Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1912: Chapter 176: Shouzhe! You’re Too Heartless_2

After King of Zhennan left, filled with tension, excitement, and a bit of eagerness, Wang Luomiao stepped out of the study, a little worried, “Brother, isn’t this a bit cruel? Even though I can’t quite accept Yun Xiayang, you don’t have to send him to the demons beyond the domain as an undercover agent, do you?”

Everyone knows that being an undercover agent is like tying your life to your belt, ready to die at any moment.

“Well, shall I cancel the ‘Thunder Blast Plan’ then?” Wang Shouzhe said with a half-smile.

“Uh…” Wang Luomiao felt a headache at the thought of Yun Xiayang’s incessant pestering lately, “Forget it~ I think it’s better to send him to try and achieve something. If he can really accomplish something earth-shattering, I might actually look at him differently.”

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly shone, noticing a small booklet tucked among Wang Shouzhe’s stack of books.

“Oh? Brother, you actually have the third book of ‘The Daily Life of the Overbearing Princess’?” She joyfully dug the small book out from the pile and hugged it to her chest, “The third book just came out, and I couldn’t get the latest one. Let me borrow yours first, and I’ll return it to you later.”

With that, she ran off happily with the book.

“This girl!”

Wang Shouzhe looked helpless.

In earlier years, this girl was quite steady, but ever since she became obsessed with these story novels, her personality gradually became more flighty.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

This girl originally had a free-spirited, unruly nature that was daring enough to bicker with him at the age of seven or eight. Seeing her burden herself to relieve his stress, striving in cultivation and studies, he felt uneasy inside.

Now, at least she lives comfortably.

Only…

Thinking of his mother’s request to find a good husband for Luomei, Wang Shouzhe felt a headache.

It’s truly a daunting task.

He might as well see Yun Xiayang’s performance in the [Thunder Blast Plan] first. If he truly proves capable, letting Luomei marry into the Immortal Dynasty as a ready-made princess might not be impossible.

At the very least, this Prince of Zhennan has decent strength and bloodline, and his appearance is not bad either. With some grooming, he could be a “mature” handsome man, though his personality seems a bit…

Forget it; it’s better to let Luomei decide when the time comes.

…

Red Moon Demon Dynasty.

Second Prince’s mansion.

In the lavishly decorated study, the rune chandelier quietly shone with bright light. However, the atmosphere in the study was anything but bright at the moment.

In the center of the study, Second Prince Shentu Kaixuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely sullen.

Opposite him, his servant Huyan Tinghe stood with a face full of shame, his head lowered and cold sweat running down his back.

Behind him, there was also a stout, middle-aged man with a scruffy beard.

This middle-aged man seemed very ordinary at first glance, but his aura was thick and introverted, making it impossible to underestimate him. He was one of the few Alchemy Grandmasters of the Red Moon Demon Dynasty, the [Mystic Demon Lord], currently serving in the Armament Department of the Demon Forces.

There were only three people in the study, but an undercurrent surged, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

“Tinghe, how did you promise the prince?” Shentu Kaixuan stared at Huyan Tinghe, his tone severe, “How is it that it’s taking so long to crack and imitate these two pieces of Immortal Dynasty armor?”

“What do you know?”

Unexpectedly, before Huyan Tinghe could speak, the [Mystic Demon Lord] exploded in anger.

His beard bristled as he angrily rebuked, “Don’t you dare boast on the strength of your prince’s title and speak nonsense. Do you know anything about these armor suits? Calling it ‘mere’? You know nothing!”

“The armor from the Immortal Dynasty may look like Spirit Platform Realm-level armor, but its internal design is extremely complex and exquisite, featuring not only supporting inner skeletal structures but also auxiliary power systems. All components are modularly designed. Each module internally contains intricate runic formation components, each with independent encryption processing. It’s incredibly difficult to crack and imitate.”

Having a bad temper is perhaps a common ailment among technical experts.

Being one of the few Alchemy Grandmasters of the Demon Dynasty, his status was almost equivalent to the Hundred Refinements True Monarch of the Immortal Dynasty. Naturally, he was also absorbed in researching technology and couldn’t bear hearing such demeaning remarks on technology.

In his view, the design of this new type of armor was simply marvelous.

What about the prince?

If displeased, he would retort the same, knowing full well that pride and dignity were not to be compromised.

“Mystic Senior, please calm your anger,” the Second Prince hurriedly waved away his darkened expression, cupping his hands in apology, “This junior is reprimanding Tinghe, not targeting you. Mainly because the deadline given by the Demon Emperor is too short, doubling my pressure and leaving me disoriented. Mystic Senior, you are our dynasty’s top artifact refiner, is there really no way to imitate it?”

The Mystic Demon Lord, calmed down upon being mollified, relaxed his expression and explained, “We analyzed the material composition and found that it primarily uses a composite material made of three main components: Xuan Iron, Spirit Plant, and leather, along with at least ten other auxiliary materials fused. I tried to imitate this composite material and found that no matter how it was merged, there were significant issues, with performance falling far short. Of course, this is a technical problem; given time, I am confident I can solve it.”

“The most pressing issues are cost and manpower. Even if we spend a lot of time overcoming all the hurdles, not many artifact refiners can independently complete such a set of armor, and the overall cost would be nearly ten thousand Immortal Crystals.”
