"Finally finished!" Jiang Yuan raised the weapon in his hand, a small crossbow, the very same Spirit Return Crossbow from the weapon blueprints.

Jiang Yuan inserted an eighth-tier Holy Spirit Stone, then nocked an arrow and shot it. The crossbow bolt whistled into the darkness.

"As expected, it only has the power of the eighth rank!" Jiang Yuan was very dissatisfied with this result.

The blueprints for the Spirit Return Crossbow were of the ninth rank, and not only the blueprints, but the materials also met the standards. However, the Spirit Return Crossbow that was forged was still lacking and could not reach the level of a ninth-rank weapon.

"Never mind, I'll do it tomorrow!"

Jiang Yuan gave up the idea of ​​continuing. His current condition was no longer suitable for continuing the forging process. Taking a proper rest would actually improve his control.

Moreover, the bronze door also helps him to concentrate his dragon energy.

"This woman is really persistent!" Jiang Yuan saw Liu Zhaodi huddled in the corner when he walked to the bronze door.

It must be said that Liu Zhaodi is a person who is very willing to change herself. She has no trace of the spoiled air of a lady from a wealthy family. When he was refining weapons, Liu Zhaodi helped him remember the names of the ores, classify the ores, and select the quality of the ores. She was completely hardworking and conscientious.

"It would be so much better to go back. Why make yourself uncomfortable here!"

Jiang Yuan sighed, then took off his robe and covered Liu Zhaodi with it, before sitting down in the distance with his back against the bronze door to sleep.

Nothing happened that night, but when Jiang Yuan woke up, he found Liu Zhaodi leaning on his shoulder. Just as he was about to ask, Liu Zhaodi, who was leaning on his shoulder, spoke first.

"I'm not a hooligan, I came over because I was worried you'd be cold!" Liu Zhaodi said with her eyes closed.

Jiang Yuan looked down and realized that half of the robe he had taken off to cover Liu Zhaodi had returned to him. It was precisely because the two of them were sharing one robe that it was so crowded, which was why Liu Zhaodi was standing so close to him.

"Looks like you're a chivalrous woman who'll lend a helping hand!" Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and inexplicably didn't want to move, so he took advantage of the time he was still in bed to chat with Liu Zhaodi.

"You call yourself a heroine, but in your heart you still see me as a female hooligan!" Liu Zhaodi snuggled comfortably in Jiang Yuan's arms.

"Beautiful lady, your lewd nature is already quite obvious, okay! Do I need to think about it in my mind?" Jiang Yuan said while experiencing the progress of his dragon energy. The progress of his dragon energy had already risen to seventeen percent. After the lucky dice rolled three, his dragon energy progress also increased significantly. It was as if he was cultivating under the blessing of the goddess of fortune.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi lazily turned to the side, her soft, red lips brushing against Jiang Yuan's earlobe as she breathed seductively, "That's what being a hooligan is all about!"

"Give me back my clothes!"

Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed the robe, draped it over his shoulders, and walked away. Liu Zhaodi, having missed her target, wasn't angry at all. Instead, she lay down on her side and said coyly, "What's wrong? I was just joking. I'm not going to eat you. What are you afraid of?"

"Not everyone is as free as you!" Jiang Yuan packed his things. "Like now, we're leaving in three minutes. If you want to come along, don't waste my time!"

"So fast!" Liu Zhaodi exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Yuan didn't answer, and continued to pack his things. Liu Zhaodi, seeing this, immediately got up to wash and put on makeup.

When Jiang Yuan stepped out of the courtyard, Liu Zhaodi still didn't follow. The three minutes was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for her, but Jiang Yuan had no qualms about it. He had to make this woman back down, or he would go crazy sooner or later.

"Jiang Yuan, wait for me!"

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to reach the door, Liu Zhaodi caught up, panting.

“Actually, you can go a little slower, I don’t mind!” Jiang Yuan said calmly to Liu Zhaodi behind him.

Liu Zhaodi showed no shyness whatsoever. Instead, she stepped forward and tugged at Jiang Yuan's sleeve. "There's a reason I was slow. I took a look at the campsite while we were walking, and I think it could be redesigned!"

"What do you want to do!" Jiang Yuan frowned and stared at Liu Zhaodi.

"I'll build you a big house!" Liu Zhaodi stated her purpose. Seeing Jiang Yuan's puzzled expression, she explained, "Your courtyard is too small; it's crowded even for several people. Now that we have the land deeds for the camp, we can re-plan the camp. First, we'll build a few large mansions, then a horse ranch, and finally a martial arts training ground!"

"Of course, I'll also help you build a fully equipped forging room!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was inspired. Since the camp had already been purchased, could it be used as a base to cultivate his own power?

"So what are your plans?" Jiang Yuan stopped and asked.

“The Liu family has a construction team composed of Spirit Awakeners. They can renovate buildings a hundred times faster than ordinary people. Why don’t I have them come and help you with the planning?” Liu Zhaodi suggested.

"Let's talk about this when we get back!" Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then agreed.

"Can I build a small house here?" Liu Zhaodi pleaded with Jiang Yuan, pointing her index fingers at him with both hands.

"No way!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and resolutely refused.

"you……"

Liu Zhaodi wanted to curse, but Jiang Yuan had already left.

"You arrogant jerk, always wearing that long face. I hope your girlfriend dumps you!" Liu Zhaodi cursed inwardly.

Jiang Yuan arrived at the Changgan Regiment's encampment without any obstacles.

"Why did you come to the territory of the North City Alliance? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out by the North City Alliance?" Liu Zhaodi was still quite resentful.

“They might kick you out, not me!” Jiang Yuan said dismissively.

"Hehehe!" Liu Zhaodi made a face and followed them inside.

Good morning, boss!

Good morning, boss!

Along the way, people from the Changgan Regiment kept greeting us. No, they can't be called the Changgan Regiment anymore; these people are all sworn-in reserve members.
