Ge Dongxu nodded, then lightly pointed his toes on the ground and—along with the snowflakes—ascended into the air. In a blink, he was but a speck in the sky which, had not Ge Shengming and his wife been constantly looking up, sending him off into the ascent, they would not have been able to spot him at all.
In just a mont, Ge Dongxu descended as softly as a snowflake and looked at his parents, who were utterly dumbstruck, with a smile.
"Good lord! I, Ge Shengming, have borne an immortal son!" It took a long ti for Ge Shengming to conceal his inner shock and excitent, and he even swore in front of his son and wife.
As a teacher, Xu Suya didn't chastise her husband for his foul language this ti but just stared at her son. It took her a while before she reached out to touch his cheek, murmuring in disbelief, "It feels like I'm dreaming—is this really my son?"
"Could it be fake? Do you want to take you for another ride?" Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"No need, standing on top of a tree, my legs are already going soft!" Ge Shengming shivered and waved his hands continuously upon hearing this.
"That sounds great! It was really interesting just now!" Xu Suya, on the other hand, said with a face full of excitent and anticipation.
"Oh my!" Seeing his father backpedaling while his mother's face was filled with excited anticipation, Ge Dongxu couldn't help smacking his forehead, completely taken aback.
His mother was quite a bit lighter than his father, and since he was only carrying her this ti, the leap and flight were much easier for Ge Dongxu.
Each leap shot them out over a hundred ters, dozens of ters high, which thrilled Xu Suya endlessly, leaving Ge Dongxu speechless.
He had always thought of his mother as a kind-hearted people's teacher, amiable and composed. Only now did he realize that she had an even greater adventurous spirit in her bones than his father.
But after thinking it over, Ge Dongxu felt relieved. His mother's family circumstances back then, as well as her educational level, had led her to stubbornly marry a poor, uneducated country farr like his father, which must be related to her inherent temperant.
After nearly covering the whole Baiyun Mountain with his mother, who by then had had her fill of excitent, they returned ho. She pulled her husband away from watching the Spring Festival Gala and excitedly talked non-stop.
Upon hearing that his son had taken his wife almost all around Baiyun Mountain, with each flight covering hundreds of ters, and tens of ters high, Ge Shengming felt a mix of longing and weak in the knees. It took him a while to smile wryly and say, "At our age, to be so wild!"
"If I weren't wild, would I have married you, an honest and simple guy, back then?" Xu Suya rolled her eyes at Ge Shengming and said.
"If you hadn't married , an honest and simple guy, would you have such an immortal-like son?" Ge Shengming rebutted with his legs crossed and a proud look on his face.
Taken aback by his words, Xu Suya suddenly burst into a cheerful laugh, and gently tapped Ge Shengming's forehead, saying, "You're right! Marrying you was the best decision I've made in my life."
Ge Dongxu watched his parents, who looked so happily in love, and felt very happy. Just as he was about to chi in, his cellphone suddenly rang.
Picking it up, Ge Dongxu saw it was a call from Jiang Lili and looked at his parents with a guilty expression. He quickly grabbed the phone and stepped out of the living room, then answered the call.
"Eh, could that be a call from a girlfriend?" No one knows a child better than a mother. Seeing her son holding the phone with an obviously troubled expression, Xu Suya felt a slight stirring in her heart and spoke up.
"A girlfriend? He's only a freshman; surely he hasn't got one so quickly?" Ge Shengming said upon hearing this.
"Are you daft? Can you asure your son by the sa standards as normal college students? Besides, weren't you older than him when you and I started dating?" Xu Suya pinched Ge Shengming and cast a sidelong glance at him.
"That's also true. Co to think of it, we were about his age when we started dating, and now that he's so impressive, and just as handso as his dad back in the day, he must be..." Ge Shengming nodded and said.
"Stop! What did you just say?" Xu Suya interrupted.
"I was saying that the age we were dating was..." Ge Shengming replied.
"Halt! I was referring to the other sentence," Xu Suya said.
"Which sentence are you talking about? I don't understand. But never mind, let's continue talking about our son," Ge Shengming said, his old face blushing.
Of course, he knew exactly which sentence his wife was asking about.
"Haha!" Xu Suya burst into laughter upon seeing this and it took a while before she said, "Actually, you don't need to feel embarrassed. In my heart, you were quite handso back in the day."
"Hehe!" Ge Shengming scratched his head, grinning with a mix of pride and embarrassnt.
"What kind of girlfriend do you think a son like ours will find?" Xu Suya asked, glancing sideways at her husband.
"Of course, he'll find a girlfriend who's like his mom—beautiful, virtuous, and kind-hearted," Ge Shengming replied imdiately.
"Pfft!" Xu Suya was taken aback by his words, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Be serious!" Only after a little while did Xu Suya say, staring at him.
"I am serious," Ge Shengming responded with a solemn face.
"Actually, I don't really mind whether she's pretty or not. The most important thing is that she has a kind heart," Xu Suya said softly as she leaned against Ge Shengming.
Outside the house, after Ge Dongxu finished his call with Jiang Lili, he discovered several missed calls on his phone.
They were from Liu Jiayao, Wu Yili, Nico, and Yuan Li, whom he hadn't seen for a long ti.
Ge Dongxu hurriedly called each of them back.
Fortunately, the couple Ge Shengming and Xu Suya inside the house were unaware that their son had been talking on the phone with several close female friends during his outing; otherwise, there's no telling what their reactions might have been.
…
Before dawn.
After the ringing of the midnight bell and the intense fireworks, the village had returned to its usual silence.
The only sounds that echoed through the night sky were the snowflakes rustling as they landed on the ground and perched on the treetops.
Ge Dongxu sat quietly in the yard, motionless. Snowflakes settled on him, covering his entire body and turning him into a snowman, seemingly unnoticed by him.
Inside his body, a trace of warmth and vitality was gradually flourishing, in stark contrast to the cold outside.
The vitality that had been sealed throughout the winter was now bubbling up like spring water from the Dantian, from the marrow, blood, and muscles, slowly erging and converging in the ridians, harboring the essence of spring and the continuously growing strength.
Thick accumulation leads to a sudden release!
A winter's worth of sealing seed to explode at this mont.
The purest strand of vitality that had just arisen between heaven and earth seed to sense the change within Ge Dongxu's body. Feeling his awakening, much like the awakening of the earth, it gathered towards him along with the spiritual energy of the surroundings, getting absorbed into his body.
The True Qi in the ridians gathered more and more, with the vitality growing increasingly dense.
The True Qi flowed from the Hand Taiyin Lung ridian to the Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner ridian.
