People in Qin Dynasty: Opening the treasure chest, I took off!

Chapter 29 Daily Cultivation

The Snow Woman's heart skipped a beat.

"What...what do you want to say?"

Xia Bing looked at her.

I want to say...

He paused, seemingly considering his words.

"I want to say that I've been thinking about us."

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I've thought about it a lot."

The snow woman stared intently at him, her heart pounding.

"And then?" she asked.

"Then..." Xia Bing took a deep breath, "I want to give you an answer."

"What's the answer?"

Xia Bing reached out and gently took her hand.

"Snow Woman, would you... like to stay by my side?"

The snow woman was stunned.

"To continue...staying by your side?"

"Yes." Xia Bing nodded, "Just like now."

"You don't need to answer right away," he continued. "I just want you to know that you...are special to me."

"special?"

"Yes." Xia Bing looked at her. "You're the person I want to protect."

"That will never change."

The snow woman looked at him, her eyes reddening even more.

"Xia Bing... what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is..." Xia Bing smiled wryly, "I haven't decided yet whether I want to accept you."

"But I'm certain that in my heart... you're not a friend, nor family."

"Who are you……"

He paused.

"You are the person I want to protect."

The snow woman looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"How...how could you say such a thing..."

Why not?

"Because..." the Snow Woman choked out, "if you say that, I'll believe you..."

"It's true." Xia Bing reached out and gently wiped away her tears. "I didn't lie to you."

The snow woman looked at him, and her defenses completely crumbled.

"Xia Bing..." She threw herself into his arms, "Do you know how long I've waited to hear these words..."

Xia Bing hugged her and gently patted her back.

"I know."

"I know everything."

The two embraced for a long time.

Until Jingni came out of the house.

She watched this scene, her eyes flickering.

"Snow Woman?" She walked over.

The Snow Maiden looked up, saw Jing Ni, and quickly broke free from Xia Bing's embrace.

"Sister Jingni...I..."

"No need to explain," Jingni interrupted her. "I saw it all."

The snow woman lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

Jing Ni walked up to her and suddenly smiled.

"Snow Woman, congratulations."

"Congratulations... to me?"

"Yes." Jingni nodded. "You've waited so long, you've finally got the answer."

The snow woman was stunned.

"Sister Jingni, aren't you...aren't you angry?"

"Angry?" Jing Ni laughed. "Why would I be angry?"

"I...I stole it from you..."

"Xia Bing is a monster," Jing Ni interrupted her. "He's a human."

"And..." she glanced at Xia Bing, "I knew this day would come."

"You...knew all along?"

"Yes." Jing Ni nodded. "A man like Xia Bing is destined to have more than just me as his woman."

"It's better to be open and aboveboard than to let him do it secretly."

She reached out and took the snow woman's hand.

"Snow Woman, from now on we're sisters."

"Sister...sister?"

"Yes." Jing Ni nodded. "They're all Xia Bing's women, aren't they sisters?"

The snow woman looked at her, and her eyes reddened again.

"Sister Jingni..."

"Don't cry," Jingni laughed. "You won't look pretty with a smudged face."

The Snow Woman stopped crying and started laughing.

"Sister Jingni, you're so kind."

"Of course," Jingni laughed. "I'm your older sister."

Xia Bing stood aside, watching them, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Jing Ni..."

"Stop talking." Jingni looked at him. "I understand."

"you……"

"Don't worry," Jingni laughed, "I'm not angry."

"I was just thinking about how to manage you, you fickle radish."

Xia Bing smiled helplessly.

"I'm not a womanizer."

"No?" Jing Ni raised an eyebrow. "Then what about the Snow Woman?"

"That...that was an accident."

"Hmph." Jing Ni rolled her eyes at him. "An accident? You've certainly had your share of accidents."

The snow woman watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

This moment is warm and beautiful.

The sunlight shone on them, making them feel especially warm.

……

(A bright and sunny morning in Xinzheng City.)

(Some stories have finally found their answers.)

A few more days passed.

Xia Bing's life became more and more comfortable.

Every morning, Jingni and Xue Nu accompany him to practice swordsmanship.

In the evening, two women kept him company and chatted with him to relieve his boredom.

Life is enjoyable.

But he didn't expect that trouble would follow.

……

That morning.

Xia Bing was reading in the courtyard when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open it." Jing Ni stood up.

A moment later, she led the two people into the courtyard.

Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji.

"Young Master Xia," Zi Nu said with a smile, "it's been a long time."

"Miss Zi Nu?" Xia Bing was somewhat surprised. "What brings you here?"

"I was just passing by and thought I'd take a look," Zi Nu said with a smile. "You don't mind, do you?"

"Please come in."

Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji entered the courtyard.

Yan Lingji's gaze lingered on Jing Ni and Xue Nu for a moment, a smile playing on her lips.

"Jingni, Xuenu, it's been a long time."

"Miss Yan Ling Ji," Jing Ni said calmly.

"Purple Maiden." Snow Maiden nodded.

The four stood facing each other, the atmosphere somewhat subtle.

Xia Bing looked at them and felt that something was off.
