643 Refining a Dagger

Hua Zhaimei got depressed and angry, not knowing what to say. Instead, he went to Ye Jiushang. “Jiushang, you have to give me an explanation for this. Control your woman. She’s really… too unlikeable.”

“As long as I like her, there’s no need for others to like her. You’re infatuated with flowers. Actually, it’s quite appropriate to call you Fanboy Hua.” Ye Jiushang, this crazy wife-protecting demon, would naturally side with his wife.

“The two of you have joined hands to bully me. Even if I can’t afford to offend you, I can still hide. I’m off. I have something to do. Be careful. They seem to suspect that you’re still alive, so they might send people out to investigate.” Hua Zhaimei took all the roasted fish from the plate and turned to leave. As he walked, he actually disappeared.

Xue Fanxin rubbed her eyes hard to make sure that she was not seeing things. The person had really disappeared while walking.

“Ah Jiu, where did he go?”

“He left,” Ye Jiushang said indifferently. Clearly, he did not have much of a reaction to Hua Zhaimei’s departure nor was he surprised by the way he left.

“I don’t know much about your world, but one day, I will.” Xue Fanxin vaguely understood some things, but she was not very clear. She did not pester Ye Jiushang to get to the bottom of it.

There were some things that she might not know yet. If she forced herself to comprehend them, it would not do her any good.

When the time came, Ah Jiu would naturally tell her everything. She had absolute trust in him.

Ah Jiu might be hiding something from her, but he would never lie.

“My little consort is so mature.” Ye Jiushang habitually stroked her head.

If Xin’er had asked him, he would have told her, but it might not be a good thing. At the very least, it would not do Xin’er any good. Instead, it would restrict her heart and affect her cultivation path.

“Alright, alright! We’ll talk about this in the future. You brought me out to play today. First, we went to the Purple Cloud Tower, then we toured the mountaintop, then came to the Peach Blossom Villa to eat fish. What’s next?” Xue Fanxin asked expectantly.

“Next, I’ll help you get something. Take out the scales of those Electric Water Eels. Back then, I agreed to help you refine a dagger.”

“Sure, sure!”

If Ah Jiu had not mentioned it, she would have forgotten about the dagger.

Xue Fanxin did not hesitate to take out the scales. The pile was like a small hill.

She really could not understand. Were so many scales only enough for one dagger?

Just as Xue Fanxin was feeling puzzled, she saw Ye Jiushang set fire to the pile. A purple fire burned all the fish scales to ashes, refining a liquid substance. It was as if it had been burned into liquid platinum and crystal. A white light shone.

The pile of fish scales was reduced to half a bowl of liquid. It was only enough to refine a dagger.

Xue Fanxin finally understood why so many fish scales could only be refined into one dagger. Ah Jiu only used the essence of the fish scales. A single fish scale could probably only give less than a drop of liquid crystal.

According to Gu Jinyuan, this fish scale was more valuable than black iron. One fish scale was worth 50 million spirit coins.

This dagger was refined from so many fish scales. Its value was simply immeasurable… Refining artifacts indeed burned money.
