Hearing Ye Chui’s roar, Gunny opened her sleepy eyes. The little girl yawned as she climbed out of bed. Seeing Ye Chui’s dumbfounded face, she casually waved her hand as a greeting. Then, as if remembering something, she anxiously turned her head towards the window. Bright sunlight was streaming in through the curtains. This brought a relaxed expression to Gunny’s face. “That thing called the sun really appeared on time. Yesterday I was so worried. What if something that big fell down and didn’t have the strength to rise again!”
The girl was saying words that no one could understand.
Ye Chui: “…”
“You, you first tell me clearly, what exactly is going on? How did you end up in my bed!” Ye Chui came back to his senses, pulled the blanket over himself to cover up, and asked Gunny with a serious face.
“Because the room was too dark. Although Sister Lesa said the sun would rise on time, I was really too worried in my heart. I couldn’t sleep a bit, so I had no choice but to come find you.” Gunny said with a silly smile, and embarrassedly scratched her hair. “The outside world is really so strange.”
A big fireball rising and falling in the sky, that was indeed quite strange…
“You are the strangest one, alright!” Ye Chui tremblingly pointed at Gunny’s body. “If you were scared, you could just say so. Why sneak into my bed, and dressed like this…”
Bloody hell, looking at Gunny like this, she was at most fourteen years old, even younger than Lesa, a proper dark-skinned loli. Ye Chui had always treated her like a little sister. She was now only wearing close-fitting undergarments, the popular innerwear style of this world, a tube top and shorts design, which Debbie and Lesa had prepared for her after returning to this world. Now she was just lying on his bed like this. It was practically tempting someone to commit a crime!
“This kind of clothing is so strange. I still prefer my original clothes. But Lesa said I can’t wear them like that anymore. What a pity.” Gunny seemed not to realise where the problem lay. She strangely tugged at the simple clothes on her body.
Speaking of which, her original wild outfits actually exposed even more than now. But it was like the difference between swimwear and underwear. It was not about more or less, but about one being for viewing and the other being a taboo area. The feeling it gave was completely different, alright!
Ye Chui hurriedly covered his eyes with his hand, then peeked at Gunny through his fingers. “You quickly put on your clothes, hurry up!”
“Oh…” Gunny thought Ye Chui was really strange. Everyone outside was so strange. She dawdled as she got out of bed and put on the clothes still lying on the floor. During this, she even put her top on backwards. She grinned foolishly at Ye Chui, then took it off and put it on again properly.
Ye Chui also hurriedly jumped up and got dressed. Then he grabbed Gunny’s hand and headed outside. Taking advantage of the early morning light, he needed to quickly send this girl back to her own room. He must not let anyone else see them.
However…
Just as Ye Chui was sneakily pulling Gunny into the corridor, a door on the opposite side of the corridor creaked open. Lesa walked out, covering her mouth and yawning. Seeing the figures of Ye Chui and Gunny, her body immediately froze.
“Little, little brother, you… you…” Her face showed an expression of disbelief.
“Lesa, it’s not what you think!” Ye Chui thought of countless clichéd scenes from melodramatic TV dramas at that moment. He hurriedly explained, his face full of embarrassment, but not a single word got to the point. “I didn’t do anything to Gunny. You have to listen to my explanation. She is still a child…”
“Little brother, you know Gunny is still a child!” Lesa angrily pulled Gunny to her side in one motion. Her eyes were full of vigilance as she looked at Ye Chui, like she was guarding against a big pervert.
“Gunny, tell Lesa we didn’t do anything!” Ye Chui hurriedly said to Gunny.
Gunny nodded cooperatively. “Yes, Sister Lesa. We just slept together, that’s all.”
Ye Chui: “Bloody hell—”
“Little brother, you, you have really disappointed me too much…” Lesa hugged Gunny, pretending to protect her.
“There is a bit of a misunderstanding. Listen to me…” Ye Chui reached out to pull Lesa.
But Lesa had already dragged Gunny towards the other end of the corridor. “Little brother, from now on, I forbid you from touching Gunny!”
“Is that necessary… No, when have I ever touched her! The word ‘touch’ is not used right…” Ye Chui hurriedly explained and followed after them.
On the other side, as Lesa pulled Gunny forward, her expression completely lost the anger she had shown towards Ye Chui. Instead, it carried a bit of mischievous weirdness. Gunny lowered her voice and asked Lesa, “Sister Lesa, wasn’t it you who told me to go find Ye Chui last night?”
Last night, because of the darkness in the room, Gunny could not sleep and first went to find Lesa. But Lesa was lighting a candle to read and study her sacred scripture, so with a mischievous mood, she sent Gunny to Ye Chui’s room.
