The sun was scorching hot, and there was not a trace of wind. The paint on the pillars of the house seemed to be sweating. The two ancient trees in the small courtyard were motionless, but the green leaves on the trees were listless, as if they were sleepy.
After lunch in the summer, it was a good time to sleep. However, in a small courtyard in the Ye Mansion, there was a youth wearing a green robe, sitting cross-legged on a bluestone in the courtyard.
"Little Qin, nothing happened to Kong 'er, right? The sun is so hot, even cats and dogs know to find a tree to rest, but he has to be exposed to the sun for a few hours every day at noon. Is he suffering from heat stroke? "Inside the house, Chen Jiuniang worriedly looked at her son sitting outside.
"Godmother, don't worry. Did you notice, brother Ye Kong's forehead is not sweating?" Lu Qin came to learn Shadow Jade martial arts from Ye Kong every day. After half a year, she became very familiar with Chen Jiuniang, and Chen Jiuniang also liked this smart and beautiful girl, so she recognized her as her goddaughter. Of course, Chen Jiuniang's final thoughts were for Ye Kong.
Chen Jiuniang looked at Ye Kong outside, sighed and said, "Boys like to show off, in the future, you have to take care of your brother Ye Kong."
Girls were sensible early, and the fourteen-year-old Lu Qin, of course, understood the meaning of Chen Jiuniang's words. Her oval face suddenly turned red, and she embarrassedly lowered her head to bite the small mole under her lip, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I know, godmother."
Chen Jiuniang looked at her little girl appearance, and could not help but laugh, "It's good that you know, in another two years, I will let you take care of Kong 'er, then I won't have to worry."
Lu Qin was so shy that she could not stand, and quickly said, "Godmother, let's do embroidery."
Others saw Ye Kong working hard under the sun, but in fact, he didn't feel it at all. At noon, the Fire and Earth Reiki in the air were especially active, and the effect of cultivation was better than at midnight.
Ye Kong didn't feel the slightest bit hot. If one used the Heaven's Eye Technique to look, they would discover that his entire body was filled with spiritual energy that wrapped around him. The intense sunlight couldn't touch his body at all.
He desperately absorbed the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy drilled into his palm and flowed through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians. After twelve major circulations, the last remaining trace of essence was injected into his Sea of Qi. That feeling was indescribably comfortable.
For the past six months, Ye Kong had been practicing day and night. He had set a schedule for himself. In the morning, he would practice the Shadow Jade Martial Art. At noon, he would absorb the Fire Aura. In the afternoon, he would make dozens of paper talismans, and then he would practice the whole night.
He trained so hard because he felt a sense of danger, a danger that came from Fan Jiu She. The Fan brothers might have known about his lies long ago, but they still hadn't made a move against him. Ye Kong believed that the brothers were not kind enough to let him go.
Crisis was motivation, and sooner or later the Fan brothers would stretch out their fierce claws, so Ye Kong could only practice day and night to increase his chance of victory in the future battle.
But unfortunately, even though Ye Kong practiced so hard and felt the increase of the spiritual energy in his body, he still stayed at the first level of Qi Refining. It seemed that the cultivation of the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture was really slow. After two years, he still hadn't passed the first level of the first realm.
Although there was no progress in the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture, the martial arts of the Shadow Jade and the ability to make talismans had made great progress. Now he could use the martial arts of the Shadow Jade Martial Art in succession and adapt to the situation. If he were to fight Ye Haoran now, he probably wouldn't have to give way.
After half a year of practice, even Lu Qin was now a martial arts master. The martial arts of the Shadow Jade were too magical. Not only was it magical, but it was also beautiful. Especially when girls fought, it was more beautiful than dancing. It was just that Lu Qin didn't practice immortal techniques, so she couldn't do many of the hovering movements in the air. Otherwise, it would be even more beautiful.
After more than two hours, Ye Kong felt that the movement of the spiritual energy in the air had slowed down a lot, so he stopped absorbing and put the last trace of spiritual energy into his Sea of Qi. Only then did he open his eyes and stand up.
"Big Brother Ye Kong, come in and drink some Summer Sweetened Soup." Lu Qin greeted him.
Ye Kong looked at her and smiled. He thought that girls matured first. Half a year ago, the little girl was still dry and shriveled, but in an instant, she had turned from an ugly duckling to a swan. The beauty of those women's cleavage had already begun to take shape. When he taught her martial arts, it was inevitable that he would touch those parts of the little girl. The soft feeling made Ye Kong's mind sway.
In comparison, Ye Kong felt that he was much more miserable. The little sparrow had just started to grow feathers, and he didn't know when it would spread its wings and fly.
"Summer Sweetened Soup. Is it iced?" Ye Kong asked.
"Yes, my brother asked me to bring the ice. It's very heavy."
Ye Kong suddenly smiled bitterly. Right now, his spiritual energy was getting stronger and stronger, but he still didn't have the basic incantation. Otherwise, as long as he chanted the incantation and used his spiritual energy, it wouldn't be difficult to turn the well in the courtyard into an ice cellar.
