Fairy, help me practice

　However, Chen Yao could see her bitterness. A little girl of only a few years old actually knew so many skills to survive in the wild. It was obvious how much the child had suffered before she met them.

　So he walked over to Ling Hong and touched her little head.

　Ling Hong turned around and smiled sweetly at him: "I'm about to build the dam!"

　Unexpectedly, Chen Yao kicked down the dam she had built with great difficulty.

　"Big brother! You! You're annoying!"

　Ling Hong stomped her feet in anger.

　Chen Yao picked her up and gently placed her on a large bluestone in the middle of the stream.

　"We are sword immortals, and sword immortals naturally have their own way of catching fish."

　He shook his hand, and two drops of water flew out from the sword bracelet on his wrist and flew into the stream.

　After a while, the water level in the stream surged, forming a transparent curtain of water in the air.

　The water curtain was filled with frightened fish wagging their tails.

　"You can pick which ones you want to eat."

　Ling Hong had never seen such a magical scene before. She opened her mouth in surprise and soon started pointing excitedly.

　Following her instructions, the fish in the water curtain automatically jumped into a basket made of water next to her.

　"Big brother, this is fun! Look at that one, it's red! Hmm... this one is good too, but it seems there are two small fish next to it. It must be mom! I'll let you go..."

　In this way, the little girl picked and chose for an entire afternoon and finally filled the fish basket.

　The two of them started a fire and began to grill the fish.

　After eating, Chen Yao looked at Ling Hong patting her belly contentedly and said with a gentle smile, "Life must have been very hard before!"

　Ling Hong shook her head like a rattle. "No, before, I slept in caves, picked up vegetable leaves and leftovers, and was caught by bad guys and beaten and scolded. I also felt it was difficult. But since I met you, I understand that the hardships before were all accumulating blessings for me, so I met the big brothers and big sisters!"

　Chen Yao smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond to her words.

　Is it true that there is always bitterness before sweetness? Does God really have eyes? Or, in other words, does God really exist?

　"However, since I have met you, even if God doesn't care about you, I will. From now on, you will never have to suffer so much again."

　"Ok!"

　Ling Hong nodded repeatedly: "I know!"

　As she spoke, her eyes rolled. "Big Brother, as the saying goes, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. One day, I'll be able to travel the world on my own like my brothers and sisters! Can you... hey, teach me that sword technique you used to catch fish just now?"

　Chen Yao laughed: "You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you want to run? First, finish your one-hour breathing exercise today."

　Ling Hong pouted, held her feet obediently, and clumsily assumed a cross-legged sitting position with her five hearts facing upwards, and began to pretend breathing.

　After a while, she sighed.

　"Oh, dizzy."

　Chen Yao was too lazy to pay attention to her.

　After a while, she staggered.

　"Ah, my butt hurts."

　Chen Yao whistled.

　Ling Hong glanced at Chen Yao angrily, then sat down to meditate and breathe obediently.

　An hour passed slowly amid the sound of insects chirping in the creek.

　Ling Hong let out a long breath and spread her legs which had already gone numb.

　"Big brother, my legs are numb...I won't lie to you this time."

　Chen Yao then went over, held her two little feet, and injected spiritual energy into her to help her relax her muscles and joints.

　Ling Hong looked at him quietly.

　Chen Yao let go of his hand.

　"Big brother."

　"Ok?"

　"Ling Hong also likes you, and Ling Hong also wants to be your daughter-in-law."

　Chen Yao tapped her forehead: "What do you know, little brat? Go to sleep!"

　He stood up to leave, but Ling Hong grabbed his arm and hung her up.

　"Ling Hong is scared, big brother, can you hold me while I sleep?"

　Chen Yao observed her expression carefully and didn't realize that she was lying.

　"Do you want to go back to the cave?"

　Ling Hong shook her head: "My eldest sister is in seclusion, I'm not familiar with those two sisters..."

　So that was why she insisted on going out for a walk.

　Chen Yao laughed: "Okay!"

　He had no choice but to hold the little thing in his arms and sleep.

　Ling Hong lay tightly in his arms, a smile full of security on her lips.

　Chen Yao shook his head, thinking, "It hasn't happened yet, and I've already given my senior sister a daughter to raise..."

　"Big brother……"

　"what happened again?"

　Ling Hong opened one eye, stretched out a small hand, and pinched her index finger and thumb: "Can I make a small request?"

　"What?"

　"My two sisters both have sword bracelets... I want the same one, big brother said! You have to eat one bite at a time. Big brother, can you help me find a good twig? Not too long, just straight and strong. I'll put it on my waist to remind me that I will become a sword immortal too."

　Chen Yao sighed and covered her eyes: "Go to sleep, I will carve a wooden sword for you tomorrow."

　"Really?"

　"If you don't sleep, it will be fake."

　Ling Hong quickly pretended to be asleep.

　But she knew in her heart that her older brother would not refuse to carve a small wooden sword for her.

Chapter 337 Mother, Daughter, and Uninvited Guests

　"Whoa!"

　"Shhhhhh!"

　"Boohoo!"

