Chapter 105.2

Lin Beifan was delighted: Quick, show me, what treasures do we have?

First up is this Ice Cicada Sword!

Ouyezi presented a sword as if offering a treasure. This sword was very special; it was actually transparent.

This was forged by myself using cold mountain stone, jade, and other materials. Its completely transparent like ice and thin as a cicadas wing, and feels almost weightless when held, hence the name! But dont be fooled by its thinness and lightness; its a powerful weapon capable of slaying enemies, splitting mountains and rocks with ease!

Lin Beifan picked it up to examine: Beautiful!

With a casual swing, he effortlessly cut through a stone bench.

And it cuts through iron as if it were mud!

Continuing to swing, he noticed that the blade seemed to disappear, slicing through the air without making a sound.

Silent and stealthy, this sword is perfect for assassinations. Indeed, it is a rare treasure of a blade. I shall bestow it upon Bai Zhu! He casually tossed it towards a corner.

Bai Zhu revealed herself and caught the Ice Cicada Sword as if he had obtained the most precious treasure, saying, Thank you, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, now take a look at the second sword! Ouyezi opened the second sword case.

This is the Green Spirit Sword. It looks no different from an ordinary sword, but this blade also cuts through iron as if it were mud! Moreover, this sword is sentient. As long as one possesses it for a long time, one can communicate with the swords spirit and control it as easily as ones own limbs, greatly enhancing its power!

Lin Beifan wielded the Green Spirit Sword and faintly felt that there was a soul within the sword, wanting to communicate with him.

This is also a fine sword! Wine Sword Immortal loves swords, and it would be most fitting to give it to him!

I also think that he is the most suitable recipient!

Following that, Ouyezi presented two more precious swords and a divine spear, which Lin Beifan treasured as if they were priceless.

Ouyezi is truly skilled at forging; not only does he forge well, but he is also highly productive. Recruiting him was indeed the right decision.

However, as good as these precious swords are, they cannot compare to the sword I am preparing to forge!

Ouyezis eyes shone brightly: Next, I plan to use meteoric iron as the main material, with the skull of a giant python as an auxiliary, along with other precious materials, to create the number one sword in the world! A sword so formidable that it will shock the heavens and earth, make ghosts and gods weep, and be unmatched by anything

Lin Beifan cheered loudly, Go ahead and refine, I fully support you!

With Lin Beifans strong support, Ouyezi hurriedly ran back.

Then, Lin Beifan, carrying a divine spear, went to the military camp to find Chai Yuxin.

At that time, Chai Yuxin was training the female soldiers, and it seemed that they were already shaping up quite well.

She was very surprised to see Lin Beifan, Your Majesty, what brings you here?

Lin Beifan smiled and said, I had nothing pressing, so I made a special trip to see you and to check on the training of the Great Xia female soldiers! Also, I have brought a gift for you!

What gift? Chai Yuxin asked excitedly.

Lin Beifan clapped his hands and commanded, Bring it forth!

Four eunuchs struggled to carry over a long spear, its entire body a silvery grey.

Lin Beifan smiled and said, This is a divine spear specially forged for you by Master Ouyezi at my request. It is named the Blazing Flame Divine Spear! Indestructible, it can summon flames to harm the enemy and break through Innate Astral Qi. Take a look, do you like it?

Chai Yuxin grabbed the Blazing Flame Divine Spear with one hand and swung it around.

Instantly, flames blazed fiercely, like a phoenix spreading its wings in flight, and the surrounding snow melted away.

It took a long while before he could lower his hand from the icy coldness of his chest, and with a wry smile, he said, Forget it, forget it. My fate with senior sister has already been severed. Whatever happens to you all is none of my concern. Im ready to go back! However, Lin Beifan

The Ninth Princes tone became stern: If I ever find out that youve treated senior sister poorly, I will never let you go!

Rest assured, I will take good care of Yuxin!

Lin Beifan said with some reluctance. Ninth Prince, youre leaving so soon? To be honest, its rare to meet someone as interesting as you. I really dont want to part ways! Before you leave, theres something I want to tell you!

Looking into Lin Beifans earnest and sincere eyes, the Ninth Prince felt a stir in his heart: What is it that you want to say to me?

Lin Beifan: I wish that after you return, youll be blessed with a good marriage and have children soon!

The Ninth Prince, trembling with anger, retorted: Youre so malicious! You want to trap me completely, so I wont be able to compete with you for senior sister anymore!

My good intentions are taken for donkey liver and lungs Fine, fine, fine, Ill change to another phrase!

Lin Beifan once again said earnestly: I wish that after you return, youll definitely meet your true destined woman as well as her husband!

The Ninth Prince: F*ck! Thats even more malicious!

Following that, the Ninth Prince took one more longing look at Chai Yuxin and left with great reluctance.

As the years end approached, the festive atmosphere grew stronger.

Every household had already started to put up lights and decorations, joyously welcoming the New Year.

This New Year holds a special significance for the common people of Great Xia.

Throughout this year, many have had their fill of food, earned money, moved into new homes, donned new clothes, and seen their lives improve. Things they had never before attained were now realized.

They hope that the next year will be the same, and that every year will follow suit.

In these joyous times, Lin Beifan declared a national holiday, from the first day of the lunar year to the fifteenth, a continuous 15-day break, with work to resume after the Lantern Festival.

During this period, wages would still be paid, a little benefit from Lin Beifan to everyone.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor forever! the people cheered.

Days swiftly passed, and finally, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On this day, the common people had already begun their holiday, celebrating the Spring Festival.

However, the imperial court had not taken a break. Instead, they held the Grand Court Gathering.

This was a tradition of the court; on the first day of the New Year, all the officials would pay their respects to Lin Beifan, and then Lin Beifan would host a banquet for the officials. The sovereign and his ministers would rejoice together, sharing the joy of the New Year.

When evening arrived, it was time for the Banquet of Ultimate Joy.

This was something Lin Beifan had specially prepared for the officials, and they were all very much looking forward to it.