As for whether Ye Chui would do anything to Gunny…
Heh, if little brother had the ability to do something to the monstrous strength girl, that would truly be impressive.
And so, while everyone was having breakfast in the luxurious dining hall, the atmosphere became somewhat strange. Lesa kept looking at Ye Chui with vigilant eyes. The way she gripped her knife and fork to cut the ham especially seemed ferocious… That appearance made Debbie, Green, Cass, and Windsor all look particularly puzzled. Ye Chui shrank in the corner eating his fried egg. He felt that his wise and mighty (??) image was about to take a huge hit from now on.
Among the people present, only Gunny was completely unaffected. After happily finishing a specially made beef ham from the lord’s mansion, she held up her plate to the maid standing beside her and said, “Give me another one.”
“Miss Gunny, you have already eaten three hams.” The maid said with a twitching face.
“Only three? Then give me four more. The hams here are too small. I need to eat seven to feel full.”
The maid: “…”
Girl, how is your stomach made?
After breakfast ended, Cass and Windsor began discussing their wedding. Their make-up wedding would only be held in the afternoon. After all, Lord Kevin’s status was there. His daughter’s wedding could not be handled carelessly. Every aspect needed careful preparation, and invitations had to be reissued to the nobles in the city. This was a very important matter. One had to know that back then, a single invitation had made many low-star guilds desperate to obtain it. When Ye Chui and the others had just arrived in Windrock City, they had fought over one invitation with several two-star and one-star magic guilds and mercenary groups.
Taking advantage of the time before the wedding started, Ye Chui’s group also had some things to do.
Lesa, Debbie, and Green planned to go find Gordo’s family. Cass had already called over his old comrade Lenny. Lenny was from Cass’s former mercenary group and was now a small captain in Windrock City’s guard team. He knew Gordo and was somewhat familiar with his situation.
As for Ye Chui and Gunny, they had another plan.
“Gunny, I want to give you a gift.” Ye Chui said to Gunny with a smile.
Lesa, standing beside them, immediately changed her expression. “Little brother, the gift you mentioned, could it be that you want to…”
“Enough, am I that kind of person?” Ye Chui said with a face full of fury. “With what you know about me, would I do something so shameless?”
Lesa looked at Ye Chui, thought seriously for a moment, then nodded. “Given that on average, when I’m with you, you sneak peeks at my chest more than three times a minute, and at least four times you deliberately trip to try to peek under my skirt… I think you might actually be capable of it.”
Ye Chui: “Those were all misunderstandings…”
“What exactly are you going to give Gunny?” Debbie interjected at this point. Lesa had quietly told Debbie about last night’s incident. Debbie found it amusing but felt nothing else. In her view, Gunny was just an innocent little girl who knew nothing.
Ye Chui ignored Lesa and explained to Debbie, “Gunny uses a greatsword as her weapon, but the sword she has now is still that stone sword brought from the Sword Burial Ground. It must be very inconvenient to use. I want to take her to buy a real greatsword.”
The gift he wanted to give Gunny was a greatsword. Actually, Ye Chui could now summon the golden greatsword. That weapon was practically tailor-made for Gunny. However, with Gunny’s current strength, she still could not control the golden greatsword to unleash its full power. So Ye Chui wanted to give her an ordinary greatsword as a transitional one.
Gunny had developed her own way of fighting with the greatsword through self-exploration. To truly unleash the power of a greatsword warrior, she still needed much more trial and error. Hearing Ye Chui’s words, her eyes immediately lit up. “Really? That’s great. I want a greatsword forged from steel. Back in the Holy Light Forest, I wanted a greatsword like that, but unfortunately, there was too little steel in the Holy Light Forest. There was none to spare to forge one for me.”
“The steel in the outside world is plentiful. I guarantee I will find you the most suitable greatsword.” Ye Chui said with a smile, taking Gunny and setting off first. Of course, before leaving, Lesa gave Ye Chui another warning look…
Soon, Ye Chui and Gunny arrived in front of the largest blacksmith shop in Windrock City. This blacksmith shop specialised mainly in forging weapons. The front was the shop, filled with all sorts of armour and weapons. From the back, the constant “clang clang clang” of hammering iron echoed, as the blacksmiths and apprentices worked hard. After Ye Chui and Gunny arrived, the owner of the shop immediately came forward with a full smile. “Honoured guests, what would you like to buy? Recently, Master Kuran from the capital is visiting Windrock City. I invited him to forge a series of daggers and short weapons for me. You will surely like them.”
“We do not need daggers. We want swords.” Ye Chui looked around and said. “Greatswords.”
