Chapter 1350: Just a Dream
After returning to the rune instrument manufacturing skill promotion region, Zhang Tie became a bit restless as he was not sure about Yan Feiqing's response after she woke up, whether she would accept it plainly or fight him to death like how he had dreamed or marry him like what was described in some knight novels...
Being very upset for 2 hours, he finally saw Yan Feiqing standing in the huge crystal Mongolian yurt.
Yan Feiqing looked as tall as Zhang Tie. In Zhang Tie's clothes, she looked pretty charming. However, her face had been cold once again while her dismal qi felt like how Zhang Tie saw her for the first time.
At the sight of her, Zhang Tie felt a bit embarrassed as he didn't know what to say. However, Yan Feiqing's coldness made him hesitated as he was afraid that this woman would lose her temper towards him. Scratching his head, Zhang Tie then said, "Erm...are you going to rape me before killing? I was actually a bit passive as for what happened last night..."
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the icy look of Yan Feiqing was shattered instantly while being replaced by a faint blush. Closely after that, she glared at Zhang Tie as she said icily, "Nothing happened last night. You must be dreaming. Am I clear?"
"Oh, I see, I see. It's just a dream..." Zhang Tie also told a lie with his eyes widely opened. As Yan Feiqing was still wearing his clothes, his words sounded especially unconvincing. However, as there were only 2 people inside this tower, now that they had agreed on that point, it was then just a dream.
"So why are you here?"
"I think there might be water for promoting rune instrument manufacturing skill. I'd like to see whether there's water here..." Yan Feiqing said calmly as her eye light passed over Zhang Tie and moved all the way towards the brook on the wilderness far behind Zhang Tie. The widest place of the brook was only 2-3 meters. Although the water was not deep, it was enough for one person to take a bath. "Please leave out of here. I will expropriate this place for the time being. I want to take a bath..."
"Oh, well, well..." Zhang Tie let out a sigh hurriedly in a pair of short pants. With a bit smile like a waiter in a restaurant, he said, "I will be your watchdog. I swear to beat anyone who dares peep at you to death. Last night...erm...it was too much...especially it was your first time to do that. You indeed need a bath. Then, you will feel cool all over..."
With eyes widely opened, Yan Feiqing gritted her teeth while her battle qi rose up as if she was going to attack him, "Roll out of here..."
Zhang Tie hurriedly escaped out of this crystal Mongolian yurt with hands on his head.
After exiting this place, Zhang Tie felt relaxed at once. Yan Feiqing's response was out of his imagination. If she could treat it as nothing had happened between them, Zhang Tie would feel much relaxed later on; otherwise, in this circumstance, if this woman always thought about chopping him into pieces, he would have a great headache. Even though he had the ability of a divine dominator, he couldn't kill this woman.
Although Yan Feiqing was taking a bath inside, she must be paying special attention to the entrance of this crystal Mongolian yurt. If she found that Zhang Tie was peeping at her, there would be hell to pay. Zhang Tie didn't mean to stir her up at this moment. However, out of curiosity, he still peeped inside using his lotus-flower eyes...
It felt like how he watched at Meng Shidao's semi-sage realm above Xuanyuan Hill. Under his lotus-flower eyes, he saw a picture that a beauty was taking a bath. Only after such a transient glance, Zhang Tie had remembered what happened between him and Yan Feiqing last night. His heart then palpitated and he was almost out of control. Zhang Tie then hurriedly closed his eyes. After a short while, he finally calmed down.
'Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie! You're so libertine! How could you peep at a woman taking a bath using your lotus-flower eyes? F*ck...'
Zhang Tie despised himself pretty much inside. After that, he just waited for Yan Feiqing to come out of there solemnly.
Yan Feiqing's bath lasted 2 hours.
Besides taking a bath, Yan Feiqing even washed Zhang Tie's clothes. After drying them up using her battle qi, she left in a wholly different manner.
"Erm...these clothes..." Zhang Tie pointed at his clothes which Yan Feiqing was wearing as he wanted to say that they fit her pretty well. Whereas, Zhang Tie swallowed his words back after hearing Yan Feiqing's reply.
