Dream Star Lotus Sword Art? / Look Outside the Window

"This human is quite interesting~"

"The great fallen angel will bless you~"

[img=700,954]This is the author's first book, and they're already putting in a lot of effort...

Please give me some time!

Chapter 80 Dream Star Lotus Sword Art?

Taking into account that Su Xiaoxiao and Miss Luo Xiyan might return tonight.

So on her way home, Ling Mengxue stopped by the farmers' market and reluctantly spent several hundred yuan to buy groceries.

After arriving home, she began to boil water and cook.

Tie on a scarf and put on a chef's hat.

Next, she took out the cutting board, washed the vegetables, and skillfully picked up the cleaver, disappearing in a blur.

Carrots, cucumbers, luncheon meat, chicken, duck, fish, beef, and lamb were all diced and placed in separate small bowls for later use. Finally, some chopped green onions and celery were also added.

The "vegetable-chopping master" is actually myself?

Finally, in less than an hour, she finished everything.

Four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, a balanced diet!

I placed three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table and left them there for now, to wait until everyone came back before we ate together.

[Master, we suggest you immediately begin cultivating your exclusive sword technique to ensure a safe journey ahead.]

As soon as I sat down on the sofa, Xi He's cold, mechanical, loli-like voice echoed in my mind.

Ling Mengxue paused slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. "Aren't you already completely invincible? Why are you still practicing sword techniques?"

[No, Master. I told you from the beginning that you have no combat power. You broke the rules yourself. The Princess Camp's exclusive all-attribute system existed to protect itself in the beginning.]

Each subsequent stage can be unlocked once; once the time limit expires, you will return to being an ordinary person.

"The same as before?"

Ling Mengxue was taken aback. Although she felt somewhat surprised, it seemed to make sense.

Otherwise, she would truly be an unparalleled, cheat-like existence.

[No, the time will grow shorter and shorter until it disappears. Only by comprehending your own sword technique can you truly possess your own power.]

"Hmm? What's the time limit now?"

After hearing the news, Ling Mengxue remained calm throughout, showing no signs of anger or frustration. Instead, she seemed to be in deep meditation, simply brewing her tea.

As soon as boiling water was poured into the cup, a cloud of white steam rose into the air, but unfortunately, this was not "spiritual energy".

Premium Orchid-Fragrance Oolong, after brewing, has a rich, deep yellow color resembling amber, with a faint orchid fragrance in the air. It has a mellow, sweet, and refreshing taste with a long-lasting aftertaste.

The aroma of Yin Yun tea is high-pitched and long-lasting, and it can be said that "it retains its fragrance even after seven infusions," which is truly remarkable...

Health preservation~

[The master doesn't seem to be in a hurry, so I won't say anything more.]

"??"

"Give me something specific, I'm not asking anymore!"

[Ten minutes.]

"Hmm? It's still that long. Thinking back, previous battles all seemed to end in less than five minutes, so it didn't have a big impact."

Ling Mengxue took a sip of tea and pondered leisurely.

"This tea has a slightly unique quality. It is not scented with flowers, yet the tea soup has a rich floral aroma. It is sweet and delicious to drink, with a lingering aftertaste."

[...]

"I used to find every sip of it bitter and awful, but now I'm actually starting to savor it. How strange!"

[Could you please raise my "Tea Ceremony" level to level one? Otherwise, we won't be able to communicate properly!]

"Xi He, there seems to be a hint of resentment in your tone? Aren't you supposed to be emotionless?"

[After unlocking the Third Order of the Destiny Sign, Xi He has developed a sliver of intelligence, though it is not yet apparent.]

"Intelligence?" Ling Mengxue curled her long hair, her face filled with disbelief.

[...]

[Alright, please allow me to finish speaking at once. After a while, all attributes will be automatically locked and returned to the time-limited state.]

The Princess Camp's exclusive sword technique is the highest-level skill on the Destiny Boundary. Even with the cultivation level of Apprentice Star Engraving, one can fight beyond their level. However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate and requires years of accumulation.

Later on, there will be a series of choices and tasks that the master needs to complete to accelerate the progress of the Fourth Order of the Destiny Sign and prevent threats lurking in the darkness.

"Tea is a mood, a silent expression that speaks volumes."

[?????]

"Alright~ just kidding. Those who need to know, know. But right now, I just want to enjoy my tea in peace."

"After all, there's no use in rushing, is there? Besides, our current strength is sufficient for this small Linzhuo. Given enough time, we'll naturally reap the rewards."

Ling Mengxue rested her chin on her hand, gazing thoughtfully.

If she remembered correctly, she thought there was a sword technique in the "Perfect Lady Training Manual".

After thinking it over and making up her mind, she took it out and immediately opened it.

It seems that each volume of the book contains a certain artistic conception, which can be read in five characters.

"Dream Star Lotus Sword Art"

"The name sounds quite elegant and beautiful, but I don't know if it's really that good. In any case, I hope it's not some flashy sword technique that's actually useless."

