Chapter 8: Old Blacksmith

The Grand Palace, in the beautiful garden,

Han Laun Er sat cross-legged on the grass field, meditating while the Qi in the surroundings was absorbed into her like a bottomless pit.

"Why I am still in the 5th Stage of Ture Yuan State Realm?" Han Luan Er asked herself that she didn't understand the reason for her realm was not increasing no matter how much she absorbed the Qi her realm wouldn't improve which saddened her big heart.

"It's time to wake up young master," said Han Luan Er, as the personal maid she needs to take care of the daily needs of Yao Zhu. She put the sword in the sheath, got up, and left the grassy field. 

She went to the room which was on the 2nd floor of the Grand Palace, opened the door in a respected manner gazed at the fat figure snoring peacefully as a smile formed on her alluring face, and walked gracefully to the lavish big beg.

There Han Laun Er saw the ugly fat face but she didn't feel anything as she became comfortable with the grossness after serving as a maid to Yao Zhu whose height and weight gained a lot in four years.

 "Young master Zhu, it's morning time please get up for a bath" said Han Luan Er, taking off the thick white blanket covering the overweight body with a round belly of course even though his body was overweight it had the sturdiness.

"Kya~"

His strong hand held the arm of Han Luan Er as she yelled and felt scared by the sudden grip on her wrist. Han Luan Er was pulled into his embrace and saw the red sly eyes glancing at her charming face and Han Luan Er fluffed her cheeks with irritation.

 "Young master please never scare me in that way," said Han Luan Er, seeing Yao Zhu wake up from his sleep and slowly his flabby palm slide to her round bubble rear. 

 "Good morning, Luan Er, waking up by a beautiful woman in the early morning is a beautiful day to begin the day," said Yao Zhu feeling happy inside his heart after all a beautiful milf was in his embrace and he smelled the sweet scent while he sniffed his nose placing on her slender neck.

"Young Master…." Han Luan Er groaned slightly feeling uncomfortable but Yao Zhu sniffed while giving a small peak on the smooth skin with blizzard lips.

"I am fully awake now, prepare the water for me before I finish my training," said Yao Zhu, ruffling his brown hair while arching his flabby body and getting down from the bed.

 "Yes, Young master," said Han Luan Er with a slight bow, seeing Yao Zhu leave the room with his upper bear naked to the training room.

"Why I am feeling sad in my heart?" Han Luan Er said unconsciously as she was remembering an unforgotten feeling in her deepest heart. She shook her head, thinking her primal was to keep her children safe as she didn't care what happened to her even though Yao Zhu teased her he never crossed the line and she also raised him for four years like her own child.

 'Young master is a good kid but always keeps himself busy' thought Han Zhu remembering her first year working as a personal maid.

....

 Four years ago,

"Luan Er, I want to look for the blacksmith shop in Ye Tian City?" asked Yao Zhu, reading the ancient language book while filling the pages, he was sitting on Han Luan Er's lap and She recalled the known blacksmith shop in the city to introduce it to her young master. 

"I know a place master, after eating lunch we will go there," said Han Luan Er with a slight smile on her face as she couldn't wait to go outside after all she had been serving Yao Zhu for straight 5 weeks alone in the Grand Palace. 

"Well take me there," said Yao Zhu with an understanding chuckle on his flabby-tanned face, he knew Han Luan Er had a longing to go outside as he also felt that he wanted to tour the city. 

It was the first for Yao Zhu, to see Ye Tian City, under Ye Linlao the city had developed within in few days after taking the Clan Head seat as he cut some bad weeds, he performed his duty as a Clan Head and even though Ye Heng told him to send him out with security but Yao Zhu denied but under constant request in the end Yao Zhu agreed to Ye Heng. 

With the Ye Clan emblem on the carriage, Yao Zhu was riding with Han Luan Er who looked out of the window with a smile as it's been a few weeks since she saw the Ye Tian City remembered her children whom she used to buy them toys in the past. 

"So how was your sword training?" asked Yao Zhu, noticing her dull mood and Han Luan Er came back to her senses after hearing Yao Zhu's question. 

"As you said young master, a sword is well suited for me even though my talent in Qi Cultivation is bad but while I am training the sword I feel a deep connection with it," said Han Luan Er, remembering the first time she held the sword and it was like she went through many life and death to survive using the sword. 

"Well that's good, I don't know what's the reason your heart is suffering from sadness, but use that sword and refine your emotions after my strength increases I help your troubles for now I don't anything about this continent so I can't help you enough" said Yao Zhu, making Han Luan Er eyes widen and down her head that a six years old kid trying to feel her better when her all thoughts were on her children. 

"Th...Thank you Young master" said Han Luan Er, clenching her fist after all she knew that the kid in front had enough authority to order the Lord of the War God Kingdom. 

Under the Han Luan Er, the carriage stopped at the blacksmith shop where the sounds of metal and heat were resonating outside the shop. 

"This is the best blacksmith shop in Ye Tian City, young master," said Han Luan Er, taking Yao Zhu inside the blacksmith shop, Yao Zhu's eyes widened when he noticed the perfect sword and other weapons as if they were made with a lot of care and effort. 

"Hello, customers, please tell me what type of weapons you want" asked a bearded man, with a strong arm as his skin was tanned after he constantly worked in the blacksmith shop. 

"Who made this sword?" asked Yao Zhu, inspecting the fine sword with his hands, first the bearded man was shocked seeing the face of Yao Zhu but Yao Zhu was the customer so he had to talk with Yao Zhu respectfully. 

"Take me to see him, I need to prize his work with my own words," said Yao Zhu, there was an appreciation in his red eyes, and the bearded man was astonished to hear from a six-year-old kid. 

"Haha, never thought a kid able to find the sword brilliance that I made with just one glance" An old man with a white mustache, had the trimmed white hair on his head, came out from the burning oven forging room while he wiped his sweat with a cloth and gazed at the young kid with an interesting face. 

"Kratos!!!!' Yao Zhu shocked when heard the same voice of the character in the videogame.

'This kid is not normal, even some Qi masters couldn't able to find out the test I put in the sword showcase" thought the old man as he put the three identical swords two of them were flawed and one had no flaws but finding it was very difficult only a keen person could dare to identify the perfect sword. 

But he never expected a small kid to pass the test he put in with a single glance and he was happy someone was able to pass his test after a long time. 

"Can you teach you how to make it?" asked Yao Zhu as inside his heart he couldn't wait to learn everything that the old blacksmith knowledge in forging weapons. 

"Sure why not kid, after all, you passed my test next time you come here every morning I will teach you how to forge the untamed metal," said the old blacksmith with a beam spark in his old eyes because anyone would be happy to teach a talented person. 

"Sure I will come here every morning old man, but just hope your old mind can handle my tricky questions while forging?" said Yao Zhu as the old blacksmith laughed out loud and gave Han Laun Er the fine sword as he could already sense her connection with the sword. 

'Well, this old man is perfect for me to teach forging' thought Yao Zhu seeing how the Old blacksmith gave a sword that suited Han Luan Er and that he did it with ease with no proper testing of the Han Luan Er required to do. 

But there was another reason he chose to learn from him because he could see the profile of Old Blacksmith's information with his skill called Appraisal skill.
