Chapter 351: Ye Wen and Qian Renxue Join Forces to Create Soul Guidance Devices
"Now that we've come this far, you..." Ye Wen looked at her in confusion.
"Ye Wen, wait, let me think it over."
"Alright, I understand."
Ye Wen was not one to force others, so he quickly stopped his actions. Although at this moment, stopping the Martial Soul Fusion would cause the Soul Guidance Device to backfire, causing pain both physically and mentally, he ultimately separated from Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue hurriedly adjusted herself, her face flushed, but after a long silence, she made up her mind. She said seriously, "Ye Wen, I cannot deny that I have feelings for you, but there is one thing I still find hard to accept — that there are other women around you."
"Right now, I cannot..."
"Is that so? Although I, Ye Wen, am not a person who is fixated on just one woman, I am not someone who quickly grows tired of a person either. The women I like, I will always like, and the women I love, I will always love. You will be the same."
"I understand this, and it's okay if you can't accept it for now. I have my eyes on you, and I won't give up. I will wait for you. You can think it over."
"Let's leave it at that for today. We'll get up early tomorrow and finish the Soul Guidance Device. After that, we will head to Sun and Moon City." Ye Wen sighed, tidied his clothes, and returned to his room.
Qian Renxue silently sat on the sofa, her heart in turmoil. She stared at Ye Wen's departing figure, her face still rosy. Just before he was about to enter his room, she called out, "Ye Wen."
"Hmm?" Ye Wen paused and turned around, looking at the disheveled Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue said, "Tonight's events... I hope you just forget they happened."
"Heh." Ye Wen shook his head and smiled, understanding what she meant. "Okay, I understand. Tomorrow, we'll go back to the way things were."
With that, he entered his room and closed the door.
Forget it? How could that be? What happened tonight would forever be etched in both Ye Wen's and Qian Renxue's hearts, an event they could not erase.
And both of them had already become deeply entangled in it. They could not go back to the way things were, despite their efforts to forget and not bring it up. This would undoubtedly affect how they interacted from now on.
As for what had happened tonight, everything that needed to happen had already occurred, except for the crucial step—the Martial Soul Fusion technique.
At this point, Qian Renxue could no longer back out. As long as Ye Wen pursued her relentlessly, it was only a matter of time before he won her over.
But for Ye Wen, he wanted Qian Renxue to truly accept him, and accept the fact that there were other women around him—Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er.
That night, neither of them slept.
They simply lay in bed until dawn.
At 7:00 AM, Ye Wen woke up early, washed up, and walked out of his room. At that moment, Qian Renxue had just finished washing up, and they ran into each other at the door.
The events of the previous night immediately came to their minds, along with those awkward and embarrassing moments. Qian Renxue's face turned red, and she tried to act calm. "You... you're up."
"Mm, let's go. We'll head to Master Decheng's workshop."
"Mm, alright."
After breakfast, the two went to Decheng's workshop. However, it was clear that the events of last night had left them both a bit awkward, and their interactions were no longer as natural as before.
"Let's build it according to the design you drew last night. I'll forge the Soul Guidance Device body, and you can handle the core magic formation, okay?" Ye Wen suggested.
"Mm, let's get started." Qian Renxue nodded.
Ye Wen, originally a master with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's hammer, was also proficient in forging. He had learned it later, and his forging skills were top-notch, so he was in charge of making the Soul Guidance Device.
Qian Renxue, who was even better at engraving magic formations, would handle the core magic formation. They worked together and immediately began the process.
Ye Wen started forging the weapon while Qian Renxue began etching the core magic formation.
While the core magic formation required more technique and skill, as it was the heart of the Soul Guidance Device, forging the weapon was actually a longer and more complicated process.
Ye Wen needed to pick the best iron material, as well as the metals and gems required for the Soul Guidance Device. Once all the materials were prepared, they proceeded to the next step.
Master Decheng watched the entire process, focusing mainly on Ye Wen, as this was the first time he saw Ye Wen forge a weapon.
Ye Wen quickly scanned through the iron materials and immediately locked onto one. He picked it up.
"Wow!! Excellent eyesight!!" Master Decheng exclaimed. The piece Ye Wen had selected was the best one in the workshop.
Ye Wen proceeded to prepare the other materials. He selected materials that were common, but not necessarily rare—of the best quality among mid-tier materials.
"A true master! He must be a master!!" Master Decheng thought to himself.
The next step in the forging process was to heat the materials in the furnace.
Ye Wen personally controlled the furnace temperature, and after a long while, he quickly used his tools to take out the materials, the temperature perfect.
"Perfect! It's simply perfect!!!" Master Decheng couldn't help but exclaim.
Ye Wen glanced over and said, "Hey, can you keep it down? Don't make such a fuss, you'll disturb her."
Decheng glanced at Qian Renxue, who was seriously engraving the magic formation, and quickly nodded. "Yes! Yes!"
Ye Wen turned back to his work.
Next, the forging continued—hammering!
"Second Soul Skill, Abyssal Demon Dragon Hammer!" Ye Wen decisively released his soul skill and took a deep breath. He hammered down hard and began to rhythmically strike the materials with powerful blows!
"Bam! Bam! Bam!"
Master Decheng was stunned, his mouth agape, continuously amazed at Ye Wen's every strike, rhythm, and precision.
"Every hammer, every movement, every rhythm, every angle is flawless! It's incredible!!!"
"Just what level of blacksmith is he?! And this hammering technique... I've never seen such a powerful hammering technique and forging skill before!!"
The sound of hammering continued as Master Decheng stood there in awe.
