Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

Hearing Ai Qing say that, Xiao Yu felt a little relieved. She took the lighter and brought it close to the fuse on the Gatling gun's rear, finally asking, "So, I'm really going to light it now?"

"Order."

With a snap, the lighter lit a small flame, instantly setting the Gatling gun's rear end ablaze.

As the fuse burned, it quickly extended into the Gatling gun, and no sparks were visible.

But several seconds passed and there was still no response.

Even the little fish standing to the side felt something was off and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is it bad... ah!"

He had only spoken halfway when the Gatling gun suddenly started firing with a series of "poof poof poof poof" sounds.

One after another, bursts of fire shot out like cannonballs, streaking across the night sky like shooting stars, before exploding above the small pond.

"Wow!"

As Xiaoyu watched the bullets fly one after another from Ai Qing's shoulder, her eyes lit up, and she stared intently at the scene before her.

After confirming that no one was near the small pond, Ai Qing slightly turned the Gatling gun on her shoulder.

Fireworks shot out from the shoulders, sometimes rising into the air, sometimes falling onto the water, or swaying back and forth, exploding into a colorful ribbon above the small pond.

Ai Qing's Gatling gun fired for a good minute or two before finally finishing.

Little Fish, who was standing nearby, was already getting impatient. She grabbed Ai Qing's arm and shook it, saying, "Let me try it too, let me try it too."

"Don't worry, you'll get yours. There's still one left unused." Ai Qing smiled and put the used one aside, picked up the other unused one from the ground, and helped Xiao Yu put it on her shoulder.

"Look carefully, this is the muzzle, and the back is the butt. Just aim it over there like this, and don't move."

As she spoke, Ai Qing helped Xiao Yu adjust her posture, then picked up a lighter and stood behind her. "Are you ready?"

Xiaoyu was still a little nervous. When she heard Ai Qing ask her, she immediately took several deep breaths and nodded vigorously: "I'm ready, brother, come on!"

"Okay, I'll light it. Aim at the small pond and don't move around." Ai Qing said as she lit the lighter and quickly approached the fuse. "This thing can't be pointed at other people, it's dangerous, so it can only be pointed at the small pond where there are no people."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the fuse hissed as it approached the Gatling gun's rear end.

Soon, the sound of firing began.

The little fish, with a Gatling gun strapped to its shoulder, unleashed a fierce barrage of fire at the small pond.

Small fireworks kept exploding in the distance, making Xiaoyu very happy.

But she remembered Ai Qing's instructions, so she didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting others.

After standing there admiring the Gatling gun for two minutes, Xiaoyu noticed that it had run out of bullets and stopped firing, and he felt a little unsatisfied.

However, Ai Qing didn't buy many; once these two were gone, they were all gone.

So, with each of them holding a Gatling gun that had been fired, Ai Qing, holding Xiao Yu's hand, strolled back to their own yard.

"I haven't played with the sparklers yet."

As Ai Qing said this, she took out a bundle of sparklers from the bag, pulled out two of them, and handed one to Xiao Yu.

"This is so thin! How do you play with it?" Little Fish asked curiously, looking at the fairy wand in her hand.

"This is quite simple. Just hold the bottom part in your hand and then light the top with a lighter."

As Ai Qing said this, she brought the lighter close to the fairy wand in Xiao Yu's hand, and lit it with a flick of the lighter.

Then he immediately lit his own sparkler, and a burst of sparks appeared in both of their hands.

"Wow!" When Little Fish first saw the sparks, she almost let go.

But seeing that Ai Qing wasn't afraid at all, Xiao Yu felt a little relieved. After discovering that the sparks had no power at all, she began to admire the sparkler up close.

"Look, like this, you can even write words in the air." Ai Qing quickly waved her sparkler and wrote the words "little fish" in the air.

Although she could barely read what she had written halfway through, Xiaoyu could still recognize what Ai Qing had written.

Her eyes lit up; she found the fairy wand to be really fun.

Unfortunately, one lighter didn't last long enough. Little Fish couldn't wait and grabbed a second, then a third, and finally just snatched the lighter from Ai Qing's hand.

Ai Qing didn't care and took many photos and videos of Xiaoyu with her phone.

But when he took out another sparkler and saw that Xiaoyu was lighting the one in her hand, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and tried to circulate the warm current in his body.

Since the two of them condensed the liquid warm current, accumulating the warm current has never been a problem, and they basically have more than enough to use.

By now, thanks to the couple's almost daily diligence, the warm current within Ai Qing's body has grown to about the size of a small fist.

Just then, Ai Qing circulated the warm current, running it down her arm to her fingers, and rubbed the head of the fairy wand.

The next second—

With a hissing sound.

The magic wand in Ai Qing's hand was lit up.

Holy crap!

