Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Back to Zheng-Fu again…

After Zheng-Fu controlled the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure to wipe out the Hou Clan, a branch clan of the Mou Clan, he did not immediately inform Su-Ying-Er. Because the time to complete that mission was too fast. If he had told her too soon that his subordinate had completed it and retrieved all the goods, there might have been a little chaos.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu! … Young Master?!!"

Hah!

"Sorry, I was thinking about something. Miss Su can continue."

Zheng-Fu quickly pulled his mind back and pretended to be thinking about something, so he was absent-minded as she asked. He thought that this excuse seemed to make the most sense.

"What are you thinking about? Ever since we were browsing the merchandise, I have seen you acting like that all the time. Or do you have something on your mind about me?"

Su-Ying-Er felt that Zheng-Fu's answer was a bit strange, but she did not ask much. Seeing that Zheng-Fu did not want to answer, she changed the topic and teased him instead.

Ha ha ha!

"Actually, Miss Su is as beautiful as a heavenly goddess, and I'm a man, so it's not strange that I have some thoughts about you. By the way, do you want to know what I'm... thinking... about?" Zheng-Fu laughed before teasing Su-Ying-Er back to cover up his previous actions.

You!

She was sure that Zheng-Fu would never show any reaction to her question, but the answer she received was completely the opposite of what she had expected. And it caused her to blush in embarrassment involuntarily.

One incense-stick time passed...

After browsing through the goods for another half hour, Zheng-Fu finally found something interesting. It was an ancient sword that gave off a cool feeling. Although it looked so ancient, the aura and energy it emitted were extraordinary. However, what really interested Zheng-Fu was that this ancient sword caused his Aqua-dragon Deity Sword to vibrate strangely.

'Master, this sword is very important to me. If I fuse myself with it, it'll greatly enhance my spirituality. Master..., please buy it for me!'

It had been a long time since Aqua-dragon Deity Sword had said anything at all. It was almost as if he had become invisible and it had been ever like this since Zheng-Fu was able to completely possess this sword.

'Don't worry, I'll buy it for you. I cannot bear to see you destroyed.'

Even though Aqua-dragon Deity Sword did not ask, Zheng-Fu had already planned to buy it for him. He had been using this sword for a long time and felt very attached to it. Although the Aqua-dragon Deity Sword was only a primordial weapon, he had still used it until then. Fortunately, it had not been broken or shattered by the violent clashes in many battles, such as when he fought Demon King at Blood Tomb. Therefore, once he had found a way to make Aqua-dragon Deity Sword evolve, there was no way he would let it pass.

"It seems that Young Master Zheng-Fu is interested in this antique sword. If so, I'll give it to you as a gift." Su-Ying-Er saw that Zheng-Fu was interested in the antique sword on the display case, so she immediately took that opportunity to increase her relationship with him by giving him that sword. Although that sword was not very valuable in her eyes or the eyes of others.

"No need, Miss Su. I don't want to take advantage of you. Besides, this is a product for sale, I'd rather pay you!" Of course, Zheng-Fu knew Su-Ying-Er's intentions, but he did not want to have any more relationships with anyone. In the end, he had to leave and return to his world. So, Zheng-Fu chose to buy the sword instead of accepting it as a gift from her.

Err…

"Then, Young Master, I'll give you a discount." Su-Ying-Er was clearly disappointed that Zheng-Fu rejected her goodwill, but she was not angry or dissatisfied. On the contrary, it made her even more interested in Zheng-Fu.

"Hmm… All right!"

Having rejected a good wish the first time and rejecting it again would not be a good idea. So, Zheng-Fu accepted her discount. And they agreed to trade that antique sword for fifty thousand Eternal Coins, down from the usual price of one hundred thousand, as Su-Ying-Er had quoted.

Sigh!

'This sword must be more expensive than this. She doesn't intend to give up on this idea at all!?'

Zheng-Fu could only let out a helpless sigh. Even though he knew the price of the sword must have been higher than that, he could not do anything about it. Su-Ying-Er was the Boss Lady of the store; she had the right to set the price however she wanted. She could even set the selling price for one Eternal Coin if she wanted. So, he let go of that matter and moved on to asking for other information.

"Miss Su, I'd like to know if there are any forgeries in this city?" Zheng-Fu thought that he should spend the remaining time fusing the Aqua-dragon Deity Sword with the antique sword he had just bought, so he asked Su-Ying-Er for a good forgery.

Hah!?

"Why are you asking about the forgery?" Su-Ying-Er tilted her head slightly in doubt as she asked Zheng-Fu the reason.

"You'll find out soon. By the way, is there any of it here?" Zheng-Fu was too lazy to explain. He thought it would be better to let her see it by herself when he did it, so that he would not have to say much.

Ah!

