Tears filled her eyes as two drops of sparkling and translucent tears rolled down her sweet-looking cheek. The teardrops were blown onto the beach by the sea breeze. The scene was enough to break people's hearts.
She turned her head lightly as she used her hand to wipe off the warm tears. She suddenly let out a smile as she said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. My task is to supervise you to ensure you study hard and practice your martial arts. Tomorrow is Monday, so quickly head back to get some rest."
Ling Yun suddenly had a premonition that his mother's trip to Heavenly Mountain wasn't that simple. To make such a strong woman cry? This matter must not be simple at all.
"Aunty, when can my mother return?" Ling Yun asked faintly as though nothing happened.
Qin Dongxue replied, "She should be back within a month if everything goes smoothly. If there are any delays, it might take a while more…"
Ling Yun's heart sank because this was a society with airplanes. A to-and-fro flight would at most take three to five days. How far away was his mother? And why was she taking so long?
When Qin Dongxue saw that Ling Yun was still going to ask more questions, she said, "Alright, no more questions. I will slowly explain everything to you in the future. As long as Elder Sister isn't here, I won't leave Qingshui City."
Ling Yun nodded his head as he felt that this matter might not be as complicated as he imagined. After all, Qin Dongxue was his mother's birth sister. Given Qin Dongxue's temper, she would undoubtedly not be able to stay here if anything happened to his mother.
He took out another set of stealth clothes from his storage ring and draped them over Qin Dongxue's body. He told her, "Aunty, I have three places where you can stay. Where do you wish to stay?"
Qin Dongxue pointed towards the direction of Mansion Number Nine as she said, "I'll stay there. Sister did tell me that you've set up a peculiar killing array outside the mansions. She warned me not to barge my way through, so I will need you to lead the way."
Ling Yun didn't have the keys to Mansion Number Nine. The key was with Tie Xiaohu, but the killing array was set up by him. A shift of the massive rock on the left side of the mansion's entrance would turn off the Myriad Nine Slaughter Formation. It wouldn't affect their movements in and out of the mansion.
Very soon, Ling Yun and Qin Dongxue returned to Mansion Number Nine. Ling Yun lifted his leg to kick a rock that weighed a few hundred kilograms as he smiled and said, "This array is called the Myriad Nine Slaughter Formation. As long as you shift this rock to the side, the killing array will be broken. To reactivate it, all you need to do is place the rock back in the original position."
Qin Dongxue nodded in satisfaction as she looked amazed by Ling Yun's abilities. She was starting to understand how magical Ling Yun was, and she didn't know how to feel.
With the deactivation of the killing array, the entrance was naturally not going to stop the two of them from entering. They stepped in and arrived at the actual door of the mansion.
"Brat, you've renovated this place well! I like it!" The moment Qin Dongxue walked into the living room, she looked around in all four directions as she complimented the interior designs.
Qin Dongxue was a pearl in the palm of the incredible Qin Family. If she was satisfied, it meant that the designs of Mansion Number Nine must be really impressive.
"Which room is your mother staying in? I want to stay there!" After appreciating the beauty of the mansion, Qin Dongxue turned to ask Ling Yun.
Ling Yun brought Qin Dongxue to his mother's bedroom. Qin Dongxue pushed opened the door to enter before telling Ling Yun off. "Little brat, you aren't to enter this room without my permission. You aren't to use your abilities to listen or leave this place. Do you hear me?"
Ling Yun was speechless and could only smile and nod. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa to think about some matters.
With his current hearing abilities, there was no need for him to execute any skills. He was able to cover over a thousand square meters around his entire mansion. Very soon, she heard the trembling sound of someone removing their clothes.
Ling Yun knew that Qin Dongxue must be preparing for her shower. He couldn't help himself as the incredibly sexy naked body of Qin Dongxue suddenly appeared in his mind.
Aunty is really pretty… Ling Yun couldn't help but start thinking of all that.
Very soon, there was the splattering sound of water in the bedroom. The more Ling Yun listened to it, the more fretful he got. He stood up and left the living room as he started reciting the Clear Heart Technique in the courtyard before circulating his Stellar Condensation Technique.
After half an hour, Qin Dongxue was finally done with her shower. She put on Qin Qiuyue's clothes and walked out of the bedroom with her dripping wet hair.
"Ling Yun…" Qin Dongxue shouted as she walked casually to the entrance of the living room. She looked at the motionless Ling Yun in the courtyard.
Oh my god, this kid is glowing again… Eh? That glow is actually coming from the moon!
