The green light converged, and Hanno crouched in front of the Porcelain Jar. From the outside, the Porcelain Jar appeared unchanged, but a door pattern had emerged at its base. Seeing this pattern, Hanno trembled with excitement. The Time-Space Gate, it had to be the Time-Space Gate! She and her Wei Feng could finally be together in reality!
Hanno eagerly poked at the pattern of the Time-Space Gate, and a faint blue light radiated from the bottom of the Porcelain Jar, coalescing in mid-air into a substantial door...
At that moment, Hanno's emotions were hard to describe; anyone who faced immense hope only to be met with disappointment would either contemplate suicide or feel murderous rage. Hanno still had her wits about her, knowing she was in a lawful society, especially if she were still in the Tang Dynasty World...
The Porcelain Jar glimmered again, and Elder Brother Li's voice came from within: "Nono."
Hanno hurriedly leaned over the Porcelain Jar, her eyes reddening as she spoke to the figure inside: "Wei Feng, why is this happening?"
Elder Brother Li watched his beloved shed tears, feeling an unbearable pain. He gently comforted Hanno: "Don't cry. Although the Time-Space Gate is only palm-sized, at least it has appeared, right? As long as we continue to gather gem energy, it will grow larger—large enough for our bodies to pass through."
Hanno felt somewhat comforted and nodded: "But I still feel unwilling. We've worked so hard to collect gems, yet we only got this tiny door. It's so disappointing."
Elder Brother Li replied: "Actually, I think it's quite good."
Hanno asked in confusion: "Why do you think that?"
Elder Brother Li smiled: "This way, we can meet and be together across multiple lifetimes. Don't you think that's wonderful?"
Hanno recalled their happy lives in Dragon World and Tang Dynasty World with Li Wei Feng. Her unhappiness faded away as her eyes began to shine: "Hearing you say that makes me feel like we've gained something. Couples usually wish for three lifetimes of love; we have more than just one lifetime—we have many! We're much better off than those people."
Li Wei Feng smiled warmly: "Ever since we found the Porcelain Jar, we've already started gaining."
Hanno declared: "So we need to work hard to upgrade it."
Porcelain Jar: (*￣︶￣)y, oh yeah, ne, baby.
Li Wei Feng said: "That's an excellent idea; we'll have even more time together."
Hanno gazed at Li Wei Feng's smiling face in the image and said: "Honey, even though we just parted from the Tang Dynasty World, I've already started missing you."
Li Wei Feng's eyes brimmed with affection: "I miss you too, my wife."
Suddenly, the time portal floating in mid-air stirred, and two doors swung open. A man's hand reached out from within. The hand was long and strong, with distinct knuckles, and there were thin calluses on the fingertips and the base of the thumb, quite different from the hands of modern-day homebodies. Hanno's heart raced as she placed her hand against his; his hand immediately gripped hers tightly.
"This time portal is indeed useful; at least it allowed me to hold onto you," Li Wei Feng's voice flowed into Hanno's ears, stirring her emotions.
Hanno softly recited, "Holding your hand."
Li Wei Feng responded, "Growing old together."
"No," Hanno playfully blinked, "dragging you away."
Li Wei Feng chuckled, "Alright, I'll wait for you to come and drag me."
...
In November, Hanno attended two weddings in succession; Yang Yun and Chang Miao both got married. In the past, Mom Han would have looked at her daughter with a sense of loss, but now that she knew her daughter had a fiancé, she was no longer anxious. Instead, she happily boasted to Aunt Han about her son-in-law. All of the Han family's relatives gathered for Chang Miao's wedding, making it one of the most complete family gatherings outside of the New Year celebrations. The older relatives chatted about their children and grandchildren while the young men went off to build the Great Wall. The young women congregated in the bride's lounge, admiring her wedding dress and eagerly inquiring where it was purchased. Chang Miao proudly informed her sisters that her Taobao store specialized in traditional wedding attire and welcomed all unmarried sisters to visit for an eight percent discount.
The idea of selling bridal gowns in her Taobao store came to Chang Miao after seeing her own dress. She specifically asked Hanno if it would be possible for the Embroidered Master to create a set of bridal and groom's attire each month. Hanno naturally agreed; Elder Brother Li had already found an Embroidered Workshop in the capital and secured half of their business. The workshop would be more than happy to make another set of wedding attire for them. Chang Miao's store had already gained fame online, especially for its embroidery products. Now that the bridal gowns were available, demand was through the roof. However, Chang Miao resolutely refused to increase production; she only sold one set each month to keep customers eager.
As a bridesmaid, Hanno found herself even busier than the bride. Fortunately, as a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period, this level of fatigue was nothing to her. During the toast segment of the wedding, Hanno helped shield both newlyweds from most of the alcohol; even Zhu Wenrui, acting as a groomsman, hadn’t drunk as much as she had.
