Chu Yu sat in front of the table and assembled a small component with a serious expression on her face. It was just that she had never been able to do anything detailed. In the modern era, she had never learned how to do things like cross-stitch or make scarves with her friends. In short, she was unable to do any detailed work. The things that she made seriously were always three times uglier than other people's. Now that she was asked to help Fu Wang, she was able to fully display her previous skills and perform her clumsiness to the extreme.
Previously, Chu Yu still remembered that Fu Wang was beside her and also had to work. Her right hand still remembered to follow the direction of the component, but when she was completely immersed in the work in front of her, she forgot about her hand. On the other hand, Fu Wang, who was sitting beside her, simply followed her movements with his left hand and only used one hand.
The small components that the two of them assembled were the same, but Chu Yu's two hands were busy from morning until noon. Before she could finish assembling one, Fu Wang, who was beside her, had already assembled hundreds of components with just one hand and placed them in a pile at the side.
When Chu Yu finally finished assembling one, she took a deep breath and wiped her sweat, revealing a satisfied smile. When she turned her head and saw the pile of components by Fu Wang's side, her entire heart immediately shattered. She felt that she would rather go out and fight with demonic beasts, or find a demonic beast that she disliked to spar with.
It was not that she was becoming more and more violent, but other than her martial prowess, she felt that she could never catch up to her boss in other aspects. In terms of skills, the only thing that her boss could not beat her in was that he could not give birth to children. Chu Yu's heart was very hurt, and could only find some comfort in this way.
Fu Wang saw her expression and knew what she was thinking. He stopped what he was doing and reached out his hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead. He gently said: "It is normal for people who have never come into contact with mechanisms and formations to not know how to assemble this. I did not expect that Chu Yu would be able to assemble it without me explaining. En, let me see, you did well."
"Really?" Chu Yu blinked and regained her confidence.
"Of course, to be able to do this is already not bad." Fu Wang nodded affirmatively. Of course, he wouldn't say that he was ten times faster than Chu Yu on the first day of self-study.
As expected, Chu Yu didn't dwell on this matter. He propped up his chin and looked at the large pile of items. He still didn't quite believe it and asked, "Are these used to make keys?" She thought that the key would be a very small one, but in the end, Fu Wang said that he wanted to make a key, but he came up with so many things.
"Yes, it will be done soon. Chu Yu, take a rest." Fu Wang rotated his wrist and flexed his knuckles. Under Chu Yu's dumbfounded and convinced gaze, he gradually assembled a somewhat strange table with those scattered parts. It would take at most an incense stick's worth of time. Shu Yu silently looked at Fu Wang's hand and then looked at her own. Finally, she retracted her hand into her sleeve. She felt that she wouldn't be able to assemble this thing even if she used three years.
Moreover, this key looked very different from what she had imagined. She needed to redefine the word 'key'. Fu Wang held her right hand with his left hand and put it into an opening on the table. Chu Yu only felt a chill on her hand, and then she discovered that the bracelet on her wrist had disappeared.
The taste of finally regaining her freedom was wonderful. Chu Yu felt that she could run around the nearby mountain range a hundred times right now! However, she still remembered not to reveal her happy expression. Otherwise, her boss, who had a weak heart, would definitely think that she was happy to leave him.
Actually, how could Fu Wang not know what she was thinking? However, when he saw her trying hard not to reveal her happy expression, he couldn't help but laugh. He took out a bracelet that had been restored to its original state from a platform under the table.
"Take this. As for the 'key', it's not light either. Leave it with me."
"Okay." Chu Yu put away the bracelet and agreed without thinking much. After all, she didn't think that she would use the bracelet as a handcuff, so she didn't need the key. It could only be said that she was once again naive. She didn't see the kind smile on her boss's face.
This was the third day that the two of them were kept together by the bracelet. Last night, after the two of them watched a play, they went to find a place to wash up. After that, they unexpectedly found a suitable place to stay, so they spent the night there. After waking up early in the morning to make the key, the two of them still had to tidy up this place. After all, if there were no accidents, they would have to stay here for six months until they left the Arcane Realm.
The new place was a little special. It was upstream of the water source. There was a platform that was sunken inwards from the precipitous stone wall. It was sheltered from the wind and the sun. On one side, there were lush trees, and on the other, there was a clear gurgling stream. Beside the water, there was a field of blooming purple flowers. Beside the platform, there was an old maple tree. Red and yellow leaves fell all over the pond. It was really a beautiful scenery that was pleasing to the eyes.
