Chu Han, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, was covered in white frost, with tiny ice crystals hanging on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

White mist-like cold air drifted out, and ice crystals gradually spread throughout the body, but the person seemed unaware of the cold and remained as steady as a rock.

It was unknown how long it took, until the frost dissipated and the cold air subsided, and Chu Han's supernatural power broke through to the third level.

Walking out of the room, Chu Han couldn't wait to try out his supernatural powers in the yard, and saw ice crystals condensing in the air instantly.

The snowflake-shaped ice crystals are as thin as cicada wings, and they have a faint ice-blue hue under the reflection of the sunlight.

Chu Han looked at the big tree in the yard, his expression stern, and all the ice crystals attacked the tree like a hot knife through butter.

In the blink of an eye, the once lush tree was reduced to only a main trunk, with leaves fluttering in the wind and a pile of smoothly cut tree trunks lying around the trunk.

The moment Chu Han withdrew his supernatural powers, those ice crystals turned into water and seeped into the ground.

At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open. As soon as Shen Yanqing entered, he saw broken branches and fallen leaves all over the ground. The bare tree trunks standing there looked a little funny.

Seeing Shen Yanqing stopped where he was and looking at the messy yard he had made, Chu Han felt a little embarrassed for a moment and could only cough dryly, "I'm back."

Shen Yanqing came back to his senses after hearing the voice, nodded slightly as a response, and then walked in.

Supernatural power overflowed from his fingertips, and the fallen branches and leaves were all piled together under the wind.

A small flame popped up casually, and the pile of branches and leaves burned up instantly. The ashes were also carried by the wind into the vegetable garden in the backyard to be used as fertilizer.

In the blink of an eye, the yard was as clean as before. The two people sitting on the stone bench drank tea and stared at each other. Neither of them was a talkative person, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"Congratulations."

It was Shen Yanqing who spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere.

Chu Han knew that he was referring to the upgrade of his superpowers. He raised the corners of his lips in an almost invisible arc and said thank you.

And then nothing happened. The two of them fell into silence again, each drinking tea.

After a while, a sound from outside the yard broke the silent atmosphere. The two put down the teacups in their hands and looked towards the gate.

"I'll go get some herbs from Doctor Xu later. Shall we have yellow eel medicinal soup today?"

Shen Wenxuan was carrying a yellow eel nearly six feet long and as thick as his wrist on his shoulder, and they were discussing with Wen Yu how to eat it as they walked.

"good."

Wen Yu was carrying a large basket, her steps were still light, her figure was as graceful as jade, and she responded with a gentle smile.

When Chu Han saw Wen Yu coming back, he immediately stood up and took the basket from his hand, pulled him back to the table, and attentively poured him a cup of tea. Then he sat aside and admired his sweetheart, whose temperament was as elegant and refined as an orchid.

Wen Yu drank the tea in the cup slowly, looked at Chu Han with gentle eyes, and raised his hand to remove a fallen leaf from his hair.

"Today we have your favorite knife fish. How would you like to eat it?"

Chu Han held his hand and kissed it, then whispered in his ear, "Brother Han loves anything Xiaoyu makes."

The low and hoarse voice accompanied by a hint of warm breath hit Wen Yu's earlobe, and his ear suddenly turned red and almost bled.

Chu Han's blood boiled when he saw his shy look, and he restrained himself and gently kissed his red earlobe.

Wen Yu glared at the man who was becoming more and more shameless with a reproachful look.

"I've told you so many times, I'm older than you, you should call me Brother Yu."

Chu Han followed him with eyes full of doting, "Okay~Brother Yu." It was just a name, so he just followed his lead.

Although Chu Han is only twenty-one this year, two years younger than Wen Yu, he does not look like a younger brother. Perhaps it is because he led troops in battle, he looks more mature than the tender Wen Yu.

Even so, Wen Yu felt so relieved when he heard Chu Han call him Brother Yu, and he kissed Chu Han on the lips as a reward.

When the two started flirting, Shen Yanqing and Shen Wenxuan tactfully carried their things to the kitchen.

"Yan Qing, please take care of this eel."

Chen Yanqing nodded and activated his supernatural power. The whole eel was swept into the air by the wind. A wind blade ripped it open and then turned into countless wind blades that quickly cut the eel into pieces.

The moment Shen Yanqing withdrew his supernatural power, a stream of water rushed towards the cut eel, wrapping it up and continuously washing it.

After a while, the water column dissipated and pieces of eel meat fell into the basin.

The things in the basket are quite mixed, including knife fish, silver fish, shrimps, crabs, snails...

The two of them stopped using their special powers and began to process the ingredients honestly.

The two people who were flirting in the yard also came to help, and the four of them quickly cleaned up the mess together.

The darkness gradually pushed away the little remaining light, and lanterns lit up in the yard.

People were busy around the grills, and a medicinal eel soup was bubbling in a big pot nearby.

As Doctor Xu added various herbs into the pot, the fishy smell of the eel was neutralized by the herbs, and the aroma of the meat mixed with the fragrance of the herbs made people salivate at the first smell.

Shen Wenxuan was so tired that he didn't want to move. He lay in the rocking chair under the tree, closed his eyes and recalled the day's training, so that he could improve it the next day.

The village head and his wife felt sorry for their sons, as they must have been exhausted from all the hard training during this period. They baked their favorite foods and asked the eldest son to deliver them to the youngest son after they were done.

"Ah - my youngest son is so good, he has someone to love him. I've been practicing all day and no one has brought me food. My life is so miserable..."

Shen Wenlai was feeling jealous and was busy muttering to himself.

The village chief knew that this bastard could not say a single nice word, so he picked up the freshly roasted meat and wanted to stuff it into his mouth. But then he thought better of it. He stuffed the meat into his hand and slapped him on the head. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

Wu Yueying ignored the quarrel between the father and son and concentrated on putting on her necklace. The smile between her eyebrows showed her good mood.

Everyone was stunned when Shen Wenlai held the barbecue.

Shen Wenxiang looked at his brother's silly look and couldn't help laughing: "You, how old are you and still jealous?"

Shen Wenlai bit the barbecue in his hand and said, "I was just talking..."

Shen Wenxiang smiled helplessly. His two younger brothers had been vying for favor since they were young. He handed Shen Wenlai a few skewers of his favorite food, and then went to find Shen Wenxuan with the skewers.

The roasting was almost done, and the men gathered together to drink and play drinking games, laughing and talking non-stop. Among them, Shen Kui had the loudest voice.

Wu Yueying, Wanniang, and Shen Kui's wife were alone at the side, drinking medicinal soup and chatting, occasionally turning the food on the grill...

At the end, everyone else was fine, but Xu Wenliang, Shen Youbao and Shen Wenxuan were completely drunk.

Xu Wenliang and Shen Youbao didn't make a fuss even though they were drunk, and were taken back quietly.

However, Shen Wenxuan was drunk and crazy in the yard, jumping up and down more than a pig during the Chinese New Year. Shen Wenxiang and Shen Wenlai had to work hard to drag him back.
