However, a boy like him wrapped in a pink scarf looked somewhat out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it look nice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, I knitted this scarf!\" Xue Yuantong said with a giggly laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning rode his bike with Xue Yuantong, and as winter approached, cycling grew colder, with the icy wind cutting into their faces like knives. Jiang Ning cast a spell to block the cold wind and emitted warmth, enveloping them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong didn't feel the cold at all. She looked ahead at Jiang Ning blocking the wind for her and secretly planned to find more ways to keep him warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning still made it to school just in the nick of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked towards Building 3, vividly remembering how the day after they'd moved classrooms, Xue Yuantong arrived at school and headed straight for their old class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped outside the classroom, stared at the empty room, stood rooted to the spot, then after a while, she remembered her Class 8 had moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Xue Yuantong felt a bit lost and was distracted several times during class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning realized she was someone who cherished memories; only after more than a week in the new class did her sense of loss finally fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving in the new classroom, Jiang Ning took a seat by the window, and Xue Yuantong sat beside him. They were desk partners now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia, sitting in front of them, was playing with her phone while Dan Kaiquan, beside her, shamelessly tried to strike up a conversation, which Bai Yuxia ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu, sitting behind them, poked Jiang Ning, \"Check your QQ.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning took out his phone, and there was a message on QQ: \"Dan Kaiquan looks like a happy dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was sent by Geng Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone knows he likes Bai Yuxia, and he thinks he's being discreet, assuming others don't notice,\" Geng Lu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning chatted with Geng Lu for a while; then he noticed a red dot on his QQ Moments, clicked it, and saw the first post was from Class 8's Yu Wen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is one of the top ten composers in the world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's unrivaled in the music industry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face is dubbed the most perfect in the world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brands around the globe are vying to design clothes for him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is Quan Zhilong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Zhilong, you are my faith.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Zhilong was a star from a Korean group, extremely famous during this period, with countless female fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post had garnered over seventy likes, and the comments below were mostly lavish praises, full of naive adoration, until a distinct comment blended in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Wen, if your dad and Quan Zhilong got into a fight, who would you side with? (picking nose)\" This was sent by Ma Shicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen replied, \"I wouldn't help either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng: \"I'm dying of laughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another classmate commented: \"Ma Shicheng, go die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was posted by their classmate Jiang Yanan, who was not short, standing at 168 centimeters, with exceptionally fair skin and fairly good looks—a die-hard Quan Zhilong fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng didn't care what she looked like. When it came to women, except in special circumstances, he was never gentle-handed and promptly bombarded her with retorts using his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the post, there was a thirty-something-long thread of them bickering. How could Jiang Yanan, who didn't spend years online gaming like Ma Shicheng, compete against him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning refreshed the page, and the subsequent posts were mostly one-sided victories from Ma Shicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refreshing again, the post disappeared—seems like Yu Wen had deleted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jiang Ning's Divine Sense, Jiang Yanan rolled up her book, infuriated and stormed over to where Ma Shicheng was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng had just put down his phone and was still reveling in his victory when he saw Jiang Yanan approaching. Cool as an experienced dog, he retorted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's up, coming to beat me in person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you worthy of that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng shot back, \"Isn't that what you're doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the one farting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng started rallying his allies—Wang Longlong, Guo Kunnan, Hu Jun—and after explaining the situation to the three, he asked, \"Guys, am I wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ma, you're absolutely right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their agreement, Ma Shicheng gave Jiang Yanan a sidelong glance, feeling victorious again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan left in a huff, and Ma Shicheng took out his phone, ready to mock her a few more times. However, upon opening the chat with Jiang Yanan, he discovered she had removed him as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter, there were still several pretty girls in class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During evening self-study, it was Chemistry teacher Guo Ran's class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After class, Hu Jun called Jiang Ning away, and when he returned, he had a stack of test papers in hand, along with a packet of snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test papers were for his dear classmates, while the snacks were for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jiang Ning distributed the test papers, he opened the snacks and took out a can of walnuts, which had been shelled and coated with a layer of sugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong watched eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning tasted two nuts and found they weren't bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong's eyes followed the walnut pieces as they moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to tease her any longer, Jiang Ning pulled out two pieces of paper and poured her a handful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ning, you're so kind. Don't worry, I won't eat your snacks for free; to show my gratitude, I'll fetch water for you.