How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 209: The Passage in Kongque Valley

Lin Xiaosu hugged her.

As his lips met hers, he held the Peacock Feather from her head.

Yixiang felt elated: "Brother, tie it around your sister’s wrist."

"That doesn’t seem right. Your mother might really scold us... How about I tie it around your neck instead?"

"Hmm, that works too. I’ll secretly be your sister without letting anyone know. Besides, I already have the bracelet you gave me on my wrist..." Yixiang raised her hand gently, and as her sleeve slipped down, it revealed the bracelet.

This bracelet had been kept at the bottom of her chest since she returned to the village, unseen by anyone.

But today, she wore it.

Because it was a gift from her brother.

The Peacock Feather was tied around her neck again.

Yixiang’s eyes were as enchanting as silk: "This Peacock Blanket, I embroidered it with my own hands. It was what we Miao people used when we first..."

"Such a clean blanket, it wouldn’t be good to get it dirty..."

"Naughty brother, it’s meant for you to get dirty..."

That night, Little Hu sat at the cave entrance, gazing into the distance.

That night, peacocks flew into the night sky, singing softly.

That night, the streams in Kongque Valley flowed endlessly, hard to return.

The night in the cave, the editor won’t let me write...

In the morning, when Lin Xiaosu woke up, Yixiang was already up, making a fire outside, roasting rabbit meat. There was also a small stainless steel kettle cooking something that smelled fresh and fragrant, likely some wild herbs from the valley.

From a distance, Lin Xiaosu heard her singing.

Her song was filled with joy...

Lin Xiaosu walked out of the cave and hugged Yixiang from behind.

Yixiang happily spun around, her lips warmly meeting his.

Little Hu watched with big, wide eyes.

"It seems like Little Hu doesn’t quite accept it," Lin Xiaosu chuckled softly.

"Little Hu, close your eyes!" Yixiang commanded.

Little Hu didn’t close its eyes but turned around, showing them its backside...

Both of them laughed...

After breakfast, Lin Xiaosu stared at Little Hu. Little Hu, with greasy paws, stared back at him; yes, Little Hu, like them, had eaten the roasted rabbit.

The only difference was, they didn’t eat the bones, but Little Hu devoured everything, meat and bones, leaving no trace.

"Little Hu!" Lin Xiaosu called out.

Little Hu rolled its eyes, as if to say, "Go ahead, get it over with..."

"Do you remember where you came from?" asked Lin Xiaosu.

Little Hu simply closed its eyes.

Yixiang spoke up: "Little Hu, brother is asking you, if you remember, lead us there..."

Little Hu opened its eyes and started taking small steps, turning back to check on them!

Lin Xiaosu’s heart raced as he pulled Yixiang along...

Little Hu led the way, with them following behind.

They nearly traversed the entire Kongque Valley. Yixiang almost lost track of the way back, but she didn’t care, as long as brother and Little Hu were with her...

Moreover, in the latter half of the journey, she was completely nestled in brother’s arms.

The daytime sky was dotted with clouds, deep blue within the white...

She looked at brother’s face, her heart overwhelmed with confusion...

Last night, she was with brother in a way she couldn’t describe...

Throughout, she was filled with surprise, joy, and shyness, her whole being and heart consumed by it...

At this moment, she took a nap.

She fell asleep.

Lin Xiaosu, following Little Hu, climbed mountains and crossed ridges, traversing the entire Kongque Valley.

Up ahead, Little Hu stopped.

It sat on a cliff, looking like a weary traveler long away from home...

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze lifted, his heart pounding...

He saw the Array Patterns!

On a mountain opposite, halfway up, was a stone wall.

While nothing could be seen with the naked eye, Lin Xiaosu’s Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye revealed the Array Patterns.

Patterns that were the same in origin as the great sealing array seen beneath Ning City and the stone tower on Old Tashan...

The Array Patterns were damaged!

"Little Hu, did you come from there?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Little Hu nodded slightly.

It was its first direct response to Lin Xiaosu.

Yixiang woke up in his arms: "Brother, what are you planning to do?"

Lin Xiaosu’s lips met hers, and Yixiang’s cheeks blushed, while Little Hu rolled its eyes nearby...

Lin Xiaosu chuckled lightly: "Yixiang, how about I write a few words on that stone wall?"

"Huh? It’s so high and steep... What are you going to write?"

"I’ll write ’Lin Xiaosu and Yixiang were here!’"

Lin Xiaosu set Yixiang down, his figure soared, stepping into the void, and with the next move, he tapped the tree top, landing beneath the stone wall.

Yixiang’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Little Hu, isn’t brother so romantic?"

Little Hu pouted disdainfully.

"Nod!" Yixiang extended her hand, pressing its little head to force a nod...

Lin Xiaosu leaped again, scaling the stone wall with graceful precision.

Yixiang was delighted: "Brother is amazing, isn’t he, Little Hu!"

Little Hu... shook its head.

