hall, leaving Wufu and their servant to look at each other in the blacksmith shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Wufu was not a petty person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no one around, she simply strolled around the shop, inspecting the tools that had been produced there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to the usual daily life items like pots, pans, and knives, there were also some small daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no large swords could be seen, but rather, there was a bow and arrow hanging on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bow and arrow looked unremarkable, dark and unpolished, yet it caught Wufu’s eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a while with no sign of Lady Li coming out, Wufu could not help but take the bow and arrow down to inspect it closely in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bow was made from extremely high-quality bamboo for the bow body, split evenly into four sections with each section equidistant from the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason it looked dark and unpolished, Wufu sniffed it and a scent of charcoal and smoke entered her nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bow likely had been roasted over charcoal to finish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the bow tips, they had been smoothed and affixed with ox horn onto the bow body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu understood that this was to increase the rebound force of the bow limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried pulling it and then releasing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was full of resilience, producing a humming sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a fine bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Lady Li came out, lifting the curtain, and saw Wufu holding the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu raised the bow in her hand and asked, “Is this bow for sale?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much silver is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense, if it’s not for sale, why would we hang it here?” Lady Li said with a bad tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin’s face changed slightly, saying, “How can you speak like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are guests after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li glanced at him and said coldly, “That’s how Li’s does business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy it or get lost.” Saying this, she picked up a hammer and began pounding on a knife blade, sparks flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin was livid, having never seen anyone so arrogant in doing business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to step forward to argue, Wufu stopped him and watched Lady Li forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer, at the very least, weighed several dozen pounds, yet she swung it as if it were cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed her claim of running the shop was indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Li, I come with the intention to buy, how do you sell this bow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li did not turn around, saying, “Twenty taels of silver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an expensive price for a shabby bow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you planning to rob us?” Liu Jin jumped in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a shabby bow actually cost twenty taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shabby bow?” Lady Li finally turned her head, looking coldly at Liu Jin, saying, “This bow was designed by my husband, made with quality materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just applying the glue repetitively takes twenty times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The penetrative power of this bow is stronger than ordinary bows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lot of effort has been put into this, twenty taels is already selling it cheap to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re not buying, then get lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin clenched his fists tightly, sprayed by her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman sure had quite the temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then said, “Lady Li, may I try it out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li, seeing her sincere expression, nodded and reached into a nearby iron bucket, handing her a feathered arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu looked around, seeing no trees or the like, and Lady Li led her to the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a tall apricot tree was planted, and bound to one spot on the trunk was a thin sheet of metal with a small hole in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu blinked, looking towards Lady Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This target was requested by my husband for testing, you can try out its penetrative power,” said Lady Li in an indifferent voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu smiled and nodded, standing parallel, her body held straight, feet apart, wider than her shoulders, with a fierce and focused gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drew the bow, placed the arrow, all in one fluid motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li watched, her eyebrow raised, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A leaf fluttered down, Wufu held her breath, her eyes slightly narrowed, and suddenly her hand loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>",732,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.772Z",1,"novelbin.me","b7c6f10321da46712b05f009909c53bbee17c0ecc538958ddbe7d51a09deb2bc","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-214","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-212",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
