"So everyone is..."
After entering the room and seeing Gu Yue and Dai Yun'er inside, Na'er instantly thought of something and muttered under her breath.
"Na'er..."
"How did you get here?"
By now, Gu Yue had already gotten out of bed before the other entered. She looked at the white-haired girl not far away and asked softly.
Her little sister Na'er was so clever.
If she had stayed in bed, it wouldn't have been good if the other guessed something!
"Yeah."
Beside them, Dai Yun'er also seemed rather surprised and couldn't help asking as well.
"Me..."
Hearing this, Na'er hugged Tang Luochuan's arm, her face red, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Hmm?"
"No way..."
However, it was precisely Na'er's shy reaction that made Gu Yue freeze in surprise. This reaction, could it be...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes at Tang Luochuan. This bad guy even bullied Na'er!
Let go of Na'er, let her do it instead!
"It's my first time on Star Luo Continent, and my first time sleeping here. I couldn't fall asleep..."
"I wanted Brother Luo Chuan to stay with me for a while."
Na'er clung to Tang Luochuan beside her and said cutely.
"Eh?"
"Is Na'er not used to the bed? Since she hasn't slept here before, the first time would make it harder to fall asleep quickly."
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er beside them seemed to recall something and asked softly.
Because...
When she first went to Douluo Continent, it was like that too—tossing and turning, unable to sleep. In the end, she had to sit up and meditate to cultivate, and it wasn't until several days later that she could sleep peacefully.
"That's right, exactly like that."
Hearing this, Na'er nodded even more shyly. Not being able to sleep due to the unfamiliar bed felt like a shameful thing to her.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about meditating to cultivate.
But this time, her purpose in coming to Star Luo Continent was to have fun, to accompany Luo Chuan and see the sights here. She really didn't want to cultivate...
She had already cultivated very hard before! Now that she finally had a chance to rest, she didn't want to continue.
"So that's how it is..."
At this moment, Gu Yue's expression grew even more helpless.
She looked in Na'er's direction, lost in thought. If it was just that...
Then why was your face as red as a bubble tea pot!
She had thought that Na'er had come over with a red face because she wanted the same thing as her!
But then again, Na'er usually acted no different from before, so she probably hadn't been bullied by that scoundrel Luo Chuan yet.
Thinking of this, Gu Yue took a deep breath. That was good. If Na'er had already experienced it, then later...
Perhaps she'd be like Ye Hui and Yun'er, coming to share this time with her!
"Sister Gu Yue and Yun'er, did you two come here..."
"Because you couldn't sleep either?"
At this point, Na'er also looked up and asked softly, gazing at the two who had also appeared here.
Not long after the three left, just as Tang Luochuan lay in bed to rest properly...
A Space Rift appeared, and Gu Yue's figure emerged once again, pressing him down beneath her.
Now that her sisters had left, it was time...
For her to enjoy Luo Chuan all to herself.
However, this moment of initiative did not last long, for in the next instant, Tang Luochuan reflexively sat up and successfully swapped positions with her.
"Luo Chuan…"
"You bad person…"
Meeting his domineering gaze, Gu Yue let out a soft hum, her eyes slightly dazed as she murmured.
They remained awake through the night.
"…"
The next afternoon.
Star Luo City Forging Master Association.
At this moment, countless forging masters had gathered in the main hall, including many high-level masters.
At the center of the forging hall, a woman was fully immersed in her forging, becoming the focal point of attention for the numerous forging masters present.
Because… this was the moment when one of the top three forging masters in the forging world was breaking through to Level Seven.
This person was none other than Mu Xi.
Back when she was on the giant ship, the bottleneck in her forging had already been on the verge of breaking. She never expected that her breakthrough to Level Seven would occur here on the Star Luo Continent.
As her hammering speed gradually increased, her already loosened bottleneck grew increasingly fragile.
"…"
Among the crowd, Tang Luochuan also appeared not far from the center of the hall, accompanied by Gu Yue, Na'er, Dai Yun'er, and the others.
Lin Yuhan and her master, whom they had encountered before, were also present.
Today's event was one worth paying attention to.
Prior to this, Mu Xi had remained stagnant at Level-Six Blacksmith for three long years. Last year, even Wu Lin, who was younger than her, had achieved the rank of Level-Seven Saint Craftsman. And today…
She too would attain the rank of Saint Craftsman!
"Miss Mu's forging ability…"
"Truly worthy of being among the continent's top tier…"
Beside them, Chang Gongyan watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but voice his admiration repeatedly. Li Jiuge, the president of the Star Luo Forging Master Association standing nearby, was equally moved.
To think she was only nineteen years old, and a woman at that—yet she had achieved such accomplishments in forging. Especially after hearing what his old partner had said…
When his gaze shifted to the young man beside the woman, the old man's eyes gleamed with intensity. He had heard that the young man's forging ability was several times greater than the girl's…
The Douluo Continent truly was a place where dragons and tigers hid among the common folk!
"Boom—"
Not long after, as a brilliant light erupted from the metal beneath Mu Xi's hands, a strange resonance echoed from within. The metal before her had completely undergone sublimation through Soul Forging.
Today, she had finally achieved the rank of Level-Seven Saint Craftsman!
"Level-Seven Saint Craftsman!"
Witnessing this scene, Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan, master and disciple, could no longer contain their emotions and exclaimed in unison.
"Mu Xi-jie, she really did it…"
Lin Yuhan's eyes filled with admiration as she murmured softly. Clenching her fists, she made a silent vow.
She would become just like her…
An exceptionally outstanding top-tier forging master!
"As expected, nothing could hold Mu Xi-jie back."
Tang Luochuan's figure flashed past, appearing near the forging platform as he smiled warmly at her and spoke gently.
"Luo Chuan, I did it!"
At this moment, after calming her emotions, Mu Xi took a deep breath and threw herself into his arms.
She had done it.
Three years of honing her craft, and today, she had broken through to Level Seven!
"Mu Xi-jie…"
"Congratulations."
Gently holding the girl in his arms, Tang Luochuan spoke softly, "Actually, with your forging talent and my previous guidance, breaking through to the seventh level shouldn't have taken this long."
Yet she had chosen to meticulously polish all her forging techniques before the seventh level, rather than relying on him who possessed God-level forging awareness and skills...
Now she had truly found her own path.
And she would undoubtedly become a top Divine Blacksmith in the future!
"I'll keep working hard."
"And strive to catch up with your footsteps."
Mu Xi's face carried a gentle determination as she spoke with resolve.
...
"My talent is the weakest among everyone, and I'm not as beautiful as the other sisters. But through my efforts, I will become a star shining just as brightly beside Luo Chuan."
