The Silver Desert
Mu Qingping's face was ashen. It was clear that Xia Fei's bluntness had inadvertently angered her.
As the saying went, good advice was unpleasant to the ear, but the truth was unpleasant to the ear. There was nothing wrong with telling the truth, but the mistake was that the person listening was a lady, and a lady of noble birth who believed herself to have superior taste. Xia Fei had undoubtedly hurt Mu Qingping's self-esteem.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the vexed Mu Qingping, Xia Fei's eyes flashed. A very different set of war armor beneath a hemlock tree had attracted his attention.
Just when he was about to go over and see what was going on, Mu Qingping exploded.
"Hmph! What right do you have to judge the quality of war armor? Even if the requirements for the figure are a little harsh, there's nothing wrong with that! If you can't wear it, it can only be said that your figure is too poor and you don't have the right to wear it! "
Women often did not like to be reasonable when they were angry, and Mu Qingping was no exception.
Yuhua hurriedly went over to comfort the furious Mu Qingping, but at this moment, he heard an indifferent voice come from the distance.
"Mister Xia Fei is correct. Qingping, don't be rude."
Xia Fei and Yuhua turned in the direction of the voice and saw a girl around twenty years of age slowly walking over. She looked rather similar to Mu Qingping.
However, this lady did not wear any makeup, and her fair oval face carried a lingering sorrow that made one's heart ache. In terms of appearance, she was even more beautiful than Mu Qingping.
Xia Fei said nothing, his eyes still sweeping over the hemlock tree, not paying much attention to her arrival.
"Sis! This person dares to say that the war armor you designed isn't good? How despicable! "
The lady smiled and stroked Mu Qingping's long hair.
"Gentlemen, I am Mu Fuping, Qingping's older sister. Can I have a word with you?"
Her voice was soft and amiable, making it impossible to refuse.
Yuhua was just about to agree when Xia Fei suddenly strode away, leaving the Mu sisters and Yuhua to the side. He said, "If you have anything to say, say it here."
Yuhua helplessly shook his head. Xia Fei only had eyes for the silver war armor. He simply did not care about the Mu sisters at all.
With the sensitivity of a businessman, Yu Hua found something strange. Blacksmiths had to rely on inheritance. The master would take in apprentices, and the apprentices would take in apprentices, passing on their skills step by step.
He had never heard of a female artificer. Mu Fuping was a young girl, but she was also an artificer, and an artificer of the Mu Clan of the Nine Great Clans. This was no simple feat.
If that peak Law Emperor armor, the Silver Rain Needles, had really been forged by Mu Fuping, that would be even more incredible.
To forge a peak Law Emperor armor, one needed to be a peak Law Emperor at the very least. Mu Fuping was only twenty, but she was already a peak Law Emperor?!
Mu Qingping's eyes flashed with fury, and just as she was about to lash out, Mu Fuping held her back.
"Unique Pavilion will be entertaining an honored guest today. Close the doors," Mu Fuping softly ordered.
The maidservants and staff at the side were all stunned. Closing the door and refusing to meet guests? This was the first time since the opening of Unique Pavilion. Could it be for the two from the Yu Family?
After receiving the order, everyone withdrew, leaving only the Mu sisters, Xia Fei, and Yu Hua in the Hundred Treasure Garden.
Mu Qingping angrily stomped her foot and turned to leave. Mu Fuping did not stop her, and after some thought, Yu Hua chased after Mu Qingping, leaving Xia Fei and Mu Fuping alone in the garden.
"What a powerful killing intent! No wonder it was placed in a corner. This liquid war armor is very different from all the other weapons. Its aura is completely different. "Phantom was just like Xia Fei as he stared at the armor in front of him.
This was a set of liquid war armor. Liquid metal could be both soft and hard, and it was currently in its rigid state.
The sharp lines outlined the shape of its muscles, and the armor was like a valiant warrior, its eyes cold and stern as it stood under a tree.
It was as if this armor had a life of its own. Xia Fei could almost hear its heart beating in its chest.
It was fully protected, from the soles of its feet all the way to its hair. Every part was seamless. The liquid war armor was a single piece, so there was no need for it to be pieced together, so it naturally did not have any ports.
The red goggles were like a pair of blood-red eyes that had feasted on the blood of its enemies. That blood-red color seemed like it was about to spurt out of the eyes.
There was no doubt that this set of armor was outstanding. Placed in Unique Pavilion, it stood out from the crowd!
Xia Fei was deeply captivated by this armor. The texture of the metal gave off an intense surging feeling. Not even Warstar's liquid war armor could compare to it!
Xia Fei immediately discovered it among the hundreds of different sets of armor, and it seemed to have discovered Xia Fei as well.
A warrior and a suit of armor stared at each other. Xia Fei stared straight at the armor, as if he was watching a duel between two experts.
'It's him!' Xia Fei said to himself.
Mu Fuping walked over and stood behind Xia Fei.
"This liquid war armor is called [Silver Desert]. The defensive power of the laws it comes with isn't considered strong, being only at the level of a level 6 Law Sovereign. However, the liquid war armor itself has strong adaptability and sturdiness, enough to be ranked among the top armors."
Xia Fei nodded. Xia Fei naturally understood the characteristics of liquid metal. This kind of armor, which was sometimes soft and sometimes tough, was very comfortable to wear and was very close-fitting. Moreover, liquid metal had a natural defense against law energy, further enhancing the protection of the human body.
"I'll have someone take it down. You can take a look for yourself. Go to the living room and take a look."
