Although Lu Yuan said that everyone should set off now.

However, the deployment of a battlefield was definitely not something that Lu Yuan could end with a single sentence.

Tactical arrangements, logistics, defense line setup…

It would take a certain amount of time to complete all these.

Therefore, after this gathering ended, the practitioners of the Devil Slayers Division still had about half a day of free time.

Using this half a day, they could do the final aftermath.

After all, although Lu Yuan had driven away those practitioners who still had families, it was still a profession that was constantly on the line between life and death.

Every practitioner more or less had their own ‘spiritual harbor’ to relieve the pressure of life and death.

Grand Xia Imperial Capital, Xicheng District.

Dang, dang, dang…

“Master Iron-ox, is my hoe done?”

“Alright, alright.”

Iron-ox replied as he placed the hoe into the water to cool down.

As the red-hot iron faded away, a brand-new hoe appeared in front of the farmer.

The farmer took the brand new hoe with a face filled with joy.

This was because the new hoe looked very tough and durable.

Holding his new hoe, the farmer said gratefully, “Master Iron-ox, your craftsmanship is really amazing. The things in your blacksmith shop in the city are of the best quality and the prices are the most reasonable.”

Faced with the farmer’s praise, Iron-ox rubbed his head and smiled foolishly.

Looking at the simple and honest Iron-ox, the farmer seemed to have thought of something and said jokingly, “Master Iron Bull, I see that you’re not young anymore. Why don’t you find a wife to live with?”

“With your conditions, you should be able to find a good wife in the city.”

Faced with this question, Iron-ox instantly became shy. Then, he quietly turned his head and looked in a certain direction opposite the shop.

Seeing this, the farmer immediately looked over.

What entered the farmer’s eyes was a middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament.

Meanwhile, the woman was taking care of her child while running her tofu business.

Seeing Iron-ox staring at her, the farmer seemed to understand something and said with a strange smile, “I was wondering why Master Iron-ox didn’t find a wife. It turns out that you already have someone you like!”

“But I heard that Mdm. Gan’s husband died a few years ago. Now, she has a family and runs a shop alone to raise her children.”

“Master Iron Bull, if you take a fancy to her, you have to hurry up.”

“After all, a widow has a lot of trouble in front of her. With Master Iron-ox’s introverted personality, if you’re slow, she might remarry to someone else.” Faced with the farmer’s teasing, Iron-ox blushed and did not say anything. At the same time, the young woman surnamed Gan, who was running a tofu stall across from him, seemed to have noticed Iron-ox’s gaze and subconsciously looked up at him.

In an instant, their eyes met.

However, after their eyes met, they quickly looked away.

Iron-ox lowered his head and picked up the sledgehammer in his hand. He started to hammer the refined iron that did not need to be hammered.

The woman lowered her head and tidied up the tofu stall that didn’t need to be tidied up.

The more they tried to cover up, the more obvious their actions were. Even an uneducated farmer could see that they seemed to have some feelings for each other.

At the thought of this, the farmer’s face immediately revealed an amused smile. Then, he carried his new hoe and said,” Hahaha, so Master Iron-ox isn’t as honest as I thought!”

“Hurry up, hurry up. I still hope to be able to attend your wedding one day.” After teasing him, the farmer left with his hoe.

In the following period of time, Iron-ox forged some ironware and handed it to the customers who had previously ordered them.

At sunset, Iron-ox looked at the streets that had gradually become sparse, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

A moment later, Iron-ox walked out of the blacksmith shop and closed the door.

On the door of the shop, there was a sign that said ‘I’m out on business.’

However, just as Iron-ox was about to leave the shop and head to the Devil Slayers Department, a little girl tugged at his trousers.

Iron-ox lowered his head and saw a toot little girl holding him in one hand and holding a bowl of tofu pudding in the other. She was smiling at him.

Under Iron-ox’s puzzled gaze, the little girl smiled and said, “Uncle Iron-ox, this is the tofu pudding I made for you.”

“Mom said that she wanted to try selling this in the future, so she asked me to bring it to Uncle Iron-ox to try.”

“Mom also said that Iron-ox is an honest person. If it’s delicious, you will say it is delicious. If it’s not delicious, you will say that it is not delicious. Uncle won’t lie, so it’s most suitable for you to try it.”

Hearing this, Iron-Ox raised his head and looked across.

The woman seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Not only did she look away, but her hands were also fiddling with his hair. It was very interesting.

Iron-ox naturally wouldn’t reject the beauty’s good intentions.

He bent down to pick up the tofu pudding in the little girl’s hand and swallowed it in no time.

Looking at the bowl of steaming hot tofu pudding, which was eaten by Iron-ox in a big mouthful.

The little girl was dumbfounded.

With such a big appetite, how many children could he eat in one meal?

After finishing the bowl of tofu pudding, Iron-ox opened his mouth.

“Very, very good. It’s delicious.”

Hearing Iron Bull’s stuttering voice, the little girl jumped up happily.

“If Uncle Iron-ox says it’s delicious, it means that Mom’s cooking is really delicious! Mom, did you hear that? Uncle Iron-ox praised your cooking!” After hearing her daughter’s words, the woman finally found a reason to come over.

She left her tofu stall and walked to Iron-ox.

“It’s just a child’s joke. Iron-ox, don’t take it seriously.”

“I learned this from my next-door grandmother. It’s my first time making it.

There should be a lot of shortcomings in it.”

As she spoke, the young woman shyly looked Iron-ox.

“Tell me the truth. What I did…Is it really delicious?”

At this moment, the young woman surnamed Gan had a peach blossom face and a seductive look in her eyes.

Even Iron-ox, who had dominated Drunken Cloud Village for many years, felt that he couldn’t take it anymore.

Not only was his face as red as a monkey’s butt, but his body was also smoking. He couldn’t say anything for a long time.

“Mom, look, Uncle Iron-ox has smoke coming out of him!”

Such an interesting scene immediately caused the woman surnamed Gan to cover her mouth and chuckle.

Just as Iron-ox was about to say something, he suddenly saw three fireworks rising in the sky outside the city.

Looking at the rising fireworks, the silly smile on Iron-ox’s face gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable determination.

Noticing the change in Iron-ox’s expression, the young woman seemed to have sensed something and asked with concern, “Iron-ox, what’s the matter?” Iron-ox looked at her and said after a moment of silence, “Yes…”

As he left, Iron-ox raised the empty bowl in his hand and said, “It’s delicious. I hope I can eat it again when I come back.”

Hearing this, the young woman stroked her hair behind her ears and gently said, “Okay, I’ll make some more for you when you come back.”

“Alright.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Iron-ox strode out of the city.

Looking at Iron-ox’s back, for some reason, Gan felt a sense of oppression.

It was as if she would never have the chance to say something if she didn’t say it now.

However, after opening her mouth a few times, she still could not say anything to make him stay. She could only watch helplessly as Iron-ox disappeared from her sight….