Qin Dongxue was so shocked that she almost became as still as a statue. She stopped everything she was doing as she stared blankly at Ling Yun. What kind of heaven-defying technique was this?
Ling Yun knew that Qin Dongxue was done, so he instantly stopped circulating his technique. He turned back and was equally as shocked!
The natural beauty of a hibiscus rising out of the clear water!
Qin Dongxue was about 175 cm tall, and she wore a butterfly print lace dress with short sleeves. Her incredible figure formed a perfect 'S' regardless of which angle one looked from. She had snowy skin, a bright forehead, gorgeous brows, hazy eyes, a sharp nose, cherry lips, towering breasts, and a thin waist. Even her skirt was the lacy type, and her snowy and long legs were brilliantly displayed beneath the skirt.
Qin Dongxue's fair and flexible arms were drying her head full of black hair, forming an immense contrast. Her black hair looked even blacker since her skin looked exceedingly fair!
With the night breeze, her half damp hair started dancing with the wind, which exuded her extraordinary beauty. She looked elegant no matter what she did like a fairy in a drawing!
Ling Yun knew that it would appear rude to stare at Qin Dongxue in this manner. However, he couldn't help himself because Qin Dongxue's devastating beauty made it too hard for him to look away. He would regret it for three years if he took one less glance at a beauty like this!
When the two of them were staring blankly, Ling Yun had already stopped his Stellar Condensation Technique. The glow on his body was no longer apparent. Qin Dongxue was the first to come back to her senses. She realized why Ling Yun was staring blankly and couldn't help but feel elated in her heart. However, she scolded Ling Yun. "Little brat, what are you staring at!"
"Staring at a beauty…" Ling Yun said whatever was on his mind as he was never a shy person. Since Qin Dongxue asked him, he answered honestly.
"Haha!" Qin Dongxue couldn't help but laugh when Ling Yun said that. Her smile was graceful as she walked over to Ling Yun and asked, "Is your aunty really very pretty?"
Ling Yun smiled as he nodded in a serious manner. "En, Aunty is really beautiful. Whoever says you're not beautiful definitely doesn't have any eyes on his face."
Qin Dongxue asked, "No eyes? Then what do they have?"
Ling Yun snickered as he replied, "Just holes… Haha…"
Qin Dongxue was in a good mood after hearing Ling Yun's joke and suddenly extended her hand to hold Ling Yun's face. She said with an intimate voice, "You're pretty good looking too. It's no wonder my sister is always praising you. You're actually such a handsome man!"
Ling Yun shook his head. He felt like he shouldn't stay here for much longer. He had to leave this place.
Almost every move and every expression displayed by Qin Dongxue dazed Ling Yun over and over again. If he tried to convince himself not to look at her, he found it difficult to shift his gaze away. If he tried to convince himself to look, his heart simply didn't feel right at all. He was completely unable to sit easy.
Qin Dongxue, on the other hand, didn't care all that much. Besides the time when Ling Yun stole her first kiss, which she kept dearly to herself for twenty-seven years, as well as the time when Ling Yun saw her wet body, she didn't much care about anything else.
"Ling Yun, don't you think you owe me a little something?" Qin Dongxue held onto Ling Yun's face and refused to let go, smiling.
Ling Yun had no idea that Qin Dongxue was claiming her debt from him, so he simply chuckled. "Little aunt, I believe that between the two of us, nobody owes each other anything. Feel free to take anything that you want, and I'll not have any hesitation at all!"
Ling Yun thought to himself that even if she wanted his Dragon Vein Sword, he would give it to her without thinking twice.
Qin Dongxue smiled satisfyingly and nodded. "That's more like it! Tell me, what technique were you cultivating earlier on? Why was your body able to attract the moonlight?"
Ling Yun understood from the moment she said that. His aunty was actually interested in his Stellar Condensation Technique. This was simple! Ling Yun even imparted this technique to Tie Xiaohu, so why wouldn't he teach Qin Dongxue?
"Aunty, this technique is called the Stellar Condensation Technique…"
Ling Yun explained to Qin Dongxue in detail about the Stellar Condensation Technique. She was so focused and excited during his explanation that her heart started beating quickly. She was no longer able to contain her excitement.
"So, can you teach me this technique?" Qin Dongxue stared Ling Yun in the eyes and even winked at him. This caused Ling Yun to be distracted and out of sorts.
Ling Yun suddenly wondered if Little White's transformation would turn her into someone as gorgeous as his little aunt.
