What's There to Cultivate?
As evening fell, Jiang Lin lay on his Flying Sword, enjoying the evening breeze, and looked up at the sky, trying his best to keep the tears from falling.
How could this happen...? How could I have missed this opportunity...?
Recalling what happened that afternoon, Jiang Lin felt as if his heart was being torn apart...
When that martial fortune arrived, he thought it was just dark clouds about to rain and didn't pay attention. Turns out it was the Martial Luck Qi gathering from Wutong Province...
Finally Jiang Lin soared into the air, using a strange Martial Warrior sense to gather these Martial Luck Qi.
Unfortunately, the best time was missed, and the good fortune dissipated in no time...
Although he didn't feel that much importance on these Martial Luck Qi, since practicing boxing was just a side job and his main job was swordsmanship.
But I've heard that beads formed from the condensation of Martial Luck Qi can be sold for money.
Thinking about this, Jiang Lin felt as if a thousand Flying Sword were piercing his heart, like missing out on a skin's return sale, or like not getting any red envelopes in the family and class groups on New Year's Eve.
I feel like I missed out on a fortune...
Although I don't know why those guys were wailing when I missed my chance at war... it doesn't matter anymore...
"Forget it, it's just a hundred million. I'll earn it back next time. I can't go home looking heartbroken."
Jiang Lin rubbed his face, and the thought of his master and Little Niannian Jiang Lin for him to come home on Twin Pearl Peak made him feel much happier.
Moreover, Jiang Lin felt he had already done well. In his haste, he flew up on his Sword Flight, exposing half of his undergarment on the stone table, which made Mother Chen turn green.
Even when Jiang Lin was collecting martial fortune, he saw the pavilion collapse suddenly, followed by a scream that echoed through the sky...
Hearing the heart-wrenching screams, Jiang Lin hastily gathered some martial luck and fled without looking back...
Sigh... I hope Uncle Chen lives a good life...
"Daddy, you're back."
"Little Linlin, welcome home."
Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Lin had just landed when he saw Little Niannian running towards him with her short legs and her little tail wagging.
Master's eyes sparkled with innocent joy as he attempted to dribble the ball into someone, but Jiang Lin dodged it in time, as usual.
"Yes, I'm back."
Jiang Lin picked up Little Niannian and chuckled as he gently rubbed the head of his pouting master, who was looking somewhat resentful.
"I brought you gifts."
Jiang Lin took out two condensed Martial Luck Pearl from his Storage Bag.
This is all the martial energy Jiang Lin collected this afternoon, which has condensed into two small beads.
"So pretty, thank you Daddy." Little Niannian took the sparkling little bead, her eyes filled with joy. It seems that dragons are indeed interested in shiny things.
"Is Little Linlin proposing to Master? Master said yes!" Jiang Yuni said happily as she took the bead.
"Master, stop fooling around. Don't corrupt the child." Jiang Lin gently tapped his master's head.
"Master didn't make a fuss, Little Niannian is already calling me Mommy..."
"Um?"
Jiang Lin looked at Little Niannian, who was holding the Martial Luck Pearl in his arms.
Noticing her father's gaze, Little Niannian tucked the Martial Luck Pearl between her little arms and poked her Xiao Xiao finger with it.
"Daddy... it's all Niannian's fault, but... but..."
Seeing Little Niannian's guilty little face, Jiang Lin found it both amusing and adorable, and pretended to be angry as he asked:
"But what is it?"
"But the Yuni Sugar-coated Haws that Fishy Mommy gave me were so delicious..." Little Niannian glanced furtively at Jiang Lin and said sweetly, "Is Daddy angry?"
"No, Little Lin, you can't be angry with Little Niannian. If you're going to be angry, be angry with me. My daughter and I will stand by you!"
Jiang Yuni took Little Niannian from Jiang Lin's arms, and the two of them blinked their big eyes at Jiang Lin.
"Okay, okay, I'm not angry." Jiang Lin smiled and patted his master and Niannian's little heads.
Although Jiang Lin missed out on a martial arts opportunity, feeling like he missed out on a fortune, seeing his master and Little Niannian looking so warm and loving made Jiang Lin feel like he had won two fortunes.
Little Niannian has an innate ability to judge whether someone has malicious intent; this is a basic quality of the True Dragon Race, even though her master used Sugar-coated Haws to tempt Little Niannian.
However, the fact that Little Niannian can call her master "Mama" shows that Little Niannian completely trusts her master, and that her master genuinely likes Little Niannian, which puts his mind at ease.
"Daddy, are you really not angry with Niannian?" Little Niannian blinked as she looked at Jiang Lin, her eyes brimming with tears that seemed about to fall.
"Really, how could Daddy bear to be angry with Niannian?" Jiang Lin gently wiped away the tears from the Little Niannian's eyes, and the Dragon Tears slid down Jiang Lin's fingers and onto the ground.
"Little Linlin isn't angry with Master anymore?" Jiang Yuni asked happily, holding Little Niannian in her arms.
Jiang Lin frowned, curled his finger, and gently flicked his master's forehead. "You can't fool Little Niannian anymore, Master, understand?"
With his head lowered, the master rubbed his own head and said You You, "I understand..."
As with his daily life, although cultivators at the Cave Mansion Realm and above could skip meals, Jiang Lin still insisted that the greatest happiness was for his family to eat together in an orderly fashion. Besides, even if he and his master didn't need to eat, Little Niannian still needed to eat.
So when Jiang Lin returned to Twin Pearl Peak, he cooked a table full of delicious food. After the three of them ate their fill, Jiang Lin also used the honey that his master and Little Niannian had brought from the neighboring Black Mountain Peak to make dessert. Then the family of three sat on the Twin Pearl Peak Summit and looked at the starry sky.
Jiang Lin continued telling his master and Little Niannian stories about constellations and modified, pixelated, pure love Greek mythology...
As Jiang Lin was talking, he noticed that the Little Niannian in his arms had snuggled closer to him, her little tail curled up, and her master, who was holding his arm, was resting on his shoulder, fast asleep.
"Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality, but if in the end you no longer have anyone you love by your side, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"
Looking at the girl and woman beside him, Jiang Lin smiled slightly, placed Little Niannian in his master's arms, and then carried his master to the room.
There are two Thatched Cottage on Twin Pearl Peak, one for the master and one for Jiang Lin. There was also a temporary Thatched Cottage that Jiang Lin demolished... It doesn't feel safe to live in these temporary structures...
Little Niannian is afraid to sleep alone, but now that she has a master, he can't let Little Niannian sleep with him all the time.
After placing the two girls on the bed and covering them with blankets, Jiang Lin looked at them as they slept soundly. He thought for a moment and decided that he shouldn't say goodbye to them when he left tomorrow. Otherwise, he, a grown man, might not be able to withstand their tears...
Back in his room, Jiang Lin wrote a letter to his master and Little Niannian, then fell asleep peacefully. The next day, just as dawn broke, before the alarm clock made by Mo Family Cultivator Xiao Hei from the Sun Moon Sect, swung its hammer and smashed into his stomach, Jiang Lin suddenly opened his eyes and turned off the alarm clock.
Just as Jiang Lin sat up and got out of bed, intending to secretly leave Twin Pearl Peak for Donglin City...
"Bang..."
Jiang Lin, who had just gotten out of bed, suddenly collapsed to his knees on the floor...
He stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed.
"Holy crap! My kidneys are hurting again!"
The cover was forcibly changed... apparently it didn't meet the standards... emmm...
Xianyu has already hired a graphic designer to redo it, and it should be up and running in a few days...
