Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Qiu Puyue didn't think about it for long and soon opened her eyes.

"It's noon now, let's talk after we eat."

Qin Xiao had already put on his clothes. Seeing that she had woken up, he didn't say much and just said lightly.

Qiu Puyue looked at Mo Hanyu and Yin Xihui who were standing aside, lowered her head without saying anything, took Yin Xihui's outstretched hand, and went ashore.

Yin Xihui realized that he was not looking at her directly, so he looked away and waited until she had put on her clothes before looking back.

Qiu Puyue was silent all the way until she sat on the stool with her meal, then she slowly spoke: "I didn't mean to fail to learn... I——"

"I know." Qin Xiao nodded. Of course he could see that she simply couldn't float.

Qiu Puyue bit her lip: "Or you don't have to teach me first——"

"Okay." Qin Xiao agreed readily.

Qiu Puyue became even more gloomy after hearing such a straightforward response.

I really hate myself...

I clearly said I wouldn't hold you back.

"Yin Xihui will teach you." Qin Xiao finished the second half with a heavy breath.

Qiu Puyue raised her head suddenly: "What?"

Qin Xiao pointed at Yin Xihui who was sitting next to her: "Him."

Yin Xihui saw Qiu Puryue looking at him and smiled at her: "Yes, it's me."

Qiu Puryue was puzzled: "You think I'm troublesome..."

"Yes." Qin Xiao had no sense of hurting anyone and agreed readily.

Seeing Qiu Puryue was depressed again, Yin Xihui smiled and explained: "He has to spar with Mo Hanyu in the afternoon, so it's not very convenient."

Qiu Puyue was surprised and excited when she heard this: "Are they the two?"

"Yes." Yin Xihui saw what she was thinking and patted her shoulder with a smile, "Let's not fight, let's learn to swim."

Qiu Puryue: ...

Qiu Puryue lowered her head again.

"why?"

Yin Xihui looked at her and said solemnly, "Because I can't beat him."

Qiu Puryue: ...

Yin Xihui turned his head and said, "I am very self-aware."

Qiu Puryue: ...

Qiu Puryue: "I haven't fought with you yet."

Yin Xihui smiled and shook his head: "I'll forget about it for now, but if you are interested, you can go find them after you learn how to swim."

I don’t know how long I have to wait.

Although Qiu Puyue didn't say it, her thoughts were clearly written on her face.

Yin Xihui smiled and said nothing.

After a short rest, Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu decided to practice next to the waterfall - they were afraid that Yin Xihui and the others would get into an accident and drown.

As Mo Hanyu expected, he couldn't even last more than two moves from Qin Xiao in terms of physical skills alone.

Mo Hanyu quickly got up, brushed the dirt off his body, and stared at Qin Xiao who was thinking about something in front of him.

"Come again." Qin Xiao said nothing and took a stance towards him.

This time, Qin Xiao's movements were obviously much slower, as if he was accommodating him, and he cooperated with him for several rounds.

"You react quickly, but your movements can't keep up."

Qin Xiao threw Mo Hanyu to the ground again and said this to him.

Mo Hanyu's eyes went dark after he fell, and it took him a long time to recover.

I don’t know if Qin Xiao was concerned about his wrist, as all his attacks were directed at his lower body. If he wasn’t careful, he would be tripped and lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Mo Hanyu secretly clicked his tongue and did not answer.

Qin Xiao didn't know what he was thinking of. Seeing that there was no one around except them, he discussed with Mo Hanyu: "How about trying the attributes?"

Mo Hanyu had no objection and asked one more question: "Is it a simple attribute collision, or..."

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It's just a simple collision of attributes."

Mo Hanyu understood what he meant and closed his eyes. The temperature around him instantly dropped to freezing point. Frost appeared all around him, and even a thin layer of ice formed on the surrounding grass.

Qin Xiao did not hesitate. With a thought, he sent a dark lightning bolt towards Mo Hanyu. Just like before, he could feel the violent energy in it just by looking at it.

But unlike before, Mo Hanyu gently raised his hand, and an ice wall blocked the way ahead. This time, the dark thunder did not penetrate, leaving only a shallow mark on it.

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Thunder flowers scattered around Mo Hanyu. Suddenly, the seemingly harmless thunder flowers expanded at a rapid speed and exploded again around Mo Hanyu.

Dazzling black lightning flashed around Mo Hanyu, and its collision with the ice raised a white mist that made it impossible to see Mo Hanyu's figure.

Qin Xiao did not relax, staring at the white area in front of him.

Suddenly, an extremely cold breath blew in our faces and spread at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the ground, the surrounding bushes and trees, and even the leaves were covered with thick frost.

Qin Xiao's body was instantly covered with ice, and like the group of children before him, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.

The ice mist around Mo Hanyu was frozen into ice particles, which fell to the ground and quickly merged with the ice on the ground.