\" She swallowed a walnut and grabbed Jiang Ning's water cup to run to the water dispenser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen was a step too late and had to wait for the next batch of hot water to be ready. She chatted with Shen Qing'e, her tone envious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Class One is so lucky, having two water dispensers – that's pure bliss. They really deserve to be the experimental class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that one of them was even bought by their class teacher out of his own pocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just odd – why does their water dispenser look exactly like the one in our class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing'e was about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Sheng interjected, \"If you're so envious of Class One, why don't you just transfer there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing'e's face turned sour instantly; she had just finished a month's turn of duty for Yang Sheng only a couple of days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Shen Qing'e wasn't responding, Yang Sheng felt a bit uncomfortable as she now had to clean up herself again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yang Sheng was stewing in her misery, Jiang Yanan stood up for Yu Wen. As fans of the same celebrity, they were comrades-in-arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like you could transfer to Class One?\" Jiang Yanan challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Sheng's eyes lit up as she rubbed her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning scrolled through Tieba, arriving at his private messages and began to read routinely until he paused at a certain message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The picture of the wood you posted – I showed it to my granddad back home. He said he has seen it before when he was young; they called it 'Iron Knot Wood' locally because it's particularly hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not available now, but my grandfather mentioned that he witnessed it being used to build a bed for a wealthy family who, upon moving away, dumped the bed into a lake since the wood sinks when it meets water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really want it, I can send you the address of the lake, and you can try to find someone to salvage it. If you do find it and think my information was helpful, I don't need the five thousand, just send me five hundred. I'm really short on cash for food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning asked for the address, and the other party quickly sent over the lake's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't far, situated in Huai City, around three hundred li from Yuzhou. With Jiang Ning's current speed, it would take roughly an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wood was the 'Biling Wood' from the Cultivation World, which sinks upon contact with water and remains undecayed even after centuries submerged – a crucial material for crafting Spirit Boats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning had been coveting a Spirit Boat for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I could go to Huai City tonight to have a look.' Jiang Ning thought, knowing a quick scan with his Divine Sense would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, Jiang Ning looked out at the night sky and realized he might not be able to go after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about to snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning's cultivation realm wasn't very high, and traveling for long would result in leaving tracks in the snow, which wasn't very safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature dropped during evening self-study, and some students who were dressed lightly started to shiver, including Dan Kaiquan who was quivering at his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't you keep still?\" Bai Yuxia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan responded, \"I'm converting food to heat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia ignored him and breathed on her hand holding the pen, then continued writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan turned to see Jiang Ning, who wore even less than he did, and felt a sense of camaraderie:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ning, aren't you cold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not cold,\" Jiang Ning answered, channeling his Mana to extend a bit of warmth to Dan Kaiquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan shivered momentarily, then suddenly felt warm and stopped shaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not cold either,\" he blurted out and began to show off to Bai Yuxia:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, with my constitution, I can easily handle this weather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to wear more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things like cotton-padded jackets, heh, unnecessary!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his performance, Jiang Ning silently withdrew the Mana, and Dan Kaiquan's teeth started to chatter again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the third class of the evening self-study, snowflakes began to fall through the dome, sweeping across the windows. Some sharp-eyed students spotted the snowflakes in the night sky, and cries of \"It's snowing!\" echoed through the classroom as the students rejoiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the lectern, Huang Zhongfei smiled faintly and stretched out his five fingers, declaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five minutes, everyone go out and enjoy the snow for five minutes. Keep it down, and I'll be responsible for any consequences!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Class leader, you're so cool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huang Zhongfei, I love you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class 8 students rushed to the corridor to watch the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, in 2013, Yuzhou's first snowfall had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>",1741,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.568Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ed42fe7b7e590f6c11dbe5de706913681f1d5f6e6af7b98e105bbba5ed7e9c9","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-105","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-103",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
