AMRWFA -Chapter 379 Refining with Dragon Breath

After returning home, Ruan Yaoyao immediately told Xu Nannan to invite that “Mr. Monster,” Wenren Hanmo, over.

Xu Nannan froze. “Mom, you want me to call him? Are you crazy? He… he’s not a good person at all.”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I tell you to invite him, then do it. He won’t harm you.”

Xu Nannan looked aggrieved. “Different races have different hearts. How do you know he’ll never harm me? What if he does in the future?”

“You’re my daughter. Do you think I’d just stand by and let you get hurt?”

“Then why are you still making me interact with him—and even asking me to invite him home?”

“He’s your destined partner. What else am I supposed to do?”

Xu Nannan’s pupils trembled in shock.

Destined partner?!

Didn’t that mean she’d have to spend her whole life with a monster?!

No, no, no, no—absolutely not!

In the end, Xu Nannan still made the call. Her mother had also promised to make her a protective bracelet—one that would prevent Wenren Hanmo from getting close if she didn’t want him to.

After hanging up, Xu Nannan suddenly realized something.

“…Also?”

Why did her mother say also?

Turning her head, she saw Ruan Yaoyao had bought an entire basin of bodhi beads and was threading them with red string.

Xu Nannan: “…Mom, didn’t you say you were making one for me? Why so many? Are you opening a shop?”

“No. If I make more, I can give them away. One for you, one for your eldest brother, second brother, third brother… one for the fifth…”

Ruan Yaoyao declared that everyone in the family would get one.

“I thought you were making it just for me.”

“You’re not my only daughter.”

“But… I’m the only one encountering this kind of thing, right?”

“Better safe than sorry.”

…

Xu Nannan had no comeback.

This was her biological mother. Her real mother.

So why did she feel like she’d been abandoned?

Waaah… did Mom stop loving me?

Since Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t handle all the threading alone, she called Ruan Zhihe and Yu Xiangqiao to help.

While threading, Yu Xiangqiao asked, “Mom, will the ones we make even work?”

“It’s fine. I’ll consecrate them afterward.”

“Then why not just buy finished ones and consecrate those?”

Ruan Yaoyao froze.

Oh right… why am I making them myself? Why didn’t I just buy finished ones?

“So… are we still threading these?”

“Of course. We already bought them.”

So, whether she could’ve bought finished ones or not, they ended up finishing the entire basin of bodhi beads.

Once done, Ruan Yaoyao took everything back to her room to consecrate them—no spectators allowed.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to show off… it was just that the consecration process was a bit shocking. She didn’t want to reveal the existence of the little golden dragon just yet.

Yes, that’s right.

Ruan Yaoyao still hadn’t learned artifact refining—but that was fine. She had a cheat. As long as the little golden dragon breathed once, everything would be solved.

How did she realize the thing in her dantian was actually a dragon?

It started after returning from Lanshu Town.

One morning, while idly observing the little golden dragon in her dantian, she suddenly froze.

【Huh?】

【When did it grow four legs?】

【Having legs was one thing—but each leg had five claws.】

【A snake-like body, golden scales, bumps on its head, and four legs with five claws…】

【Wasn’t that exactly what a dragon looked like in legends?】

【Oh ho~
So it’s a dragon!
Hehe, I must be pretty amazing—there’s a little golden dragon living inside me.
Could it be my body is special somehow?】

Unfortunately, after staring for a long time, she couldn’t find anything particularly special about herself.

If she had to point something out, it was that her cultivation speed was fast. Before, she was only at the fasting stage—but now, besides the golden dragon in her dantian, there was also a golden bead.

If she couldn’t sense what it was, she might’ve mistaken it for a dragon pearl—especially with how the little golden dragon toyed with it under its claws.

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

【You’re really something.】

【Play with yourself if you want—but why are you playing with my golden core too?】

Soon, however, she discovered the benefits.

When the little golden dragon breathed on the golden core, it became brighter—and faint glowing patterns appeared on its surface.

Looking closely, those patterns were intricate and beautiful, like a luminous halo wrapped around it, making it look even more extraordinary.

If the previous golden core was just a plain golden bead, now it looked like an upgraded version—far more refined and powerful.

Ruan Yaoyao could also feel its strength, so she swallowed her complaints.

【Fine. Play all you want.】

At first, she hadn’t planned to summon the dragon. But while fiddling with the jade bracelet on her wrist, she accidentally dropped it. Startled, she cried out—and the little golden dragon flew out, catching the broken pieces mid-air with a breath.

With a flash of golden light, the jade bracelet transformed—now inlaid with gold.

It had been refined.

No longer just a beautiful accessory, it had become a protective magical artifact.

When she examined it, she found it was a high-grade heavenly artifact—two levels below her ghost-suppressing banner. But that banner had been refined countless times before reaching her hands, upgraded with rare materials and further enhanced after the Lanshu Town incident to reach mid-level sacred grade.

This bracelet, however, had been an ordinary jade piece.

Just one breath—and it leapt from a mundane object past earthly and heavenly grades, directly into a higher tier.

How incredible was that?

Ruan Yaoyao stared at the little golden dragon, eyes shining.

【I’m rich! I’m rich!
With this thing, I’ll never lack magical artifacts again!】

【One breath—and everything was solved.】

【Honestly, it was even better than learning artifact refining.】

So before mastering refining herself, she decided to rely on it.

【You can’t just rely on me—you need to work hard too!】

“Annoying,” it seemed to respond, before being chased back to sleep.

Looking at the basin of bodhi bead bracelets—now all high-grade heavenly artifacts—Ruan Yaoyao happily played with them for a while before storing them in her gold-inlaid jade bracelet.

After being refined, that bracelet had become a storage artifact.

Of course, it was smaller than the storage rings she had “given” to the national team—but that didn’t matter. Something she made herself was different from something she “picked up.”

If she could make one, she’d never lack them again.

At dinner, she distributed the protective bracelets—one for everyone.

Even the grandchildren got their own. She had thoughtfully made smaller versions with adjustable knots.

Gui Xiyu’s bracelet would be given next time.

When Wenren Hanmo received Xu Nannan’s call, he arrived as promised.

The moment he stepped through the door, Ruan Yaoyao saw a glowing label above his head:

“Male Lead — from Obsessive Monster is a Love-Struck Brain.”

Even in the dead of night, it shone brightly enough for her to see clearly.
