How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 262 Swallowing Heaven without Leakage

This is the mystery of the footprints.

They don’t look particularly unusual.

Lin Xiaosu could have accepted that he left no trace in the snow.

But he did leave marks, and they weren’t shallow.

Just like a normal person.

However, the unusual part was that every step he took was exceptionally precise.

The gaps were completely consistent.

The distance between his steps was uniform, perhaps achievable by someone who had undergone extremely rigorous training.

But no one could achieve such a level of precision.

Even more inconceivably, the depth of the snow under his feet was completely consistent.

This was on a mountain.

The snow on the mountain varied in thickness, with grass, leaves, mud, and stones underneath, making it impossible for anyone to step on snow with consistent depth, but Lu Yun could.

This old man had intricate ties with Liu Lin Temple. freewёbnoνel-com

This old man harbored too many secrets.

Meeting him tonight, Lin Xiaosu hoped to get answers to many questions from him.

But he failed.

Because he had a prior arrangement with someone not to answer any questions.

Who was this "someone"?

As Lu Yun spoke, he gazed beyond the sky.

Lin Xiaosu also looked up, gazing at the sky.

The snowfall above was heavy.

Beyond the snow, the vastness was endless...

He returned to the Taoist Temple, and Hu Ya glanced behind him: "Where’s the Taoist priest?"

"Gone!"

"Gone?" Hu Ya was a bit surprised: "He specifically asked me to cook the meat, and he’s not eating?"

"The meat is for you! You are the Heavenly Dao foodie!" Lin Xiaosu laughed.

"Don’t say that outside!" Hu Ya glared at him.

She indeed loved to eat.

She had tasted all the wild food in Tashan.

Her future path was still all about eating.

But she was also a girl.

She was a Qianlong Gold Medal.

If she were labeled a foodie, who could bear it?

"Have I ever mentioned that you ate all the wild food in Tashan? It’s all you who said that!" Lin Xiaosu said: "So if the foodie title gets out, think with your toes. It must be because you were caught cooking meat."

"Yes, you have a point. I’ll prepare a high-tech microwave food bag in the future, cooking and eating secretly without anyone noticing..." Hu Ya’s eyes sparkled: "This is really for my good, I’ll give you a reward."

"Reward what?"

"First, you eat a bowl of meat to replenish your strength, then go to bed..." Hu Ya shot him a glance: "How about this reward, is it tempting, exciting, surprising?"

The meat was cooked in just an hour.

Once the lid was lifted, the aroma with otherworldly spiritual energy was vastly different from this world’s.

Lin Xiaosu ate a bowl, the fresh taste almost made him swallow his tongue.

He deeply agreed with Taoist Lu Yun’s words.

In this world of cultivators, food cultivators are truly the most blessed.

Others train in the bitter cold of winter and the scorching heat of summer, their cultivation process is always grueling.

Only food cultivators, eating delicious food, see their cultivation level rise steadily.

Hu Ya is truly blessed!

It’s already shown in many aspects.

She likes to fight, and Qianlong aligns with her likes.

She likes to eat, and amazingly her cultivation is all about eating.

This girl, is she the illegitimate daughter of the Heavenly Dao?

So favored?!

Hu Ya ate the savory meat, but her mind wandered, getting lost in thought.

She pondered Taoist Lu Yun’s words.

Taoist Lu Yun said: "Something with impenetrable skin, the meat inside is not, and it cooks easily..."

Sure enough, the meat of the Silver Mountain Bei was easier to cook than chicken meat.

This reflects a principle.

The hard and soft are also divided into outer and inner layers.

What about herself?

Her skin indeed was impenetrable, even mosquitoes couldn’t bite through.

But could Lin Xiaosu really not get in?

Not necessarily!

Maybe her layer of membrane, like this pot of meat, had a tough outer layer but was soft inside?

If Lin Xiaosu knew what this girl was thinking while eating the meat, he probably wouldn’t know what to say.

After finishing the meat, Hu Ya stood up: "It’s late, let’s go inside and sleep."

"You go ahead, I’ll sit here for a while."

Hu Ya was shocked, staring at him with wide eyes: "This isn’t like you. For your childhood dream, you ran all the way to Ning City, which is thousands of miles away. The distance from here to the bedroom is just five steps, and you’re not rushing..."

Damn!

You really aren’t demure!

Or are you still teasing?

Lin Xiaosu gave her a sidelong glance: "Just now, when I walked Taoist Lu Yun out, do you know what he said to me?"

"What?"

"He said..." Lin Xiaosu didn’t hide it, telling her exactly what Taoist Lu Yun had advised.

Hu Ya was stunned.

Swallowing Heaven without Leakage.

She had to be without leakage!

Losing her virginity meant leakage!

Could there really be such a bizarre thing? Heavenly Dao governs everything, even overseeing people’s virginity?

Oh heavens, oh earth, do you know my lifelong struggle? I’ve always been suspended in mid-air, wanting to verify if I’m a normal woman.

Tonight, I was about to do a substantial test.

And you pull this on me.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, dousing me with cold water, is it really okay?

Of course, these were just her internal rants, Hu Ya, although wild, was still a woman, and her modesty reined in her inner impulses.

She turned her eyes slightly: "I have some doubts that you’re lying to me."

