Chapter 157
After learning about the birth process of the Blazing Moon Art from Gold Ingot, Yu Huang finally understood why her father had left those words in the cultivation technique’s image.
Yu Huang bowed to Gold Ingot and said, “Thank you for your teachings, Professor. I will study this cultivation technique well.”
“You can continue practicing. I’ll go look for something to eat first!” Gold Ingot was a Taotie Beast, so he was very greedy. He did not stay with Yu Huang for long before running off to look for delicious food.
After Gold Ingot left, Yu Huang continued to cultivate the Blazing Moon Art and attempted to bring her love into it.
She loved her father, her father, her adoptive parents and her mentor. She loved Sheng Xiao very much too. But, even if she practiced the Blazing Moon Art with this love, she still could not bring out the true power of the technique.
She really could not understand this cultivation technique. Yu Huang felt that the time was not right, so she decided to put the Blazing Moon Art aside and focus on practicing controlling the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Winter had arrived. The forest behind the Divine Realm Academy’s back mountains was red. Leaves fell onto the ground, layer upon layer, and dyeing the entire mountain range red.
At dusk, a fire phoenix soared in the sky against the setting sun.
“Swish!” Xuan Yu circled in the sky a few times. Sensing Yu Huang’s call, it swooped down with a cry and landed on Yu Huang’s shoulder.
After this period of painstaking cultivation, Yu Huang’s cultivation had improved greatly, and her spiritual energy had become much richer. Xuan Yu had even grown a little.
Currently, Xuan Yu’s appearance was completely different from that of a small duck. A few gorgeous red feathers had grown on its wings, making it look like a phoenix.
Yu Huang rubbed Xuan Yu’s head, and Xuan Yu raised its head to kiss Yu Huang’s chin. Yu Huang suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and the person walked towards her while stepping on the withered leaves of the mountain. His footsteps were steady, and he seemed like an acquaintance.
Yu Huang turned her head and looked down the path.
‘The winding stone stairs were covered with fallen leaves. Sheng Xiao was wearing a blue low-collared sweater and a navy blue coat.
It had been a month since she last saw Sheng Xiao and missed him. Yu Huang patted Xuan Yu’s head. Xuan Yu turned into a red light and flew back to Yu Huang’s forehead.
Yu Huang then asked Sheng Xiao, “Senior Sheng, why did you come to the mountain to look for me today?”
In fact, Sheng Xiao came to visit Yu Huang often. But, he did it secretly so that Yu Huang would not find out. But, Sheng Xiao would never tell Yu Huang about it.
Sheng Xiao walked to Yu Huang. He stared at Yu Huang’s collarbones and long arms outside her white cami. He guessed that Yu Huang must have been training so hard that she forgot to eat and sleep and had no idea what season it was now.
Sheng Xiao took off his coat and put it on Yu Huang. He told her, “Tomorrow is the day of the competition. Don’t practice today. Rest for half a day.”
Yu Huang was shocked. “Tomorrow is the group arena competition?”
“Yes.” Sheng Xiao asked, “Are you nervous?”
Yu Huang’s smile instantly vanished. The day of the arena competition had arrived, which meant that she and Xuanyuan Jing were going to compete officially.
Sheng Xiao took out two bottles of wine from his interspatial ring. He shook the wine pot and asked Yu Huang, “Do you want some?”
Yu Huang looked at the wine, shook her head and laughed. “What is this? A party before being tortured?”
Sheng Xiao said, “Let’s celebrate our victory in advance.”
“alright!”
Yu Huang carried the pressure stone on her back and sat down with Sheng Xiao on a big rock.
Sheng Xiao opened the pot and passed a bottle of wine to Yu Huang. “This is Green Plum Wine. My mother brewed it.”

Even though it was Green Plum Wine, Yu Huang still felt that it was very strong. She told Sheng Xiao, “I can’t hold my liquor well and I’m not good at drinking either. When I drink too much, I like to call people to settle accounts.”
Naturally, Sheng Xiao remembered since Yu Huang had settled accounts with him. “It’s alright. You don’t have your phone with you anyway.”
Yu Huang thought about it and agreed. Relieved, she drank a large mouthful of wine and even burped. “It’s really delicious. Your mother’s craftsmanship is really good.”
Sheng Xiao said subconsciously, “If you like it, you’ll have plenty of chances to drink it in the future.”
Yu Huang could tell what Sheng Xiao was implying. However, she was too focused on the competition to flirt with him.
