XDTH Chapter 21: Warm and Affectionate

Unedited

With the light blue mist floating around, it seemed like having a milk bath in the lotus pool, and that, somehow, weaves a gauzy dream.

A very beautiful young lady in white clothes was sitting by the lake. Her black hair was pulled up into a ponytail. In front of her was a table made from jade, on it was a purple Chinese instrument. The young lady’s red lips were slightly open as she plucked the strings with her delicate and fair fingers.

“春来早清梦扰楼台小聚诵今朝

又何妨布衣青山坳

月如腰琴指蹈醉时狂歌醒时笑

莫辜负青春正年少

千金不换伊人回眸金步摇

眉间朱砂点绛秋水蒿

浆声灯影流连处青杏尚小

羞闻夜深海棠花娇

空自恼夕阳好前尘往事随风飘

恬淡知幸福的味道

霜鬓角难预料尤记昨日忆今宵

却不知岁月催人老

拄杖南山为把柴扉轻轻敲

白发新见黄口旧知交

对饮东篱三两盏何妨轻佻

把酒问月姮娥可好”[1]

Liu er saw her little maser playing the zither from afar, came closer and sat down. She then closed her eyes and enjoyed the song. Ever since she sent Ling Xiao and Xiewu into the beast forest five years ago, she would play one song on the zither every month. This timing every month would then become the most comfortable time in the Jun household. The young miss music is always so pleasant to listen to.

“赢也好输也好自古难料

不如布衣青山坳

喜也好悲也好醉时狂歌醒时笑

不辜负青春正当年少

悲也好醉也好大梦一场全忘掉

白也好黑也好都是有缘聚

思前想后即使无聊

怕只怕孤独醉人倒”[1]

Singing wildly while drunk or laughing when awake[2]. Such a state of mind, such wildness, how could anyone have this except for my young miss?

Only afraid of being alone and intoxicated[2]. How could my lady be lonely, family, friends, my lady has been blessed with them. No one would abandon her.

“千金不换伊人回眸金步摇

眉间朱砂点绛秋水蒿

浆声灯影流连处青杏尚小

何时红了樱桃

拄杖南山为把柴扉轻轻敲

白发新见黄口旧知交

对饮东篱三两盏何妨轻佻

把酒问月姮娥可好

金缕一曲羡煞尘嚣”——(《金缕衣》董贞)[1]

After the song ended, the Jun household was still in comfortable silence. Everyone was still immersed in Xiebing’s wild and wonderful voice. This person is the princess of the Jun family! She, who is just like a goddess, is a member of the Jun household!

Xiebing stood up gently, lifted her eyes, which were full of life, and looked towards the lake, the wind gently blowing, exposing her temples. Her skin looked so delicate and smooth like jade and her lips were red as a cherry. The two strands of hair framing the side of her hair moved with the wind, brushing against her cheeks and her wise eyes seeing all around them. A little mischievous, a little playful, fitting into her white dress, the waist of the dress barely touching her skin. What a beauty, so flawless!

Unrivalled beauty! Matchless beauty! Surprising everyone living under the skies!

The corners of Xiebing’s lips lifted up, time flies, I’m 15 years old already. Just received Ling Xiao’s report, admission to the Oscar institution is starting soon. As per the rules, only 15 years old and above can apply for the school. Are Hua Chenyi and Beiyan Feng applying as well?

And that other bunch of kids… Xiebing cannot help but smile once she thought about them. All 48 of them were taught by Xiebing. When they came out of the beast forest, they were thin and looked embarrassed but had excited smiles and determined eyes.

They silently told Xiebing, we succeeded, we are not trash, we are qualified to be your subordinates!

The moment they saw Xiebing nodding her head, the whole group collapsed. They have persevered and their perseverance has been acknowledged by their master, but… now… can’t really hold on already…

After that Xiebing has arranged for them to train in various physical training and exercises during the day and during the night, training their spiritual powers in the jade ring. This has been continuing for 5 years.

After that 5 years, Xiebing sent 2 to 3 of them away on missions. They didn’t know where they were and what they did. They only knew that once they woke up, they were in a different place with 1 to 2 of their friends and a piece of paper stating their mission.

As for Lingxiao and Xiewu, they were sent by Xiebing to their own individual missions, and these past 5 years, each of their missions has its merits.

In a blink of an eye, 10 years have passed[3]… Xiebing recollected her thoughts as she turned and looked at Liu er who was walking towards her.

“Young miss, it’s now dinner time, everyone is waiting for you.” Liu er said, smiling at Xiebing. Even though she has been looking after the young miss since she was young, every single time she still looks at her in a daze. If young miss was to go to the mainland, the boys there will definitely go crazy over her.

“En, thank you sister Liu er, I will go over now.” Xiebing smiled at Liu er warmly. Xiebing has always felt thankful toward sister Liu er who has been taking care of her since she was small. Because of her relationship with Xiebing, Liu er has become a level one spirit saint and who could have thought that this elegant lady would become a strong spirit saint?

Xiebing saw grandfather, father, uncle, mother and aunt already waiting for her in the front hall. Her eyes started to warm up when she saw the table was filled with her favourite dishes. My brothers and sisters are all studying at Oscar institution, the only person left was me, and now, I too am about to leave…

“Grandfather, uncle, father, mother, aunt, Bing er is late,” Xiebing said, sitting in her chair.

“It’s fine, we have also just arrived, quickly, and eat while it’s hot.” As soon as Grandfather Jun Canghai saw his precious granddaughter sit, he immediately served some food into her bowl.

Everyone was filled with emotions as they observed Xiebing who has transformed from a small doll to a slim young lady.

Liu Suning did not stop serving dishes to her daughter with eyes filled with love for her daughter and yet deep within her was feelings of reluctance. All these years have not left a trace on this elegant lady.

Even the narcissistic father, Jun Ruotian, could not feel happy. How could he be happy, his talented daughter is leaving soon.

Uncle Jun Ruohai looked at her with a gentle smile and served her favourite dish.

Her aunt was almost in tears. Her son and daughter have left for a long time already, only coming back occasionally, and now little Bing er is also leaving home.

This meal, even though it was such a warm meal, was surrounded by sadness. Because they knew, Bing er is now 15 years old, she is going to study in Oscar institution, she is leaving home…

Xiebing understood that her family was not excited for her to leave home, and she too was sad.

“Bing er is only going to school, besides with my skill, no one can bully me! Please do not worry.” Xiebing joked with a cheerful laugh.

“Pffft…” everyone smiled at Xiebing’s cuteness, dispersing the sadness in the air.

“You, so playful, you can’t be so mischievous when you leave home, understand?” Xiebing’s mother said, tapping on Xiebing’s head.

“Haha, this is my daughter, who dares to bully her?” Jun Ruotian is still so narcissistic, 10 years have passed yet he is still the same.

“En, and with how pretty Bing er is, once she enters the mainland, all the boys there will go crazy for her.” Xiebing’s uncle teased.

“Exactly, father, then, we will have to build a stronger threshold, don’t let the ones asking for her hand in marriage break it.” her gentle aunt followed up from her husband’s teasing.

“Hahaha, that’s enough, Bing er’s face is all red, continue eating…” Jun Canghai’s heart stung when he saw his precious granddaughter feeling so embarrassed.

Honestly, I am very thick-skinned, how can these words make me feel shy?

I just… really can’t bear… can’t bear to leave these warm feelings behind.
