Two days later….
Hill house courtyard….
Zhang Qinfeng came in from the bathroom he was just washed away and cleanse himself from a task he finished.
And his aunt was alone looking at the hill view.
“You are really hard working aren’t you?”
Luo Qingxi said.
During this days she has seen even though he had those marrow potions, Zhang Qinfeng hasn’t stopped going hunting.
“I have to, I’m happy your relationship with mom has smoothen.”
Zhang Qinfeng said.
The initial tense and awkward between his mom and Luo Qingxi have been washed away.
And since two days ago it could be said it had become warm.
Luo Qingxi look at him and hesitated.
“Nephew you know….back theb when your mom was pregnant with you. I ask her to get rid of you…. instead of supporting her. I threatened her that if she did not get rid of you I wouldn’t care about her.”
Luo Qingxi confessed with a sigh.
Zhang Qinfeng finally knew why things were so tense on that first meeting. And why he hasn’t learned about this aunt of his before.
“I see….”
Zhang Qinfeng said while looking at the acres.
“I hope you don’t blame me, it wasn’t until I got Meng Qing that I learned how awful it might be. Even though sometimes I don’t feel regret.”.
Luo Qingxi said seriously.
“You don’t have to, and I don’t blame you aunt. I’m pretty sure you were thinking about her future. This is a ruthless world, and she was just 23 years old starting her path. I’m pretty sure you did not want her cultivation and life to be jeopardize.”
Zhang Qinfeng said sincerely.
Why would he resent her? He understood what is to want the best for your loved ones.
“You….your a particular one aren’t you.”
Luo Qingxi was genuinely surprised.
“Nothing, aunt it was pleasure to meet you I hope you have a safe journey.”
Zhang Qinfeng came to her give her a deep hug.
Luo Qingxi whole body stiffened but it quickly relax.
“Good, take care of your mom and if you ever are in danger. Try to reach the oblivion city okay.”
Luo Qingxi patted his back.
She has seen this nephew of her is very affectionately with Luo Ninshuang, making her feel a little jealousy.
Such a connection would be great with her daughter, but that girl is way to stiff like her dad. She even wonder if she should try and get a boy? But then she dismissed that at her age?
She better not slack to see if she can reach the legendary Houtian Realm.
“Hey…”
Luo Ninshuang came and said.
The three of them chatted before Zhang Qinfeng and Luo Ninshuang bid farewell to her.
Zhang Qinfeng could feel his mom was kind of sad for so he give a kiss with a small hug before going back to his room.
……..
Late that night…..
Hill House bathroom….
Zhang Qinfeng was on the bathtub medicine, circulating the qi gathering technique.
During this days he had adapted and familiarize himself with his quick progress, he also reconfirm there’s no best way to adapt to your cultivation progress.
Tham on the “battle field” in the mozhi forest where you in constant danger fighting and using your full potential to survive.
Zhang Qinfeng aura has been slowly climbing up, while his marrow bones were greedily using the potions to improve themselves.
His aura finally climb up making the water on the bathtub start spilling to the floor.
Bang!
Breakthrough!
Marrow tempering realm late stage!
5 mins later….
Zhang Qinfeng open his and smile while clenching his fists!
“Finally…..”
Zhang Qinfeng said trying to supress the excitement on his heart.
How could he not? He was once step away from the blood escence realm!
Once he reach that realm he would be more than secure. Without saying the amount of spirit stones he can get on tasks!
…….
“Congratulations you feng’er.”
Luo Ninshuang said with genuine happiness.
At least now for his hunting four stars monster shouldn’t be that much in danger, and also be able to complete them moothly.
“Mom we need to talk.”
Zhang Qinfeng look up his mom and said seriously.
Luo Ninshuang was stunned but nodded.
“Tell me.”
Luo Ninshuang said.
Zhang Qinfeng did not ask immediately but instead went and took her and sat down.
“I’s there something bothering you? Is there’s something? Did something happen during the time you exchange the blood lotuses for the middle grade spirit stones?
Zhang Qinfeng ask seriously.
Every since she came back from that day he had felt it.
Something is going wrong but he couldn’t know what.
“Did you aunt told you about the oblivion city?”
Luo Ninshuang did no tell truth instead she evade it.
She did not want her son for now to know about the two guys or how she categorized them “two b1tches” who were intimidating her for her skill.
