As Ye Xingge walked, he picked up the black mask and examined it, a complex look in his eyes.
This item possesses a unique and precious divine effect, and like the Heaven-Obscuring Arm, it is based on a top-tier weapon, boasting considerable defensive capabilities.
When he listened to Great Beauty's explanation, he thought she had revealed some great treasure, but when he heard "thinking he is the master of war!", he realized something was wrong.
And the specific miraculous effects of [ Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest ] certainly didn't give him any hope!
This magical effect can appear on any object, but it will always be associated with the metal element. The reason is not because it is associated with killing, but because as the "master of weapons," it leads you to fight everywhere, making you undoubtedly a weapon in the human world. Therefore, you occupy its weapon slot...
Furthermore, as long as the holder wears this item, the "master" of all famous soldiers will transform into it.
But your skill is still your skill, after all—you are mine too!
The domineering CEO archetype is completely ruined...
As for its practical uses, it certainly lives up to the description of "extraordinary and miraculous effects".
If you are First Rank old demon with a few ordinary famous weapons, then the weapon master is the mask, and the main famous weapon is naturally you, the strongest one.
But people are not weapons, Heaven-Observing Decree cannot use the No-Strategy Bow to spy on traitors, thus indirectly obscuring heavenly secrets and preventing any information from being exposed to the outside world.
Although it sounds powerful, carrying a magic weapon that is weaker than oneself is usually rather useless.
For example, if First Rank old demon in armor were to carry items like the Ravine-Leaping Tiger, a surprise attack would only take three to five steps, enough to make his opponent laugh to death.
With Ye Xingge's current abilities, to trigger this divine effect, he would have to discard all his divine weapons and only wear the Shaking Gang Bracelet when he went out.
As for old demons whose strength is enough to suppress even top-grade weapons, they most likely possess divine weapons. And Heaven-Observing Decree would probably not dare to spy on an old demon who can suppress even divine weapons...
Therefore, this thing is considered a contaminant of the "Special Divine Effect Pool," and its application scope is not even as good as the Heaven-Obscuring Arm.
Ye Xingge felt that the only people who could actually use it were probably the older generation who had retired from the profession. He wanted to use a famous aphrodisiac but was afraid that people would find out, so he used it to cover up his intentions.
However, this item is still quite defensive when used as a basic armor piece, so it's not accurate to say that he found trash while looting the box; rather, it's that someone who spent a lot of money refining the item had bad luck and ended up with nothing.
Ye Xingge held the "CEO mask" and examined it closely, unknowingly returning to Peach Blossom Lane.
Through the building's perimeter wall, one could see the brightly lit An residence behind it, and even hear the maids chatting idly.
"I have a feeling the head of the family is about to get married!"
"Huh? Whom are you going to marry?"
"Which Young Master Ye came over this morning? Didn't you see how close the patriarch was to him today? He was always running out with news. He was never this diligent before..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingge glanced up a few times, but couldn't see anything through the row of courtyards. After listening for a moment, he returned to his own courtyard.
Chirp chirp chirp~
The faint chirping of insects echoed in the courtyard.
There were no lights or fires in the courtyard. In the kitchen on the west side, a figure in red could be seen secretly chopping vegetables at the counter.
Upon seeing him return, Hongyu quickly straightened her posture, striking the pose of a top-tier martial arts master:
"Why are you back so soon? Didn't you go look for your Three Feet One?"
"The door is locked, and we don't know where the person is."
Ye Xingge carried the package inside, put it down, and looked at the several plates of vegetables that had already been chopped:
"Hey~ Not bad with your swordsmanship."
"?"
Hongyu, who was Second Rank eighth in the second class, turned her head upon hearing this, her eyes looking as if she were being asked what kind of job an air conditioning technician did.
"Hehe..."
Ye Xingge was just joking. He rolled up his sleeves, put on his newly bought apron, lit a fire to heat the butter for the base, and asked:
"Speaking of innate talent cultivation techniques, how do I learn them?"
The growth of the Fate-Robbing Saber is calculated based on the user's current physical attributes and cultivation techniques.
Even if Ye Xingge trains hard for a year in his current state, his skill improvement is estimated to be less than that of Wu Chenglie after three months of hard training. Therefore, his top priority is to improve his physical constitution and skills, which will greatly reduce the number of opponents.
Hongyu slowly and methodically chopped the vegetables, responding:
"Logically, Great Yan should have provided resources by now. If they haven't, it means Great Yan doesn't think you can get into the First Rank within six months. Just keep performing well; you don't need to worry about goals."
