Chapitre 164: Chapter 164: Completion of the Work

In July, Wufu entered the final stages of carving the Chicken Blood Stone. In order to complete the final polishing in one go, she needed to stay and work in seclusion at the Hundred Treasures Silver Building.

Madam Zhou did not approve, thinking it improper for a young girl to stay outside, and that it would look bad if others found out. If any trouble were to arise, it would be even worse.

But Wufu insisted, and seeing her little face that had thinned and darkened from daily toil, Madam Zhou reluctantly agreed.

Wufu turned down Hongyu's offer to accompany her, arguing that Madam Zhou needed Hongyu's company more, and besides, the Hundred Treasures Silver Building was well-known in town, unlikely to give rise to any serious trouble.

Taking only a set of clothes, Wufu plunged into her temporary craftsmen room at the Hundred Treasures Silver Building, polishing the stone day and night.
