Dandy Pill God-Chapter 259 Gu Youlan’s Phone Call

In the wee hours, Royal Hotel, presidential suite, Zhu Fei’s room.

Zhu Fei was holding a jade pendant and inscribed the last defensive rune into it.

In an instant, the jade pendant emitted a halo of light, which flickered on its surface for a while before ultimately vanishing into the pendant.

This was a defensive talisman, made from the Human Blood cinnabar that Zhu Fei had acquired not long ago from the Treasure Pavilion.

Previously, he and Qiu Ruoxue had only acquired two items from the Treasure Pavilion.

One was the Human Blood cinnabar, which he now used to create talismans, and the other was a piece of Artifact Refining material known as Star Sand.

Although Elder Hua had said earlier that he would give Zhu Fei anything they fancied, Zhu Fei didn’t take more. On one hand, he didn’t want to do so; on the other, the more important reason was that most of the items in the Treasure Pavilion weren’t of much use to him and Qiu Ruoxue at the moment.

At this moment, Zhu Fei looked at the defensive talisman he had just finished making and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

Setting aside the talisman, Zhu Fei took out a palm-sized, crystal-like, gorgeous silver ore from his Storage Magic Ring.

Without question, this chunk of silver ore was the Star Sand, which could be used for Artifact Refining or even to enhance the power and quality of a finished Magic Artifact.

To be honest, earlier on, Zhu Fei hadn’t expected to find such precious Artifact Refining material in the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhu Fei still vaguely remembered the slightly pained expressions on Hua Tian and Chen Hui’s faces when he decided to take the Star Sand.

"Heh, Treasure Pavilion, consider this a favor I Zhu Fei owe you. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll find a way to repay you," Zhu Fei muttered to himself as he toyed with the Star Sand briefly before promptly putting it back into his Storage Magic Ring.

Zhu Fei was well aware that with his current cultivation, using this piece of Star Sand for Artifact Refining was not quite possible yet.

Even using it to upgrade the quality of his Blue Treasure Sword carried a certain risk.

A slight misstep, not only would the Star Sand be wasted, but even his Blue Treasure Sword might be at risk of being scrapped.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, or until his cultivation broke through to the Artifact Refining Ninth Level, he didn’t want to use the Star Sand just yet.

Thinking this, Zhu Fei was about to take the defensive talisman he had made and go out to give it to Qiu Ruoxue first. freewёbnoνel.com

"Ding-a-ling—"

However, just at that moment, Zhu Fei’s phone, which he had with him, suddenly rang.

Zhu Fei took out his phone and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

But without overthinking it, he casually answered the call.

"Heh, Zhu Fei, you really aren’t shy with me, taking away the best thing I had, the Star Sand, right?" Gu Youlan’s elegant and pleasant voice came through as soon as Zhu Fei answered the phone.

Zhu Fei gave a wry smile, feeling a bit awkward in his heart.

But he still said, "Miss You Lan, it’s not that I’m greedy. Elder Hua’s giving me face, your Treasure Pavilion is giving me face. Since you all think so highly of Zhu Fei, wouldn’t it be disrespectful if I didn’t take it? Don’t you think that’s the logic here?"

Zhu Fei wasn’t sure where the thought came from, but he suddenly started to banter with Gu Youlan over the phone.

Anyway, the Star Sand is now in my hands, and you, Gu Youlan, even with all your abilities wouldn’t feel right asking for it back, would you?

With that in mind, Zhu Fei simply let go and switched to a different way of talking, continuing to chat idly with Gu Youlan.

"Miss You Lan, why aren’t you resting at this late hour? You didn’t call me especially for this matter, did you?"

"Heh, Zhu Fei, why didn’t I notice before that you could be like this? This doesn’t seem to fit your character, does it?"

Gu Youlan was still smiling elegantly on the other end of the phone.

Zhu Fei, hearing this, couldn’t help but break out into a slight sweat.

Indeed, Gu Youlan was right; the way he was speaking now truly was uncharacteristic of his personality.

In fact, even Zhu Fei himself wasn’t quite clear why he had such a reaction when facing Gu Youlan.

All he knew was that this woman, Gu Youlan, had imperceptibly left a profound impression on him that was impossible to forget even if he wanted to.

This was the first time in his history that Zhu Fei had such an inexplicable reaction to a woman.

"Heh heh, enough of that, I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. I’m reaching out to ask if you have any understanding of artifact refining?"

"Artifact refining?"

Zhu Fei’s heart suddenly shivered, and he realized that Gu Youlan was no ordinary woman.

Her intelligence and wisdom could almost be counted as the greatest among the women he had met.

Now, she suddenly raised such a question at this time, could this imply something?

Could it be that she had vaguely guessed he was involved in artifact refining, merely based on the fact that he had taken a piece of Star Sand?

Such a question, if posed by someone else to Zhu Fei, might not have led him to such considerations.

But Gu Youlan was different, wait a second...

Zhu Fei’s gaze suddenly hardened, as he abruptly remembered.

When he first met Gu Youlan, her eyes seemed to have fleetingly glanced over his Blue Treasure Sword a few times.

Considering her status as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator...

F*ck me! Gu Youlan, dammit! Could it be that you specifically had Hua Tian leave that piece of Star Sand there?

As this thought struck him, Zhu Fei’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

He must have been played by this woman!

In an instant, a bitter smile appeared on Zhu Fei’s lips.

He could have never expected that, after so many years in the Cultivation World in his previous life, he would capsize in a channel, outmaneuvered by this woman, Gu Youlan.

"Heh heh, what’s the matter? Don’t tell me I actually guessed right?"

Gu Youlan’s graceful voice continued to come through over the phone.

He heard her cheerfully continue, "Zhu Fei, I’ve been crafting a Magic Artifact recently, and it’s just one step away from completion, but this last step has me stumped."

After a slight pause, he heard Gu Youlan was still smiling as she said, "I’m not quite sure how to finalize this Magic Artifact, Zhu Fei. When you get back, would you come over and give me a hand? How does that sound?"

Damn it, this is a trap!

Hearing this, Zhu Fei finally confirmed that those things he had speculated about just now were definitely Gu Youlan’s doing.

Under normal circumstances, or if it were anyone else speaking to him like this, Zhu Fei would have immediately hung up the phone without bothering to say another word.

What a joke, if you dare scheme against Zhu Fei, do you think he will treat you kindly or give you the time of day? As if!

But the situation was evidently different now, for the person on the other end was Gu Youlan.

A Gu Youlan who had shown kindness towards Zhu Fei and at the same time someone he both feared and was fond of.

However, while Zhu Fei felt this way, his words were nevertheless somewhat reluctant and probing: "Miss You Lan, what are you talking about? Artifact refining is such a high-end craft; how could I, a mere martial artist, possibly understand it?"
