Chapter 142: New Year (Part 2)



"Qiu Shuang, although you are practicing the way of extreme yin, you must know that yin alone cannot produce anything, and yang alone cannot grow. Therefore, blindly practicing yin qi is not conducive to your practice. The Taiyin Heart Sutra also has the concept of extreme yin counteracting yang. So I suggest that you cultivate Shaoyang qi from your Taiyin qi, and then balance yin and yang to achieve long-term prosperity."

"Shuanghua, you have reached a bottleneck in your practice. Don't be impatient. You need to slowly polish yourself to break through. So during this period of time, apart from the morning and evening Qigong, don't practice any exercises. It's better to practice swordsmanship with Xue'er."

"Xue'er... what? You said that you have mastered all the three sword techniques I taught you yesterday? Well... OK, I will teach you two more sword techniques next. Please watch carefully..."

In a spacious room, Lin Xiaoran was teaching Feng Lingxue and the other three in a serious manner. Although this little girl looked childish, she was very knowledgeable when teaching people. Feng Shao stood at the door, listening to Lin Xiaoran's teaching from a distance, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

This little girl really has some of the aura of a master's wife.

Lin Xiaoran taught seriously, and Feng Lingxue and the other two also listened attentively. After Lin Xiaoran finished demonstrating both sets of sword techniques and explained the key points that needed to be paid attention to, he waved his hand and let them practice on their own.

"Wow! Xue'er's comprehension of swordsmanship is too terrifying, isn't it? No wonder mother said Xue'er was born with a swordsmanship. Her talent is probably not much inferior to mother's, right? But what can I do? These are the only swordsmanship I know. If I continue to teach her, I will have nothing to learn..."

Lin Xiaoran muttered to himself as he walked out with his head down. But when he reached the door, he suddenly felt his head hit something, and then he fell backwards involuntarily.

Before Lin Xiaoran could react, she felt her waist tighten. She raised her head quickly, only to see Feng Shao looking at her with a smile on his face, his arms around her waist.

Lin Xiaoran's face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire, and he looked extremely cute.

Feng Shao saw Lin Xiaoran's shy and cute look, and couldn't help but laugh: "Ran'er, your little master's wife looks quite like that!"

When this was mentioned, Lin Xiaoran suddenly became proud. She pouted and snorted, "Of course! Brother Shao, don't look down on me because I'm young, I'm also very capable!"

Feng Shao gently scratched Lin Xiaoran's nose and said with a smile: "Yes, my Ran'er is super awesome!"

Lin Xiaoran was about to speak, but when he saw Luo Qiushuang and the others looking at him, he immediately felt very shy, and quickly punched Feng Shao's chest and whispered, "Brother Shao, please let me go quickly, this is really embarrassing!"

"Hmm?" Feng Shao cast his gaze towards Luo Qiushuang and the others. Luo Qiushuang and Bai Shuanghua quickly turned their heads back, as if they hadn't seen anything happen. Only Feng Lingxue opened her big watery eyes and looked at Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran curiously, as if she was wondering what the two were doing.

Feng Shao coughed lightly and let go of Lin Xiaoran. At the same time, he said to Feng Lingxue and the others, "You guys practice on your own first. Ran'er and I will go out for a walk."

Having said that, he took Lin Xiaoran's hand without saying anything and walked out together.

After walking out of the door, Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but complain to Feng Shao: "Brother Shao, can you not be like this in front of outsiders in the future?"

Feng Shao looked innocent: "Can't I even hug my fiancée?"

"It's not that I can't hug you, it's just... it's just... Alas, the little dignity I have accumulated with great difficulty is about to be destroyed by you!" Lin Xiaoran said coquettishly.

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Whether I hug you or not, you are their master's wife, how can you not have dignity? Well, don't think too much. I have some free time today, come and walk with me!"

During this period of time, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran met less often due to being busy with the city construction. Although Lin Xiaoran understood Feng Shao, he was still a little unhappy. Hearing Feng Shao's words, he couldn't help but feel happy, but his face showed a nonchalant look: "Who... who wants to accompany you? If you want me to accompany you, I will accompany you. Wouldn't that make me lose face? Tell me yourself, how long have you not been with me?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoran felt a little aggrieved, and there was a hint of resentment in his tone.

Feng Shao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ran'er, I've neglected you during this period. But I have time these days, and I can accompany you wherever you want to go."

Feng Shao was not a capitalist who treated people like animals, so he would not let the laborers continue to work during the New Year. Feng Shao first paid the laborers for the past few months, and gave each of them a bag of rice and a bag of salt, and asked them to go home to celebrate the New Year, and then come back to work seven days later. The laborers did not expect such a benefit, and they thanked Feng Shao one after another, and then happily carried the rice on their backs and set off on their way home.

Therefore, the construction of the new city was suspended during these few days, and Feng Shao himself was finally able to take a break.

Lin Xiaoran's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? Brother Shao, you didn't lie to me?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "I won't lie to anyone but you!"

Lin Xiaoran tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Then I want you to hold me and fly around in the sky!"

Feng Shao asked mischievously, "Aren't you afraid of losing your dignity this time?"

