Chapter 313
“Dinner’s ready.”
“Ah, Bing Tuozi, you’re back! What time is it now?”
Li Mo opened his eyes in confusion, as if he had just woken up.
Ying Bing set down plates of food on the small table beside the bed.
A pair of chopsticks was also placed in front of Li Mo.
“Go ahead and eat.”
“How do I eat?”
Li Mo looked even more bewildered.
Bing Tuozi had been feeding him for three days now.
With a blank expression, Ying Bing replied, “Of course, you eat with the chopsticks.”
“...Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
The best actor, Little Li, trembled as he reached for the chopsticks. After several attempts, he finally managed to grasp them.
But in the end, he still couldn’t hold on, and the chopsticks slipped from his fingers.
In that effort, there was a hint of helplessness, just enough to be poignant.
He truly was a little genius at acting!
With a sigh, Li Mo said, “Sigh... I knew it. Bing Tuozi, you go ahead and eat. I have to rely on myself...”
“...Forget it, I’ll do it.”
Ying Bing didn’t call him out on it. She took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed.
“Thanks for your hard work, Bing Tuozi. The duck blood is delicious.”
“This tofu has to be sweet. Not bad, the chef at the restaurant really knows his stuff. Sweet is the way to go.”
As Li Mo ate, he earnestly critiqued the dishes.
His hands were a bit restless, and in that idleness, it was easy to accidentally touch something.
So, he ended up brushing against a delicate little foot.
The round, jade-like toes curled up immediately.
“Hmm? What’s wrong? Is the sweet tofu not good?”
“It’s good, but didn’t you say your hands are weak?”
“Right.”
Hearing this, Ying Bing’s gaze deepened as she felt the pressure on her little foot, gently kneading and teasing, sometimes firm, sometimes soft, just right...
Bing Tuozi was listening to your excuses.jpg.
Li Mo thought seriously for a moment and said, “I really do have weak hands, I can’t even lift my arms. But as everyone knows, food that looks and smells good is more appetizing, which helps with my appetite...”
“Eating well and being in a good mood are both beneficial for recovery. I’m doing this for my speedy recovery.”
“Besides, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It shows how important the feet are. I’m also thinking of your health...”
Li Da Chef was spouting nonsense with utmost seriousness.
“...”
Ying Bing glanced at her little foot.
What does that have to do with looks, aroma, and taste?
She gently pressed her lips together and offered him a piece of beef to silence his rambling.
A moment later.
Li Mo finished his meal.
Ying Bing continued eating, occasionally shivering slightly, clearly distracted by the food on the table.
You could tell from the way she almost poked Li Mo in the nose with her chopsticks just moments ago.
After eating, she pulled her little foot back, pursed her lips, and said coolly, “I originally had a method to help you recover faster, but it seems that’s not going to work now.”
“What method?”
Li Mo felt a bit unsatisfied, his palms feeling empty.
Ying Bing thought for a moment and said softly, “I have two sets of training clothes that are beneficial for dual cultivation. They can harmonize yin and yang, making the process twice as effective.”
“What do they look like?”
Li Mo was somewhat puzzled.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Ying Bing nodded, then twisted the head of a doll-like figure, retrieving two pieces of clothing from inside.
One was the Taiyin Liuxian dress she had worn not long ago.
The other was, of course, the pure yang long robe.
One was entirely dark with silver threads embroidered in the shape of the moon, mysterious and noble; the other was pure white with golden threads depicting the sun, just and majestic.
“This is... training clothes?”
“Mm.”
“...”
Li Mo examined the two garments, which seemed to almost stick together.
Which sect designed training clothes like this?
The Hehuan Sect, perhaps?
“Anyway, you can’t even lift your arms right now, so you can’t wear the long robe.”
Ying Bing’s eyes shimmered as she tried to take the clothes back.
“Hey? How strange, I suddenly feel a surge of primal energy.”
Li Mo stood up, raising his arm with a look of wonder, indicating he was full of life and that changing clothes was no problem.
A medical miracle.
Ying Bing: “?”
“Let’s change into matching outfits!”
Li Mo said excitedly.
