Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 104 Fulfillment

Outside, the north wind howled.

Inside, the lights were warm and the air was filled with steam, creating a cozy atmosphere.

The four of them ate dinner in silence.

When we were almost finished eating.

Grandma stood up, her face beaming, and said, "Feng, you and Ying keep eating. There's a night market tonight, and Ya and I are going to buy some things. We'll be sleeping at her aunt's house tonight and will be back tomorrow. After you finish eating, remember to help Ying clear the dishes."

As he spoke, he went and helped Aya up.

Aya blankly put down her chopsticks.

She seemed to be hearing for the first time that she had a cousin.

Two blushes immediately rose on Nightingale's cheeks, and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Luo Qingfeng put down his chopsticks and said, "Grandma, is there a night market? Perfect, let's go to the night market together and come back together. It's not good to stay at someone else's house."

Nightingale couldn't help but glance at him, as if to see if he was truly stupid or just pretending.

Grandma laughed and said, "No need, no need. If you want to go to the night market, you can go next time. Ah Ya and I are going to talk to her aunt. You guys continue eating, don't worry about us."

After saying that, he immediately pulled Aya out the door.

Luo Qingfeng watched the two figures walk away quickly through the gate, then turned back to look at the girl beside him.

Nightingale's pretty face flushed, and she glared at him, saying, "What are you looking at? Eat! Finish your food!"

Luo Qingfeng stared at her charming face for a few more moments before lowering his head to continue eating, quickly finishing all the food on the table.

The two of them cleaned up the dishes together.

Nightingale was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Luo Qingfeng was wiping tables and sweeping the floor in the main room.

After everything was tidied up, the two stood in the kitchen, looking at each other, both feeling somewhat awkward.

Nightingale raised an eyebrow and said, "Why aren't you going back yet?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I told Senior Bai that I won't be going back tonight."

Nightingale blushed and deliberately asked, "So where will you stay tonight? At the Ningguo Mansion, with those two little maids?"

Luo Qingfeng pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright."

"Go to hell!"

The nightingale swung its long legs and swept them towards him.

"Snapped!"

Luo Qingfeng shifted his body to the side, grabbed her slender ankle, and lifted her long leg upwards, saying, "Sister Nightingale, girls should be gentle."

The nightingale stood on one leg, glaring fiercely at him, and said, "Let go!"

Luo Qingfeng raised his hand even higher and said, "I won't let go unless Sister Nightingale apologizes."

Nightingale leaned slightly forward, one of her long legs almost raised above her head, her right hand unconsciously gripping the hilt of her knife, ready to draw it.

Luo Qingfeng looked at her, but showed no fear whatsoever.

Nightingale asked coldly, her pretty face expressionless, "Will you let go or not?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I won't let go."

He then grabbed her ankle, took a few steps closer to her, and lifted one of her legs directly above her head, so that her two long legs were in a straight line, making her a perfect standing split.

Nightingale stood firmly on one leg, her pretty face flushed, and said in embarrassment and annoyance, "You rascal! Let go!"

She didn't draw her sword; instead, she punched him in the chest with her small fist.

Luo Qingfeng, having taken a punch, said, "Sister Nightingale, don't be violent, let's talk about serious matters."

Nightingale clenched her fists and snapped, "Don't be violent! Put my leg down first!"

Luo Qingfeng stared at her blushing and charming face for a while before letting go of her long legs and saying, "You said I'd get the money tomorrow, should we rent a small courtyard?"

The nightingale turned around, walked to the stove, sat down, added firewood, and boiled water, scoffing, "That's your own business!"

Luo Qingfeng walked over and sat down next to her, saying, "I think even if we have the money, we shouldn't rent it out."

The nightingale turned to look at him.

Luo Qingfeng explained, "I'm not without a place to live right now. There's the library in the North Courtyard, the small courtyard in Ningguo Mansion, and... this place. I don't think it's necessary to waste money for now. Once we've saved enough, we can buy a house of our own. What do you think?"

