CHAPTER 892: CHAPTER 889: TREATING YOU GENTLY

Xu Wendong was focused on weapon forging, completely unaware that Ye Qingmei was using him as a subject of her daydreams.

Of course, if he knew, he wouldn’t mind in the slightest.

After all, he’s the kind of guy who doesn’t say no.

Who can refuse the allure of a beautiful older lady’s attention?

Once the Black Iron was shaped into a hammerhead, Xu Wendong added three other rare ores to enhance its hardness and toughness, while also making it more aesthetically pleasing.

After completing these steps, Xu Wendong’s expression became more serious than ever before.

Weapon forging involves three steps: smelting, shaping, and ritesmithing.

He had completed the first two steps.

Now comes the most crucial step.

If any error occurred during the ritesmithing, all the previous hours of work would be wasted.

He took a deep breath, pinched a spell with his hands, and controlled the nature’s spiritual energy to gather in mid-air.

As the spiritual energy entered the hammerhead,

Xu Wendong concentrated, guiding the Array Soul of the Gravity Array into the hammerhead as well.

This was the only way he could think of to integrate the formation and artifact refining.

Although in theory, the Array Soul would quickly dissipate after leaving the array base.

However,

once the weapon was successfully forged, it could provide spiritual energy for the Array Soul, achieving a complementary effect.

Of course,

all of this was Xu Wendong’s hypothesis, and he had no certainty of success.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The dark cyan hammerhead emitted a dazzling radiance in the air and began to tremble, giving the impression it might explode at any moment.

Xu Wendong held his breath, his body enveloped in a faint layer of golden light, fearing the hammer might explode and harm him.

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes passed, and the once-trembling hammerhead gradually calmed.

"Did it work?"

Xu Wendong’s heartbeat quickened, his eyes gleaming with disbelief.

He hadn’t expected to succeed on his first try at artifact refining.

This gave him a dreamlike feeling.

Because everyone said artifact refining was very difficult.

But to him,

it didn’t seem all that hard!

With a thought, the newly forged hammerhead flew to his side.

The hammerhead wasn’t large, about the size of an adult’s palm, glowing with dark cyan hues, shimmering with vibrant colors, clearly no ordinary item.

However, though not large, the hammerhead weighed over five hundred pounds.

Indeed.

A seemingly small hammerhead truly weighed over five hundred pounds, and if the Gravity Array within it was activated, it could instantly unleash a weight of five thousand, even fifty thousand pounds.

This was why Xu Wendong wanted to forge a hammer, as it would make his future weapon crafting much easier.

After all, as the saying goes, to do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools.

"I need to name this hammer..."

Xu Wendong gazed at the hammer in his hand with affection, as if looking at a beloved woman.

"How about calling it Wishful Hammer?"

"Yes, yes, although the name is a bit cliché, it has a beautiful meaning!"

He put away the Wishful Hammer.

By now, daylight had arrived.

He drew a bucket of well water and poured it over his head, the cool sensation instantly dispelling his exhaustion and heat, leaving him feeling slightly relaxed.

Admittedly, artifact refining wasn’t as difficult as he imagined, but the entire process was still a challenge for him.

After all, spiritual power had to remain highly focused and tense. Suddenly relaxing felt as though his whole body was drained.

Xiao Die thoughtfully prepared tasty dishes for Xu Wendong.

After eating, Xu Wendong returned to his room and lay down on the bed, falling asleep.

Although he could use cultivation to drive away his fatigue, he preferred sleeping as a way to restore strength, because when sleeping, he didn’t have to think about anything.

He slept until nearly sunset.

Feeling as if someone was watching him, Xu Wendong groggily opened his eyes to see a lovely silhouette entering his view.

Seeing Zhongli smiling at him, Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, and he instinctively sat up: "Senior Sister Zhong, you’re out of seclusion?"

He had been at the Jade Maiden Palace for almost half a month.

Initially, he came to see Zhongli and the others, but they were in closed cultivation, so he hadn’t seen them until now.

"I saw you smiling in your sleep. Did you have a sweet dream?" Zhongli’s eyes sparkled like water, her face radiant like a peach blossom.

Xu Wendong reached out to embrace her slender waist, gently pulling her into his arms. The lady let out a startled cry, then settled into Xu Wendong’s embrace.

"Don’t be naughty!" Zhongli’s face turned crimson, as the place was not far from the Grand Elder’s residence, and she didn’t want the Grand Elder to hear anything.

"Didn’t Senior Sister want to know what I dreamt of? I dreamt of you!" Xu Wendong said with a playful smile, "Doesn’t Senior Sister want my dream to come true?"

Zhongli’s eyes were full of spring, surprised that Xu Wendong dreamt of her. She blushed and said, "Well, but be gentle."

"Of course, I’ll treat you tenderly." Xu Wendong leaned in to kiss her luscious red lips.

As everything fell into place,

they entered a world of love together.

Even though Zhongli tried to restrain her voice,

she couldn’t suppress her emotions.

She let out sounds that were hard for her to articulate.

To avoid distracting from the experience, Xu Wendong specially set up a small barrier to ensure no sound escaped.

However,

being just a Yellow Rank Array Master, the barrier he set couldn’t block someone like Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei was in the courtyard, petting a cat.

She vaguely heard sounds of woman’s joyous moans, her heart immediately filled with turmoil, knowing as one who’s been there, she understood what was happening.

Driven by curiosity, her Soul Force silently reached Xu Wendong’s residence and witnessed the scene unfolding inside.

Xu Wendong was like a formidable god of slaughter, moving unrestrainedly over Zhongli, the strength and intensity deeply moved her soul.

That scene was like a branding iron, searing into the softest part of her heart, leaving a mark that even time couldn’t heal.

She immediately retracted her Soul Force.

Her face had already flushed with a drunk-like redness, resembling a ripe peach on a tree, with an alluring appeal.

And a strong desire arose within her.

At that moment,

she couldn’t help but fantasize.

If she were Zhongli, how happy would that be!

But,

all her fantasies were reduced to a soft sigh.

Even though she longed for that kind of experience, she had a Daoist partner before and was no longer a virgin.

Furthermore, the Jade Maiden Palace had many pure maidens.

Even if she approached Xu Wendong, telling him she wanted to practice Dual Cultivation with him,

would he agree?
