102: Chapter 0102 Beginning to Make a Wish

Lin Xiao knew well that differences in innate talent would lead to vastly different power levels for martial arts techniques.

In a world where even Earth Grade talents were rare, Xiao Qingxuan's Heaven Grade talent, paired with sixty years of Cold Jade Art...

Among the entire Zhenbei Army, only he could accompany her in practice!

If anyone else tried, they would likely be frozen into an icicle by accident.

Lin Xiao took his woman out, intending to find an open space outside the city to spar.

The servants at home all had a strange feeling when they saw Xiao Qingxuan—

Why had the Mistress suddenly become so "cold"?

Xiao Qingxuan didn't notice it herself, but the aura she inadvertently emitted had become somewhat unfathomable.

Arriving at the door, Xiao Qingxuan suddenly sensed something and turned to look behind her.

"Yaner, my husband and I are busy with something today. You go to the estate first and help me inspect it; there is no need to follow me."

Leng Bingyan was stunned. How did Xiao Qingxuan realize she was following her?

This feeling was just like her master...

But they had only been apart for a short while; it was impossible to cultivate a peerless expert in that time!

Not until the two left did Leng Bingyan suddenly freeze!

"Huh? Just now, Qingxuan's eyes... why did they seem to be entirely black?"

Leng Bingyan was flustered. She must be going crazy; how could that be possible?

Upon arriving outside the city at a wild field overgrown with rocks.

Lin Xiao confirmed no one was around before letting Xiao Qingxuan attack him.

The Cold Jade Art was a Taoist internal cultivation technique; it didn't require many external martial arts moves, nor did it care about weapons.

It focused on condensing the cold energy of heaven and earth with internal force to congeal blood and kill invisibly.

Upon hearing that she had to attack her beloved husband, Xiao Qingxuan hesitated immediately.

"Wife, feel free to make your move. I need to confirm how much self-preservation ability you have so I can be at ease."

Lin Xiao teased, "Or are you saying you don't trust your husband's strength?"

Hearing Lin Xiao put it that way, Xiao Qingxuan finally made up her mind.

"Then... please guide me, Husband..."

Relying on the martial arts techniques that had suddenly appeared in her mind, Xiao Qingxuan mobilized her internal force and struck a palm at Lin Xiao from a distance!

The surrounding air temperature plummeted, and a large palm print made of ice crystals struck fiercely toward Lin Xiao!

Lin Xiao took out his black blade and slashed with a burst of Heaven-Burning Blade Technique energy, barely shattering the palm strike!

However, the bursting internal force of the Cold Jade Art still made his cheeks sting!

"Wife, how much of your power did you use?"

Lin Xiao felt a trace of trepidation at this power!

"About... sixty percent?" Xiao Qingxuan wasn't sure.

"Only sixty percent!?"

Lin Xiao gasped and said, "Use one hundred percent! Attack me with all your might once!"

Xiao Qingxuan looked reluctant, but she couldn't resist the man's request, so she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Husband, then you be careful..."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and cry; to have a woman who had only started practicing martial arts today warn him to stay safe was truly ironic!

Before long, ice crystals began to dance around Xiao Qingxuan, and the ground where she stood began to freeze!

Xiao Qingxuan's long hair flew, and an icy, bone-chilling internal force erupted from her as the center!!

It was like a giant ice crystal snowflake blooming among the rocks!!

"Hum!!—"

The surging internal force of the Cold Jade Art whistled toward Lin Xiao!

Lin Xiao hurriedly activated "Indestructible Diamond Body," channeled his internal force, and swung out Scorching Fire Burning the City!

Relying on the black blade and the fire-attributed Heaven-Burning Blade Technique, he blocked most of the Cold Jade internal energy.

But even so, it felt as if his body was being pierced by countless ice needles, making him grimace in pain!

After all, Indestructible Diamond Body was mainly for blocking physical damage, while the internal energy attack of the Cold Jade Art had extremely strong penetration!

Fortunately, Lin Xiao still withstood this round and didn't embarrass himself too much.

Lin Xiao was now convinced that in their camp, besides himself, Xiao Qingxuan was invincible!

"Husband... is... is this all my doing?"

Xiao Qingxuan looked at the surrounding rocks and ground covered in frost, feeling it was incredible.