When he said the first part, Nightingale's face turned slightly cold, but when she heard his second sentence, her pretty face flushed slightly, she snorted, and said nothing more.

Luo Qingfeng helped her add firewood and said, "Actually... I think living here is quite nice."

Nightingale paused, turned to look at him, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "No..."

Luo Qingfeng said, "I know it's not very convenient. We can't let Grandma and Aya go out and freeze every night."

The nightingale blushed and remained silent.

Actually, that's not the whole reason. After all, the two weren't married, and their families consisted mainly of women, so it wouldn't look good if word got out.

The firewood crackled and popped in the stove, and steam soon rose from the water in the pot.

The two remained silent for a while.

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Shall we wash up and go to sleep?"

The nightingale turned to look at him and asked, "Are you really going to sleep here tonight?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Otherwise what? If I leave, wouldn't I be letting down Grandma and Aya's good intentions?"

Nightingale glared at him and sneered, "Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "To be honest, I'm a little scared."

The nightingale chuckled, stopped adding firewood, got up to lift the pot lid, and said, "Alright, wash up and go to sleep. I'll eat you later!"

Luo Qingfeng immediately got up and went to get her a bowl, saying, "Please eat gently, Sister Nightingale, preferably in small bites, so I can watch you a little longer."

Nightingale smiled, ignored him, and took the hot water into the house.

After washing up, the two closed the door and silently entered the room one after the other.

Luo Qingfeng walked to the window and said worriedly, "It's so cold outside, it feels like it's about to snow. Where could Grandma and Aya have gone?"

Nightingale lit the oil lamp and said deliberately, "Didn't Grandma say to go to Aunt's place?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and asked, "Do you really have a cousin?"

The nightingale glanced out the window, then walked to the window and looked outside as well.

The north wind was howling outside, and it was freezing cold. The trees in the yard were all bare, and it looked like it was going to snow.

A hint of worry appeared between her brows.

Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about..."

Nightingale looked outside for a while longer, then turned to him and said, "How about we do it?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "How about we go find them and bring them back?"

Nightingale stared at him and asked, "The truth?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "It's too cold outside. Even we cultivators find it hard to stand. How can Grandma and Aya stand it? If they keep shopping, they might get sick tomorrow. As for staying at an inn, I don't think they'll go. Inns are crowded and noisy. Aya is afraid to go, and Grandma wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go."

Nightingale stared at him for a while, then suddenly moved closer to him, tiptoed, and gently kissed his lips, whispering, "Luo Qingfeng, you really are a good person. If it were any other man, he probably would have wished they would never come back."

Luo Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. He touched his lips, which still smelled of her lingering fragrance, and glanced at her pink lips again. He said, "Sister Nightingale, um... can I kiss you a few more times?"

Nightingale smiled sweetly, swayed her slender waist, and walked towards the door. Turning back at the door, she said with a charming smile, "I'll reward you again tomorrow after we receive the reward and I successfully transfer to another hospital."

Luo Qingfeng said, "It's a deal!"

The nightingale smiled and nodded, then went out the door.

Luo Qingfeng quickly followed him out.

The two left the courtyard and walked into the dark alley.

Nightingale took a few steps with her long legs, then suddenly turned around and kissed him on the cheek, her face full of smiles.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Didn't we say the reward would be given tomorrow?"

The nightingale smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood, so I want to reward you again. What, don't you want it?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "If you don't want it, here you go!"

After saying that, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her delicate face again.

Nightingale paused, then her cheeks flushed slightly. She snorted and said nothing more, but her steps became unusually light, and her ponytail swayed lightly.

The two left the alley and went straight to the night market.

After searching the night market for a while, Luo Qingfeng immediately spotted a familiar figure standing in the shadows of a nearby alley, lost in thought.

An old man was selling sugar figurines at the entrance of the alley.

The pretty little girl was staring blankly at the cute little sugar figurines.

Luo Qingfeng nudged Nightingale, who was searching around, with his shoulder.

