Chapter 544: A Ball-aching Problem

Mu Qingping felt very angry while Mu Fuping felt very dejected. The reason was that Xia Fei had rejected her very obviously good intentions.

If Xia Fei had really assisted Mu Fuping in the design process, helping her progress farther on the path of the artificer, the Mu sisters would have undoubtedly owed him a big favor.

The Withered Mu Clan was one of the nine strongest clans in the circle. Having the two of them owe him a favor would be an extremely profitable exchange to Xia Fei. One day, he might require the help of the Mu family.

Mu Fuping’s fair face, which was as white as snow, turned even whiter. She was the sort who could easily make a man’s heart throb—inconspicuous, taciturn, and a face tinged with sorrow.

Before Mu Qingping could rage again, Xia Fei suddenly said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but that I can’t.”

Mu Fuping frowned. “Why is that? The advice you gave moments ago is extremely useful, and Fuping understood a great deal from it.”

Xia Fei faintly smiled. “No matter how much I say, I can’t change how you conceptualize or your way of thinking, as you have no idea what it means to have your life hanging by a thread and what a mortal combat is. Thus, you can’t truly design with a warrior in mind.

“Your personality is too cultured and timid. I presume that this is the first time you’ve spoken so much?”

Mu Fuping said, “If I didn’t overhear you today, we might not even meet. Be it in the clan or in Unique Pavilion, it is true that I rarely speak with outsiders.”

Xia Fei said, “I don’t understand armor design, nor do I understand artificing, but I do understand the principle of superficiality. A designer is like an artist, and they must first break free of the restraints in their heart, forgetting about their gender or status and focusing entirely on designing. It is clear that you have too many considerations in your mind, caring a lot about aesthetics and what other people feel. Plus, you charge such a high price for your products which you presumably wish to sell to those scions or those who come purely because of the reputation of the Withered Mu Clan.

“These people, just like you, have their worries and considerations, so they will naturally be effusive with praise for your armor. As time passes, you will believe that beauty is correct. Birds of a feather flock together, and as you design armor for those important figures, you will naturally make a lot of money, but will any of those important figures actually go onto the battlefield and risk their lives? In the end, it’s still warriors like us who will spill our blood on the battlefield. What the rich need is not armor with high defenses, but dazzling decorations.

“With this isolated lifestyle of yours, you can only create art. You can’t design the weapons that grassroots warriors like me require.”

Mu Fuping was taken aback, and Mu Qingping had also fallen quiet, both earnestly considering Xia Fei’s words. In truth, the reasoning was very simple. The armor needed by scions was completely different from the weapons warriors like Xia Fei, who had grown up in a rain of bullets, needed. Xia Fei was a true warrior, so he naturally would not like those flashy and impractical things.

Warriors, who truly needed combat armor, would not come to Unique Pavilion, for the products were both very expensive and impractical. The customers who visited Unique Pavilion did not need armor, for they had warriors who would fight for them. Little by little, the luxurious Unique Pavilion would become a toystore for the wealthy of the circle, nothing more than a display case.

Mu Fuping gathered her courage and said, “Young Master Xia, I wish to design armor that true warriors can use, a weapon for killing enemies. Please help me.”

Yu Hua’s wrist trembled. Mu Fuping was speaking with such solemnity that it was obvious she was sincere.

It was hard to blame her. A young miss who had resided for a long time in a mansion was interacting with another circle, and hearing a few words from someone from the grassroots like Xia Fei would leave her stunned. This was because she had never met people like this before. Xia Fei’s words all sounded new and different to her, each sentence containing a profound meaning.

They lived in the same universe, but they were people from two different worlds.

Xia Fei smiled, a hint of mischief surfaced in his mind.

“Initially, as the two of you are women, there are some things that I left unsaid. In truth, Miss Fuping’s designs have a very silly flaw.”

“What flaw?” Mu Fuping nervously asked; Mu Qingping also perked up her ears.

“Men and women aren’t the same biologically,” Xia Fei said, pointing between his legs. The Mu sisters immediately flushed red, their scalps going numb.

“In this place, men bulge out a little, but Miss Mu designed the area around the crotch very tightly. If a man wears armor like that, then...”

“Then what?”

“Their balls will hurt...”

The room fell silent. The Mu sisters’ faces rapidly turned red, then purple, a bead of sweat occasionally trickling down their foreheads.

It truly was a silly flaw. The thought of those scions, who had bought Mu Fuping’s armor, as they endured the pain in their balls and proudly stood made Yu Hua almost break out in laughter on the spot.

Xia Fei did not seem to care. In his view, this was a very serious problem. No one would wear a suit of armor which could hurt their testicles to fight. A momentary lack of caution might result in their bloodline coming to an end, and the pressure was so great that a warrior would never be able to fight in peace while wearing this sort of armor.

“So what I’m saying is that Miss Fuping may have to start your learning all the way from basic biology. Not only do you have to make the crotch bulge a little, you should add in a layer of soft protection, too. After all, that place is very fragile. Moreover, men will have them in different sizes and shapes...”

