Chapter 4641 — Are You Disappointed?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After everyone had laughed and joked for a while, the atmosphere shifted from its initial surprise into something warm and cozy. The three girls were close friends, needless to say, and Wei Zhao was deeply acquainted with all of them; even with Ning Xuefei, he had shared an unforgettable experience on the Far North Island. So there was naturally no distance between him and the three women.
"These past two years on West Island, Jingjing, what have you been up to?" This topic was unavoidable. Han Jingyi could learn about Wei Zhao through Shangguan Lan'er, but he knew nothing of her doings. Yet even in the dark, he could roughly guess: this girl was surely researching something—perhaps she had built another automatic pill-refining furnace?
"Hehe, I won't tell you yet. Brother Wei Zhao, come with Jingjing and see for yourself!" Han Jingyi stuck out her tongue cutely, deliberately building suspense.
"Oh? Don't tell me you've come up with some treasure?" Wei Zhao was taken aback, his interest instantly piqued. He urged Han Jingyi to lead the way at once, and Ning Xuefei and Shangguan Lan'er naturally tagged along. The whole group set off eagerly for Ning Xuefei's private research chamber—even dinner was forgotten.
The moment he stepped inside, Wei Zhao's eyes lit up. This was no mere room—it was a great hall! It looked as though at least five or six rooms had been knocked through to make one space. Such a vast hall could easily host an indoor hundred-meter dash; it was, as expected, the research chamber of West Island's princess.
Looking around, he saw strange objects everywhere—bizarre shapes and all sorts of oddities. Wei Zhao considered himself fairly worldly, but at this moment he felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden: the whole room was crammed with things, and yet he could not recognize a single one. He could not help clicking his tongue. "Have you two built yourselves a museum of future technology?"
That was no exaggeration. Han Jingyi had always loved researching all manner of things, and it happened that Ning Xuefei was a kindred spirit—otherwise she would never have such a huge research chamber. Once the two women joined forces, there was no stopping them. Almost everything that passed through their hands ended up altered beyond recognition, which was how the scene before them had come to be.
The great room was filled with the fruits of their research, spanning an astonishing range—from cultivation to every aspect of daily life, nothing was left out. Though ninety-nine percent of it was worthless junk, the remaining achievements were potentially world-changing inventions if brought into the open.
Han Jingyi was a genius beyond dispute, and Ning Xuefei, as the princess of West Island, was herself extraordinarily gifted and could draw on any resource West Island had to offer at any time. Raised that way since childhood, she was naturally no worse than Han Jingyi.
One had the typical scientific mindset of the mortal realm; the other came from the ancient heritage of Cloud Terrace Island. One brimmed with endless ingenious ideas; the other possessed a vast, profound store of learning. When the two came together, it was a true matching of pearl and jade, each bringing out the best in the other—a research duo made by heaven!
Wei Zhao was dazzled by the roomful of strange inventions, while Shangguan Lan'er and little Curly Bear, as if they had discovered a new continent, hopped about shouting with excitement! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to cast your