"There's an old smithy in the back of this store. Even though it's old, some tools and equipment are still in quite good condition. Come on… I'll take you there myself!" No matter how much Su-Ying-Er wanted to know, since Zheng-Fu was not willing to answer, she did not ask anymore so as not to annoy Zheng-Fu. And she considered taking Zheng-Fu to that smithy herself.

Young Miss!

"You guys stay here and watch the store. If there's nothing important, don't bother me and Young Master Zheng-Fu, understand?!"

But before Su-Ying-Er could take Zheng-Fu to the smithy, a middle-aged man, who was her trusted right-hand man, protested with a worried and anxious tone.

But Su-Ying-Er did not give up on the idea of going with Zheng-Fu alone. Even though it might be seen as improper, to know Zheng-Fu's secrets and needs, she was willing to bear that judgment.

Yes, Young Miss!

"You're really a determined person, Miss Su. Even though you know that being alone with a man would not look good, you still let yourself be seen like that. But, Miss Su, aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you?" Zheng-Fu smiled at the corner of his mouth before turning to tease Su-Ying-Er joyfully. And after he finished speaking, he moved his face closer to hers.

Ah… You!

Su-Ying-Er immediately took a few steps back. She felt hot and trembled when she saw Zheng-Fu's face up close.

"I don't care about other people's gossip, because I didn't grow up with them. I grew up with my family and myself. So…, no one can judge me!" Although she felt embarrassed, Su-Ying-Er quickly adjusted her mood. She quickly made herself into a respectable Boss Lady without losing her image at all. And she also could speak in a resolute tone.

Excellent!

"Then, Miss Su, please lead the way."

Umm!

Fifteen minutes passed…

"These tools must have been abandoned for quite some time. Even though some of them can be used, they definitely can't be used to create Deity Weapons!"

After looking around the smithy, Zheng-Fu found that all the tools had been abandoned for a long time. Some of them were no longer usable. The ones that could be used could only create the Advanced Immortal Weapons. The abilities of those tools were not enough to fuse the Aqua-dragon Deity Sword with the antique sword.

Deity Weapon?

"You're going to create a Deity Weapon?!"

Of course, everyone would be shocked and ask that question. Su-Ying-Er could not help but ask as well. If Zheng-Fu could really forge a Deity Weapon, then it would be something great and unbelievable.

"Hmm… I can't guarantee that I can forge one either. I have never made a weapon of that level before. The highest level I have ever made was an Advanced Immortal Weapon. But that was because the materials I had at that time weren't of a high enough level to make a weapon of a higher level. That's why I stopped making them and spent time gathering materials to make higher-level weapons."

Zheng-Fu did not lie or talk to look cool. He really was not sure if he could create a Deity Weapon. But he was confident that the fusion of his sword with the antique sword this time would be successful and turn his Primordial Sword into an Advanced Heavenly Sword or Deity Sword. But that also depended on whether that smithy's tools and furnace had sufficient potential.

Umm…

Su-Ying-Er did not say anything more than let out a soft groan of approval through her throat. Because she knew that for this man, she could not use the common sense of ordinary people to talk to him. So, if she wanted to know whether Zheng-Fu was telling the truth, the only way was to wait and see with her own eyes.

"Actually, these tools are really old. But don't worry! I'll send someone to find better tools and furnaces, as well as materials to create Deity Weapons. But…, you also have to forge a Deity Long Saber for Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall, all right?"

To know Zheng-Fu's abilities, Su-Ying-Er decided to make another big investment. She was willing to buy new tools and furnaces, including providing all materials for Zheng-Fu. The only condition was that Zheng-Fu had to create one Deity Long Saber for her in exchange.

Hah!?

"Miss Su, are you overconfident in me? Aren't you afraid that I'll make you lose both money and time?" Zheng-Fu was a little surprised when he heard that Su-Ying-Er was willing to invest so much. She even paid a high price for materials and equipment to someone she had only known for less than a day.

"I told you I'm a decisive one. When I thought you were worth investing in, I believed in you and would do it!"

Su-Ying-Er wanted to say that she was actually a little worried, but she had already said that she was confident and trusted Zheng-Fu, so she had to take the risk.

Umm… Good!

"Since you trust and believe in me so much, I won't let you down, Miss Su. Besides, I also have some news to tell you. That is… the matter you asked me to help with has been successfully accomplished. And Master Elder is now returning here with your goods and all the Hou Clan treasures. According to my calculations, he should return within a few minutes."

Hah!?

Ha… has been successfully accomplished!?

Zheng-Fu's words shocked Su-Ying-Er. Because dealing with the Hou Clan was not easy. Although Hou Clan was not a major or a powerful clan, they had several Deity Monarch Stage cultivators and many other great skilled martial masters, so it should take quite a long time to eliminate them all. But at that moment, only less than a shichen had passed.
