Chapter 9, the moment of witnessing miracles
Thinking of this, Lin Bo became increasingly unwilling.
In Lu Xiaoyi's dictionary, there is no term "dare not". What has happened to the lofty goddess? Just reach out and pull her down.
Why? Why? It was one thing when I was inferior to him in the past, but now I am a cultivator and he is a mortal, so why am I still not as good as him? I have been working very hard on my cultivation, and among the outer disciples of the same generation, my cultivation level ranks among the top.
This afternoon, Lin Bo was feeling particularly awkward. Being with these two girls, he noticed that Sun Wanwan seemed distracted, her gaze constantly drifting towards the workshop. It felt as if his heart had been turned upside down in a vinegar jar, leaving him with a sour discomfort. Should he walk away? He didn't want to waste this rare opportunity to be with the goddess, yet if he stayed, he wouldn't even catch a glance from her. It was one thing to be outdone by other cultivators, but when did he become inferior even to an ordinary person?
What is this? Nonsense! Sun Wanquan has a thin skin, how could she possibly admit it? However, the flush on her face betrayed her. Meng Qingqing knows her too well; just one look and she can tell that this girl has developed feelings, which makes her heart feel a bit bitter. As for the gap between Xiu Fan and herself, Meng Qingqing does not care at all. As long as Lu Xiaoyi likes her, even if Sun Wanquan is unwilling, she would still be tied up and sent to him.
Sun Wanquan stood up and said, "I will go call them!" Tingting gracefully walked out, leaving Meng Qingqing, who felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and Lin Bo, who was disheveled in the wind.
Isn't it just a beating from you? Now that there are no outsiders, feel free to hit me however you like. Lu Xiaoyi, who has long been accustomed to the streets, understands the mindset of such young girls very well. They are inherently shy, and if you don't take the initiative, the opportunity will slip away. By the time you see a good cabbage being pushed by a pig, it will be too late to regret.
"Whoever asks you to brave the mountains of knives and seas of fire will surely deceive you. First, get the Flying Crane done; if you can't do it well, don't come to see me later." Alright, Sun Wanquan spoke very harshly, but in reality, this task is of no difficulty at all; such is the nature of women.
"Here, give me a kiss, consider it a reward." Lu Xiaoyi whispered in her ear, the warm breath intensifying Sun Wanyuan's rush of blood. In a moment of panic, she glanced back casually, seeing that no one was paying attention to this spot, and quickly pecked before turning and running away
"Qingqing, I am here to help you." Sun Wanquan came over and naturally took a cloth to wipe the table. Meng Qingqing leaned closer and nudged her shoulder: "How are things going between you and my brother?"
Despite being busy until dinner time, Lu Xiaoyi still did not come out. Lin Bo took the initiative to volunteer to call Lu Xiaoyi out, but unexpectedly, he was met with a disdainful glare from Meng Qingqing, who added for free, "What does it have to do with you? Just stay here obediently."
As they spoke, Lu Xiaoyi did not forget to give the goddess's small hand a gentle touch, as one should still take a little advantage.
Lu Xiaoyi was busy in the workshop, tidying up the place. Sun Wanquan and Meng Qingqing wanted to help, but when they entered the workshop, they were chased out by Lu Xiaoyi, who complained, "You two are just wandering around in front of me; how can I focus on my work?"
With a click, Sun Wanquan reached out to turn the crane's head. From the sound, it was clear that there was a slot inside. After adjusting the crane's head properly, the flying crane instantly came to life. It jumped down from the table, let out a call, and performed several flapping motions, truly resembling a vivid and lively flying crane.
In the workshop, Lu Xiaoyi completed the final component; after the last cut of the crane's head was made, only the assembly work remained
Some are anxious, some are burning with desire, and others are peeping. The peeper is Lin Bo, and when he sees Sun Wanwan boldly take a bite, his heart is pierced with a deep hatred, causing him unbearable pain
"What miracle?" Sun Wanyue also felt curious upon hearing this, leaning closer to Lu Xiaoyi and observing the components spread across the table.
However, for women, it is not necessary for you to do much; the key lies in your attitude. Especially for girls of this age, if you have a bun and share half of it with her, it can touch her deeply. If you go hungry and give her the whole bun, not only will it move her to tears, but she might also return half of it to you. In summary, attitude is the most important aspect.
The flying crane powered by the vitality stone rushed towards Sun Wanquan in an instant, leaping and dancing around her like a pet
Sun Wanquan quickly took out a vitality stone, and when Lu Xiaoyi received it, he touched her small hand again, earning a playful slap and a teasing remark: "How annoying!" Lu Xiaoyi, who had taken advantage of the situation, laughed heartily: "Such fragrant and smooth little hands."
The two people were sitting very close together, their faces almost touching. Lu Xiaoyi was momentarily confused and almost lost control, nearly taking a bite out of her. Fortunately, he knew that haste makes waste and that he shouldn't scare the goddess away.
"I won't hit you, but I can't just let you off easily." After all, she was still a girl at heart, and Sun Wanyuan's beautiful big eyes sparkled a few times. "As long as you treat me well, feel free to make any requests. Whatever I can do, I will face it head-on, even if it means going through fire and water." Lu Xiaoyi was not intimidated at all; in fact, his abilities in the Spirit Gathering Continent were hardly worth mentioning.
