Hutou's face suddenly wrinkled into a bun, and he said anxiously: "It's still the thirteenth aunt's fault. Grandpa and grandma seem to have known about the thirteenth aunt's engagement, so they sent someone to scold mother, and then mother had a fight with father."

  Mo Qingchen heard this and reached out to pinch Hu Tou's cheek, saying: "Hu Tou, we can't interfere with adult matters, so don't worry about it. Why don't I send Yun Zhi to escort you back instead?"

  The tiger's head shook like a rattle drum and shouted: "Don't want to, I won't go back, Qingchen, let's sleep together tonight."

  "What?" Mo Qingchen almost choked.

  "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to? No way, I'm not sleepy alone, I'll sleep with you." Tiger head simply played the rogue.

  Mo Qingchen knew that once children started playing, they wouldn't listen to reason, so he could only comfort him by saying: "Alright, but Tiger Head, after we finish school at Chaoyang Hall tomorrow, you'll have to go home."

  "Hmm—alright." Hu Tou saw Mo Qingchen's resolute expression and finally nodded.

  "Alright, you wait here for me, I'll go find Yunzhi sister to bring a quilt for you." Mo Qingchen said and turned around to walk out.

  "Miss, what instructions?" Yunzhi saw Mo Qingchen walking over and quickly put down the half-embroidered green bamboo handkerchief, stood up and said.

  "Huh, Yunzhi sister, you can still embroider flowers?" Mo Qingchen glanced at the handkerchief and saw that the bamboo was straight and tall, with leaves of varying depths that seemed to be swaying in the wind.

  "Look at what Miss said, our ordinary girls' homes won't be able to do this." Yunzhi smiled and said.

  Mo Qingchen was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and thought that a girl like Yunzhi would eventually get married anyway. He had wanted to tease her a bit, but then thought that although Yunzhi looked steady, she was only just over ten years old, so it was pointless to say such harmful things, and he gave up the idea.

  "Yunzhi sister, Houtu won't be coming back today, he wants to sleep with me, would you mind bringing a new quilt?" Mo Qingchen said.

  "Ah." Yunzhi also didn't ask much and responded readily.

  "By the way, Yunzhi sister, I'll have to trouble you again to go to Eleventh Uncle's place and tell him that Hu Tou is here with me." Mo Qingchen instructed.

  "Got it, miss," Yunchi replied.

  Due to Hu Tou's unexpected arrival, Mo Qingchen had to stop practicing her Lan Hua Fu Xue Shou, which she never interrupted. However, since she was already accustomed to practicing at night, once she stopped, she felt very uneasy and had a sense of guilt for wasting the good timing.

  "Hu Tou, why don't we cultivate first?" Mo Qingchen couldn't help but say.

  "Hmph, I don't want to," said Hu Tou discontentedly, glancing at Mo Qingchen. "I've been practicing all day, why do I still need to practice at night?"

  Mo Qingchen thought to himself, although Hu Tou's innate talent was excellent, he was still young and lacked self-control. It seemed that practicing in the Chaoyang Hall had its advantages, as it could ensure that children at a playful age would have enough time to practice.

  "Hurry up, the end of the year is approaching and we're going to have a small competition soon! Qingchen, you're so clumsy, you still can't get the energy into your body. If you don't practice quickly, Mo Yuqi will beat you into a pig head!" Mo Qingchen said pitifully.

  "Hmmph, alright then, let's practice for an hour. Later on, you'll have to accompany me in play."

  "Alright, alright." Mo Qingchen hastily said.

  Mo Qingchen didn't want to waste a single moment, and he began to meditate with his eyes closed. The familiar light dots flickered before his eyes, as if he were standing under the starry sky, or had mistakenly entered the Milky Way, bathing in the ocean of stars.

  Slowly, Mo Qingchen felt a little warmth, those flowing and dancing light spots began to move closer to her, every single hair on her body could feel the light spots jumping on top of them.

  Come in, come in quickly. Mo Qingdun struggled to control his body, opening up his pores as wide as possible to welcome the incoming light dots. However, just as the light dots were about to enter his body, a sudden force erupted from within, pushing away the approaching light dots.

  Mo Qingchen let out a helpless sigh, opened his eyes to practice his eye power with the rotating bead technique for a bit, then closed them again to continue cultivating.

  In a daze, Mo Qingchen felt someone poking her face and suddenly opened her eyes to find Tiger Head stretching out a chubby finger, poking her repeatedly.

  "Tiger's head!" Mo Qingchen shouted.

  "An hour has passed." The tiger's big eyes, shining with water, softened Mo Qingchen's heart.

  "So soon? What shall we play then?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  "Let's go outside and play, shall we?"

  Mo Qingchen raised her eyes to look out the window, where the ground and trees were covered in snow, reflecting a bright white light. She shivered involuntarily and said, "It's so cold outside, what's fun about that?"

  After entering the Qi Refining stage, the body's functions are greatly enhanced. Even in winter, it is more resistant to cold than ordinary people, and will become increasingly immune to heat and cold as cultivation deepens.

  Hutou was now at the peak of refining his Qi, and although his cultivation was low, he was more resistant to cold than Mo Qingchen. Upon hearing this, he said: "Wear more clothes, I have something fun to do, if you don't come with me to play, you'll definitely regret it."

  Seeing Tiger's expectant face, Mo Qingchen couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he nodded and said, "Alright then."

  Mo Qingchen opened the wardrobe and took out a white fox fur coat that had never been worn before, wrapping it around his body and saying, "Let's go."

  The two men didn't want to disturb others, so they directly crawled out of the window and landed lightly on the ground. Mo Qingchen lost his balance and rolled over, instantly covering himself in snow from head to toe.

  "Hutou couldn't help but chuckle and said: 'Qingchen, you're so stupid.'"

  Mo Qingchen wiped his face with one hand and angrily said: "Who told you to climb in through the window instead of using the front door!"

  Look at Mo Qing's dusty and swollen face, Hu Tou used his arm to poke her and said: "Girls are just small-minded, don't be angry, I'll show you something fun."

  "What's so interesting?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  Then he saw Hu Tou take out something from his storage bag with a mysterious expression and say: "Look."

  "What is this? Ah, it seems to be a paper crane." Mo Qingchen looked carefully and found that on the tiger's palm, quietly lay a three-inch-long paper crane.

  The tiger head showed a "you're so unsophisticated" look, and then he leaned his mouth close to the paper crane and blew a puff of air.

  Mo Qingchen was shocked to discover that the paper crane suddenly grew larger, growing to a length of over one zhang before stopping, its two wings spread out, giving people the feeling that it was about to take flight.

  Hutou saw Mo Qingchen's surprised face, smiled complacently and stretched out his plump hand to pat the enlarged paper crane: "This is a flying crane token, it's an intermediate upper-grade talisman."

  "Seal? Is this really a seal?" Mo Qingchen sighed as he looked at the paper crane.

  "That's right, so it's a mid-grade upper-class one. It was a gift from Qian Shu to me when we first met." Hu Tou said with a flying eyebrow and a smiling face.

  Jianmo Qingchen stared at the paper crane with both eyes, speechless. Hu Tou said: "Qingchen, let's go up and sit."

  "What...what?" Mo Qingchen exclaimed in surprise.
