"My other work - online game 'Dream Reality' is being updated continuously, hope those who haven't seen it go take a look, even if you've already seen it, go back and walk through it again, savor the flavor... Hehe... no pressure, I just hope so."

  ————————

  I took over the purple crystal card and asked faintly: "Such a good house, how much money is it? You must tell me a specific number!"

  "What? Want it back?" Bing Yu said with a sly smile.

  I solemnly wore the icy rain, and seriously said: "If it weren't for You Lian, I absolutely wouldn't accept your gift, but for You Lian's sake, I'll have to accept your kindness. However... I won't not repay you, no matter how much money, I will pay you back!"

  Bing Yu smiled slightly and said seriously, "There are many things that are worthless. A mansion is just a material thing, it's not worth anything else, only the friendship between us is valuable!"

  She paused for a moment, and then Bing Yu's eyes sparkled with amusement as she said: "And... didn't you promise to help me forge an unparalleled divine sword? If you can really forge it for me, that would be worth everything. Hehe... I'm not giving it to you for free, you don't owe me, do you want me to owe you instead?"

  Looking at me seriously, Bing Yu continued: "To be honest, after seeing your extraordinary forging skills, I really want you to personally forge a weapon for me. However...I don't want to owe anyone else either, so...this mansion can be considered as my little reward!"

  I resolutely shook my head and said lightly, "No... that won't do. It would take a year to forge an extraordinary divine sword for you, and even if you sold it, you wouldn't get enough money to buy this mansion!"

  Whoosh!

  The blue spirit sword of Bing Yu flew out again, and looking at the treasured sword flipping in the air, Bing Yu smiled and said: "Guess... when I had the number one blacksmith on the continent forge this weapon, how much money did I spend?"

  I shook my head in dismay, this was simply impossible to guess, who knew how much it would be worth? A thousand? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand?

  "The forging of this weapon took the continent's top blacksmith three years, and he charged me a forging fee that could buy two mansions like this!"

  Ah!

  I was stunned and my mouth agape, looking at Ice Rain in disbelief. I simply didn't dare to believe that this was real. Could a single sword really be sold for so much money? It was truly unbelievable!

  Seeing my shocked face, Bing Yu explained: "Actually... making and selling swords like you do now won't sell for a high price. If you want to make money, you can look for great swordsmen around your level of skill and custom-make a sword for them. That way, your reward will be astronomical!"

  Zan Tan shook his head in admiration, "Ice Rain is really too cunning, who would have thought of such a method?" However, it's true that this way can indeed sell for the highest price.

  "So... you don't have to be shy about taking this mansion either, just as long as you put your heart into helping me forge the treasure sword..."

  When I heard Ice Rain's words, my expression turned serious and I said to him solemnly: "Ice Rain... for me, the treasured swords I forge are like my children, each one infused with all my spirit. I absolutely won't spend more spirit just because it's a sword forged for you, because... every single weapon is a work of my whole heart and soul!"

  Bing Yu looked at me with admiration and exclaimed: "I now finally understand why you're so formidable, because... you take every matter so seriously, so persistently. This is something I must learn from you."

  Alas...

  Raising my head slightly, I gaze at the vast sky and murmur: "On the battlefield, every minute, every second, requires you to put in all your effort to face it. Any slight negligence or disrespect will make you regret it on the spot. A lifetime is not allowed to have even a little slackness or sloppiness!"

  Ice rain's eyes shone brightly as she gazed at the young man in front of her, who was like a puzzle. The things he learned today were too precious, and his seriousness about everything was such a valuable experience!

  Long ago, there was a high-ranking monk who had attained enlightenment. When others asked him... how did you attain enlightenment so quickly?

  The monk replied: "When I eat, I eat; when I sleep, I sleep; when I chant, I chant. That's all."

  At first glance, these words seem like nonsense, but... if you think deeply about them, you'll discover the profound meaning they contain!

