"Lotus, don't go! Don't leave me! How can I live without you?"

Lu Chen's voice was filled with sorrow and despair, as if he had suddenly entered the moment of lovers parting. Lu Chen had secretly rehearsed this ability to act out emotions so readily for a long time.

Sure enough, when Lianhua heard Lu Chen's shout, she felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps all over her body; she felt something was very strange.

She turned her head with a complicated expression and glanced at Lu Chen, only to see an incredibly infatuated man staring intently at her back.

"Poor man."

In Lianhua's eyes, Lu Chen's behavior just now showed that he was an absolutely devoted man. Looking at his back, he vaguely remembered his former sweetheart.

So for a time, they couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy, and they even became a bit obsessed.

Lotus originally wanted to point it out directly, but then she thought about it and decided to let him have some peace and quiet on his own. It would be better if he could calm down on his own.

If I were to expose him directly, it might only make him feel even more sad.

"Unfortunately, I'm not the one for you."

Lotus suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart. She wondered if the woman named Lotus, who was so similar to her, was still alive.

"If only there were a man as devoted as him, who loved me as much as he did, how wonderful that would be?"

This thought startled even Lotus herself. She quickly shook it off, dared not let her mind wander any further, and hurriedly left.

Lu Chen watched her walk away until he heard the system notification.

System notification: Your confession to Lotus failed. You have received a reward of 789 Source Crystals and 9870 Yuan Crystals.

"This will work?"

Lu Chen smiled.

In this way, Lu Chen has accumulated more than twenty source crystals.

I reckon that if I use all these source crystals, breaking through to the King Realm won't be a problem.

Lu Chen was quite serious this time; this unusual transparent stone was not easy to refine.

Although the transparent stone appears to be very pure on the surface, for a master craftsman, there is no such thing as a completely pure material in the world.

If so, it's because the refining method wasn't sophisticated enough.

Lu Chen spent the entire day immersing himself in forging weapons, and finally emerged from seclusion after a full day.

As soon as Lu Chen came out, he saw that familiar figure.

Today, the Lotus Fairy is wearing a light blue long dress, which makes her look ethereal and otherworldly, with an extraordinary temperament and beauty that seems otherworldly.

Lu Chen was momentarily stunned by what he saw.

Although Lu Chen had always treated all the beautiful women he encountered as mere tools, he couldn't deny that each of these construction workers had their own unique beauty.

The previous Qianyu seemed somewhat seductive and had a fiery temper, making her seem like an untamed wild horse.

But this lotus fairy gave off an ethereal aura that could only be admired from afar and not touched. She appeared incredibly gentle on the surface, but Lu Chen knew that the more beautiful a woman was, the harder it was to get into her heart.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't care.

The more it is like this, the better.

"Lotus Fairy, a day apart feels like three autumns. Yesterday, when we first met, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep."

Lu Chen's smile was exceptionally bright.

Although the Lotus Fairy was no longer as disgusted as before, she still felt something was off.

So, the Lotus Fairy subtly changed the subject.

"Is it finished? I'll come and get the sword."

Even if you change the subject and don't answer, the system will still determine that your confession has failed.

Then, Lu Chen heard the system notification sound once again.

System notification: Your confession to Lotus failed. You have received a reward of 70 Origin Crystals (789).

Lu Chen remained calm. With a wave of his hand, a nearly transparent longsword, almost invisible unless one looked closely, appeared before the Lotus Fairy.

The longsword emitted bursts of light, which then faded, leaving it looking ordinary. However, the incredibly terrifying sword energy it had just unleashed had truly shocked the Lotus Fairy.

She reached out and grasped the sword hilt, carefully feeling it for a moment. Her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Lu Chen, hardly believing her intuition.

"It's actually...it's actually a sixth-rank King-level weapon."

Previously, the Lotus Fairy had heard that a weapon-refining expert had come to Flower Fairy Valley; he was at the fifth level.

In other words, he can forge weapons up to the fifth rank of the King grade.

However, the Lotus Fairy never expected that Lu Chen would perform beyond his usual level this time, forging a sixth-order weapon in one go.

"This sword took all my energy to perfect, and I have finally lived up to the fairy's expectations."

Lu Chen looked on with a sigh of emotion, his eyes red, as if it had been a very difficult process to forge this sword.

In fact, for Lu Chen, whose skill in weapon crafting has now reached the level of a grandmaster, he could easily identify a sixth-tier weapon with his eyes closed.

If the materials are perfect, Lu Chen might even be able to forge a ninth-tier battle weapon, exceeding his usual level and potentially reaching an even higher level.

For him, it was just a matter of casually refining something.

However, what Lianhua heard was that Lu Chen had expended a lot of energy on this.

"In that case, Lotus thanks you very much! If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, Lotus will do her best to help and will certainly not stand idly by."

As a disciple of Flower Fairy Valley, Lotus naturally knew the rules of Flower Fairy Valley.

Although Lu Chen's status and position seem extraordinary now, she actually knows that Flower Fairy Valley only uses Lu Chen as a tool.
