Volume One, Chapter 42: All You Know Is How to Threaten Him

"Eldest Miss, are you also an artifact master?"
"Not really. It's just that the things other people make don't suit my hands." Cheng Xi had no desire to be an artifact master; it was dirty, tiring, and arduous. Give it enough time, and even a beauty would end up looking like Li Kui.
Jiang Boyu patted his chest. Oh good, oh good. Being skilled in medicine and talismans was already terrifying enough; if she were also an artifact master, how were other people supposed to live?
"Eldest Miss is right. That's why we need to find a powerful artifact master, but all the formidable ones are in the Four Great Academies. Asking someone to craft a magical treasure is not easy," Jiang Boyu sighed.
"Since that's the case, send them over to me," Cheng Xi said, then looked at Jiang Boyu again. "It would be best to find someone strong who knows a bit about artifact forging..."

Upon hearing about this, Yan Heru was stunned for a moment. Although she felt very sad inside, she still shook her head, pretending to be indifferent.
At that time, what angered Yan Bailqi was that his son Yan Qing had colluded with an "outsider," Su Zhishen, to swindle money from their Yan family.
Shen Hezhe was pulled back from his thoughts by this title of "Prince," temporarily abandoning his contemplation of the matter just now.
"Why not just split it fifty-fifty? Why go through all this trouble!" Meng子涵 suddenly blurted out from the side.
No matter who this matter was told to, it was actually a colossal secret. Furthermore, if it weren't someone she trusted, she wouldn't have spilled such a secret.
"Don't worry for now. I do have this herb on me, but I hope you can wait for me to go and check on the curator, because I'm very worried about what state the curator is in right now," Yan Heru said, looking at Han Xingzhou.

Yan Poyue was assigned to the Fourth Platoon. As a rookie who had just left home not long ago, the task given to him was the simplest one: peeling garlic. As for mincing meat, which required the most physical stamina, it was personally handled by the platoon leader of the Fourth Platoon himself.
Mo Yi had been dispatched by Yan Heru to the kitchen to get some food, because Yan Heru had been sorting through these herbs deep into the night and was feeling a bit hungry.
Perhaps feeling somewhat relieved and dropping her guard, the timid An Li lost her footing and was unsteady. Liuxing rushed hurriedly to the spot right below her and caught An Li at the split second of impact.
Right at that moment, Teacher Wu walked upstairs carrying a stack of textbooks; she was probably going to teach Lu Yu and the others' class in the next period.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yan accompanied Miao Wanqing to the hospital to see Miao Qing. When he heard how Xiao Yan had sent Tie Xianlang rolling on the ground in pain multiple times, Miao Qing laughed heartily, instantly sweeping away the gloom on his face.
Later on, Wong Fei-hung's disciple Lin Shirong, also known as "Porky Wing," combined Tiger Boxing and Crane Boxing, creating the renowned Tiger-Crane Double Form.
The Heaven-Overturning Demonic Sovereign sat there like a towering mountain, ice-cold light shooting from his eyes while a monstrous murderous aura surged from his body.
"Mother, we have everything else needed for the New Year in the house, but we're short on meat right now. It's time to cure the cured meat, but Father got hurt and everyone forgot about this," Dongling said while speaking with Yang Wanqing, who was washing rice beside her.
Outside the building entrance, Li Shanjing caught up to Li Rui, grabbed him by the shoulder to stop him, and roared loudly.
"Whether we can break the deadlock and escape depends entirely on you!" Gu Changfeng looked at the Underworld Dao Vein fruit in his hand and took a bite. A blazing heat instantly sprouted from the blood-red flesh, surging into his mouth.
"No, it's that Mommy doesn't like Uncle Ji, and Uncle Ji doesn't like Mommy." Perhaps because she had given herself this mental suggestion so many times, Shen Chu felt it was completely logical when she said it out loud.
"Were you captured too?" Qin Zhuang, having her bonds untied, rubbed her wrists and looked at Feng Guang with some suspicion.
"Ghost uncles said I look very pretty, I cannot cry!" She sniffed, forcibly holding back the mist of tears that had condensed in her eyes.
Shui Bo was quite willing to do hard work without complaints; he basically never talked back or resisted. In the morning, he would wake up, tidy up the rooms for checked-out guests, and change the pillowcases and bedsheets. When bedding items began fluttering everywhere in the courtyard, Shui Bo would put on a battered straw hat and start tending to his vegetable patch once again. Every time Shui Yin woke up and looked out the wooden cabin window, this was the exact scene that greeted her.
"It's being rushed right now, there are no issues for the moment." Li Ziyang roughly explained the situation. Judging from the current state of affairs, everything was proceeding very smoothly.
"Cousin, Fei'er is willing to do this, Cousin need not worry about Fei'er." For some reason, Yan Shuangfei suddenly found Pei Xiyuan looking a bit terrifying in this state, not as approachable and warm as just a moment ago.
"Hehe, Brother Wu Ming, where have you been wandering off to during this time? Finding you is truly not easy," Qi Shaoguang grasped Wu Ming's hand and laughed heartily.
Never had he expected that Li Ziyang could still utter such words at a time like this. Zhan Qingyi was both ashamed and furious; releasing her grip, she delivered a slap right across his face.
As far as her eyes could reach, Xiao Caifu saw strange men emerging from various corners, gathering together in a swarm.

She knew it; Dowager Consort Wang couldn't have come up with this out of thin air just to orchestrate this marriage because of some person named Moyan.
If it were the previous master, no matter what, she would have obediently stayed within the boudoir. But this current master had feet as if greased; if she didn't go out every three days or so, her whole body would itch all over. She herself was fine, but the ones who suffered were the maidservants. By the time she returned, it looked like she would have to worry for half a day yet again.
"Everyone step back a bit, step back..." Wang Zhi knitted his brows tightly, maintaining order at the scene, yet he couldn't help glancing toward the entrance.
Therefore, Landon did not see her immediately after learning that Jani had arrived; instead, he spent an entire day brewing Corona ginger beer. Through this process, the entire plan truly became complete.
With his finger hooked relentlessly on the trigger, bullets continued to pour toward the bathroom doorway. He puzzledly turned his head toward the direction the sound came from.
Did she feel wronged in her heart? Judging by her words and actions today, she had probably served plenty of tea and waved many fans back in the day. Now that her life was gradually improving, she unexpectedly wanted to come back and act like a relative.
The instant blood flooded his eyeballs, another stream of sword qi shattered the Sword Immortal Qingfeng's sword qi, and the remaining shockwave blew Su Wanwan away.
Regardless of whether it was the Federation, the Silent Night, or the Facing Light Council and other factions, it was an extremely unstable factor.
The broken sword continuously disintegrated in the wind, holding back Feng Wuliang's attack for just a few breaths before shattering completely.
The five major sects would all participate in this Dragon Abyss Secret Realm. So as not to be outdone by other sects, the Heavenly Sword Sect specially had She Shihua pilot the flying spirit boat to lead the disciples to the competition.
Perhaps they hadn't noticed, or perhaps because all previous light cannons had been blocked, they subconsciously assumed it couldn't hit them.
With the people from the soaring heaven sect joining in, the two rabbits Shen Xinran had prepared were far from enough. However, seeing that Jin Banying liked eating them, Xie Yan went out and caught a few more back.
