Even after the young man tried to pry it open a few times, he still felt that Chi Junlin's arm did not change at all.

He was taken aback and looked at Chi Junlin's arm with an incredulous expression.

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the other person's hand was clearly made of flesh and blood, he would have thought he was holding a stone!

The teenagers behind him thought the young man was acting, and they laughed and patted him all over, as if they were teasing him.

But the young man had already used up all his strength.

Chi Junlin's arm remained completely still!

His cheeks flushed red, and the veins on his forehead stood out.

Chi Junlin felt it was about time.

The arm pressed down steadily.

Little by little, amidst the young man's incredulous expression, the back of his hand was gradually brought to the bottom.

There was absolutely no room for resistance.

The young men behind the young man were all somewhat stunned.

They couldn't understand for a moment how Chi Junlin had won.

Did she really put in the effort just now?

The young man then suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and began explaining something to his companions.

He pointed repeatedly at the stone platform, trying his best to show that he wasn't acting.

Everyone looked at him with expressions of disbelief.

The young man patted the stone platform, indicating that anyone could try.

Then another boy who admired Xiaolan stepped forward, wanting to test his skills against Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin had no objection to this, so he gestured for the young man to sit down as well.

This boy appeared to be much stronger than the one from before.

But his face looks somewhat simple and honest.

Seeing Chi Junlin looking at him, he showed an embarrassed expression.

At this moment, Chi Junlin placed his arm on the stone platform again.

After the two were ready, Chi Junlin waited for the other to exert his strength.

Just like last time, the boy's face turned bright red as he pried open the door.

Then, Chi Junlin lightly pressed down on him with his arm and easily killed him instantly.

At this moment, the villagers standing around all believed that Chi Junlin was indeed incredibly powerful.

They all showed expressions of surprise and admiration.

However, if there is one advantage young people have, it is that they don't believe in superstitions.

Even though two young men had already been defeated by Chi Junlin, more young men stepped forward, wanting to test Chi Junlin's mettle.

Chi Junlin sat there, easily defeating one opponent after another who came before him.

Until no one dared to step forward.

Xiao Lan then showed a joyful and excited expression and began to celebrate.

It was as if she herself had won.

He stuck out his tongue at the group of teenagers, looking smug.

The boys blushed with embarrassment and felt ashamed.

He couldn't help but turn around and leave the campfire.

Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, the women around Xiaolan started to jeer again.

Xiao Lan blushed immediately upon hearing this.

But before Chi Junlin could speak, she took his hand and ran towards the pool.

When they arrived near the pond, Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed.

Just then, she whispered to Chi Junlin, "I...I forgot to tell you, if you win..."

"So you're going to come with me to the pond to talk about love, right?"

Xiao Lan was surprised that Chi Junlin already knew about this matter, and she didn't know how to deny it.

He could only lower his head and say, "This...is...our...tradition."

Chi Junlin smiled and did not ask any further questions.

Instead, he took Xiaolan's hand and strolled to the edge of the lake.

Standing on one side of the pond and looking ahead, I saw something faintly glowing near the aquatic plants.

Upon closer inspection, the points of light appeared as a continuous expanse, swaying and drifting in the gentle breeze.

Chi Junlin suddenly realized.

They were fireflies.

Beneath the aquatic plants near this pool, there turned out to be a habitat for fireflies.

Standing nearby, you can see the lights forming a continuous line in the night.

Like countless stars fallen from the sky, colorful and vast as the sea.

The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

Those by the pool also became drunk.

The two gazed at the incredibly romantic starry sky, and then faintly heard some noises coming from nearby.

Those were young men and women who had left the campfire early, but unable to resist the allure of the beautiful scenery, they slipped into the bushes.

Spring is in full bloom, and the cicadas sing a beautiful song.

Xiao Lan blushed when she heard this.

Thinking to myself, these people are really shameless.

Upon arriving at the pool and seeing the beautiful scenery, they couldn't wait to start playing.

She was conflicted, but then she suddenly felt Chi Junlin take her hand and slowly move closer to her.

Xiaolan's expression seemed slightly stiff, as if she knew what was about to happen.

But deep down, she felt a sense of disbelief.

Then, without waiting for a response.

She then felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.

The girl slightly raised her head and looked at Chi Junlin's face as he looked down at her.

Her eyes were like stars.

She suddenly felt conflicted, and for some reason, she lowered her head.

"Haven't you always wanted this?"

Chi Junlin then asked.

Her voice was gentle and tender.

The girl was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he bravely raised his chin.

Chi Junlin lowered his head with a gentle smile.

Beside a small pond surrounded by fireflies.

The two figures... finally merged into one...

-

Chi Junlin slightly opened his eyes.

When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Feeling the depletion in his body and thinking about the fish and dragon dance of the previous night, Chi Junlin couldn't help but feel a little crazy.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan's seemingly slender and delicate body could display such strong and powerful flexibility...

She moved slightly and saw that Xiaolan had already woken up.

He was busy at the stove in the kitchen, seemingly preparing breakfast for himself.

Hearing Chi Junlin get up, she immediately turned around and said with a smile, "You're awake? I'm making you something to eat. Get up if you're hungry."

Chi Junlin did not respond, but simply got up to wash up.

After a while, he asked, "Where is your grandmother?"

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Xiao Lan smiled and replied, "I went out to cut grass a long time ago."

He hummed in response, neither confirming nor denying.

But it must be said that this old woman was quite open-minded.

They are quite open to new things.

Chi Junlin and Xiao Lan didn't return until late last night, and she didn't say anything.

The two entwined on the bamboo bed all night, the creaking sounds never ceasing, yet she showed no sign of unhappiness.

Moreover, leaving very early the next morning also avoided the awkwardness of meeting them.

It's true that people become more shrewd with age.

After Chi Junlin finished washing his face with the stream water, he walked over to Xiao Lan's side.

After glancing at the pot, he casually remarked, "Is the broth for me to eat?"

"Yes, I also boiled an egg."

After Xiaolan finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly realize the teasing in Chi Junlin's words.

He immediately blushed and poked her, saying, "You bad guy..."

The two kissed for a while in front of the stove, almost burning the noodles in the pot. Only then did Chi Junlin let go of Xiao Lan's hand and let her leave.

Xiao Lan wiped her mouth, panting, and quickly scooped up the noodles and placed them on the table.

The noodles were now a bit mushy, and she looked somewhat frustrated.

However, Chi Junlin still enjoyed eating it.

Even though it contains no spices other than a small amount of salt.

Xiao Lan sat down in front of Chi Junlin, resting her chin on her hands, watching him eat noodles with a look of happiness on her face.

She looks exactly like a newlywed wife cooking for her husband.

For the next few days, the two lived a simple life, eating plain food and living peacefully.

Chi Junlin seemed to have forgotten everything outside the mountains, as well as all his worries and hardships.

I simply enjoyed the gentle breeze and light rain in the mountains.

Only now do I understand what it means to be detached from worldly affairs and to live a long life in the mountains.

But such a life cannot last forever.

That night, the two walked together until they reached a boulder in the mountain stream.

The two, as always, were as affectionate as a young couple.

At this moment, Chi Junlin sensed the changes in the celestial phenomena.

Suddenly, he raised his head and murmured, "It's almost time..."

Xiao Lan seemed a little confused and turned to Chi Junlin to ask, "What do you mean, 'almost'?"

"It's about time... I should leave."