Yixiang caught it: "I taught you, when you agree, nod, don’t shake your head! Come on, nod!"

She pressed it to nod again.

Little Hu bared its teeth, as if to say something.

"Little Hu, will you like brother in the future?"

Little Hu was about to shake its head but finally stopped, neither shaking nor nodding...

Yixiang pressed its head to nod.

"That’s settled then, in the future, just like me, you’ll do whatever brother says, okay?"

Little Hu’s eyes flashed, and finally... it nodded!

It probably realized, no matter what, shaking or not nodding would be futile, better to go with the flow to avoid her hands on it...

Yixiang was thrilled, hugging Little Hu, watching as her brother showcased his prowess on the cliff.

In her eyes, brother was performing for her, just like a peacock displaying its feathers to win the heart of its mate...

Brother was the most extraordinary man, his display was not just about his charm but his skills.

On that smooth stone wall, he showed her his superhuman grace.

He even took out a bronze pen, ready to carve their names on the stone wall...

At that moment, it marked their most beautiful memory together.

It imprinted the glory of the previous night.

She could never have imagined; Lin Xiaosu was not showing off in the slightest.

His task had no frills.

At that moment, he forgot everything, entering another world called the Array Path...

In the world of the Array Path, Lin Xiaosu was just beginning.

Several transcendental displays were actually elevations under special conditions...

Entering and exiting Array Sect’s forbidden area wasn’t due to his deep array knowledge but because of the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye that allowed him to see the Array Patterns.

Breaking the Shenghua Valley sealing array was because breaking it was a hundred times easier than creating one; building an array required a holistic approach, breaking it only needed to break a point.

Re-closing the Ning City underground array was because its main structure was complete, only a tiny part was damaged. By comparing it with the main structure, repairing the residual was not particularly difficult.

Today’s situation was more complex than before.

This array was severely damaged.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaosu had seen the complete sealing array, which was largely the same as the array before him, at least eighty percent identical.

Despite that, the remaining twenty percent difference put his Human Tao Orchid Heart under pressure.

The basic theories of arrays, the countless variations, the interconnections...

He weaved in and out of the array patterns on the stone wall, while his Human Tao Orchid Heart operated at high speed...

An hour, two hours...

Finally, as the noon sun rose, Lin Xiaosu made sense of it all...

With the bronze pen in his hand, he directed the Five Elements Qi, traversing the stone wall, embodying seven different trajectories. When the pen reached its end, all the broken lines were mended.

The sealing array was thus completed.

A late-blooming flower floated down from the stone wall, a direct testament to the array’s completion, changing the patterns.

Lin Xiaosu turned and stepped off the cliff, catching the flower before it hit the ground, and returned to Yixiang’s side.

He raised the flower to her nose: "Smell it, fragrant?"

Yixiang cupped the flower, taking a deep breath: "So fragrant... Brother, I’ll keep this flower in my bamboo house, and it won’t wither for a hundred years."

"Really? You can make it last a hundred years?" Lin Xiaosu was astonished.

Yixiang’s eyes were as enchanting as silk: "Come back in a few months and see."

"A flower that never withers, I suppose it would be called Yixiang..." Lin Xiaosu said.

"Can this Yixiang flower let brother come and smell it often?"

"Definitely!"

Yixiang was delighted, holding Lin Xiaosu’s hand, spinning around the cliff.

Little Hu was worried nearby, fearing its unreliable master might fall off the cliff.

As they spun, Lin Xiaosu glanced at the opposite cliff, grateful in his eyes.

Little Hu also watched the cliff, its inner thoughts unknown...

That was its origin.

That was theoretically its home.

But now, it couldn’t return.

Still, in this world, it had found its home...

Lin Xiaosu’s task was done; he should be leaving Kongque Valley.

But Yixiang, having tasted such intimacy, was reluctant to leave.

So, there was another night.

That night, Yixiang was no longer nervous or reserved, only filled with emotions, flowing with the spring water through Kongque Valley...

On the third day, dawn had broken.

The peacock had already flown up.

Yixiang clung to Lin Xiaosu’s neck, reluctant to get up...

"Is it time to go back today?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes." That was why she was lazing in bed.

"I’ll come back to see the flowers on your bamboo house..." Lin Xiaosu kissed her.

Yixiang responded sweetly, for a long time: "Brother, remember your words."

"Don’t worry, I will definitely remember."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you down Qingjiang River..."

Through Kongque Valley, back on the path.

On Qingjiang, a bamboo raft, Yixiang poling the raft downstream, bringing Lin Xiaosu to the boundary of Taichong.

They hugged, kissed, patted Little Hu’s head...

Reluctantly, Yixiang poled the raft back, the small bamboo raft drifting away in the river, and her song echoed in the wind...

"In the thousand-year-old Miao Village, I waited for a thousand years, my brother from dreams, now by my side. Our bamboo house marks today’s meeting, and starlight sends away yesterday’s sorrow. Will my brother remember tomorrow, the fragrance of the flowers in the small courtyard..."
