Chapter 40 The Undercurrents of Xinzheng

"What is that?"

"Come with me."

Yan Lingji pulled Xia Bing along and walked towards the backyard.

The group was curious, but no one followed.

……

backyard.

Yan Lingji stopped under a tree.

"look."

She stretched out her hand, and a flame ignited in her palm.

The flames flickered and gradually transformed into the shape of a rose.

"This is for you." Yan Lingji handed the "rose" to Xia Bing.

"What is this?"

"The Flame Rose," Yan Lingji laughed, "a secret technique of the Baiyue."

"Is it pretty?"

Xia Bing looked at the flame in her palm.

That rose was so lifelike, it looked real.

"It looks good," he nodded, "but... it can't be saved."

"Yes," Yan Lingji said with some regret, "it'll be destroyed in a moment."

"It's alright," Xia Bing smiled. "As long as the heart is there, that's enough."

Yan Lingji looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Xia Bing, you're always like this."

"What?"

"His words...are captivating."

Xia Bing smiled.

"Just telling the truth."

Yan Lingji sighed.

"Let's go back," she said. "Don't keep people waiting too long."

"good."

The two walked back side by side.

Halfway there, Yan Lingji suddenly stopped.

"Xia Bing."

"Um?"

Thank you for accepting me.

"You're welcome," Xia Bing said, looking at her. "You got it yourself."

Yan Lingji smiled.

"Then I will continue to try."

"What are we fighting for?"

"I'll try... to make you like me."

Xia Bing shook her head and didn't say anything.

……

The banquet has ended.

The guests left one after another.

Xia Bing stood at the door, seeing everyone off.

"Young Master Han Fei, please wait."

"Very well." Han Fei cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for your hospitality today, Young Master Xia."

"Of course."

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang left.

Zi Nu was the last to leave.

"Young Master Xia," she turned around, "I had a very happy day."

"Me too."

"That's good." Zi Nu smiled. "Let's get together again another day."

"good."

Zi Nu turned and left.

Xia Bing watched her retreating figure and sighed.

"Let's go back." Jing Ni walked over. "What are you doing standing at the door?"

"It's nothing." Xia Bing turned around. "Let's go back and pack up."

The two walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, people have already begun to clean up the mess.

Everyone busied themselves putting the tables and chairs back in their places and cleaning up the trash on the ground.

"You've worked hard," Xia Bing said. "You've all worked hard."

"It's not tiring at all," Jingni laughed. "Today is a happy day, I'm not tired."

"That's good."

Xia Bing went into the house and looked at the two children.

Xia Yan and Li Wu's son are both sleeping.

They were sleeping soundly, with smiles on their little faces.

"Today... is a good day," Xia Bing muttered to herself.

He walked to the window and looked at the sunset outside.

"I hope these days... can continue forever."

……

night.

The family sat together for a meal.

Although there were no guests, the atmosphere was still warm and inviting.

"It's so lively today," said the Snow Woman.

"Yes," Jingni nodded, "It's been a long time since it's been this lively."

"It'll be even more lively from now on," Yan Lingji laughed. "As long as we're together, every day will be lively."

"That's true."

Everyone laughed.

Xia Bing looked at them, feeling very content.

These people are all his family members.

He will protect them.

lifetime.

……

(The stars shine brightly in Xinzheng City at night.)

(Some happiness is just that simple.)

(Being with family is the best time.)

A few days after the first birthday banquet.

Xia Bing was instructing Xue Nu on her light-footed skills in the courtyard.

"The key to the Cloud-Stepping Technique lies in lightness, agility, and speed," he said. "With a light touch of the toes, the body should move like the wind."

"Watch closely."

He vanished in a flash.

In the next instant, he had already appeared ten feet away.

"Did you see it clearly?"

The snow woman nodded.

"I saw it clearly, but... it's still a little short."

"What's missing?"

"It's... a bit off." The snow woman frowned. "I just can't seem to find that right spot."

"No rush." ​​Xia Bing walked over. "Come on, I'll teach you step by step."

He stood behind the snow woman, his hands on her waist.

The snow woman's body stiffened slightly.

"Relax," Xia Bing whispered in her ear. "Don't be nervous."

"I'm not nervous." The snow woman's face flushed slightly. "It's just... I'm not used to it."

"You'll get used to it." Xia Bing smiled. "Come on, feel the airflow first."

He guided the Snow Maiden's Qi and blood, allowing her to experience the operation of the Cloud-Stepping Technique.

"Did you feel it?"

"Hmm..." The snow woman closed her eyes, "I think... I'm starting to feel something."

"That's right." Xia Bing let go of her. "Try it yourself."

The snow woman opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and darted out.
