Chapter 140 9 Hua Jade Belt
After leaving the Lei family, Dongfang Jin asked Chi Heng, "Tell me, how much of what we said did Elder Lei believe?"
He was referring to those things about Yu Yao.
"Old Lei didn't believe a word of it, but that doesn't stop him from asking again."
Dongfang Jin clapped his hands.
"That's settled then. As long as Elder Lei doesn't make any demands that would put Xiao Qi in a difficult position, things will be fine."
"Ah."
......
With less than two weeks to go before the extreme cold, Chi Heng and his group began preparing winter supplies and renovating their houses.
Jiang Yi kept all the seeds in the field, and irrigated the rest with spring water drawn from the fountain, and also infused it with his supernatural abilities.
Whether they can survive the extreme cold depends on their fate.
Qi Xian simply carried the rocket launcher to clear out the zombies in the surrounding area and collect crystal cores.
As for Chi Heng and Dongfang Jin, they were contacted by Elder Lei in secret, hoping to get some help.
So the two of them packed some winter supplies and took them to the Kyoto base to exchange for some crystal cores.
After all, the more crystal cores you have, the better right now!
......
Extreme cold is expected to arrive in a few days.
The wind at the summit of Lingxi Peak has been getting colder and harsher these past few days, so we need to be prepared to get through the extreme cold.
Apart from Yu Yao and Luo Mei, who are in seclusion at Yu Yao's house.
The remaining Chi Heng and the others decided to move to the Little White Building for the time being, so they could help each other out.
Just an hour after they all gathered at the Little White Building, the extreme cold arrived as expected.
The sudden drop in temperature to below minus ninety degrees Celsius caused many unprepared people to never wake up from their sleep.
The howling wind whipped up the wildly swirling snowflakes, instantly transforming the world into a blanket of white.
Yu Yao lifted a small gap in the thick windproof curtain, looking out at the base, whose true appearance was almost impossible to discern.
And in the distance, a small white building, its lights still on, was faintly visible in the wind and snow.
A chill swept over us.
Luo Mei quickly snatched the curtain from her hand and lowered it, saying, "Be careful of stroke from sudden changes in temperature."
Yu Yao didn't dare to refute.
Obediently, he followed back to the fireplace and focused on sketching and drawing on paper with Luo Mei.
......
The first heavy snowfall after the arrival of extreme cold.
It rained for a full seven days.
After the snow stopped, the first and second floors of all the buildings on Lingxi Peak were submerged.
Yu Yao and Luo Mei could only see the outside world through the window by climbing up to the attic.
Outrageous.
It's really outrageous!
However, they have more important things to do now.
The basic equipment design has been completed; now they need to carve inlay slots onto the equipment.
One inlay slot can hold one spirit rune, which is an additional ability.
The more slots there are, the more additional abilities are available.
However, the carving process of the inlay groove is extremely complicated, and the slightest mistake can ruin the entire project.
It requires complete concentration and demands a great deal of mental strength.
Even with Luo Mei's help, she couldn't afford to be distracted.
So, what's happening outside?
Let's put it aside for now!
......
Yu Yao and Luo Mei went into seclusion for more than a month.
I stay up late almost every day, neglecting to eat and sleep.
The longest time it took was three days to carve a single inscription, which was entirely due to my physical strength.
Fortunately, Luo Mei was a good cook and took good care of Yu Yao.
But Luo Mei has been a little bored these past few days.
Because Yu Yao has been holed up in her study for three days now.
She leaned against the stove, bored, stirring the chicken soup she had prepared for Yu Yao.
I wonder if Ayao will be able to eat this pot...
Just then, Luo Mei suddenly noticed through the crack in the door and the stairs that a light seemed to have flashed in the study upstairs.
Meanwhile, the study.
Yu Yao was sitting casually cross-legged on the carpet, with a dreamy, colorful ribbon—the "Jiuhua Jade Belt"—floating in the air above her palm without any wind.
Around her, the nine-colored dragon souls appeared and disappeared, circling and swimming around her.
