394: 394.
Barn Owl 394: 394.
Barn Owl After entering the room, Xiao Cha wrapped herself in the blanket and rolled to the corner of the wall, huddling motionless.
Wanqing laughed heartily as she went over and started tugging at her, “Don’t hide, co out quickly~”
“Go away, go enjoy yourself…
Ouch!
Stop pulling at my clothes!”
Xiao Cha stubbornly resisted, determined to keep her head buried like an ostrich.
But in guarding her head and not her tail, she was swiftly peeled out of her “Peach” by Wanqing, who clicked her tongue and comnted,
“It’s clear she’s well-nourished~ Husband, co spank~”
Xiao Cha kicked at her with two long white legs and scread,
“Ahhhh!
How did Wanqing beco like this, where is that gentle and virtuous darling from before?”
“People are ant to change, you know~”
Wanqing bit her lower lip and smirked mischievously, “The feisty and suspicious Xiao Cha is also gone, right~”
With a wave of her hand, Wanqing condensed her spirit into a mirror.
In the mirror, there was only innocence and coquettishness on Xiao Cha’s pretty face, as well as embarrassnt.
Gone was the truculent ferocity of when they first t, ready to haul soone off to the station at any mont.
Indeed, as Wanqing said, people change.
After following Lu Li, Xiao Cha has been cheerful every day, happy every day, without worries, leaving nothing but innocence and charm.
But then again, it was Wanqing who had changed the most.
This girl had completely let loose her nature, with a bit of scheming and a bad taste in humor.
The more Xiao Cha resisted, the more Wanqing wanted to properly soak and stir her up.
The room was filled with screams and noises, and Lu Li even added another layer of sound insulation with his spirit, but still, he failed to protect the floor.
All sorts of sounds entered the earth, turning into complex vibrational ripples, all heard by a pair of delicate cat ears.
Xingru didn’t do it on purpose; her “Truth Listening” was a naturally divine skill that, after reaching the state of Refining God and Sitting Forget, could control the subconscious to block out.
And “Truth Listening” is not just about hearing well; this ability can discern all things in the world through sound.
Lying on her bed with her eyes closed, Xingru visualized bustling scenes in her mind…
She abruptly opened her eyes, sighed helplessly, then glanced enviously at her sister, who was sleeping soundly.
“Forget it, I’ll read for a while.”
Xingru pulled out a copy of the “Inner Canon of Huangdi” from under her pillow and began to read in the dark.
Her power was mostly innate, and she needed knowledge to understand it and solidify her foundation.
However, no matter how focused she was on reading, the noises kept drilling into her ears, and her mind conjured up various scenarios.
Xingru covered her cat ears, feeling a bit desperate, “I’m so sleepy…”
Fortunately, things quieted down over there quickly.
Only then did Xingru snuggle into the warm bed, curling up and falling asleep like a little cat.
~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, just as the dawn was beginning to break, Lu Li woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Every bit of fatigue had been swept away, and both his body and mind were conditioned to their best states.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, “I’ve finally got my way, really thrilling~”
“Just look at how capable you think you are!”
Xiao Cha reached out and pinched him hard, saying fiercely, “Just this once, okay?
You’re not allowed to do it again!”
Hearing this, Wanqing giggled, about to say sothing…
Xiao Cha imdiately glared at her, “So people, at their age, still wet the bed, not ashad at all!”
“I didn’t…
that wasn’t…”
Wanqing had always thought everyone was the sa, and now she realized she was quite special, at a loss for words to defend herself.
Xiao Cha finally felt so relief and then reached out to Lu Li to demand, “Where’s that deed?
Give it back to .”
Lu Li shook his head and laughed, “I’m keeping it.”
“What do you need that for?”
“As a nto, to take out and look at every now and then.”
“Damn!
A nto my ass, give it back to !”
Xiao Cha imdiately pounced on him, knowing full well that such a thing was a dark part of history that must not be preserved.
She reached into Lu Li’s pocket, only to find it clutched in the mouth of a semi-transparent dragon’s head.
Couple Unity, the Heart Image held it like a mother cat carrying her kitten and would not harm the girl.
“I kept my promise, now give it back to , aah!”
Xiao Cha didn’t give up, but no matter how hard she punched or kicked, she couldn’t break free and even caused quite a commotion.
At this ti, Xia Weiyun called out from the yard, “You all should have had enough fun by now—ti to get up!”
“Coming!”
With a wave of his hand, Lu Li had all three of them dressed in their clothes.
“Stinky Lu Li, just you wait!”
Xiao Cha obviously hadn’t given up, but with no match for his skills, she could only look for another opportunity.
When they arrived in the yard, they saw Xia Wei Yun standing tall and graceful with several bird cages beside her.
She smiled at her three younger siblings and said,
“The Golden Court intends to issue a decree of abdication at the end of the year for a dignified exit.
Shen Xing and the other ambitious Governors do not agree; they’re about to head north to battle, so we must also be prepared.”
Xiao Cha asked, “Are we going too?”
“Of course, we should witness such a grand event.”
Xia Weiyun nodded and said,
“Not just us, many disciples will also follow to gain experience.
Speaking of which, the Chen Family siblings and Tong Shao have notable talents and could benefit from witnessing the event.”
A jade uncut does not beco a tool; naturally, Lu Li and the others had no objections.
He even said, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen them; call them over, and I’ll give them so pointers.”
Wanqing said with a smile, “The three youngsters are only on Bone Forging; they don’t need a True Monarch to take action.”
“Only Bone Forging?”
The progress seed slow, and Lu Li couldn’t help but wonder, as the family should not lack resources.
Wanqing explained, “They are still growing, so they can’t rush into Refining Internal Organs.”
“I see.”
Lu Li imdiately understood that children indeed need to grow first.
And he and his companions also needed to make full preparations.
Lu Li had quite a few things to do next, including mastering Heart Image Blessing and his own Magic Door, as well as tempering his Flying Sword with dark matter.
But at that mont, Xia Weiyun pointed to several bird cages beside her and said,
“We don’t have much ti, and we’re not lacking in combat techniques; let’s strengthen our movent techniques.”
It was clear that a lesson was about to begin, and the Cat Ears Sisters also gathered around to learn.
“Pay attention.”
Xia Wei Yun began to open each bird cage one by one.
One after another, wild ducks, falcons, magpies, and sparrows flew out.
All these birds were small in size, each fluttering its wings to escape into the sky.
Lu Li and the others watched carefully but couldn’t see anything special.
However, there was still one last bird cage that Xia Wei Yun opened promptly.
A creature resembling a barn owl flew out silently.
Its body was half a ter long with a wingspan of a ter, the largest of them all, yet it made the least sound!
The other birds, even the sparrows, made quite noticeable wing flapping noise when they flew.
But this creature was 30 tis the size of a sparrow and made absolutely no sound while flying, truly magical!
Xia Wei Yun said, “This is a Barn Owl, also known as Monkey-faced Eagle, which relies on this silent flight to hunt.
Have you learned anything?”
Lu Li, having scrutinized it thoroughly with his Spirit, imdiately combined it with his knowledge from Blue Star and said,
“Its feathers have serrated edges, which reduce friction with the air and greatly reduce noise.”
Hearing this, Xiao Cha and the others hurriedly took a closer look, indeed finding the unique serrated flight feathers and marveling at the sight.
Xia Wei Yun gave Lu Li a satisfied smile, then took a book from her bosom and said,
“True to the principle of emulating heaven and earth, the law of nature.
Here is ‘Barn Owl Feather,’ which teaches how to create a serrated structure on the surface of the body with True Qi to move silently.
Take this ti to master it!”
