Chapter 366: Husband Only Needs to Remember One Thing

In the front courtyard of the Frost Princeʼs Manor, Xiao Mo suppressed his realm to the Qi Refinement perfection stage. Holding a wooden long spear, his form slightly lowered, he thrust the spear forward in a plain, unadorned manner that nonetheless concealed forceful wind.

Across from him, the young man named Bai Qiʼs spirit suddenly tensed. The tip of his foot touched the ground as he rapidly retreated backward, while simultaneously his wrist turned, drawing out a wooden spear from his side.

As soon as his footsteps stabilized, he twisted his waist and turned his arm, borrowing momentum to thrust back, the spear tip meeting the attack head-on.

The two wooden spears clashed together in an instant, spear shadows crisscrossing, the sound of cutting through air continuous and unending.

Bai Qiʼs spear technique was nimble, frequently employing feints. Xiao Mo, however, was steady as a rock. Each parry and deflection was executed perfectly, subtly controlling the situation.

After more than ten exchanges, Bai Qiʼs breathing became slightly irregular, his offensive showing a trace of hesitation.

Xiao Moʼs gaze sharpened, instantly seizing the opening.

His right hand suddenly slid to grip the spearʼs tail. His arm and wrist exerted force, lifting upward. The spear tip trembled accordingly, tracing a short but sharp arc. With a ”pa” sound, it struck the inside of the wrist where Bai Qi gripped his spear.

Bai Qi groaned in pain, his five fingers instinctively loosening. The wooden spear fell from his hand, hitting the ground with a dull sound.

Before that sound completely dissipated, the cold gleam of Xiao Moʼs spear tip had arrived, steadily stopping half an inch from Bai Qiʼs throat.
”Your Highnessʼs spear techniques are divine. Bai Qi deeply admires them.”

Bai Qi stepped back and cupped his fists in salute.

Bai Qi spoke from his heart.

He had often sparred with others before.

Not to mention being nearly unmatched among Qi Refinement stage cultivators, even when facing early Foundation Building realm opponents, Bai Qi had the power to fight.

Yet when Xiao Mo sparred with him using Qi Refinement realm strength, Bai Qi hadnʼt even lasted fifty exchanges...

For Bai Qi, this was also the first time he had lost to a Qi Refinement cultivator.

”Your talent is extremely good, but youʼve always followed an undisciplined path. Your spear technique is too casual, and you lack resources. Your foundation is relatively weak. You havenʼt even properly tempered your body.”

Xiao Mo shook his head and tossed a storage bag to him.

”Inside are some pills and prescriptions for body tempering to help you improve your physique. There are also two Foundation Building Pills you can use when establishing your foundation.

Additionally, the storage bag contains my Xiao familyʼs Hegemon Spear Technique. Take it and learn it.

Train diligently. With your talent, in the future you may not be unable to reach the Upper Three Realms.”

”Many thanks, Your Highness!” Bai Qi held the storage bag and bowed deeply, ”Previously, Your Highness showed me the grace of recognition. Today, youʼve treated me so generously. I will never forget this!”

”Alright, alright, are you two finished fighting? Have some tea.” Qin Siyao walked in carrying tea and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

”Many thanks to the Frost Princeʼs consort.” Bai Qi respectfully bowed again. He was indeed thirsty and drank the tea in one gulp.

Xiao Mo also took a sip of tea and asked Bai Qi, ”Speaking of which, Bai Qi, youʼve been coming to see me recently but havenʼt mentioned what matter brings you. Is there something you need my help with?”

”Your Highnessʼs kindness to me is as weighty as a mountain. How could I presume to trouble Your Highness further?” Bai Qi shook his head, ”Today I came to bid farewell to Your Highness. This afternoon, I will depart for the Northern Frontier army.”

”Hm?” Xiao Mo put down his teacup, ”The New Year is approaching. Youʼre going to the Northern Frontier so early? Why not wait until after the New Year?”

