Fairy, Your Natal Sword Has Gained a Spirit

Bai Yue Ning has been at her wits' end lately.

Her treasured sword seems to have developed a mind of its own.

Other sword cultivators in a fight: become one with their swords, graceful and cool.

Her in a fight: her mind is filled with a live broadcast from the sword spirit!

“Ow, ow, ow! Easy! That's a bone, not tofu!”

“My back! My back is going to break! Fairy, could you at least warn me before you hit me?”

What's worse, this blasted sword is bound to her by a [Life-Bound Sword Pact].

If the sword breaks, she dies.

So Bai Yue Ning, an outer sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect, is forced to begin the diligent daily routine of “raising” her sword.

The essence of the monsters she kills gets absorbed by him. Any heavenly treasures she finds go toward repairing his blade first.

She thought she'd picked up a demanding little ancestor, but it turns out the sword spirit is a cheat code instead:

“Three steps to your left, then stab its weak spot!”

“Quick, that's essence! It's a huge tonic for me!”

“With me here, I'll make you a legend with one sword strike!”

From then on, one person and one sword wreak havoc across the cultivation world.

But...

Bai Yue Ning gazes at the white-robed sword spirit behind her, now in human form, breathtakingly elegant yet constantly faking injuries and crying out in pain...

For the Nth time, Bai Yue Ning sinks into thought: Is it still too late to return him?

[Lighthearted cultivation + a sword spirit to raise + a satisfying comeback story]
