Chapter 49 Giving Gifts
Before she knew it, Jian Ning had mastered three spells, and a day had passed.
The night is dark.
According to the system's three-day timeframe, it should expire tomorrow morning.
Time is tight.
After careful consideration, Jian Ning wondered what she most wanted to learn.
"Flying on a sword!"
Yes, that's what she most wants to learn.
Su Yufeng chuckled: "You haven't even learned to walk yet, but you're already thinking about running?"
He rarely smiled, and Jian Ning didn't react at first.
After a moment of hesitation, she asked in return, "Is it not allowed?"
"How can a little thing like you, whose Qi Refining stage is not even stable, control a sword?"
Jian Ning lowered her eyes in disappointment: "Okay, then I'll learn it when I'm better at it later."
Two seconds later, Jian Ning looked up again: "Teacher Su, could you fly on a sword and give me a ride?"
This request shouldn't be too much to ask, right?
“Okay.” Su Yufeng casually straightened his sleeves, and a sharp sword suddenly appeared in the air. He lifted his foot and stepped onto it.
Like a thief, Jian Ning reminded him, "We have to be quiet."
Su Yufeng nodded: "I know. I will not be discovered by anyone after casting the invisibility spell."
Jian Ning then lifted her foot to stand on it, but her body swayed and she almost fell.
Su Yufeng stretched out an arm, which Jian Ning grabbed to steady herself, and then refused to let go no matter what.
She smiled and said, "Teacher Su, we can set off now."
"call out!"
The sword swiftly pierced the night, rising rapidly like a drop tower.
Jian Ning felt the wind whistling past her ears, and the scene beneath her gradually shrank. All the prosperity of the North City was at her feet, and the dim streetlights, one after another, eventually converged into a warm yellow light.
The moon is so round tonight, it seems so close, almost within reach.
"Where do you want to go?"
The only answer that popped into Jian Ning's mind was: "I want to go back and see my grandma."
Just like every year before the Lunar New Year, the only destination when buying train tickets is the place where my grandparents live.
As she flew on her sword, the places she could subconsciously recall remained the same.
Su Yufeng lightly tapped her forehead with his finger, and then a talisman flew forward, glowing in the darkness, like a guide leading people home.
Less than ten minutes later, the two stopped in front of a window.
At this time, Jian Ning thought her grandmother should be asleep, but she was still sitting on the balcony, sewing insoles.
My uncle came over and urged, "Mom, it's so late, you should go to sleep."
The old lady was very stubborn. "I'm not sleepy yet. Old people don't need much sleep. I'll go to sleep after I finish sewing these insoles."
Her uncle threatened her: "If you don't listen to me, I'll tell Ningning."
The old lady immediately reached out and slapped his arm hard, warning him, "Don't say that. It's not easy for Ningning to live alone in a big city like Beicheng. Let's not cause her any trouble."
"Alright, alright, then go to bed early after you're done." Her uncle couldn't persuade her, so he turned around and went back to his room with a sigh.
"He's even more talkative than your dad."
The old lady muttered a sentence to herself with disdain.
Jian Ning felt a lump in her throat; the insoles in her grandmother's hands were clearly made for her.
From childhood to adulthood, my grandparents didn't have much money. Sometimes it would take them several years to buy me a new pair of shoes, and they would always buy them a size too big so that I could wear them for a longer time.
Shoes that have been worn for a long time and the insoles are washed too often will easily wear out.
Grandma would make her several pairs of insoles so she could wear them in rotation.
Even now, she still receives insoles made by her grandmother every year when she comes back. It's just that now she has more shoes than she can wear, and she often puts those colorful insoles at the bottom of the wardrobe, never having a chance to wear them.
Once she has improved the resort further, she will definitely bring Grandma to live there.
The old lady's eyes were tired from sewing shoes. She looked up, closed her eyes for a moment, and then opened them again. In a daze, she seemed to see Ningning outside the window.
She blinked again, and there was nothing left.
She shook her head. "I'm getting senile. I thought Ningning had come back."
Jian Ning wiped away the glistening tears from the corners of her eyes.
Su Yufeng asked, "Shall I take you inside?"
"No," Jian Ning stopped her.
Su Yufeng asked, puzzled, "Why? I can tell your grandma misses you a lot."
Jian Ning explained, "My sudden appearance would be no different from a ghost, and it would scare her, especially since she already has a heart condition."
The two of them stood quietly outside the window watching until the old lady turned off the light and went to sleep.
Jian Ning patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go home."
A fleeting emotion crossed Su Yufeng's eyes, and he responded with a soft "Mm".
He flew away on his sword.
A bright, round moon hangs high in the sky.
Before we knew it, three days of beast taming skill instruction had passed in the blink of an eye.
Jian Ning has mastered about 80% of the Beast Taming skills. As the master of the master-servant contract, she can even connect with the little white cat and the little Border Collie's vision at any time and see the world through their eyes.
A contracted spirit pet can also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, just like her.
Little White became the king of cats in the entire mountain village, and all the stray cats obeyed its commands.
With these mobile electronic surveillance cameras, the entire resort is now much safer.
These past few days, Su Yufeng has not only become obsessed with watching TV, but also with reading novels.
On this final day, as they were about to part ways, Jian Ning took out the gift she had secretly prepared.
The phone and several power banks were carefully packed in a gift box.
In the past few days, she has explained most of the functions on her phone to Su Yufeng, and sometimes Su Yufeng will even use her phone.
Jian Ning said, "You have your favorite Journey to the West on your phone, as well as many other downloaded TV series and novels. Your power bank should last you for a few months. If it really runs out of power, you'll have to figure out what to do yourself."
"I also have a gift for you." Su Yufeng held several packets wrapped in oil paper in his hand. "These are seeds of spiritual herbs from the cultivation world. You have innate talent for alchemy, so I'm giving them to you. They have miraculous effects on people with heart problems."
Jian Ning had just told him yesterday that her grandmother had a heart condition, so he gave her seeds of a medicinal herb for that purpose.
Jian Ning was deeply moved.
"Thank you, teacher."
"And another one." Su Yufeng suddenly produced another sword in his hand. "This Qingfeng Blade has been with me for over a hundred years, and I'm giving it to you as well."
Jian Ning reached out and took the sword. It was heavy, and touching the blade, she could clearly feel its icy chill. The blade was sharp and had a natural edge, the body gleaming, and a black lotus pattern was engraved on the hilt.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Oh, right, there's one more." Su Yufeng waved his hand, and a pill-refining furnace appeared out of thin air on the living room floor.
Jian Ning was utterly shocked, her face showing embarrassment: "Teacher, I..."
I'm afraid it's not a good idea to store it there.
Who puts an alchemy furnace like this in the living room?
"Fine then." Su Yufeng waved his hand.
Jian Ning watched as the alchemy furnace disappeared into thin air again, assuming he had taken it back. But then she saw a ring appear in his hand out of thin air.
"This Qiankun Ring is a gift for you. There are some odds and ends and some medicinal herb seeds inside. Take a look and keep what you need and throw away what you don't. The storage space isn't large, but the size of your house should be enough for your daily use."
