However, when Ye Junfei thought of the fear in Lin Xiuyan's eyes, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

He said calmly, "Since we're going to have a competition, there should be some kind of prize."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and pulled the hairpin from Lin Xiuyan's hair, saying, "Why don't we use this hairpin from Miss Lin's hair as a prize?"

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

She was truly speechless. They were having a competition, so why use her things as prizes? What kind of nonsense was that?

Since Ye Junfei had already spoken, she dared not disobey him and could only say, "Okay."

Xu Qianting had wanted to ask Lin Xiuyan for something as a token of their love, but he was afraid of being beaten by her, so he didn't dare to say it directly.

Now that Lin Xiuyan's hairpin is being used as a prize, we must work hard to win it!

So his fighting spirit was even higher than before, and he happily said, "I like this prize!"

After he finished speaking, he said to Lin Xiuyan, "When I win, I won't take your hairpin for nothing. I'll take you to the hot springs in the suburbs later."

He thought he was really clever; after getting the hairpin, he could also go to a hot spring with her—it was killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Xiuyan couldn't bear to look at him. If this idiot could beat Ye Junfei, he'd probably lose his head.

She was very sad!

Ye Junfei said from the side, "If I win, I won't take Miss Lin's hairpin for nothing. I will also invite Miss Lin to soak in the hot springs in the suburbs."

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

She didn't say anything today, but everything was being thrown at her, and she couldn't refuse.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Okay."

Xu Qianting thought Ye Junfei was shameless for directly using his lucky charm.

He whispered to Lin Xiuyan, "Don't worry! I'm going to win this time!"

Lin Xiuyan was exhausted and didn't want to talk anymore.

Xu Qianting added, "Let Yanyan and Young Master Fan be the judges in this matter!"

No one has any objections to this.

Lin Xiuyan figured that since she had already come this far, and all she needed were these key components, she might as well take this opportunity to let them finish them.

She then said, "Then let's set a limit of one hour."

This timing is reasonable, and neither Xu Qianting nor Ye Junfei have any objections.

The Lin family had quite a few blacksmithing tools. Lin Xiuyan brought out a set for Ye Junfei and found two handymen to help them operate the bellows to ensure the furnace temperature.

The iron blocks are all ready.

Lin Xiuyan lit an incense stick to start the timer: "Begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qianting immediately began forging iron.

Unlike Xu Qianting, Ye Junfei did not take off his shirt; he was still wearing a very thin nightgown.

He wore his pajamas loosely, with the collar half-open, revealing his muscular chest.

Lin Xiuyan glanced at it only once before immediately turning her head away.

The reason is simple: Ye Junfei's appearance at this moment is just too alluring.

Because he was wearing so little, his excellent physique was faintly visible: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long arms, and streamlined muscles that exuded power.

He was too close to the fire, and sweat was already pouring down his forehead, down the red mole at the corner of his eye, and down to his chin.

Then it rolls from the chin into the beautiful collarbone, then overflows from the collarbone and rolls into the half-open chest, down the chest, and onto the faintly visible abdominal muscles.

It then soaked into the nightgown and disappeared.

When Lin Xiuyan was reborn, she accidentally stripped off his clothes and learned about the exquisite and alluring V-line beneath his abs.

Her mind wandered for a moment, then she snapped back to reality.

She felt that someone must be crazy to think about such things!

No matter how good his physique is, she absolutely cannot be tempted!

Xu Qianting's feelings were also somewhat complicated when he saw Ye Junfei's appearance.

Perhaps because Ye Junfei usually appears too gentle, he always forgets what Ye Junfei looked like when he killed someone at the gambling den that day.

As Ye Junfei removed his outer robe, his refined aura dissipated, and he recalled the events of that day.

That kind of Ye Junfei is really quite terrifying.

Most importantly, Xu Qianting discovered that Ye Junfei's physique was in no way inferior to his!

Moreover, compared to Ye Junfei's subtle and understated approach, he appeared somewhat crude and was inferior in terms of temperament.

Although Xu Qianting was aware of these things, he was reluctant to admit it.

He felt that as long as he won, he would still be Lin Xiuyan's favorite person.

However, he soon discovered how terrifying Ye Junfei was:

This was definitely Ye Junfei's first time forging iron, and the first few days were truly indescribable.

His brow furrowed slightly, as if he were somewhat displeased.

But soon he mastered the technique of applying force when forging iron and was able to control it quite well.

Not only that, after a few more breaths, he discovered that Ye Junfei could not only control his strength, but also apply very even force when landing on the iron block.

Xu Qianting and Lin Xiuyan worked together for a period of time, and it took him a long time to achieve this.

People like Ye Junfei are truly terrifying!

Lin Xiuyan was initially worried that Ye Junfei would kill Xu Qianting if he lost, but seeing the situation now, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qianting's life has been saved!

She had lived by Ye Junfei's side for a period of time in her previous life and knew how terrifying he was.

But she didn't know that someone like him could learn blacksmithing so quickly.

Someone as intelligent as him, if he weren't a psychopathic killer, would likely have become someone she respected.

She couldn't help but glance at him again, just as he swung his enormous iron hammer.

With each movement, the muscles in his arms and chest bulged, perfectly showcasing masculine power.

A perfect body, imbued with immense power, possesses immense allure.

His features were handsome and refined, still handsome at this moment, but with added masculinity. Even the red mole at the corner of his eye had an even more alluring charm than usual.

Lin Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

The moment this feeling arose, she pressed the button, silently vowing, "I must never like him; he's a ruthless killer!"

She recited it ten or so times before her heart finally calmed down completely.

Just then, Fan Xilou leaned close to her and said, "Young Master Ye has the bearing of a dragon and the demeanor of a phoenix, and his bearing is extraordinary."

"I used to think that Young Master Xu's figure was already very good, but compared to him, it is far inferior."

Lin Xiuyan agreed with this statement.

Xu Qianting's figure wasn't bad to begin with, but compared to Ye Junfei, he seemed too young.

Fan Xilou then said softly, "Given Young Master Ye's status, there was originally no need for him to compare himself with Young Master Xu."

"Given his temperament, he would disdain such a petty argument."

“Miss Lin, your social statuses are vastly different, you need to prepare early.”

Lin Xiuyan turned to him and asked, "What should I prepare?"
