Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 52 New Hidden Weapon: Explosive Flame Machine Gun!

"Yes."

Gu Jiancheng nodded.

Today, he's going to have a go at this irritable little tyrant.

"Boss, that's him!"

"That kid's too arrogant. Today, our boss is going to avenge us!"

Ouyang Tao was being pushed in while lying on the carriage.

"Shut up, you bunch of useless trash!"

Shangguan Linglong glared at them, then looked at Gu Jiancheng.

"In that case, I, on behalf of the Exploding Sky Gang, will cripple you!"

As the little girl's voice fell, her delicate hand suddenly rose, and a flag in her hand fluttered in the wind.

The next moment, array runes suddenly condensed and manifested in the void above Gu Jiancheng's head.

The oppressive aura descended, reaching the Dao Palace realm!

In terms of array formation and control, Shangguan Linglong has already reached such a level at such a young age, truly deserving of being the apple of the Shangguan family's eye.

Among his peers, those who could rival him were truly few and far between.

Unfortunately, this little girl encountered Gu Jiancheng.

He shielded the fat man behind him, then raised his hand to the sky. In the void, magic arrays and runes suddenly condensed, forming a barrier that enveloped the two of them in an instant.

hum!

boom!

The next moment, the runes controlled by Shangguan Linglong transformed into a sharp sword and slashed down.

To the astonishment of Shangguan Linglong and the group of纨绔 (playboys) from the Exploding Heaven Gang, this sharp sword was actually blocked by the magic array barrier created by Gu Jiancheng.

Moreover, they were unable to break through the formation and collapsed after only three breaths.

"Ok?"

This surprised Shangguan Linglong quite a bit. She even looked around to make sure there were any array artifacts that Gu Jiancheng had set up in advance.

But naturally, she gained nothing.

Not yet?

Gu Jiancheng laughed from inside the barrier.

This is undoubtedly a provocation.

Shangguan Linglong's face tightened, and then the chess pieces in her hand began to move again, while the magic array runes above her head continuously transformed into Dao Palace Realm sword energy that slashed down.

Bang bang bang!

However, simply increasing the number of sword energies was obviously useless to Gu Jiancheng, as these sword energies kept falling and collapsing.

Finally, Gu Jiancheng lost his patience, strode forward, and approached Shangguan Linglong.

"Ok?"

Shangguan Linglong frowned. She had never seen such a powerful opponent in the Dao of Arrays. All she could do was desperately wave the array flag in her hand and gather the sword energy of the Dao Palace.

In just a few breaths, Gu Jiancheng faced the array of swords and stood before Shangguan Linglong.

At this moment, Shangguan Linglong had almost exhausted her divine sense by focusing all her efforts on condensing the array, her face turned pale, and she was finally unable to condense any more runes.

"No, that's impossible!"

Shangguan Linglong's face already showed signs of panic.

She then suddenly pulled out a crossbow from her storage ring. The magic array on it suddenly generated energy and fired three purplish-black arrows straight at Gu Jiancheng's face.

hum!

But just as the arrow reached Gu Jiancheng, it was suddenly frozen in mid-air.

Then, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and pressed Shangguan Linglong and her mount to the ground, while also taking the crossbow bolts from her hand.

"Heh, mechanical arts and weapon crafting, quite interesting. Did you make these?"

Gu Jiancheng played with it for a while, then raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I did it, so what do you want?"

"let me go!"

Shangguan Linglong's pretty face flushed red with anger, but she continued to struggle.

"Nothing much, I just think your stuff is pretty badly made."

Gu Jiancheng curled his lip and then threw the hidden weapon directly in front of Shangguan Linglong.

"What did you say?"

"My exquisite crossbow is broken?!"

Shangguan Linglong seemed to have been provoked, baring her teeth and claws as she tried to get up.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

“Our boss is the jewel of the Shangguan family, the only true inheritor of mechanical arts. Do you dare say our boss’s hidden weapons are bad?”

Ouyang Tao roared angrily from the carriage, seemingly quite dissatisfied.

"Heh, if I say it's bad, then it's bad."

"Do you believe I can forge a hidden weapon that is more than three times more powerful, has a faster firing rate, longer range, and more arrows?"

Gu Jiancheng leaned down in front of Shangguan Linglong and smiled.

"Three times more powerful?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

“Even my father isn’t that capable!” Shangguan Linglong naturally didn’t believe it.

"How about we take a gamble?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

"bet?"

Upon hearing this word, Shangguan Linglong seemed unable to suppress the surge of emotion within her, and her eyes instantly sparkled.

However, she suddenly said, "What level do you think you are to gamble with me?"

"let me go!"

"Hehe, Miss Linglong has no choice. This alley has been sealed off by us, and the patrolling cultivators in the city know you're here. They won't come over, will they?"

But Gu Jiancheng was fearless.

"Furthermore, if I were to dispel all the magic arrays now and expose your appearance, would you, the Little Tyrant of the Exploding Heaven Gang, still want to stay in Dongling?"

As Gu Jiancheng continued to speak, Shangguan Linglong's face gradually turned from flushed to pale.

They stopped making a fuss.

She's a notorious little tyrant; if anyone saw her in such a disheveled state, she'd rather be dead.

