Chapter 13 Preparing gifts
In the end, Chen Yan found out nothing and was instead given a cold stare by Gu Yuena.

Chen Yan held his head and sat on the chair in the bedroom, muttering to himself.

"My head hurts..."

There is indescribable vicissitudes in his eyes.

……

"Xiaoyan, come and sit down! Why are you standing there?"

Inside the Blacksmiths Association, Zhenhua, the master craftsman whose fame spread throughout the entire Douluo Star, was now smiling at his proud disciple in front of him.

"What's wrong? You look distressed. Did you have a quarrel with Xiaona?"

No, how can you tell that? In my previous life, I was reading a novel in front of my mother and she asked me what I was reading and why I was laughing. I just accepted it. Maybe sometimes I can't suppress the corners of my mouth when reading; but you can tell that I have no expression on my face now?

That's quite an observation. But it's useless, otherwise you wouldn't be single now.

Zhenhua naturally didn't know that Chen Yan was complaining about him. He was still immersed in watching the younger generation fall in love and reminiscing about the past.

How wonderful! Back then, my junior sister and I were like this too, we were childhood sweethearts, I remember that year...

Mu Chen slowly typed a question mark in the air, and his face turned black. Damn, that's my wife now! And you were clearly holding the forging hammer tightly at that time. You and the forging hammer were childhood sweethearts, okay!

Of course, this was a fantasy time, and the scene where Mu Chen angrily chased Zhenhua and scolded him for being shameless did not occur.

Anyway, based on this point, Chen Yan felt that he and he were the same. The only difference was that he had lived longer than him and had a good friend, Makino, who was also single.

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Zhenhua was reminiscing about his youthful years when he suddenly felt a strange gaze.

I think he has encountered setbacks in this relationship, but he has no other choice. He wants to ask his seniors but is too embarrassed to ask! Zhenhua thought so.

"Ahem... Is there anything you want to ask me?"

He decided to attack from the side first.

Chen Yan stared at his master in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the many things hidden in the association.

There are many semi-artifacts here. Maybe you can find one or two with unique effects and exquisite appearance?
“Teacher…”

"What's the matter? Tell me, don't be shy!"

"Hey, then I'll tell you!"

Chen Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes glowing green.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

"..."

Zhenhua looked at the soul-guided car going away in the sunset, silent and silent. He looked even more haggard than he had in the morning.

“I’m old, I’m old!”

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, with some heartache in his eyes, but mostly memories.

When people get old, they always love to reminisce about their youth!

A breeze blew past, disturbing her carefully designed and maintained hairstyle. Although her hair remained black, tiny wrinkles had already appeared around her eyes.

Even as a Titled Douluo, he couldn't resist the passage of time! Zhenhua smiled awkwardly and walked back to the association slowly.

……

Time passed day by day, slowly approaching the day when we first met three years ago.

Chen Yan was busy like a top every day, and he prepared the gifts in a hurry.

As for what it is, although it can be guessed immediately, let's keep it a suspense. (ω)
Now he has to pay off his debts for a while.

"boom-"

The hammer struck the meteorite, making a dull sound, and the entire workbench also roared and trembled under the huge force.

As an extraterrestrial object, meteorite iron is not only rare but also of extremely high quality. It has always been a popular material for making battle armor and is very expensive.

At this moment, Chen Yan was concentrating, and every time he struck, he was extremely precise, as if he was listening to the pulse of the metal. The fire reflected on his face, reflecting the sweat and determination. With each fierce strike, the impurities in the meteorite iron were gradually eliminated, and the whole piece of metal became purer, and the sound became more melodious and crisp. It seemed to absorb the power of the stars from the starry sky, and as the hammer fell, it emitted a faint light all over.

"boom!"

As Chen Yan raised his hand high, the huge hammer fell heavily. A white light wrapped around the metal. The light shot up into the sky, more than three feet high, and lasted for a long time.

Thousands of forgings have spirits! First-class realm.

Chen Yan did not stop swinging the hammer in his hand, but continued to forge the meteorite. His eyes flashed with his persistence in forging and his pursuit of quality. Raise, swing down, raise, swing down...

With each strike, the meteorite gradually became harder and purer. Chen Yan's skills and experience enabled him to sense the changes inside the metal. He seemed to be able to hear the song of the metal and feel the soul of the metal.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of the hammer echoed throughout the forging room like the rhythm of music. Chen Yan's forehead was slightly sweaty, and his hands did not stop moving. In a blink of an eye, a purified titanium crystal and Thousand Forged Magic Silver were placed on the table.

During the metal calcination, Chen Yan took a deep breath in his heart. Then, his arms swung like lightning, and each strike was with great power and precision, following the metal texture, and the red-hot metal was finally processed and synthesized.

Under the communication of Chen Yan's soul power, the three pieces of metal moved closer to each other, and under the forging of external force, the metals were squeezed inward, blended, and finally fused together.

Finally, when the last hammer fell, a dazzling light burst out in the entire forging room, as bright as the sun. After the light dissipated, a piece of exquisite alloy appeared in front of Chen Yan.

This dark silver metal exudes a soft glow, its surface is as smooth as a mirror, shining with a brilliance that is hard to look at directly. Every inch of the metal reveals the painstaking effort Chen Yan has put into it, and this piece of metal, which is only one step away from spiritual forging, seems to have its own real life.

Chen Yan gently stroked the metal, feeling its strength and beauty. Hmm, it looks like it's of high quality. Let's test it first.

Chen Yan took out some professional equipment and tinkered with it.

96 percent, damn, am I that awesome?

Hehe, it's mine. While Chen Yan was taking the alloy for himself, he was thinking about making a rough shape of this piece of metal. How about making a long skirt, or attaching it directly to the legs?
While thinking, he put the metal into an exquisite box. Call it a day and continue tomorrow!
Not to mention, Chen Yan was still a little bit expectant and nervous at this moment, wondering what her expression would be when this gift appeared in front of her. He still hoped that this gift he prepared with all his heart would not only be useful, but also that she would like it.

In the past three years, I have been living in her house for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and I feel embarrassed. I hope this gift can convey his deep gratitude.

Time passed quietly. On this day, Chen Yan got up early and prepared the gift box. He stood there, holding the gift box tightly in his hand, feeling a little nervous.

I've been reborn, so why would I still be nervous?

Chen Yan laughed at himself, took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked towards the room.

"Deng deng deng..."

There was a knock on the door.
