Ziyan straightened her expression and stared seriously.
Ling Yuxuan raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly, "Here! Future Wife, no problem. I must find out every detail of this beautiful story, so just wait, Future Wife."
"Go on, trying to take advantage of me again."
Ziyan listened as he kept calling her Future Wife, and the more he spoke, the more outrageous it became. Naturally, she shot him a fierce glare.
Ling Yuxuan looked at her adorable expression and burst into laughter, his cheerful voice echoing throughout the entire Mountain Valley.
Naturally, the few people on the cliff heard it too, and they exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what was happening.
But one thing was clear: their Young Master had never laughed so heartily before.
……
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Qin Ming, with a deeply serious expression, gazed into the distance and understood where the laughter of the two young people by the hot spring came from.
His thoughts drifted back over twenty years to another mountain cave in this jungle area. A gentle, caring, and beautiful girl was patiently helping a young boy clean his wounds with salt water—
Though the wounds stung painfully from the salt, the brave boy endured it, focusing intently on the face of the girl who was treating him. He saw her complexion as white as jade, with delicate and soft features.
For over ten days, the girl brought warm meals to the boy every morning and evening and even gifted him an old but spotless set of coarse cloth clothes that had been meticulously patched.
It was evident that these patches were made by her skilled hands. The boy often found himself staring at her beautiful face and delicate hands, blushing with youthful shyness whenever he did so.
The adolescent boy and girl spent time together like this, both drawn to each other's type, naturally developing feelings for one another.
However, sometimes fate plays tricks on people, and no one can contend with it. As the saying goes, "Man proposes, but Heaven disposes," which is what people refer to as the will of heaven that cannot be defied!
Finally, they returned to their world of two. Ling Yuxuan gazed affectionately at the little figure in front of him and said, "We've been busy for two or three days; how about we enjoy a nice soak in the hot spring?"
"Uh? Oh," Ziyan followed his gaze towards the bubbling Hot Spring Pool, which was still steaming gently. After soaking and practicing there every evening for the past two months, she noticed a significant improvement in her body.
Moreover, she had grown fond of soaking in hot springs; it turned out that it could be quite addictive.
Coming back to her senses, Ziyan approached the edge of the large pool only to realize she hadn't changed her clothes.
At that moment, she noticed that Ling Yuxuan had already disappeared from where he stood just a moment ago. Of course, she knew what he was up to, so she sat on a clean rock by the pool's edge, waiting for his return.
Sure enough, a moment later, Ling Yuxuan appeared in front of Ziyan holding two white bathrobes.
Ziyan took one without hesitation and smiled at Ling Yuxuan across from her. He returned her smile and then habitually turned his back to change clothes quickly.
At this time, Ziyan also turned around contentedly to change her clothes.
Just as she finished changing, she heard Ling Yuxuan calling out: "One, two—" When he counted to three, they both turned around and exchanged smiles.
Then hand in hand, they stepped into the Hot Spring Pool, adjusting themselves into their most comfortable positions while leaning against each other with their eyes closed.
After soaking in the hot spring, their physical and mental fatigue eased. When they resumed their training afterward, they could focus better than usual and make remarkable progress in their skills.
This is a summary that Ziyan came to some time ago, so every evening the two of them would soak in the Hot Spring Pool for a while. Every few days, Ling Yuxuan would also infuse her with some vital energy and inner strength, and then they would both get up to consolidate the skills they practiced that day.
Although it had only been a short two months, Ziyan was already able to fly up cliffs and float over the Deep Pool.
Just like before when she leaped from the Zi Family all the way to Hot Spring Valley, Ziyan no longer relied on Ling Yuxuan to assist her in moving forward; this time it was entirely based on her own abilities. Even upon reaching Hot Spring Valley, she only felt slightly fatigued.
In the past, if she had walked this distance on foot, she would have been out of breath.
Now, after soaking in the Hot Spring Pool for a moment and taking a short nap, when Ziyan woke up, she felt that slight fatigue had completely vanished.
At this moment, she felt a surge of energy and wanted to get out of the water to practice her already well-mastered martial arts skills for countless rounds.
So she opened her eyes and saw that just three meters away, Ling Yuxuan had not opened his eyes. He was sitting in the water with his eyes slightly closed, fully focused on cultivating his inner power.
As his inner energy circulated, layers of light mist emerged from his head, and a nearly two-meter-high wall of water rose around him, isolating Ziyan from him.
Within the wall of water, she could vaguely see a large spherical object made of mist slowly growing larger in front of Ling Yuxuan.
Filled with admiration and envy, Ziyan thought about how wonderful it would be if she could practice her skills to such a level one day.
She continued to gaze intently at Ling Yuxuan, watching as the sphere quickly expanded from what seemed like the size of a soccer ball to an increasingly larger size. Even from three meters away, she could inexplicably feel a strong and oppressive aura enveloping her, making her nearly hold her breath.
The expanding object continued to grow until it was close to the wall of water before it stopped increasing in size and began rising toward Ling Yuxuan's head. It quickly surpassed the height of the wall of water and continued ascending into the air until it reached at least ten feet above the hot spring.
Suddenly, there was a loud booming sound as the massive bubble burst in an instant, scattering mist everywhere.
At this moment, Ziyan, who had initially felt her heart racing to her throat, suddenly regained her composure and took a deep breath. Just as she calmed down, a white light shot out of the water and rushed towards her.
It quickly wrapped her in its embrace. In that brief moment, Ziyan realized how much she had grown attached to this young man and responded without hesitation, wrapping her arms tightly around Ling Yuxuan's neck.
Thus, without the previous awkwardness, Ling Yuxuan remembered the last time he almost crossed a line and restrained a certain impulse within him, allowing the girl to quietly nestle in his arms.
When Ziyan moved slightly, Midnight swallowed hard and gently kissed her soft, delicate lips, not daring to linger any longer.
"Are you okay?" Ling Yuxuan softly asked Ziyan in his arms.
Once he saw Beloved Child nodding in agreement, he lifted them both and they soared out of the water, landing on a rock by the shore.
Next, it was time for Ling Yuxuan to accompany Ziyan in practice again.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yuxuan took Ziyan soaring above Deep Pool. With a gentle push off two tall reeds, they flew directly to the top of the waterfall.
The view at the top of the waterfall was unexpectedly beautiful. Under the soft glow of Bright Moon, everything was bathed in a gentle silver light. At the top of the waterfall was a wide and shallow stream.
Wildflowers bloomed everywhere along both banks, filling the air with fragrance and creating an open landscape.
Thus, two ethereal figures, like fairies descending from heaven, practiced together on this open little plain, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.