“They’re training clothes. Once you’re changed, we can start practicing.”
“Can they only be worn during training?”
This chapter isn’t over yet; please click to the next page to continue reading!
“They can only be worn when you’re with me.”
“Isn’t that just...”
“Aren’t your hands too weak to exert any strength? You can’t even hold chopsticks.”
“Exactly, they’re training clothes.”
Li Mo nodded, looking righteous, agreeing that Bing Tuozi was right.
After all, who said training clothes could only be worn during practice?
They were just training clothes that could be worn when they were together.
Little Li and Bing Tuozi reached a certain understanding.
Little Li didn’t mention matching outfits, and Bing Tuozi didn’t bring up his miraculous recovery, deliberately letting her serve him for a few days.
Before long.
Li Mo had changed into the clothes and stood in front of a bronze mirror, admiring himself.
Wow.
The saying “clothes make the man” really holds true. After his trip to the southern border, he seemed to have grown a bit taller, and this long robe fit him perfectly.
His demeanor matched well, making the gentle and refined Little Li appear even more sunny and upright.
With this appearance, who wouldn’t call him a gentleman?
“Bing Tuozi, are you ready?”
“Mm.”
Soon, Ying Bing stepped out from behind the screen and stood beside him.
Instantly, the mirror reflected a pair of perfect matches.
The boy was bright and sunny, while the girl was cool and serene.
“Now that we’re in our training clothes, let’s practice.”
Ying Bing’s eyes flickered, feeling a hint of shyness in the mirror that was oddly striking...
“Okay.”
Li Mo nodded, and they sat down at the edge of the bed.
Before Ying Bing could reach out, she saw Little Li bending down to take off her boots.
“? What are you doing?”
“I want to see if holding feet feels the same as holding hands.”
Li Mo was very serious, as if he were studying a very serious matter: “If holding feet feels the same, then can we do foot massages while dual cultivating?”
“Foot massages are beneficial for physical and mental health; perhaps they could enhance the effects of dual cultivation!”
He was simply a genius!

**Chapter 341: The Dragon Reveals Itself**
Ding-dong—
At the Xiyangyang Hot Pot Restaurant, the wind chimes at the eaves clinked together.
The massive warship of the Qingyuan Sect, Elder Qian’s prized possession, hovered at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, consuming two pieces of Xuanjing with each activation.
“What’s going on? Why is the Qingyuan Sect making such a show? Are they preparing for battle?”
“Don’t you know? There’s been a beast tide in the southern border, and the King of the South has gone back to the imperial capital to report. He can’t stay at the southern pass, so I’m preparing to move my family to Yunzhou.”
“Right, I wonder if Xiyangyang Hot Pot will open a branch in Yunzhou...”
A few remaining diners were discussing.
Now that the southern pass was on the verge of falling, the winds of change were subtly blowing towards the Eastern Wilderness, and even ordinary people had heard the rumors.
“Have you all finally made up your minds?”
Mei Yun stood up to greet Xue Jing, who was descending from the warship.
“Mm, we plan to go to the southern border. Even if there’s just a slight chance, we have to bring those two kids back. We need to see them alive or dead.”
Xue Jing said with a serious expression.
This was the result of a joint discussion among the elders.
Mei Yun was somewhat surprised, but after a moment of silence, she seemed to recall what the former matriarch had done and felt it was understandable.
If Chu Long’s life or death were unknown, she would do the same.
“What about Miss Jiang?” Xue Jing asked.
“She’s still sleeping.”
Mei Yun noticed that every time Jiang Chulong woke from her dreams, she seemed to grow a bit stronger.
She guessed it was likely the work of that expert who could impart teachings in dreams, but she knew nothing else.
“She’s such a silly child.”
Xue Jing sighed and took out a box from his robe, containing a pill.
“Thank you, and please... be careful.”
Mei Yun hesitated to speak.
This pill was made primarily from Dream Orchid, allowing the user to fall into a deep sleep. It was not only harmless to the body but also enhanced the spirit’s consciousness.
This was a pill Mei Yun had asked Xue Jing to refine.
