Chapter 62 Wen Yu'er

  "Jade, may I address you as such?"

  Looking at Xiao Zhan's handsome face, facing his gentle smile, Wen Yuer's heart was racing like a deer, the reaction from her blood vessels made her body hot and swollen, her chest heaving violently, her beautiful face even more crimson. This intense reaction made Wen Yuer both ashamed and flustered, becoming clumsy with her hands and feet.

  Heavens! How could this be?

  Is this really the legendary love at first sight!？

  As a member of the warrior clan, Wen Yuer was not unfamiliar with this reaction. It was the reaction when a woman met her heart's desire. However, she had only heard others mention it before and had never truly experienced it herself. Facing Xiao Zhan's gentle gaze, Wen Yuer felt both shy and annoyed. She thought her behavior was too clumsy and wondered if he would think she was infatuated.

  "Oh dear! Alright then."

  As soon as the words left her mouth, Wen Yuer's pretty face turned bright red, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Zhan staring at her with a fiery gaze that made her feel ashamed and flustered. In an instant, Wen Yuer let out a soft "ah" and, with a shy and evasive glance, said in a bashful tone: "The young lady is still waiting for me to return and report back, so I'll take my leave first."

  He finished speaking and rushed out without looking back, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  The little beauty had just shown a shy and emotional look, but in the blink of an eye she was gone. Xiao Zhan, who was still confident and wanted to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. At this time, a young man who had been silent beside him suddenly spoke up: "I am Yan Rui, I have met Young Master Xiao."

  Xiao Zhan felt inexplicably resentful in his heart. Judging from Wen Yuer's expression, on the premise of love at first sight, as long as he added fuel to the fire, he could quickly get her under control and then take this brilliant battle result to Tianfu to show off to his sister. But now the little beauty had run away, with her easily shy personality, she must have been embarrassed by the presence of this man, which made her lose face.

  Unconsciously, Xiao Zhan transferred all his resentment towards the little beauty who had left to this young man named Yan Rui. However, Yan Rui welcomed him with a smile, and Xiao Zhan didn't want to be rude, so he forced himself to say: "What can I do for you, brother?"

  Yan Ruiwei smiled slightly and said: "Is Young Master Xiao here to buy jewelry?"

  Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow and said, "That's right."

  Yan Rui smiled confidently and said, "If there's something that catches your eye, I'll have it sent to you as a gift."

  Xiao Zhan was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Is this Cuilou opened by your family?"

  Tianlu smiled and said, "Ah Zhan, he is the young master of Cuilou, a thoroughbred rich man. Since he is so generous, we don't need to be polite with him."

  Yan Rui smiled slightly and said, "Tiangong is still so fond of joking, our Cuilou can't compare to the Tian family with their heavenly devil bloodline, even if we had a hundred or a thousand times more wealth. Young master should also be from a martial clan, but why have I never seen you before?"

  Tianlu's small mouth curled up, and she said proudly: "Ah Zhan is from the War God lineage, and he rarely comes to Jue Xian City. Of course, you haven't seen him before."

  Yan Rui heard the words and was shocked, exclaiming: "War God's lineage?!" He immediately bowed deeply and said: "I'm guilty, I didn't expect it to be Young Master Xiao's esteemed presence. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar and for any sluggishness. Please forgive me."

  Xiao Zhan was taken aback, unclear about the situation, and shook his head saying: "Where did you get that from? I'm just taking a casual look too. By the way, how did you know I'm Young Master Xiao?"

  Yan Rui Gong said, "And I heard from a friend in the Qin Manor that for nearly ten thousand years, the War God's lineage only had female descendants until eight years ago when a male descendant appeared. It is said that any male with the War God's bloodline will automatically become the young master of the Qin family. Since Xiao Gongzi has the War God's bloodline, he must be the long-awaited young master of the Qin family without a doubt. I hope Young Master Xiao will take care of our humble abode from now on."

  Looking at his respectful appearance, Xiao Zhan's heart moved slightly, and he spoke out: "Young Master Yan, I want to refine a piece of jewelry, can your esteemed tower accomplish this?"

  Yan Rui heard this and smiled proudly: "What's difficult about that? Sir, just state your requirements, and our humble abode will have the best craftsmen create it, and then personally deliver it to your esteemed residence."

  Xiao Zhan shook his head and smiled: "My intention is for you to provide the materials, and I'll be the one to forge them."

