After demonstrating the key points, Ziyan explained how to flexibly use these boxing techniques: the fist is constructed from the hand, which can transform into a tiger claw, a hook, a single finger, a golden scissors finger, a double finger, a golden shovel finger, and an inverted pinch.
These can be used to jab at vital areas such as the opponent's eyes, throat, and armpits.
Thus, a brief self-defense boxing lesson was completed. Next, after demonstrating, Ling Yuxuan asked Ziyan to imagine him as the enemy and begin the attack.
Without hesitation, Ziyan gritted her teeth and treated Ling Yuxuan as the imagined villain, fiercely launching an attack against him.
...
In the blink of an eye, time flew by.
Ling Yuxuan accompanied Ziyan in practicing boxing for nearly half the night. After repeating the drills countless times until they became proficient, Ling Yuxuan taught Ziyan a set of grappling techniques. They practiced many times before finally stopping; both were now drenched in sweat.
Especially Ziyan, who had pushed herself hard for the first time. When they finally stopped, she was exhausted and soaked through with sweat. The moisture clung to her thin dress against her skin, revealing her delicate figure under the moonlight.
Ling Yuxuan found it hard to look directly at her. He hurriedly escorted Ziyan back to the Zi Family courtyard. Although he felt reluctant, he could only muster the strength to return home alone.
Just as he turned to leave, Ziyan lightly ran over to remind him to bring her master Qin Ming along for a visit tomorrow afternoon. Of course, they had also agreed to continue using their past identities and names in front of Purple Family members and outsiders.
Upon entering the courtyard, Ziyan noticed her mother sitting in the yard.
Ziyan obediently walked over and gently pressed her face against her mother's cheek while softly calling out, "Mom, why haven't you gone in to rest yet? Were you waiting for me? Don't worry; with Brother Yuxuan here, your daughter will definitely be safe."
Zhou raised her hand to touch her little daughter's face and sighed softly. "You say it so lightly; one day when you become a mother yourself, you'll understand how I feel now. As they say, 'A girl grows up and cannot be kept.' You all have grown up; as long as you're happy, that's what matters. Tomorrow I'll have your father go into town and ask someone to start looking for a suitable match for your sister."
"Uh? Oh, heh heh—it's time to help my sister find someone. But Mom, you must find a man who will treat her well."
Thinking back to her previous life when her sister's first husband was a terrible man who indulged in drinking, gambling, and drugs.
As a result, under pressure, the sister had no choice but to leave that scumbag. However, her second marriage is happy; her current Brother-in-law treats her very well and is almost a perfect man.
To take care of the emotional damage caused by her previous marriage, the current Brother-in-law handed over all financial authority and his salary card to the sister, and only her name is on the property deed.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel anxious for my sister. In this feudal ancient era, women have very few chances for a second marriage. If the first one is unhappy, it is almost impossible to pursue or hope for a second happy marriage.
Zhou understood Little Girl's concern for her sister; how could she not feel the same? Both daughters are like flesh from her body; which one would she not hope for their happiness?
No matter the family background of the other party, what matters most is that they treat their own daughter well—that is the hard truth.
As Zhou thought about this, she became determined to look for more suitable candidates and choose carefully until she found a boy who would definitely treat her daughter well before agreeing to the marriage.
Since Zhou Laoda was staying overnight at the Zi Family tonight and there were no extra guest rooms at home, Zi Lao Er had to share a room with Zhou Laoda.
At this moment, she gently led Little Girl into the two daughters' room. Upon entering, she saw Ziying sprawled out in the center of the bed, sleeping with her limbs spread wide. Zhou smiled wryly, shook her head, took off her shoes, and gently pushed Ziying toward the back of the bed, making enough space for her younger daughter to sleep.
Seeing that her mother had also gone to bed, Ziyan quietly climbed onto the bed herself.
Perhaps tired from practicing martial arts earlier, Ziyan quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In her dreams, she saw the man wearing a Golden Mask again. She dreamed that he held her hand as they walked through a field of Blossoms in spring. They walked and walked until they got tired, and then he transformed into a giant python.
He let her sit on his neck while she held onto him tightly with both hands.
Then he took her flying into the blue sky, through white clouds, continuing to fly—such a feeling was incredibly comforting and wonderful.
It wasn't until the only rooster at home began to crow that Ziyan woke up from her dream. She opened her eyes and looked around; her mother had already gotten out of bed without her noticing and was no longer in the room. Only she and her sister were still lying on the bed, with her sister softly snoring at that moment.
Outside, she could hear several people talking. Ziyan didn't want to wake her sister; instead, she quietly got out of bed and left the room.
Once outside, Ziyan saw that Zi Lao Er and Zhou Laoda were already up and dressed neatly, standing in the courtyard clearly preparing to go out.
Since the main road to Grandma's House passes through the village, even though Zhou was very displeased with the people at the Zhi Family Old Residence, he still used a small cloth bag to bring some wild boar meat and some marinated liver for the Purple Old Man to take along for Zi Lao Er.
Zi Lao Er took the small bag from his daughter-in-law's hands and prepared to leave with Zhou Laoda. At that moment, Zhou Laoda noticed that Ziyan had also come out, so he walked over.
He greeted Ziyan, "Yan'er, we're going to pick up your grandparents. You must have worked hard today. Make sure to show off your excellent cooking skills so that your grandparents can enjoy your delicious food."
Hearing her uncle's words, Ziyan smiled lightly and nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle. Just go and come back quickly."
After a moment of thought, she teasingly added, "Remember, Uncle, if you come back late and miss mealtime, don't blame your niece for not waiting for you."
"You little girl, it's that Gu Family boy who spoiled you. You went out with him so late last night? Don't worry; if you get hungry, it won't matter to your uncle. Your dad is here to keep me company while we starve together. Just you wait!"
Zhou Laoda pretended to scold his niece while also teasingly pointing at Zi Lao Er. Seeing Ziyan pouting in frustration made Zhou Laoda burst into loud laughter.
"My dear brother, are you really bickering with your own niece?"
Seeing her daughter at a disadvantage with her uncle and dragging her man into it as well, Zhou couldn't help but chide Zhou Laoda.
"Hehe—" Zhou Laoda shifted from his proud laughter to a sheepish chuckle.
Ziyan felt encouraged by her mother’s support and regained her earlier spirited demeanor. She smiled happily while playfully pouting at Zhou Laoda, saying, "Bad uncle."