　Ling Hong was holding a green wooden sword carved for her by Chen Yao, and she kept making "swish" gestures with her mouth. Wherever she went, she would cause a great commotion.

　The rabbits, squirrels and pheasants in the mountains suffered.

　The small animals and birds in the forest were fluttering and fleeing in all directions.

　Chen Yao looked at Ling Hong jumping around and waving the stick in her hand, and smiled kindly.

　Ling Hong frowned and pouted, then turned around and said, "Big brother, why can't I catch any of them?"

　She stomped on her little red embroidered shoes, very annoyed.

　陈遥

　He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you hitting them? You've only been breathing for a few days, and you're already emitting sword energy?"

　"Hmm..." Ling Hong turned her head while shaking her pigtails, followed by "whoosh whoosh".

　About half a day later, the two climbed to the highest point of Qingfeng.

　Ling Hong was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.

　Chen Yao deliberately ignored her, but she was stubborn and followed him step by step, leaning on her wooden sword.

　After walking for a while, Chen Yao sat down on a large bluestone protruding from the cliff.

　Ling Hong cheered up, and with the wooden sword in her arms, she ran to his side with all her remaining strength and sat down.

　"Uh!"

　Because he sat down too hard, her little butt trembled and Ling Hong couldn't help but hum.

　Chen Yao looked at her with a smile.

　Ling Hong wanted to be angry with her elder brother who ignored her all the way, but when she saw his smiling face, she couldn't be angry.

　So she became a little annoyed with herself, puffing out her cheeks and saying, "How come I can't even compare to them!"

　"Who?"

　"It's them! Lu Dan and Lu Qing, who were imprisoned with the bad guys along with me! They can hit things far away. Hmm..." Ling Hong slumped her shoulders in anger. "But after Big Sister brought me out of there, Big Brother also beat the bad guys to death. I'll never have the chance to see them again. There's no point in comparing now, right, Big Brother?"

　Chen Yao reached out and touched her little head. "Comparison is meaningless. Comparison won't bring any substantial help to our practice or life. Instead, it will make us restless and irritable, which is not worth the effort. Everyone just needs to compare themselves with yesterday's self."

　Ling Hong tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Today I have a small wooden sword made by big brother, so today I am one step closer to becoming a sword immortal than yesterday, right, big brother?"

　"Yes!"

　"But..." Ling Hong started to worry again, "I won't have anything new to get tomorrow. Will I be unable to get closer to becoming a Sword Immortal?"

　Chen Yao glanced at Ling Hong's cunning big eyes and tapped her forehead lightly. Ling Hong said "Oh" exaggeratedly and tilted her little head back deliberately.

　"Breathe in and out for one hour today, and tomorrow you will have one hour more of internal energy than today."

　Ling Hong thought about it blankly and shook her head: "No, let big brother hold me to sleep tonight, and tomorrow I will be pampered by big brother for one night more than I am today!"

　Chen Yao didn't know what to say to this child, so he could only tap her forehead.

　"listen."

　Ling Hong didn't know what the older brother wanted her to listen to, but she still pricked up her ears obediently.

　There is the sound of wind blowing through leaves, the sound of a distant mountain spring or waterfall, the gentle rustle of small animals rubbing against branches and stones falling as they run...

　“All sounds in the world have their own reasons.”

　Chen Yao closed his eyes and meditated, speaking softly, his breathing gradually becoming longer.

　Ling Hong opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Yao, thinking, "Big brother is still blaming me, didn't he also fall asleep quickly when he was meditating?"

　But no matter what, with her older brother by her side, she felt particularly safe and everything was so beautiful.

　So she clumsily bent her two little feet, and managed to get them into a posture with her five hearts facing the sky, imitating Chen Yao, facing the green trees and green mountains outside the cliff, shaking her head and sitting in meditation.

　Time flows with every breath.

　Dozens of miles away, beside a stream, a young girl and a woman were squatting by the water and eating dry food.

　The girl was thin and had a pretty face, but her slightly curved nose made her look a bit sinister.

　Her eyebrows were short and her eyes were sharp as knives.

　"Mom, could he really be some kind of sword immortal?"

　The woman glanced at her and said, "Have you forgotten how the Hidden Sword Immortal died? His body is still in the town. So many people saw this young man barely make a move, yet the Golden Bell and Dark Cloud that allowed the Hidden Sword Immortal to travel across hundreds of miles didn't work at all."

　"After walking over a hundred miles and observing him for a long time, I still couldn't tell if he was some kind of sword immortal. At most, he's just a swindler who kidnapped Xiao Linghong!"

　As she spoke, the girl slapped the bank of the stream, and the water splashed up, and several fish were swept up into the air.

　"I can do this trick too!"

　She said proudly.

　The woman sighed and pressed her hands.

　The water level suddenly dropped back to the surface, and the fish were liberated, swimming happily downstream.

　"I remind you, don't provoke him when you meet him. Otherwise, I can't save you."

　The girl snorted, "I don't need your help."

　The woman curled her lips and said, "You've only walked a hundred miles, and you're already talking so arrogantly? If I really allowed you to reach the Nascent Soul stage, would you look down on all the immortals in the world?"
