A Good Romance

Regardless of whether Ling Han and Shui Yanyu were willing or not, Bu Zhengyun was obviously determined to follow them.
In his words, as the host, he naturally had the duty to accompany his guests, and introduce them to his guests.
He accompanied Ling Han and Shui Yanyu, and no matter where they went, he would follow their every step. It could be taken as being very enthusiastic, or it could also be taken as monitoring them.
Ling Han had originally wanted to go to the various houses in the village, but the moment he deviated from the main path, Bu Zhengyun would speak up to stop them, and use the excuse that the people here did not like to be disturbed to stop them from going over. He even forbade the two of them from talking to the passersby on the road.
This attempt to cover up only made it more obvious, and instead made Ling Han even more suspicious.
However, because he had not yet planned to fall out with the Island Master's faction, Ling Han did not take any drastic actions, and returned to the manor after a simple stroll outside.
Luo Wu and Fan Yong had both gone to look for Guo Xiuwen to learn the art of puppetry. If they were really geniuses in this area, then after learning this technique, when they returned to the Imperial Capital, their status would definitely be able to rise to a whole new level.
One would be able to obtain an important position in the clan, and the other would not need to follow Zhao Lun anymore. He would be able to stand on his own, and would have the right to establish his own force.
Thus, the two of them were very proactive.
At first, Liu Ying did not seem to be interested, but later, she seemed to be moved, and frequently went out.
In comparison, Yang Tiecheng only wanted to return, Jin Zhihui only had the word sword forging in his eyes, Yin Yuanxiang lived in seclusion, and had always been very unsociable. Meanwhile, Fu Tian was completely uninterested in anything other than cultivation.
Time passed day by day, and Luo Wu, Fan Yong, and Liu Ying simply did not return. It was as if they had become addicted to learning the art of puppetry.
On the seventh day, Guo Xiuwen came over to invite Ling Han and Shui Yanyu to view the puppets he was about to make.
Ling Han had no interest in learning the art of puppetry, but he was very curious about the uses of puppets. Thus, he readily agreed, and went with Shui Yanyu to the workshop in the manor.
There were a total of two workshops here, one large and one small. The small workshop was Pei Ji's private property, and even his five disciples could only enter after receiving special permission. This was the large workshop.
Pei Ji taught the five of them how to make puppets here, and they usually practiced here.
The workshop was divided into several rooms, and the soundproofing was excellent. Otherwise, how could the people in the other rooms think in peace if they kept banging away?
"When creating a puppet, from the selection of raw materials to the carving of array patterns and the filling of True Origin Stones, everything is very particular." Guo Xiuwen introduced the place as he walked. He led Ling Han and Ye Zichen to a house. This was his territory.
The place was huge and filled with all kinds of materials and tools.
"I've been working on a humanoid puppet for the past few days, and it's almost at the final stage."
This time, he finally didn't ride on the tiger-shaped puppet, but he still followed by his side. From the back, it was no different from a real tiger, but from the front, its eyes were obviously too fake. There were two red gems embedded in its eyes, and they weren't real eyes.
He pointed at a humanoid puppet with an infatuated expression on his face.
This puppet's whole body was wrapped in white bandages, so it could only be seen that it was humanoid. As for what it was made of, that was completely indiscernible.
"The achievement of a puppeteer is to create puppets that can pass off as real." He stroked this half-finished puppet, and revealed an excited expression. He said, "Please enjoy."
He cut open the puppet's chest. It was empty inside, and 12 pairs of ribs could be clearly seen. However, they weren't white, but a faint gold color.
"The bones have all gone through special treatment, and have been plated with a layer of Godly metal. Because the raw materials used to create the puppet are of different levels, the level of Godly metal plating is also different. For this puppet, Level Three Godly metal is enough," Guo Xiuwen explained to Ling Han and Ye Zichen as he quickly processed the puppet.
"Take note, every bone has been carved with array patterns. This is very important. After all, this is not a living body. Only by relying on array patterns can every part of it be activated. Moreover, it has to be considered holistically. Otherwise, the fist will be swinging out, but the feet will be retreating. This naturally won't do."
Guo Xiuwen was in high spirits. He didn't care whether Ling Han and Ye Zichen understood or were interested. He just continued to talk like that.
"The last step is to insert True Origin Stones to activate the array patterns." He took out a dozen or so True Origin Stones, and then said to Shui Yanyu, "Miss Shui, do you want to personally insert True Origin Stones to activate this puppet?"
Shui Yanyu hurriedly shook her head. Though she knew this was only a tool, with the concept of "human" in mind, she naturally felt that such an action was extremely disgusting.
Guo Xiuwen snickered, and didn't try to persuade her further. Instead, he said, "No matter how powerful an existence is, it will all have its end, and no matter how beautiful a woman, there will also be a moment when she will wither."
He stuffed the True Origin Stones into the puppet's stomach one by one. Then, he stared at Shui Yanyu, his eyes burning with passion. "Miss Shui, you are so beautiful and enchanting. This kind of appearance, this kind of body, you should remain forever, and not age. Otherwise, it would be a kind of evil!"
"This has nothing to do with Brother Guo, right?" Ling Han interrupted.
"Hehe, I've lost my composure, I've lost my composure!" Guo Xiuwen hurriedly apologized as he closed up the chest of the puppet. Of course, he didn't use a needle and thread, but rather multiple iron rings. He fastened up the chest area, and after a closer look, he found that the other end of the iron rings was pierced through the spine.
"Now, please enjoy!" He took a step back, a fanatical expression on his face.
Weng, this puppet suddenly opened its eyes, and then stood up with a whoosh. It seemed to be a little dazed, looking left and right.
"Every year or so, a kind of substance would seep out from the Earth's Core Cave, and we call it Divine Mist. When the Divine Mist is infused into the puppet, it will trigger an unexpected effect … for example …" Guo Xiuwen said from the side.
This puppet suddenly stared at Ling Han, its gaze no longer wandering. Through the gaps of the bandages, it could be seen that a pair of eyes was exuding a light like that of an evil wolf.
"He!" The humanoid puppet released a low roar, and with a stomp of its foot, it suddenly charged at Ling Han.
This burst of speed was extremely fast. It stretched out a hand, and it could be seen that two of its fingers were not wrapped in bandages. They were like metal, and the tips of its fingers were incredibly sharp, exuding a cold luster.
Ling Han was unafraid, and greeted the attack with a punch.
Peng!
In the exchange of blows, Ling Han couldn't help but take a few steps back. Meanwhile, that puppet only trembled slightly, and its figure stabilized. It released another sharp howl, and once again attacked Ling Han.
The strength of the middle stage of the high extreme of the Mountain River Tier, or even the late stage, Ling Han estimated. He activated the divine patterns of gravity, and that puppet instantly staggered, almost falling over.
However, Ling Han also frowned, feeling very strained.
His opponent only had the strength of the high extreme, yet he felt such a strained feeling. There could only be one reason, and that was that his opponent was too heavy.
The same effect of gravity, applied on a rock and a mountain, naturally consumed completely different amounts of power.
Thinking of what Guo Xiuwen had said before, he said that the skeleton of the puppet was plated with Godly Metal, so its weight had to be astonishing.
What Ling Han didn't understand was why this puppet would attack him. Guo Xiuwen clearly hadn't given the order.
Boom, boom, boom!
The puppet continued to attack, as if it was determined to kill Ling Han.