Nightingale followed his gaze, her face lighting up with delight, and she quickly walked over.

When the two got closer, they found that in the alley, Grandma was sitting on the ground in the corner, dozing off. There was a tattered cloth on the ground, and Grandma was wrapped in a patched old cotton coat.

A breeze blew through the alley, causing the old man's body to tremble slightly.

Nightingale's face immediately filled with heartache, and she rushed over, her voice choked with emotion, "Grandma..."

The old man opened his eyes, looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared, and exclaimed in surprise, "You... why weren't you asleep?"

Luo Qingfeng felt guilty and quickly said, "Grandma, let's go home with Aya, it's cold outside."

Aya stared blankly at him.

The old man was reluctantly helped up by Nightingale, and explained with a smile, "I walked around with A-Ya for a while, and then I got tired, so I rested here for a bit. I plan to continue walking around later, and then go to her cousin's place..."

"Grandma, we don't have a cousin!"

Nightingale directly exposed her lie, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "He's not stupid. Next time, just say what you want to say directly. Don't make up excuses."

The old man was immediately embarrassed.

Luo Qingfeng was about to go and buy a sugar figurine for Aya when he suddenly remembered that he was penniless and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I'll buy it tomorrow, once I get the money!

The four of them returned home together.

Nightingale quickly went to the kitchen to fetch hot water so that her grandmother could wash up.

Luo Qingfeng then secretly spoke to Aya: "I didn't get the gold today, but I'll definitely get it tomorrow. I'll return it to you tomorrow."

Aya glanced at him but didn't react.

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: Even if there is no gold tomorrow, there will be silver. After all, the Ningguo Mansion's mission has been completed, and he has made a great contribution.

I'll definitely be able to pay off my debt tomorrow!

"Ah Feng, Ah Ying, do you have things to do tomorrow? Go to your rooms and get some sleep."

Seeing that the two of them were too embarrassed to go into the room, Grandma had no choice but to urge them on.

Then he said to Aya, "Aya, you should go to your room and go to sleep too."

After saying that, she went into the room first, making a loud noise when she locked the door to indicate that she would not come out again.

Aya glanced at the two of them and then went into her room.

Only the two of them remained in the main room.

"Let's go to sleep."

Nightingale deliberately acted naturally, went over, closed the door, and went into the room first.

Luo Qingfeng followed him inside and locked the door behind him.

The nightingale went over and closed the window, then blew out the oil lamp on the table.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

The two stood there for a while, and Luo Qingfeng said, "Why turn off the lights? I haven't taken off my clothes yet."

The nightingale said, "Do you need a lamp to take off your clothes? Can't you see?"

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again and said, "Yeah, I can't see you."

Nightingale raised her fist and said, "You're asking for it!"

The two stared at each other in the darkness for a while, then Luo Qingfeng suddenly said, "Sister Nightingale, shall I help you take off your clothes, shoes, and socks?"

Nightingale paused for a moment, then said, "Do you mainly want to take off your clothes, or your shoes and socks?"

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

The nightingale chuckled and said, "That's exactly what you want!"

After saying that, she immediately walked to the bedside, quickly took off her outer clothes, then her shoes and socks, and then climbed onto the bed, crawled into the innermost quilt, and laughed out loud.

Luo Qingfeng coughed, walked to the bedside, took off his clothes and shoes, and got into bed.

"Sister Nightingale..."

"what?"

"The blanket is so cold."

"and then?"

"Is it cold there, Nightingale?"

"Ice too?"

"Then I'll go and you can cover it up for me."

"It's not icy anymore."

"Oh, then can you help me cover up?"

"..."

Luo Qingfeng went straight over and crawled into her blanket.

The nightingale stiffened and stopped moving.

Luo Qingfeng buried his face in her soft, fragrant hair, and gently wrapped one arm around her slender waist.

The nightingale's chest heaved, her breathing became rapid, and her cheeks burned like fire.

The two lay on the bed, motionless.

