Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 708 - 708 222 Dual ... Cultivation

Chapter 708: Chapter 222: Dual … Cultivation? Chapter 708: Chapter 222: Dual … Cultivation? “This soup was definitely worth the effort, labor rewarded, value obtained.”

Dong Xiaoyan smacked her lips, savoring the flavor.

“If only we could have it once a day…”

She dreamed aloud.

“Dream on.” Feng Yin rudely burst her fantasy bubble.

“I am already beautiful!”

Dong Xiaoyan huffed, raising her head in arrogance.

Then came the changes in the three little ones. First, the small snake was shedding its skin again, showing wrinkled signs on its surface with some areas split open.

Feng Ying, no surprise, was shedding fur again.

Finally, the Ice Phoenix… visibly grew larger, its feathers throughout its body evidently became much stronger than before, and the color was increasingly crystal-clear, as if transparent.

However, the most notable change was a shell-like shadow hiding on its body.

Clearly, the potency of a bowl of soup exceeded the three little ones’ capacity for change, leaving them drowsy and ready to fall asleep at any moment.

They could hardly sit still.

But each stubbornly resisted sleep, even as they wobbled, all waiting.

They couldn’t afford to fall asleep now!

Because there was still a pot of meat after the soup!

The three little ones were all of the same mind.

If I fall asleep, won’t I be giving an advantage to that furless one and the one with wings?—Feng Ying.

If I fall asleep, I would be doing the older one a favor, but that bird, why should it benefit?—the little snake.

If I fall asleep, wouldn’t I be giving an advantage to the other two? I’ve worked the hardest, and if I don’t get to eat the meat, wouldn’t I be at a great loss?—Ice Phoenix.

All three little ones insisted, none willing to close their eyes first.

Watching the three little ones in this state, the Cat Emperor and others almost burst into laughter.

These little creatures were sure to bring hilarity to death.

The meat in the pot was quickly scooped out and each little one was given a bowl.

After Feng Ying finished eating with a blink of an eye, the expression had become hazy with sleepiness, and with a shake, it jumped forward.

You couldn’t even clearly see what happened.

The Cat Emperor, well-prepared and knowing this would happen, was ready to catch her.

However, she found that her daughter, out of habit, elegantly jumped into Feng Yin’s arms, curled up, and fell asleep. Everything was so naturally smooth and expected.

Cat Emperor withdrew her hand, her face twisted, and she muttered a curse under her breath.

And to think her daughter had the audacity to ignore her own mother and go to a stranger in such a moment!

The little snake, after having a little bit, fell asleep right in the bowl. Feng Yin had to take it out from the bowl.

While sleeping, its snake skin cracked open and it started to shed.

The Ice Phoenix managed to finish his half-bowl, toughly finished the remaining half left by the little snake, and only then did it feel like it had scored a big bargain. It wobbled into Dong Xiaoyan’s arms and fell asleep.

“We still have half a pot left, let’s eat too.”

With a shake of her head, the Cat Emperor tried to suppress a smile.

“Let’s bring over the hot pot and the wine, let’s enjoy ourselves again.” Feng Yin suggested.

This suggestion was endorsed and agreed upon by everyone.

“We drink this every day, Xiaoyan.”

Hu Lengyue couldn’t help but complain to Zhuang Weiran, “You better drink less.”

“It doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. It’s rare that everyone is in such a great mood, and the breakthrough in our cultivation is such a great thing to celebrate. If we don’t drink to it, wouldn’t it be a dampener?”

Zhuang Weiran, having got such a great chance, was determined to drink happily with Feng Yin and the others to his heart’s content, which annoyed Hu Lengyue greatly.

Dong Xiaoyan, after finishing her drink, went to sleep, hugging the Ice Phoenix.

Now Miss Dong had a wonderful life here, she even had her own room.

The subsequent digestion of the Ice Phoenix was bound to take some time. Instead of flitting back and forth, it’s better to stay here unbothered.

Feng Yin, with Feng Ying in his arms and the little snake in his hand, went back to sleep. The Cat Emperor had to go back to her room herself, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Looking at her daughter’s limp little tail, she really wanted to pull it back.

As for Zhuang Weiran…

Well, he was dragged away by Hu Lengyue by his ear.

As for what happened after his return, well, everyone knows. It probably saved about a few thousand words!

…

However, after that meal, Dong Tiesong had been waiting in the guesthouse where Dong Xiaoyan stayed for an entire day and night, yet he never saw Dong Xiaoyan come back. How could he not be worried out of his mind?!

Where on earth did she go?

“My dear heavens.”

“What kind of price did my little princess have to pay to save me?”

Don’t tell me… she actually had to spend the night at the godly physician’s place?!

If that’s true, if I go back now… wouldn’t I be making a disgrace of myself?!

Even if everyone just spat at me, I would still drown.

“Where did she go?”

“What did she do?”

“What in the world is going on?”

“The two of you… can’t you say something?”

Dong Tiesong was at his wit’s end.

