Chapter 428: Chapter 273: He’s Not Worthy!_3

Tang Fei looked at the Dragon Horn Sword, which was trembling incessantly, and after a slight pause, he spoke, "The Skull Hammer is the weapon of the Evil God, an object of utmost ferocity and malevolence."

"And this Dragon Horn Sword was forged from the horn of Yin Jiao, who was born in the utterly dark Burial Land. How a creature like Yin Jiao could grow so large and have such long horns, living so many years and consuming numerous sinister entities..."

"In essence, they belong to the same category... Moreover, as heavenly and earthly treasures, they possess their own spirits. When they sense each other’s presence, they attract each other and resonate..."

Little Fatty absorbed the points explained by Tang Fei and said, "Brother means... both my Skull Hammer and your Dragon Horn Sword... are not really good things?"

Tang Fei paused for a moment, nodded, and replied, "If that’s how you want to understand it... that works too."

"Bro, just now I only felt it move a little, not too violently... The closer they got to each other, the more violently they jumped."

"That’s like birds of a feather flocking together, I guess," Tang Fei said.

"Oh." Little Fatty nodded, feeling that his brother made a lot of sense.

"I just wonder if they have any synergistic effect," Tang Fei spoke again. "If your hammer and my Dragon Horn Sword could enhance each other’s attack power when used together... that would be great."

"Should we find someone to test it on?" Little Fatty suggested.

"Where are we going to find someone now?" Tang Fei replied gruffly. "Unless we try it on ourselves."

Little Fatty shook his head and objected, "No, no, I can’t fight with you, big brother... The moment I see you standing opposite me, I just can’t bring my hammer down."

"..."

Tang Fei remembered the moment he first laid eyes on the Dragon Horn Sword; there was a moment of trance.

It was as if his mind was attracted or disrupted by the sword. If such a miraculous effect could occur during a fight...

What a blissful thing that would be?

In a battle between experts, an instant could be eternal.

Unfortunately, since Little Fatty was unwilling to fight him and he couldn’t just pull someone in to test the sword, he had to keep his doubts to himself.

"Bro, what are we eating tonight?" Little Fatty looked at Tang Fei and asked.

"Didn’t you just have a piece of cake?"

"That was a snack, not dinner," Little Fatty insisted righteously. "I haven’t had dinner yet."

"..."

The night deepened.

Lu Siyu lay quietly on the couch, the living room table piled high with birthday gifts from everyone.

Because of her tragic background, the Lu family treated her with both sympathy and pity, so they took extra care of her.

Every birthday, everyone tried to gather together as much as possible to prevent her from feeling neglected. Even those who couldn’t make it prepared their birthday gifts in advance.

She hadn’t opened those gifts but thought instead about the small box Tang Fei had handed her in the car.

She had asked Tang Fei what was inside, and he had told her to open it and see for herself.

For some reason, she hadn’t opened the box at that time.

She found her purse, which she always carried, and retrieved the black box from inside.

It was a simple paper box without any wrapping, easily opened.

From the outside appearances, whoever had prepared the gift had been quite casual.

Inside the box was a wooden carving of four figures standing side by side, holding hands.

The craftsmanship was exquisite; all four figures looked lifelike.

Lu Siyu recognized instantly that it was the work of that man.

He, gifted with skilled hands, was known as the most talented Mechanic in Above the Galaxy and, along with another man, had been dubbed one of the ’Imperial Treasures’ by the King.

There was a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Their eyes were tender, and they smiled at each other, appearing like a loving couple.

Between them stood a quirky little girl and a robust little boy.

The girl was slightly taller, and her eyes and brows had some semblance to Lu Siyu. The boy was a few years older, but curiously, his face was blurry, and he had no eyes.

This wooden figure was found by Tang Fei in an old man’s room when Phoenix Sect came to relocate them to New Star, and the old man had disappeared, leaving only a note.

Tang Fei and Little Fatty had searched everywhere in the old man’s room and found the wooden figure hidden in a wall hole.

At that time, they had not understood the meaning of the wooden figure, merely thinking that the old man had harbored fanciful thoughts of starting a family, imagining having a beautiful wife and a pair of lovely children...

Only he had carved himself a bit too handsomely.

Only after they reached New Star and learned about the old man’s background did they realize the significant meaning behind the wood figure he had hidden.

Tang Fei had brought the wooden carving to New Star and then took the opportunity of Lu Siyu’s birthday to give it to her.

He knew that Lu Siyu lacked nothing and cared about little.

If possible, he wanted Lu Siyu to know that he loved her, more than she could imagine.
