Chapter 319 Bold Heart Sauce

Seemingly sensing Jing Chen's gaze, she looked up at him with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Jing Chen shook her head. "No, my heart is always so gentle."

Feeling a little embarrassed, Jing Chen stood up, stretched, and said, "Um... thank you for cutting my hair today. It's a rare moment of leisure."

When Jing Chen stood up, Xin stood up too. Standing together, Xin was actually a head shorter than Jing Chen. When they stood together, Jing Chen always had to look down at Xin.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xin?" Jing Chen asked, somewhat puzzled, as Xin stood up as well.

Xin tiptoed slightly, and Jing Chen's words, which he was about to say, were abruptly cut off, leaving the entire greenhouse silent. Jing Chen was shocked; he never imagined things would turn out this way. After a long while, Xin finally stood back down, quietly facing Jing Chen with her hands behind her back, her face slightly flushed as she looked at him.

Jing Chen was completely stunned. He never expected Xin to be so bold! Seemingly feeling shy and embarrassed, Xin slowly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

Jing Chen asked, "Do you know the real meaning behind this action?"

Xin nodded slightly. "Ling Er often talks about it, saying it's something she can only do with the most important person... I know that for Jing Chen, the most important person is Ling Er... but Jing Chen is the most important person to me..."

Listening to Xin's words, Jing Chen gradually fell silent, and memories of the past kept resurfacing in his mind.

Previously, after Jing Chen was brainwashed, he was a soul entity, viewing the world from a godlike perspective. While Zero was unaware, Jing Chen had always noticed a gaze watching her from the shadows. At the time, Jing Chen didn't pay it any mind. That gaze didn't seem particularly dangerous, so he didn't pay much attention. The only thing he was certain of then was that the gaze belonged to a little girl. Why did Jing Chen suddenly remember something from so long ago? The reason is simple: seeing Xin today, Jing Chen realized that those eyes that had been watching him constantly were actually Xin's.

Jing Chen smiled slightly, reaching out a hand to lift Xin's chin, making her look up at him. Seeing Xin's flushed face, Jing Chen couldn't help but smile. This smile made Xin's face turn even redder. Jing Chen leaned closer and said to Xin, "Kissing isn't like this. Kissing... it should be like this..."

……

"Zhou Lang also had a fever last week, probably a childhood fever. A lot has changed since that battle, the environment, and life." Jing Chen said as he walked with Ling Er on the path.

Halfway through her sentence, Ling Er suddenly turned around and walked towards a tree by the roadside. Jing Chen stopped, somewhat puzzled, while Ling Er stared intently at the small flower buds on the treetop.

"Those are cherry blossom buds," Jing Chen said with a smile.

Ling Er asked with some doubt, "Cherry blossoms? What kind of flowers will they bloom?"

"What kind?" Jing Chen was a little stumped by the question. He had never actually seen cherry blossoms before. However, although he had never seen real cherry blossoms, they still had some influence in his mind. He said to Ling Er, "Flowers with a color as beautiful as Ling Er's hair."

Ling Er smiled sweetly, looked at her hair, then looked up at the little flower bud on her head, and said expectantly, "I'm really looking forward to it."

Jing Chen stood beside Ling Er, looked up at the flower buds above, and asked, "Ling Er, how do you feel about your life now?"

Ling Er said, "I'm very happy."

"Don't you find it inconvenient?" Jing Chen asked.

Zero Two shook his head and said, "Not at all, I even think it would be better if it continued like this."

Jing Chen smiled helplessly, but what Ling Er said was indeed the truth; things were actually quite good as they were. "I also think it's pretty good this way. Although there's some unease or something, there's an interest and excitement in new things."

Suddenly remembering something, Ling Er said to Jing Chen, "Ah, I made plans to take a shower with everyone."

Jing Chen smiled but didn't say anything. Ling Er tilted her head and said, "Don't peek, Darling."

After parting ways with Zero Two, Jing Chen looked up at the sky and took out the piece of red steel he had obtained in the Heavenly Descendant Dimension from his system space. Looking at the steel, an idea suddenly struck him. This piece of red steel could be considered a divine artifact material in some low-level dimensions, but frankly, it wouldn't be very useful in higher-level dimensions. After pondering for a while, Jing Chen opened the system shop. After searching for a long time, he finally found something he liked: meteorite iron.

Meteorite iron and red steel seem to have little connection, but when combined with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique that Jing Chen had secretly learned in Douluo Continent, and further improved by the system...

Jing Chen could guarantee that he could forge a weapon that would be ridiculously powerful even in the world of cultivation in a short time. Jing Chen turned and entered the teleportation portal to begin forging his first weapon, one that he had created independently.

……

"Did you guys see that? Jing Chen's hair." Future asked the others while washing Zero Two's hair.

Hearing Future's words, Kokoro was somewhat shocked. She stared blankly at Future, who was looking at her with a half-smile. Seeing Kokoro's expression, Future understood, and her laughter grew even more unrestrained. "So it really was Kokoro who cut it for him, wasn't it?" she said.

Kokoro gave an awkward smile, unsure how to answer Kokoro's question about the future. Of the five girls, only Yuuko didn't go swimming in the river. Sitting on a rock by the river, Yuuko said to Kokoro, "It actually suits you quite well."

While washing her hair, Zero Two suddenly saw fish in the river and became excited, wanting to pounce on them. But Mirai immediately held Zero Two down, saying, "I said, don't move!"

Ling Er was pressed back down, and happily said with a smile, "Okay~"

"But it's really beautiful hair," Mirai said.

Ling Er said, "Darling just said my hair color looks good, and that the flower with the same color as mine is about to bloom!"

In the future, he'd pour a bucket of cold water on Zero Two's head and say, "Do you guys always say such embarrassing things?"

Suddenly, Zero Two stood up and said to Mirai, "You really dare to splash me." With that, she tackled Mirai to the ground. The splashing water accidentally injured her heart, and even Ikuno, who was sitting on the rock, was not spared.

The three of them stood there, looking helplessly at Future and Zero Two who were playing around.

"Really..."