The Nine-Flower Jade Belt is the magical artifact that Yu Yao has always wanted to make.
Suitable for healer roles, it can enhance attack power and survivability.
The nine-colored long silk is dreamlike and can be used as a belt or a wristband.
Activation summons nine dragon souls to join the battle, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities!
The so-called nine elements are: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and light—nine natural dragon souls.
Yu Yao looked at the Nine-Flower Jade Belt in her hand with satisfaction, gently bit her fingertip, and let the blood fly towards it.
Individually crafted equipment cannot be directly bound; a blood bond is required to establish its connection!
A moment later, the nine dragon souls suddenly solidified and resounded with dragon roars.
After absorbing Yu Yao's blood, the Nine-Flower Jade Belt gently swayed twice around her.
Then it slowly shrank, turning into a wristband that wrapped around Yu Yao's right wrist.
The nine dragon souls then burrowed back into the wristband one by one, and the dazzling nine-colored light also subsided.
No longer eye-catching.
But it is still beautiful and dreamlike.
At the same time, an inseparable and close connection was formed between the Jiuhua Jade Belt and Yu Yao.
Successfully recognized the master!
......
When I drew back the curtains, it was still freezing cold outside.
But several other people regularly clear the snow, so now there's only a layer of snow about ten centimeters high outside.
After glancing at the scenery outside, Yu Yao first opened the study door and let Luo Mei in.
"Are you ready?"
"Ah."
"What is it?"
Yu Yao then raised her hand, displaying the colorful ribbon on her wrist. With a thought, the nine-colored dragon soul began to circle and swim around the ribbon again.
Luo Mei gasped.
"Wow, sisters!"
"Just average."
"Haha~ Are you hungry? I made some chicken soup. Want to come and have some?"
"Walk."
Luo Mei's eyebrows curved into a smile.
"Haha~ Let's go, let's go."
......
After drinking the chicken soup, Yu Yao first went to take a hot bath.
Then he put on a thick down jacket, pushed open the door, and walked towards the small white building with Luo Mei.
It is indeed very cold outside.
The wind at the mountaintop was exceptionally strong, and Yu Yao was almost blown away the moment she stepped out because she wasn't prepared.
Luo Mei had no choice but to hold her hand tightly, and the two of them supported each other as they walked toward the Little White Building.
Even though Yu Yao tried her best to control the wind around them, the two of them still took two steps forward and three steps back, and they didn't get very far in a long time.
Forget it, there's no way we can walk there!
Just as Yu Yao was about to release her vines to pull them over, a vine reached out towards their waists and gently wrapped around them.
It was then quickly retrieved.
Two breaths later, they had already arrived at the gate of the Little White Building.
Jiang Yi leaned against the wall in the entryway and said to the two of them with a smile, "Welcome out of seclusion."
Luo Mei chuckled and said to Jiang Yi, "Wu, how have you been lately?"
"That's good, that's good. But you guys, haven't you had a proper rest?"
Yu Yao laughed and said, "How could that be? I'm very good at taking care of myself. Besides, isn't Amei here?"
Luo Mei nodded in agreement, her expression conveying, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Yi smiled.
Seeing that he was alone, Yu Yao casually asked, "Where are the boss and the others? Why aren't they here?"
"At least we're a base, so let's go build the city walls."
"City walls?"
"Well, we can't just openly let people know that we can't come in here."
Luo Mei asked, "Why didn't you do it sooner? Why did you have to do it in this extreme cold?"
"It has to be extremely cold, otherwise would those people at the Kyoto base agree?"
After all, they had acquired a lot more land, and if it had happened before the extreme cold, it would have been easy for the people at the Kyoto base to notice them.
And they will definitely come to stop them.
Although what we have no shortage of now are people who occupy mountains and rule over their own territory.
However, Senpakuyama is too close to Kyoto, and the base is too large, so it is hard not to arouse suspicion and vigilance from the Kyoto base's higher-ups.
But what about now? The capital is built, so do you think you can just let those people at the Kyoto base be demolished?
Demolition is out of the question. If they're so capable, let them come and blow it up themselves!
