Chapter 16 This winter is a bit cold

  In the bathroom.

  Tang Xiaosheng was only wearing a pair of red Panda brand underwear, his arms wrapped around his shoulders, standing in the bathroom and shivering.

  In the cold weather of only one degree Celsius, not wearing clothes was already suffering enough. Thinking about taking a cold shower made him feel a bit apprehensive. Standing in the bathroom for several minutes, he still hesitated and didn't open the shower faucet.

  "Whatever, just die then!"

  It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. After hesitating for half a day, Tang Xiaosheng took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and finally summoned up the courage to take the plunge and start taking a cold shower. He turned on the faucet, and icy water suddenly gushed out, pouring down on him in an instant.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Suddenly, a scream like killing a pig came from the bathroom.

  Upon hearing his cries, the little dragon girl sitting in the room couldn't help but giggle. Meanwhile, Guo Xiang was still quite supportive and shouted words of encouragement from outside the bathroom door: "Big brother, go for it! You're the best! Hehe!"

  However, this wailing cry did not last for too long and stopped in less than two minutes.

  Every beginning is hard.

  Tang Xiaosheng found that the most frightening part of taking a cold shower is only the first few dozen seconds, and after slowly adapting to it, the body will gradually warm up. At this time, even if cold water is poured on the body, it won't feel particularly icy and piercing.

  The human body's adaptability is also limited, and after a few minutes, his body began to stiffen up, becoming numb, as if it had been frozen.

  What he couldn't bear the most was his lower body, originally a man's sensitive part is least tolerant of cold, being splashed by icy tap water like this, it's truly "egg pain". If this continues, it's likely to freeze ** bad, Tang Xiaosheng decided to stop here.

  A moment later, he emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a white towel, his body shaking uncontrollably as he tiptoed into the room.

  Little Dragon Girl saw him come out and gestured for him to sit on the sofa. She asked softly: "Xiao'er, how are you feeling now?"

  Tang Xiaosheng hugged his shoulders with both hands, curled up on the sofa seat, and his body kept shaking, trembling to answer: "...... cold......"

  "Is it just cold?"

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded.

  "Being just cold is not enough, it must be extremely cold to have an effect." She then turned her head to Guo Xiang and said, "Xiang'er, go open the window."

  "Hmm." Guo Xiang giggled and got up to run away, opening the originally closed window.

  Suddenly, wave after wave of icy and cold wind poured in, spreading throughout the room. Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but shiver, his body trembling with cold, his hands wrapping the only towel he had on him even tighter.

  At this time, however, the little dragon girl said: "Guo'er, you'd better take off your bath towel too, it will feel even colder." After a pause, she added, "The colder the weather, the faster your inner strength will progress."

  The ideal is very rich, but the reality is very tragic. To practice his inner strength well, Tang Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go all out. He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and removed the towel from his body, leaving only a small underpants on him.

  As soon as the gloomy cold wind outside floated into the room, he was covered in goosebumps.

  "Later on, before you go to sleep tonight, you must repeatedly practice the 'Reversal of Meridians Technique' until you fall asleep," said Little Dragon Maiden.

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded and asked weakly, "Long'er, I won't have to sleep upside down, will I?"

  Little Dragon Girl gently shook her head: "This is not necessary. Inversion is only to let you understand the principle of 'Reversing Meridian Method', after understanding the principle, you can practice in any posture. Even if you fall asleep, the meridians in your body can still continue to reverse rotation."

  Tang Xiaosheng let out a slight sigh of relief.

  "However," said the Little Dragon Girl, "the temperature tonight is only one degree, which is obviously not cold enough. There happens to be a floor fan in your room, so it's best to turn it on while you sleep tonight, that way the practice will be more effective."

  Tang Xiaosheng was stunned, paused for a moment, and asked: "Really won't catch a cold like this?"

  "Don't worry! The 'Reversal Meridian Method' you're currently practicing has incorporated the 'Soul Transference Technique' from the 'Nine Yin True Classics', which allows you to control and circulate your internal energy even while asleep, resisting cold temperatures."

  Although Tang Xiaosheng still didn't quite understand, since Little Dragon Girl said it was no problem, it should be no problem. He decided to boldly give it a try anyway.

  Like this, in the cold weather of only one degree Celsius, Tang Xiaosheng was lying naked on the sofa in the room, with only a pair of underwear on his body, the window open and the fan blowing strongly beside him.

  Despite this, he didn't feel too cold, but instead kept circulating the "Reversal Meridian Method" inside his body, practicing it over and over again until he fell asleep...

  "Achoo!"

  The next morning, Tang Xiaosheng started a brand new day with a loud sneeze.

  "I'm not catching a cold, am I?"

  After waking up, he quickly touched his forehead and found no fever symptoms, only then did he feel slightly relieved.

  In fact, he not only didn't get sick, but was even more spirited than before. After waking up from a nap, he felt extremely refreshed and invigorated, as if he had been reborn. Upon careful consideration, it was probably due to the effects of practicing the "Reversal Meridian Method" last night.

  At a glance, Guo Xiang was still sleeping quietly on the bed, while Xiaolongnv had already gotten up and was standing quietly on the balcony, looking at something.

  "Long'er, good morning." Tang Xiaosheng said after putting on his clothes and walking onto the balcony.

  "You're awake." Little Dragon Girl came back to her senses and said, "Today's weather is nice."

  Tang Xiaosheng looked up and saw that the gray sky was overcast, not a single ray of sunshine in sight. It was clearly an overcast day, yet he asked inexplicably: "Is this also considered good weather?"

  "According to the weather forecast, another strong cold air mass is moving south today, and the temperature will drop by 4 to 8 degrees. This kind of weather is very beneficial for your internal skill cultivation."

  Tang Xiaosheng suddenly realized, so that's what she meant. Thinking of the cold shower last night, he couldn't help but shiver again.

  "Xiao Long Nu said: 'Xiaolong, I just checked and found that there is already a hint of internal energy generated in your body.'"

  "Really?" Tang Xiaosheng was overjoyed and didn't expect success to come so quickly.

  The little dragon girl nodded and said: "Now you can try to operate the 'Reversal Meridian Method', and you will find that there is a warm current flowing in your body."

  After hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't wait any longer. He immediately calmed down, sank his energy into his dantian, and tried to circulate the inner power within his body.

  After a moment, Little Dragon Girl asked: "Do you feel a warm current surging inside your body?"

  Tang Xiaosheng furrowed his brow and shook his head: "I seem to have only felt a surge in my intestines."

  "Go have your breakfast first!" Little Dragon Maiden said with a smile.

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded in agreement: "Long'er, let's eat together."

  The little dragon girl said faintly: "I won't eat anymore, I don't have much of an appetite."

  Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "Not eating breakfast is bad for the stomach."

  Little Dragon Girl's eyebrows moved slightly: "But I really don't have any appetite."

  Since she insisted, Tang Xiaosheng didn't force the issue. Afterwards, he cooked a bowl of instant noodles to solve his breakfast problem, but was stopped by Little Dragon Girl: "In the future, eat less instant noodles, they're not nutritious. You've been practicing hard for two days and your leg injury hasn't healed yet, you should nourish your body."

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled and replied: "Okay, after finishing the instant noodles, I'll go out to buy a rooster back to stew."
