmic, heavy sound rang out. The powerful sound of metal clashing caused his eardrums to buzz!

David looked up and saw a fire furnace in the middle of the shop. As the bellows were pulled, the flames in the furnace leaped up.

The furnace was burning brightly!

A gray-haired old man stood in front of the furnace, forging a weapon.

He looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His eyes were sunken, and his skin was dry. He looked very old. His tall body was wrapped in a tattered cotton-padded jacket. Coupled with his unshaven face, he looked like a savage who had just walked out of the mountains.

However, his eyes were bright and full of spirit as he skillfully swung the hammer in his hand.

The iron hammer that was raised high in the air was like a waterfall that poured down in torrents. It heavily smashed onto the unformed iron embryo, causing sparks to fly in all directions!

Every hammer strike was filled with power, causing the entire shop to tremble slightly.

"Old lunatic, the quality of your saber is too poor. I haven't even used it for two days, and it's already broken …"

David walked to the stove and slowly pulled out the saber at his waist. He pointed at the jagged gap on the blade and complained to the grey-haired old man. He looked like a customer who had been cheated by an unscrupulous merchant.

Under the strengthening of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, the power of his Saber Drawing Technique had skyrocketed, and the damage to the saber had also increased. When he pulled out the Frost Saber, the saber that he had not used for long was almost completely damaged.

"Did you use a saber to cut open the mountain?!"

Crazy 'Ole glanced at the broken saber that David had taken out and couldn't help but frown. "You still call me a lunatic, but I think you're the one who's a complete lunatic!"

"I'll return this broken saber to you and add five gold soul coins for a new saber!" David said shamelessly.

Crazy 'Ole shook his head and pointed at the wall on the left with his calloused fingers. On the wall that was blackened by the stove smoke, there was a square sign with two couplets written on it.

The first couplet: No warranty, no refund.

The second couplet: Money and goods cleared, no refund.

The horizontal scroll: Buy it or leave it!

"Tsk, no wonder your shabby shop has no business. With this kind of service, who would …"

David couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He originally wanted to add some money to exchange for a new saber, but it seemed that this old man had no business sense at all.

However, although Crazy 'Ole had a strange temper, his forging skills were top-notch.

He glanced at the finished sabers on the rack and saw the cold light flowing on the blades, like a cold moon blooming, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

His eyes lit up. It seemed that Crazy 'Ole had forged many good sabers in the days that he hadn't seen him.

"Here, ten gold soul coins for me to pick a new saber."

David took out ten gold soul coins and put them beside the stove. He casually threw his broken saber to the corner and walked to the rack to pick a new saber.

Crazy 'Ole had always been a man of few words, so he didn't say much. He silently put away the money and continued to immerse himself in forging.
