Chapter 111

"I really can't wait anymore, because I want to give him the best of myself. In a few hundred years, I will be past my prime."

Just as she was speaking, a retching sound suddenly came from below. As if her train of thought had been interrupted, Wang Tieshu looked down at Chen Mu with dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing, Grand Elder, please continue. This disciple just caught a cold."

"Hmph."

She didn't think much of it and continued to reminisce.

Only Chen Mu below was almost unable to hold it in. You say your fate with the Peak Master is destined by heaven and connected by red threads?

I think it’s more like iron chains, and they’re about to break.

Just as he was thinking, Wang Tieshu above had finished reminiscing and said seriously.

"So, this time I won't let him bear it alone. In the days to come, let me accompany him by his side."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

As she spoke, perhaps fearing that Chen Mu would refuse, Wang Tieshu thought for a moment and added.

"I also know that Brother Hong is your Peak Master, and it’s not good for you to deceive him like this, but this is a white lie, so.................."

He thought it would take some effort, but who would have thought that before she could finish speaking, Chen Mu said righteously.

"This disciple is willing! The affection between the Grand Elder and the Peak Master truly moves this disciple deeply. Even if I am blamed by the Peak Master, this disciple is willing to go through fire and water for the Grand Elder, just to achieve this moving and tragic love story."

She thought it would take some effort, but who would have thought that Chen Mu would agree so readily, which actually made Wang Tieshu feel unconfident.

This kid agreed so readily—could there be a trap? Could it be that he wants to trick her first and then renege later?

Thinking of this, Wang Tieshu narrowed her eyes, and her tone became cold.

"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

She had to give this kid a warning so he would understand that since she dared to set such conditions, she wasn't afraid of him going back on his word.

But who knew, to this, Chen Mu’s expression didn't change, and he said solemnly.

"With the Mistress above, how would this disciple dare to deceive the Mistress? Such a moving and heaven-shaking love story between the Mistress and the Peak Master, I believe not only this disciple, but the other brothers of Divine Sword Peak will also support it."

"Furthermore, the Mistress is forging a peerless treasure blade for my Divine Sword Peak. Such kindness, we would never dare to forget..............."

He said a whole bunch of things, but Wang Tieshu didn't hear a single word. In her mind, only the word "Mistress" kept circling.

Until Chen Mu finished speaking, Wang Tieshu looked at him shyly, nervously clutching her two thick braids, and asked coquettishly.

"You......... what did you just call me?"

"Mistress."

"Nonsense! Brother Hong and I don't even have a title yet, how can you speak so recklessly?"

"The affection between the Mistress and the Peak Master will sooner or later become one family. Anyway, in this disciple’s heart, you will always be my Mistress."

For a moment, the way Wang Tieshu looked at Chen Mu became much softer. Look, look, what a good child.

Wang Tieshu immediately stood up and said kindly to Chen Mu.

"Follow me."

Led by Wang Tieshu, the two walked all the way to an artifact-refining room deep in the cave dwelling.

Built on the core of the Earth Fire, it was the top-tier artifact-refining room in the entire Blacksmith Valley, which was of great help to artifact refining.

The temperature in the room was very high, and even with Chen Mu’s cultivation, he felt a sense of scorching heat.

"Child, take out the materials you prepared and let me see."

Listen to that, even the address had changed. Before it was "kid" this and "kid" that, now it had become "child."

It felt like an elder looking at their own junior.

But in Wang Tieshu’s eyes, wasn't Chen Mu her own junior? After she and Hong Zun were truly together, she would be the Mistress of these children.

Hearing this, Chen Mu quickly took out the treasures that the brothers had scraped together.

The quantity was not small, and the grade was not low. At least in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, they were definitely treasures, but in Wang Tieshu’s eyes, they were just so-so.

"It is indeed enough to forge a treasure weapon, but at most it will be low-grade, barely touching the threshold of a treasure weapon."

"How about this, Mistress will add some things for you."

