Chapter 286: The Depressed Old Man Men

The story that followed was the same as the original drama; Long Po held the Shenlong Sword and cursed at the Spirit Mirror at the top of her lungs.

Under Long Po's desperate pleas, the Spirit Mirror agreed to her wish of a life for a life, using Long Po's life to awaken Bo.

At this moment, the ignorant and confused Bo was intercepted by the sudden appearance of Long Po just as he was about to step onto the path to the Yellow Springs.

Long Po smiled at Bo and said:

"Bo, Grandma won't be able to see you take a wife and have children anymore.

This is the last thing Grandma can do for you. Take care of yourself; Grandma won't be able to look after you anymore."

Amidst a burst of lightning and thunder, Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, everything developed according to the original drama; Tong Zhan learned the truth about Bo's resurrection through the Spirit Mirror.

As for Duan Fengyun, he had already returned home at a terrifying speed and was silently waiting for Men Laotou and the others to return.

Once his Spirit Sense sensed that Men Laotou and the others had returned, he carried the Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green he had prepared long ago and arrived at the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop.

Duan Fengyun stood outside the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop, pretending that he had knocked on the door for a long time without a response, and was now preparing to head home, looking dejected.

Men Laotou, who had returned with the black wood, saw Duan Fengyun walking back from his own Sword Casting Workshop and asked suspiciously:

"Boss Qin, what are you doing here?"

Duan Fengyun replied:

"I finished dinner and had nothing to do, so I came to find you, Master Men, to have a drink and chat.

Look, I've even prepared the wine!"

Duan Fengyun brought out two jars of Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green and waved them in front of Men Laotou.

Subsequently, Duan Fengyun pretended to have discovered a new continent and exclaimed in surprise:

"Master Men, what is that black thing you have there?

How is it that I can feel such a monstrous aura from this piece of black wood?"

Men Laotou thought for a moment and felt that there was no harm in telling Duan Fengyun about this Zhurong Divine Wood, so he spoke up:

"Boss Qin, I won't hide it from you; this black wood is the legendary Zhurong Divine Wood.

This divine wood was discovered by Jianqiu under Hell Valley, and to avoid any complications, the three of us brought it back overnight.

We are preparing to use this Zhurong Divine Wood to forge my ancestral divine iron and create an peerless divine weapon."

After hearing this, Duan Fengyun pretended to be shocked on the surface and said:

"I never expected that Jianqiu would not only save the people of Yujian Villa under Hell Valley but also find a divine object like the Zhurong Divine Wood.

Truly, good people are rewarded.

Master Men, it is said that when a divine weapon is born, it is always accompanied by strange phenomena.

I have never witnessed the forging of a divine weapon in my entire life; I wonder if I might stay at the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop to watch.

If Master Men needs to keep this a secret, just say the word, and I shall leave."

Men Laotou laughed:

"Boss Qin, you are joking.

I was already planning to have you come to watch the sword, Boss Qin. Once this divine weapon appears in the world, I will definitely let you test the sword first, Boss Qin."

Men Laotou's initial plan was to have Dazhu go to Duan Fengyun's house to call him over; after all, only by seeing the birth of this sword would Duan Fengyun know its extraordinary nature.

Only then could this sword be sold for a good price to Duan Fengyun.

Therefore, even if Duan Fengyun hadn't come, Men Laotou would have sent someone to call him.

However, Duan Fengyun's uninvited arrival made Men Laotou very happy.

Because every time Duan Fengyun came, he would bring him two jars of Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green, which made him look forward to Duan Fengyun visiting every time.

Without further ado, to avoid any complications, Men Laotou took down the black wood and ushered Duan Fengyun into the Sword Furnace.

Men Jianqiu and Dazhu were skillfully pulling the furnace bellows, preparing to get the fire burning at its hottest.

Meanwhile, Men Laotou went to his room to retrieve the Millennium Cold Iron. For Men Laotou, tonight was the day he would become a master sword smith and make a name for himself, so he was exceptionally full of spirit and motivation.

Duan Fengyun silently watched the black wood and chuckled to himself:

"Wait until you throw this piece of black wood into the fire and release Yin Zhong; let's see if you can still be happy then."

At this moment, Duan Fengyun suddenly realized a problem:

"Yin Zhong is Yueya's father, my father-in-law.

Jianqiu is Yueya's stepmother, and Men Laotou is Jianqiu's father; wouldn't that make Men Laotou of the same generation as my grandfather?"

Duan Fengyun shook his head; everyone should just stick to their own relations. Calling Yin Zhong 'father' and Men Laotou 'grandfather'—he would never do that even if it killed him.

Duan Fengyun only hoped now that Yueya would not recall the past, so he wouldn't fall into an awkward situation of acknowledging relatives.

Thanks to the efforts of Men Jianqiu and Dazhu, the furnace fire was now burning fiercely, and Men Laotou had finally returned with the Millennium Cold Iron.

The last time Men Laotou took out the Millennium Cold Iron, he had hidden it in a different place just in case, so it took a little longer this time.

Looking at the raging fire, Men Laotou excitedly threw the Millennium Cold Iron into the furnace.

Then, he picked up the black wood from the ground and tossed it into the Sword Casting Furnace as well.

Watching the furnace fire become even more ferocious due to the addition of the black wood, Men Laotou laughed heartily; he could already see himself holding the divine weapon.

