The moon was high in the sky, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles. The quiet moonlight plated everything under the night sky with a faint silver color. The wind blew gently in the air, bringing with it even more coldness. The lit candles lit up the surroundings of the stone table. The candlelight flickered in the wind, making Yun Xichen's serious face look somewhat strange.
A steel bar was placed in front of Yun Xichen. It vaguely had the shape of a sword, but it was still quite rough and looked rather dim in the night.
Yun Xichen sipped the wine to warm himself up and calm down. Yun Xichen only took a small sip at a time and played with the wine glass in his hand. With his demonic power, the wine in the glass was always warm.
This was his first time forging a sword.
The tempering step depended entirely on the blacksmith's grasp of the temperature and time. If there was the slightest mistake, all the previous efforts would be wasted. That was impossible. This was the reason why most swordsmiths chose to quench the metal in the dead of the night, and it was also the reason why Yun Xichen stayed up late.
Yun Xichen didn't go to Rong Rong to treat his injuries, lest Yaya found out. If she knew, Yun Xichen was sure that it would be a lively night.
Anyway, his injuries were almost healed, so it didn't matter.
As time went by, the nervousness, excitement, twitching, anticipation, and a series of other emotions slowly calmed down as Yun Xichen adjusted his emotions. His expression became calm and normal, and his breathing became longer and longer.
Yun Xichen looked up at the moon when she felt that it was time. A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but she instantly calmed down. Yun Xichen put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the steel bar, and strode into the forging room.
When the fire was raised, the cold air in the forging room slowly dissipated as the temperature rose. When the fire turned from dark red to dark red, Yun Xichen used the iron pliers to put the sword embryo into the furnace and watched the sword embryo change under the fire.
After some time, Yun Xichen's face suddenly tensed up. In the next moment, he quickly took out the red-hot sword embryo with a pair of iron pincers and immersed it in the cold spring water.
White mist rose from the bucket in an instant, and the sword that had cooled down instantly made a sharp sound. Yun Xichen patted his head, and his tense expression relaxed. He let out a long breath, as if all the air in his lungs had been exhaled.
Success!
The sudden cooling after the high temperature would make the sword extremely hard, but it would also make it weak.
This was the reason why it was easy to break if it was too hard.
Therefore, after quenching, there was an indispensable process, tempering.
Yun Xichen calmed himself down, took out the sword embryo, and wiped it dry. He controlled the fire in the furnace to maintain a lower temperature and put the sword embryo into the furnace again.
……
The forging of the sword was nearing its end. There was only one last step left, grinding.
After Yun Xichen locked himself in the forging room for more than 20 days, the blade on the table had changed from its original rough and dull state to a smooth and smooth one. The ridge and groove lines were all straight and standard, but it had not been sharpened yet.
Walking out of the forging room, Yun Xichen squinted his eyes in discomfort.
The weather was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and warmth enveloped the land. It was a rare good day.
Yun Xichen stretched his back and rubbed his sore neck. He walked into the room. He had been exhausted for the past few days and needed a good rest.
Yun Xichen had only closed her eyes for a second on the bed when a heavy object suddenly hit her stomach.
"Who is it?" Yun Xichen knocked the heavy object off her stomach and got up to open her eyes. She asked a little angrily," Can't you see that I'm sleeping?”
Anyone who was disturbed from their sleep would be in a bad mood.
Yun Xichen's blurry vision became clear and he saw Yaya in a red and white robe standing at the door of his room. She lifted her chin valiantly." Hey, big bastard, what are you planning to do today?"”
"What else can I do? Sleep!" Yun Xichen replied in a bad mood. Feeling sleepy, she fell back onto the bed and continued to sleep.
"Hehehe."
Yaya smiled sinisterly. She conjured a spell with her small hand and a piece of ice appeared in front of her. She took the piece of ice and walked to Yun Xichen's bed. Yaya suddenly lifted Yun Xichen's blanket and quickly stuffed the ice into it. She picked up the wine pot and turned to run!
Yun Xichen, who had been awakened by the ice, jumped up from the bed. Seeing Yaya's back flash past the door, he was furious." Tushan Yaya!”
The ice cube shattered in Yun Xichen's hands. He picked up his clothes and put them on before chasing after her. He wanted to teach this mischievous little girl a lesson!
The residents of Mud Mountain saw this scene. Yaya ran quickly in front, occasionally turning back to make all kinds of funny faces at Yun Xichen who was chasing after her. Yun Xichen was furious and yelled at Yaya.
They could not help but wonder what Yaya had done to make Yun Xichen so angry.
In the end, Yaya was blocked by Yun Xichen in an alley. Yun Xichen's face was dark as he slowly walked towards Yaya, who was leaning against the wall with a nonchalant expression.
"Big bastard, I'm warning you, don't come over. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson!”Yaya warned Yun Xichen, who was getting closer and closer. No matter how she listened, she did not sound confident.
"Oh." Yun Xichen responded in a low voice. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she said gently," So, Miss Yaya, are you ready to be punished?”
Yaya was frightened by Yun Xichen's smile. Her intuition told her that this matter was serious. Swallowing her saliva, Yaya asked," What do you want to do to me?”
"Of course I'm going to teach you a lesson." Yun Xichen clenched his fists in front of his chest, and his knuckles cracked.
Yaya pulled the jug of wine on her back forward and was about to give it a try, but before she could raise the jug of wine, her hands and feet suddenly felt empty.
Everything happened too fast. Yaya blinked, not understanding what had happened.
"Admit it, Miss Yaya. You have great potential, but it is useless in front of strength.”Yun Xichen shook Yaya up and down and saw her face flush red as she struggled.
"Let go of me, you big bastard!”
"Haha." Yun Xichen ignored Yaya and smiled gently. She jumped onto the wall and ran towards Red Line House.
Yaya's loud shouts attracted the attention of countless Mud Mountain residents, but she didn't notice it at all. Instead, her voice grew louder.
"Big bastard, I'm warning you. Put me down immediately, or you'll die!”
"Believe it or not, I'll tell my sister and let her deal with you!”
"Hey, did you hear that? Hey!”
The response to Yaya was still these two simple syllables.”
Apart from being annoyed that she was caught so easily, Yaya began to regret provoking Yun Xichen today. She did not understand why Yun Xichen was so angry today.
Yun Xichen jumped onto the roof of the Red Fairy Restaurant and looked around. She found a better spot." Found it."”
Hearing Yun Xichen's words, Yaya was about to ask what she had found when she suddenly flew up into the air. Her collar was hanging on something.
Yaya's mind went blank at first, but then she realized that Yun Xichen had hung her on the roof of Red Line House!
When she realized that there were so many fox demons watching her and her companions whispering to each other, Yaya felt that she had lost all her face.
"Big bastard, I hate you to death!" Yaya's aggrieved voice came from the gaps between her fingers that were covering her face. When she did not hear a response, Yaya put down her hand and turned her head with all her might. Yun Xichen was nowhere to be seen behind her.
" You bastard!" Yaya's furious roar spread throughout Tushan City. Remember this!"
As she walked, she took a few sips from the endless wine jug. Yun Xichen heard Yaya's angry roar and smacked her lips. She shook her head and muttered to herself," It's a waste to give such a good wine jug to that little girl Yaya. Why does a little girl drink wine? Isn't it good to eat some snacks and sweets from Yao Xin Zhai?" Really."
