Chapter 585

General Huai Yan looked at Lin Yu and Liu Ying with concern. At this time, the temperature in the workshop was getting higher and higher. The fire was burning fiercely. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air, making people feel as if they were in a furnace.

Such a hot environment is really a torture for foreign guests, not to mention that Lin Yu and the others have important tasks on their shoulders. If they get heatstroke and delay their work, it will be bad.

So, he turned around and whispered a few words to the guard beside him. After receiving the order, the guard quickly walked to Lin Yu and Liu Ying and said respectfully, "The fire here is blazing and the heat is unbearable. Please follow me and don't get too hot."

Lin Yu and Liuying nodded slightly, glanced at the guard, and left with him.

As soon as I stepped out of the workshop, a wave of heat still hit me in the face. It was the hot breath surging out from the open workshop door, as if to ignite everything around.

Lin Yu looked back and saw flames rising into the sky in the workshop. The fire in the furnace was burning brightly, and the orange-red flames were jumping wildly.

The craftsmen moved around, their figures busy and determined, the hammers in their hands rising and falling rhythmically, and each strike was accompanied by the crisp sound of metal colliding.

Although the craftsmen have stopped their usual iron-making process and have devoted all their efforts to solving the problem of the special observation equipment raised by Lin Yu, there are still many complicated processes to be completed.

Some precious and exotic raw materials must be quenched in the high temperature of the furnace before they can show their unique properties and inject magical power into the utensils.

The raw materials placed by the furnace are of various shapes. Some are crystal clear, like clear crystals, sparkling with charming luster under the reflection of the fire; some are dark and heavy, with wrinkles on the surface. They are quietly waiting for the moment to be thrown into the fire, waiting to be reborn from the fire.

The guards took Lin Yu and Liuying to a relatively cool side hall, which was simply but elegantly decorated. Several paintings depicting fairy boats were hung on the walls, adding a touch of tranquility to the tense atmosphere.

There were several stone benches and stone tables in the hall. Some cool drinks and fresh Zhu Ming specialty fruits had been prepared on the tables to dispel the remaining heat on their bodies. As soon as Lin Yu and Liu Ying sat down, they couldn't wait to pick up the drinks and drink them all. The cool feeling went down their throats and went straight to their hearts, making them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your care." Liuying thanked the guard with a smile, her eyes full of sincerity.

The guard waved his hand slightly and said, "You two don't have to be polite. This is our job. Once the craftsmen have finished their work, I hope you have a smooth trip."

After the guard finished speaking, he stepped aside and guarded silently, allowing Lin Yu and Liuying to rest for a while and recuperate.

Just as Lin Yu and Liu Ying were taking a short rest in the side hall, a sound of light footsteps came closer and closer.

Lin Yu looked up and saw Yun Li walked in, still barefoot as always. Her white feet stepped on the ground, forming a strange contrast with the hot atmosphere of the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat.

In this Zhuming land, the sun is scorching, and the brick and stone ground outside is baked hot. Ordinary people walking on it with shoes can feel the soles of their shoes being quickly heated. It is hard to imagine how Yun Li endured it barefoot.

What's more, the place is filled with moisture, and many roads are always wet and covered with tiny water stains and mud due to the condensation of moisture or some special irrigation systems.

If you step on it barefoot, you will definitely get stuck with sticky mud and water, but Yunli seems to be unaware of it and continues to go her own way, with steps as light as if she is walking in the clouds.

As soon as Yun Li entered the side hall, her eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, with a complex emotion in her eyes, including anger, curiosity, and a hint of imperceptible concern.

She raised her chin slightly and said in a somewhat indulgent tone, "Huh, you are really here, I knew that grandpa must be biased towards you and let you hide here." Having said that, her eyes couldn't help but wander around Lin Yu, or she simply wanted to find an excuse to talk to Lin Yu.

"Yun Li, it's not as you think. The workshop is too hot. General Huai Yan sympathizes with us and asked the guards to take us here for a while. We are also concerned about the tool making and have no intention of hiding away."

Yun Li snorted lightly, took small steps towards the stone table, casually picked up a Xianzhou specialty fruit, tossed it in her hand, seemingly nonchalant, but in fact she was always paying attention to Lin Yu's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

"You are the only ones who have so many things to do that you have to trouble our Zhu Ming craftsmen to make some fancy things for you." She muttered as she took a bite of the fruit. The juice splashed out, leaving a bright red mark on her lips.

Seeing this, Lin Yu subconsciously took out a piece of paper and wanted to help Yun Li wipe the corners of her mouth. He originally wanted to take out a handkerchief.

Just as he stretched out his hand, his mind suddenly flashed back to her ashamed and stubborn look when she was wiping his feet. His heart tightened and he quickly retracted his hand in a slightly flustered manner.

This subconscious action of his was actually a habit he developed from helping Liuying and Sanyueqi wipe their mouths.

Yun Li naturally noticed it. Her eyes flashed and she reacted very quickly. Before Lin Yu could completely retract his hand, she grabbed Lin Yu's hand.

"Why are you taking it back?" She raised her chin and locked her eyes on Lin Yu, with a bit of questioning and a bit of coquettishness, and the hand that was holding Lin Yu showed no intention of letting go.

"Nothing...nothing, I...I just saw some juice on the corner of your mouth, and I wanted to wipe it off for you, so..."

Yun Li didn't believe his words. She raised her eyebrows, and a subtle arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, with a hint of provocation, "I want you to wipe it now, what can you do?" As she said that, she raised her face slightly, looking like she was ready to be picked, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her nervousness in her heart.

Seeing this, Lin Yu wanted to refuse, but was afraid of angering her even more, so he had to bite the bullet, quickly took back the paper, took out a handkerchief and slowly approached Yun Li.

At this moment, his hand was only inches away from her face, and he could clearly feel the warm breath she exhaled. The breath brushed across the back of his hand, making him feel itchy and making his heart even more flustered.

He carefully wiped the juice from the corner of Yun Li's mouth. His movements were gentle and he didn't dare to blink, for fear of accidentally causing trouble.

"Humph, why are you being so cautious? Can I eat you?"

Her cheeks were lightly flushed because she had just bitten the fruit. At this moment, she was bright and beautiful, which was intertwined with her usual arrogant appearance, outlining a different kind of charm, making Lin Yu feel that she was more dreamy and elusive.

Although Yun Li's temperament was such that she was always arrogant and critical of others, the close contact at this moment made him feel her special gentleness.