  Yan Rui was taken aback for a moment, furrowed his brow and said: "Young master, don't you trust me? Let me tell you, the skills of Cuilou are the best in Jue Xian City."

  "Few words, Mr. Dong misunderstood, I mean by myself to refine."

  Xuan Rui said in surprise: "Will Xiao Shou Zhu make jewelry?"

  Xiao Zhan didn't respond to his suspicious gaze, but instead smiled and asked: "Shen Shao, what do you think?"

  Xian Rui furrowed her brow for a moment before saying, "Xiao Shou Zhu, please write down the materials you need. I will immediately instruct someone to prepare them."

  He ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and handed them over to Xiao Zhan.

  Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, then listed out the materials needed for the two magic accessories and handed them over to Yan Rui.

  Looking at the list provided by Xiao Zhan, Yan Rui's face was extremely strange. After a while, he asked with a puzzled expression: "Xiao Shou's materials are indeed unusual, I don't know why you need to use fresh Ling beast blood, what does this have to do with making accessories?"

  Tianluo's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she asked curiously: "Ah Zhan, you really know how to make accessories? You should know that this is a technical skill, without the corresponding manual skills, it can't be done at all."

  Xiao Zhan smiled mysteriously and said, "Who says you need to use your hands? My refining method is very special and doesn't require the use of hands at all."

  What else can be used if not hands?

  Yan Rui and Tian Lu exchanged a curious glance. After some thought, Yan Rui spoke up: "The other materials are easy to handle, but the fresh Ling Beast blood is quite troublesome. Perhaps Young Master Xiao will need to wait for about an hour or so. Why don't you two take a short rest in our humble abode for now?"

  Xiao Zhan hadn't spoken yet, when Tian Lu grabbed his arm and waved at Yan Rui, saying: "Oh! You just go ahead with your business, I'll take Ah Zhan to your Cuilou for a casual stroll, see if there's anything good."

  As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Xuan Rui to respond, she pulled Xiao Zhan and rushed out towards the second floor.

  ※※※

  Standing at the corner of the street, she turned her head to look towards Cuilou. Wen Yuer's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she tapped her jade foot. She secretly thought: "Oh dear! Being able to meet a man who falls in love at first sight is a rare occurrence, why did I have to run away? If I miss this chance, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Immediately after, she smiled with her eyes shining brightly and said: "He seems to be Miss's junior fellow student, so we will definitely meet again. Next time, I must take the initiative."

  She clenched her fists, gave herself a boost of confidence, and suddenly turned around, ready to go back and report.

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, Wen Yuer cried out in surprise and bumped into someone. "Clang!" A crisp sound, a wine jar fell to the ground, shattered, and the mellow fine wine splashed everywhere, wetting a large piece of Wen Yuer's green skirt.

  "Oh, ah... sorry, I didn't see you there."

  Wen Yu'er was taken aback, hastily apologized, and saw a stunning beauty in a snow-white dress. Seeing the other person staring at her, and then glancing at the broken wine jug on the ground, Wen Yu'er said timidly: "Sister, I'll buy you another jug of wine."

  A stunning beauty with raven-black hair coiled atop her head, styled in an elegant chignon, she had slender eyebrows and eyes like a phoenix, a face so beautiful it took one's breath away. Upon seeing Wen Yu'er's timid appearance, a flicker of unusual color flashed across the beauty's phoenix-like eyes, but quickly vanished. In an instant, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and on her exquisite jade-like countenance, a warm smile blossomed.

  "Little girl, how careless are you? Did you get hurt just now?"

  "No... nothing." Wen Yuer lowered her head in embarrassment.

  The stunning beauty carefully examined Wen Yu'er from head to toe, and the smile on her face became increasingly gentle.

  "Alas, your skirt is all wet! Let's go! Follow sister to change into a new set of clothes. Consider it as sister's apology gift to you."

  She raised her head to meet the concerned gaze of the beautiful woman, and in an instant, Wen Yu'er thought of her mother from childhood. She suddenly felt a sweetness in her heart, and hastily shook her head, saying: "How can you blame sister? It's all my fault."

  "Hehe, silly girl, if sister says she'll compensate you, then she definitely will."

  As soon as she finished speaking, a warm smile bloomed on the face of the beautiful woman. At that moment, Wen Yu'er felt her heart being enveloped by a warm current, and she only felt that the beautiful woman in front of her was like her own family member, making her feel a long-lost motherly love since she had lost her parents at a young age.

  In a daze, Wen Yu'er was pulled by the stunning beauty, walking in the direction away from Tianfu.