Lin Xiaoran said, "If no one saw it, then it's okay!"

For Lin Xiaoran, flying in the sky was nothing, but being held by Feng Shao was a completely different feeling. She was fascinated by the feeling of being in the warm embrace of her lover and feeling the strong wind blowing on her face.

Feng Shao naturally would not refuse Lin Xiaoran's request. He picked Lin Xiaoran up and said with a long smile: "Since Ran'er has ordered, I will obey!"

A golden light flashed, and Feng Shao had already stepped onto the Golden Crow Sword and flew into the air. Lin Xiaoran's exclamation came from the air:

"How come it's flying here?"

Feng Shao spent the next day with Lin Xiaoran.

After circling over the new city, Lin Xiaoran unsatisfiedly asked Feng Shao to take her shopping. However, this place was a little far from Bianyun City, and it would take several hours to go back and forth, so the two chose a small town nearby.

After entering the city, Lin Xiaoran excitedly dragged Feng Shao to stroll along the street. Even in this world, shopping seems to be a natural instinct of women. In the crowded crowd, Lin Xiaoran and Feng Shao walked around, bought some rouge and powder at this stall, and some jewelry at that stall. Tired of strolling, the two found a bun shop to sit down, ordered two trays of buns, and ate them with hot and sour soup.

Feng Shao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Xiaoran eating buns with his cheeks puffed up so cutely.

Seeing Feng Shao's smile, Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but asked coquettishly, "Brother Shao, what are you laughing at?"

Feng Shao said with emotion: "I suddenly remembered the time when we first met. I still remember that time, you were dirty all over and looked like a little beggar. I also treated you to steamed buns at that time, but you ate the buns just like today, completely disregarding your image, wolfing down the buns and almost choking yourself to death..."

Hearing Feng Shao say this, Lin Xiaoran's face also showed a look of reminiscence: "At that time, I wanted to find my mother, so I went down the mountain by myself, but I didn't expect the world down the mountain to be so dangerous. Not only was my money stolen, but a lot of jewelry was also cheated away. In the end, I didn't even have money to eat. Before I met you, I had been hungry for several days. It was then that I realized how uncomfortable it felt to be hungry..."

At this point, Lin Xiaoran looked at Feng Shao with a gentle expression: "But God has been kind to me, letting me meet you when I was about to starve to death."

Feng Shao smiled and said, "God has been very kind to me, sending such a good girl to me. The greatest luck in my life is to be with you..."

Lin Xiaoran blushed and turned his head away unnaturally: "Why...why did you suddenly say such disgusting words? I got goosebumps just by listening to it..."

Feng Shao pretended to be regretful and said: "If Ran'er doesn't like to hear it, then I won't say it again in the future."

"Who... who said I don't like listening?" Lin Xiaoran said quickly, "In the future... it's good to listen to it occasionally..."

The more Lin Xiaoran spoke, the smaller his voice became, until it was almost as thin as a mosquito's.

Feng Shao smiled and turned to look at the lights of thousands of homes in the city.

Finally, I will have a home!

At this moment, Feng Shao suddenly let out a light exclamation. Lin Xiaoran curiously followed Feng Shao's gaze and saw a faint white light streaking across the sky and swooping down towards the city. Passersby noticed the white light and screamed to avoid it.

Lin Xiaoran and Feng Shao couldn't help but look at each other.

Feng Shao said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone was flying on a sword and fell down."

Lin Xiaoran said puzzledly: "You haven't mastered the art of controlling objects yet, right? Brother Shao, why don't we go over and take a look!"

Feng Shao nodded: "Okay."

After Feng Shao placed a handful of copper coins on the table, he and Lin Xiaoran quickly ran towards the direction where the white light fell. Along the way, pedestrians were panicked, fearing that the white light would fall and hit them. This was no wonder, whether it was a meteor or a monk flying on a sword, if they were hit, they would definitely be killed.

Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran noticed that the trajectory of the falling white light was intermittent, as if the cultivator flying the sword was trying his best to control it, but he was powerless and still could not stop the falling trend.

Before long, the white light was only seven or eight meters above the ground, and the figure hidden under the white light gradually emerged. After Feng Shao saw the figure clearly, he was shocked: "How could it be her?"

"Who?" Lin Xiaoran asked subconsciously. But Feng Shao had no time to answer, he jumped up and flew up directly with the air control technique.

When cultivators fly, they can control Qi or control objects, but the former consumes much more energy than the latter. Therefore, unless they are cultivators above the Hedao realm who don't care about the consumption of true Qi, cultivators will generally fly by controlling objects.

At the moment, Feng Shao couldn't care less because of the urgent situation. He stared at the figure falling from the air, found the right moment, stepped forward to hug the figure, and then slowly landed.

Lin Xiaoran had also rushed over at this time, and saw Feng Shao holding a woman in his arms. Lin Xiaoran was a little unhappy, but when she saw the figure in Feng Shao's arms clearly, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why...why is it her?"

The woman was wearing a blue dress stained with blood, her face was pale, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were closed. She was none other than Han Biyun, a disciple from the third branch of Taiwei Sect!