"So, Miss Linglong has no choice now!"

Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but smirk.

A mischievous girl like Shangguan Linglong is actually the easiest to control.

"Then let's bet! Who's afraid of who?!"

Sure enough, Shangguan Linglong muttered something, her previous anger gone.

Gu Jiancheng then removed the magic array restrictions from her body.

The spoiled brats behind her wanted to rush over, but Shangguan Linglong stopped them with a raised hand.

"I keep my word. Since you said you wanted to gamble, I won't touch you."

"But how do you want to gamble?"

“Simple. We can find a place right now, and I’ll forge a hidden weapon with three times the power, and everything else will be stronger than your exquisite crossbow!” Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, but what if you can't refine it?" Shangguan Linglong said with a sneer, arms crossed.

"If I can't refine it, Miss Linglong can do whatever she wants with me!" Gu Jiancheng spread his hands.

"Well, you're a straightforward person!"

Shangguan Linglong, hands on her slender waist, said arrogantly, "If you succeed in refining it, the Exploding Heaven Gang will be yours, and I'll call you Big Brother!"

what?

Gu Jiancheng: "???"

The spoiled brat from the Exploding Heaven Gang: "???"

No, isn't this bet a bit too high?

They staked the entire Zhantian Gang on it?

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Gu Jiancheng shrugged.

He couldn't have been happier with this bet.

His approach to Shangguan Linglong was merely to achieve his business goals through her.

Now that this little girl wants to acknowledge him as her older brother, that's perfect.

In short, he's determined to have this little girl by his side today.

"It's a deal. Come on, I'll take you to my Exploding Sky Gang's secret base!"

After saying that, Shangguan Linglong mounted her horse and headed straight for the west of the city with Gu Jiancheng.

However, Gu Jiancheng was stunned when he got off his mount.

Shangguan Linglong actually led him to a pavilion called Yixiangyuan.

At this moment, the nine-story building was resplendent in gold and jade, and the sounds of beautiful women filled the air with decadent music.

Good heavens, just as the legends say, this little tyrant brought a brothel to me?!

The guests outside the brothel were terrified when they saw Shangguan Linglong and fled in panic!

"Hehe, don't be surprised, the stronghold is inside!"

Seeing Gu Jiancheng's surprised expression, Shangguan Linglong felt quite pleased.

She then took Gu Jiancheng into the brothel.

This brothel was extremely large. The first floor was a casino, and the upper floors were the places of pleasure. Gu Jiancheng followed Shangguan Linglong straight to the top floor and, sure enough, discovered a secret room hidden there.

After breaking through the magic array and entering, Gu Jiancheng discovered that it was actually a small weapon-refining workshop.

It contains all kinds of props and materials, as well as many unfinished exquisite crossbows.

It's clear that, regardless of his reputation, this little tyrant is genuinely working on hidden weapons.

"Alright, this is it. I'll only provide you with materials for the first grade of the Linglong Crossbow. Start forging now!" Shangguan Linglong put her hands on her slender waist, seemingly in a hurry.

"Sure, but could I borrow a low-grade talisman paper?" Gu Jiancheng asked again.

"Talisman paper?"

"What do you need that for? You can't use it for weapon crafting!" Shangguan Linglong asked, puzzled.

"It's a secret!" Gu Jiancheng smiled mysteriously.

"Hey, I'm curious now!"

"I have plenty of talismans."

Shangguan Linglong became increasingly interested, and then directly took out a stack of Earth-grade talismans and slapped them onto the refining platform.

Gu Jiancheng's eyes narrowed.

Just as Shen Ruyue said, the Shangguan family really did monopolize the talisman paper.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng spent 2000 favor points to upgrade the Complete Guide to Weapon Forging to the intermediate level, and then purchased a copy of the Xuanji Mechanism Technique. After that, he raised his hand and threw all the weapon forging materials into the cauldron, and the Nine Thunder Heavenly Heart Fire rose up and poured into it.

"Nine Thunderfire?" Shangguan Linglong raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "The flames aren't bad!"

Even in the Eastern Tombs, this kind of flame is indeed top-tier.

"Boss, Young Master Liufeng is going to perform his zither skills. Are you still going to watch?"

After a cup of tea, a playboy from the Exploding Heaven Gang ran in from outside the secret room.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot about that!"

Shangguan Linglong was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Gu Jiancheng with a hint of anxiety and said, "Um, your hidden weapon will take a while to develop, right? I'll leave for a bit, but you can't cheat!"

"Hehe, Miss Linglong, why are you in such a hurry? My hidden weapon will be finished soon."

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow. At this crucial moment, there was no room for error.

"Hey, hurry up!"

Shangguan Linglong hesitated for a few breaths before speaking.

"All right."

Gu Jiancheng nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and opened the cauldron, revealing a fully automatic rifle-shaped concealed weapon that was entirely crimson and resembled a blue star.

"What kind of hidden weapon is this?"

In an instant, Shangguan Linglong was captivated by the strange hidden weapon that Gu Jiancheng had crafted.

"Hehe, this hidden weapon is called - Explosive Flame Machine Gun!"

Gu Jiancheng smiled.
