Chapter 366 Husband, you only need to remember one thing
In the front courtyard of the Frost King's Mansion, Xiao Mo suppressed his cultivation level to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. Holding a wooden spear, he slightly lowered his body and thrust out the spear in a simple and unadorned manner, yet it contained a hidden force.
The young man named Bai Qi on the other side suddenly tensed up, and he quickly retreated with his toes touching the ground. At the same time, he flipped his wrist and drew a wooden spear from his side.
As soon as he steadied himself, he twisted his waist and turned his arm, using the momentum to thrust back, the tip of his spear meeting the attack head-on.
The two wooden spears clashed instantly, their shadows flashing and the sound of spears piercing the air never ceasing.
Bai Qi's spear technique was agile, frequently employing feints, but Xiao Mo remained as steady as a rock, each parry and provocation perfectly timed, subtly maintaining control of the situation.
After a dozen or so exchanges, Bai Qi's breathing became slightly disordered, and his attacks showed a hint of hesitation.
Xiao Mo's gaze sharpened, and he seized the opportunity in an instant.
He suddenly slid his right hand to grip the butt of the gun, and with a flick of his wrist, he flicked upwards. The tip of the gun trembled and drew a short, sharp arc, striking Bai Qi's wrist with a "snap".
Bai Qi groaned in pain, his fingers instinctively loosening, and the wooden spear slipped from his hand, falling to the ground with a dull thud.
Before the sound had completely dissipated, Xiao Mo's spear tip had already arrived, stopping steadily half an inch in front of Bai Qi's throat.
"The prince's marksmanship is superb, and Bai Qi is deeply impressed."
Bai Qi stepped back and clasped his hands in a salute.
Bai Qi was telling the truth.
He had often fought against others before.
Not to mention that he is hard to beat among Qi Refining cultivators, Bai Qi would even be able to fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages.
When Xiao Mo fought Bai Qi with his Qi Refining Realm strength, Bai Qi didn't even last fifty rounds.
For Bai Qi, this was the first time he had lost to a Qi Refining cultivator.
“You have excellent talent, but you’ve always followed a self-taught path. Your marksmanship is too casual, and you lack resources, so your foundation is relatively weak. You haven’t even properly tempered your body.”
Xiao Mo shook his head and tossed him a storage bag.
"Here are some pills and body-tempering formulas to help you improve your physique, as well as two Foundation Establishment Pills, which you can also use when you establish your foundation."
In addition, there is also the Xiao family's Overlord Spear Technique in the storage bag; you can take it and learn it too.
With diligent practice and your talent, you may very well reach the upper three realms in the future.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Bai Qi bowed deeply, holding the storage bag. "I will never forget Your Highness's kindness in recognizing my talent before, and your generous treatment of me today!"
"Alright, alright, are you two done fighting? Have some tea," Qin Siyao said as she brought in a cup of tea and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.
"Thank you, Princess Shuang." Bai Qi bowed respectfully again, and, being thirsty, drank the tea in one gulp.
Xiao Mo also took a sip of tea and asked Bai Qi, "Bai Qi, you came to see me recently but haven't said what it was about yet. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Your Highness has been incredibly kind to me, how could I possibly trouble you any further?" Bai Qi shook his head and said, "I have come today to bid farewell to Your Highness. This afternoon, I will be heading to the Northern Wilderness Army."
"Hmm?" Xiao Mo put down his teacup. "The end of the year is approaching, why are you heading to the Northern Wilderness so early? Why not wait until after the New Year?"
"No, thank you." Bai Qi shook his head. "I want to join the army as soon as possible and adapt quickly. As for my mother, my younger sister is taking care of her, so I don't need to worry about her."
"That's fine then." Xiao Mo nodded. "Go with peace of mind. I will also have someone look after your mother and younger sister. Qin will not let the soldiers have any worries."
"Yes! Bai Qi, thank you again, General!"
Bai Qi stepped back and was about to bow to Xiao Mo again.
However, Xiao Mo stepped forward and helped him up:
"No need to be so polite. The journey to the Northern Wilderness is long and arduous. Please be careful on your journey."
Furthermore, judging from your actions and marksmanship, while being open and honest is a good thing, you are too sharp and aggressive.
We soldiers need a killing intent, but a killing intent is like a sharp blade—drawn when needed, sheathed when not.
Otherwise, people and others will suffer, and even heaven and earth will find it intolerable, ultimately leading to a backlash.
Remember this! Remember this!
"I will keep that in mind," Bai Qi said earnestly.
"Go ahead, I believe you will achieve great things soon." Xiao Mo patted his shoulder.
"I will certainly not disappoint Your Highness! Your Highness, Your Highness, I take my leave!"
Bai Qi bid farewell with a bow and turned to leave.
"well"
After Bai Qi walked out of the courtyard, Xiao Mo sighed heavily.
"Husband, what's wrong? Why do you seem worried about this young man?" Qin Siyao asked curiously. "I think he's a sincere person and listens to you very well."
“He is a sincere and good person, and he listens to me, but how can a person’s nature be changed so easily?” Xiao Mo shook his head. “Forget it, I’ve said what I needed to say. You still have to walk your own path. After all, everyone has their own destiny.”
Xiao Mo turned around and faced Qin Siyao, slowly saying, "Madam, the New Year is just five days away, but before that, I plan to undergo tribulation to enter the Nascent Soul stage."
"Eh?" Qin Siyao grasped Xiao Mo's large hand. "Can't my husband wait until after the New Year?"
"My cultivation level is already somewhat out of control, and my spear intent is at its peak. Furthermore, the Qin Kingdom's fortune is at its height, surrounding the imperial city. At this moment, the timing, location, and people are all in harmony. I will have a better chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage now."
Xiao Mo smiled slightly and tucked a strand of Qin Siyao's hair behind her ear.
“I know what you’re worried about, madam.”
The Nascent Soul Realm is indeed a life-or-death hurdle, extremely dangerous, and countless people have perished at this stage.
But how can we cultivators stand still?
Only with sufficient power can I better protect you.
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
"Besides, I'm a martial arts cultivator. For us martial arts cultivators, the Nascent Soul stage doesn't have the 'Heart-Questioning' hurdle, so it's less difficult than for ordinary cultivators."
“.”
Hearing her husband's comforting words, Qin Siyao was still somewhat uneasy.
However, Qin Siyao also knew that her husband would definitely continue down this path, and as his wife, she should support him instead of being a burden and making him feel more uneasy.
"My lord, I understand, but you must promise me that you will take good care of yourself." Qin Siyao held Xiao Mo's hand tightly.
"Of course, we're having our wedding the year after next," Xiao Mo smiled. "However... if anything happens to me, Madam..."
There is no "if"!
Before Xiao Mo could finish speaking, Qin Siyao's small hand was already pressed against Xiao Mo's lips.
"I mean, in case," Xiao Mo said with a smile, moving his wife's soft, delicate hand away.
"There's no 'what if'!"
Qin Siyao puffed out her cheeks.
"My husband, you only need to remember one thing."
No matter when, where, or what happens.
I am your concubine.
She will always wait for her husband to come back.
forever!"
