The next morning after breakfast, Qilinma called Qin Qi to go out for a race, while Xue Nu, Jing Ni, and Xiao Meng stayed at home.

The three of them sat together.

"Why do I feel like Sister Xue Nu's gaze towards Mr. Qin Qi has changed?"

Jingni keenly noticed that something was amiss; the way Xue Nu looked at Qin Qi during dinner was different from before.

"Yes, yes, it's always been like this."

The Snow Woman smoothed her hair, then turned to look at the courtyard and spoke.

"It seems like nothing has changed. The two of them were acting strangely before, and they're still acting strangely now."

Xiaomeng also noticed that Xue Nu's gaze towards Qin Qi was strange, but it had been like this before. Strange things eventually become normal after a while.

"No, it's different now. Before, it was an indescribable feeling, but now it's become even stranger."

"Moreover, Xue Nu's behavior during dinner today was also unusual. She looked at Mr. Qin Qi twenty-five more times than usual."

"I spent much longer talking with Mr. Qin Qi than before, and the two of them made thirty-five more small gestures than yesterday!"

"The Snow Woman also laughed 52 more times than yesterday! Most importantly, the way the Snow Woman walks has changed slightly from yesterday!"

Jing Ni immediately pointed out the problem: the number and duration of the various interactions between Xue Nu and Qin Qi that day were not accurately recorded.

"Little Fish, you're making me a little scared!"

The Snow Maiden noticed that Jing Ni was sweating profusely. She herself hadn't even noticed the change in herself, but Jing Ni had so accurately spotted it.

Could it be that what happened last night is about to be exposed?! Although it's not something shameful to say, she's not ready for it!

"Would a normal person do this? Have I been in the mountains for too long, and that's why I've become abnormal?"

Xiaomeng began to wonder if she had been in the mountains for too long, wondering why the people outside the mountains had become like this.

"Yes, sorry, it's a habit."

Jing Ni is an assassin, but when she kills, she doesn't just rush in with her sword and mow down enemies with unparalleled skill.

She still needed to investigate and observe; every small move or change by the enemy was extremely important.

Over time, she got used to observing others, and her observation skills became very sharp.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the city later and buy Xiaomeng some new clothes."

"She's so cute, she'll definitely look even prettier and cuter in her new red dress."

The Snow Woman started to change the subject, and Jingni and Xiaomeng immediately followed suit. Gradually, everyone forgot about the Snow Woman's previous changes.

When they went into the city, the Snow Woman even paid attention to her walking posture, but she didn't notice any changes.

She touched her stomach; although it still felt slightly tingly, it didn't hurt anymore.

It shouldn't affect her walking. How did Jing Ni figure it out?

..............................................................................

In the distance, Qin Qi and the Qilin horse were still racing, neither of them having a fixed direction, they just kept running.

"Have you been secretly competing against each other again? Your speed has increased so much again!"

Qin Qi looked at the Qilin horse and thought to himself that this cunning fellow must be constantly competing with each other and trying to surpass him.

"Humph."

The Qilin Horse snorted. Although he was caught up in the competition, he wouldn't admit it. By the way, the cultivation method Qin Qi gave him before was really useful.

Eat more, run more, and your body will become stronger. Also, your body won't get as hot when you run. He can run even faster now!

The Qilin Horse exhaled a breath of hot air, and its speed increased dramatically once again! After resolving the issue of excessive heat, it not only became faster but also had greater endurance!

But Qin Qi was no pushover! He rode the wind beneath his feet, and the White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols, appeared behind him. Since ancient times, clouds have followed the dragon, and wind has followed the tiger!

Qin Qi further mastered the power of heaven and earth by evolving the four spirits of heaven and earth! With each step he took, a gentle breeze assisted him!

This made him faster and more relaxed, even though the Qilin Horse was already very competitive, it still couldn't keep up with him!

"Yes, the Yin-Yang dual cultivation technique can not only be used for cultivation, but also help me comprehend the Four Symbols and the Two Forms."

Qin Qi studied the art of Yin-Yang dual cultivation not for erotic purposes, well, definitely not for erotic purposes; he was simply pursuing the Great Dao.

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor ascended to immortality after having relations with three thousand women, thus cultivating the Dao of Yin and Yang, which is the way of heaven and earth! The art of the bedroom is also a legitimate method of cultivation!

As Qin Qi was perfecting his bedroom techniques and preparing to try them out with Xue Nu that night, he suddenly discovered a house built in an open space.

Looking at the location, the house was right on the land I had previously reclaimed! There were no other buildings around.

"Wait a minute, Qilin Horse, let's go take a look over there."

Qin Qi called out to the Qilin Horse, wondering who had built the house there and whether his plants had died.

"Humph."

The Qilin horse stopped. Although it wanted to win, it wasn't the kind of horse that was impatient for quick success. If Qin Qi wasn't running, why should it run?

Turning around, he followed Qin Qi to check the house over there. Just as they arrived, a dark-skinned, thin old man came out of the house.

"Oh, you're here to seek refuge too?"

The old man looked at Qin Qi. Qin Qi's clothes were intact, his face was clean, and his expression was calm, unlike someone who had fled.

However, in such a snowy weather, who would come to such a place if they weren't fleeing from disaster?

“I am not a refugee. This land is what I used to cultivate. I saw a house built here when I was passing by, so I came to take a look.”