Mo Hanyu stared at Qin Xiao. He did not let his guard down and stared at him without blinking.

As it turned out, there was a reason why Mo Hanyu was so cautious.

A noticeable crack suddenly appeared on the ice on Qin Xiao's body, and then the crack grew bigger and bigger, like a frozen river in winter being hammered into pieces, with fine and dense spider-web-like cracks appearing.

Mo Hanyu felt something was wrong and looked up suddenly. He saw a bolt of lightning suddenly striking down from right above him, and it looked like it was going to split him into pieces.

It must feel terrible to be hit by a sword.

Mo Hanyu thought about it and raised his arm.

A circular ice wall suddenly formed around him, wrapping him up tightly.

The thunder struck the ice wall with a loud noise, causing the surrounding ice to shatter.

The surroundings seemed to become much darker all of a sudden, and the only thing left in sight was the gusts of air caused by the collision of the black lightning and the ice wall.

Qin Xiao got out of the ice, saw this scene, frowned, and increased his strength.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao took a step back. It was this step that caused the ice cone that suddenly rose from the ground to miss.

Qin Xiao looked around. More and more ice blocks that were shattered by lightning rose into the air, changing shape, forming a series of ice cones that pointed at him.

Qin Xiao's pupils shrank slightly. In an instant, countless sharp ice cones attacked him at the same time!

Qin Xiao had to disperse his attributes for defense.

The lightning flowers exploded around themselves, blasting the ice cones into pieces that fell to the ground.

But as soon as the shattered ice cones fell to the ground, they formed ice cones of different sizes and flew towards Qin Xiao again in the air.

Qin Xiao: Why are there more and more of them?

Qin Xiao secretly sighed and released his Qi, covering a wide area, including Mo Hanyu, and began to explode lightning flowers over a large area.

Black lightning kept exploding in the middle, leaving almost no space to dodge. All the ice cones in the air were blown into powder and evaporated in an instant by the scorching lightning flowers.

Only after all the ice cones disappeared did Qin Xiao relax the range of Qi.

At this moment, snow suddenly began to fall from the sky - perhaps it couldn't be called snow, because it was made up of a bunch of small ice flakes, which looked very romantic and harmless.

The ice flakes fell on Qin Xiao's neck, his pupils shrank sharply, and his whole body froze.

"Your senses are really sharp." The ice wall around Mo Hanyu dissipated, and his figure appeared in front of Qin Xiao, praising him sincerely.

Qin Xiao didn't say anything and frowned.

The inconspicuous ice flakes were not melted by the temperature of the skin as imagined, but stayed quietly on the neck.

There was no deformation, nor any smell of danger, and it seemed to be no different from ordinary snow - except that it would not melt.

But Qin Xiao didn't move and just stared at Mo Hanyu.

Mo Hanyu didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.

The ice flowers in the sky continued to fall, and soon covered all the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

After an unknown amount of time of stalemate, Qin Xiao sighed and relaxed his shoulders.

"I surrender."

Mo Hanyu smiled slightly.

The ice on my neck melted.

"This is something I came up with myself. Does it look good?" Mo Hanyu said, raising his head.

Qin Xiao looked up and saw ice flowers still floating in the air.

"Very good." Qin Xiao said lightly.

Mo Hanyu smiled proudly: "Yeah, right."

Looking at the proud smile on the child's face, Qin Xiao couldn't help but chuckled and reached out to ruffle his hair.

Mo Hanyu was stunned.

Qin Xiao seemed to have noticed something, so he retracted his hand and turned his head away calmly: "It's quite impressive."

Mo Hanyu still stared at him blankly.

Qin Xiao realized that his actions were a little inappropriate, but he didn't expect that the child would keep staring at him like this. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable: "What's wrong?"

Mo Hanyu raised his hand and rubbed his hair: "Nothing."

Qin Xiao slapped his hand down in annoyance: "No, why are you looking at me?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Hanyu frowned, covered his wrist, and had a painful expression on his face: "It hurts, it hurts..."

Qin Xiao:?

Mo Hanyu curled his lips in grievance: "You hit me so hard."

Qin Xiao: "I just took a photo, okay?"

Although he said so, Mo Hanyu's expression didn't seem fake. Qin Xiao picked up his wrist and looked at it half-believingly. Sure enough, there was not even a red mark.

Qin Xiao let go of his hand unhappily and glanced at him.

Mo Hanyu chuckled: "How did you find out?"

Qin Xiao didn't look at him: "Intuition."

Mo Hanyu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "I wish I had such intuition..."

Mo Hanyu thought about it and curled his lips.

Qin Xiao touched his neck, and the cool ice flower seemed to still be there.

He knew something was wrong when the snowflakes appeared in the sky, but just like snow, he couldn't avoid it. The moment the icy flower fell on his neck, he felt the chill that penetrated into his bones.

