Supreme Crazy Wife

Chapter 329: Eliminating Evil for the People (5)

“Xue’er, guess which one he will choose?” Freak, sitting not far away, asked curiously.

“I guess he won’t choose any,” Leng Ruoxue said understandingly.

“Why?” Freak didn’t believe that Old Zao wouldn’t choose. After all, an artificer’s furnace was as important as their life to an artificer.

“Because he won’t be able to decide! Can’t you see how conflicted he is?” Leng Ruoxue said with some amusement.

“Uh, that’s true.” Freak nodded in realization.

At this moment, Old Zao’s voice sounded. “Lass! Help me choose one! I don’t know which to choose. Boohoo…” He was dazzled.

“Just take any one. Any one is better than the one you had.” Leng Ruoxue sighed lightly.

“Alright, I want this then.” Old Zao chose a beautiful one.

“Since you’ve chosen, let’s continue refining artifacts!” Leng Ruoxue urged.

“Okay,” Old Zao answered. Holding his new furnace, he left the utility room with Leng Ruoxue and Freak.

The three of them returned to Old Zao’s artificing workshop without delay.

“Lass! Light a fire for me again!” Old Zao looked at his new furnace lovingly as though he was looking at his beloved.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue released another small flame at Old Zao’s request and lit the furnace. This time, the furnace finally withstood the test and didn’t melt.

After the furnace was lit, Old Zao waited patiently for it to heat up. When the temperature reached his requirements, he immediately threw the black crystal ore core into the furnace. After a few minutes, it melted bit by bit…

After the black crystal ore core melted into a black liquid, Old Zao threw the other materials he had prepared into the furnace one by one…

Leng Ruoxue and Freak stood quietly by the side, appreciating Old Zao’s art of artificing.

…

Meanwhile, the city lord’s mansion was in a mess.

In the main hall of the city lord’s mansion…

A beautiful middle-aged woman was crying while half-kneeling on the ground. She hugged a middle-aged man’s thigh tightly and wailed, “Husband, Mudan is missing. Boohoo… Hurry up and send people to look for her!”

“Stop crying. You’re annoying,” the ordinary-looking middle-aged man roared impatiently. He was the city lord of Windless City, Zhu Binghuan.

“Husband, Mudan is your most beloved daughter and the most promising daughter of our Zhu family. She hasn’t returned for so long. Aren’t you worried at all?” the middle-aged woman cried.

“Of course I’m worried. I’ve already sent people to look for her!” Zhu Binghuan said with a slight headache. Alas! This daughter of his was good in every way, but she was too lustful. Whenever she saw a beautiful man, she wanted to snatch him home. She already had eighteen husbands, but she still felt that it wasn’t enough. He really couldn’t do anything about this. The only thing he could do was to try his best to satisfy his daughter’s lust. After all, Mudan was the Zhu family’s greatest hope!

He knew that his life would be like this for the rest of his life. Although he couldn’t convert his spiritual power and become a mystic, he had become a city lord with his connections with the Sun family at the very least.

However, outsiders could only see his glory, but no one knew his difficulties. Even though he was the lord of a city on the surface, he was only a dog of the Sun family. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of the Sun family. Therefore, he had always hoped that there would be someone outstanding among his children. So after finally producing a daughter with talent in artificing, he really spoiled this daughter to the heavens. After all, his position in the Sun family improved a lot by having a relationship with the Artificer Association.

“Husband, it’s been so long, but we still haven’t found Mudan. Do you think something has happened to our daughter?” the middle-aged woman said worriedly.

“Shut up! Don’t jinx it!” Zhu Binghuan roared. The future of their Zhu family counted on this daughter! Therefore, he would never allow anything to happen to her. Moreover, he didn’t think that anyone would dare to bully his precious daughter in Windless City.

At this moment, the steward came to report. “Master, the people we sent out to look for Miss have returned, but we didn’t find her.”

Zhu Binghuan raised his eyes slightly and asked, “Have you searched all of Windless City?”

“We’ve searched, but we didn’t find her. However, someone saw Miss chasing after a man,” the steward said carefully.

“Chasing a man? Which family’s man did she chase after?” Zhu Binghuan roared furiously. This damn girl was really troublesome. They were worried about her at home, but she ran out to chase a man.

“It seems to be a man from another city.” The steward told him the situation that his subordinate had reported to him.

“What does that man look like? Has anyone seen him?” Zhu Binghuan asked.

“He’s very handsome. Master, according to the description of the informers, I ordered people to draw a picture of him. I believe that as long as we find him, we will definitely be able to find Miss,” the steward reminded.

“Easy for you to say. Where can we find a man that’s not native?” Zhu Binghuan roared furiously.

“Master, Windless City is your territory. We will find that man as long as he hasn’t left Windless City,” the steward comforted.

“Makes sense. Take the portrait and look around the inns in the city!” Zhu Binghuan ordered.

“Yes, Master. I’ll go now.” The steward received the order and left.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Bracelet…

In Old Zao’s artificing workshop, Leng Ruoxue and Freak were staring at Old Zao’s artificing when Qing Jue’s voice suddenly sounded in Leng Ruoxue’s head.

“Big Sister, people are coming from outside,” Qing Jue reminded via voice transmission.

“Oh? Who?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“Seems to be from the city lord’s mansion,” Qing Jue replied.

“Okay, I understand,” Leng Ruoxue said. But she couldn’t help guessing in her heart why the people from the city lord’s mansion were here. Could they already know that I killed Zhu Mudan? Impossible! There was no one on the street at the time, and even the owners closed their shops in fright after seeing Zhu Mudan. And the only witness accidentally swore an oath.
