Chapter 344 First Snow
Force didn't make Hong Shun back down, but money did make him kneel down in submission.
Shen Yao emerged victorious and flew down to the spectator area, looking smug: "I won."
Xianyu was proud: "Yaoyao is amazing!"
Feng Yu's eyes were strange, revealing a sense of pride that her daughter had grown up.
He had a faint smile on his face and a gentle gaze.
The feelings of being an old father are growing stronger.
Jiang Ming's love was undisguised and overflowed: "Yao Yao is so arrogant, I'm afraid after today, rumors will spread that your husband is being kept by a sugar daddy."
Shen Yao gave Jiang Ming a smug look, then walked to Feng Yu's side, took his hand and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, like you're looking at a child?"
Feng Yu responded softly, "I'm proud of you."
Jiang Ming still had to clean up the pile of perfect stones all over the square, and today's events would spread like wildfire throughout the sect, so he had to stay behind to finish up the mess.
There are also many official matters to be handled.
Another day of leisurely cultivation, another day of envying Feng Yu.
Hong Shun had become a huge fan of Shen Yao. Seeing that she was about to leave, he respectfully escorted her to the door of the gate: "Take care, elder sister."
Shen Yao led Feng Yu and Jiang Ming away to say goodbye, then asked Hong Shun, "Do you still have a problem with me having women on both sides?"
Hong Shun glanced at Jiang Ming, his expression completely changed: "How dare I? Whoever my eldest sister takes a liking to is a blessing."
It's Jiang, the leader of the True God Sect, who has taken a liking to them. That's Jiang's good fortune.
See? In the face of absolute power, any rule can be broken.
All rules and regulations are designed to restrict the weak.
As long as the strong do not bring disaster to the world, they will be admired no matter what they do.
Shen Yao went back to accompany Tu Xiaoxiao as promised. Tu Xiaoxiao no longer hid his wishes and asked for fair treatment.
The demands are reasonable.
Shen Yao had thought about this issue beforehand, so she made the decision directly.
A month has thirty-six days. I spend ten days with Feng Yu, ten days with Tu Xiaoxiao, and sixteen days with Jiang Ming.
Why did Jiang Ming stay for six days?
Because Shi Bao gets six days off every month.
Tu Xiaoxiao's prediction was correct. Just based on the child, Jiang Ming had an advantage over him and Feng Yu.
The hammock in the pavilion swayed back and forth, and Tu Xiaoxiao's fox tail patted her shoulder casually: "In ten days it will be New Year's Day, Yao Yao, where do you want to go for it?"
As the stream flowed gently, Shen Yao scattered fish food into the water, and the small fish swarmed up, their tails creating ripples.
Shen Yao touched the water with her finger, and the little fish swam away quickly: "I want to go to Jiaoluo City to play, but Jiaoluo City is too far away, and I definitely won't have time."
Tu Xiaoxiao estimated the distance: "Jiaoluo City is at the southernmost point of the coastline, so it's really too late."
"The nearest city, Demon Shark City, is only five days away. Would Yao Yao like to go?"
Demon City is a city that has been newly built in recent years along the southeast coast.
It is said to be a branch of the deep-sea merfolk that came ashore and built the city, and most of the residents are merfolk.
Shen Yao had heard of the Demon Shark and the Monster Shark, but had never seen them in person. When Tu Xiaoxiao mentioned them, she readily agreed: "Let's go to Monster Shark City for the New Year. We'll take Shi Bao with us."
To have enough time for their journey, they planned to set off in three days.
The next morning, Shen Yao returned to Chongcheng to discuss with Jiang Ming that she wanted to take Shi Bao to the Demon Shark City to celebrate the New Year.
It was called a discussion, but it was actually a notification: "Since you're busy anyway, I'll take Shi Bao to the Demon Shark City for the New Year this year."
Jiang Ming asked her, "You and Shi Bao, and who else?"
Shen Yao answered fluently: "Xianyu, Yunhe, Xiaoxiao, Ameng, and Aluo will all go."
Jiang Ming took her hand: "Let's go to the sword practice area first."
Three days later, they were going to the Demon Shark City, and Jiang Ming was still thinking of taking Shen Yao to practice swordsmanship. The competition was fierce.
“During yesterday’s duel, you and Hong Shun exchanged twenty-eight moves, and in three of those moves, you didn’t use your swordsmanship correctly.”
"Correct it by today, or you're not allowed to go to the Demon Shark City."
Jiang Ming's teaching style was very strict, but Shen Yao was happy to cooperate.
