Chapter 175-Enlightenment?
The iron ox was grunting as it carried a main beam that needed to be erected.
His huge body was bulging with muscles, and his bronze skin had a metallic luster in the sunlight. He carefully placed his newly acquired "Guixu Dragon Spine" hammer on the black rock beside him. The dark golden dragon head perched on the hammer exuded a restrained ferocity in the light.
"Stupid cow! Left! Raise the left side half an inch!" Luo Hongyi's cold voice sounded with his usual impatience.
She stood at a distance and gave orders. A wisp of dark green poisonous mist coiled around her fingertips like a spirit snake, accurately supporting the nodes of the components that needed adjustment.
Her red dress was still as bright as fire against the gray background of the abyss, but when she looked at Tie Niu's clumsy but extremely serious back, a barely perceptible softness flashed across the depths of her beautiful eyes.
"Alright! Senior Sister Luo!" Tie Niu responded in a muffled voice, veins bulging in his massive arms as he carefully adjusted the angle, infusing them with stellar power. Sweat trickled down his sturdy cheeks, dripping onto the cold metal with a soft, hissing sound.
Just when the components were about to align with the mortise and tenon joints, the iron ox stepped on a loose piece of gravel and its huge body shook violently!
The heavy star-patterned iron main beam lost its balance and fell towards his supporting left arm with tremendous force!
"Be careful!" Luo Hongyi's face suddenly changed! The poisonous mist at his fingertips instantly surged, transforming into several tough dark green vines that curled towards the main beam! But the distance was too close, and it seemed that it was too late!
At this critical moment!
The Guixu Dragon Spine Hammer, leaning against the black rock, seemed to sense its owner's danger, and its dark golden hammer body shook violently! A condensed star shield instantly popped out, barely blocking Tie Niu's left arm!
A dull thud! The Star Shield vibrated violently, sending fragments of light flying, but it ultimately blocked the fatal blow! The immense recoil made Tie Niu grunt, and he retreated several steps before steadying himself, a sharp pain radiating from his left arm.
"Idiot!" Luo Hongyi's figure had approached like a red cloud, her beautiful face covered with frost, and she grabbed Tie Niu's thick left arm.
The poisonous mist was no longer in an attacking form, but turned into an extremely pure green light with a cool and healing aura, instantly penetrating the bruises and broken bones on his arms!
"Luo... Senior Sister Luo..." Tie Niu grimaced in pain, his huge body slightly bent, like a child who had done something wrong, and said in a muffled voice, "I... I'm fine... I have a thick skin..."
"Thick skin?" Luo Hongyi exerted force with her fingertips, and the poisonous mist penetrated into the acupoints with a hint of punishment, causing Tie Niu to gasp, "No matter how thick it is, it can't withstand the impact of the Star Pattern Iron! If you dare to be distracted next time, I will poison and break your arm first!" She cursed fiercely, but checked his injuries very gently. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the blood clots quickly melted, and the broken bones were wrapped and fixed by the gentle force.
Tie Niu's enormous eyes stared unblinkingly at Luo Hongyi, who was so close to him. He saw her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly in nervousness and anger, her long, butterfly-like eyelashes drooping as she focused on examining the injuries, and the words that uttered from her rosy lips, words that were clearly insults but still burned his heart...
An unprecedented courage rushed to his head, mixed with the star power transmitted from the Guixu Dragon Spine, and suddenly broke down Tie Niu's honest nerves!
His huge palm, with a slight tremor, suddenly grasped the slender wrist that Luo Hongyi was healing!
Luo Hongyi froze in an instant, and looked up in shock, meeting Tie Niu's huge, clear eyes, which were burning with incomparable seriousness and passion at this moment!
"Senior Sister Luo!" Tie Niu's voice was like muffled thunder, making the air buzz. His huge face flushed red with excitement. "I... I miss you! I want... I want to grow herbs with you! Fight people together! Live together... together!" He roared loudly, and every word seemed to be spoken with all his strength. There was a pure sincerity in his huge eyes without a trace of impurities.
The whole square became quiet in an instant!
Chu Linyuan, who was debugging the tower base runes with Xie Zhao in the distance, paused imperceptibly for a moment the black ice evil energy in his hand.
The white deer, who was holding the rabbit and watering the star moss, opened his clear eyes wide in surprise.
Su Tang, sitting cross-legged on the ice platform, whispered to the Xingyin Ling, "Senior Mo Chen! That galactic resonance node you mentioned last time... hm? What's that sound?"
Luo Hongyi was completely petrified.
For the first time, an expression that could be described as "dull" appeared on her beautiful face. Her red lips were slightly parted as she looked at her wrist that was tightly grasped by Tie Niu's big, fan-like hand, feeling the scorching temperature like magma and the slight trembling coming from the other's palm.
An indescribable feeling, a mixture of shock, shame, absurdity and a hint of panic that even she herself was unwilling to admit, suddenly rushed to her cheeks, instantly dyeing her white jade-like skin red!
"You... you stupid cow!" Luo Hongyi finally found her voice. With unprecedented shame and anger and a barely perceptible tremor, the poisonous mist suddenly exploded from her fingertips, trying to break free from the iron-like hand. "What nonsense are you talking about! Let go!"
"I won't let go!" Tie Niu shook his huge head like a rattle, his eyes filled with astonishing stubbornness. "I'm speaking the truth! I just love you! I don't care if you call me stupid! I don't care if you hit me!"
He clenched his fist even tighter, as if afraid that if he let go, the most gorgeous red cloud before his eyes would fly away.
"Pfft - hahaha!" Xie Zhao was the first one who couldn't hold back his laughter. He laughed so hard that the Jinghong Talisman Pen almost fell out of his hand. "Oh my god! The stupid cow finally got it! Junior Sister Luo! Congratulations!" He laughed and winked at Luo Hongyi mischievously.
Luo Hongyi's face became even redder, almost bleeding. She was both ashamed and angry. The poisonous mist was lingering, and it seemed that it was about to indiscriminately poison the stupid cow and Xie Zhao who was watching the show nearby.
At this moment, Su Tang suddenly let out a surprised scream, breaking the strange and ambiguous atmosphere: "Ah! Star Attraction Order! Senior Mo Chen has replied! And... a gift?!"
The Star Attraction Token she was holding shone brightly, and in the center of the miniature star map on the surface of the token, a bright starlight blossomed like a flower bud!
The light faded, revealing a strange candy the size of a pigeon egg, translucent and crystal clear, seemingly containing a flowing galaxy. It quietly hovered above the Star Attraction Order! A soft, pure star power, accompanied by a sweet aroma, permeated the air.
"Wow! Star Candy!" Su Tang's eyes lit up like stars. She carefully picked up the candy, her face flushed with excitement. "Senior Mo Chen said... it's a specialty of the Fallen Star Sea! It replenishes your willpower and nourishes your soul!"
She hid the candy in the storage bag at her waist like a treasure, glanced guiltily in Luo Hongyi's direction, and whispered, "... Just one... I won't let Senior Sister Luo test the poison..."