"Damn! Lie? Deceiving money or seducing women, there has to be a purpose, right?! Just tell me, what do I gain from deceiving you..." Lin Xiaosu glared at her.

"You’re worried that I might impulsively give myself away to someone else outside, so you use this as a shackle to keep me chaste for you."

Lin Xiaosu slapped his forehead.

"Remaining chaste for you is one thing, but I can’t stay remain chaste forever, right?" Hu Ya said: "Hey, aren’t you a detective? You travel the world to look for wood, earth, fire, and water element spirit beasts, gather them quickly, and your opportunity will come, right?"

Lin Xiaosu closed his eyes and fell asleep in a second.

The next morning, when Hu Ya woke up, Lin Xiaosu was already up.

In the pot on the stove, meat was boiling.

The aroma was also very unique.

Hu Ya came closer: "You had all this energy to burn last night, did you go hunting on the mountain? What kind of meat is this?"

"Earth element spirit beast, Earthfall Beast Meat!"

Hu Ya’s eyes lit up: "Wow, just last night I mentioned you to find them, and today you did! Your dedication to staying true to the mission is it moving me, impressing me, or making me excited?"

"Slowly chew your meat, I’m leaving!" Lin Xiaosu stood up.

"You’ve set the mood already, won’t you have a bite too?" Hu Ya was immediately in his arms, raising her face, suggesting that he could bite something else...

This wasn’t really unexpected, they had done this in Ning City before.

Lin Xiaosu stared at her bright lips: "Just a reminder, your dad is twenty steps away!"

Hu Ya hooked her arm around his: "There’s still plenty of time! Not much of a challenge!"

When Second Uncle stepped onto the temple platform, Lin Xiaosu came from inside, licking his lips: "Second Uncle, we cooked some meat, just in time for breakfast."

"Did anything unusual happen last night?" Second Uncle asked urgently.

Last night was the Equatorial Split Sun, something this old man was deeply worried about.

"Indeed, something did come out."

"Ah?" Second Uncle’s face changed dramatically: "Where is it?"

"In... the pot!"

Second Uncle was dumbfounded...

"I’m leaving now! I still have New Year visits to make." Lin Xiaosu walked past him.

Down from Tashan.

The next period was the New Year visiting season.

Lin Xiaosu had many visits to make.

This was called tradition.

Although you might bring something to my house, and I bring something to yours, with the things being quite similar. Sometimes, you might even end up bringing back what you initially brought.

It may seem insignificant, even a bit silly.

But this is tradition.

Without this tradition, how would family bonds be shown?

Where would the sense of human warmth be felt?

If in the past Lin Xiaosu was the Fengcheng Detective, capable of conversing confidently with city mayors, this Lunar New Year, he was a junior, an ordinary rural boy, carrying a bottle of wine across fields to visit a third aunt or second uncle’s house.

Feeling the kinship, the warmth...

The snow had stopped.

The snow had melted.

With the passing of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere slowly faded.

Workers had to leave again.

Saying goodbye to family, children, taking their luggage and hopes, looking forward to the next Lunar New Year.

People in the countryside were decreasing each day.

Until the fifteenth of the first lunar month, there was a small peak again.

Ancestor worship.

Lin Family’s ancestor worship this year was different from previous years.

Usually, he and his mother did the worship—his father would leave for work on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

This year, his father also joined.

Lin Xiaosu had convinced his father throughout the Lunar New Year period, showing him the money he had earned the past year. His father’s rough fingers slid across the screen, counting zeros in his mother’s account.

Finally, he sighed softly: "Su’er, in this half year, you made more than I did in ten years of work. Ah... I’m getting old, worthless, forget it, I won’t go out anymore."

This sigh carried a bit of loss but also infinite comfort.

Lin Xiaosu was a bit pleased, he finally achieved his initial goal of opening a Detective Agency: to free his father from construction work.

The direct change this brought was that now, his father could attend the ancestor worship.

The ancestor worship task assigned to Lin Xiaosu was: Second Generation Ancestor.

Second Generation Ancestor was buried in Xiangxi.

Lin Xiaosu took incense paper and firecrackers to the Second Generation Ancestor’s grave. He then saw a small electric scooter speeding past Beifeng River, and the person on the scooter was Zhou Xi.

Lin Xiaosu didn’t alert her, watching from a distance.

In the wind, wisps of smoke rose.

In the wind, came the sound of firecrackers.

In the wind, the faint scent of firecrackers wafted.

Zhou Xi sat in front of her parents’ graves, tears streaming down her face.

"Dad, Mom, this is the first Lantern Festival since you left. Your daughter has so much to say to you..."

"After you left, I thought the coming winter would be the coldest one for me, but it wasn’t. I have a new home now, a small Detective Agency, with only three people, but they are all my family..."

Lin Xiaosu didn’t use his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye to read the rest of her graveside monologue.

He quietly returned to Old Tashan Village.

That night, after the Lantern Festival, with the firecrackers sent off the ancestors, he and little Ye kowtowed again to their ancestors, this time from the inside out, saying goodbye!

After sending off the ancestors, they returned upstairs. The New Year was over.

Little Ye took a bath, laid on the bed, and placed a towel under his butt.