Ai Qing almost threw the fairy wand in her hand, but she quickly pulled her right hand back, her face showing a look of disbelief.

"Huh?" Xiaoyu also noticed the strange thing. She looked down at the lighter in her hand, then at the lit sparkler in Ai Qing's hand, and asked curiously, "Brother, when did you bring a lighter again?"

"Where would I get a lighter..." Ai Qing muttered to herself, staring blankly at the spark in front of her, her eyes still somewhat dazed, as if she couldn't quite believe her eyes.

The sparks before our eyes shimmered with ordinary light, but the meaning they represented was extraordinary.

He glanced at Xiaoyu beside him, reached out and took the lighter from her hand, then stuffed it directly into his pocket.

After the sparklers in their hands went out, he immediately put two more on.

"Brother, can you order for me?"

Little Fish, unaware of what was happening, handed the fairy wand in her hand towards Ai Qing.

But Ai Qing shook her head, pinching the head of her fairy wand with her hand, and said to Xiao Yu, "Look carefully."

After saying that, Ai Qing simply rubbed her two fingers together, and the magic wand in front of her was instantly ignited.

"Wow!"

The little fish stared wide-eyed, then looked down at the fairy wand in its hand, tried to rub it, but didn't see it light up like Ai Qing's.

"Huh? Why can't I do it?"

"Because I used a warm current." Ai Qing looked at the sparkler in her hand, swallowed hard, and confirmed that she hadn't been hallucinating, but had actually used a warm current to light the sparkler...

Ai Qing sensed it briefly and realized that each ignition had used up about one-tenth of her liquid warm current.

Looking at it this way, the consumption is quite high.

For the two who had just condensed the liquid warm current, the temperature they could barely reach to ignite the sparkler was already quite a challenge.

Not to mention the time before the warm current had condensed into a liquid state.

The little fish next to it also opened its mouth wide, never expecting that warm currents could be used in this way.

However, after hearing what Ai Qing said, Xiao Yu immediately tried it out, channeling the warm current along her arm to her fingertips, and then pinching the fairy wand.

With a hissing sound.

Little Fish felt the warm liquid inside her body lessen, and sure enough, the fairy wand in front of her lit up.

After seeing that Xiaoyu had also succeeded in the experiment, Ai Qing stared at the fairy wands in the hands of the two of them and fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Ai Qing finally came to her senses. Looking at the courtyard, now dark again, she looked at the little fish beside her and said:

"I'm wondering if there's a possibility."

"What's possible?" Little Fish asked curiously.

“Previously, we only discovered that the warm current could enhance parts of our body, thus creating a certain strengthening effect.” Ai Qing pondered for a moment before revealing her thoughts.

"At that time, this was all we could do, perhaps simply because the quantity and quality of the warm currents were not enough."

"Once we have more and higher quality warm currents in our bodies, their effects may go far beyond this."

Thinking about this, Ai Qing's feelings gradually changed from astonishment and surprise to delight and anticipation.

What the hell!

Could this really be cultivation of immortality?

What does this mean?

Ignition?

He just tried it out randomly, and surprisingly, he was able to light the sparkler.

Thinking of this, Ai Qing became overjoyed and couldn't wait to take Xiao Yu back to bed to continue their dual cultivation, filling her entire body with the warm liquid as soon as possible.

But he was just thinking about it.

After all, there's plenty of time, and there's no need to rush things.

On the contrary, Little Fish, being a cat, didn't have so many thoughts.

After all, in less than a year, she had seen too many novel things, and the ability to ignite a sparkler with a warm current seemed insignificant to her.

After all, what can be accomplished with a lighter requires a tenth of the current amount of warm current to achieve.

It sounds like it's a useless thing.

"Ai Qing, Little Fish!"

Just then, Yao Qiang walked to the entrance between the living room and the yard and called out to the two people in the yard, "Come back inside when you've had enough of the fireworks. We're short of people to play mahjong."

"They're here, they're here."

After Ai Qing came to her senses, she responded towards the living room, looked at Xiao Yu beside her, and whispered in her ear, "Try not to reveal anything related to the warm current to others. This matter can only be known by the two of us, understand?"

"Mmm!" Little Fish nodded vigorously. "This is a little secret between me and my brother!"

“That’s right, it’s our little secret.” Ai Qing nodded with satisfaction, then patted Xiao Yu’s head and said with a smile, “Let’s go, let’s stop with the fireworks for now, then I’ll take you to play mahjong.”

"Okay, okay." Little Fish obediently followed Ai Qing back to the living room and asked curiously, "How do you play mahjong?"

"I'll teach you step by step in a moment, don't rush."

After the two entered the living room, they saw the electric mahjong table that had just been moved out of the storage room.

Ai Zhongguo pulled off the dusty cloth, revealing the machine inside.