He nodded his head. "Aunty, since you're interested in it, I'll explain more to you…"
Qin Dongxue was a top expert at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Three. She started learning martial arts from the day she was born, so her understanding and aptitude of cultivation naturally surpassed Tie Xiaohu. In addition to the fact that she was an exceptional talent, she only needed to listen once to understand everything.
"I see… Let me give it a go…" An enthusiastic Qin Dongxue tried to start cultivating immediately.
At this moment, Ling Yun was naturally not going to leave. He was afraid that something might happen to Qin Dongxue on her first attempt. If anything went wrong during her first attempt and he wasn't around, he would live to regret that!
Qin Dongxue tried to feel it once before starting officially. Without questioning Ling Yun's words, she followed everything Ling Yun said and tried to circulate the technique once. That was more than enough for her to realize the greatness and frightening potential of this technique!
Half an hour later, Qin Dongxue gradually entered her most productive state as she used one deep breath to reach the third minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique!
"Impressive, simply frightening! Wow!"
Qin Dongxue opened her eyes and relaxed her body before saying with shock, "Even the technique of the Thirteen Heroic Ones or the Golden Bell Canopy cannot be compared to this. Even Xiantian True Qi is nothing when put in front of this technique!"
Ling Yun smiled. "Aunty is truly impressive to be able to reach the third minor realm in such a short time. Indeed, Xiantian True Qi relies on the energy of the energy center. This technique allows the user to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and stars to enhance the user's skin, bones, muscles, and organs directly. The energy is able to reach places where True Qi cannot reach. Additionally, it can also increase a person's defense limitlessly. This is definitely not something the Golden Bell Canopy Technique can match!"
Qin Dongxue was undoubtedly elated, and she really wanted to give Ling Yun a kiss now. However, she managed to control her urge and said, "No wonder you're fine even after getting hit by Sun Tianbiao's elbows. Tell me, which minor realm are you in?"
Ling Yun chuckled as he said with embarrassment, "I'm only in the twelfth minor realm…"
"What! This… So fast!" Qin Dongxue was in disbelief, and her mouth was opened wide!
Qin Dongxue was already at Xiantian Realm Level Three and had attained the oneness of heaven and humanity. She relied on her body's Xiantian True Qi to charge into the third minor realm. However, when she tried her very best to break through to the fourth minor realm, she realized that she was greatly obstructed. In the time being, she knew she wouldn't be able to break through, so she stopped.
Ling Yun felt that it was already exceedingly frightening that she was able to reach the third minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique so quickly. The fact that she didn't have any spiritual energy in her body proved that she could only slowly cultivate it in the future…
Ling Yun predicted that besides Ning Lingyu with her Immortal Spiritual Body, it was impossible for anyone else with impressive talent or powerful physique to ever match his cultivation standard.
Qin Dongxue was in a daze for a long while before curling her alluring lips. She revealed an incredibly sweet smile before speaking to Ling Yun in a gentle tone. "Ling Yun, since you've reached the twelfth minor realm, why did you lie to me just now? Huh?"
Ling Yun knew that he was doomed. Earlier on, he pretended to be kicked and injured by his aunt and lied to her throughout the day. He even used her hand to help massage him, so now that she knew about the incredible effects of the Stellar Condensation Technique, how was he not doomed?
"Hehe, Aunty, you have to listen to me. I didn't lie to you… Ah!"
Just when Ling Yun was explaining himself, Qin Dongxue grabbed the flesh on his waist and pinched it real hard. She even warned him. "No using your Stellar Condensation Technique!"
Why would Ling Yun dare to do that at a time like this? He could only bear with the pain. After a while, it was enough to make Qin Dongxue's heart hurt, so she simply let him off.
Qin Dongxue released her hand and slapped him. "Alright, I shall let you off for now. But remember, never lie to me again!"
Ling Yun shouted that he wouldn't dare, but he was actually enjoying the treatment he received from Qin Dongxue. Dominant, fierce, treated him like a friend but still adored him very much.
In addition to that faint and unknown 'affair', Ling Yun was actually enjoying every bit of it.
In fact, he was overwhelmed!
"Little brat, I have one more issue I want to ask you about. This is a serious matter, so you have to answer me!"
Qin Dongxue suddenly stopped smiling as she looked at Ling Yun with a serious expression.
Ling Yun nodded with a smile when he saw how stern Qin Dongxue became.
Qin Dongxue lowered her voice and asked, "Tell me, how did you make your mother look ten years younger?"
"What…"