When he entered the room, there was a square jade box on the table. This was a magical jade from the Cang Nan Continent. It was called Ice Jade. As long as water was poured in and left overnight, the water inside would turn into ice cubes, just like a refrigerator.
This kind of Ice Jade was relatively rare. The size of a jade box was already a rare luxury item. As for a refrigerator, perhaps only the Royal Family's inner chamber would have one.
Ye Kong took the sweet soup and picked up the Ice Jade box. He said, "F * ck, your brother really knows how to enjoy life. He just made a small fortune, and now he's using a luxury item."
Lu Qin pouted and said angrily, "My brother is not willing to use it. He heard that you cultivate every day at noon, so he bought it and sent it over."
When Chen Jiuniang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Your brother is too polite. For the past six months, you have been giving us gifts and taking care of us. Our lives are already much better. How can we accept such a luxury item?"
Lu Qin hugged Chen Jiuniang's arm and said, "Godmother, don't say that. It should be Brother Ye Kong who takes care of our family. My mother often says that if it wasn't for the Eighth Young Master, she would still be lying blind in a broken house, waiting for death. How could she have such a good life today?"
When Chen Jiuniang heard this, she was happy in her heart, but she scolded, "This little brat, his hair hasn't even grown out yet. How could he have such a great ability? Just help him brag."
Ye Kong laughed and said, "Don't worry, our days will be better in the future. What good days are you living now? In the future, you will understand what good days are."
Chen Jiuniang laughed and scolded, "Brat, you're bragging again. It's good enough that your days haven't changed back. How good do you want it to be?"
When he heard the words "changed back", Ye Kong's heart sank. He thought of Fan Jiushe again. Fan Jiushe was a threat to him. It was like the rope in the "head hanging from the beam", or the needle in the "thorns", constantly forcing him to move forward and never relax!
"I'm going to practice calligraphy." Ye Kong finished the sweet soup and stood up. The so-called calligraphy practice was actually to draw talismans.
When Ye Kong returned to his room, Lu Qin followed him in. The girl's thoughts were so meticulous that it was unimaginable. She actually felt the subtle changes in Ye Kong's mood.
"Brother Ye Kong, godmother and I were just joking. Don't be angry." Lu Qin lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.
Ye Kong said, "Why would I be angry with you? I'm just reminding myself not to be satisfied with the status quo. There's a saying in my hometown, 'Only when you've slept with her is she your woman …'"
Lu Qin's face turned red. She couldn't even lift her head. She said angrily, "Brother Ye Kong, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, I'm a hooligan. I'm used to saying it." Ye Kong quickly changed his words. "Let's put it another way. Only when you put it in your pocket is it your own money? Do you understand this? It's to remind us not to relax until the last moment. We can't enjoy ourselves now. We must always remember that there are still people eyeing us covetously! "
Lu Qin didn't know if she understood, but she nodded in a daze.
Ye Kong was unhappy. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
The little girl was anxious. "Who says I don't understand? Didn't I say to be careful of the Fan brothers?"
"It's good that you understand. I don't think you understand …"
Lu Qin's face turned red. She said in a low voice, "I don't understand what 'money' means." Just as she said it, she added, "If it's about hooligans … then don't say it …"
"Money is also a hooligan." Ye Kong couldn't help but laugh. It was no wonder. Ye Kong always liked to spout nonsense. The new terms that came out of his mouth were very hooligan. In the beginning, Lu Qin always asked him to explain the meaning. Last time, Ye Kong didn't know why he said "condom". After he explained it to Lu Qin, the little girl's face was so red that she was about to bleed. She didn't dare to ask him the meaning of the new terms again.
"Oh, money means money. It's really hard to understand the words from your hometown." The studious little girl learned a new term this time.
"In short, as long as you don't get rid of Brother Fan Jiulong, don't let your guard down. Tell your brother not to be busy enjoying himself. He needs to expand his strength. You have to work hard to practice martial arts. That way, you can be prepared." Ye Kong reminded her again.
Lu Qin nodded. "I understand. Why don't I dance it again for you?"
"Okay."
After a while, Ye Kong said, "The basic starting point of your practice of Shadow Jade is wrong. You can't focus on looking good! You have to focus on hurting people! The martial arts in Shadow Jade are not for show. When it's time to exert force, you have to use all of your strength. When you practice, you have to imagine that your enemy is right in front of you. Watch me do it. "
When Ye Kong practiced Shadow Jade, he was much more ferocious than Lu Qin. However, within this ferociousness, he was also very free and easy. Sometimes, he was like a fledgling soaring through the forest, and sometimes, he was like a gauze swaying in the wind. His peerless figure made Lu Qin's beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.
Clap clap clap! Just as Ye Kong finished practicing, he heard applause. An old man's voice was full of praise. "Shadow Dance! This is definitely a Shadow Dance! This Old Man can die without regrets now that he can see a real Shadow Dance in his lifetime! "
