Chapter 204: Xiaobai, What Are You Doing?

He thought he would have to spend some words, but who would have thought that this Chen Mu would agree so readily, which instead made Wang Tieshu lose confidence.

This kid agreed so readily; could there be a trap? Could it be that he wants to deceive 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 later.

But who knew, to this, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged, and he said solemnly.

"Mistress is above, how would this disciple dare to deceive Mistress? I believe that not only this disciple, but other senior and junior brothers of Divine Jianfeng will definitely support such a song of sorrow and joy, a love that moves heaven and earth between Mistress and the Peak Master."

"What's more, Mistress is forging a peerless treasure blade for my Divine Jianfeng; we would never dare to forget such kindness..."

He said a whole lot, but Wang Tieshu didn't hear a single word; only the two words "Mistress" kept circling in her mind.

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

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

"Mistress."

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

"The affection between 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 time, the look Wang Tieshu gave Chen Mu became much softer. Look, look, what a good child.

Wang Tieshu immediately got 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 wave of heat.

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

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

It felt like an elder looking at their own junior.

However, 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 hurriedly took out the treasures that the senior and junior 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."

"Let's do this: Mistress will add some things for you."

As she spoke, Wang Tieshu took out three treasures from her own space ring. When he saw these three treasures, Chen Mu's 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 an upper-grade treasure weapon."

"Mistress, this... wouldn't this be too precious?"

This time it was Chen Mu's turn to have no bottom in his heart. These three things were too precious, and he felt bad taking them just like that.

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 look.

"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 Mistress."

"What a good child."

This is great; the favor is owed big time. Looking at Wang Tieshu who had already started refining, Chen Mu sighed secretly in his heart.

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

"Except for being a bit tall, a bit strong, having 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.

To put it plainly, he just needed to push the grade to the upper-grade treasure weapon level.

So in about five days, Wang Tieshu had already forged it.

As a ninth-grade artifact refiner, with sufficient materials, forging an upper-grade treasure weapon was not too difficult for her.

She even thoughtfully made a leather sheath for Chen Mu, made from high-quality tiger skin.

"Come, see if you like it?"

Smiling, she handed the blade to Chen Mu. Chen Mu was naturally unable to put it down, and he even muttered 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 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."

Later, she talked about Hong Zun again, because the Divine Jianfeng disciples were all in the coastal camp, and Wang Tieshu knew about this.

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

Wang Tieshu didn't care about the one-year time; after all, she had waited for thousands of years, so she didn't care about a year or two. Good food is worth waiting for.

Seeing that when Hong Zun was mentioned, Wang Tieshu's eyes were shining with brilliant light, Chen Mu could only comfort himself secretly.

Master must also like the Great Elder, right?

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

It's just that along the way, Chen Mu found that the eyes of many disciples looking at him and Wang Tieshu were always a bit strange, and he vaguely heard intermittent words like "boy toy," "kept," and "depraved."

This left Chen Mu completely confused.

However, because Wang Tieshu was by his side, Chen Mu didn't have time to think too much. The two walked into the spirit beast garden together, and just as they were talking, the scene that appeared before them directly stunned both of them.

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

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

The voice stopped abruptly. Before their eyes, they saw Xiaobai riding on the back of a black-crowned crane, its body moving back and forth.

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

Looking at Xiaobai, for some reason, Chen Mu thought it looked obscene, and it would occasionally let out strange, cackling cries.

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

Doing this to someone's mount in front of the owner—Xiaobai, isn't this a bit too much?

Reacting first, Chen Mu pretended to be angry and roared. ===== CHAPTER 205 =====
