Chapter 197 Mrs . Guo

“Little Ye, where are you going?”

“I’m going to meet Old Guo . I need to know his progress on making the sorcerer’s weapons . There’s a chance I can help him . Then, I’ll be able to catch the river spirit and return to Xi-Chuan . ”

Xiao Ma replied, “Okay . Go ahead . I feel like going back home . ”

“Home?” Ye Shaoyang looked at Xiao Ma with a puzzled face . Although Ye Shaoyang knew that Xiao Ma’s hometown was not far away, he had never seen Xiao Ma going home before, so it was surprising to hear him suggest it .

Xiao Ma nodded, “Yup . I haven’t been home for a while . Since we have nothing better to do for this coming few days, I might as well go home and be with my parents . I thought about inviting you, but you are really a busy man . ”

“It’s okay . There will always be a chance . I would love to go with you and visit your parents,” Ye Shaoyang pat Xiao Ma’s shoulder .

They walked to the taxi station and bade each other farewell . After Xiao Ma boarded a taxi, Ye Shaoyang got into another one and headed to Old Guo’s shop . Upon entering the shop, he saw a plump woman setting up some fireworks by the port .

She saw him and asked, “Young man, looking for something?”

“I… I am looking for Old Guo . ”

The lady let out a smile upon hearing this, “A consecration?”

“Ahhh, yes . ” Ye Shaoyang could already guess her identity .

“Okay, please have a seat,” the woman walked into the back of the shop and yelled into a dark room, “Hey, boss, someone’s looking for a consecration . ”

Old Guo’s voice came from within the room, “Decline it! I am busy now . I am working on my junior brother’s matter . Decline it no matter how much he offers . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s heart warmed upon hearing this . He shouted, “Senior brother, it’s me, Ye Shaoyang . ”

The door opened . Old Guo came out of the room with the plump woman by his side . He smiled to Ye Shaoyang as he pointed to the lady, “This is my wife . ”

Before Ye Shaoyang could greet her, Mrs . Guo walked up to him and gently tapped him on the shoulder, “So, you are Ye Shaoyang? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Please, have a seat!”

Ye Shaoyang sat down on a stool, while Mrs . Guo stared at him with a big friendly smile, “Old Guo had already told me that you were in Stone city . I kept asking him to bring you home for dinner, but he said you were always busy . He was busy with your sorcerer’s weapon for the whole day today, so I came over to keep an eye on the shop . What a lucky coincidence that you came! I, as your aunt, must prepare nice dishes for you, so you both can sit down and have a drink . ”

She kept referring herself as aunt, and this secretly made Ye Shaoyang a little uncomfortable . Why would I call her my aunt if I call her husband my senior brother? This doesn’t make sense at all!

Old Guo was not happy either . He stared at his wife unhappily, “Don’t mess it up, darling! He is my Junior Brother with the same master, how can he call you his aunt? Are you my aunt too then?”

Then, Old Guo turned to Ye Shaoyang, “Please don’t mind her . It’s great that you are here, I have something to show you . ”

Ye Shaoyang followed Old Guo into the dark room . It was a spacious basement ventilated by a small ventilator and illuminated by only an electric bulb .

Ye Shaoyang had never been in this room before . He looked around the room . It was a room filled with self-made weapons, all arranged neatly on racks . Some were completed and some were in progress .

Ye Shaoyang was amused, “Senior Brother, your sorcery skill might not be good, but you are certainly the best weapon inventor among sorcerers!”

Old Guo laughed out loud with pleasure . He picked up a shiny arrow on the floor and handed it to Ye Shaoyang, “I made it according to your request . It can be fitted into a spear gun . ”

Ye Shaoyang held it in his hands and observed it closely . Under the faint light, the arrowhead gleamed gold . Its body was charcoal-black and was carved with verses of Yellow Court Classic . Its tail was made of colorful feathers .

Old Guo explained, “I made this according to your request . The head is pure gold The body is made of tungsten and potion . The tail is made of an alpha cockerel’s feathers .

Ye Shaoyang nodded with satisfaction . Old Guo picked up a shiny net from the floor . At each intersection of the net was a copper coin . Although the coins were normal copper coins and weak in power, when bound together they became a strong force . Besides, it was no ordinary fishing net . Each net hole varied in sizes, and the words ‘The Mighty Power of Maoshan’s Strength’ were sewed in the center of the net with gold thread .

It was a sorcerer’s weapon known as the Coin Net of Words .

Ye Shaoyang said, “We don’t need to wait . I am free now, so I came over to help . Let’s finish these sorcerer’s weapons together . Then, we can set off today and catch the river spirit . ”

Old Guo did not object . He assigned some work to Ye Shaoyang . Ye Shaoyang would be in charge of the materials, and Old Guo handled the machining . After a little more than an hour of hard work, they were almost done, and Mrs . Guo came down to invite them for lunch . They came out of the basement, and Ye Shaoyang could immediately smell the dishes .

The dining table at the back of the shop was filled with all kinds of home-cooked dishes .

Mrs . Guo showered Ye Shaoyang with hospitality . She invited him to take a seat as she opened a bottle of fine liquor and poured it into his cup . She was such a generous host that she kept filling Ye Shaoyang’s bowl with food and his cup full of liquor . This made Ye Shaoyang feel a little embarrassed . However, her cooking skills were really impressive . All of her dishes tasted delicious, especially the stewed pork rib with vinegar .

“Shaoyang, how long are you planning to stay in Stone City?” Mrs . Guo asked .

Ye Shaoyang scratched his head, “I don’t know, but I guess I will be here for quite a long time . ”

Mrs . Guo was delighted to hear this, “Stone City is a nice place . You should stay here for good . You are such a handsome young lad . Let me introduce you to some pretty girls . ”

Old Guo chipped in, “What do you know? Junior Brother already has someone in his heart, and guess who she is? The heiress of Star City Corporation!”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes, “Stop saying that! We are just friends . ”

After a few drinks, Mrs . Guo said, “Shaoyang, your Senior Brother and I, we have only one daughter, and she is away from home for her studies . We have no son . You should come here more often and treat this as your own home . ”

Ye Shaoyang almost spat out the drink in his mouth . One minute ago, he had been Old Guo’s Junior Brother, but the next he was almost his son! However, Mrs . Guo was such a nice woman, so Ye Shaoyang did not care to correct her .

It was a meal that Ye Shaoyang was totally satisfied with . Not only were the dishes delicious, but the couple was so nice to him that he felt at home with them . Ye Shaoyang really appreciated it .

After the meal, Ye Shaoyang and Old Guo had some tea while Mrs . Guo cleaned the table . They planned to just relax for a short while before they headed to work . Suddenly, Ye Shaoyang received a phone call from Tan Xiaohui asking where he was .

“Can you come over to my place now? I am at the hotel . I have someone here with me who you must meet,” Tan Xiao Hui said in a flat tone .

“Who?” Ye Shaoyang curiously asked .

Tan Xiaohui paused for a moment before she answered, “A descendant of Madam Chee . ”

Ye Shaoyang was taken aback . Isn’t Madam Chee a demon? How could she have a descendant?
