Chapter 504: Talking Cat

The cultivation of the Jingqi Realm focuses on the quantity and control of the true qi.

With Li Xuan's current true qi, there is still a long way to go before he can spread the true qi all over his body.

The quantity is not yet reached, let alone control.

After Li Xuan understood the training method of the Jingqi Realm, he also understood why Master Ye did not teach him these things before, but just let him concentrate on deepening his understanding of the five elements.

The Yin and Yang true qi in his body originally relied on the special Yin and Yang True Extreme Jue to obtain a fixed daily growth, and the growth progress was relatively limited.

Master Ye was also afraid that Li Xuan would be impatient and mess up his state of mind.

But when Li Xuan absorbed the cold for Princess Ankang, he found that he could use the power of cold to increase the Yin and Yang true qi, so he thought of breaking through the fourth level as soon as possible.

But now it seems that this matter is not as simple as he thought.

Even with the help of the cold in Princess Ankang's body, it seems impossible for his Yin and Yang true qi to reach the level of the fourth level of Jingqi Realm within this year at least.

The previous cultivation had been going smoothly. In less than a year, Li Xuan had broken through realms one after another, from a kitten with no cultivation to a fifth-grade destiny person who now controls the Yin-Yang Qi.

But cultivation cannot always be so smooth. At least for now, Li Xuan has to stay in the fifth-grade realm for a while.

But at least Li Xuan can deepen his understanding of the five elements and continue to strengthen his strength, so he is not doing nothing.

And he still has a lot of skills to practice, such as the ghost crying and god howling for speaking.

Li Xuan communicated with Ye Lao for a while and asked a lot of questions about his cultivation. Some of them were the problems he encountered at the moment, and some were out of pure curiosity.

Ye Lao also answered everything he knew. As long as he could say it, he told Li Xuan everything.

Today's trip to Qianxing Pavilion, Li Xuan gained a lot. After seeing that the sky outside had darkened unknowingly, he said goodbye to Ye Lao and left.

"Ah Xuan, you should not be impatient when practicing."

"Even if you are a destiny person, you should do the same."

"Strength is not only reflected in the external realm, the realm here is also very important."

Old Ye sent Li Xuan out of Qianxing Pavilion, and while admonishing him, he stretched out his finger and pointed at his heart.

Li Xuan understood that this was Old Ye asking him to pay attention to the cultivation of his state of mind.

He nodded immediately, and then said:

"Good (meow)!"

Old Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard the response in his ear.

Li Xuan did meow, but at the same time, the word "good" that sounded a little childish also rang in his ears.

Old Ye knew that this was Li Xuan speaking with the help of ghosts and gods.

When Li Xuan first started practicing this matter, he also asked him for advice.

This method was recommended to Li Xuan by him.

But Old Ye didn't expect that Li Xuan had achieved some results in such a short time.

Old Ye couldn't help but squat down, stroked Li Xuan's round little head with his fingers, and said:

"The true energy is not condensed enough, it will definitely dissipate if it is far away."

"But there is no rush, just wait for the day when it will come naturally."

"Not far away!"

If it was Li Xuan before he came to Qianxing Pavilion, he would be discouraged when he heard this.

But he found that he was much calmer now, and obviously he was not as impatient as before after talking with Old Ye.

"Hmm."

Li Xuan nodded obediently, answered, and then climbed over the wall and disappeared.

Old Ye looked at the wall that Li Xuan had just climbed over, his eyes full of smiles.

Back to Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan found that two girls were waiting for him to eat, and the table was full of delicious imperial meals.

But the two girls were not thinking about these delicacies, but holding a wooden ball in their hands, studying a pile of red and black wooden objects.

Li Xuan quietly approached, then stuck his head out from under the table and asked the two girls:

"What meow?"

Princess Ankang and Yu'er were stunned at the same time, holding the objects in their hands, and looked down at Li Xuan.

The two girls blinked their beautiful big eyes, but for a moment, no one dared to speak.

Princess Ankang was still bold and asked Yu'er beside her:

"Sister Yu'er, was Ah Xuan's meow a little strange just now?"

"I seem to hear other sounds."

Yu'er also frowned and stared at Li Xuan, and nodded solemnly.

"Your Highness, I seem to have heard it too."

"It seems that there is a childish voice, asking 'what?'"

Princess Ankang and Yu'er looked at Li Xuan silently, as if they were expecting Li Xuan to say something again so that they can confirm it carefully.

Li Xuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, but still suppressed his shame and said with a red face:

"That's right, meow."

