âOkay, letâs do it cleanly and kill everyone here!â Freak said coldly.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue nodded and then controlled her flames to attack Pig Peony and her lackeys. In the blink of an eye, Pig Peony and her group were on fireâ¦
âAh! Iâm on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!â Zhu Mudan screamed in panic. But her subordinates were only concerned about the fire on their bodies, so why would they bother about her! In an instant, the flames devoured Zhu Muda, and there werenât even any ashes leftâ¦
The others didnât escape Zhu Mudanâs ending eitherâ¦
âXueâer, what about this man?â Freak pointed at the fainted man.
Leng Ruoxue put away the flames and said coldly, âKill him!â
âAh! Donât kill me. I wonât sell you out.â The young man was so scared that his entire body was trembling. He hurriedly got up from the ground and looked at them with a flattering expression on his face.?Heavens! These two people are too terrifying. They even dared to kill Zhu Mudan. Boohoo⦠Why am I so unlucky! Will they really silence me?
âWerenât you pretending to be dead?â Leng Ruoxue said with a spurious smile.
âUh! I just woke up,â the young man said awkwardly.?Boohoo⦠I donât have it easy!
âXueâer, letâs kill him for the sake of safety! Only the dead wonât betray us,â Freak said indifferently with his arms crossed.
âYes, I think so too.â Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement.
âNo, donât kill me. I have money. Iâll give you all my money. Please let me go!â the young man pleaded with tears in his eyes.
âDo you think weâre bandits who kill and rob people?â Leng Ruoxue said with slight displeasure as two drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
âAh! No, no. You are great heroes who rid the world of evil for the people. Really, believe me. The people of the city will be grateful to you,â the young man said, full of flattery.
âThereâs no need to be grateful. Itâs good as long as you donât betray us,â Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
âNo, I will never betray you. Otherwise, I will die a horrible death.â Just as the young man finished speaking, a contract array descended from the skyâ¦
âSeeing how sincere you are, we wonât kill you.â Leng Ruoxue suppressed her laughter.?Haha! He probably didnât expect his words to be taken as an oath!
âUm! Itâs what I should do.â The young man wanted to cry but had no tears.?Why am I so unlucky? Boohoo⦠I only said that to express my sincerity. Who knew that the heavens would treat it as a contract. Boohooâ¦
âFreak, letâs go back!â Leng Ruoxue said to Freak after seeing that the matter was over.
âOkay.â Freak nodded. The two of them turned and left, leaving the young man standing there foolishlyâ¦
After a long while, the young man returned to his senses and hurriedly left this troublesome place.
After returning to the inn, Leng Ruoxue and Freak met the waiter again.
âWelcome back,â the waiter greeted them warmly.
âOkay, we plan to enter seclusion for a few days. Donât disturb us,â Leng Ruoxue ordered.
âOkay! Donât worry. I wonât let anyone disturb you,â the waiter promised.
After returning to their room, Leng Ruoxue and Freak directly entered the bracelet.
âXueâer, will there be any trouble?â Leng Qingtian immediately welcomed his granddaughter when he saw her. They had seen what happened in the space just now.
âGrandpa, donât worry. Those who deserved to die are already dead,â Leng Ruoxue comforted.
âOh, thatâs good.â Leng Qingtian felt relieved to hear this.
âLass, what happened just now was really enjoyable! Count me in if thereâs another chance like this in the future!â Old Zao said, wanting to see the world burn.
âItâs good enough for you to protect yourself. Yet you want to get involved?â Old Man glared and mocked.
âI just want to get involved. Whatâs wrong? It makes me happy!â Old Zao roared, unwilling to be outdone.
âStop arguing,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOld Zao, did you see the sacred artifact in Pig Peonyâs hand?â Leng Ruoxue asked.
âI saw it. Good creativity, but lousy technique and ugly appearance,â Old Zao said with contempt. As a good artificer, not only did you have to have good creativity, but your refined equipment had to be beautiful in addition to being powerful.
âYes.â Leng Ruoxue nodded. She wasnât too satisfied with the lousy rod either. It was too crude.
âLass, I have a good idea. But you have to cooperate with me,â Old Zao suddenly said mysteriously.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue nodded. Old Zao piqued her curiosity.
âHaha, Lass, letâs give it a try now!â Old Zao said impatiently. He had thought of this idea for a long time, but he had never had the chance to try it because of his limited capabilities.
âLetâs go!â Leng Ruoxue dragged Freak and left with Old Zao.
The three of them arrived at the artificing workshop that Old Zao had built in the space.
âHaha, Lass, how is it? This place isnât bad, right?â Old Zao said proudly after entering the artificing workshop.
Leng Ruoxueâs beautiful eyes sized up the workshopâs environment and then nodded. âNot bad!â
Although Old Zaoâs artificing workshop was not very big, it had everything. In addition to a furnace in the middle of the workshop, all the materials and items needed for artificing were actually piled in the corner.
âThis place is so messy,â Freak couldnât help saying.
âUh! Donât you think itâs very convenient like this?â Old Zao insisted.
âLaziness is laziness. Youâre just finding excuses!â Freak rolled his eyes at Old Zao speechlessly.
âI really think itâs more convenient this way!â Old Zao quibbled.
âOld Zao, what do you want to refine?â Leng Ruoxue ignored their conversation.