As she spoke, Wang Tieshu took out three treasures from her own space ring. When Chen Mu saw these three treasures, his eyes went straight.

"Mother Crystal Iron."

"Nine Heavens Thunder Wood."

"Dust Pattern Gold Sand."

It is no exaggeration to say that the value of these three treasures far exceeded the pile he had taken out. Each one was an extremely precious artifact-refining treasure.

"I only have these three good things on hand now. Although they are not enough to forge a divine weapon, they should be enough to push it to the level of a high-grade treasure weapon."

"Mistress, this......... isn't this a bit too precious?"

Now it was Chen Mu’s turn to feel uneasy. These three things were just too precious, and taking them like this made him feel bad.

But to this, Wang Tieshu didn't care at all, and even seemed to have guessed Chen Mu’s thoughts, showing a kind and comforting expression.

"You called me Mistress, so Mistress naturally won't treat you badly. Where in this world is there a mother who doesn't love her own child?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded blankly.

"Then......... this disciple thanks the Mistress."

"What a good child."

Well, now the favor was huge. Looking at Wang Tieshu who had already started refining, Chen Mu sighed inwardly.

"Peak Master, in this disciple’s opinion, why don't you just give in? The Grand Elder is really a very good person, and she has money and is generous."

"Except for being a bit tall, a bit sturdy, having well-developed muscles, a square face, and a rough voice, everything else is still very good."

Because Chen Mu had no other requirements for this kitchen knife, as long as it was sharp enough, it was actually not difficult to refine.

Simply put, it only needed to push the grade to the high-grade treasure weapon level.

So in about five days, Wang Tieshu had finished forging it.

As a ninth-grade artifact refiner, with sufficient materials, forging a high-grade treasure weapon was not a big difficulty for her.

She even thoughtfully made a leather sheath for Chen Mu, made from fine tiger skin.

"Come, see if you like it?"

Smiling as she handed the blade to Chen Mu, Chen Mu naturally couldn't put it down, muttering to himself.

"Good, good, good! With this blade, I can eat dragon meat."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, this disciple is saying thank you to the Mistress for taking action."

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Tieshu’s face became even more brilliant, and she couldn't help but nod.

"Good child, one family doesn't speak two languages."

Afterward, she talked about Hong Zun. Because the Divine Sword Peak disciples were all in the coastal camp, Wang Tieshu knew about this too.

So she could only wait for a year until the Divine Sword Peak disciples returned to the sect.

Wang Tieshu didn't care about a year. After all, she had waited for thousands of years, so she didn't care about a year or two. Good food is not afraid of being late.

Seeing that when talking about Hong Zun, Wang Tieshu’s eyes were shining with brilliant light, Chen Mu could only secretly comfort himself.

Master must also like the Grand Elder.

Finally, Wang Tieshu personally saw him off, sending Chen Mu all the way to the spirit beast garden where Xiaobai was.

Only on the way, Chen Mu found that the eyes of many disciples looking at him and Wang Tieshu were always a bit strange, and he could vaguely hear words like "boy toy," "kept," and "depraved" intermittently.

It left Chen Mu completely confused.

However, because Wang Tieshu was by his side, Chen Mu couldn't care about thinking too much. The two walked into the spirit beast garden together. Just as they were talking, the scene in front of them made both of them freeze at the same time.

"Child, be careful on the way back. If you have anything, you can contact me."

"Thank you, Mistress, this disciple............"

The voice stopped abruptly. In front of them, they saw Xiaobai riding on the back of a black-crowned crane, its body moving up and down.

And that black-crowned crane was constantly letting out shrill cries.

Looking at Xiaobai, for some reason, Chen Mu thought it looked like a lecherous appearance, and it would occasionally let out strange, cackling sounds.

But that wasn't important. What was important was that the black-crowned crane being ridden by Xiaobai—if he remembered correctly, that was Wang Tieshu’s mount, right?

In front of the owner, you do this to her mount—Xiaobai, isn't this a bit too much?

Reacting first, Chen Mu pretended to be angry and roared.
