Chapter 69 Learning the Truth, All Is Well (1)
"Snow:
I read your letters these past few days, and to be honest, I'm incredibly envious. This period is our final exam week, so I've been too busy to reply. I'm sure you understand, right?
We have a selection competition for exchange students next semester, and I think I'll pass. I really want to go to Tiandou City and check it out. I've been to the Ice God Arena or something like that in Tiandou City before, I can't quite remember the name. I also really love Tiandou's market culture. If I get selected, you have to take me there!
I've been under a lot of academic pressure lately, and life in general... well, it's a long story. Hu Lin'er and I are ending things. We'll have one last talk tomorrow and then it'll be over. I still want to see her one more time; we still need to respect each other. Sigh, let's just end this relationship like this. Some details can't be clearly explained in a letter; we'll talk about them when we have the chance, if fate allows, and we meet in person.
I'm so tired. I'll get a good night's sleep tomorrow to relax. Winter break starts in a few days, and I'm planning to go to Xingluo for a trip. I probably won't be able to write back during those days, but I'll write to you when I've set the specific dates.
good luck!
—Thousand Feathers Cold
After writing her reply, Qian Yuhan climbed into bed and chatted with Mu Chen and the other two for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
In his dream, Qian Yuhan recalled his recent moments with Hu Lin'er: studying together, practicing combat together, and strolling together in Moon Lake Park, both with happy smiles on their faces. Suddenly, everything around him vanished, leaving Qian Yuhan alone in a dark space. He was bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
A beam of light shone on a girl fifty meters in front of Qian Yuhan, who stood there with her back to him. Seeing the familiar back, Qian Yuhan immediately recognized her as Hu Lin'er. "Hu Lin'er" turned and glanced at Qian Yuhan, then slowly walked away. Qian Yuhan chased after her, but found he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried…
Qian Yuhan stopped in her tracks, bending over and panting heavily.
Just then, the surrounding space shattered into fragments, and he found himself surrounded by a crimson glow.
A blood-red longsword appeared in front of him, hovering in the air, seemingly summoning Qian Yuhan.
Qian Yuhan looked closely and realized it looked very familiar. Suddenly, she remembered—wasn't this the sword she'd held in that dream she'd had before?!
This sword, which has endured countless battles, seems to be entwined with chilling auras, as if countless wronged souls are howling upon it. The cold killing intent emanates outwards as if it were a tangible force, as if it would freeze everything around it in this endless chill.
The entire crimson space seemed to be covered in ice and snow, every corner gleaming with a chilling light. The icy aura, like a biting wind, swept through every crevice of the space, sending shivers down one's spine. Standing within it, the sense of impending doom intensified, as if countless cold eyes were watching from the shadows. Though no bloodshed was visible, one could clearly feel the deadly threat lurking in the darkness, as if a terrible disaster would strike at any moment. This oppressive atmosphere was suffocating, raising goosebumps and filling one with an indescribable fear and unease.
Just then, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly emerged above the blood-red longsword, as if overlooking the entire space. The moment the eyes opened, the pressure in the entire space suddenly increased exponentially, and Qian Yuhan was so overwhelmed by this pressure that he could not get up at all and had to lie prostrate on the ground.
Qian Yuhan’s first impression of this power was that it was terrifying and powerful. She felt that even her Limit Douluo father was far less than one-tenth of its power!
The pair of blood-red eyes disappeared after a minute. Qian Yuhan felt that everything was so real, and the oppressive aura was causing him pain all over his body. The blood-red sphere of light that had been suppressed by the Sword of Light was also showing signs of breaking free from the Sword of Light's control.
Qian Yuhan opened her eyes and found that it was still dark, and she was covered in sweat, her bedsheets soaked. Without time to think, Qian Yuhan immediately sent her consciousness into her spiritual sea to check.
