Candied Hawthorn Skewers

As Jun Lin explained, Ah Yin listened attentively, excitement gleaming in her eyes. She seemed eager to try this miraculous power for herself.

Then, she closed her eyes and followed Jun Lin's guidance, gathering her spiritual power before using Soul Power to guide it. Gradually, she felt a powerful pressure forming around her. The air around her grew heavy, as though an invisible mountain were pressing down upon her.

As Ah Yin continued practicing, she became increasingly adept at controlling Soul Pressure. She could freely control its strength and range, turning it into a powerful weapon in battle.

In the days that followed, they discussed all kinds of Soul Power techniques together. Jun Lin tried combining the Soul Power weapons he had created with Soul Pressure, developing even more powerful methods of attack.

Ah Yin, meanwhile, combined Soul Pressure with the traits of her martial soul and developed unique combat techniques.

They also held practical sparring sessions, testing one another and examining the results of their cultivation.

This residence in Nuoding City bore witness to Jun Lin and Ah Yin's growth and struggles.

On a quiet night, Jun Lin and Ah Yin sat side by side in the courtyard, gazing up at the starry sky. The stars were like countless dazzling gems embedded in the vast heavens, radiating a mysterious and enchanting glow.

"A-Jun, do you think our days ahead will always be this wonderful?" Ah Yin tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of longing.

Jun Lin looked at Ah Yin's captivating expression and replied with a smile, "Of course. Our future days will definitely be even better."

"Hehe, I really hope we can keep living like this, peacefully and quietly." Ah Yin rested her chin in both hands, her gaze fixed tightly on the sky.

They silently watched the stars like that, as if time had frozen in that moment. Their hearts were filled with anticipation for a beautiful future.

After a moment of silence, Ah Yin suddenly sighed softly, her gaze slowly sweeping across every corner of the courtyard.

With a hint of sentimentality, she said, "A-Jun, we'll be leaving Nuoding City soon. We have so many wonderful memories here." A trace of reluctance appeared in her eyes.

Jun Lin fell silent for a moment as well, then took Ah Yin's hand. "Yeah, but even more wonderful memories are waiting for us ahead. Nuoding City is only one stop on our journey."

"Mm, you're right. It's just that I still can't help feeling a little reluctant." Ah Yin sighed softly.

"Don't be sad. We'll create even more wonderful memories in new places. Besides, no matter where we go, we'll be together." Jun Lin looked at Ah Yin gently.

Hearing this, Ah Yin nodded, and a smile returned to her face.

The morning sunlight slowly unfolded like a serene and beautiful painting. It filtered through the thin clouds and gently fell upon every corner of Nuoding City, casting a warm golden glow.

On the streets of Nuoding City, all kinds of noisy cries rose and fell. Stepping onto this street felt like plunging into a sea of joy, the bustling atmosphere instantly wrapping around anyone who entered.

The streets were packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. Every face bore a different expression—anticipation, satisfaction, curiosity. Like cheerful streams, people flowed between the various food stalls.

All kinds of food stalls lined both sides of the road, their cooking smoke drifting upward and weaving together into a vivid picture full of life.

The old man selling wontons stood behind his stall, leaning forward slightly. His rough hands fluttered like agile butterflies as he rapidly wrapped wontons. His gaze was focused and serious, and every wonton was exquisitely small. As he worked, he shouted loudly:

"Come take a look! Thin wrappers, big fillings, piping-hot wontons! One bite of that delicious soup, and you'll feel good all over!"

From time to time, the old man gently stirred the large pot with a ladle. The freshly cooked bowls of wontons steamed like blooming white flowers, giving off an irresistible fragrance. The aroma filled the air and seized the noses of passersby, making them stop one after another, eager to taste the delicacy.

Beside him, the old woman selling roasted sweet potatoes sat on a small stool. One hand held a palm-leaf fan, gently fanning the stove, while the other occasionally turned the sweet potatoes inside.

Her face was full of smiles as she called out enthusiastically, "Don't miss it as you pass by! Our roasted sweet potatoes are so sweet, you'll question your whole life! One bite, fragrant and delicious. Two bites, warm and toasty. Three bites, and your worries are gone. They warm your stomach, your heart, and your little hands—come buy some, come have a taste!" Her voice was loud and energetic, standing out amid the noisy street.

The sweet potatoes in the stove sizzled with oil, their skins charred and fragrant. When broken open, their golden flesh released a sweet aroma.

People came and went along the street. Some carefully selected food before the stalls, while others ate as they walked, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food.

Laughter, haggling, and the scents of countless foods intertwined like a grand symphony, playing the beautiful melody of everyday life.

Suddenly, a crisp cry sounded from not far away. "Can-died haw-thorn skew-ers!" The sound was like dancing notes, instantly drawing the blue-haired girl's attention. Her eyes immediately lit up, as though she had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

Seeing the light in the girl's eyes, the boy beside her curled his lips into a gentle smile and said, "Come on, let's go try some."

The young man and young woman were Jun Lin and Ah Yin, out strolling and enjoying their final days in Nuoding City.

Further ahead, the vendor selling candied hawthorn skewers held up strings of bright red treats. He swung his arm broadly to display his goods while shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Come take a look! Sweet and sour candied hawthorn skewers, loved by adults and children alike! Bright red hawthorn berries wrapped in gleaming sugar coating—come have a taste!"

The crystal-clear sugar coating wrapped around the plump hawthorn berries, glimmering enticingly beneath the sunlight. When children saw the candied hawthorn skewers, their eyes lit up. They tugged at their parents' hands and refused to leave, as though the skewers were the most precious treasures in their hearts.

Jun Lin and Ah Yin walked up to the vendor selling candied hawthorn skewers. The strings of treats glimmered enticingly in the sunlight. Bright red hawthorn berries were wrapped in crystal-clear sugar coating, like dazzling red gems.

Ah Yin accepted a candied hawthorn skewer from Jun Lin. Her slender fingers complemented the brightly colored treat. She gently bit into a hawthorn berry, first feeling the crisp sugar coating crack with a "crunch" as sweetness instantly spread through her mouth. Then the tartness of the hawthorn gradually emerged, mingling with the sweetness to create a unique flavor. The sweet-and-sour taste spread across her tongue, as if performing a joyful dance upon her taste buds.

A brilliant smile bloomed on Ah Yin's face, as beautiful and moving as a flower blossoming in spring.

Jun Lin quietly watched Ah Yin, as though the entire world had become more beautiful in that moment.