Xia Fei spoke very seriously, but the two women could not keep listening. Telling such things to these women who had yet to familiarize themselves with the ways of the world? Mu Fuping and Mu Qingping were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole they could hide themselves in.

“No more! The Mu sisters spoke as one, interrupting Xia Fei’s biology class.

...

Xia Fei and Yu Hua said their goodbyes and made their way back to the Yu family. They had been gone for ten-some days, and it was about time that they reported to Patriarch Yu Jiang.

Mu Fuping watched Xia Fei leave; after which, she softly said, “It’s not hard to understand what Xia Fei said. Why is it that no one in the clan ever told me this?”

Mu Qingping pouted. “Who in the family would dare say what he said? He’s a savage with no shame. He’s capable of speaking any sort of nonsense.”

Mu Fuping lightly nodded. The people in their family were too worried about status to point out these flaws, but Xia Fei did not have such considerations. Thus, he had bluntly pointed out all the flaws in Mu Fuping’s designs. If not for him, she would have continued designing her armors without regard for the outside world.

“Pack up our things and prepare some gifts. In two days, I will pay a personal visit to the Yu family,” Mu Fuping ordered as she got up to return to her room.

Mu Qingping curiously asked, “Older sister, why are you going to the Yu family?”

“Looking at how warriors truly live might help me when designing my armor.”

Mu Qingping said, “There’s no need to go to the Yu family for that. Ours has many warriors as well.”

“Will they tell the truth? Will they be like Xia Fei and fearlessly slander my products?”

Mu Qingping stomped her feet. “What is this?! Are you addicted to being insulted?!”

“I just want to hear some honest opinions,” Mu Fuping casually said before drifting away.

...

After reporting the killing of Dark Ghost’s group to Yu Jiang, Xia Fei returned to his calm and peaceful life. In the mornings, he would take a stroll around the city, listen to the lessons he wanted to hear, and then walk around Roaring Tiger Park. Xia Fei would allocate the rest of the time as he wished.

The Yu family taught its Law Warriors mainly through public lessons. Every day, a platform would be set up in the city; upon which, an experienced instructor would lecture on law energy and fighting techniques. The warriors could choose which one’s they wanted to listen to, and if they had any questions, they could go and ask the instructors in the morning when more than a dozen of them were present. The learning environment was very open, and it was mostly left up to the warriors to study and cultivate.

On one side of a field that broadcasted today’s public lesson, Xia Fei looked for a while before he found it uninteresting and headed back to his residence, not even visiting Roaring Tiger Park.

Roaring Tiger Park only had two exotic beasts left, and he only helped others tame their beasts once every ten days. Thus, things were fine even if Xia Fei did not go. It was essentially a job with no obligations.

In the cultivation chamber, Xia Fei took out that white jade ape. Each time he held it, he felt refreshed and a hundred times more focused. Whether he studied or cultivated, he would always be more efficient.

His primary objective was to study the Law of Energy Purification. Money was spent far too quickly in the Law Realm, and energy master was a profession that could produce its own money. Producing energy had always been Xia Fei’s dream. Breaking free of the restriction of Origin Crystals and becoming an energy master was the only path!

Alas, the clan had only one energy master, Duba, and Xia Fei had no means of acquiring his instruction. The two got along like fire and water, as Gu Tong’s demotion had been a very sharp sting to Xia Fei. Xia Fei found that he could not ask for instruction from someone he disliked.

Originally, Xia Fei thought that this ape alone could help him learn the Law of Energy Purification, but after some testing, he realized that focus was far from enough. Those threads in his brain region remained difficult to control, and his cultivation progress remained stagnant.

Placing the white jade ape on the ground, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and began wondering if this weird object had another use besides focusing the mind.

Furball lazily reclined on the side, doing all sorts of adorable things to make Xia Fei happy. Ever since his food was upgraded to grade 3 Origin Crystals, this fellow had truly become content with his simple life. Although his body did not seem to be growing any longer, his fur was growing denser and glossier. Xia Fei was sure that the day that Furball rose to the next rank was getting closer and closer. The prerequisite was that Furball had to be given enough food every day.

A pair of small eyes stared at the white jade ape. Furball was clearly very curious about this possession of Xia Fei’s. He liked it a lot and would often hug it.

While this ape was weird, it did not contain any energy, so Xia Fei was not worried about Furball eating it. Furball was the classic case of treating whoever provided his milk as his mother. Xia Fei fed him a grade 3 Origin Crystal every day, so he was very obedient.

Furball kissed the white jade ape with his mouth and nuzzled his head against it.

Suddenly, Furball burped, and a white wisp of energy drifted out from his stomach.

This sort of thing had only begun to happen recently. A grade 3 Origin Crystal had one hundred times the energy of a grade 2! Every day, after eating only one, Furball would feel very full and would constantly burp.

Strangely, the energy that Furball burped out became an extremely thin line after it passed through the white jade ape’s body!

“Eh?”

Phantom and Xia Fei immediately noticed this obvious change, and confusion appeared in their eyes.

“No way? This white jade ape can also concentrate energy?” Phantom murmured in shock
