The Knifeman and the Swordsman

To promote prosperity across both continents, the junior sister of the Blade Sect from the Western Continent was betrothed to the eldest son of the Sword Sect from the Eastern Continent. When the Sword Sect disciples heard the news, they hurried over to congratulate him. "We hear the Blade Sect's junior sister is the Western Continent's number-one beauty. The eldest young master is a lucky man!" In response, the eldest young master took out his top-grade life-bound spirit sword and beat every Sword Sect disciple who had come to congratulate him until they were black and blue. Then he declared, with unwavering conviction, "A swordsman must keep far away from women! With no women in your heart, your sword will naturally become divine!" * Someone with an agenda quickly spread these words to the Western Continent. The Blade Sect disciples were outraged. They grabbed their enormous cleavers and headed to the Sword Sect to break off the engagement on their junior sister's behalf. But the junior sister blocked the entrance and cleaved the mountain to the right clean in half, her presence as imposing as a rainbow. "Breaking off the engagement is out of the question! No one is leaving this place today!" The Blade Sect disciples trembled. But then the junior sister lovingly wiped her dusty, two-meter-long cleaver with her sleeve and said with deep affection, "Men can only slow down how fast I draw my blade, but money can't." The Blade Sect disciples: ??? The junior sister: "The Sword Sect is the richest sect in the Nine Continents. I hear they even decorate their sword scabbards with innate spirit stones." The Blade Sect disciples looked down at the overly plain cleavers in their hands and fell into deep thought. Sword Sect, would you mind arranging a few more political marriages? Whether we marry or not doesn't matter. The important thing is that our blades shouldn't go without. The Western Continent is poor! * At first, the eldest young master thought little of the Blade Sect's junior sister. He figured she was so weak and delicate she couldn't even lift a blade, a good-for-nothing from the Blade Sect. To break off the engagement, he even resorted to scaring her with spirit bees. Later, a spirit-stone mine was discovered in the Western Continent. That supposedly weak and delicate junior sister from the Western Continent took out her two-meter-long cleaver, wiped out the demonic creatures rampaging through the city with a single slash, and threw a beehive of demonic bees at the eldest young master. Then she gave her cleaver a kiss and cheered, "My baby, Mommy has a mine now! Once we break off the engagement today, I'll take you for a deluxe spa treatment!" The eldest young master: ??? At the engagement-breaking ceremony, the eldest young master was covered in bee stings. He kept thinking about that astonishing slash and suddenly called out to his former fiancee. He said solemnly, "How about a duel? I'll give you a spirit-stone mine if you win." Junior sister: !!! "Draw your sword!"
