Qin Ran had taken a nap and was woken up by Li Shiyin's "Hehehaha" noises. He got up from the bed and went to the corridor. Sure enough, Li Shiyin was dancing with the sword in the mud pit again.
It was about five o'clock in the afternoon. The sunlight was getting softer but had not yet set. Today was another sunny day after the rain. The whole world was clean, fresh, gentle and beautiful.
It was as if the escape in the rain last night was just a dream.
His silly disciple was making trouble over there, and he should have stopped him, but he didn't want to stop him now, he just felt it was wonderful.
He went downstairs to pour a glass of boiled water, and slowly walked to the edge of the mud pit.
When he got here, he realized that it wasn't just Li Shiyin at the bottom of the pit, Zhuifeng was there too. This big black and white cat was now waving its claws, digging the mud with all its might, and meowing, the mud flew everywhere, turning it into a completely black cat.
Li Shiyin had been digging this lake for nearly twenty days, and it had grown to a considerable size. She was dancing with the sword and moving around below without being affected by the terrain.
The silly apprentice's talent in martial arts was no joke. Qin Ran watched for a while and found that there was already a hint of sword energy on the silly apprentice's sword.
With the sword energy, one has officially entered the sword art. As for Qin, the way he holds the sword is like a blind man holding a lantern.
"It's just that his vigilance is too low." Qin Ran shook his head. He had been standing here for a long time, but his stupid disciple didn't notice him. If he continued to travel around the world like this, he would be dead before he even reached Linxian City.
“It seems that I need to strengthen education in this area in the future…” he thought.
At this moment, Li Shiyin shouted softly: "Master, watch the sword!"
"Um?"
Qin Ran looked carefully and saw Li Shiyin already facing him at the bottom of the pit. She tapped the ground with her toes, used the force to fly into the air, and stabbed at him with a sword.
Good man, he was just dissatisfied with his silly disciple's vigilance, and the next second he was about to be stabbed in the back by the silly disciple. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough.
Seeing this, Qin Ran waved his right finger, and the boiled water in the cup in his left hand flew out in a ribbon-like shape, flowing forward, entangled the sword of the stupid disciple, and then moved to the side, and the stupid disciple stabbed to the side.
"Go pour some water!"
Qin Ran threw the cup to Li Shiyin and sat down on a chair beside the pit.
"Ah!" Li Shiyin sighed regretfully, took the cup, and ran towards the wooden house.
In the pit
Zhuifeng, who was working hard, also noticed Qin Ran at this time. He let out a loud "meow" and became excited. He jumped out from the bottom of the pit, which was more than three meters high, and came directly to the surface of the pit. Then he pounced into Qin Ran's arms.
Qin Ran had just sat down when he wasn't paying attention and was hit by Zhuifeng. He fell directly onto the recliner and almost couldn't catch his breath.
And when he was knocked down, Zhuifeng's excitement was gone, and the more than ten pounds of weight bouncing on his chest made him feel what unbearable love was.
Qin Ran was covered in mud and gasping for breath. He began to worry. Zhuifeng was not a cat but a tiger. If he didn't know his own size and pounced on him like this when he grew up, someone might be killed.
He reached out to hug Zhuifeng, ready to teach him a lesson, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Zhuifeng's voice: "Hug... bia... Dad... Dad... Bo..."
"Huh?" He was stunned on the spot, looking at Zhuifeng with a look of shock, and asked in disbelief, "You, what are you talking about?"
Zhuifeng opened his small three-petal mouth, revealing two cute long sharp fangs, and shouted clearly: "Dad... Dad..."
“I… I… Shit!” Qin Ran cursed and was completely stunned. He lay there for a long time without being able to move.
Li Shiyin came over with water in her hand. Zhuifeng tilted his head towards her and shouted, "mia... mom... mu..."
"Hey hey hey! Stop! Don't shout!" Qin Ran woke up with a start, sat up, and quickly held Zhuifeng down to prevent him from continuing shouting.
"What happened to Zhuifeng?" Li Shiyin handed the water to Qin Ran. "Haha, Master, Zhuifeng is so dirty, you are dirty too!"
"Ahem..." Qin Ran didn't dare to look at Li Shiyin. For some reason, he felt guilty. He leaned over to take the water and replied, "Nothing... Nothing!"
"Why do I hear Zhuifeng talking!" said Li Shiyin.
“Ah? Really?” Qin Ran finally realized that he had forgotten to show off, so he said to Zhuifeng, “Come on, Zhuifeng, Zhuifeng, come on, call me!”
"Dad..." Zhuifeng shouted with a unclear tongue.
"Wow!" Li Shiyin was surprised, "Zhuifeng can really speak?!" Although she couldn't explain it clearly.
It was amazing. She picked up Zhuifeng and spun around happily. After a while, she put Zhuifeng down and said to him, "Zhuifeng, call me!"
Zhuifeng was still spinning in excitement. He blinked his big cute eyes and shouted vaguely, "Mommy~!"
"Puff!" Qin Ran spat out a mouthful of boiled water, and his hair stood up in fear.
"No, no, call me sister!" Fortunately, the silly apprentice did not notice anything unusual. She was correcting Zhuifeng.
"Meow meow?" Zhuifeng was puzzled.
"No, sister!" Li Shiyin continued to work hard.
"Ze...Ze?" Zhuifeng asked in confusion.
“Hehe…” Qin Ran calmly drank water beside him and sneered, “Is it possible for an average person to teach Zhuifeng how to speak?”
"Alas!" Li Shiyin sighed and pouted, "Zhuifeng is so stupid!"
Qin Ran looked over the cup and stared at her. It was unclear who was more stupid.
"Master... what does dad mean?" Li Shiyin asked again, "Zhuifeng called you dad?"
"That's what father and dad meant." Qin Ran's tone was more or less proud.
"Oh..." Li Shiyin nodded, and then whispered, "Then it's not good to call me sister."
"What?" Qin Ran asked.
"Nothing!" Li Shiyin replied hastily, and then hurriedly changed the subject, "Master, where did you go this morning? How did you get into that state? You slept all day again."
Qin Ran glanced at her and replied, "It's adults' business, kids, don't mind your own business!"
"I'm not a child!" Li Shiyin curled her lips.
"How is your Starlight Guiding Technique going?" Qin Ran asked.
"Master... Master..." Li Shiyin stretched out her tone and said helplessly, "You are getting old and confused. You haven't even started practicing yet! How can you practice these few days? It was still raining last night. Let's see if it will rain again. Can we practice tonight?"
That’s right, Qin Ran nodded. It was raining the night before yesterday in the Hengduan Mountains, and it was raining last night as well. The Starlight Guiding Technique requires guiding starlight, just like when building the foundation. It is best to practice it for the first time at night, when the star power is the most concentrated.
But he would not admit his mistake and only said, "Then we can practice tonight."
"Hey..." Li Shiyin sighed, "Why are you so anxious, Master?"
"When I tell you to practice, just practice honestly. Why are you talking so much?" Qin Ran said.
You never know when the monsters will officially riot. If you don't get your natal sword ready before the riot, many variables will arise later.
Once you get your natal sword, you will have many more options...