Seeing Li Xuan admit it, Princess Ankang immediately hugged Li Xuan excitedly and said happily:

"Ah Xuan, you can speak now!"

"Sister Yu'er, did you hear it just now?"

"The voice is so soft and so sweet."

"As expected of my Ah Xuan, so cute!!!"

Yu'er nodded, stroking her with her hands, and said to Li Xuan coquettishly:

"Ah Xuan, say a little more, say a little more so we can listen."

The two girls' reaction made Li Xuan even more embarrassed, and he was reluctant to continue talking.

He was reluctant to speak before because his voice was not good and he could only say two or three words at most.

But after being enlightened by Mr. Ye, Li Xuan found that he was too ambitious and too perfectionist.

Many things have to be done step by step.

Even though he can't speak well now, Princess Ankang and Yu'er can be so happy even if he just says two or three words.

Seeing their happy looks, Li Xuan couldn't help but regret it and felt that he should have spoken earlier.

In front of Princess Ankang and Yu'er, Li Xuan always regarded himself as an elder in his heart, wanting to take good care of them and establish his own majesty.

But in the eyes of Princess Ankang and Yu'er, Li Xuan is also the kitten who should be pampered. They must also want to shelter Li Xuan from the wind and rain.

Li Xuan was teased by the two girls for a while, and gradually got used to it.

Compared with forbearing and preparing, and achieving perfection at one time, it is better to do it roughly first and then improve it slowly.

He also knew that this was a defect in his character. He was afraid of failure, afraid of making a fool of himself, and even more afraid of disappointing others.

But it was this kind of character that made him take a long detour unknowingly.

What is failure?

It is nothing more than the first step towards a better state.

Failure is instructive. People who really know how to think can learn as much from failure as from success.

Besides, a rough start is not even a real failure.

Li Xuan saw that Princess Ankang and Yu'er tried every means to make him say more, so he had to do as they wished.

He pointed his tail at the pile of things that the two girls had just studied and asked:

"What meow?"

Princess Ankang and Yu'er smiled at each other, knowing that Li Xuan was shy, they stopped teasing too much.

"Ah Xuan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to deliver a message today, and there will be another competition tomorrow." Princess Ankang said.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel strange, after all, it had not been a few days since the last competition.

But after thinking about it, he immediately realized that it was indeed the day again.

The last Monopoly game lasted for a full twenty days. After that, Li Xuan was busy with various things, helping Emperor Yongyuan to speculate on antiques, establishing the Red Scarf Team, and helping Emperor Yongyuan to reduce the expenses of the royal private treasury. During this period, he also went to Qianxing Pavilion to return a book.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the next Imperial Garden game.

In a blink of an eye, it was November. In another two months, this year will be over.

The game has continued until now. On the scoreboard, Princess Ankang has gained an unshakable advantage and locked the victory in advance.

For the remaining two games, it is estimated that the enthusiasm of others will be greatly reduced, after all, the biggest prize has been won by Princess Ankang.

But the monthly game rewards are still very tempting.

Especially last month, Princess Ankang’s game reward directly got the status of the royal silver envoy.

Princess Ankang is also a new official who has made three fires since taking office. She directly reduced the monthly allowance for the harem, causing the concubines and princes and princesses to complain.

From this aspect alone, they really don’t want to see Princess Ankang win the last two games again.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble will come out.

"Here, this is the event of this month's competition, wooden shooting."

"I played it a few times when I was outside the palace before, but I'm not very familiar with it. I'm studying it with Sister Yu'er."

When the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a message today, it was thoughtful to send a thin book about wooden shooting, which wrote the rules of wooden shooting and the way of this month's competition.

Wooden shooting, also known as fifteen-pillar ball, is a game in which players take turns to hit fifteen bamboo-shaped wooden pillars with wooden balls.

The fifteen bamboo-shaped wooden pillars are divided into red and black.

On the red bamboo-shaped wooden pillars, there are written: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trust, warmth, kindness, courtesy, frugality, and tolerance. A total of ten words, knocking down one adds one point.

On the black bamboo-shaped wooden pillars, there are written: slow, arrogant, flattering, greedy, and abused. A total of five words, knocking down one deducts one point.

During the game, fifteen bamboo shoots are placed at one end of a flat field, and the thrower is at the other end, hitting the bamboo shoots at the other end with a wooden ball. The number of bamboo shoots knocked down is counted, and the one with the highest score wins.

After listening to the rules, Li Xuan felt that it was very similar to bowling. He didn't expect that there was such a game in Daxing.

