"Okay." Xiao Lingfeng completely listened to Jian Ning.

Jian Ning then took Huang Fugui back to her immortal abode. She also used an invisibility talisman on herself and simply flew back on her sword with Xiao Lingfeng.

This was his first time flying on a sword, and it was quite novel for him.

"Master, can I learn this too?" Xiao Lingfeng whispered in Jian Ning's ear, his hand gripping the fabric around her waist.

The warm breath brushed against Jian Ning's ear, and her legs went weak, her mind went blank, and she almost fell off the sword.

Thankfully, Xiao Lingfeng was alert and caught her around the waist, preventing her from falling.

"Ahem, okay." Jian Ning coughed twice to cover up her discomfort and quickly agreed.

Fearing she might fall again, Xiao Lingfeng didn't pull his arm back, feeling the heat from the firm muscles around her waist. Jian Ning felt her face must be bright red by now.

Although she liked handsome men, she only drooled over them from afar and fantasized about them, but she never took any real action.

This is the first time, from my past life to now, that I've been held in the arms of a mature man.

This position is so intimate, but I really like it, what should I do?

She flew back to Jinmao Mansion, wobbling all the way, and went straight through the wall to the sixteenth floor. The invisibility talisman's effect hadn't worn off yet. As soon as the sword landed, Jian Ning quickly jumped down.

"Go home, I'll contact you tonight." He used a wall-penetrating technique to enter the house, forgetting to collect the sword on the ground.

Xiao Lingfeng paused for a moment, as if he understood something.

He couldn't hide the smile on his face. He bent down, picked up the sword from the ground, put it into his space, and then tore off the invisibility talisman.

He went back to his own home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Granny Wang pacing back and forth on the floor.

"Mom, aren't you hot? Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

"Son, where have you been? You haven't come back all night. You didn't even say a word." Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Lingfeng return.

"I have something to do and I have to go out tonight. Mom, you don't need to save electricity. The sun is shining so brightly outside, the electricity generated is more than enough."

"I know, the air conditioning is on in the bedroom. I just came out a little while ago. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

"Okay, keep it simple." I ate breakfast, and the energy from working all morning is almost gone.

Xiao Lingfeng went back inside to change his clothes, then came out to wash his hands. A little while later, Aunt Wang came out with a large bowl of noodles with gravy.

“Tian Tian and I have already eaten. You’ve eaten all of this. If it’s not enough, Mom will make you more.”

"That's enough, it's almost the size of a small basin. I'm lucky if I can eat all of this."

Looking at the various fresh red and green side dishes on the noodles, Xiao Lingfeng felt even hungrier and started eating heartily. In less than two minutes, a whole bowl of noodles was gone.

"You don't even know how to eat slowly. From now on, you need to eat at regular times. Don't get so busy that you forget everything else. If you're not feeling well in the future, you'll have to bear it all by yourself."

Seeing Xiao Lingfeng wolfing down his food, Aunt Wang felt very sorry for him.

"Mom, I know, it's not that your cooking is too delicious, I just ate a little too fast without realizing it."

Xiao Lingfeng said he would go, took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, then told Aunt Wang, went back to his room and went to sleep.

This night and this half-day have really exhausted him. The moment his head hit the pillow, he started snoring.

Jian Ning returned to her immortal abode. Her face was still flushed, and Huang Fugui spotted her immediately.

"Master, is it that hot outside? Why is your face so red? And you're not sweating, do you have a fever?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You think you know everything?" Jian Ning glared at it.

He looked at the raw materials that he and Xiao Lingfeng had dug out, which were piled up like a small mountain.

Getting all the jade out of here will be a huge project, so it looks like I won't be able to slack off this afternoon.

They worked until after 8 p.m. before finally extracting all the jade from the rough stones. The spiritual energy in the immortal abode increased considerably.

She didn't intend to let Xiao Lingfeng in as well. After all, he was her last resort.

After a quick wash, I meditated to restore my spiritual energy, and then ate something.

He came out and used a walkie-talkie to call Xiao Lingfeng.

"Are you ready? Let's go now."

"It's raining outside. Not heavily," Xiao Lingfeng said on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Jian Ning hadn't noticed. She walked to the window and looked outside. It was indeed raining. And it didn't look like it would stop anytime soon.

“Go, we can’t delay any longer, I’ll take you with me.” Jian Ning said, and pulled out two raincoats from her spatial storage.

He took it out and gave it to Xiao Lingfeng so he could wear it too. Although he could use a spiritual energy shield, he was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He should save as much as possible.

Just as he was about to take out his sword, he suddenly realized something was wrong; why wasn't it in his spatial storage?

Forget it, let's just use what we usually use. With a flick of his wrist, a gleaming sword appeared before the two of them.

This is no ordinary sword; the one she had before couldn't compare. It's a low-grade spiritual weapon, her natal magic treasure. Its name is Ruoshui.

As soon as it came out, it happily circled around Jian Ning once, then pointed the tip of its sword in Xiao Lingfeng's direction.

"Your sword is with me; you forgot to take it back yesterday. Something about this sword seems a little different to me."

Xiao Lingfeng looked at the constantly trembling sword tip and took out the sword from yesterday from his spatial storage.

"Oh, I don't want that one anymore. Here, take it. This is my secret weapon; it's been with me for many years."

"My master helped me forge it," Jian Ning said, lovingly touching the sword twice with her hand.

"Let's go, it flies fast, we'll be there in no time."

As they soared into the air on their swords, Xiao Lingfeng jumped up as well, and Ruoshui's blade trembled slightly. Before Xiao Lingfeng could even get into position, it flew away.

It was moving extremely fast, and it was only thanks to Xiao Lingfeng grabbing Jian Ning's waist that she didn't fall.

"Hold on tight, my sword is a bit mischievous. I'm a little excited that I finally got out."

It was already quite dark outside, and no one could see them even without using invisibility talismans. Ruoshui flew very high, almost at breakneck speed, and reached the mountain in the blink of an eye.

“Let’s go into the cave. It’s not raining there.” Jian Ning pulled Xiao Lingfeng down from the sword and walked into the jade cave they had dug yesterday.

This place is still some distance from the ground. It's a good place to undergo tribulation.

They summoned Huang Fugui and found a place with the most abundant spiritual energy. Jian Ning took out an array plate and set up two defensive arrays.

Even if you know no one is coming, you still need to be prepared for any eventuality during the foundation building process.

"I'll go first. You keep an eye on things for me. You can start after I've completed my tribulation." Ruoshui, you're not allowed to bully him. Help me keep an eye on things here.
