The Crazy Son-In-Law

That night, Xiao Shun thought about things until late into the night before finally falling into a deep sleep.

He had a dream where he seemed to arrive at a strange place, where there were incredibly powerful cultivators everywhere and fierce, brutal beasts all around…

In the morning, a ray of morning light refracted onto Xiao Shun’s face through the window glass. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he struggled to get out of bed.

“Strange, why did I have such a dream?”

Scratching his messy hair, his eyes held some confusion.

Suddenly, Xiao Shun’s gaze locked onto the small chip on the bedside table!

“Could this thing be trying to remind me of something?”

He reached out and picked up the Dark Gold, looking at it for a moment.

After a while, Xiao Shun shook his head with a wry smile. “Forget it, I’ll just let it be! I should go see if the engraving knife has finished hardening.”

After washing up, he came to the living room, where Zhu Que had already been waiting for him for some time.

Xiao Shun smiled slightly. “Oh, good morning!”

Zhu Que nodded, looking towards the storage room not far away.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun joked, “What an impatient one.”

With a laugh, he beckoned Zhu Que to walk with him towards the storage room.

The two molds now sat quietly on the table. Xiao Shun reached out and uncovered one of them.

Instantly, a glittering golden small knife appeared before their eyes.

A shimmering stream of light swirled along the blade, shining brilliantly in the morning sunlight!

Xiao Shun laughed heartily, “Haha, perfect!”

With that, he took the golden knife out of the mold and swung it a couple times in the air.

The sound of it cutting through the air rang out, showing this knife’s sharpness!

After testing it for a bit, Xiao Shun handed the knife to Zhu Que beside him, whose gaze was burning hot: “See how it feels.”

This cold and ruthless girl would only reveal such an expression when facing things she was interested in!

With the golden knife in hand, Zhu Que wiped it lovingly, feeling the strange energy contained within as her fingers brushed over the spirit patterns.

“So this is a spirit pattern?” She couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s right!” Xiao Shun smiled and nodded, then continued, “But the spirit patterns on here are high-level spirit patterns. You can’t engrave them yet. I spent quite some effort just to make this mold.”

As she listened, Zhu Que firmly recorded the lines etched into the blade in her mind, planning to try engraving some patterns herself later in private.

She was a competitive person. In her eyes, there were no troubles in this world, only people too afraid of hardship!

“Here, these are for you.” Xiao Shun casually handed her a stack of diagrams he had hastily drawn last night, thinking he would first give this impatient girl some simple patterns to practice with.

Then he added, “I’ll have Yao Cen buy some stone slabs or wooden posts for you to practice engraving these spirit patterns with the knife, so you can get familiar first.”

Zhu Que nodded indifferently, then carefully put away the engraving knife and diagrams.

“What’s the other one for?”

Zhu Que pointed at the other mold, looking at Xiao Shun curiously.

“Little Que, one shouldn’t be so greedy!”

Xiao Shun smiled oddly, raising his eyebrows, and got a cold look from Zhu Que in response.

Then he said seriously, “Ahem, this is a gift I’m preparing for someone.”

Seeing Zhu Que looking at him suspiciously, he realized she must have misunderstood, so he quickly supplemented, “I made a dagger from the remaining gold spirit liquid as a gift for Duan Jia, that kid.”

As the martial arts king, Duan Jia was surely deeply knowledgeable about close combat weapons like daggers.

And having a weapon made from gold spirit stone would prevent him from being so helpless against opponents with guardian qi.

Zhu Que said in surprise, “The engraving knife can also be used as a weapon?”

In her view, this knife was only for engraving spirit patterns and she had never associated it with being a weapon.

Seeing the girl’s bewildered expression, Xiao Shun smugly stroked his hair and said proudly, “Little Que, your ability to think one step ahead still needs improvement!”

Zhu Que’s brows knitted together, clearly unable to stand Xiao Shun’s casual arrogance.

If it were anyone else talking to her like this, their blood would have splattered five steps away already!

Sensing the impending outburst of killing intent, Xiao Shun immediately realized this girl was about to explode. So he stopped while he was ahead and explained seriously with a straight face:

“I told you before, gold spirit stone is an extremely durable metal, much denser than even diamond. Just take that iron door in the Sha Hai treasure vault – with just a light tap, it would definitely be pierced through!”

He vividly demonstrated a stabbing motion, matching his sinister smile for a vivid depiction!

Seeing Zhu Que still seeming a bit skeptical, Xiao Shun felt his pride take a huge blow.

So without another word, he directly took out the dagger from the mold, held it up inverted, and lightly released his fingers.

“Shink!”

The dagger stabbed deeply into the floor, leaving just a short stub of the hilt.

This time, Zhu Que was shocked.

Xiao Shun thoroughly enjoyed her expression now, casually saying:

“I didn’t apply any external force to the dagger just now, only let gravity take hold, yet it already had this effect. Just imagine what would happen with a full-powered strike!”

Hearing this, Zhu Que took out the engraving knife again, cherishing it in her hands like a priceless treasure!

With a smile, Xiao Shun pulled the embedded dagger back out of the floor and found a box to store the extremely sharp weapon.

“Spirit pattern engraving is an extremely powerful auxiliary skill. Even if you can’t use it for now, a knife engraved with spirit patterns can still provide you tremendous assistance!”

He gently patted Zhu Que’s shoulder and slowly walked out of the storage room.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The function of spirit pattern engraving was unbelievably powerful. Not only could it endow bullets with unmatched kinetic energy, it could also make firearms and any weapon more formidable!

Of course, this already touched upon high-level spirit patterns, which the novice Zhu Que could not grasp yet.

So Xiao Shun avoided the complexities and simply gave the girl an introductory explanation, preparing her mentally for now!

“Come eat breakfast, I made millet porridge this morning!”

Long San’s mother and Hu’s grandmother were sitting at the table eating breakfast. Seeing Xiao Shun come over, Long San’s mother quickly got up to greet him.