Chu Yu, who was a layman, just looked at the scenery and felt that this place was not bad. Fu Wang dragged Chu Yu to carefully explore the surrounding feng shui spirit caves. From the stars in the sky, the surrounding vegetation, and the scattered stones around the half-open stone platform, he finally nodded in satisfaction. He set up a water, wood, and stone defensive formation that was based on water and wood, and earth, and then set up a wood element maze formation.
After a moment of thinking, he set up a Star Illumination Killing Formation under Chu Yu's gaze, combining the stars in the night sky and the position of the huge stones in the water beside the stone platform. This killing formation was probably the most powerful formation he had ever laid out in his research on formations, and it was only successful because the terrain was particularly suitable for it.
Chu Yu did not see anything special. He just thought that Fu Wang had casually set up two formations like before. However, Fu Wang had other considerations in his heart.
Fu Wang was a crazy gambler in his bones. Just like when he first met Shu Yu, he dared to test her based on his guesses after only meeting her twice. If he guessed wrongly, he was afraid that he would lose his life on the spot. However, he gambled correctly, so he walked on a completely different path.
Similarly, last night, when he heard that Penglai Prefecture had appeared and there was a Tranquil Golden Lotus inside, he decided to go to Penglai Prefecture to investigate. He placed a small gadget on his old acquaintance's body that would allow him to find her location.
The only problem now was how to hide Chu Yu from him and leave for such a long period of time. He did not plan to take Chu Yu with him. Although Chu Yu's ability was very good now, Penglai Prefecture had disappeared for thousands of years. He did not know whether its sudden appearance was real or fake. The situation inside was unknown. He did not want to take Chu Yu to take risks and see her injured.
When he heard the news, Fu Wang was immediately moved. Then, he began to plan to seize the key to Penglai Prefecture. However, from the beginning to the end, he did not think that Chu Yu would risk her life to go with him. He did not even want Chu Yu to know about this matter.
He could only go alone. Moreover, he had to appease Chu Yu and let her stay here. In fact, Fu Wang was not at ease leaving her here alone. Even though he knew that Chu Yu's current ability was enough to protect herself in the Secret Territory.
After thinking about it, Fu Wang still set up this killing formation to protect this place. If he … had an accident and could not come back, Chu Yu would be here alone. Even if she encountered an accident, she would have an extra layer of protection.
If he had really died there, he would just take it that he had willingly made a loss-making deal. Without his entanglement and scheming, Shu Yu might be living a better life now. If he was lucky enough to come back, he would certainly not let go of Chu Yu. He would definitely entangle her until he died.
Chu Yu did not know about Fu Wang's complicated thoughts. She tidied up the space on the platform, put the furniture out, and sat on a big stone to play with water. She fiddled with the water with her hands and looked very relaxed.
However, at the moment, she was not relaxed in her heart, because she was thinking about a very troublesome problem. — — How could she hide from the scheming Boss Fu Wang and leave alone for a period of time?
Chu Yu remembered the scene she accidentally saw last night and the words she heard. Penglai Prefecture and the Tranquil Golden Lotus. She had accidentally read a book about strange objects in the library of Tianxin Island before. It described the Tranquil Golden Lotus.
The book said that the Tranquil Golden Lotus was a natural spiritual object. It could change one's innate bone structure, which was equivalent to reshaping the body. It could make the blood of purebred monsters purer and closer to the ancient monsters. It could make mixed monsters become purebred monsters with strong blood. It could make half-monsters get rid of their innate mixed roots and no longer be limited by their lifespan.
At that time, she thought that if Boss could get the Tranquil Golden Lotus, he would be very happy. Although he had never told her about his unwillingness to be born weak and had always been calm, Chu Yu knew very well that Boss was not such a simple man. He had a deep obsession. Chu Yu was a girl who had read the original novel. She knew him far better than Fu Wang thought!
Chu Yu did not say anything at that time, but she had been thinking about this matter in her heart. She saw that Fu Wang did not respond. She thought that Fu Wang probably did not know what the Tranquil Golden Lotus was. After all, the Qing family he was in before should not have hidden such an ancient book. For her, this was the best. She could go to Penglai Prefecture without telling Boss.
In Chu Yu's heart, Boss was still a weak and fragile handsome man who needed to be taken care of. She just did not know what expression she would have if she knew that Boss had read most of the books in the library of Tianxin Island.