Bai Changshan and Bai Changhai, the two brothers, were silent as statues.

We both know it’s going to be absolutely fine.

These types of things occur every few days, who isn’t aware? Is there anything new?

You keep scolding us just like grandsons… You better just wait and see…

…

Until the next morning.

Dong Xiaoyan returned with a radiant smile, her body emanating a full abundance of energy, and she looked great.

She walked as if she was going to leap up at any moment.

In the eyes of outsiders, the little princess of Cloud Palace still appeared aloof and unreachable.

But those familiar with her could see many differences. Despite her icy exterior, she was actually over the moon.

The slightest stimulation could set her off, just like a Husky on the loose.

Dong Xiaoyan rushed into the inn, into her room, even brighter and prouder. She twirled around and said, “Can you notice any changes in me today?”

Dong Tiesong felt dejected. The girl seemed so vibrant… exactly what had happened to her?

He replied feebly, “I only noticed that you seem very pleased…”

“Oh, Grandpa third, you’ve recovered? With such great results?”

At a glance, Dong Xiaoyan was immensely surprised, exclaiming, “Your hair has even turned black! Wow, this is… truly amazing!”

Dong Tiesong miserably asked, “Girl, what price did you pay to save me? Just tell me the truth!”

“Price?”

Dong Xiaoyan widened her eyes: “What price?”

Then, as if understanding something, she shook her head and laughed, “You’re thinking too much… I want you to see my current cultivation level!”

“I am now at Heavenly Rank Six!”

Dong Xiaoyan hopped in front of Dong Tiesong, hands on her hips, looking condescending, “I’ve broken through. I’ve now reached Heavenly Rank Six!”

“Heavenly Rank Six?”

Only then did Dong Tiesong realize that Dong Xiaoyan’s cultivation had broken through, and he widened his eyes in disbelief, “What did you do? How did you break through overnight? Did you get some kind of opportunity?”

“Guess!”

Dong Xiaoyan squinted her eyes, obviously enjoying the shocked expression of her familiar companion.

“Could it be… dual cultivation?”

The words slipped out of Dong Tiesong’s mouth.

After a full night of tossing and turning, countless thoughts occupied his mind. Dual cultivation would account for both the cost and the breakthrough. He expressed his thoughts directly.

“!!!”

At these words, Dong Xiaoyan’s face turned crimson, she stomped her foot and chided, “You old pervert! You and your dirty mind! What nonsense are you talking about?!!”

Dong Tiesong immediately regretted his words.

It greatly affected the girl’s reputation, regardless if it was true or not!

“No, what I meant was…you must have had some other opportunity!”

Dong Tiesong hurriedly tried to backtrack.

“Of course!”

Dong Xiaoyan was still blushing, but after the previous topic she was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

She was strong-minded and naive, but after all she was a girl. She did know some common sense about social interpersonal relationships.

“Yesterday I drank a bowl of soup with Sky Sneaking Grass and Yin and Yang Jiao!!”

Dong Xiaoyan stamped her feet, all flushed, and was furious.

She was planning to come back and show off a bit, but it turned into an effort to prove her innocence.

Why are all these old guys’ minds so filthy?!

“Ah, those are really good things. Each and every one is the finest product. The combination of the two is rare!”

Dong Tiesong also felt there was something wrong.

As a grandfather figure, how can he speak without a filter like this…

“Such good stuff, such a good opportunity, you’re so lucky, no wonder you made a breakthrough…”

Dong Tiesong tried hard to backtrack.

Dong Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to him even more.

Why does everything he say sound so weird…

“So, you didn’t pay the medical fees for the divine doctor?” Dong Tiesong asked cautiously.

“I still owe it!”

Dong Xiaoyan clenched her teeth, “Didn’t I come back early to let you pay? Just a single night has passed, look at how suspicious you are… Hurry up, hand over the money!”

Having said that, she stretched out her hand under Dong Tiesong’s nose, with a strong momentum, resembling a debt collector.

She initially thought about explaining the situation, but seeing his attitude right now, if she didn’t bleed this old guy dry, she wouldn’t be able to vent her embarrassment!

Dong Tiesong grimaced and took out his ring, “I was ready for this. I prepared Yin and Yang Warm Jade, Heaven and Earth Warm Jade, Seabed Warm Jade, Earth Core Warm Jade, Beast King Mysterious Pill, hundreds of Spiritual Pearls, as well as dozens of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that are more than ten thousand years old, and top-grade spirit crystals…”

“Just give it to me, stop wasting your breath…”

Dong Xiaoyan grabbed it straight away.

Dong Tiesong was indeed straightforward, letting go of everything immediately without any further action.

“Hmm, you really plan to give me everything? Are you that generous?”

Dong Xiaoyan found it rather strange. After all, in her opinion, although Feng Yin’s medical fees should be expensive, they shouldn’t have been that much.

If it was that much, there wouldn’t be many people on the entire continent who could afford to fall ill.

When did her third grandpa become so extravagant?