"Did you build this house, Grandpa?"

Qin Qi looked inside the house. Most of the area inside was farmland, with a small portion where some people were eating.

"I built it; those plants need to be kept warm."

"Um, what's your name, sir?"

The old man looked at Qin Qi, feeling both excited and awkward. He wanted to reach out and shake hands with Qin Qi, but then looked at his own pitiful hand.

He thought Qin Qi might find it disgusting, so he wiped it on his clothes, but it still felt too dirty.

"My name is Qin Qi. What's your name, sir?"

Qin Qi spoke.

"My surname is Xu, and everyone calls me Old Man Xu. You can also call me Old Man Xu, sir. If you don't mind, please come in and have a look."

Old Xu noticed that Qin Qi kept looking inside, so he invited Qin Qi to come in and take a look.

"it is good."

Qin Qi nodded and then followed Old Man Xu into the house, where the old man led him around the fields.

"This land is truly excellent; not only is it incredibly fertile, but the plants here are also remarkably resilient!"

Even when their backs were bent and their heads were buried in the snow, they persevered tenaciously!

"Mr. Qin Qi, I really don't understand why you're abandoning these amazing plants?"

Old Xu readily believed Qin Qi's words; he was simply an honest person who easily trusted others.

He never argues with people, never fights with people, and rarely gets angry, but his tone was somewhat unhappy when he spoke to Qin Qi at this moment.

He really couldn't understand why Qin Qi would abandon such good land and such good plants.

I wonder how many people could be fed if these things were grown!

"Because I just planted them randomly at the time, and these plants should face the wind and snow on their own. Only if they can persevere can they grow strong."

"They can't really grow up if they live in a greenhouse all the time."

Qin Qi discovered the problem with these plants at that time; they were able to grow in winter only because of Qin Qi's power.

However, after Qin Qi withdrew his power, these plants would slowly freeze to death; these plants were simply greenhouse plants.

Leaving the greenhouse meant that without Qin Qi, they could not survive in the world, which is why Qin Qi gave it up.

The reason we didn't get rid of them was to give these plants a chance; if they could survive the harsh winter, they could be reborn!

“Sir, I was so rude just now. You’re right, these little guys will eventually have to face the storms on their own.”

"But I don't think we should abandon them because of this. We should take them with us and help them face the storms of life."

"This kind of help is to lend a helping hand at critical times, giving them the strength to fight against those difficulties!"

Old Xu walked into the farmland and carefully observed the appearance of each plant; he truly loved these plants.

He spent his whole life farming. He had no wife or children; the land was his family, and the plants were his children.

"You should know that even if you raise them well, they will still die when they mature, right?"

Qin Qi also went down to the field to carefully observe the plants. He was surprised to find that these plants were different from when he planted them.

They are beginning to adapt to the cold and are starting to evolve! In a while, they may become true plants that can grow in winter!

"They will die, but the seeds will remain, be planted again, and grow again; this is the cycle of life."

"I can see you value these plants quite a bit. Don't you feel bad watching them get cut down and eaten?"

"Sir, you must be joking with me. Although I am a farmer, I still know about matters of life and death."

"They grow up, are eaten by people, and after many years, when people die, they return to the world, and the world nurtures their offspring again."

“I don’t know what others think, but if I can cultivate such beautiful life after I die, then I feel that my death has meaning.”

Old Xu was very old, and he had become indifferent to life and death. Whether he was born or died, he felt it was a happy thing.

"Everything is a cycle..."

"Are you from a farming family?"

Qin Qi looked at Old Man Xu and felt that this statement had a strong agricultural flavor, implying that the earth nourishes all things and that Shennong is immortal.

However, he was somewhat surprised that, apart from those who were vying for fame and fortune, the peasant family actually had a master of such a high level.

"A farmer? No, I'm just a farmer."

Old Xu was slightly puzzled by Qin Qi's words. He didn't know anything about farmers; he was just a farmer.

"Huh? I made a mistake?"

Qin Qi looked at Old Man Xu. He could tell that the man wasn't lying, but his knowledge and speech were unlike those of an ordinary person.

"The Six Halls of the Farmer's Family, the Heroic Leader, old man, you really don't know him?"

"I don't know. I used to farm in the mountains, but then the mountains were flooded, so I had no choice but to come out."

"I came across this good field on the road and couldn't bear to leave, so I stayed to farm it. I really don't know anything about farming or chivalry."

Are they famous?

Old Xu asked.

"They're nothing special, just a bunch of thugs using Shennong's name. Let's not talk about them. What's the deal with these people? Are they your family members?"

Qin Qi looked at the people warming themselves and eating in the corner and asked them a question.

"No, it seems that the Korean and Qin states are at war recently. These people are fleeing and got so hungry on the way that they couldn't stand it anymore."

"I happened to run into them and brought them back. Sigh, in this freezing weather, they might have starved to death."

Old Xu looked at those people and sighed.

"You're also a refugee. Aren't you afraid they'll eat all your food and then you'll have nothing to eat?"

Qin Qi spoke up. He felt that Old Man Xu might be what was called a saint, at a time like this, he wasn't thinking about his own well-being but also about saving people.

The problem is, you don't even have the ability to save people!

"These are all food."

There was no despair or resignation to death in Old Xu's eyes. He looked at the plants in the field, his eyes filled with hope.
