Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 47.2

Editor: Aaghna

Li Xiao stared at the scraps in front of her foolishly. She felt as though her heart was bleeding. 

Failure… 

She had failed to refine her weapon once again. She had already lost three ingredients.

The usually quarrelsome sparrow spirit was also unusually quiet. She was silent, in fear of pissing Li Xiao off and being thrown into a boiling pot.

Li Xiao hadn’t expected refining magic tools to be so difficult. In the book, it had described refining tools as a very simple process. She had wanted to refine the snakeskin into a defensive robe, but she failed every time. However, she didn’t understand why she had failed. She had clearly followed every step!

This wasn’t good. If she failed again, she’d run out of materials!

Li Xiao remembered Cang Ming’s offer and decided to bring her last set of ingredients to him, so he could help her refine them. If she worked on her own, there was a high chance she would fail again. If she gave it to Cang Ming, there would be some hope.

When Li Xiao took the materials to Cang Ming, he was kind of enough to agree to help her.

“Well, consider this as payment for the clues you provided earlier.”

Li Xiao thought for a moment before remembering she had told Cang Ming some clues about Zeng Lixing. Hm, to her surprise, this demon had surprisingly good morals

In order to reassure Cang Ming, Li Xiao said, “Since you’re only slightly familiar with refining, I’ll forgive you if you mess something up.” Li Xiao was a reasonable person, and the worst thing that could happen to her was being afflicted with a broken heart.

“Okay.”

Cang Ming’s face was calm, and he carried Li Xiao’s materials into his house.

In less than 10 minutes, he came out, holding a robe as silky as water, impervious to sword or spear and water or fire.

Li Xiao was astonished. He had succeeded?!

The refinement had turned out a lot better than she thought it would. It was so well-done that she couldn’t notice a single flaw.

“And you said you only know a little bit about it?” How could someone produce this with just ‘a little’ knowledge?

Cang Ming’s subordinate, Lu Hai, said, “Boss’s skills are genuinely mediocre, but he’s lucky! Very lucky! So it works out every time.”

“Oh, what the hell?!”

How was he so lucky?

 ……

Li Xiao resisted the urge to beat up the lucky bastard. After all, she might need more tools later. Her current weapon, a crude coffin plate with inlaid scales, was usable but crude. Next time, she could provide more clues and ask Cang Ming to help her refine it again.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Your real body is actually a koi, right?”

Unlike the fake, blood-sucking koi, Li Qianfei, Li Xiao was sure that Cang Ming was a real koi.

“Ah…” Cang Ming sighed.

Li Xiao assumed he was. It was the first time she had seen a real koi in her life. She finally had bragging rights!

Li Xiao stepped forward and held Cang Ming’s hands in hers. “Thank you so much!”

Cang Ming’s hand was slightly cold, just like sheep-fat white jade. If it was hot weather, his hand would be comfortable to the touch. However, Li Xiao’s behavior could be easily misinterpreted as sexual harassment, so she quickly let go after shaking his hand.

Cang Ming, surprised by her behavior, flinched, and his ears turned red.

Li Xiao gave him a few more of her talismans. “As thanks.”

Then, she quickly took the beautiful robe and walked away.

With her new robe, Li Xiao was more confident about visiting Yun Miao Mountain.

As she was packing her belongings and preparing to leave, Zhang Yan reported something to her.

“Lin Zhaoxi is over one-month pregnant.”

Li Xiao remembered who that girl was. Wasn’t she the studious girl Li Nanjue had met in the hotel around two months ago? Li Xiao hadn’t expected Li Nanjue to impregnate her.

“Is she planning to keep the baby? Shejuust started college, right?”

Zhang Yan nodded. “She went to the hospital for a checkup. It looks like she’s keeping it.”

The corner of Li Xiao’s mouth curled upward. Lin Zhaoxi was another Zhan Jiayin. No normal girl would keep the child in this circumstance. They would either abort it or have taken birth control pills.

In the end, they were all after money!

She was only willing to keep the child because her one-night-stand had been with someone as rich and respectable as Li Nanjue.

“Li Qianfei even rented a house for her to nurse the baby.”

Li Xiao nearly choked on her spit when she heard this.

“Wait, Li Qianfei? Do the two of them know each other?” After not paying attention to Lin Zhaoxi for a few months, it seemed like she had missed a lot of information. 

“They’re from the same college. They have a decent relationship.” Zhang Yan felt strange about the whole predicament. “It’s probably because Lin Zhaoxi is the only person willing to be friends with Li Qianfei now. That’s why she’s so loyal to Lin Zhaoxi.”

Li Xiao hummed. Li Qianfei must not know that the child in Lin Zhaoxi’s belly was her future sibling. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so kind to her. Things were getting interesting.

“Li Qianfei is becoming more and more like a big sister. I’m happy for her,” Li Xiao said.

Li Xiao wondered if Li Qianfei would invite Lin Zhaoxi to her coming-of-age banquet. After all, the two of them were now good friends. Li Xiao, who originally hadn’t planned to go, changed her mind.

Hmm, she had to go to Yun Miao Mountain early to settle things with Zeng Lunian, so she wouldn’t miss out on a good show.
