Chapter 146
A Comfortable Home and Teasing Xiaobao
Su Yuehan blushed while covering her eyes. She turned and ran back into the house. After a while, she threw out a set of clothes. She shouted, “What happened to you, Young Master?”
Chengfeng took the clothes and put them on. Thanks to his st.u.r.dy physique, sufficient energy and good health, coupled with the tremendous increase in strength, and the Immortal Qi within him, he didn't feel cold despite the chilly winter.
After putting on the clothes, he noticed that Yuehan was wearing thick clothing. She kept her hands near her mouth, using her breath to warm them. The cold was obviously too harsh for her to bear.
Chengfeng glanced around the room, and saw that the house, in its broken condition, allowed the blistering cold air to seep inside. The ground was cold and hard, not to mention the rattling, flimsy windows. The main entrance had even lost a huge chunk of its wooden panels.
Chengfeng couldn't help but feel guilty. He could weather the harsh, brutal conditions, but it was grossly unfair to drag a pet.i.te young maiden like her to suffer as he did.
At the thought of that, Chengfeng turned around and walked outside. Yuehan watched him leave with a puzzled look on her face. She only heard the rustling sound of leaves dragging against the ground. She looked out and under the moonlight and glimmer of the white snow, she could see Chengfeng bending over, as if burying something in the ground.
After a while, Yuehan saw that a row of small saplings began to grow on the ground at the doorway. These small saplings grew from the size of a fist to the height of her knee, and then quickly past her waist, and then rapidly grew into a large tree several metres high.
Su Yuehan looked on in awe; it took only a night for them to grow! Has his cultivation level increased? It was only just recently that he was able to control flowers and plants, but now he can control even trees?
After the trees reached their full growth, Chengfeng returned to the room. He waved to the nearest tree. The surrounding trees immediately withered, and the trunk and branches quickly moved towards Chengfeng.
These tree trunks held Chengfeng's small broken house tightly like a giant's stretched arms. The dense leaves and branches blocked the broken windows and doors securely. The barrage of wind and snow decreased immediately, leaving only a few faint whistling noises from the wind.
Chengfeng mobilized his energy again, causing leaves to grow and fill the gaps, and there was no more wind and snow in the house.
Yuehan widened her eyes and clapped her hands excitedly, “Young Master, that was amazing!”
Chengfeng laughed proudly, “Right? I'm such a genius! So what about a broken house?”
Yuehan smiled, “Your skills seem to have greatly improved.”
Chengfeng gave her a look with a shus.h.i.+ng gesture, “Shhh, that's a secret!”
Yuehan nodded and understood, she said, “Young Master, the house is much warmer now, but how are we gonna leave tomorrow?”
Chengfeng laughed knowingly and waved his hand to the door. The branches of the door immediately retreated, letting out the door, causing the wind and snow to immediately pour in. Li He waved his hand again, and the tree branches firmly blocked the door again.
Yuehan's eyes lit up and she smiled: “That's really interesting, it'll be great if I could learn these spells!” Then, she picked up a copy of “Notes for Cultivation” and said, “When you left, I've read this book. I think I can learn a thing or two from it!”
Chengfeng laughed, amused by her statement, “You've only read it for a day, how much can you learn?”
Yuehan pouted, “I'm quite smart, you know. Who knows how much I can learn and improve my cultivation, and I'll be quite the help to you,”
Chengfeng didn't believe a word she said, obviously. As he was about to retort her, he saw Xiaobao awaken from his coma.
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. He hurried over to Xiaobao's side. Yuehan was about to comment on Xiaobao's recovery, but saw Chengfeng's cheeky wink towards her. Yuehan was taken aback, but saw Chengfeng hugging Xiaobao firmly in his arms and with a sorrowful expression, he wailed, “Xiaobao, you have to stay strong!”
Yuehan almost laughed, but she stood next to them and played along.
As Xiaobao had just woken up, he had yet to fully grasp the situation. He saw Chengfeng grieving, as if mourning his death. Xiaobao was alarmed and stuttered, “Young Master, it's me, it's…”
Chengfeng shook Xiaobao and cried out mournfully, “Xiaobao, you're dead, how could you leave me? What am I gonna do without you!”
Xiaobao was inexplicably moved. With tears welling up, he said, “Young Master, I don't think I'll be able to serve you again…”
Yuehan covered her mouth with one hand, tears almost flowed down her face, but they were tears of laughter.
Chengfeng stared at Xiaobao with mock affection and said tenderly, “If you're gone, who else am I going to tease?”
