Chapter 115: Water Attribute Resistance 1

Ding! Your body barely completed a resistance to the cold, congratulations you have earned the reward Water Attribute Resistance +1!

Wang Ping'an earnestly practiced a round of "Worship the Moon Classic", and although at first he felt as if he were falling into an ice cellar, he then used the warm current flowing from his artificial dantian, which in an instant dispelled the cold around his body.

It let him effectively experience the feeling of ice and fire in one.

Longing for transcendence, longing for death!

What a pity.

What disappointed him was that after completing one round of "Worship the Moon Classic", although he could feel his body had been strengthened, the effect was exceedingly slight.

First, "Worship the Moon Classic" might just be a hackneyed cultivation method.

Second, after such a long time his physique had already been noticeably enhanced by the "Purple Sun Classic", so further strengthening from "Worship the Moon Classic" naturally yielded limited effect.

Just that.

What he did not expect was that upon finishing the practice, a mechanical, cold voice suddenly rang in his mind; this is not something that has never happened before.

He just hadn't thought…

What he obtained turned out to be a new attribute!

Water Attribute Resistance!

'Good stuff, this is good stuff, I didn't expect practicing "Worship the Moon Classic" to have this effect!'

Wang Ping'an's eyes instantly brightened.

Admittedly he hasn't tried it yet, so he doesn't know what Water Attribute Resistance is useful for.

But based on his many years of boring game playing, it should be something good against water‑type spells.

Once Water Attribute Resistance is raised to a certain level, a powerful water spell in front of him might not even cause superficial injury; not even a single hair could be broken.

Originally.

Wang Ping'an does not intend to continue practicing "Worship the Moon Classic", after all, this unorthodox Qi refining method yields benefits inferior to those of other skills.

Never thought.

Practicing "Worship the Moon Classic" actually grants Water Attribute Resistance!

'If I run into a fire, could I also gain Fire Attribute Resistance?'

Wang Ping'an said thoughtfully.

He thought so, but given his current situation he cannot try, so he can only suppress the thought and continue practicing "Worship the Moon Classic".

Ding! You have fully practiced a round of "Worship the Moon Classic", arduously resisting the cold intrusion, congratulations you have earned the reward: Water Attribute Resistance +1!

One mechanical, cold voice after another rang in his mind, and Wang Ping'an, lost in practicing "Worship the Moon Classic", only had a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, which was harder to suppress than an AK.

After a night of practice, he didn't know how many rounds of "Worship the Moon Classic" he had refined, nor how much Water Attribute Resistance he had gained.

Until his Spirit Power was exhausted and his body could no longer resist, he finally fell into a wonderful dream.

Dongzhu, Dongzhu, come out quickly!

A series of urgent shouts startled Wang Ping'an from his deep sleep; he instinctively opened his drowsy eyes and saw his mother already up and leaving the house.

He quickly used the skill Beast Taming to wake the sleeping Hei Mao Bu Tou beside the baby carriage.

Meow!

Hei Mao Bu Tou let out a dissatisfied meow, looking resentfully at Wang Ping'an who had woken it.

'You go after it, and when you return I'll give you a shot of "Qi Refinement Guidance (Spirit Companion Chapter)"!'

Wang Ping'an used the skill Beast Taming to convey his thought to Hei Mao Bu Tou, and the cat's resentful gaze was instantly replaced by a pleased expression.

Since beating up Peregrine Falcon Little Gray to secure his top position, Hei Mao Bu Tou has not relaxed vigilance for a day; whenever it gets a chance it deliberately bullies Peregrine Falcon Little Gray. It's not that this dog thing is snatching benefits from it!

Even the farm dog Little Black is bullied so badly that it dares not stay near Wang Ping'an's cradle.

During this period, even though it deliberately bullied Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, this dog thing still received plenty of benefits from Wang Ping'an, its progress was rapid, posing a great danger to it.

Deep down it is full of tension!

Naturally it wants more benefits, but does not want to be caught up by Peregrine Falcon Little Gray.

Fearing Peregrine Falcon Little Gray might surpass it, it worries it will seek revenge.

Mom, why are you calling me?

Liu Dongzhu asked, puzzled.

At this moment in the main hall, besides Zhang Guihua, Wang Lin was also present, both wearing anxious expressions.

It seemed something major had happened!

Zhang Guihua handed over a sheet of paper, saying impatiently, 'Dongzhu, take a look quickly, what does this say?'

In their household, apart from that brute, only Liu Dongzhu can read; Liu Dongzhu can read because that brute taught her well back then.

Although the scholar official did not oppose girls attending his school, and the Village Chief did not stop it, the villagers still rarely send their own daughters to study.

This novel you to

It's not that they are short‑sighted and don't know the benefits of studying.

With the scholar official and even that brute as living examples, who doesn't know the benefits of studying?

They do not send their own daughters to school because their family lacks extra money; they can only afford to support one or two children's education, and every household has many children and grandchildren.

When there is an opportunity, naturally it must be given to the boys!

It's not exactly a preference for sons over daughters—though, of course, one could call it a son‑preference mindset.

Who says a married‑out daughter is like spilled water; the girl belongs to another family, she may still remember her parents.

But her children have their own grandparents, so they wouldn't care much about those external grandparents.

A hundred years later, if these grandchildren have a conscience, they might burn a few incense sticks for them on Qingming, but their parents and even ancestors—these grandchildren—might not even know where the graves are, let alone burn incense.

Family tomb‑sweeping still depends on descendants.

If conditions allow, of course they must first raise boys, since they can continue the lineage; a hundred years later there will still be descendants to sweep graves and burn incense, preventing them from becoming lonely wandering spirits after millennia.

Only when a family is wealthy enough will they consider raising a girl.

Farm households must pray for good weather each year, worry about food, drink, and excretion, and even wasting a single grain of food brings them heartache for a long time.

Naturally, they have no energy left to raise a girl!

Liu Dongzhu can already be considered exceptional; in the entire Hutou Gou there are hardly any literate women.

"Mother, who gave you this letter…"

Liu Dongzhu saw the paper clearly bore writing, subconsciously opened her mouth; before she could finish speaking, her face changed drastically, her expression suddenly became very gloomy, and she said: "Yes, yes, yes…"

But for some reason, the words just wouldn't come out of Liu Dongzhu's mouth.

"My poor child!"

Zhang Guihua saw Liu Dongzhu's state, her heart felt as if being cut by a knife, and she hastily said:

"It probably isn't that beast's letter; I got up early today preparing to go out with your father to do farm work, and I saw this sheet of paper on our table, plus a stack of things—I don't know what's going on!"

Hearing this, Liu Dongzhu barely breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could relax too long, her eyes saw the writing on the paper, her face changed again, and she exclaimed in astonishment: "How could this be?"
