Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 35 The Kung Fu in the Jade Pendant

It was evening.

Ping'er came to the courtyard alone, bringing dinner and a bowl of meat soup.

"Miss is still busy in the shop."

She offered an explanation.

Luo Qingfeng nodded, sat down in the courtyard, held a book in his hand, and ate his meal slowly while reading.

He hadn't finished eating by the time it was almost dark.

Ping'er finally grew impatient and said, "Young Master, I have something to attend to. If you've finished eating, just leave the food here and I'll come back for it later."

Luo Qingfeng flipped through the book and said, "You go ahead and get busy. I'll bring it over myself after I finish eating."

Ping'er didn't say anything more and quickly left.

There were only three maids in the house.

Dong'er was helping out at the shop, leaving only her and Xiao Huan at home. She had to do laundry, cook, sweep, and all sorts of housework, so she didn't have time to wait there all the time.

After she left.

After finishing his meal, Luo Qingfeng poured the meat broth directly into the corner of the wall.

Then he carried the things to the kitchen.

At this point, there was no one left in the kitchen, but the food was still warm in the pot.

After leaving the kitchen, Luo Qingfeng returned to the courtyard.

Night had already fallen.

He locked the gate, walked to the tree, picked up some withered leaves and a few thin twigs, and casually scattered them on the path leading to the window.

Some water also spilled outside the window.

After returning to his room, he locked the door and windows.

After waiting for a long time.

As night deepened outside, he drew back the curtains, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to cultivate the "Crimson Thorn" technique.

Strictly speaking, this technique belongs to the internal energy cultivation method. It requires mobilizing the internal stellar energy and blood to merge, and then establishing a connection with the external blood. By gathering the body's energy in some external blood, it can obtain a powerful burst of energy.

Whether it's fists, palms, fingers, legs, or feet, or various magical artifacts, as long as they can release star power, they can all be used in combination.

However, Luo Qingfeng still had some doubts.

Fighting with one's own blood is usually associated with all sorts of unorthodox and evil techniques, right? Besides blood loss, wouldn't there be other injuries?

Although I'm worried, all I can do now is focus on training.

After all, he had no other martial arts techniques to practice besides that set of fist techniques.

At worst, we can try it out first. If the damage is too great, we can just stop using it.

Without further hesitation, he closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to cultivate.

Within the Dan Sea, a stream of air meandered upwards.

Immediately, three stars lit up, and streams of pure star power flowed out.

At the same time, the blood in the whole body begins to flow rapidly.

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, a clear bird song came from outside the window.

Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes and found that his whole body was bright red, with bulging veins on his arms, and he could even see the blood flowing inside.

After finishing the exercise, the blood vessels gradually returned to normal, and the blood that had been flowing rapidly throughout the body gradually calmed down.

He continued his spiritual practice at home during the day.

Without a large amount of meat to replenish his energy, he also lacked the strength to go out and practice boxing.

In the evening, Song Wan'er and Ping'er brought dinner.

Luo Qingfeng was reading aloud in his room, looking completely absorbed. He looked out the window and said, "Wan'er, just put the food there. I'll eat after I finish memorizing this article."

Song Wan'er originally wanted to go inside and talk to him for a while, but seeing how serious he was, she could only watch him from outside the window for a while before leaving.

Luo Qingfeng sat in the room for a while longer, then went out to eat dinner and poured out the soup in his bowl.

He personally delivered the items back to the kitchen.

After returning.

He locked the gate, then gathered leaves and branches, scattering them on the road and in front of the window.

It was late at night.

He lit an oil lamp and continued reading at the table.

Around midnight, I suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the courtyard.

It sounded like withered leaves.

He continued reading with his head down, looking like he was studying diligently late into the night.

at the same time.

A dark figure appeared in the corridor outside the window at some point, stood silently to the side for a while, and then left.

Luo Qingfeng read for another half an hour before looking up at the window.

Around four in the morning.

He blew out the oil lamp, returned to his bed, but instead of sleeping, he continued his cultivation.

Soon, the night outside the window faded away.

As the first rays of dawn shone through the window, he opened his eyes, his mind racing as he looked at the data in his mind.

[Progression complete: 100, eligible for advancement]

[Creating Heaven Three Stars Realm, Progress: Two]

Sure enough, I can advance again!

However, the data in the second row seems to be slowing down.

Of course, this is relative to the previous process speed.

He naturally knew that the progress would slow down and require more time to cultivate as he progressed, but compared to other cultivators, he was already incredibly advanced.

