"Great!" Chen Qingling said with a smile, also looking forward to the day it would snow.
In previous years, she and Father would always watch the snow together, build snowmen, and have snowball fights.
But she had never done it with friends before.
Of course, Xiao Wu's situation was exactly the same as Qingling and Rongrong's; none of them had ever experienced it with friends.
They could only watch the snow with two clueless, silly people.
"Hiss…"
"I took a nap, and it's already snowing… It's so cold…"
Chen Qingling rubbed her hands together, blowing on them to warm them up.
Xiao Wu, watching Chen Qingling's clumsy actions, couldn't help but giggle.
"Hehe, Sister Qingling, have you been meditating too long? We're Soul Masters, how could we be cold?"
"Right!" Chen Qingling almost forgot she was a Soul Master. Soul Power flowed through her, and she immediately felt warm.
It wasn't like this in the thatched cottage before; they always had to build a bonfire to keep warm.
Thinking of this, Chen Qingling pouted. Her Father was clearly so powerful, yet he kept it a secret from her! She'd been kept in the dark for so long!
"Sister Qingling? Sister Qingling?"
"Ah?! Xiao Wu, what did you say?" Chen Qingling asked, belatedly realizing she'd been distracted.
"I didn't say anything. What were you thinking about, Sister Qingling? You seemed so engrossed."
Chen Qingling's face broke into a silly grin. "Me? I was just remembering the past, thinking about how Father and I used to spend the winters together."
Xiao Wu blinked, looking like a curious little child.
"Sister Qingling, tell me about it, okay?"
Chen Qingling laughed and shook her head. "There's nothing much to tell. Father and I would just build a bonfire to keep warm."
"It's not like now, with Soul Power flowing through our bodies, and never feeling cold."
"Ah… your Father is so big, and he used a bonfire to keep warm!"
At this, Chen Qingling suddenly got angry, crossing her arms.
"Exactly! Exactly! Did he really have to keep it a secret from me? Really!"
"When I find my mother and go back, I must have a serious talk with Father, figure out the reason why!"
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get, making me huddle up in a ball every winter."
Chen Shenggē: I'm really wronged! Dong dong dong! A hurried knock on the door followed, and then Ning Rongrong's voice.
"Qingling, Xiao Wu, are you two still not awake?"
"Rongrong, we're awake."
Immediately, Chen Qingling quickly opened the door, letting Ning Rongrong in.
The moment the door opened, Chen Qingling saw a snowball the size of a steamed bun flying towards her, "Hahahaha!"
"Qingling, you've been tricked!"
Chen Qingling's Martial Soul spontaneously materialized in the blink of an eye. Her form flickered like a phantom, dodging the incoming snowball.
"Rongrong, what was that for?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Chen Qingling rolled her eyes at Ning Rongrong, "I'd say it's more of a shock than a surprise."
Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips. "It's because you're all such lazybones, sleeping in so late."
At that moment, Xiao Wu entered the room. "It's rare to have a holiday. We should enjoy it."
"Life at the academy isn't hard, but getting up early always makes me sleepy."
"Rongrong, you get up this early?" Chen Qingling was a bit surprised. She remembered that before she left, Rongrong used to sleep in just as late as she did.
Now, how did things change?
Ning Rongrong proudly raised her head and puffed out her chest. "Of course! To catch up to you, Qingling, I have to work hard. I can't slack off for even a second."
Chen Qingling sized up Ning Rongrong. "So, what about now? I don't see you working hard, either."
Ning Rongrong, exposed, shamefully lowered her head, unable to speak clearly.
"I... I..."
"I'm just... I want to play... with you all..."
"Besides, it's useless for me to work hard now. I'm stuck at level 19. I need to get my second Soul Ring to advance further."
"The Celestial Herbs are so effective. Maybe I should try them too?"
After witnessing the effectiveness of the Celestial Herbs, Chen Qingling couldn't help but feel tempted to give it a try.
She just didn't know which Celestial Herb would be beneficial to her!
She couldn't just eat them haphazardly, could she?
When in doubt, seek Father.
Help me, Father!
There's nothing Father doesn't know. The all-knowing Father is here.
[Ding! Detected that the cultivation target Chen Qingling has encountered a problem, requiring the host to resolve it!]
Chen Shenggē frowned. "What's the problem?"
[Ding! The cultivation target Chen Qingling does not know the uses of the Celestial Herbs!]
Chen Shenggē suddenly understood. He immediately opened the system interface and communicated with Chen Qingling.
Father explained the details and effects of each Celestial Herb to his daughter.
"Daughter, I recommend you consume the Blazing Apricot Delicate Sparse and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."
"These two Celestial Herbs will not only increase your Soul Power level, but also grant you fire immunity and ice immunity."
"From then on, you won't fear fire and ice attributes."
After learning the detailed characteristics and effects of the various Celestial Herbs, and with Father's recommendation of the Blazing Apricot Delicate Sparse and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Chen Qingling immediately made a decision and took out two Celestial Herbs at once.
This scene directly stunned Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
"Ah?!"
"Qingling, you want to consume two Celestial Herbs at once?"
"Sister Qingling, are you... being too hasty? You're only one level away from obtaining a Soul Ring. There's no need to take two Celestial Herbs at once, right?"
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's words of concern warmed Chen Qingling's heart.
"I know, I know. These two Celestial Herbs can increase my Soul Power level, but they also have another effect."
"They can make me immune to fire and ice, so I won't fear fire and ice attributes."
Hearing Chen Qingling's explanation, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu looked shocked.
This... this...
It was simply too incredible!
Just boosting their Soul Power level with two Celestial Herbs was one thing, but to gain heaven-defying fire and ice immunity!
If Chen Qingling hadn't said it herself, they wouldn't have believed such a miraculous effect existed.
"Then…then… I'll go find Sword Grandpa to protect you, Qingling, wait for me a moment."
"No need. Taking Celestial Herbs isn't a big deal."
After saying that, Chen Qingling sat cross-legged in front of them and began to refine and absorb the Blazing Apricot Delicate Sparse and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Star Dou Great Forest, the thatched cottage.
After Chen Shenggē had explained everything at great length, he suddenly thought about a small detail of taking the Blazing Apricot Delicate Sparse and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
There was a prerequisite for absorbing these two Celestial Herbs.
To refine and absorb them, she needed to soak in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well! "It's over, it's over!"
"Daughter, don't rush to refine them!"
Chen Shenggē's head was throbbing, praying that his daughter wouldn't rush to refine and absorb the Blazing Apricot Delicate Sparse and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
He then tried to communicate with Chen Qingling mentally, but couldn't connect at all.
At that moment, Chen Shenggē's heart was completely in turmoil.
