Chapter 608: Impenetrable Defense
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
One morning, Tang Hao came to Dragonrock village.
The appearance of Dragonrock Village had transformed once more. There were more new houses, more new cars, and some gentrification.
In the past, the village was especially poor, but now, it was considered upper-middle class.
When the car drove in, it attracted the villagers’ attention.
“Ah! It’s Lil Hao!”
They were very familiar with the Audi A8.
Tang Hao stopped in front of his grandmother’s house and got out of the car. Immediately, many villagers came up and warmly greeted Tang Hao.
After exchanging greetings with the villagers and greeting his grandparents and other relatives, Tang Hao entered the mountain.
Once he was out of view of the others, he picked up his speed and started running. In about ten minutes, he entered the valley that was deep in the mountains.
The valley was filled with the fragrance of wine.
The golden Liquor Tree stood there. It was an especially eye-catching sight.
Not far away was the pond to produce spirit jade.
The pond water was deep red. It was made from the blood of all kinds of exotic beasts, mixed with spiritual items such as lingzhi and ginseng.
The jade pieces were soaked in the pond.
Tang Hao came to the side of the small pond and inspected the jade pieces. He selected several pieces and put them into his bag. He added some more ingredients to the pond and filled ten barrels of divine liquor before leaving.
He went to the company and stayed there until the afternoon. In the evening, he made dinner and ate with Qin Xiangyi. After that, Tang Hao then began to craft Artifacts.
For the past few days, he had been preparing for that.
The Artifacts he made came in sets, just like talisman formations.
If a specific arrangement of jade talismans was called a talisman formation, a specific arrangement of Artifacts would be called an Artifact formation. Its power was far greater than individual Artifacts.
He worked nonstop until dawn when the final jade pendant was finished.
Tang Hao put the jade pendant down and let out a long sigh.
After all thirty-six jade pendants had been completed, the next step was to bury them.
The Artifact formation was used for defense. In the past, Tang Hao had buried many defensive Artifacts around his house. Now, it was time to upgrade them.
There might be no danger now, but it was always good to prepare for a rainy day.
He planned to craft a few more formations. He not only wanted to protect his own house but also the entire Celestial Foothill Gardens. He wanted to shield the area with indestructible walls.
In the future, he planned to craft several formations for Qin Xiangyi’s new factory and Haotian Plaza, which were still under construction.
He explored the area around his house, dug deep pits, and buried the jade pendants inside. There were thirty-six of them, which corresponded to the number of Tiangang gods in Taoism.
After burying the jade pendants, Tang Hao clapped his hands and tested them a little before returning to his house.
Qin Xiangyi’s birthday would be in a few days.
Tang Hao accompanied her back to Greenwillow village, where they held her birthday party. He invited Liu Dajun, Qin Gang, and the others.
In a few days, it would be Christmas.
The couple was not very enthusiastic about Western festivities, and they celebrated it without fanfare.
After Christmas, Tang Hao stayed in Westridge for another two days before returning to Provincial City.
He had stayed in Westridge for about half a month.
In that period, the trailer became more widespread and attracted more attention. The Weibo account had accrued more than five hundred thousand followers.
They received a lot of praise, but at the same time, there was also a lot of criticism.
At Tianze Entertainment, Bing Yao’s first album had been produced and was going to be released soon.
They left at noon and arrived at Provincial City at about three o’clock.
Tang Hao sent Han Yutong home and went to Haotian Pictures.
It was almost eight o’clock when he got home.
Tang Hao parked his car, walked out of the underground parking lot, and was about to go upstairs. He looked at the entrance to his apartment and was surprised.
There was a figure wandering there as if waiting for someone.
The light at the entrance was dim, outlining a graceful silhouette.
Her back was facing Tang Hao, and her head was lowered. She shivered occasionally in the cold.
Tang Hao’s footsteps paused, and he was stunned for a long time.
At that moment, she turned around, lowered her head, and walked over. “Why aren’t you back yet?” She muttered.
As she spoke, she shivered again.
She wore a dress, revealing her slender legs. She was obviously not dressed for the weather.
That made her seem even more pitiful.
Tang Hao’s gaze softened, and he felt tenderness in his heart. He did not say a word and walked toward her.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, she lifted her head and exclaimed in surprise.
That pair of beautiful eyes instantly lit up, and she revealed a bright and beautiful smile.
“You’re back!” She called out sweetly.
She was startled when she saw that Tang Hao did not say anything, and his expression was stiff. The smile on her face froze, seemingly at a loss.
‘Did I come at a bad time?’ That was her first thought.
Her mind began to wander. It was as if her entire body had been immersed in an ice cellar.
Tang Hao remained silent. He walked up to her, and a garment suddenly appeared in his hand. It was a fur coat, which he draped over her body.
She was startled again.
The coat on her body was unbelievably warm. In just a short while, it had completely dispelled the coldness on her body.
She no longer trembled. Her pale face regained some color, and she felt some warmth in her heart.
“How long have you been waiting?” Tang Hao asked.
“Not… not very long…” She stammered.
“Not very long?”
“I came at six o’clock…” she lowered her head and averted Tang Hao’s gaze.
Tang Hao was surprised. It had been almost two hours past six o’clock.
‘She stood outdoors for two hours dressed in that? She must have suffered!’
“Silly girl! Don’t you know how to call me?” Tang Hao said helplessly.
“I… I want to give you a surprise!” She stammered.
Tang Hao was speechless.
Liu Bingyao had asked him the day before about the time he would be back home. He replied that he would be back in the afternoon, not thinking too much about it. He did not expect that she would be waiting for him outside his apartment.
If he knew, he would have gotten home earlier.
“Silly!” Tang Hao shook his head and smiled helplessly. “Let’s go in and have a seat!”
Liu Bingyao shook her head. “No… I have something to do later. I need to go home and stream. The popularity charts will refresh tomorrow, and I need to work hard.”
“I see!”
“This is for you. It’s my album. I told you that I want you to be the first to listen to it.”
She handed a small bag to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded and took it.
Both of them fell silent. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
“Then… I’ll be going!”
She prepared to take off her coat as she said that.
“Don’t! This is for you! It’s new,” Tang Hao said hurriedly.
“This… is very expensive, right?” She hesitated.
“Not at all. Take it! I’ll send you home!” Tang Hao said.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Tang Hao into the car.
