Fire-Tipped Spear? And Palm Thunder?

"What exactly is this kid up to?"

Bibi Dong was utterly baffled. Her gaze shifted as she searched for clues.

Soon,

she spotted the stack of white paper in the upper-left corner.

Variously shaped components were drawn on them, with their dimensions marked beside them.

"Is it some kind of weapon?"

Bibi Dong murmured, her eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

Could it be that Ye Tian was also a weapons master?!

Bibi Dong hardly dared imagine it.

Yet she turned her gaze toward the rest of the room.

If the commotion had been caused by researching some kind of weapon, there had to be other clues in the room.

For example—

the missing Mortar and Pestle?!

After looking around, Bibi Dong finally noticed the details she had overlooked in her earlier panic!

She saw that

the Alchemy Furnace that should have been in the center of the room had somehow been moved?

Judging by the marks on the floor,

it had shifted at the very least several centimeters to the left.

And on the upper-right surface of the Alchemy Furnace,

there was a fresh layer of black soot left by smoke.

Together with the folding screen that had fallen over to the right of the furnace,

as well as the wooden Mortar and Pestle fragments embedded in the screen and scattered across the floor,

it was obvious

that weapon had been triggered to the right of the Alchemy Furnace!

It had even been aimed directly at the furnace.

That was why the nearly four-square-meter, two-meter-tall Alchemy Furnace had shifted several centimeters to the left!

Looking at it this way,

that weapon's power was definitely no small matter!

If Ye Tian had known Bibi Dong's guess, he would certainly have applauded her.

But there was one thing Bibi Dong had gotten wrong.

Ye Tian had actually triggered it in front of the desk, but he had flung it away in time.

That was how he had escaped unharmed.

Splash!

The sound of running water came from the washroom.

Ye Tian braced both hands against the sink and looked at the refreshed shota face in the mirror.

He could not help but smile.

It seemed compressing gunpowder could not rely on brute force alone.

Otherwise, fiddling with it a few more times could easily cause the heat to exceed the limit and trigger a self-destruct.

At the same time, he had to prevent static electricity from appearing.

Ye Tian's mind cleared.

It began functioning normally again.

Perhaps he could try dividing it into small portions and compressing them separately.

That way,

even if an accident happened, it would not cause too much damage.

Just as Ye Tian was thinking in front of the mirror,

Bibi Dong outside was beginning to grow impatient and could not help urging him,

"Come out once you're done!"

"Coming, Teacher."

Ye Tian answered, hung the towel back up, and strolled out.

The moment he stepped out from behind the folding screen,

he saw Bibi Dong beckon to him.

"..."

Only then did Ye Tian notice the black handprint on Bibi Dong's face.

Was Bibi Dong going to torture him?!

Before he even reached her, Ye Tian nervously asked,

"Teacher, what is it?"

"You made such a damn racket in the middle of the night. Does that not count as something?"

Bibi Dong said annoyedly, pointing to the spot in front of her.

"Get over here and stand properly!"

"Ah, alright."

Ye Tian nodded and stood before Bibi Dong.

It seemed

Bibi Dong had not yet noticed that she had become a little tabby cat.

"Can you hear clearly now?"

Bibi Dong still had one leg crossed over the other,

her jade foot swaying. Even with dust on the arch of her foot, it did not lose any of its refinement.

Ye Tian merely glanced over there

before an awkward expression appeared on his face.

From his angle, Bibi Dong's skirt was not doing much to hide anything.

He could not see anything, but it was still improper.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. This Disciple's hearing has fully recovered."

Ye Tian lowered his eyes slightly and answered softly,

then could not help raising a hand to point beneath Bibi Dong's skirt.

"Well... Teacher, perhaps you should sit more properly?"

"??!"

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and looked down at her legs, immediately startled.

She hurriedly lowered her leg and sat with them close together,

her back straightening stiffly as well.

Yet the embarrassment on her face could not be concealed, and it was tinged with angry red.

She stared at Ye Tian.

She had forgotten that she had come over wearing a nightgown!

"Um..."

The silence in the air made Ye Tian uneasy.

He gave a dry laugh and clarified,

"Rest assured, Teacher. This Disciple did not see anything."

"Shut up!"

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth.

So what if Ye Tian had seen something? Could she really flay him alive?

Bibi Dong took two deep breaths,

no longer intending to waste time, and said coldly,

"From now on, I ask, and you answer."

"Alright, Teacher. Ask away."

Ye Tian nodded briskly.

He had noticed earlier that Bibi Dong had looked through those blueprints.

"Are you researching some kind of weapon?"

Bibi Dong asked directly.

"Well~ you could say that!"

Ye Tian hesitated for a moment before nodding in admission.

"The blueprints do show weapons I intend to make. When used, they spit fire, so I named them 'Fire-Tipped Spears'!"

"Where are the weapons, then?"

"They haven't been made yet!"

"Then what was that explosion in your room?"

"That was different from what was in the blueprints!"

Ye Tian shook his head.

"That was Palm Thunder. Something went wrong during the step of compressing the materials."

"Palm Thunder?"

Bibi Dong gave Ye Tian a deep look, the shock in her heart practically overflowing.

This kid was actually making weapons!

"Rest assured, Teacher. I already thought of a solution just now. Nothing similar will happen again in the future."

Ye Tian smiled teasingly.

He had already imagined

the scene of throwing Palm Thunder out as a Self-Created Soul Skill in the future.

That would definitely be sinister!

"..."

Bibi Dong stared at Ye Tian, gazing into those black eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

She became somewhat dazed.

Was this kid even human?

"Hm?"

Seeing Bibi Dong lost in thought,

Ye Tian looked at those five finger marks. Though he found them amusing, he did not dare delay and boldly stepped forward while pinching his sleeve.

"..."

Bibi Dong caught the Pill Fragrance on him and immediately came back to her senses.

She was merely curious about what Ye Tian wanted to do.

Very soon,

Ye Tian gave her the answer.

He raised his hand and reached straight toward Bibi Dong's noble face.

He had only lightly wiped twice

When Bibi Dong came back to her senses from her brief confusion, she raised her hand and brought it down.

Slap!

It smashed viciously onto the desk beside her.

"Presumptuous!"

Bibi Dong's furious shout made Ye Tian's hand tremble involuntarily twice.

His sleeve slipped down.

His fingertips brushed against Bibi Dong's face.

Ye Tian's eyes widened.

After merely brushing against her twice, he pulled his hand back as though shocked by electricity.

Keeping calm in the face of danger,

he stepped back and returned to where he had been standing earlier.

"What are you doing? Are you asking for a beating?"

Bibi Dong stared coldly at Ye Tian, looking utterly enraged.

This was tonight

the third time Ye Tian had touched her like this!

Considering that he had been dazed by the explosion,

she had let the first time he touched her hand slide, and the second time he pushed her face had also passed.

Now that he had regained his senses,

he actually dared to molest her so openly?

Bibi Dong stood up,

moved close to Ye Tian, Looked Down Upon him, and continued,

"You had better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise... I will beat you to death. I will beat you to death very cruelly!"

Ye Tian looked up.

He smiled awkwardly.

"Teacher, I just saw some dirt on your face and wanted to wipe it off for you."
