Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Li Jian felt like dying. He watched helplessly as his father, Li Gang, like a groveling old dog, followed the girl around, bowing and scraping, his face plastered with an extremely obsequious smile.

His lips were moving rapidly, as if he was desperately explaining or pleading for something.

"Pfft!" His blood rushed to his head, he felt a sweet taste in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His vision blurred and he almost fainted.

Who is she? !

Why is even the god of craftsmen walking beside her?

Wait, there's only one who can make even the gods step aside!

Could it be...?

This terrifying thought is so unbelievable, yet under the current logic, it is the only answer.

So, she is the creator goddess?

The cage that imprisoned him was descended by the Beast God.

Li Jian's pupils slowly widened.

He finally understood that she must be the creator goddess.

It turns out that the object of my provocation and hatred these past few days is the unshakable origin of this world.

And he, in the name of the creator god, swore to make her pay...

How ridiculous!

Li Jian was in a daze, his body swaying.

She could have easily killed him with a single thought, but instead, she made him eat shit...

This is hardly a vicious curse; it could even be described as divine mercy.

Both morally and logically, he should be grateful for her magnanimity and mercy in sparing his life.

But when Li Jian thought about how he went to the mountains to find animal dung that night, and the stench in his mouth these past few days... he couldn't feel grateful to her at all, and he felt so frustrated!

Just as he was lost in thought, the girl suddenly looked up and gazed in his direction.

My gaze lingered on him for a fleeting moment.

Then, she even deliberately raised her eyebrows!

His expression was smug, like that of a petty scoundrel.

"Pfft!" Li Jian was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Good heavens, how could there be such a perverse creator god!

His vision went black, and he finally fainted from anger, collapsing limply in the cage, unconscious.

……

Qin Youyou acted as if nothing had happened, ignoring Li Gang's constant flattery beside her, and calmly walked to the first contestant's furnace to examine his completed work.

"What a pity. The initial ore melting was done well, but unfortunately, I got distracted during the shaping process."

The contestant being critiqued lowered his head in shame.

Qin Youyou passed by each furnace, her gaze calmly sweeping over the objects that shimmered with spiritual light.

When she encountered a piece with exquisite craftsmanship but slightly lacking spiritual energy, she would nod slightly: "The control of the heat is acceptable, and the spiritual patterns are delicately drawn. It's a pity that you were greedy when fusing materials, and the impurities were not cleaned up, resulting in damage to the spiritual energy. It can only be considered a high-grade sacred artifact."

When she encountered a piece with excellent spirit infusion but crude technique, she gently shook her head: "It's a pity that the precious material is covered in dust. The forging process was carried out with a restless mind and uneven force, resulting in three internal cracks. Although it has reached the level of a low-grade divine artifact, it is not suitable for great use."

Her comments are concise yet always incisive and hit the nail on the head.

Each sentence either made the corresponding foundry worker realize something or feel ashamed and lower their head.

Without using any divine power to detect anything, relying solely on eyesight and perception, he was able to make accurate judgments, which even convinced the referees.

Even they benefited greatly from the Creator God's comments, and some insights even began to emerge in their hearts.

Of course, this excludes Li Gang, who was distracted and focused on pleading for his son.

Finally, Qin Youyou walked to Xiao Feiyun's forging platform.

The object, which resembled a ruler but was not quite, floated silently, exuding a warm and vast aura.

Qin Youyou stopped and stared for a moment. Unlike when she commented on others, she did not offer specific analysis of the pros and cons. Instead, her eyes revealed undisguised approval, and she nodded slightly.

Xiao Feiyun stood ramrod straight, his heart pounding with excitement.

Only she knew that the teacher's silent affirmation carried more weight than any praise.

Seeing this, almost everyone subconsciously thought that the winner of this conference was already a foregone conclusion.

Such a talented and beautiful girl will surely be taken in as a personal disciple by the Goddess of Crafts, Ji Wu, and her future is limitless!

The next moment, Qin Youyou suddenly said:

"Mu Feiyun,"

She called out Xiao Feiyun's full name clearly, "Your performance at this conference was satisfactory. From now on, you can focus on your training at the Holy Light Peak Foundry, with resources provided on par with those of the core disciples."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the next part, waiting for the announcement that she had been accepted as a disciple by the God of Craftsmen.

But Qin Youyou changed the subject: "However, you will not participate in the rankings for this conference."

"what?"

The audience erupted in uproar! Why aren't they participating in the rankings?

Such a genius deserves to win first place; it would be an injustice!

Only Xiao Feiyun herself remained calm; of course, she didn't need any other teachers.

She already has the best teacher.

Everyone was puzzled, but Ji Wu smiled and gave the answer.

"Mu Feiyun is a personal disciple of His Majesty the Creator God. If he were to become my disciple as well, the seniority would be in turmoil."

The direct disciple of the Creator God!

These seven words, like seven thunderclaps, exploded in everyone's mind!

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the girl who remained calm!

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder she was able to complete the spiritual tempering with ordinary fire.

No wonder she has such a unique temperament and remains calm in any situation.

No wonder she's already a Creation Weapon Forger at such a young age!

It turns out that her master was this supreme being!

All doubts were instantly resolved.

The players' previously crushed self-esteem has gradually recovered.

It's perfectly reasonable that this genius sister isn't participating in the rankings.

To be able to compete on the same stage as the creator god's personal disciple is already an honor in itself.

Xiao Feiyun's exit from the rankings rekindled a spark of hope in the hearts of many contestants who had thought all hope was lost.

The position of leader is now vacant!

The position of the master craftsman's personal disciple is still vacant.

They have another chance!

Some people were eager to try, their eyes burning with anticipation.

But some people looked dejected and full of regret.

Demeanor is also an important quality for a toolmaker.

Some contestants, upon seeing Xiao Feiyun display the Spirit Tempering Technique, felt their Dao Heart falter and became timid, resulting in a decline in their subsequent forging skills.

Some contestants, amidst the earth-shattering scene of the Azure Phoenix Clan appearing and the beast god's oppressive aura descending, were so distracted that they lost focus and ultimately failed.

Less than half of the contestants were able to overcome all difficulties, remain steadfast in their resolve, and persevere to the end from beginning to end.

Half of the contestants, thanks to their solid skills and unwavering determination, successfully forged treasures of superior grade or higher. Among them were even a few inferior grade divine artifacts.

Qin Youyou walked up to Li Jian's cage.

Li Gang bowed at an angle of more than ninety degrees: "God of Creation, this... is my son."