"Hanno, are you alright?" Zhu Wenrui asked with concern. Hanno was his sister-in-law now that Wei Feng was gone; he felt responsible for looking after her in his brother's stead. Yet here she was taking care of him by blocking much of the alcohol.
"I'm fine," Hanno replied as she circulated True Essence within her body to dispel any effects of intoxication. Her mind cleared up as any remaining alcohol dripped from her dangling fingers onto the ground.
"I didn't expect you could hold your liquor so well," Zhu Wenrui remarked in admiration. "Wei Feng used to say you weren't good at drinking."
Hanno smiled, "I developed it later on during work."
She was like this with Han Dad and Mom Han too; in reality, Hanno wasn't very good at drinking at all—two beers would get her tipsy. While working in the south, she chose jobs that didn't require socializing over drinks, only having a couple during annual team dinners or celebrations.
"Are you still adapting well to your current job?" Hanno asked.
Zhu Wenrui nodded, "Brother Chuiyang taught me a lot. I'm getting the hang of it now. This job is really great; I can help many comrades, and I enjoy it. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Hanno smiled slightly, "I can't take all the credit; it's everyone's collective effort."
"But without your leadership, the Military Support Foundation wouldn't have been established."
Hanno could only smile; any further modesty would seem insincere. Fortunately, Brat ran over, interrupting their conversation.
"Auntie, I've mastered all of Taizu Longquan!"
"Is that so? Show me."
"Okay." Brat moved a few meters away from Hanno and Zhu Wenrui, his expression serious as he exuded an air of confidence. Then Brat began to move, throwing punches and kicks with impressive vigor. Zhu Wenrui clapped in applause, and others were drawn in by Brat's performance, with several taking out their phones to record.
The Farm Stay had set up various ancient amusement facilities and decorations for customers. Right across from where Hanno and Zhu Wenrui sat was a row of replica ancient weapon racks, displaying wooden hammers, long knives, wooden spears, and other cold weapon models for people to play with and take photos. As Brat continued his display, he headed toward the weapon rack. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out as Brat lifted his foot and kicked over a weapon rack that even adults couldn't move. Then he executed a backflip, landing gracefully and looking up at Hanno with big blinking eyes, seeking praise!
Everyone was stunned: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||
Zhu Wenrui exclaimed: (*°°*)\
"Impressive!" Zhu Wenrui called Brat over. "Tell your brother who taught you these skills?"
Brat proudly replied, "Auntie taught me. How about that? Pretty amazing, right?"
"Very impressive!" Zhu Wenrui gave Brat a thumbs up and turned to Hanno. "Hanno, I didn't know you were skilled too. You must be quite formidable; when can we spar?"
Hanno smiled, "Sure."
Noticing that Brat was eagerly awaiting his evaluation, Hanno generously offered a "good": "You need to keep practicing; the power of your punches will grow stronger over time. After a while, I'll teach you a set of staff techniques."
"Oh yeah!" Brat jumped up happily.
The parents of Brat, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Han family, approached.
"Nono, thank you! You've given us a big surprise," Brother Han said, his expression still filled with astonishment. He had never imagined that his mischievous son possessed such impressive martial skills.
"Yes, he has been comparing himself to others at home, and I thought he was just restless and looking for fun. I didn't expect him to actually achieve something," Sister Han chuckled. "Should your brother and I prepare a thank-you gift for you?"
Hanno smiled, "If you give me a gift, I won't refuse."
The eldest brother of the Han family replied, "If we keep delaying among ourselves, it would seem distant. It's settled then; once your sister-in-law and I choose a gift, we'll bring it over and also send Binbin to your house to continue learning from you."
Upon hearing that he could go back to the Hanno family, Brat jumped up and started spinning around in joy. His father glared at him and said, "Ungrateful child! Have you forgotten who brought you into this world? You might as well be your aunt's child!"
Brat raised his head defiantly and replied, "As long as Grandpa has no objections, I don't mind!"
Brother Han was so furious he wanted to grab Brat for a spanking. However, Brat swiftly dodged his father's large hand with a twist of his body using Lingbo Weibu. Brother Han refused to give up and continued trying to catch him. Brat kept evading like a slippery mudfish, making it impossible for Brother Han to catch him. Sister Han stood by, covering her mouth with laughter while helping out.
After tiring himself out from chasing, Brother Han stopped and said, "You little rascal! You've got quite the skill at dodging!"
Brat puffed up with pride, "Of course! This young master practices Lingbo Weibu; how could you possibly catch me?"
"Pfft—" Both Sister Han and Zhu Wenrui burst out laughing simultaneously.
Brother Han rubbed his ears and said, "Lingbo Weibu? Kid, do you think you're Duanyu?"