It seems that Emperor Yongyuan also wants to let the princes and princesses have some fun. After all, the competition in the past few months has become more and more tense.

Especially when the situation in the court changed, the content of the game in the imperial garden was also related to many things in the court, which made all the princes and princesses nervous.

"It seems that the last two months are planned to have some fun."

Li Xuan said in his heart.

"By the way, the eunuch who came to deliver the message said that there is an additional bonus for this month's competition." Princess Ankang suddenly said.

"It seems that if you win the competition, you can restore the monthly allowance of your palace to the amount before the reduction."

"In addition, there is a mysterious play-off. I heard that the prize is also very generous, but it is not specifically said what it is."

Princess Ankang's words made Li Xuan's face change immediately.

"Isn't this a follow-up to the reduction of the monthly allowance?"

"What does Emperor Yongyuan mean?"

"You think it is difficult to appease the public anger, and it is better to relieve it than to block it, and then give those people a chance to restore the monthly allowance?"

Li Xuan felt a headache for Emperor Yongyuan's tricks.

Emperor Yongyuan seemed to have some strange ideas every month.

Or, he was sure that Princess Ankang would win this month's competition again.

"I just don't know what this play-off means."

Li Xuan was trying to figure out Emperor Yongyuan's intentions here. However, after the two girls studied Mu She for a while, they turned around and started studying Li Xuan again.

"Axuan, why can you suddenly speak?"

"Did you just start talking today?"

"Will you say anything else?"

"Your voice is so cute. It won't change in the future, right?"

"You must never change your voice to another one."

"Why do other sounds ring in our ears when you meow, causing us to listen to you and always end up with a meow?"

Princess Ankang and Yu'er suddenly turned into curious babies and asked Li Xuan questions, which made Li Xuan feel dizzy for a while.

With so many questions, it was difficult for Li Xuan to answer them with words. When he was about to write with his tail, Princess Ankang grabbed his tail.

"No, no!"

"Axuan can speak now, so we have to listen to you speak instead of watching you write."

"Oh, I read a book all day today, and my eyes are already sore."

Princess Ankang pretended to be pitiful as she rubbed her eyes.

Yu'er on the side also cooperated. While holding down Li Xuan's tail, they hugged Princess Ankang and said:

"Your Highness is so pitiful."

"Axuan must not be able to bear to let His Highness continue to bother you, right?"

"Speak slowly, I believe His Highness will listen to you patiently."

Seeing the tacit cooperation of the two girls, feeling the tight grip on her big tail, I regretted for the first time my rash words today.

Next, strange sounds came from Jingyang Palace. As long as someone said two or three words, they would be followed by a meow, as if the cat in Jingyang Palace suddenly liked to interrupt others.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er listened to Li Xuan's words attentively, and imitated Li Xuan from time to time. They meowed in response to Li Xuan's anger and punched the two girls.

During this night, the three little ones only meowed all night. When the sky outside the window dimmed, they realized that they had meowed all night long.

"Oh, it's already dawn!"

"Your Highness has a competition today."

Yu'er couldn't help but said anxiously.

Last night, the three of them meowed together all night long.

Yu'er looked at the sky and then asked:

"Your Highness, are you hungry? Do you need to eat something and then squint for a while?"

"It's still some time before the game starts, so it should be enough time to take a rest."

Princess Ankang has always been a good baby who goes to bed early and gets up early. It is rare for her to stay up all night, which makes Yu'er feel nervous.

"Sister Yu'er, I'm just hungry, but not sleepy. Let's just have something to eat."

Princess Ankang touched her belly and said with a smile.

She was quite energetic and didn't look like someone who had just finished an all-nighter.

Princess Ankang's current physique is different from that of ordinary people, so not sleeping for one night really doesn't have much impact.

Li Xuan and Yu'er also have cultivation levels, and they also don't feel tired.

It's just that Yu'er was concerned and her reaction was a little too big.

Yu'er went to prepare food, while Princess Ankang petted the cat out of habit.

"Axuan, just speak when there are no outsiders in the future."

"I believe that everyone will like you more when you talk."

"I especially like the sound of your little tits!"

Li Xuan immediately took one of Princess Ankang's hands and bit it gently.

"Humph, you know the voice that makes fun of me."

"I'll bite you to death, you damn girl!"

Princess Ankang looked at Li Xuan's exaggerated expression of widening his eyes and enlarging his mouth. She felt her hands were wet and warm, and felt itchy. She couldn't help but giggle.
