Chapter 157


    After learning about the birth process of the zing Moon Art from Gold Ingot, Yu Huang finally


    understood why her father had left those words in the cultivation technique’s image.


    Yu Huang bowed to Gold Ingot and said, “Thank you for your teachings, Professor. I will study this


    cultivation technique well.”


    “You can continue practicing. I’ll go look for something to eat first!” Gold Ingot was a Taotie Beast, so


    he was very greedy. He did not stay with Yu Huang for long before running off to look for delicious food.


    After Gold Ingot left, Yu Huang continued to cultivate the zing Moon Art and attempted to bring her


    love into it.


    She loved her father, her father, her adoptive parents and her mentor. She loved Sheng Xiao very


    much too. But, even if she practiced the zing Moon Art with this love, she still could not bring out the


    true power of the technique.


    She really could not understand this cultivation technique. Yu Huang felt that the time was not right, so


    she decided to put the zing Moon Art aside and focus on practicing controlling the Purifying Evil


    Phoenix me.


    A month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Winter had arrived. The forest behind the Divine Realm Academy’s back mountains was red. Leaves


    fell onto the ground,yer uponyer, and dyeing the entire mountain range red.


    At dusk, a fire phoenix soared in the sky against the setting sun.


    “Swish!” Xuan Yu circled in the sky a few times. Sensing Yu Huang’s call, it swooped down with a cry


    andnded on Yu Huang’s shoulder.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    After this period of painstaking cultivation, Yu Huang’s cultivation had improved greatly, and her


    spiritual energy had be much richer. Xuan Yu had even grown a little.


    Currently, Xuan Yu’s appearance waspletely different from that of a small duck. A few gorgeous


    red feathers had grown on its wings, making it look like a phoenix.


    Yu Huang rubbed Xuan Yu’s head, and Xuan Yu raised its head to kiss Yu Huang’s chin. Yu Huang


    suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and the person walked towards her while stepping on the


    withered leaves of the mountain. His footsteps were steady, and he seemed like an acquaintance.


    Yu Huang turned her head and looked down the path.


    ‘The winding stone stairs were covered with fallen leaves. Sheng Xiao was wearing a blue low-cored


    sweater and a navy blue coat.


    It had been a month since shest saw Sheng Xiao and missed him. Yu Huang patted Xuan Yu’s head.


    Xuan Yu turned into a red light and flew back to Yu Huang’s forehead.


    Yu Huang then asked Sheng Xiao, “Senior Sheng, why did youe to the mountain to look for me


    today?”


    In fact, Sheng Xiao came to visit Yu Huang often. But, he did it secretly so that Yu Huang would not find


    out. But, Sheng Xiao would never tell Yu Huang about it.


    Sheng Xiao walked to Yu Huang. He stared at Yu Huang’s corbones and long arms outside her white


    cami. He guessed that Yu Huang must have been training so hard that she forgot to eat and sleep and


    had no idea what season it was now.


    Sheng Xiao took off his coat and put it on Yu Huang. He told her, “Tomorrow is the day of the


    competition. Don’t practice today. Rest for half a day.”


    Yu Huang was shocked. “Tomorrow is the group arenapetition?”


    “Yes.” Sheng Xiao asked, “Are you nervous?”


    Yu Huang’s smile instantly vanished. The day of the arenapetition had arrived, which meant that


    she and Xuanyuan Jing were going topete officially.


    Sheng Xiao took out two bottles of wine from his interspatial ring. He shook the wine pot and asked Yu


    Huang, “Do you want some?”


    Yu Huang looked at the wine, shook her head andughed. “What is this? A party before being


    tortured?”


    Sheng Xiao said, “Let’s celebrate our victory in advance.”


    “alright!”


    Yu Huang carried the pressure stone on her back and sat down with Sheng Xiao on a big rock.


    Sheng Xiao opened the pot and passed a bottle of wine to Yu Huang. “This is Green Plum Wine. My


    mother brewed it.”


    Yu Huang took a sip.


    Even though it was Green Plum Wine, Yu Huang still felt that it was very strong. She told Sheng Xiao,


    “I can’t hold my liquor well and I’m not good at drinking either. When I drink too much, I like to call


    people to settle ounts.”


    Naturally, Sheng Xiao remembered since Yu Huang had settled ounts with him. “It’s alright. You


    don’t have your phone with you anyway.”


    Yu Huang thought about it and agreed. Relieved, she drank arge mouthful of wine and even burped.


    “It’s really delicious. Your mother’s craftsmanship is really good.”


    Sheng Xiao said subconsciously, “If you like it, you’ll have plenty of chances to drink it in the future.”


    Yu Huang could tell what Sheng Xiao was implying. However, she was too focused on thepetition


    to flirt with him.
