Free Web NovelChapter 1807: Chapter 1805: Meeting Gifts (2)
But right at this moment, Yun Luo’s Sword of Light stopped two meters away from Xiao Bao, and an invisible barrier appeared around him, firmly blocking the sword.
Yun Luo hooked up the corner of her mouth in satisfaction and raised her brows. "Look how scared you all are. Aren’t you people of the Mystic Sect? This little bit of courage is all you’ve got?"
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly let out a breath of relief, but still retorted, "This is the most normal instinctive reaction for a mother."
When Yun Luo heard that, she seemed to think of something and her gaze dimmed a little. But the Sword of Light in her hand did not disappear. Her eyes flicked and she pressed that train of thought down, then said to Gu Qiaoqiao, "Now you two watch closely. Oh right, hurry up and put your ice sword away. Didn’t you notice the temperature in the room has dropped?"
At the same time, she also had to secretly admire Gu Qiaoqiao’s reaction speed, and that ice arrow as well. Gu Qiaoqiao really was impressive.
No wonder Gu Junbai favored her so much and designated Gu Qiaoqiao as the sole heir.
Looks like she really does have some real skills. Not to mention anything else, that ice sword of hers is a match for her own Sword of Light.
Once the ice arrows came out, of course the temperature in the room dropped by several degrees. freёwebnovel.com
Gu Qiaoqiao waved her hand, and those biting cold ice arrows evaporated in an instant, turning into wisps of faint mist that then vanished into the air.
Sima Xiaowen teased, "Qiaoqiao, when the room feels dry, you can use those ice arrows to bump up the humidity a bit."
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her brows. "Funny you say that. I really do that sometimes."
Yun Luo stomped her feet in annoyance at the side. "Alright, you two stop talking and watch what I’m doing."
At this moment Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were finding it all terribly fun, staring unblinking at the Sword of Light in Yun Luo’s hand.
At this age, kids are the most curious about bright shiny things, and they’re the best at catching their attention.
As soon as Yun Luo finished speaking, she thrust the sword again, this time toward Xiao Bei. After all, they were twin meeting gifts; she had to test both functions.
This time was just like before, though Gu Qiaoqiao was no longer as nervous. She still watched without blinking and then saw the menacing Sword of Light stop two meters away from Xiao Bei as well.
Things like this were actually beyond Gu Qiaoqiao’s understanding. She couldn’t see any light shield or Barrier, but she knew there was some kind of invisible screen isolating the attacking Sword of Light.
Xiao Bei seemed to sense something. His grape-black eyes sparkled. First he clapped his little hands, then twisted his body and quickly crawled toward Yun Luo.
And then they saw a strange scene.
As Xiao Bei crawled forward, Yun Luo couldn’t help but back away.
So it had this function too, huh. A smile appeared on Gu Qiaoqiao’s face.
Just now Yun Luo said this thing would benefit them for life. No matter what happens in the future, at least it gives the children an extra layer of protection.
With a swoosh, Yun Luo withdrew the Sword of Light and her hand was suddenly empty. Naturally, with no weapon attacking, that barrier also automatically retracted. Xiao Bei crawled a bit further and then stopped, waving his little hands at Yun Luo and babbling "yi-ya wa-wa," nobody knew what he was saying.
Xiao Bai, on the other hand, was much calmer. He looked at Yun Luo with great curiosity, as if studying how this aunt clearly had something in her hand just now, and how it suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qiaoqiao thanked her sincerely. "This meeting gift of yours is really wonderful. Thank you, Yun Luo."
"Of course. Since when has anything I, Yun Luo, pull out ever been not good?"
Sima Xiaowen burst into laughter. "You really start panting as soon as someone calls you fat."
This time Yun Luo didn’t bother arguing with her and just snorted proudly.
Gu Qianqian was watching from the side, utterly dumbfounded.
As she grew older, her sister no longer hid everything from her, so she’d learned some of the family’s secrets and had seen her sister’s Sky-drawing Talisman once.
But that time was just a demonstration. Completely unlike this time, and there was Yun Luo too—this girl who was even younger than her, just a freshman in college, was actually this powerful.
In that moment, Gu Qianqian couldn’t help doubting what kind of world she was really living in.
Beside her, Sima Xiaowen patted Gu Qianqian’s shoulder and gently asked, "Qianqian, are you envious of all this?"
Gu Qianqian blinked. "I’m not really sure. I just think it’s pretty fun, like doing magic tricks."
Yun Luo rolled her eyes.
This was real skill, how was it anything like magic tricks?
"Then do you want to learn?" Sima Xiaowen asked again.
Gu Qianqian hurriedly waved her hands. "I can’t learn this. My sister tried teaching me, and besides, I’m just not interested in it."
Sima Xiaowen was a bit disappointed. She genuinely thought Gu Qianqian had pretty good aptitude and would really suit learning some of their Phoenix Clan Techniques.
And those Techniques were basic ones; they didn’t demand too much Spiritual Energy.
Because their Phoenix Clan didn’t rely on Spiritual Energy alone for cultivation in the first place.
Of course, Spiritual Energy was still indispensable; it was the most fundamental thing.
But this time Gu Qianqian could tell that this seemingly young girl Yun Luo was actually very formidable as well.
Just then, the living room door opened and a tall, slender figure walked in.
It was Qin Yize.
Without them realizing, it had already reached lunchtime.
With his usual keen perception, Qin Yize spotted something off in almost the first instant.
The air felt a bit strange, but the strangest thing was that there was something new on his two babies’ wrists.
On their right wrists, each wore a silver bracelet. It looked very ordinary, but they definitely hadn’t been wearing them that morning.
Though puzzled inside, Qin Yize pressed his lips together. In almost the blink of an eye, his expression returned to calm.
Winter was troublesome in this way: the dining area was in another dining room, so they had to put on their padded coats to go out.
So having a big house came with big-house annoyances too. If the place were smaller, it would be much simpler.
After dressing the two children, the adults also put on their coats.
As they walked, Gu Qiaoqiao said, "Yun Luo, it’s your first time eating at our place. I don’t know if the dishes will suit your taste."
"It’s fine, it’s fine, I can eat anything."
Sima Xiaowen nodded in agreement at the side. "That’s true, this girl has this one merit at least—she’s not picky about food."
Yun Luo’s eyes widened. She stomped her foot and reached out to smack Sima Xiaowen, but Sima Xiaowen of course wouldn’t let her hit her; she dodged to the side in a flash.
Then the two of them took off chasing each other around the courtyard like the wind.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at them, finding it a bit funny, but she also liked the way these two got along.
Her own younger sister was actually quite quiet. She respected Sima Xiaowen like an older sister and could comfort and counsel her, but beyond that she never knew what else to do.
