“Slow down, slow down. You’re just like a skinny monkey!”
On the grassy lawn in front of the stand-alone villa on the island in the center of the lake in the villa complex, the ground was covered in a layer of silver by the snow falling from the sky.
As a southerner who had never seen snow before, Lu Guoguo was in high-spirits playing on the grassy lawn. Although she was dressed in thin clothes, she did not feel cold at all.
The reason for this was that her cultivation had already reached a higher level, and she did not fear the changing seasons. She could already protect herself from the cold subconsciously with her Spiritual Qi.
Initially, her father, Lu Tianxiang, was a little worried, as, after all, this was not in the realm of common sense.
He still thought like a normal person, and playing around in the snow on a day of heavy snowfall with just one layer of clothes would be unbearable for an adult, much less a child.
However, her mother, Liu Wanrong, was more open-minded and did not think there was anything wrong. Anyway, Lu Xuan was playing with her, so there was no problem.
The entire grassy lawn was filled with Lu Guoguo’s chime-like laughter. As a southerner who had not seen much of the world, Lu Guoguo felt that this was truly amazing.
Lu Xuan only felt amused watching her play. He was not worried that Guoguo would catch a cold or fever, as, in any case, Guoguo’s current cultivation level was comparable to a hidden energy master. Although she was just passively being guided through the cultivation process by Lu Xuan, the Vigor she cultivated could already circulate throughout her body.
She had also grown significantly in size and was about the size of a 7 or 8-year-old child now. Her height almost reached Lu Xuan’s waist, and compared to other children of the same age, she was obviously much taller.
Lu Xuan grabbed Lu Guoguo, picking her up like he would a skinny monkey, and said, “That’s enough playing for now; it’s time to train!”
“Oh!”
Lu Guoguo very obediently listened to Lu Xuan and started to assume a half-squatting position.
This was Lu Xuan’s way of training his younger sister’s nature. With regards to cultivation, children generally did not find it enjoyable, and it was at times like this that a child’s nature was very important.
The habits one picked up as a child could affect the rest of their life.
At this time, in the living room, Lu Shanshan had a bitter grimace as she clutched a brush dipped in vermillion ink, earnestly drawing a talisman stroke by stroke.
“Big bro, when will I finish drawing these!” Lu Shanshan shouted at Lu Xuan, who was outside the main door.
Without turning to look, Lu Xuan replied, “When you finish a hundred useable Vajra Amulets, I’ll let you out to play!”
“Aaah, Big Bro, it’s so rare for it to snow in the south. I even promised my friends we’d go build snowmen and have snowball fights!” Lu Shanshan complained in displeasure.
She was very unhappy about getting grounded at home by Lu Xuan, feeling as though she was being confined as a child laborer by an unscrupulous profiteer.
She had clearly seen how Lu Xuan sold all the Vajra Amulets she drew at a hundred thousand a piece. In the end, she only got a cut of a hundred dollars for her hard work.
He was simply the most unscrupulous profiteer in history, squeezing children dry for their labor. She wanted her hard-earned money returned!
Still, she thought about the ten thousand dollars she would receive on finishing these hundred pieces, and with a grimace on her delicate face, she continued drawing these Vajra Amulets.
After all, although the contract fee of ten thousand was only one percent of the money earned through her hard work, it was still a large sum of money. For many college students, the sum would be their spending allowance for a whole year.
However, she did not realize that Lu Xuan’s purpose for forcing her to do this hard work was twofold. Aside from teaching her how to draw talismans, he was also training her to control the Spiritual Qi in her body. For her, this was more useful than shutting herself away and cultivating.
“So what if it’s snowing? There’ll be many more days of snow in the future!”