  Let's just say when I was on Earth, everyone was sitting in the classroom taking classes, but... how many people were actually paying attention during class? Maybe... they were thinking about tonight's TV show, or thinking about leveling up their game to a certain level tonight, or thinking about getting intimate with some girl after school, or maybe, thinking about what would happen next in Lao Yun's book tonight?(Reader: Who is Lao Yun? Author: *sweat*)

  Everything is taken seriously, this sounds like a slogan, but... if you really do it according to the content of this sentence, you will find... everything, originally so simple.

  Attend class seriously, play games seriously, chase girls seriously, read Lao Yun's books seriously, work and rest in combination... it's hard to think of a way out! (Reader jumps out again and shouts: Oh my god! Who the hell is this Lao Yun?! Author: *sweats profusely*)

  Under the accompaniment and introduction of Ice Rain, we entered the interior of the castle. The internal structure can be roughly summarized in one word - magnificent!

  Don't get it wrong, it's not the kind of luxury that bursts out, but rather the ancient imperial palace-like luxury. Every corner, you can discover the ingenious design, every structure is a masterpiece of inspiration!

  In the entire building, there are 14 maids and 27 laborers. However... Bing Yu told me that he will be taking away a few women soon, they were carefully selected by him. Since I don't want them, leaving them here would be a waste, might as well let him have them cheaply.

  Finally... in front of a delicate room door, the icy rain awkwardly stopped, looked at me with embarrassment, and gently pushed open the door...

  Suddenly... a wave of fragrant feminine aura wafted over, and upon opening his eyes, he saw more than ten elegant women with beautiful faces either sitting or standing or reclining by the door, looking at him.

  Honestly, they are all so beautiful, so beautiful that I can't breathe, even more beautiful than the elegant and lovely one beside me. Each and every one of them is elegant and lovely, so beautiful that it takes my breath away. Most importantly, they all exude an aura of mature women, with every move captivating men's souls!

  Bing Yu smiled and beckoned to the beauties, instantly... all the women stood up, facing the door with gentle courtesy, and said in unison: "Welcome back, sir..."

  I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body, but looking at Bing Yu, he had a very pleased expression, puffed out his chest and hummed: "En... everyone pack up, let's go with me..."

  A dozen or so women, although with a puzzled expression, still obediently turned around and started packing up. In just a moment, they all stood in front of Bing Yu, looking at her. They didn't have much luggage either, just a few pieces of clothing.

  Bing Yu leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "These are all the best pieces I've collected over the years, do you really want to keep two of them to accompany you?"

  He faintly shook his head. From the intimacy between this kid and these women, as well as Ice Rain, it was clear that he must have had some kind of relationship with them. I didn't want...

  But... Ice Rain's magnanimous attitude still gave me a good impression, so I smiled and declined: "Forget it, I think I'll just let you have them. Seeing how much these girls care about you, I won't take them away from you. You can take them all with you. If I want them in the future, I can always collect more!"

  Bing Yu smiled and nodded at me and You Leng, then said with a sly smile: "In that case, I won't disturb your rest. I'll go over there and settle these women down!"

  Bing Yu turned to me, his face sincere: "Brother, are we still having roasted gazelle meat tonight? Hehe... can I bring the ladies along to try some?"

  Helplessly furrowing my brow, I said to Bing Yu in a low voice: "It's okay if it's okay, but the remaining Wind Goat is not much, with so many people, I'm afraid..."

  Before I could finish speaking, Bing Yu cut in and said: "Don't worry, there are plenty of materials in the storage room of my Cold Spring. When I come over, I'll bring them with me. You just prepare the ingredients and charcoal fire, and you can show off your skills!"

  I nodded slightly and smiled, "Alright then... let's just say that. After you've settled them down later, hurry back as soon as possible, I'll prepare the other formalities here!"

  The woman with a dozen or so fluttering ribbons on her hair left, looking at his obviously childish movements, and then looking at the mature women behind her, I couldn't help but shake my head in amusement, completely unable to connect them together.

  But... I'm not doubting his ability in that regard, from the expressions of those women looking at him, it's clear he still has some skills, otherwise... there should be some resentment in the eyes of those women, heh heh...
