### Chapter 1: Saying Goodbye Right After Meeting (Bonus Update)
==============================
“What does Daddy’s Daddy call,
Daddy’s Daddy is called Grandpa;
What does Daddy’s Mommy call,
Daddy’s Mommy is called Grandma…”
The catchy yet utterly bizarre melody had players instantly recalling the dreaded memories of being assaulted by singing toys at mall entrances.
But wait! Those two little girls didn’t have any player tags floating over their heads—how could NPCs sing children’s songs from the real world?
This is just plain unscientific!
And they were mastering the peak absurdity of it all, brainwashing everyone with a repetitive rhythm that completely obliterated any thoughts of anything else.
Watching those two adorable little lolis humming away on the city walls like they were on a casual stroll, even Li Ying Tian, who was far away, couldn’t shake the hauntingly catchy tune looping endlessly in his mind.
“Oh no!”
Though he had no clue where these two little girls came from, Li Ying Tian’s sharp instincts immediately sensed the undeniable threat emanating from them.
They had to be dealt with—fast!
With a flick of his thoughts, two glowing red flying swords appeared before him. In an instant, a sharp “whoosh” echoed as the swords darted away toward the two little girls like bullets.
The Sect Leader of Thousand Bird City was getting serious—this was no ordinary display of power.
In the blink of an eye, the flying swords were nearly upon them.
Even without knowing these two little girls’ backstories—or the purpose behind that enchanting, magical song that was driving everyone bonkers—who could genuinely feel good about two cute little lolis getting skewered right in front of their eyes?
As the red flying swords from White Feather City were about to penetrate their little skulls, Qingyue, Siyun, and the others screamed. But in their current state, they had zero strength to save them.
And at that critical moment, a thunderous shout echoed throughout the battlefield.
“Dual Wielding! Heavenly Overlord Slash!”
A tall figure suddenly leaped in front of the two little girls, drawing an ‘X’ shape in the air just in time to clash with the two red swords.
With a resounding “clang,” the swords were deflected, altered in their course by an unearthly force. They narrowly skirted past Little Musashi’s shoulders and flew up into the sky, disappearing from sight.
But this was still Li Ying Tian’s surprise attack.
Although Little Musashi had deflected the swords, she couldn’t entirely negate their force.
As she landed on one knee, crossing her twin swords gracefully behind her, crimson streams erupted from her shoulders, instantly staining her flowing white cloak sinisterly red.
But even so, she held her head high, her sharp gaze cutting through everyone like a blade.
[Cold Value from Li Ying Tian of Thousand Bird City +589]
[Cold Value from Gongsun Ding of Thousand Bird City +378]
[Cold Value from the Vulture of White Feather City +456]
[Cold Value from Tang Tong of White Feather City +265]
[Cold Value from Qingyue of Cold Wind City +432]
[Cold Value from Strong Brother of Cold Wind City +10087]
…
“It’s Little Musashi!”
“Oh my god, I can’t be seeing this wrong! It’s really her!”
“She’s back?! Holy smokes, I’m losing it!”
The players on the battlefield and the viewers watching the official livestream erupted in excitement.
The b*llet comments flooded the screen like a torrential downpour, as if that was the only way people could express their shock and thrill.
Yes, the poignant scene of Little Musashi’s demise was still vivid in everyone’s minds—hard to forget, impossible to ignore.
Her undying loyalty and bravery, willing to stab for her friends and disciples, truly living up to her name of “Little Musashi.” Even the Great King of the Split Land from White Feather City had bowed before her, laying a tombstone in her honor.
Everyone thought she had gone to the great digital afterlife, never to be seen again,
yet here she was, quite alive and kicking, stepping once again into this chaotic world at a critical juncture between White Feather City and Cold Wind City.
At that moment, players from any faction couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
Strong Brother, who had already bitten the dust in the Lion Demon rush, with one arm brutally hacked off during a tussle with a Great Demon, leaned weakly against the wall, bl**d spraying out like a faulty sprinkler, and looked to be on the brink of collapse.
But as Little Musashi’s figure appeared before his hazy vision, it was like he’d received a shot of adrenaline, and he straightened up instantly.
“Master! Master!”
“With my Master still here, how could I fall now?”
Little Musashi seemed to notice his gaze, and despite her grave injuries, she nodded toward him from a distance.
“ROAR!”
Strong Brother yelled like a madman, charging at the nearest Great Demon, determined to barrel into the fray even if the odds were stacked against him.
With Little Musashi’s return, the Cold Wind City players, who had given up hope, reignited their courage and determination.
Li Ying Tian, still a little ways off from the battlefield, felt the undeniable shift in the atmosphere, as though White Feather City’s advantage had been completely overturned in a blink.
But he knew exactly what to do—he merely had to eliminate those few individuals who were boosting Cold Wind City’s morale, and the enemy would crumble in an instant.
“Who do you think you are, shining like a tiny grain of rice?”
With a flick of his wrist, twelve red flying swords materialized above him.
“Go!”
This time, the twelve swords launched from all angles, targeting the two bouncing little girls still humming their catchy song.
Little Musashi was already nursing serious wounds from her previous deflection, and with Li Ying Tian unleashing nearly all his power this time, it seemed likely that both she and the two little lolis would meet their end together.
The players, briefly elated at Little Musashi’s resurrection, saw the Thousand Bird City leader ready to m*rder again, and they could hardly believe it.
What the heck is this old coot doing??
Even the players aligned with Thousand Bird City, including Tang Tong, couldn’t help but shout in shock.
Although no one understood why Little Musashi was so desperately protecting those two odd little girls, they could see her shoulders bleeding from the earlier defense.
If she took another hit, there was no way Little Musashi could survive again.
Strong Brother scrambled toward her, willing to use his body to absorb some of the damage for his Master.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
The twelve flying swords darted toward the two bouncy little girls from countless angles, each deadly in its pursuit.
From start to finish, Li Ying Tian considered them his primary targets to eliminate.
Little Musashi gritted her teeth, refusing to bow out just yet, her twin blades carving spirals in the air.
“Dual Wielding! Storm Slash!”
In a hasty moment, a gust of wind exploded outwards, colliding with one of the incoming swords.
But the other eleven swords swept past the whirlwind like crafty silver serpents, twisting their bodies to sh**t deadly venom toward Little Musashi and the little lolis.
At that moment, Strong Brother felt his brain go blank.
No, don’t!
Just when we met, and now we have to say goodbye?
…
P.S.: Sorry for the last chapter’s vibe; I’ll definitely fix that in the future!
I won’t ask for votes anymore—just don’t slap me!
