Chapter 19: Six Years Later

Six years later.

The Cangnan Empire, one of the four empires of the Shenwu Continent, is located in the southern part of the Shenwu Continent. The Cangnan Empire was divided into three large states, named Cangyang, Yanming and Nanxiao, each of which had nine cities, also known as the Three Prefectures and Nine Cities.

It belongs to Canglin City, one of the nine cities of Yanming Prefecture, and the east of Canglin City is the famous Warcraft Forest, Cangqing Forest.

This green forest is vast, it is a huge primeval forest, its area is at least nearly half the size of a state, the terrain and environment in the forest are complex, it is said to be a forest, but there are also wetlands, mountains, swamps and lakes and other terrain, among which there are many powerful high-level demonic beasts.

In the southern part of the forest, there is a stream about three meters wide that flows out of the forest, which is as clear as a transparent ribbon.

The bottom of the stream is covered with soft stones of various colors, and various fish such as herring and grass carp flow among the aquatic plants that sway with the current.

Most of the fish swimming in this stream are ordinary fish, some of them are first-order demonic beasts, and few second-order demonic beasts appear.

At this time, it was almost noon, and a young man dressed in black cloth stood by the river, looking about twelve or thirteen years old, with short black hair neatly groomed, and a faint smile on his handsome face, giving people a feeling of gentleness and closeness like sunshine.

This young man was Chen Huai, holding a sharp harpoon in his hand, and his bright eyes were watching the fish in the stream.

Suddenly, the harpoon in Chen Huai's hand was thrown violently, and the harpoon was quickly forked into the stream like lightning.

Seeing that the harpoon successfully stabbed the fish, Chen Huai was overjoyed, and easily pulled the rope at the tail of the harpoon, and the harpoon flew back to Chen Huai with the fish.

For Chen Huai, who has been refining guns for many years, making a small harpoon is, of course, extremely simple.

"Okay, that's a good size. Chen Huai looked the fat herring up and down and said with satisfaction.

I saw a flash of silver light between Chen Huai's fingers, and the harpoon was included in the space ring on his hand, as Chen Huai grew up, the ring given by Chen Yong, although it was still a little bigger, could be worn on his hand.

The Space Ring can only store items, not living things. Although the herring fish can be stored as dead, Chen Huai didn't want the somewhat wet herring to be put in the ring, just like throwing a wet towel into a backpack, so he carried the big herring fish in his hand.

Chen Huai carried the herring fish, hummed a little tune, and walked to the medicinal vegetable garden planted by He Heng.

This medicinal vegetable garden is on the south side of He Heng's wooden house, where fresh fruits and vegetables are planted on one side, and some simple spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs are planted on the other side. Between the vegetable patch and the medicine garden, there are three scarecrows, and a large scarecrow stands on either side of a small scarecrow.

Originally, there were only two scarecrows embroidered with the words Heng and Qiu on the corners of their clothes, and later the little scarecrow was made by He Ningqiu and Chen Huai, saying that this is the only family. On the corner of the little scarecrow's gray cloth coat, there is a small 'Huai' character embroidered.

Chen Huai smiled and beckoned to the three scarecrows, then took two fresh small green vegetables and carried the big herring back to the wooden house.

And this wooden house has also changed compared to six years ago, there is an extra room behind the wooden house, which was re-added by He Heng as Chen Huai's room.

Chen Huai carried the fish and vegetables in one hand, pushed the door open with the other, and said with a smile: "I'm back." ”

No one responded, Chen Huai retracted the smile on his face, and muttered to himself, "You haven't come back yet." Then he went to the stove and began to process the herring.

A week ago, He Ningqiu broke through to the Peiyuan Realm, and He Heng took her to obtain the Warcraft Crystal Nucleus. Although when they broke through the Qi Refining Realm before, they all went to the green forest together, but this time He Heng said that there were other things to deal with, and it might take a lot of time, because the Yanming Academy was about to start, so he didn't bring Chen Huai with him.

Chen Huai holds a kitchen knife in his hand, skillfully washes, scrapes the scales, digs the gills, takes out the internal organs, cleans them again after processing, cuts the flower knife in the fish body easily and freely, and then fries in hot oil until golden on both sides, puts in onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, and adds water to simmer.

While waiting for the fish to simmer, wash the freshly picked vegetables from the vegetable garden, add seasonings and stir-fry, and put them on a plate. After this series was completed, the braised fish was also cooked, and Chen Huai carefully served it on a plate, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and served it with green vegetables.

Served with steamed rice, this rich fragrance made Chen Huai's index finger move, and the fragrant fish and meat with rice tasted great.

Chen Huai is currently cultivating to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and he has not been able to break through the Peiyuan Realm before He Ningqiu, it is not that Chen Huai's talent is not good at Ningqiu, but because Chen Huai needs to cultivate too many things, he has to cultivate the four things of Martial Soul, Imperial Spirit Divine Decision, Thunder Shadow and Yanhuang Break at the same time, compared to He Ningqiu, who only cultivates martial soul and one martial art, the realm is naturally much slower.

If it weren't for Chen Huai's innate Heavenly Rank Thunder Beast Martial Soul, the innate source qi he carried helped him break through several realms, and the cultivation of that Imperial Spirit Divine Determination could replace sleep and rest at night, I am afraid that he would have been left far behind by He Ningqiu.

Although Chen Huai can't compare to He Ningqiu in the realm, but in the competition between the two, Chen Huai has never lost, the two martial arts of Yanhuang Po and Qinglei Shadow and the Imperial Spirit Divine Duel have brought Chen Huai great combat power, making Chen Huai never lose in the battle of his peers.

After lunch, after Chen Huai packed up the dishes and chopsticks, he returned to his room to pack his luggage, and was about to leave for Yanming Senior Soul Master Academy.

Chen Huai and He Ningqiu obtained the admission qualification of Yanming College with excellent results. Yanming Academy is located in Yanming City, it is the best high-level soul master college in the entire Yanming Prefecture, and like the Cangnan Royal Academy in Cangyang Prefecture, it was also created by the royal family of the Cangnan Empire, but it is under the jurisdiction of Yanming Prefecture. The same is true for Nanxiao College in Nanxiao Prefecture. All three colleges were founded by the royal family, but they were all affiliated with their respective states.

According to Yanming City, where Yanming Academy is located, it takes about five days to travel, and the college will officially open in five days, and He Heng has also instructed him not to wait for them to come back, and let Chen Huai go to Yanming Academy first.

Chen Huai packed his bags, put them in the space ring, closed the door of the wooden house, and stood quietly in front of the wooden house, looking at this place that carried his memories for six years.

Chen Yong never came back, because Chen Huai was often a little disappointed about this, but fortunately, with the company of He Ningqiu and He Heng, everything was comfortable and happy.

Looking at this familiar wooden house, the big ancient tree next to the house, Chen Huai smiled slightly, beckoned, and then turned to leave.

The warm and soft wind blew the trees and grass, the branches swayed, the green grass swayed, and there was a 'rustle' sound, as if waving in response to Chen Huai saying goodbye.
