The other party, hearing Qi Xi’s retort, his eyes darted around.
He lowered the raised arm, squinted, and spoke slowly.
“I want to know why the parts were melted. You know, as blacksmiths,
Every part we forge is our child. To simply destroy it, it breaks our hearts!”
This fellow, speaking these words, showed no change in expression, and even feigned sorrow.
It sounded as if it were true.
Some blacksmiths and engineers behind him nodded repeatedly.
They chimed in, “Yes, that’s right… our hearts ache.”
“Pfft…”
At that moment, Chu Tian couldn’t hold back and let out a muffled chuckle from beneath his hood.
As Chu Tian’s laughter erupted, Qi Xi’s expression changed drastically.
She knew it was over…
As expected, the next moment, the bald blacksmith with his chest bare.
Raised his hammer again, pointing it at Chu Tian.
“Who’s the idiot laughing?”
Qi Xi’s heart sank, yet she turned her gaze to Chu Tian.
She found Chu Tian standing stiffly, not moving at all.
“Hoo…” Qi Xi let out a long sigh.
She thought to herself: Good… I didn’t expect Chu Tian’s temper to have mellowed so much over this period.
To endure being pointed at and cursed.
But… was that even possible?
Beneath his hood, Chu Tian’s face showed an unprecedented stiffness.
He remained silent, stunned.
Let alone this life, even in his previous life, those who dared to point at him and curse him would have had grass a zhang high growing on their graves.
The people from the Haotian Merchant Guild… he had heard of them in his previous life, arrogant and overbearing.
But he never had the chance to meet them. This life was truly eye-opening.
Qi Xi took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. Honestly, she couldn’t stand the people from the Haotian Merchant Guild either.
But there was no other way. The Fortress Supremacy battle was about to begin.
Her idea was to avoid creating unnecessary enemies for the Reverse God Alliance.
Seeing that Chu Tian remained silent and still, she shifted her gaze away from him and faced forward.
The bald blacksmith, seeing this, looked quite pleased and slowly lowered the arm he was pointing at Chu Tian.
Swish…
Bang…
Slap…
However, at this very moment.
Just as Qi Xi turned her head back.
She saw a dark shadow flash past her.
Before she could even identify it, she saw the bald blacksmith in front of her fall straight towards the ground.
Qi Xi was shocked. This time, she saw clearly; who else could that dark shadow be but Chu Tian?
In the entire guild territory, only the two of them were present.
Although there were many life players, they were all busy in their workshops and wouldn’t be outdoors.
However, the bald man, with his head tilted, as his falling body neared the ground.
Slap…
Chu Tian sidestepped and flicked a palm.
With another loud slap, he sent the man’s falling body flying back.
Towards another direction.
Then came a repeated action.
“The tumbler isn’t fun, it’s a bit tiring, and I have to bend down. Let’s spin like a top instead!”
Chu Tian’s voice was not loud, but at this moment, the scene was dead silent.
Only the continuous sound of… slap, slap, slap…
His self-directed murmurs naturally reached everyone’s ears.
Following that, with a wave of Chu Tian’s hand.
A resounding slap made the bald blacksmith stand up straight, then a backhand sweep turned the guy into a spinning top.
His legs were twisted like a pretzel…
With Chu Tian’s slaps, he was spun faster and faster.
It was only then that these people finally understood why the bald blacksmith made no sound even when his face was being repeatedly slapped.
And they also knew where that… *bang*… sound came from, before Chu Tian’s palm landed on his face.
Didn’t they see what was stuck in that guy’s mouth?
It was the forging hammer he was holding!
The handle of that foot-long hammer was directly shoved into the bald blacksmith’s mouth by the person in the black cloak.
And the hammerhead was firmly blocking his mouth.
No wonder he couldn’t make a sound.
This was the Heavenly Dao World. If this were reality, this person would surely be crippled!
The handle of that forging hammer was a foot and a half long, and its diameter was… at least 3.5 centimeters!
Dozens of people present, seeing this scene, their faces changed drastically.
They unconsciously swallowed.
How… uncomfortable that must be!
Qi Xi, standing behind Chu Tian, naturally saw this scene.
First, her mouth fell open, her eyes showing shock.
The next second, after snapping back to reality.
She quickly closed her mouth.
At the same time, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Then, this Executive President.
Her temples flushed red.
For some reason, even her earlobes and neck turned red.
Then, she glanced at the dozens of people in the distance, finding that no one was looking at her.
She quickly recomposed herself and coughed.
“Ahem… Xiao… Xiao Tian… it’s… it’s enough.”
Hearing Qi Xi’s voice, Chu Tian.
Slightly turned his body, looked back, and smiled playfully.
“Sister Xi Xi, don’t worry, leave this to me!” As he said this, Chu Tian paused.
His right hand didn’t stop, continuing to slap the guy’s face.
With his left hand, he lifted his hood, revealing curious eyes fixed on Qi Xi.
“Sister, why is your face so red? Are you angry?”
Qi Xi was taken aback by his question, reaching out to touch her face.
The burning sensation made her glare at Chu Tian in shame and anger.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the bald blacksmith, who was being spun like a top by Chu Tian.
“Sister-in-law, who bullied you? I’ll smash them into meat paste!”
“Xi Xi, who made you angry?”
Just as Chu Tian uttered that sentence.
The guild territory flashed with white light consecutively.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people used Return Stones and teleported to the guild territory.
And the glare Qi Xi gave Chu Tian, Chu Tian naturally didn't see, because he was attracted by these returning players.
Two voices, Chu Tian was also very familiar with.
The first voice was Jian Zhi Cang Tian, which was Zhao Lei.
The second voice was Heng Dao, who was Qi Xi’s husband, Gao Kai.
Standing beside them was Jing Kaiyu, whose character name was Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni.
The three of them pushed through the crowd and quickly walked to Chu Tian’s side.
Zhao Lei, holding a great shield.
Bang… with a sound, he touched the tip of the great shield against the stone slab of the ground.
Gao Kai, on the other hand, came to Qi Xi’s side.
Watching her with concern.
He also saw Qi Xi’s flushed face, looking full of surprise.
“Get lost… you wait for me, I’ll deal with you when we’re out of the game!”
However, Gao Kai’s concern was met with Qi Xi saying this.
Causing Chu Tian, Zhao Lei, and Jing Kaiyu to turn their heads.
They didn’t know why Qi Xi suddenly got angry at Gao Kai.
Gao Kai also looked embarrassed, inexplicably touching his nose.
Qi Xi then suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing.
In front of so many people, not giving her husband face seemed a bit unreasonable.
However, she still gave Gao Kai a stern glare.
Then she changed the subject, recounting what had just happened.
