What is going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Hongzhuang stared at the tissue spinning at Shen Siyuan’s fingertip, her entire worldview shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the traditional folk dance, the silk scarf must be thick to spin properly, but this disposable napkin is lightweight—technically, it shouldn’t be able to spin at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you, I’m a magician.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Siyuan forcibly grabbed her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what drew her here—normally, she only wandered near the inn, rarely venturing more than ten li from her lodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have countless things he wanted to say, to ask, but every word stuck in his throat, unable to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the cave’s temperature was too high, he and his horse lay on the grass outside, and since the mountain forest was full of mosquitoes, he gathered herbs like mint and placed them beside him; the insects fled in fear, and they slept peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present at the auction was no fool, and many were well-traveled and experienced. Once they clearly saw the demon core, each began calculating its value and whether they could obtain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, I’ll do it myself. You owe me more than this.” Chu Chen wouldn’t fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, then it’s settled. But I warn you—if not for your help, he wouldn’t even be able to activate this defense array,” the Ragged Immortal Emperor chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t Chu Chen’s match now, and once outside, a powerless nobody like him would be completely at Chu Chen’s mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high heat helped the first batch of pottery fired successfully; soon after, the second and third batches emerged fresh. Yun Qi, besides instructing them how to make it, spent her free time climbing the mountains to find salt. The females knew what Yun Qi was seeking, so they Anxin  focused on their own tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Person-Weaving Charm protected Jiang Li; her weight was light, and Ying Bu and Qi Ye each wrapped vines around stones, pulling the other ends.