“Greatswords?” The owner was stunned. Greatsword users were quite rare after all. He glanced at Gunny. Her petite appearance made him immediately shift his gaze to Ye Chui. “Sir, is it for you?”
“No, it’s for her.” Ye Chui pointed at Gunny.
“This little girl wants to use a greatsword?” The owner seemed to have heard the funniest joke. “Guest, you really know how to joke. A weapon weighing dozens of pounds, this young lady probably cannot even lift it.”
“Give it a try.” Ye Chui said with a smile.
The owner shook his head. He directly pointed to a heavy sword hanging on the wall. That sword was still within the category of longswords, but it used a lot of steel to forge it, weighing thirty-four pounds. Even ordinary longsword users would find it hard to control. “Heh, miss, please try this sword.”
“Oh.” Gunny agreed, tiptoed to grasp the hilt of the longsword. At this moment, the owner was still thinking that this little girl probably could not swing the sword easily. But in the next moment, the sword whistled through the air as she swung it. In the little girl’s hand, it seemed just like a light wooden stick. She looked at Ye Chui with a disdainful face. “It’s so light. Not good at all.”
The owner: “…”
Gunny handed the longsword back to the owner. His hand sank as he took it. The sword tip directly hit the ground with a clang. This sword was indeed not light. The owner’s physique was not weak, but swinging it was still very difficult.
He hung the longsword back on the wall. His expression towards Gunny had changed. Then he pointed to another sword. That was a greatsword, the kind Cass used. He introduced it in his mouth. “This greatsword weighs fifty-three pounds, forged from fine steel, with infinite power…”
As he was speaking, Gunny had already picked up the greatsword with one hand and swung it casually in the air. “This seems like the sword Cass has. But it’s still too light. Not handy to use.”
The owner once again: “…”
Ye Chui found it somewhat amusing. Inexplicably, he thought of the scene where Sun Wukong went to the Dragon Palace to seek a weapon. He said to the owner, “I said we want a heavy sword. Bring out the heaviest sword you have here.”
“Good, good…” The owner no longer dared to underestimate Gunny. He led Ye Chui and Gunny to a side door nearby. After pushing it open, inside was a display of some relatively precious weapons. These weapons were rarely bought on ordinary days, so they were kept here. By the wall at the very back hung two enormous greatswords. These greatswords were as wide as a person’s waist, one and a half metres long. They looked dark and dull, polished quite smoothly, giving a very heavy and fierce feeling.
“These two greatswords have been here for two years. Both weigh ninety pounds, forged from fine steel. Even those few heavy sword users in Windrock City cannot use them casually.” As he said this, he looked at Gunny as if provocatively. Did he really think his blacksmith shop had no good items? If you have the ability, swing these heavy swords as casually as before?
Then…
Gunny walked over, picked up one greatsword with one hand, raised it in the air, and easily swung it around. A slightly satisfied expression appeared on her face. “This sword is not bad. Although it is a bit lighter than the stone sword I usually use, it is already quite handy…” Suddenly thinking of something, her eyes turned to the other greatsword. So her other hand reached out and picked up that greatsword too. “Whoosh whoosh whoosh—” The two greatswords danced in the wind as she swung them. Satisfaction finally appeared on her face. “Ye Chui, I want both of these swords. Can you fuse these two greatswords together?”
The golden greatsword Ye Chui obtained probably weighed over two hundred pounds in an ordinary person’s hands. Fusing these two greatswords would make one hundred and eighty pounds, just right as a transitional effect for Gunny.
Ye Chui nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the blacksmith shop owner, who was now呆滞 and stiff all over. “Just as she said. We buy both swords. But you need to help fuse the two swords together. Can you do that?”
“Yes, yes… But it will take some time.” The owner came back to his senses and hurriedly said.
“How much time will it take?” Ye Chui was stunned.
“Three days.” The owner thought for a moment and said. “Simply fusing them together to make a rough sword blank only needs half a day. But the rest of the time is needed for polishing and sharpening.”
“No need for polishing and sharpening. Just having a rough sword blank is enough.” Ye Chui thought and said. For such a large sword, did it even need an edge? When fighting people, it was directly used like a stick to smash them, right? Moreover, a rough sword blank looked more unique.
At this moment, Ye Chui suddenly thought of something else. His eyes lit up. “Right, owner. I have some special materials here. Can they be fused in together?”
“What special materials?” The owner looked at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui summoned his spellbook, then took out some red fragments that looked like shells from some creature from the [Storage Space]. Those were the remnants left after killing that dragon ant queen back then!
He planned to fuse these dragon ant queen fragments into the greatsword. This was… a dragon ant greatsword!