He did not advance immediately.

At this time, someone might come to the courtyard.

I was extremely tired after practicing "Crimson Thorn" yesterday, and I didn't dare to sleep last night. I'm really sleepy now.

Seeing that the sun had already risen outside, he felt relieved, lay down on the bed, and started to catch up on sleep.

I quickly fell asleep.

Sleeping during the day is especially relaxing.

I slept until the afternoon.

When I woke up, my stomach was growling with hunger.

He immediately got up, quickly washed up, and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen left him some steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

After finishing his meal, he stayed in the kitchen for a little while before returning to his courtyard.

Back in his room, he continued practicing the "Crimson Thorn" technique.

When evening came, he sat down at his desk to read again.

It was getting dark.

Song Wan'er carried the food into the courtyard alone. Seeing that he was still reading, she went straight into the main room and called out softly, "Cousin, it's time to eat."

Luo Qingfeng looked towards the door, paused for a moment, then closed the book and left the room.

I ate this afternoon, so I'm not hungry yet.

He glanced at the food and soup on the table, then looked at the girl in front of him.

Song Wan'er wore a pink dress, her long black hair cascading down her back. Her delicate face was unadorned, without any makeup or ornaments on her head or hands. Yet, this only accentuated her natural beauty and charm.

"Ping'er said that my cousin didn't eat breakfast this morning. There were only a few steamed buns left in the kitchen. My cousin studies hard, and he can't just eat like that."

Song Wan'er spoke softly, already picking up his chopsticks for him.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then, under her gentle gaze, took the chopsticks and sat down at the table.

Song Wan'er sat down beside him, her legs together, her hands clutching the hem of her dress on her lap. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently as she looked at him with a demure, girlish air, and said softly, "Cousin, you've been studying so diligently lately, is it for next year's imperial examination?"

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and ate his meal, saying, "Of course, scholars study hard for years, isn't it all for that day?"

Song Wan'er stared at his handsome face, gently bit her pink lips, and said, "Cousin, I overheard Father and Mother discussing at the shop today that they want to find you another match. They've already chosen someone."

Luo Qingfeng paused, turned to look at her, and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Song Wan'er nodded slightly, and said somewhat sullenly, "She's the daughter of the wealthy Zhang family in town. She has business dealings with our shop, and the Zhang family has a good relationship with my father, so..."

Luo Qingfeng frowned, picked up some food, and said, "I don't want to get married yet."

Song Wan'er looked at him and said, "I've met that girl before. She's quite pretty and has a good personality. If you meet her, cousin, you'll definitely like her."

Luo Qingfeng's eyelids twitched slightly, but he continued eating with his head down, saying, "I don't like it."

"I haven't even seen my cousin yet."

Song Wan'er stared at him intently.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then looked up at her, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't.

He continued eating with his head down, looking preoccupied, and said, "There's no need to see him. I wouldn't like him anyway."

Song Wan'er's eyes sparkled as she looked at him for a while, then she said softly, "Cousin, what about the other girls? There are other pretty girls in town."

Luo Qingfeng shook his head, looked down at the rice in his bowl, and didn't say anything.

Song Wan'er asked softly again, "Is it because of Sister Zhao'er?"

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "No."

"Why is that?"

Song Wan'er looked at him with eyes as clear as water.

Luo Qingfeng did not speak again.

Song Wan'er stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, picked up the meat soup on the table and said, "Cousin, you study so hard, you should nourish yourself."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and naturally took the food from his hand, saying, "Thank you."

Then, with his head down, he slowly began to drink.

Song Wan'er suddenly asked, "Cousin, may I go to your room to read for a while?"

Luo Qingfeng paused, put down the soup in his hand, glanced at her again, and said, "It's getting dark. If my uncle and aunt find out..."

Song Wan'er smiled gently and said, "Cousin, we're family, there's no need for such taboos. Even if Father and Mother knew, they wouldn't say anything."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "Alright then."

Song Wan'er smiled happily and stood up, saying, "Thank you, cousin."

With that, he went to his room.

She took off her shoes at the door, revealing a pair of slender feet clad in white socks beneath her skirt.

Just before entering, she turned back, gave him a shy smile, and said softly, "Cousin, you should come in quickly too."

After saying that, she gracefully entered the room.

At this moment, Luo Qingfeng suddenly felt a burning heat rising in his abdomen, like a ball of fire.

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the soup on the table.