Sun Wanquan found Meng Qingqing, who was tidying up Lu Xiaoyi's room. Lin Bo in the corridor was feeling bored and his eyes lit up upon seeing Sun Wanquan, but unfortunately, Sun Wanquan paid him no mind and entered the room
The Thousand Machine Sect is indeed skilled in artifact refinement; however, there is one prerequisite: they rarely engage in the hands-on creation of puppets. The Thousand Machine Sect merely refines the already crafted puppets, transforming them into true treasures in the proper sense.
The heated lips gently brushed against the cheek, and Lu Xiaoyi was already filled with a surge of primal blood. Watching Sun Wanquan flee in a panic, he reached out his hand, fingers spread wide, and grasped firmly: "Little girl, you cannot escape from my grasp."
"I said, Wanquan, you are at least a disciple of the Thousand Machine Sect, do I really have to teach you this?" Lu Xiaoyi rolled her eyes, and Sun Wanquan realized she had misspoken, sticking out her pink tongue and making a grasping motion in the air, producing an additional spirit talisman.
Sun Wanwan, in a state of panic, wanted to retract her hand. Lu Xiaoyi exerted more strength, their gazes met once again, and Sun Wanwan, feeling electrified, gave up. Despite being held by him, she whispered, "You are really bold, aren't you afraid I will hit you?" While saying these threatening words, a smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but chuckle first, finding it amusing.
"By the way, how can I make it listen to me?" Sun Wanquan looked delighted, as the craftsmanship and materials of this Flying Crane were top-notch. With careful refinement back home, a premier flying magical artifact is guaranteed.
"What do you think I should reward you with?" She waved her hand, using the Qiankun ring to store the flying crane. Sun Wanquan's face was filled with smiles, and when she faced Lu Xiaoyi again, she almost bumped her lips against his face
Two fingers pinched the talisman paper, and with a flick in the air, the talisman paper was ignited. In the moment it was consumed by flames, divine consciousness was infused into the essence stone
With a thought from Sun Wanwan, "Fly up!" the flying crane leaped out of the doorway, flapping its wings and soaring high, appearing to be anything but a puppet. Under the guidance of Sun Wanwan's mental command, this flying crane, which had not yet undergone refinement, was already able to perform various flying maneuvers according to her instructions. Turning, making sudden stops, gliding, Sun Wanwan was having more and more fun. If she hadn't remembered that it was time for dinner, she could have played a little longer
It turned out that Lu Xiaoyi was happily directing Feihe in play, quietly approaching, and the two were almost touching.
"Look, this is the core component of the Flying Crane, the power assembly." With a whoosh, Lu Xiaoyi skillfully picked up one component after another, assembling them together. "This is the transmission component set, ..." As Lu Xiaoyi moved with expertise, the vivid Flying Crane was born, standing before them like a living creature. "Now, only the final step remains. Do we have the vitality stone?"
When they first met that year, Lu Xiaoyi left a deep impression on Sun Wanyuan. Meng Qingqing nagged daily about the name Lu Xiaoyi, to the point that her ears felt calloused. The training in the mountains was arduous, with very little contact with the opposite sex. In the prime of youth and blossoming feelings, encountering the shameless Lu Xiaoyi, Sun Wanyuan unwittingly found herself entangled.
"Why is this Feihe looking back?" Sun Wanyuan noticed the clue, and Lu Xiaoyi gave a thumbs up: "Smart, truly worthy of being my little sweetheart." With a light pat on the shoulder, Lu Xiaoyi pretended to grin, but Sun Wanyuan felt a pang of sympathy and complained, "You are the most annoying." She reached out and rubbed his shoulder a few times, making Lu Xiaoyi feel as if his bones had turned to mush.
You ... ... ." Looking at the face so close, Sun Wanquan felt her whole body heat up, wanting to escape but lacking the strength. Clearly, she was a cultivator, capable of crushing him with just a flick of her finger, yet why did her body inexplicably weaken when he looked at her so closely, and when the rich scent that belonged to him wafted from the tip of her nose?
When Sun Wanyuan entered, Lu Xiaoyi heard the noise and turned around with a smile: "Just in time, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived"
When the gaze from the opposite side appeared somewhat bewildered, Lu Xiaoyi decisively reached out and grasped the delicate and tender little hand. The sensation was akin to warm jade, causing a slight tremor in Lu Xiaoyi's heart
Meng Qingqing set the bowls neatly, but the others were nowhere to be seen, so she hurried out to look for them. She saw Lin Bo, who was bent over counting ants on the ground, and also caught sight of Sun Wanyuan, who was blushing and scampering away. Finally, she spotted Lu Xiaoyi, who had a satisfied expression, hands behind his back, wearing a mischievous grin, just like a weasel that had just come out of a henhouse
Father once said that a top-tier craftsman can create a raw form of a magical artifact that is infinitely close to the finished product. I used to doubt this, but now I have finally witnessed it. As she spoke, Sun Wanquan's mind moved again, directing the flying crane to land in the courtyard before returning to the workshop.
Open a lid at the bottom of the Feihe, revealing a row of five grooves. In each groove, place a vitality stone, perfectly fitting, neither too big nor too small. Take out four vitality stones from the Qiankun bag to fill the five grooves, then close the lid.
"I hate you, I'm going to find Qingqing." Sun Wanwan could no longer withstand it, broke free, and turned to leave.
Lu Xiaoyi smiled slyly, gazing at the graceful silhouette and swallowing hard
Rest assured, just watch me! A little nibble on my small hand, and I haven't done anything yet, just earning some interest first
You reached out to pull forward. With a cheerful reminder, Lu Xiaoyi looked at the eager Sun Wanyuan.
In order to please the goddess, Lu Xiaoyi is also giving it his all, not mentioning the cost of materials or labor, and working diligently.