If he had made any further movement, that inconspicuous piece of ice would have instantly turned into an ice needle and pierced his throat.

"If I had resisted just now, would you have done that?"

Qin Xiao turned his head and asked Mo Hanyu.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Mo Hanyu still understood clearly what he meant.

"Of course not." Mo Hanyu smiled, "In fact, that thing can't only turn into ice needles."

Mo Hanyu said as he reached out to catch a small piece of ice flower and showed it to Qin Xiao: "It can indeed turn into an ice needle..."

As he spoke, the small piece of ice in the palm of his hand turned into an ice needle that was completely different in size from before, thin, long, and looked extremely sharp.

"But it can actually melt directly into a person's body and freeze their blood in an instant."

As Mo Hanyu spoke, the ice needle instantly melted into his palm. His palm suddenly turned red and purple, as if it had been frozen in an icy place for several days.

Qin Xiao reached out to touch it and it felt like ice.

Qin Xiao frowned and pinched Mo Hanyu's fingers, and found that his skin was also frozen hard and almost lost its elasticity.

"I have no feeling in this hand." Mo Hanyu smiled and explained to him, "So even if you didn't admit defeat, I would only temporarily freeze the blood in your neck and cause you to fall into a coma."

Qin Xiao's eyes darkened, and he didn't respond, still kneading his palm.

"Of course, this method is useless for properties with high temperatures." Mo Hanyu continued, "After all, their body temperature can melt it instantly."

"How long will it take you to recover?" Qin Xiao looked up and asked him.

"It can be controlled." Mo Hanyu said, and clenched his palms tightly. The purple and red faded, returning to its previous white color.

Qin Xiao held his hand and kept his head down, thinking.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the bottom of the waterfall. Looking at Yin Xihui who had already put on his clothes, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Didn't you learn it?" Mo Hanyu asked.

When Yin Xihui saw them coming, his expression looked a little strange. If you look closely, you will find that his hair is a little messy.

Qiu Puryue also stared at them with an ugly expression.

Mo Hanyu:?

Qin Xiao:?

"...You two, can you have some self-awareness?" Yin Xihui spoke first, as if he was trying hard to hold back something.

"Can you be more aware of your own attributes?" Yin Xihui said, almost gritting his teeth, "Do you know the feeling of being frozen and struck by lightning at the same time??!"

Qin Xiao: ...

Mo Hanyu: ...

They seemed to understand something.

"You guys are going too far, you know that?" Yin Xihui pointed at them, "It's okay to beat them, it's okay to hurt us, but at least you have some self-awareness?"

Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Puyue who was lying in the pool with her head down and keeping silent, and raised his eyebrows calmly.

"I'm sorry." Mo Hanyu apologized very straightforwardly.

Qin Xiao also forgot that they were not far away and didn't pay attention for a moment. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he bowed his head and apologized honestly: "I'm very sorry."

Yin Xihui took a deep breath and waved his hand unhappily: "What happened?"

"He wins in physical skills, but I win in attributes." Mo Hanyu pointed at Qin Xiao and then at himself.

Yin Xihui was a little surprised: "You won by attributes?"

Mo Hanyu didn't show it on his face, and said calmly: "Yes."

Seeing Yin Xihui and Qiu Puryue's surprised faces, he asked curiously, "What's so surprising about this?"

As if this is something that should be taken for granted.

It's not the moment when you were so happy just now...

Qin Xiao glanced at him and thought to himself.

Qin Xiao walked past Yin Xihui and came to the shore. He looked at Qiu Puyue in the water and raised his eyebrows: "Have you learned it?"

Qiu Puryue was a little unhappy when she saw him, but when she heard his question, she immediately smiled: "Yeah, I learned it."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao turned his head to look at Yin Xihui, and then looked at her.

Yin Xihui smiled proudly: "I taught her."

"is it?"

Mo Hanyu suddenly exclaimed and looked back and forth between Qin Xiao and Yin Xihui.

Yin Xihui and Qiu Puryue were surprised to see such strong emotions in his words for the first time.

Qin Xiao looked at him and frowned.

"I remember that our sparring session didn't last long... less than an hour..."

Mo Hanyu said, looking at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Mo Hanyu's next words were -

"I just said your teaching is not good. Haha..."

He was still sneering.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qiu Puryue: ...

Yin Xihui: ...

"No, no...I'm just a slow learner—" Seeing that Qin Xiao's expression was not right, Qiu Puyue quickly waved her hands and wanted to explain.

Qin Xiao stared at him with an unclear expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mo Hanyu still looked unaware: "Why aren't you talking?"

Qin Xiao suddenly smiled, staring at him with a fake smile: "Nothing."

He turned around and said to Yin Xihui: "Then you teach her from now on."

Yin Xihui: ...

Yin Xihui: “Ah?”