"They're mine!" Yan Feiqing replied as she glared at Zhang Tie who looked poor only in a pair of short pants with a glassy-eyed expression like a queen. "From today on, except for this place and the cultivation platform, you're not allowed to visit anywhere in this tower without my consent. Additionally, I would expropriate this place at any time when you should leave here forwardly..."
After leaving her words, Yan Feiqing directly left while raising her head with rolled eyes before Zhang Tie made any response.
Zhang Tie finally understood that he should never reason with any women, 3-5 little girl or 300-500 shadow knight.
"It seems that all the women should be coaxed after their first time..." Zhang Tie muttered.
Soon after his words, an aggressive off-hand battle qi strike had been released towards him. If ordinary earth knights were struck by it, they would definitely spurt out blood. Zhang Tie hurriedly dodged away as he ran all the way towards that huge crystal Mongolian yurt without looking back, leaving words, "You're right. You're right. I will do as you said..."
...
After returning to the rune instrument manufacturing skill promotion region, Zhang Tie recovered his composure. When he thought about the furious strike of Yan Feiqing, he suddenly revealed a smile. Zhang Tie knew the real power of her full-strength strike. Given her strike, she only used 30% of her full strength. She was definitely not behaving maliciously. It indicated that she didn't hate him that much...
After thinking through it, Zhang Tie felt much better.
After coming to the bank of the brook where Yan Feiqing had just taken a bath, Zhang Tie observed it for a short while. He found that the water here was pretty limpid; however, it was only a bit deeper than 1m. It was available for taking a bath; however, it was a bit difficult for one to have a comfortable bath...
A whim suddenly occurred to his mind. Zhang Tie knew that a woman would definitely come here for the secondary bath if she knew that there was such a place; especially a woman like Yan Feiqing. A male knight might not take a bath for decades in a tower of time because he would not turn dirty; however, female knights especially Yan Feiqing would definitely not go without a bath for such a long time; especially being witnessed by a male knight, if he knew that she didn't take a bath for 6 decades, Yan Feiqing might even kill him.
Given the word "expropriation" mentioned by Yan Feiqing, she might want to take this place as a permanent bathtub later on.
"Whatever, I'm here to improve my rune instrument manufacturing skill. Why not make a template here? I'm always free here..." Zhang Tie muttered. After that, he started his renovation.
In a pair of short pants, Zhang Tie felt much convenient to work.
By renovating that brook, Zhang Tie started to check and comprehend what he had learned.
With iron tools and his great strength, Zhang Tie's efficiency increased by dozens of times than before. On the same day, Zhang Tie had found graphite clay and made his first crucible.
2 days later, Zhang Tie produced his first batch of steel material in crucible steelmaking method and made his first batch of steel tools. He then owned the first simple metal processing desk in this space.
During the 2 days, Zhang Tie ran out of the crystal Mongolian yurt to check Yan Feiqing's situation. After seeing 4 elements flickering over that high platform in the middle of that tower of time, Zhang Tie knew that Yan Feiqing had started to recover her wounds and was cultivating officially. Therefore, Zhang Tie became reassured.
With steel tools, Zhang Tie renovated the brook at a much greater speed. The place where Yan Feiqing took bath was relatively deeper and wider in the brook. Zhang Tie then made that place a ladder-shaped water pool covering 70-80 square meters.
All the impurities in the water pool had been moved out of there. After that, Zhang Tie paved the bottom of the water pool with fine sands and round cobbles that he got from other places. He even paved a path leading to the entrance of the crystal Mongolian yurt using the stones that he got from the bottom of the brook. He arranged the stones in the shape of plum blossom. After doing all that, Zhang Tie made a screen-shaped rockery using mud, sand and clay that he had prepared so that this water pool could be sheltered. Besides, Zhang Tie even moved some edgeless boulders ranging from 5 tons to over 10 tons to the bank so that people could rest or place clothes on them...
...
Yan Feiqing came to the crystal Mongolian yurt 1 month later. At the sight of considerate yet a bit coarse bath place which was utterly different than that she saw before, she was stunned...
"Don't think too much. I was just practicing my skills. I also like to be clean. I don't expect anything from you..." Zhang Tie had explained and ran out of there before Yan Feiqing asked.
Watching Zhang Tie running away, Yan Feiqing's mouth corners slightly raised...
