Chapter 20: Birthday
Two months later.
The moon hung high in the sky, a river of stars cascaded down, with billions of stars twinkling and reflecting off each other, resplendent and vast.
"Today... seems to be my seventeenth birthday?"
Li Quanqing sat on the rocks by the fish pond, and after a busy day, he suddenly remembered it was his own birthday.
But other than himself, probably no one else remembered.
Moonlight poured down like silver, waves on the sea twinkled, the tide rose and fell, reflecting the lonely silhouette of the young boy.
Click-clack! Click-clack!
From within the rocks, an Ironbone Crab peeked out, waving its claws as it approached him, its eyeballs rolling turbulently.
"Crummy crab, are you hungry?"
Li Quanqing reached out to tease it; the crab's pincer clamped onto his finger but couldn't even leave a white mark.
After being strengthened by the Stone Skin Pills, in terms of skin toughness, he was no less than a Body Refinement Practitioner at the Qi Refining Early Stage.