”No.” Bai Qi shook his head, ”I want to enter the army earlier to adapt sooner. As for my mother, my younger sister will look after her, so I need not worry.”

”Thatʼs good then.” Xiao Mo nodded, ”Go with peace of mind. Your mother and younger sister, Iʼll have people look after them. Qin Kingdom wonʼt let its soldiers have worries at home.”

”Yes! Bai Qi thanks the General again!”

Bai Qi stepped back, about to bow to Xiao Mo once more. However, Xiao Mo walked forward and supported him, ”No need to be so formal. The Northern Frontier is far away. Be careful on your journey.

Furthermore, observing your conduct and spear technique, being frank and upright is good, but your edge is too exposed, your killing intent too strong.

We soldiers need killing intent, but killing intent is like a sharp blade. When in use, itʼs unsheathed. When not in use, itʼs sheathed.

Otherwise, it will harm both yourself and others, even be intolerable to heaven and earth, and ultimately suffer backlash.

Remember this!”

”I will remember.” Bai Qi said earnestly.

”Go. I believe before long, you will achieve great accomplishments.” Xiao Mo patted his shoulder.

”I will not disappoint Your Highnessʼs expectations! Your Highness, Consort, I take my leave!”

Bai Qi bowed in farewell, turned, and left.

”Sigh...”

After Bai Qi left the courtyard, Xiao Mo let out a heavy sigh.

”Husband, whatʼs wrong? It seems youʼre worried about this young man?” Qin Siyao asked curiously, ”I see that heʼs sincere and listens to you.”

”He is sincere, and itʼs true he listens to me, but how could a personʼs nature change so easily?” Xiao Mo shook his head, ”Forget it. Iʼve said what needed to be said. The path must still be walked by oneself. After all, everyone has their own fate.”

Xiao Mo turned around, facing Qin Siyao and slowly speaking, ”Wife, in five more days it will be New Year, but before then, I plan to undergo tribulation to enter Nascent Soul.”

”Eh?” Qin Siyao gripped Xiao Moʼs large palm, ”Canʼt Husband wait until after the New Year?”

”My realm can no longer be suppressed, and my spear intent is at its peak. Moreover, Qin Kingdomʼs fortune is flourishing, surrounding the imperial city. Right now, with favorable timing, geography, and people, breaking through to Nascent Soul now will give me more assurance.”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly, tucking the hair by Qin Siyaoʼs cheek behind her ear.

”I know what Wife is worried about.

Nascent Soul realm is indeed a matter of life and death, extremely perilous. I donʼt know how many people have perished at this threshold but we cultivators, how can we remain stagnant?

Only with sufficient power can I better protect all of you.

Donʼt worry, nothing will happen to me.

Moreover, Iʼm a martial cultivator. For us martial cultivators, the Nascent Soul realm doesnʼt have the Heart Inquiry trial, so the difficulty is somewhat less than for ordinary cultivators.”

”...”

Hearing her husbandʼs comforting words, Qin Siyao still felt some unease in her heart but Qin Siyao also knew that this path, her husband definitely had to walk. As his wife, she should support him, not burden him and make him feel even more uneasy.

”Husband, this concubine understands, but Husband must also promise this concubine that you will definitely be well.” Qin Siyao tightly gripped Xiao Moʼs palm.

”Of course. The year after next, we still have to hold our wedding.” Xiao Mo smiled, ”However... if something happens to me, Wife, you...”

”There is no ʼifʼ!”

Before Xiao Mo could finish, Qin Siyaoʼs small hand had already pressed against Xiao Moʼs lips.

”Iʼm saying just in case...” Xiao Mo moved his wifeʼs tender, slender hand away and said with a smile.

”Thereʼs also no ʼjust in caseʼ!”

Qin Siyao puffed out her cheeks.

”Husband only needs to remember one thing... No matter when or where, no matter what happens. This concubine will forever wait for Husband to return.”

“Forever!”
