My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 136 I'll Confess First
Zhou Yuan never expected that his daughter had overheard their conversation.

How heartbroken she must have been at that moment!
Zhou Yuan sighed and decided not to hide it from her anymore.

"Now that you know, stop thinking about it and don't go looking for her anymore. Your mother is dead. Yao Yao said that their souls will be punished. You should thank Miss Yao Yao for waking up."

"Dad, don't worry, I won't go looking for her again, and I will definitely thank that girl properly," Zhou Honghong said.

The father and daughter talked for a long time.

The next day.

Bai Hu Yaoyao had just finished eating with her uncle when Zhou Honghong burst in.

"Thank you so much, Miss Yaoyao, for saving my life! My life, Zhou Honghong's life, is yours from now on!"

Zhou Honghong arrived at the guest courtyard early in the morning, and when she saw Bai Hu Yaoyao, she immediately knelt down.

Bai Hu Yaoyao quickly helped the woman up. This woman would be her aunt-in-law in the future, how could she kneel before her?
"Please rise, Miss. You are too kind. I only came to rescue you because of my uncle."

The white fox Yaoyao winked at her uncle, giving him a meaningful look.

The young lady has already arrived, so why are you just standing there like a wooden stake?
Zhou Honghong glanced at Xu Zhenhai, her fair face immediately flushing red, and clasped her hands in thanks, "Thank you very much, General Xu."

When his niece teased him, Xu Zhenhai's face turned red to his neck in an instant. "Miss, you don't need to be so polite. We were teammates who fought side by side back then. You helped me a lot. This is what I should do."

Xu Zhenhai was somewhat at a loss when facing Zhou Honghong.

His words were very official.

He wanted to use this method to cover up his excitement.

White Fox Yao Yao secretly rolled her eyes. Her little uncle was really useless!

How come he doesn't have the courage to confess his feelings to the girl he likes?

If they wanted to bring them together, she would have to step in. "Miss, don't listen to my uncle's superficial words. Actually, he likes you."

"He has searched for famous doctors all these years just to wake you up, but now he's just pretending."

Forehead?
Forehead?
Both of them were stunned.

That's way too blunt of you.
Xu Zhenhai grabbed Bai Hu Yaoyao by the back of her collar and pulled her over, quickly covering her mouth to prevent her from saying anything outrageous. "Um, um, you, you shouldn't listen to her nonsense."

He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground; he felt like his niece had killed him.

Zhou Honghong was a woman of the martial arts world, and she didn't care about being reserved. She glared directly at Xu Zhenhai.

"She's talking nonsense? So you're saying you don't like me?"

If he dared to say no, she would turn around and leave.

Xu Zhenhai: ·······
Why are you still as fierce as before?

"No! It's not that I don't like you, it's just..."

I just don't know how to explain it?

"Uncle, if you like someone, you like them. What's so hard about saying it?" Bai Hu Yaoyao broke free from her uncle's grasp and was getting anxious.

Why don't you learn from her and just pounce on the person you like?

"Are you even a man? If you won't say it, then I will. I like you. I've liked you before. If I hadn't been in a coma for three years, I would have already pinned you down on my bed and consummated our marriage."

"Now that three years have passed, since you haven't married and I haven't married either, I will be your wife from now on," Zhou Honghong declared directly.

Xu Zhenhai: ·······
Who the hell is the man?

How come it's reversed?
Bai Hu Yaoyao gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Well done, Auntie!"

Zhou Honghong raised her chin and smiled at Bai Hu Yaoyao. She would protect this little niece from now on!
Bai Hu Yaoyao smiled, her eyes crinkling. It wasn't appropriate for her to be here; she would leave the place for them, wouldn't she?

The white fox Yaoyao quietly left the room, closing the door behind her. Leaving aside what happened inside, she went straight to the peach grove.

Having finally seen a real-life version of the Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, I had to make the most of it.

As soon as they entered the woods, they encountered Zhou Yuan coming towards them.

"Yaoyao, so you're here! I was just about to look for you." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

"Does the Master need something from me?" Bai Hu Yaoyao asked.

"Please sit down, Miss Yaoyao. I do have something to discuss with you."

The two sat down on the stone bench under the peach tree.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Yuan finally spoke up, "To be honest, Yao Yao, I wanted to ask you to write a letter of recommendation for me. You have the highest token of Fanlou, which allows you to recommend people to compete in the Mantuo Empire."

Through Zhou Yuan's explanation, Bai Hu Yaoyao learned that the Mantuo Empire was going to hold a sword-forging competition this year.

As the name suggests, the sword-making competition is a contest to watch swordsmiths forge swords.

The Sword Forging Competition is held only once every ten years to select master sword forgers and award them a black Fanlou token.

The patriarch of the Sword Forging Manor was the one who obtained the title of Master Sword Forger, which is why he possessed the black token of Fanlou.

"Ever since our ancestor obtained that token a hundred years ago, no one in our Sword Forging Manor has ever received the title of Master Sword Forger."

"For the future of Sword Forging Manor, we must participate in this sword forging competition and obtain the title of Sword Forging Master. Otherwise, Sword Forging Manor will find it difficult to survive."

Zhou Yuan is now uncertain whether he can still obtain the title of Master Sword Maker.

As long as there's a chance to participate in the sword-making competition, there's always a glimmer of hope.

"Can't I go without a letter of recommendation?" White Fox Yaoyao didn't understand the intricacies of the matter.

Following the principle of asking questions when you don't understand, it's best to ask.

Zhou Yuan nodded. "The Sword Forging Conference requires a special invitation letter, issued by the Sword Forging Guild of the Mantuo Empire. Also, someone with the Fanlou Token can make a recommendation. I've investigated, and apart from you, young lady, no one else in our Xiyue Kingdom possesses this token."

He racked his brains trying to get a special invitation, but he didn't have the ability.

He wanted to find someone with the Fanlou token to write a letter of recommendation for him, but he couldn't find such a person after searching for a long time.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Miss Yaoyao arrived at the manor.

It seems even the heavens are helping their resort!

"I've heard that the weapons forged by Sword Forging Manor in recent years are not as good as they used to be. Why is that? Given this level of quality, is the Manor Master really confident of winning?"

She can write a letter of recommendation, but her casting skills are lacking, so it would be a waste for her to go.

Since the Sword Forging Manor is her aunt's family home, she doesn't mind helping to solve this problem.

"It makes me angry just thinking about it. If the imperial court hadn't controlled the iron mines, the manor wouldn't have been unable to find good iron. How can we forge good weapons without good iron?"

"In recent years, the imperial court has strictly controlled iron ore to prevent people from rebelling, so even we martial arts practitioners cannot buy good iron ore."

"The mountain villa's iron ore reserves are running low, but there are still enough for the sword-making competition."

To train swordsmiths, practicing with iron and stone is the best method, but unfortunately, that's all the iron and stone they have left in their manor.

After removing the iron stones used by the swordsmiths for practice, there wasn't much left.

Bai Hu Yaoyao's eyes lit up eight degrees. "You mean the weapons are of poor quality because the iron is bad?"

They don't have iron, but she does!
If she were to cooperate with the Sword Casting Manor, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