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Ling Mengxue glanced at her phone.

I have a few unread messages from Ling Wanqing and Ling Luoluo. They're all trivial things, just casual greetings.

Since you've decided to start practicing swordsmanship, let's talk about it again after tomorrow's exam when we have time...

Ling Xiaoyu had just finished dealing with some trivial matters in Yanjing Jiang Li invited her to dinner, but she politely declined.

She planned to return to the Linzhuo Magic Association to reorganize things, issue the next tasks, and make some arrangements.

However, upon arriving at the station, they changed their plans at the last minute.

Since Ling Luoluo wasn't home, and her younger brother was alone, she, as the older sister, felt she had to go back and check on him. Besides, it was on her way anyway, and it wouldn't interfere with her schedule.

So, as soon as she passed through the ancient city, she took a taxi home.

She didn't call or text directly, mainly because she wanted to surprise Ling Feng and see his surprised expression.

"Judging by the time, Xiaofeng should have been in school for a while now, right? I wonder how his daily life is going. He has a washing machine at home, and he can eat at school..."

Ling Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, then belatedly realized she had already arrived at her doorstep.

Although the room was quiet, the light shining through the windows at least indicated that someone was inside.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiaoyu didn't open the door or call out directly. Instead, she sneaked to the window, intending to observe what her dear younger brother was doing.

But when she looked through the glass window and saw the scene inside, there was no sign of the cold yet gentle younger brother she remembered. Instead, there was a stunningly beautiful young girl.

The girl had long, pure white hair as white as snow, and a pair of clear, bright eyes like noble sapphires, both aloof and adorable.

At this moment, she was looking down quietly at her phone, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes daydreaming, looking adorably silly, with a kind of innocent and sweet vibe, yet also exuding a mature and composed aura.

"Zhongteng Middle School uniform? Is that... Xiaofeng's girlfriend?"

"But where is Xiaofeng?"

Ling Xiaoyu was stunned. She was the only one in the living room. Could she be upstairs?

She was initially just curious, but when she caught a glimpse of the phone in the girl's hand, she was startled.

I stood by the window, silent for several seconds.

A strange thought came to mind, but Ling Xiaoyu's gaze remained fixed on the girl.

I subconsciously took out my phone and opened my contacts...

[Img=700,901]The rain has stopped~

Chapter 81 Look out the window

Ling Mengxue was still checking for news when she suddenly received a phone call.

Um... Sister Xiaoyu...

Sister Xiaoyu?!

She had set her phone to silent and not vibrate when she received a call, so no one would notice.

But if you happen to be looking at your phone, then of course you'll see it.

She hesitated, unsure whether to accept the call.

If my older sister knew about the changes, would she be able to accept it?

She had clearly made up her mind long ago, but when the moment actually arrived, she became timid again.

Ling Mengxue felt like crying; she really wanted to cry.

The siblings grew up together and were like real siblings, always getting along well, no matter how mischievous or naughty they were.

The older sister always indulged her younger brother, taking him out to play, cooking for him, washing his clothes, and cleaning for him, without ever complaining. At most, she would offer a few words of advice, but the younger brother still ignored her.

Even in this state, why are you still concerned about him?

Wouldn't it be better to let him fend for himself?

"Sister... Sister..."

After a moment of silence, she finally answered the phone.

First, let me explain properly. Whether you believe it or not, Sister Xiaoyu is the president of the Linzhuo Magic Association, so she should know something about it.

Standing at the window, Ling Xiaoyu was on her phone, talking to someone, while also watching the girl sitting in the living room, head bowed and whispering.

Her voice was gentle and soft, as light and ethereal as a wind chime, sweet as honey and incredibly comforting, and as melodious as a flowing spring, refreshing and soothing to the soul.

So gentle...

Faintly, one could see her body trembling slightly; though not obvious, it could still be detected upon close observation.

Ling Xiaoyu's gaze was gentle, her eyes like autumn water, her heart like a pear blossom pure white. She already knew what was going on, but she didn't intend to say it out loud.

"Xiaofeng, are you home?"

"Sister, aren't you confused?" Ling Mengxue asked, her voice trembling with suppressed emotions, seemingly trying to deflect the question.

"How could that be? But so what? You used to be my brother, now you're my sister~"

"But how should I view this?"

"It's okay, don't feel pressured, just be the same as before."

Upon hearing this, Ling Mengxue was stunned.

She never expected Ling Xiaoyu to take such a thing so lightly. Aren't there still so many problems? How can she be the same as before?

Of course, the most important thing is that Xiaoyu didn't mind this. She was actually very touched, and was just afraid that when they met, she wouldn't even recognize him.

Ling Mengxue remained silent, her expression somewhat dazed, and did not reply.

Because she didn't know what else to say, her joy was beyond words, and tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her mouth and sobbed, completely unaware that someone was standing by the window.

It wasn't that she wanted to cry, it was just that her body's physiological reactions were like that, and she couldn't control them. Are women really made of water?