She realized she was using the wrong technique when she made her move yesterday, but the move had already been executed.
A mistake is a mistake, and a mistake must be corrected.
She practiced with the knife, each move clean and precise.
There was no wind within the immortal city, yet her attacks were accompanied by the force of a gust of wind.
They practiced their moves one after another, from the intervals between sunrise and sunset until moonrise...
The sword rises with the wind, its momentum like a rainbow, cleaving through clouds and mist, chasing the light of the sky.
The setting sun casts a slanting shadow on the cold, sharp blade; its tall form gleams swiftly against the moon and frost.
The bright moonlight bathed the training ground. Shen Yao sheathed her sword under the moonlight and said, "Master Jiang, I haven't made a single mistake since this afternoon. How is it? Do I pass?"
Jiang Ming couldn't help but chuckle. "Jiang Banshi... what kind of title is that?"
He approached her in the moonlight, gently rubbing her wrist: "Call me husband."
Shen Yao got cheeky: "Half-Master Jiang, Half-Master Jiang, half-master, half-master, half-master..."
It looks like a fortune teller.
She imagined Jiang Ming wearing sunglasses meant for the blind...
Black clothes, cold face, black sunglasses...
"What are you laughing at again?" Jiang Mingzhen wanted to crawl into her mind to see what she was thinking every time she let out a smirk.
The moonlight is cool and clear, but my love is warm.
Seeing the warmth in her eyes, Jiang Ming felt the time was ripe.
His plan, which he had been preparing for many years, could be put into action tonight.
"Shen Yao".
He called her by her full name.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Shen Yao was slightly surprised. Since they got together, he had never called her by her surname.
Jiang Ming formed a hand seal with one hand, and a bone-chilling cold gathered from all directions.
The chill intensified, and his hands, which were forming hand seals, were covered in frost.
Frost flowed continuously into the seal through his right hand.
The frost-like marks kept getting thicker and thicker...
Shen Yao stared intently at the frost mark on his hand, completely unguarded and trusting him implicitly.
Jiang Ming was very pleased.
He exerted his strength to send the frost mark soaring into the sky, where it rapidly expanded, instantly covering the entire training ground.
Hexagonal frost fell one after another, and fine white down settled on the ground.
It's snow.
Shen Yao reached out and caught the white fluff; the delicate frost flowers melted in her palm.
It really is snow.
"Jiang Yanchen!" She threw herself into Jiang Ming's arms: "How did you know it was snowing? You can actually make it snow!"
Jiang Ming took out a cloak from his storage ring, draped it over her shoulders, and hugged her back: "When you were still in the Dihe Secret Realm, I went to Nanyuchuan to see the snow."
He circulated his fire elemental power, tightly embracing Shen Yao, his body burning hot: "I originally wanted to wait until you came out of the secret realm to show you, but I didn't expect to wait for eight years."
More than ten years ago, after hearing Shen Yao describe snow in Shizhu, he remembered it.
Eight years ago, he made a special trip to Nanyuchuan to see the real snow scene and learn how to create snow using ice spirit power.
The endless snowfall is incredibly romantic.
Shen Yao is not a saint; she cannot remain unmoved.
She hadn't seen snow for at least twenty-six years.
The snow is beautiful, but in her previous life, before she turned twenty, she was afraid of snow.
Because they don't have enough to eat or wear, they get frostbite all over their bodies in winter.
After turning twenty, having escaped the hellish purgatory of decay, and now with enough to eat and wear, and even heating in the company dormitory, she finally learned to appreciate the snowscape.
Unfortunately, he didn't get to enjoy it for more than a few years before he died suddenly and transmigrated to the world of cultivation.
A constant-temperature world on a continent without spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
She thought she would never see snow again.
But Jiang Ming went to Nanyuchuan on a special trip and brought snow for her when he came back.
Nanyuchuan, according to legend, is located at the southernmost part of the Demon Sea. It is a mysterious island, devoid of life and entirely composed of glaciers.
Nanyuchuan has no exact location and is extremely difficult to find.
Hundreds of years ago, explorers would travel together to Nanyuchuan.
After the upheaval in the Demon Sea, all the cultivators who entered the Demon Sea never returned, and no one went to search for the legendary island anymore.
The Demon Sea…
Shen Yao pulled her cloak around Jiang Ming's waist: "The Demon Sea is now a forbidden area, how did you get to Nanyuchuan?"
It must be extremely dangerous.
Just so she could come back and I could see the snow fall for her...