Ye Xingge nodded, then glanced at the Great Beauty standing with her back to him:
"Resources are easy to deal with, but what about a cultivation partner? I'm busy killing and robbing all day long, where am I going to find a beautiful, highly skilled, kind-hearted, and charitable female bodhisattva...?"
"?"
Hongyu slowed her chopping motions slightly, sensing that this was probably directed at her.
She did come here for a blind date. If the two of them hit it off, she'll definitely become a "female bodhisattva" in the future.
But if she dared to say those things now, she'd probably have to confess after a good meal tonight. With that thought, her gaze shifted slightly, and she replied:
"Why are you asking me? There are so many girls in the capital, if you want to find someone, just go and pursue them yourself."
Ye Xingge and sighed:
"Back in Qingxi, I was mostly focused on martial arts and catching thieves, so I'm not really good at chasing girls. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Ah?"
Hongyu was speechless when her blind date asked her for advice on how to pursue girls, but she still responded:
"Isn't pursuing a girl simple? If you like her, just say so boldly. If she doesn't agree, just keep pestering her. You're skilled in martial arts and good-looking too. Ordinary girls can't beat you, so they'll just have no choice but to accept it..."
Ye Xingge nodded slightly, then turned around, walked behind Great Beauty, and slipped his hand under the slender waist of the beautiful woman.
?
Hongyu was giving advice when she saw this and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around, leaning back so that the Great Longevity Peach was pressed against the cutting board, her eyes slightly panicked.
"What... what are you doing?!"
Ye Xingge glanced down at the enormous Great Beauty figure, took out some chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic from her side, and gave a look of disgust:
"Eh~"
"Hey? You're just...!"
Seeing his irritating expression, Hongyu wanted to fight back but couldn't win, so she gave up after a long while and turned back to chopping vegetables.
Ta-da-ta-da...
Ye Xingge poured the seasonings into the oil and fried them, then, after thinking for a moment, reached into her bosom and took out a hairpin box:
"Alright, just kidding. Here, as a reward for my Yu'er's help and advice along the way."
Hongyu had just seen Ye Xingge enter the shop, but hadn't noticed what he bought. When she saw the hairpin, her expression turned a little strange.
"Why did you buy these for me? I don't need them..."
"Shall I help you put it on?"
"Hey!"
Hongyu saw Ye Xingge approaching and quickly reached out to catch him, pulling him into her bosom.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and cook."
Ye Xingge was finally satisfied.
soon.
A large, steaming copper pot was brought into the main room.
The aroma of the wine dispelled Hongyu's earlier annoyance; she diligently helped set the table, fetching bowls and chopsticks, and even brought out a wine jar to show off.
Do you know what kind of wine this is?
Ye Xingge sat down at the table, took the wine jar, and examined it:
"Hey~, Jade Spring Liquor, this sake is quite expensive, where did you get it?"
Hongyu adopted a superior air. "This was specially delivered so you could enjoy a delicious meal. Could you help me mix the dipping sauce? I don't know how."
Ye Xingge had also been eagerly anticipating the meal, so she picked up a small bowl to help prepare it, and earnestly explained:
"Don't be fooled by the seemingly ordinary ingredients in this pot of broth; it's actually quite sophisticated. The fennel seeds and other spices are imported from the Western Regions, and I searched several streets to buy the Muyang Li Clan's fermented black beans. The chili peppers are the essence; they're the Yun chili peppers from Lingnan, and the frying time has to be precise to the second..."
What is a second?
"That's one-third of a breath's time."
"Oh..."
Hongyu watched intently, already somewhat impatient.
But since the man hadn't started eating, she knew she couldn't be impolite, so she listened attentively and waited.
As a result, Ye Xingge kept babbling on and on!
Hongyu, listening nearby, was very tempted and almost cried from cravings, but she still couldn't get any. Instead, a commotion came from outside the alley.
Whew~
?
Hongyu's ears twitched slightly, and then her whole body trembled, so angry that her clothes almost burst open!
But now was clearly not the time for a clash of titans. Hongyu gritted her teeth inwardly, but finally glanced at the huge hot pot that had been prepared for so long:
You mustn't let her eat it!
After saying that, he reluctantly picked up his bowl and chopsticks, got up, and quickly climbed over the vacant courtyard next door.
Whew~
Seeing this, Ye Xingge also realized something was wrong and turned to look outside the door.
The wait was only a moment, and the beautiful woman in green robes swept over the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard.
The plump melon bounced a few times as it rose and fell, like waves rolling on water!
Thump thump thump~...
It will be available for purchase tomorrow. I'll try my best to update more often, and I hope you guys can support me!