“Yeah, but i know you must have declined she also suggested how many opportunities were there.”
Zhang Qinfeng nodded.
“Well yeah, but what do you think?”
Luo Ninshuang ask.
“Well to be honest I feel isn not that easy or at least not for now. We right now I believe have a good environment for ourselves. I don’t know how big the world is out there but on here you have kind of control of our situation.”
Zhang Qinfeng give his initial views.
“And…”
Luo Ninshuang look at her son curiously.
“Well at least for until I grow up in strength, and can do some hunting at your level or barely do some adventures with you mom, small towns like this one can bring me a perfect in between sharpening and not so risky place to grow up until I grow my wings.”
Zhang Qinfeng said seriously.
“While on the oblivion city no matter how many opportunities there are, if your too weak is of no used. And if your not careful it might even dragg you into a dangerous situation.”
Zhang Qinfeng finalized and look at her mom glowing eyes.
After all it was obvious on the oblivion city there would definitely be stronger people. And if someone wants to benefit from being in the city.
He at least need to have some sort of strength, if not why would Shen Jia dare not go out until she reach the blood escence realm?
Plus he also did not want his mom to be dragged over there by him.
“Same thinking feng’er.”
Luo Ninshuang sigh at her son, she had the same toughts.
This place was a perfect environment for they safety until he grows ups. And it would have been kept like that if it weren’t for those two guys.
She was in a stalemate, how much she wish she could cut they head off.
Even though she was supposedly could give them the skill she had many worries.
One what if they attack her to kill her, after all if she were on they shoes. There’s now way she would leave behind problems that might catch up to her later on.
Weirdly they haven’t bother her yet as if they were waiting for something.
She even had the idea of running away with Zhang Qinfeng go to another place. But she was still wary, what if she get caught in the middle would her son life be jeopardize?
She did not ask for her or told anything about to Luo Qingxi.
She would not dragged her sister on this muddy waters.
…..
2 days passed….
“Are you serious Ja Gu?”
Zhang Qinfeng ask with a worried face.
“Yes… your mom might be in danger, there’s two seniors at the qi gathering on the 7th level. My sister before leaving told they were trying to get a sort of growing rice skill in here. So it might be senior luo….”
Ja Gu did not continue.
But Zhang Qinfeng understood, her sister is a powerful Qi Gathering cultivator and had come visit her.
And later found to familiar people from the same city, or to be precise some relatives of certain people she is familiar with.
“Thank Ja Gu.”
Zhang Qinfeng said before hurrying to finish closing the store.
Ja Gu look at his back and sigh.
Shen Jia and the rest of the group just stay on silent while looking at Zhang Qinfeng back in a complicated way.
Not because of his cultivation but because this time his mom might really be in danger.
…….
Zhang Qinfeng closed the door and was not paying attention to anything, he was lost in tought trying to wreck his toughts on what to do.
“The only way is to leave, yeah we must leave quietly.”
Zhang Qinfeng tought seriously when he suddenly felt a deep chill behind.
“Why so lost?”
A female voice sounded in a cold tone.
Swoosh!
Clang!
Zhang Qinfeng had used his sword to block the incoming attack but he was send rolling.
“Cough..cough..”
Zhang Qinfeng look up in panic and figure with a mask was standing in front of him, clearly with killing intent.
“Ha, now wonder they felt your pretty tough. Is time for you to paid certain price, you I like those three they made me a lot of money.”
The female said.
“Are you the gangster who put that mission a time ago?”
Zhang Qinfeng ask while he was trying to find a way to bypass her and go towards his mom direction.
He felt his left hand dislocated with paind and that was just for barely blocking her attack.
This female gangster was at the blood escence realm!
“Hehehe, I know your tought but it won’t work, and yes im.”
The female gangster said with a smile and without talking nonsense she rush towards Zhang Qinfeng.
“Mom this woman is trying to kill quick!”
But even so thanks to his many dangerous situation Zhang Qinfeng he acted out.
The female expression change and she look back. But there was no one just passerbies not wanting to get involved.
“You!”
The female gangster became furious but saw Zhang Qinfeng back running.
…….
30 mins later…
“Wait until I trap you gonna beg me.”
The female gangster said with anger.
She has been trying to trap Zhang Qinfeng but he was very smart.
From throwing her powder to even evading her attacks and using small talsimand to attack her.
Or throwing swords, and armors at her which had delay her.