Suddenly going from a woman with no power to truss a chicken to a martial arts expert—the contrast was too hard to adapt to!

The powerful strength also left her feeling a bit at a loss.

Lin Xiao sheathed his blade and went up to pull the woman into his arms.

"Wife, high martial arts skills are not scary. Just treat it as having an extra powerful fighter by your side; you just need to be yourself."

Hearing the man's words, Xiao Qingxuan finally felt much more at ease.

"Husband, I understand. Unless it is necessary, I will not use martial arts without permission."

With Xiao Qingxuan's intelligence, she naturally understood what kind of heaven-defying ability it was for Lin Xiao to create a martial arts expert in a single day.

Even though she was once the Empress of Western Shu, she had never heard of such a divine ability.

This must be a major secret of her husband, and she would certainly try her best to keep it.

Lin Xiao smiled, "It is best that you understand the meaning of 'hiding one's talents'."

"To be honest, Wife, you are currently one of my major secret weapons, so don't make a move easily."

Xiao Qingxuan said quietly, "But I... want to go to the battlefield with you, just like Wanying."

"There will certainly be opportunities to go to the battlefield, but why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?" Lin Xiao winked.

Xiao Qingxuan puffed out her cheeks and chided, "Husband always comes up with reasons. I will just listen to you..."

Lin Xiao hugged the woman's slender waist and smiled, "Wife, you should be at ease now. It is just a princess; if you don't like her, just give her a beating!"

"I am not that unreasonable. If Princess Ningxiang is sensible and willing to assist you together, then we should get along well."

Xiao Qingxuan had already made plans.

Lin Xiao sighed; sometimes he felt that this Empress wife was too magnanimous!

Speaking of which, that Xie Juner is Xie Yu's younger sister, right?

I don't know what she is like; I will find an opportunity to ask.

That night, when Lin Xiao and Xiao Qingxuan were together, he clearly felt that the woman was different.

The Empress, who was already born with Natural Allure, became even more seductively feminine after practicing the Cold Jade Art.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao had 300 years of Buddhist cultivation, and the Great Sun Tathagata Staff Technique was full of Yang energy, so he finally managed to suppress this little enchantress.

After a fierce battle, Xiao Qingxuan fell asleep, feeling satisfied.

Lin Xiao didn't want to sleep; he stayed up until midnight, waiting for the mall upgrade to finish.

Seeing that the time had arrived, he refreshed it immediately!

[Ding! Mall upgrade complete. New categories added, and the 'wish-granting treasure box' function is now enabled!]

Lin Xiao scanned it and found that the added categories were mainly daily necessities?

Rice wine, fruit wine, flour, meat products, and other food items.

There were also furniture like tables, chairs, and benches.

There were even glassware, paintings, calligraphy, and antiques.

Lin Xiao reckoned it was because the location where he refreshed was in his own bedroom.

These things weren't very useful for martial arts or the army, but in the future, if his sphere of influence grew, he might be able to make a lot of money from them.

"I thought that if I had grenades, I could get an AK. It seems the mall and the mystery packages are not part of the same system..."

Lin Xiao muttered to himself, then immediately focused his attention on a colorful treasure box at the top of the mall.

"wish-granting treasure box: After inputting any desired mall item, you can use internal force points, prestige points, or mall items to inject 'wish power' to increase the probability of obtaining it, up to 100%."

Lin Xiao frowned. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Little System, can I get the remaining fragments of the 'Indestructible Golden Body' too?"

[System: As long as it has appeared in the mall, it is possible! Note: Different items require different amounts of wish power. If you want to change the wish item, you must wait until the next day to refresh! The wish progress bar will be recalculated! So please choose carefully!]

Lin Xiao almost jumped out of bed!

Damn! He was worried about not being able to improve his innate talent, and now he finally had a way!!

Whether it was the previous battle with General Tumen or testing moves with Xiao Qingxuan during the day, Lin Xiao's desire to break through his mystic grade talent was becoming stronger and stronger!

But the Indestructible Golden Body fragments were slow to arrive, and the cost-effectiveness of adding internal force was too low.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao directly entered "Indestructible Golden Body fragments" into the "wish-granting treasure box"!

Starting the wish!!