Xia Fei said nothing. Before leaving, he glanced at the price. Five hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals!
Fortunately, he did not break out in a cold sweat. This was practically the limit of what Xia Fei could accept, but after buying this Silver Desert, Xia Fei did not have the money to buy any other weapons. It seemed that he would have to wait a little longer for the spatial compass that he had always wanted.
"What you said just now was very thorough. I truly did pay too much attention to the details when designing the armor, neglecting the most fundamental needs a warrior has for armor," Mu Fuping said.
As the two spoke, they arrived at the living room. They saw Mu Qingping sitting there angrily. Upon seeing Xia Fei enter, the girl turned her head and coldly harrumphed. It was clear that her anger had not subsided.
Xia Fei was thinking about the Silver Desert armor, so he did not pay it much attention.
Mu Fuping surrounded Xia Fei and asked him about his thoughts on armor design. Xia Fei did not mince his words, saying a lot in one breath.
The Alliance often used soft combat suits. These suits were very close-fitting, but they were rather lacking in defense. Law Realm warriors would often face powerful attacks from their opponents, so they often used rigid armor to increase their defense.
Xia Fei's philosophy was not hard to understand. It was a degree of comfort. A suit of armor could not interfere with one's offensive power. In Xia Fei's view, armor was only for defense, while offense was the strongest defense. He believed that offense was the key to victory.
Mu Fuping quietly listened, occasionally nodding as if trying to digest what Xia Fei had said.
Xia Fei frowned. "Miss Mu, you've probably never experienced a real battle, right?"
Mu Fuping nodded and curiously asked, "How do you know?"
Xia Fei replied, "If you've experienced what it's like to have your life hanging by a thread, you won't care if a suit of armor is beautiful or not. You'll also remove those unnecessary layers of defense. Armor is only made for battle. It's a tool to protect your life at a crucial moment, not something you wear to show off your strength.
"If you're willing to listen to the requests of the experienced warriors, or if you're willing to have someone try on every suit of armor you've designed, to test the rationality of the design and whether or not it will interfere with your attack, all the problems will be easily solved."
Xia Fei's words were very practical, but it was inevitable that he would hurt the girl's pride. Yuhua hastily stepped forward to cover for Xia Fei, changing the topic. "Miss Mu, I wonder if you personally enhanced the law power of these armors?"
Mu Fuping smiled. "My rank isn't high enough to enhance all the suits of armor. Only a small portion of them were personally enhanced by me, and the majority were designed by me, with the Master Artificers of the clan responsible for enhancing them."
Yuhua was enlightened. It turned out that this girl was not a peak Law Emperor. He shrugged. It was already a miracle that she could become an Artificer at such a young age. If she could cultivate to peak Law Emperor, that would truly be heaven-defying!
Mu Qingping could no longer hold back. She viciously said, "You dare to say that my older sister's work isn't good! Are your eyes crooked? Hmph! Do you know how many people have begged my older sister to design armor for them, only to be rejected? Even if you want it today, I won't sell it to you! "
Xia Fei smiled. "My apologies. I've already chosen a suit of armor for myself. I really don't want your older sister's work."
* Pa! *
The teacup in Mu Qingping's hand fell to the ground while Yuhua's eyes went wide. Xia Fei's stubborn temper had reached its peak. Not only had he not given Mu Qingping any face, he had even implicated Mu Fuping.
Miss Mu Fuping paled and awkwardly rubbed her temples.
"You! You! "Mu Qingping was so angry that she was at a loss for words. Xia Fei's words had infuriated her.
"Qingping, those people who come to me to design armor are all lechers. There's no need to mention them again." Mu Fuping displayed her excellent upbringing and calmly said, "Young Master Xia's words are extremely reasonable. He has his reasons for not liking the armor I designed. It's understandable."
Mu Qingping seemed to be very obedient to her older sister. She turned her head and sulked, saying no more.
Xia Fei said, "Miss Fuping, my words might be crude, but they're always reasonable. I ask for your forgiveness."
At this moment, a family member entered with the Silver Desert armor and placed it at Xia Fei's side.
Yu Hua was slightly taken aback. He seemed to have sensed a unique aura from this set of battle armor.
"So this is what he chose? Good eye. It truly surpasses Mu Fuping's work. "
The moment Xia Fei saw the armor, he immediately became spirited and began to praise it as he tried it on.
The soft liquid metal wrapped around his body like fur. It was light and sturdy, giving off a comfortable feeling that could not be compared to cold and hard armor.
Even rarer was the fact that the liquid metal was both sturdy and breathable. Even if he wore it day and night, he would not need to take it off. During the day, it was a sturdy armor, a weapon that made enemies shudder in fear. At night, it was a warm bed. Even if he wore this armor and slept soundly in an ice cave, there would be no problem.
"Okay, I'll take this one!" Xia Fei excitedly said.
Mu Fuping ordered the armor to be wrapped up. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "I happen to have a few sets of armor that I'm currently designing. I hope that you can stay for a few days and give me some suggestions. Fuping will naturally repay you."
Yuhua grimaced. The Mu sisters came from the Nine Great Clans. This was a good opportunity to build a relationship! If he had the Withered Mu Clan as his backing …
Yuhua's mind worked quickly, but Xia Fei's reply was even faster.
Without even thinking, Xia Fei waved his hand and said, "Sorry, but I don't have that much time."
Yuhua and Mu Qingping wanted nothing more than to rush up and kick Xia Fei!