A long time passed.

The nightingale asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I don't feel uncomfortable."

Nightingale said, "Oh...then move your leg away."

Luo Qingfeng denied it, saying, "My leg didn't touch you at all."

The nightingale fell silent.

It was quiet for a long time after that.

The nightingale suddenly said, "Shall I go sleep over there?"

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Why?"

The nightingale didn't answer; it simply got up and went to sleep on the other side.

Just as Luo Qingfeng was wondering what was going on, the girl's jade-like foot suddenly stretched out and placed on his leg.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Sister Nightingale, don't press down on me."

The nightingale did not speak.

At that moment, another young girl's jade-like foot stretched out and was placed on his lap.

Luo Qingfeng was speechless and didn't say anything more.

"Go to sleep."

"Um."

He closed his eyes and looked at the data in his mind.

[Progress: 95]

[Creation Heaven Five-Star Realm, Progress: 85]

This sight startled him, and his body trembled slightly.

Both rows of data have increased by such a large amount!

With one at 95 and the other at 85, he can quickly advance two more levels in a row!

Thinking of this, he suddenly moved a few times excitedly.

If I advance two more levels this time, there's a high chance I'll awaken my innate supernatural abilities.

Also, the red bead in the sea of ​​mansions should also reveal new techniques. As for his sword skills, I wonder if he will develop new abilities again.

He looked inward and gazed at the five stars and the red bead in the sea of ​​energy.

Let's give it a try.

He immediately activated the star power within his body and suddenly rammed it into the red bead. He rammed it several times, but the red bead did not react at all.

Try upgrading again!

At this moment, the energy and blood in his body were surging rapidly, converging towards one place.

He tried circulating his energy, and more energy began to gather below the sea of ​​qi.

Five stars, twinkling incessantly.

The energy and blood in his body flowed faster and faster, and his skin became increasingly hot.

Is it about to break through?

With this thought in mind, he saw the energy surging within his body, making him feel increasingly uncomfortable, and the five stars in the sea of ​​energy flickering incessantly. He immediately gritted his teeth, urged the gathered energy, and fiercely charged towards the pass below the sea of ​​energy!

Once! Twice! Three times!

He sprinted faster and faster, more and more fiercely!

at last!

After nearly a hundred fierce sprints!

"boom--"

The pass could no longer withstand the pressure and suddenly collapsed! And that fierce energy surged out like a flood bursting its banks!

My whole body suddenly felt a sense of exhilaration, as if it had been suppressed for a long time and then suddenly soared to the top of the clouds.

But strangely, he did not advance.

However, in the sea of ​​ceremonies, the five stars appeared even brighter and clearer, but next to the five stars, a faint point of light seemed to have appeared.

The sixth star has appeared!

He lay there, slowly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief, yet also a wave of exhaustion washing over him, his body feeling somewhat weak.

It seems that not only is the feeling of astral projection during cultivation wonderful, but the physical cultivation is also no less impressive.

It's estimated that he'll be able to advance once in a few days, and then advance a second time!

It was already late at night outside the window.

Luo Qingfeng closed his eyes, deciding to get a good night's sleep and continue cultivating after finishing his business tomorrow.

When he breaks through to the Seven Stars of Heavenly Creation realm, he really wants to see what expressions those people from the Southern Academy who rejected him have.

The new disciple competition should be starting soon; I wonder what the rewards will be.

If the reward is generous, he will naturally want to go on stage and give it a try.

Suddenly, Nightingale threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes and asked, "Sister Nightingale, where are you going?"

Nightingale snorted, said nothing, and left the room.

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: I've been so focused on cultivation that I'm probably neglecting Sister Nightingale, and she's probably angry. But I'm working hard to cultivate in order to protect them.

The sound of water could be heard outside, as if something was being washed.

Luo Qingfeng was exhausted and didn't think any further. He quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In his sleep, it seemed as if someone crawled into the blanket and hugged him.

Luo Qingfeng turned around and hugged her.
