With these words, the young master Long Baobao waved his little fists and pulled up his sleeves, showing full enthusiasm. Then he went into the weapon-making room temporarily set by Ye Lingyue to work hard on weapon-making.
Seeing that the little boy had walked afar, Lan Cai’er could not help coughing several times.
“Lingyue, I must say that you are too tricky. Why do you keep on pushing such a young kid?”
On that day, the young master Long Baobao was slapped in the face by Ye Lingyue and kept crying aloud for a long while until he fell asleep. After waking up, the little boy had completely changed.
The originally sticky and proud little boy had turned into another person.
Moreover, he obeyed Ye Lingyue absolutely unconditionally.
He promised Ye Lingyue to make 5 spiritual artifacts for her every day in compensation for the three times credits which he and Steward Huang owed Ye Lingyue and Disha.
For this task, the Alliance of Mercenaries promised to give the two groups 100,000 credits as remuneration. The failure to accomplish the task meant that Disha would get nothing.
Then Ye Lingyue believed that Long Baobao must compensate them for heir loss. Then the payment would be 300,000 credits.
Long Baobao would made 1 spiritual artifact each day and get 30 credits in return. This meant the little boy needed to make at least 10,000 spiritual artifacts within a certain grade. Since there were 365 days in a year, Long Baobao might have to keep working until he turned 18 in order to pay off the debt.
In addition to earning the credits of Long Baobao, Ye Lingyue also opened to the public a small shop for weapon-making which traded in purifying and customizing all kinds of spiritual artifacts.
The amazing talent of Long Baobao had attracted a great number of customers just within fewer than 3 days of the opening.
Just in order to get a spiritual artifact, numerous mercenary soldiers were willing to pay hundreds or even thousands of credits.
The benefits of the trading would all go to Ye Lingyue. In this case, she could almost win credits without doing anything.
On the list of personal credits for mercenaries, the ranking of “Ugly Girl Black Moon” went up all the way. If this trend continued, Ye Lingyue was quite likely to rank 1st on the list in place of “Treasure Collector” Bo Qing by the time of next spring.
How pitiful Long Baobao was! After doing the calculation, Lan Cai’er instantly felt that Ye Lingyue was an absolute profiteer.
“Elder sister, you are not right. I am doing all these for the sake of Long Baobao. He is different from ordinary warriors and master alchemists. He possessed the Star Energy at a young age, hence almost no cultivation in the spiritual and Yuan energy. The Five Elements Spiritual Melting he has learnt is also quite special. It is a unique martial skill aimed at cultivating the body. The more spiritual artifacts he makes, the more cultivation his body and internal organs will get. So it’s good for him to make as many spiritual artifacts as possible.” Ye Lingyue spoke as calmly as usual.
Long Baobao needed to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Melting and there was still a long time to go before the World’s Top Weapon-Maker started. In this case, it was good for the little boy to keep making spiritual artifacts.
Moreover, the news of Long Baobao’s death had long since got around. Although Ye Lingyue was able to disguise the boy’s appearance and make him live as ordinary people in the City of Mercenaries, she was afraid that Long Sixuan might keep some spies in the city. So it was better to prevent Long Baobao from going out as much as possible.
“Okay, I admit defeat. Sister, since the little boy now obeys you unconditionally, could you ask him to make a spiritual melting artifact for me? I am not that greedy and only need a Qiankun Bag.” Lan Cai’er had been coveting the pig head Qiankun Bag of Long Baobao for long.
She wanted a Qiankun Bag even more, since there were too many things to carry when she was out carrying out tasks.
But such a valuable item could not be bought on the market. It was even rarely seen in Wanbao Cave.
If Long Baobao was not that pitiful, if there was no limit on his pig head Qiankun Bag, Lan Cai’er would turn into a scary sister and take away his money bag.
“Aren’t you greedy? A Qiankun Bag cannot be got easily. Since there is no Qiankun Zijin Bamboo, the little boy cannot make the bag for you even if he agrees to. Let me show you a way out. There must be Qiankun Bags in the Exchange Office of Yan City. You can try to form a good relationship with Yan Jiu. As long as he is happy, he might give you a discount and let you get a Qiankun Bag in exchange.” Ye Lingyue smiled.
“Bah! Who will try to please that scalawag?” Mentioning Yan Jiu, Lan Cai’er blushed suspiciously.
Only after that did Lan Cai’er learn from Ye Lingyue that the vice-captain Sha was Yan Jiu, the man with a silver mask in the No. 9 Yan City.
How come the cool and handsome man looked quite serious in Yan City but tuned that playful in the City of Mercenaries, as if the whole person had changed?
Lan Cai’er cursed.
These days, she had been trying to avoid Yan Jiu except when carrying out tasks, in case that the guy might touch her unscrupulously.
“By the way, sister, what do you think of Yan Jiu? What happened between you and Captain Dao has long since come to an end.” Ye Lingyue actually had a good impression of Yan Jiu.
Ye Lingyue felt that even more after she learnt from Wu Chong that Yan Jiu had never had any romantic relations with any women and that he treated Lan Cai’er quite differently.
This fact alone had improved Yan Jiu’s image in Ye Lingyue’s heart.
“We have different paths. I... I don’t deserve him.” Lan Cai’er looked a bit gloomy when saying that.
The man Dao Ge had already tortured her to death emotionally.
“You just keep on teaching me. What is going on among you, Wu Chong and Feng Shen?” Lan Cai’er curled her lips.
Lan Cai’er was far more surprised to learn that Captain Di was Wu Chong than to learn that Sha was Yan Jiu.
Wu Chong was quite a big name on the whole continent.
For the sake of Ye Lingyue, Wu Chong would rather serve as a soldier in the City of Mercenaries. Such a fact would shock the whole continent extremely fiercely.
Lan Cai’er herself preferred to have Feng Shen as her brother-in-law than Wu Chong.
The temperament and appearance could be left aside. In terms of identity alone, Feng Shen was much more reliable than Wu Chong.
Feng Shen had no parents and treated Ye Lingyue wholeheartedly.
Few on the continent knew about Wu Chong’s birth background. One point was worth mentioning. As the Ghost Emperor, head of the biggest secret force on the continent, Wu Chong had too many enemies throughout the continent.
Moreover, if the just forces including 3 sects and 9 factions knew about the romantic relationship between Ye Lingyue and Wu Chong, they might jointly launch an attack.
Lan Cai’er had witnessed Ye Lingyue facing all kinds of trials and tribulations all the way. She did not want her younger sister to suffer any more grievances or criticism.
Ye Lingyue actually knew about Lan Cai’er’s worries. But even she herself could not figure out who she really loved.
When the two girls were having their worries, a person walked into the small shop of weapon-making.
