“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded helplessly. Then the two of them turned their gazes to Old Zao, who was refining artifacts.

At this moment, the equipment refinement was nearing the end. But Old Zao became nervous instead. His eyes widened as he stared at the furnace unblinkingly…

Leng Ruoxue and Freak were also staring at the furnace because the liquid inside was in the stage of shaping. They were very curious about what equipment Old Zao wanted to refine.

When the liquid in the furnace slowly took shape, the equipment Old Zao refined finally revealed its true appearance. It was actually a female necklace in the shape of a heart. In the middle of the necklace was a very beautiful, dazzling ruby.

After the final tempering and quenching, Old Zao finally took the necklace out…

“Lass, how is it? Pretty, isn’t it?” Old Zao looked at the necklace in his hand with a happy expression on his old face. Oh… My dream has finally come true.

“Yes, but what is the function of this necklace?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“Guess!” Old Zao’s face was full of mystery.

“Defense?” Leng Ruoxue guessed. She didn’t expect Old Zao to keep her in suspense.

“Nope.”

“Attack?” Leng Ruoxue guessed again.

“Nope.”

“I can’t guess it,” Leng Ruoxue said very uncooperatively.

“Haha, I knew you wouldn’t be able to guess it. Let me tell you, this necklace combines attack and defense. Moreover, it has the function of invisibility. How is it? Amazing, right?” Old Zao said proudly.

“Yes, the invisibility function is good,” Leng Ruoxue praised.

“Also, do you see this hole? There are hidden weapons inside. I was inspired by that ugly rod!” Old Zao pointed at an inconspicuous little hole below the pendant proudly. His equipment was also a sacred artifact, and it was much more beautiful than that lousy rod.

“Not bad!” Leng Ruoxue praised. Old Zao is pretty talented in artificing.

“So, who do you intend to give the necklace to?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“No one. I want to use it myself,” Old Zao said.

“Uh! Use it yourself? You can’t use the necklace yourself, right?” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful face was full of question marks. She thought she heard wrongly!

“Men can also wear necklaces,” Old Zao said nonchalantly. Alas! The person he wanted to give it to was no longer in this world, so he could only use it himself. Boohoo…

“Uh, use it yourself then!” Leng Ruoxue was a little speechless.

“Hehe, right, Lass, what did you go out for just now?” Old Zao asked curiously.

“Someone from the city lord’s mansion came. I went out to take a look,” Leng Ruoxue explained.

“Oh, is everything alright?” Old Zao asked worriedly.

“Nothing much at the moment. Everyone in the city lord’s mansion thinks that Zhu Mudan is chasing after a man.” Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly.

“Haha, seems like it isn’t the first time Miss Zhu has done that!” Old Zao couldn’t help laughing hysterically.

“Old Zao, let’s go out since you’re finished refining!” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Alright, let’s go! Hehe, I want to show off in front of those old fellows,” Old Zao said smugly.

“Tch, what’s there to show off about?” Freak said full of contempt.

“You don’t understand!” Old Zao said happily.

After exiting Old Zao’s artificing workshop, Leng Ruoxue and Freak returned to the purple bamboo house, while Old Zao went to Leng Qingtian and the others to show off his latest achievement.

“Xue’er, there is no third wheel now.” Freak immediately pulled Leng Ruoxue into his arms as soon as they entered the purple bamboo house. His goal was obvious.

“There’s people outside!” Leng Ruoxue said deliberately.

“Boohoo… Xue’er, how can you play dirty? They won’t barge in,” Freak pouted with dissatisfaction.

“But Ball Ball will barge in!” Leng Ruoxue said with a cunning smile.

“I’ll lock the door and won’t let him in,” Freak said through gritted teeth. This wasn’t the first time that nasty little thing had messed with his plans.

“Haha!” Looking at the depressed Freak, Leng Ruoxue was in a good mood. She directly pushed this unbelievably beautiful man onto the bed and threw herself onto him. Uh, why am I becoming more and more of a pervert? I keep wanting to push Freak down. Uh! I have to change this habit…

“Xue’er, come on! I’ll let you do whatever you want,” Freak said expectantly as he lay on the bed without resistance.

“You… can’t be like this. You have to resist no matter what! That way… I will have a sense of accomplishment so that I can use force!” Leng Ruoxue said with some dissatisfaction. Hehe, I want to bully him properly while looking at his cute appearance. Boohoo… I’ve actually learned bad things…

“But I can’t wait to be bullied by you. Why should I resist?” Freak said aggrievedly, tears flashing in his bright black eyes.

“But…”

“Xue’er, hurry up!” Freak urged impatiently.

“Freak, be more reserved!” Leng Ruoxue suggested.

“I don’t want to be more reserved!” Freak refused and directly brought his lips to Leng Ruoxue’s lips. Alas! Xue’er hasn’t moved for a long time, so I can only rely on myself. As the saying went, only by doing it himself could he have ample food and clothing!

After a long time…

“Uh, Freak, stop. I can’t breathe,” Leng Ruoxue quickly said after a long kiss.

“That’s good. I’ll give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.” Freak smiled seductively and kissed Leng Ruoxue’s tender pink lips again.

“Hey, is Big Sister giving Big Brother mouth-to-mouth resuscitation again?” A simple and curious voice sounded in their ears just as they were kissing

Embarrassed, Leng Ruoxue sat up from Freak in a somewhat disheveled manner. She looked at the fluffy little thing in front of her and smiled helplessly. Alas! I was right. Ball Ball barged in again…
