The next day, the sun shone brightly.
On the training field, Jiang Zhen gave Lan Xi and Dugu Yan a few simple instructions, asking them to continue to consolidate the soul power control and martial soul application skills they had learned yesterday, and to try some simple sparring exercises.
"I have some things to take care of today, so you can practice on your own. Remember, mastery comes from constant practice, so don't slack off."
Jiang Zhen spoke calmly, yet his words possessed a convincing power.
Lan Xi nodded obediently: "Brother, don't worry, I will practice hard."
Although she relied on Jiang Zhen to some extent, she also understood that cultivation was ultimately her own business.
After two days of instruction, Dugu Yan was completely convinced by Jiang Zhen and had no objections. She just secretly glanced at Bing Di , who was standing by the training ground with a slightly flushed face but could not hide his joy.
He thought to himself: "The atmosphere between Young Master Jiang and this Bing Di seems a little different today?"
After arranging the two women's cultivation, Jiang Zhen naturally took Bing Di 's hand and left the Dugu residence under the smiling gazes of Lan Xi and Dugu Yan.
This time, it was just the two of them.
Walking on the bustling streets of Heaven Dou City, I felt an atmosphere that was completely different from before.
Bing Di seemed a little shy, but mostly sweet.
She let Jiang Zhen hold her hand, his warm, dry palm completely enveloping her slightly cool, soft hand, bringing her an unprecedented sense of security.
She even unconsciously turned slightly to the side, her petite body pressed tightly against Jiang Zhen, as if she wanted to embed herself into his arms.
Those emerald green eyes, less cold than usual, were now more lively and joyful, curiously observing everything around them.
In her other free hand, she held a string of bright red, glistening candied hawthorns that she had just bought.
She first carefully took a small bite herself, and the sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes in satisfaction, like a kitten that had just stolen some fish.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she held the candied hawthorn to Jiang Zhen's mouth, tilted her little face up, and looked at him with anticipation and the joy of sharing, indicating that he should also try it.
Looking at her charming and innocent appearance, Jiang Zhen felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He lowered his head, took her hand, and bit off a hawthorn.
The sweet and sour taste melts in your mouth, but the atmosphere at this moment is even sweeter.
Today he was dressed in a blue and white casual outfit, the fabric of which was flowing and decorated with subtle water patterns, which made him look even more upright and distinguished.
Her long, light blue hair was tied up with a hairband and hung down her back. Two strands of sky blue hair playfully stuck out at her temples, and the deep blue highlights that were faintly visible under her bangs added a touch of mystery and unruliness in the sunlight.
With a height of over 1.8 meters and a handsome face, he naturally attracts attention on the street.
The Bing Di , who was nestled beside him, was only about 1.58 meters tall, reaching only his shoulder. However, her delicate and aloof face, her emerald green twin ponytails, the faint emerald light flowing under her fair skin, and the four exotic emerald green magic patterns on her cheeks made her stand out from the crowd.
Wearing a white and green long dress, her skin appeared even whiter than snow, making her look stunningly beautiful.
Such a beautiful couple, both with outstanding looks and temperament, walking intimately on the street naturally attracted countless envious or amazed glances.
But they were completely unaware, or rather, utterly indifferent, as they were completely immersed in their own world.
As they walked, they passed a magnificently decorated opera house with posters for today's performances displayed at the entrance.
Jiang Zhen stopped and turned to ask Bing Di , "Bing'er, would you like to go in and take a look? This kind of human performing art might have a unique charm."
Bing Di was full of curiosity about these things about humans, and she was naturally willing to experience them with Jiang Zhen, so she quickly nodded and said, "Okay!"
The two then bought tickets and entered the opera house.
The interior was dimly lit, the stage was magnificent, and the music was melodious.
They found a seat towards the back, with Bing Di nestled next to Jiang Zhen, intently watching the performance on stage.
Although she didn't quite understand the plot and lyrics, the gorgeous sets, the actors' dedicated performances, and the moving music still captivated her, and she would occasionally whisper questions to Jiang Zhen about the plot.
Jiang Zhen patiently explained to her in a low voice, and watching her profile change with joy or sorrow due to the ups and downs of the plot, he felt a sense of peace and satisfaction in his heart.
It was already afternoon when the opera ended.
The two followed the crowd out of the theater. Bing Di was still excitedly discussing the plot they had just witnessed, her little face glowing.
However, this warm and pleasant atmosphere was shattered by an uninvited guest at the theater entrance.
A group of richly dressed, arrogant young noblemen were escorting a young man at the head of the group as they walked out of the theater.
The young man at the head of the group had slightly messy reddish-brown short hair, dark red pupils that held his usual arrogance and frivolity, fair skin, and wore a white robe with blue trim, giving him an overall impression of laziness and unruliness.
It was Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
In order to protect himself from the suppression of his elder brother Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng had to pretend to be a spoiled brat.
At that moment, he had just finished watching the opera and was feeling bored. His gaze casually swept over the crowd at the exit, but suddenly fixed on Bing Di , who had just walked out!
In an instant, an undisguised heat and greed erupted in Xue Beng's eyes!
So beautiful!
He boasted of having seen countless women, but he had never seen a woman with such a unique temperament and stunning beauty!
Those dark green twin ponytails, that fair and translucent skin that seemed to glow with emerald light, that exquisite face, and the mysterious magic markings on her cheeks—all of these assaulted his senses and aroused his intense possessiveness!
A thought flashed through his mind in an instant: if he forcibly took this woman back, he could not only further solidify his reputation as a playboy and incompetent, thus lowering Xue Qinghe's guard, but also satisfy his desire for this stunning beauty. It would be killing two birds with one stone!
Moreover, after careful observation, he noticed that although the man beside the woman was tall and handsome, his aura seemed quite ordinary, and his soul power fluctuations were extremely weak. He appeared to be at most a low-level soul master, not worth worrying about at all.
Among the guards he was accompanied by were Soul King level beings!
"Your Highness, that young lady is absolutely stunning!"
A henchman opportunely urged, "In this Heavenly Dou City, is there any woman you can't have?"
"Exactly! That poor, pathetic guy is no match for such a beauty!"
"Your Highness, go! Cheer up!"
The flattery and encouragement from his followers further swelled Xue Beng's confidence, making him incredibly audacious.
He straightened his robes, put on what he thought was a dashing but actually frivolous smile, and led a group of lackeys, swaggering toward Jiang Zhen and Bing Di , who were about to leave, and blocked their way.
Xue Beng's gaze completely ignored Jiang Zhen, landing greedily on Bing Di , his tone filled with condescending arrogance.
"Beautiful lady, please wait a moment!"
