Jian Ning took a comfortable hot shower in the space, dried her hair, and changed into a bright red silk camisole nightgown. Her long, seaweed-like hair cascaded down, making her look extremely charming.
After staring at himself in the mirror for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and burst out of the space in a flash.
As soon as she steadied herself, she looked up and saw Xiao Lingfeng's strong, fair chest. A few water droplets were still rolling on it, seemingly still steaming. He must have just finished showering and come out of the bathroom.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" The shock made Jian Ning's face immediately flush red.
"It's too hot, and besides, I'll have to take it off later, which is too much trouble." Xiao Lingfeng looked at her with amusement, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement.
At this moment, Jian Ning was more beautiful than a fairy from heaven, captivating him even more. He felt his words were inadequate to describe her beauty.
He stepped forward, put one arm around Jian Ning's slender waist, and held her tightly in his arms.
Jian Ning placed one hand on his chest, feeling his heart pounding fiercely inside. Suddenly, she laughed. It turned out he wasn't as calm as he appeared. He was nervous too.
"What are you laughing at? Still laughing?"
Xiao Lingfeng didn't know what he had done to make Jian Ning laugh. Seeing her smiling face, he couldn't hold back any longer and lowered his head to seal her smiling little mouth.
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; in this beautiful moment, all words are superfluous.
That night, the two were locked in a fierce battle, their rivalry reaching a stalemate.
In the latter half of the journey, Jian Ning remembered a dual cultivation technique and whispered it in Xiao Lingfeng's ear. After she taught him the technique, things became even more extraordinary. It was as if Xiao Lingfeng had suddenly unlocked his full potential, gaining boundless energy.
When they woke up the next morning, they were both refreshed and didn't look like they hadn't slept all night. Their skills had greatly improved.
Aunt Wang had prepared breakfast downstairs early in the morning, and when she saw the two of them walking down the stairs hand in hand, she couldn't stop smiling.
"Xiao Ning, are you hungry? Come and eat. I've been preparing this all morning, it's all your favorite food."
"Thank you, Mom." As soon as Jian Ning called out "Mom," Aunt Wang quickly responded. She ran to the kitchen to get breakfast for the two of them.
Seafood congee, glutinous rice shumai, pan-fried dumplings, dried assorted small fish, and tea eggs. All were freshly made this morning.
Jian Ning ate with great satisfaction.
There was nothing to do during the day, and Xiao Lingfeng didn't have to go to work. So the two of them would spend their free time upstairs studying and practicing martial arts. It wasn't until the third day after their wedding that they finally came out of the bedroom.
Jian Anping took the day off today and slaughtered all the chickens and geese in the house early this morning. The weather was perfect; the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. She even set up a barbecue grill under the awning by the door.
Before Jian Ning even left Xiao Lingfeng's house, she could smell the aroma of roasted meat outside.
"It must have been my brother who made it. And I must say, it tastes pretty authentic. Lingfeng, you don't need to bring so much stuff, just a token amount is fine. Let's hurry over, or my brother will eat all the meat!"
As Jian Ning spoke, she pushed Xiao Lingfeng toward the courtyard wall.
"No way, he must have prepared it especially for you, knowing you're a little glutton."
Xiao Lingfeng was carrying a box of Moutai liquor, sea cucumbers, and abalone. The seafood wasn't in its box; it was just in bags he was carrying. Since they were all family, it was better to be practical.
Jian Ning didn't help him carry it; instead, she pushed open the small gate between the two courtyards and ran over.
"Brother, you're grilling meat so early in the morning? Is it cooked yet? Hurry up and give me a skewer to try."
"Not yet, wait a little longer. Look how impatient you are! Didn't you eat breakfast?" Jian Anping glanced at Jian Ning, whose complexion was rosy and whose face was full of happiness. He was happy for her too.
"I ate, but my stomach is like a bottomless pit, I can eat as much as I want without any problem. Bro, I didn't know you were good at grilling meat, when did you learn that?"
Jian Ning simply pulled over a small stool and sat down to wait.
“Some of my brothers used to run a barbecue restaurant, and I would help out when I had free time, so I know a little bit about all of these things. The taste is just as good as what you get outside, you’ll know once you try it. This lamb is cooked, so eat slowly and don’t burn yourself.”
Jian Anping handed her a few skewers of grilled lamb.
"tasty."
Jian Ning wasn't afraid of getting burned at all. She took the skewer and took a big bite. It was cooked to perfection, grilled to a golden brown and glistening with oil, slightly spicy and fragrant. One bite was incredibly satisfying.
He even gave Jian Anping a thumbs-up.
"Brother-in-law, have some too. I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Xiao Ning from now on," Jian Anping said, handing Xiao Lingfeng a skewer of meat.
"Brother, don't worry, that's for sure." Xiao Lingfeng didn't stand on ceremony, took the meat skewers, pulled over a stool, and sat down next to Jian Ning.
"Xiao Ning, you're married now, so you need to act like an adult. You can't just disappear all the time. Have you thought about finding something to do at the base? The hospital here is all built now."
They're short of nurses, and it matches your major. Go practice for a while first. I'm not saying you're expected to earn those supplies, but people can't always be idle; they need to be doing something.
"No, brother, I have too many things to do. The 9-to-5 life isn't for me." Jian Ning refused outright. Just kidding, it's the apocalypse, why would she go to work? How could she be so foolish?
"Xiao Ning, you don't need to go to work, just stay at home. Brother, I've also been transferred back to the base. My honeymoon is over in a few days, and I'll have to get busy then." Xiao Lingfeng put down the bamboo skewer in his hand and smiled affectionately at Jian Ning.
"Just spoil her then." Jian Anping shook his head, handing the grilled meat skewers to the two of them. This couple really found the right people. He didn't care anymore. He just needed to live his own life.
To be honest, Jian Ning's married life has been quite happy; she doesn't have to lift a finger when it comes to housework.
The two children, Tian Tian and Huang Fugui, kept the house quite lively. Xiao Lingfeng only rested for a week before reporting for duty and starting his work here.
Bored at home, Jian Ning decided to go into the Immortal Abode again to start her trials.
She had initially thought the fifth level would be extremely difficult, but upon entering, she discovered it only required completing five high-level talismans within a quarter of an hour. For her, that was far too easy.
Regardless of her other skills, drawing talismans was her forte, so she easily passed the test and even received a complete set of talismans and a high-level talisman brush as a reward.
The sixth challenge was to refine pills. She had to refine a batch of Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills with a halo of color within a set time, which was quite difficult. She had learned pill refining from Xiao Wuyu, and although she had grasped the basics, she wasn't very proficient.
It took us a full six months to get through this hurdle.