Upon entering the Sea of Spirit, the once calm surface of the sea is now turbulent, and a whirlpool has even formed on the sea of spirit, located precisely where the Divine Sword of Light and the blood-red ball of light are.
Qian Yuhan hurriedly infused his soul power into it. Qian Yuhan's body contained very pure light elements. He was naturally extremely sensitive to this light element, and with the tempering he had received from the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, his control over the light element had become increasingly proficient.
After an hour of stabilization, the Divine Sword of Light suppressed the light sphere once again, and the overflowing energy was absorbed by Qian Yuhan, raising his soul power to level 39!
Qian Yuhan didn't go for her morning run today. After taking a hot shower in the bathroom, she went back to bed and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
After the exams, Qian Yuhan and her three friends naturally decided to laze around in their dorm. Mu Chen, Tang Xuan, and Tang Chen also sensed that Qian Yuhan's soul power had become even more refined when they woke up in the morning. They couldn't help but marvel at what an incredible existence this was, and they realized that they had unknowingly widened the gap between them again.
Time flew by, and evening arrived quickly. Yesterday, Qian Yuhan and Fang Ya had relayed a message to Hu Lin'er: meet her at Moon Lake Park at 8 PM.
At 7:50, Qian Yuhan arrived early at the lakeside in the center of Moon Lake Park.
Just as I was about to reach the lakeside, I saw that familiar figure standing there, gazing at the beautiful scenery.
"You've come..." Hu Lin'er said without turning around, seemingly sensing Qian Yuhan's arrival.
"Hmm, why did you come early? Weren't we supposed to meet at eight o'clock?"
Hu Lin'er smiled slightly: "Aren't you the same? I didn't arrive much earlier than you."
Qian Yuhan walked to Hu Lin'er's side with a smile, while Hu Lin'er pointed to the moon in the distance.
Hu Lin'er said softly, "Look at that moon, it's so beautiful."
Qian Yuhan nodded and slowly said, "Yes, it's beautiful."
"Let's... leave it at that. I was sorry at first, but I—"
“I understand, I understand everything…” Qian Yuhan interrupted Hu Lin’er, “Let’s give each other a slightly better ending.”
Hu Lin'er nodded slightly, tears streaming down her cheeks as she couldn't hold back her tears: "If, if I could choose, I would rather never be in this kind of family again. It's so tiring."
"Mm," Qian Yuhan replied to Hu Lin'er.
"Yuhan, I've been so happy during the time I've spent with you. Really, so very happy. Whenever I'm bothered by things at home, you always make me feel better. I also really liked how your face turned red when I teased you, hahaha."
Qian Yuhan watched Hu Lin'er smile, and she smiled too, but as she smiled, tears streamed down her face...
"Let's end it here, Yuhan. I don't want other people's dirty thoughts and plans to taint you, okay? Let's forget about this relationship too. I'm leaving..."
Hu Lin'er didn't look at Qian Yuhan, who was staring at the lake, lost in thought.
Then he turned back to look in the direction Hu Lin'er had left, muttering to himself, "Can we really forget? Heh, I'm afraid we both understand that this memory might stay with us for a lifetime... I just wish each other well—"

I'm so sorry everyone, I'm still in the hospital getting IV drips and can only manage one chapter a day. I'll be discharged this weekend, and next week I'll try to resume two updates a day depending on how I feel!! This is a good time to properly plan the rest of the story; the Heaven Dou Royal Academy arc is about to begin. The female lead is finally going to meet the male lead, and they'll no longer be just pen pals. After they officially meet, it'll definitely be pure love, right? As for whether I'll write a harem story later, brothers, feel free to leave comments. Let's stick to pure love for now. Also, there's the main villain, which I plan to introduce in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy arc. This villainous organization is huge and incredibly powerful; their leader is a god! Can you guess what kind of god—
I'm going back to getting my IV drip. Please urge me to update more, I promise I'll update every day, please give me some energy! This awful surgery hurt so much, waaaaah!