Men Laotou said:

"Both the Zhurong Divine Wood and the Millennium Cold Iron are extremely difficult to melt. Boss Qin, we can go out and have a few drinks first while they burn in the fire.

Once the Zhurong Divine Wood ignites, the Millennium Cold Iron will be able to melt, and then this old man will go and forge it."

Since Men Laotou had spoken, how could Duan Fengyun not comply?

Men Laotou set up a table outside the Sword Casting Furnace, prepared some spiced beef and peanuts, and the four of them drank while waiting for the changes in the furnace.

Duan Fengyun, Men Laotou, and Dazhu were drinking happily, while Men Jianqiu would glance at the Sword Casting Furnace from time to time.

Men Laotou raised his wine cup, his face flushed red as he said:

"Jianqiu, no need to stare at the Sword Furnace; it won't grow legs and run out."

When Duan Fengyun heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Won't grow legs and run out?

Then when you see the Zhurong Divine Wood you've been looking forward to for so long turn into a naked man in a moment, let's see if you can still be so calm.

And Heaven seemed to disagree with Men Laotou's words, as lightning and thunder flashed continuously in the sky.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck directly into Men Laotou's Sword Furnace.

Because of this bolt of lightning, all the weapons inside the Sword Furnace fell to the ground, and the room where the Sword Furnace was located collapsed with a boom.

Men Laotou, who had been holding a wine cup with a smile on his face, instantly let his face fall and roared:

"What are you still standing there for!

Hurry and go see how the Zhurong Divine Wood and Millennium Cold Iron are doing!"

Duan Fengyun charged up first, and Men Jianqiu followed closely behind.

After the two of them threw the collapsed door pillars aside, they walked into the Sword Furnace.

At this moment, the fire inside the Sword Furnace had long since extinguished, the Millennium Cold Iron remained in its original state, but the Zhurong Divine Wood had already disappeared.

Men Laotou rushed in and, looking at the vanished Zhurong Divine Wood, stumbled and said:

"Why couldn't even the Zhurong Divine Wood melt this piece of Millennium Cold Iron? Why is it like this!"

Meanwhile, Duan Fengyun's attention was entirely focused on a mound of dirt beside the Sword Furnace.

In this mound of dirt, Duan Fengyun sensed a powerful heart reviving.

With a clatter, a completely naked man stood up from the mound of dirt.

The man was none other than the reborn Demon God Yin Zhong; having gained Tong Bo's kindness, he should now be called Shan Yin Zhong.

After being forged by the Zhurong Fire, Yin Zhong had become a true Undying Demon God, so he now appeared in a rejuvenated state.

"Ah!"

Seeing the completely naked Yin Zhong, Men Jianqiu let out a loud scream.

"Ah, who are you!"

Men Laotou and Dazhu were also given a big fright by the suddenly appearing Yin Zhong.

To prevent his father-in-law from being exposed, Duan Fengyun took off his own coat and covered Yin Zhong's private parts!

After Yin Zhong smiled at the crowd, he fainted.

Seeing the fainted Yin Zhong, Men Laotou said with a depressed face:

"What bad luck.

Jianqiu, you saved a dead man during the day, and now an exhibitionist has come at night.

Has my Men family's Sword Furnace been cursed by someone?

Hurry and carry this guy out; if he dies in my Sword Casting Workshop later, who can I go to for justice."

Men Jianqiu, however, disagreed:

"Father, he is different from the person during the day. Look, he still has breath, and his heartbeat is extremely strong, which shows he is normal.

We cannot stand by and watch him die.

If you won't save him, then your daughter will!"

Men Jianqiu, without further ado, stepped forward to help Yin Zhong into the room.

But how could Men Jianqiu alone lift Yin Zhong, whose muscles were as if made of refined steel?

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Master Men, Jianqiu is right; saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

This man clearly isn't a bad person at first glance, so you should save him first.

If anyone comes looking for trouble, I will help you handle it."

"But...

But...

Sigh, since you, Boss, have said so, it wouldn't be very moral for this old man to stand by and watch him die.

Fine, fine, this old man will save him; once he wakes up, just make him leave quickly."

Duan Fengyun thought to himself:

"Leave?

When the time comes, you'll know what it means when it's easy to invite a god but hard to send one away.

Not only will you have to save him, but you'll also lose your precious daughter."

With the four of them working together, Yin Zhong was successfully carried back to the guest room.

At this moment, Men Jianqiu's face was flushed red, and her heart was pounding like a deer.

When she had just touched Yin Zhong's body, it felt like an electric shock; she had never had this feeling before.

She didn't know this was what they called love at first sight, thinking only that it was her admiration for Yin Zhong's steel-like body.

Looking at the flushed Men Jianqiu, Men Laotou asked:

"Daughter, what's wrong with you?

Are you feeling unwell somewhere!"

Men Jianqiu shook her head and said:

"Nothing, Father.

It might just be because the Sword Furnace was too stuffy earlier.

I'll be fine once I get some air."

After seeing Yin Zhong reappear in the Human Realm, it was time for Duan Fengyun to go home.

"Master Men, I will be heading back first; if there is anything, just come to my house to find me.

I am leaving now."

Duan Fengyun strode away just like that, while Men Laotou still did not know what a hot potato Duan Fengyun had left him.
