Chapter 401 - Emotional Liu Li (2)

After they left the Yu Heng Palace, headed towards home, Gong Yi Mo became somewhat excited. This time for sure, Jin Yun definitely brought back good news!

"Quick, let me see!"

Gong Yi Mo couldn't wait anymore after they sat on the carriage. Jin Yun sighed, but simply took out a few bricks for her to see. He wasn't sure why Yi Mo spent so much to get the fire bricks*. Since the heat couldn't reach the temperature Yi Mo demanded, the bricks that were created cost more than gold! Tn*: Fire bricks are used in furnaces, kilns, and fireplaces to withstand higher temperatures, in case anyone didn't knowUpdated from novelbIn.(c)om

Just for a few bricks, Gong Yi Mo had built a tunnel kiln. Due to what a large engineering project it was, quite a lot of money had to be expended on human labor.

Gong Yi Mong clutched the bricks happily, excitedly stating, "You complaining about it being expensive now. But in the future, I'll make it burn out gold for you to see!"

Jin Yun gave her a pat. "If you wanted to burn gold, then you should've dug in gold mines...but, you went digging around a coal mine instead. How is this burning gold?"

The ancient way of creating glass was tedious, requiring around ten different tools that only emperors were allowed to use! But Gong Yi Mo knew that using her method of flaming to create Liu Liwould greatly reduce the price of it, this was the theory of mass production! But they weren't lacking money for now, so she put the matter aside, leaving Jin Yun to remain confused about the fire bricks.

Someone like him with no knowledge in techniques required a large amount of effort to figure out how to create this. Who knew that he had the heart to actually figure out how to create Liu Li and then immediately craft it to present it as a gift? It made her...actually feel somewhat touched.

Jin Yun had always been a careful and considerate man.

"Want me to put it on for you?"

As the words left his mouth, Jin Yun barely had time to start panicking, worried of Gong Yi Mo's potential rejection.

But this necklace had been hard to create. He had worked day and night, sleeping only four hours every day to not only ensure the creation of the firebricks, but improved upon past techniques, and successfully created Liu Li.

In addition to that...he wasn't sure if she'd like the gift.

The second gift had taken Gong Yi Mo by surprise. Without another word, she immediately turned around to let Jin Yun put the necklace on her. She brushed aside her black hair, relieving the delicate white skin on her neck.

Jin Yun stared at the small part of soft skin, almost seemingly glowing, finding a knot in his throat. Suppressing the contemplation deep within his heart, he took the necklace and placed it on her...
