Chapter 288: The Combination of Crown and Sword

What gift would be better? Zhao Yuxi hadn't thought about this question carefully yet.

"You decide, as long as you don't spend money directly on the gift. You can buy the raw materials. Do boys prefer swords and other things? I have known you for so long that I forgot to ask you what you like. I have never given you a gift, Tingting."

I have known him for so long and married him for so long, but I have never given him a formal gift. An indescribable guilt surged into Zhao Yuxi's heart, and she became lost. She is not a person who is not good at giving gifts. She has given gifts to many people, boys, girls, colleagues, friends, etc., but she has overlooked the most important person.

"It's okay. I don't need anything." Gu Tingzhou didn't care about these things. Zhao Yuxi didn't give her a gift, and he didn't give Zhao Yuxi a gift. Speaking of which, he was the one who confessed his love at that time, but he was empty-handed when he confessed his love. Maybe, it wasn't empty-handed, because at that time, the two hugged. However, it was Zhao Yuxi who gave the hug, and he was the one who received the hug.

"You don't have to wait until you need it before giving it to someone. It's nice to give something as a little extra. Do you like swords? How about I give you a sword?" Zhao Yuxi knew that the man she was marrying was also an ordinary boy before the coming of "darkness". Would this ordinary boy like swords like other boys?

"No, my weapon is sharper than a sword. I will give Mu Zhengguang a sword." Gu Tingzhou used to like swords, and he was happy to give Mu Zhengguang a sword, but he was not willing to leave the sword at home and carry the sword when going out. It was too inconvenient and useless.

"it is good."

"What gift are you going to give Xu Yingze?" He will give Mu Zhengguang a gift, but Zhao Yuxi will definitely give Xu Yingze a gift. He has already thought of a plan, but has Zhao Yuxi thought of one?
"Let me think about it. If I asked you to give me a gift, what would you like to give me?"

Gu Tingzhu was shocked: What gift should I give you? I have everything, and neither do you. It would be best if I could give you something you like, so that it would be meaningful.

"Sister Zhao Yuxi, what kind of gift do you like?"

"Ah, in the end I have to answer the question. There are so many things I like. When you have time, make me a crown. When you have made the sword, show it to me and I will make the crown. I will determine the color of the crown based on the color of the sword you make."

Since the day she became the spokesperson of the King of Dongting Lake, Zhao Yuxi wanted to have a crown, a crown that gathered all the treasures in the world. However, to this day, she has not started to make the crown. She has not found the opportunity or occasion to wear the crown. There are people in the institute who are more powerful than her, and there are more dangerous people outside the institute. With these people watching her, she will only add to her troubles if she wears the crown on her head.

Crown? Does she like crowns? I've never seen her wearing a crown. Didn't she find a crown that satisfied her? Or is she waiting for me?
"Okay. I'll go buy the materials tomorrow, no, tonight, and I'll use my ruler to carve a crown for you."

Zhao Yuxi gently dissuaded him: "Don't be so anxious, I don't need the crown right away. I want to wear the crown after my wish comes true. You should first consider what kind of sword to give to Mu Zhengguang. Because I will make a crown for Xu Yingze soon."

"Is it appropriate for Xu Yingze to wear the crown?"

Gu Tingzhou had his concerns: a boy holding a sword and a girl wearing a crown had very different meanings. Xu Ying was neither a princess nor a king. Would the guests have other ideas when she wore a crown at a banquet celebrating her upcoming arrival at the third level?

"The crown is just an ornament on her head. Wearing a crown does not mean being crowned as a king. However, it is different when an ancient wears a crown. Before I have the ability to fight against those with ill intentions, I will not put myself in danger and let the enemy find an opportunity to attack me and us."

"Sister Zhao Yuxi, what will the guests think when they see her wearing the crown?"

"Those guests are definitely far from the third level. They admire Xu Yingze, and they think that Xu Yingze deserves a crown. Don't worry, I won't make her a crown that is too exaggerated. There are many types of accessories for girls, and a crown is one of them." "I understand." She emphasized the accessories again, and Gu Tingzhou changed his view of the crown, and his worries disappeared.

"Crown and sword, princess and knight, doesn't it sound like a fairy tale? Do you think they will like this fairy tale?"

Gu Tingzhou didn't even think about it and immediately answered, "Yes."

Zhao Yuxi looked at his serious expression and smiled, "I don't know whether they like it or not, but you must like it. At our wedding, I will also let you be the one walking into the story. Our story is also very enviable."

Gu Tingzhu was filled with joy, and he looked forward to that day even more.

"When are we getting married?"

Zhao Yuxi already had the answer to this question: "Wait until we all reach the fourth level. On that day, I will put on my wedding dress and crown, and loudly announce in front of our enemies, our colleagues, our family, and our friends that we have become a family. By then, they will all cheer for us and bless us."

All to the fourth level? Gu Tingzhu calculated the time it took for him to level up. After his wish came true, his first-order asymptotic rate dropped from 163 days to 153 days, and the corresponding second-order and third-order asymptotic rates changed. Before the enhancement, he could only enter the fourth level in December. After the enhancement, this time was brought forward to November. But Zhao Yuxi didn't get the enhancement, so she should be able to enter the fourth level later than me, right?

In fact, whether Zhao Yuxi is strengthened or not, the time difference is only two months at most. He has already survived the first ten years of his life without a future. The future he can see is only a few months away from him, so he just needs to wait a little longer.

"Hmm. What kind of wedding dress and crown would you like?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. If you can quickly finish the sword for Mu Zhengguang, I can determine the shape and color of the crown for Xu Yingze based on the color and shape of the sword. Once her crown is finished, we will have some experience in making crowns. So, you are shouldering an important responsibility now."

"I want to go to the Academy of Sciences to find materials. Can you come with me?" Gu Tingzhou simply sketched the shape of the sword in his mind. It was a slender sword that glowed, was very thin, very sharp, and would not rust or even become dull.

Common materials don't have such an effect, but there are similar materials in the Academy of Sciences and in the laboratory he is in charge of. Although the color doesn't quite match what he wants, and whether it can be processed into the shape he wants is also unknown, but it's always a good idea to get the material first.

"Okay, I just wanted to go to the Academy of Sciences to see Jiang Mengxi. I left in a hurry last time, and she was in charge of your enemies. This time, I'll take those people out. How do you plan to deal with them?"

“Find someone who can erase their memories, and erase all their memories of this period of time and all their memories of me. Then, let them go. They have lost their memories and no longer regard me as an enemy, so there is no need for me to regard them as enemies anymore.”

"Okay, your idea is very good. You are more generous and kind than me."
