The girl's smile was so beautiful it could calm the most ferocious anger.
Her smile brought tranquility to Xuanyuan's anxious and helpless heart. He could not exactly pinpoint the feeling, but he felt at ho as long as he was with this girl. She gave him the feeling of belonging.
However, he was shocked by how easily she would be able to kill him. He didn't even see how she sent him flying.
"Who was murdering their husband?" She grinned and walked towards Xuanyuan in her bare feet. She was still stunning to look at, even with her threatening posture. As she approached him, Guxing shielded Xuanyuan, giving a whimper as a warning, but the girl ignored it. Xuanyuan looked at her in the eyes, she was at least a head taller than him. He rembered how she sent him flying and he knew he didn't stand a chance against her. He could only appeal to her with his words.
"This is my ho that you slept in. How could you attack ?"
She ceased her footsteps and glanced around the house. She gave off an alluring aura with each of her movents, her glance then landed on Xuanyuan. His clothes were covered in bloodstains, he was dirty and ragged. She noticed that so of his wounds had already started to heal. After a few monts of pondering, she smiled and said,
"You have a good body, but your strength cannot even compare with the weakest fighter. How are you going to prove that this is your ho? You don't posses the power to carve such a large house inside this tree?"
"If you lift the fur beneath the bed you slept on, you'll find a hidden compartnt. Inside there are 936 fighter coins exactly." Xuanyuan pointed at the middle of the bed confidently.
The woman was slightly shocked. She found the coins inside the compartnt under the fur and counted them one by one. It was 936 fighter coins exactly.
Her expression was shaken. Seeing this, he took the advantage and stepped up."Guxing, dig out the bones you hid inside the house. Let her see with her own eyes whose house this is."
Guxing gave out a small whimper and grabbed a large thigh bone from a magic bull that was hidden in corner of the tree house.
"You dare to say this is not my ho? If you still don't believe it, I'll show you." He moved to another corner and opened another hidden compartnt. There was so dried at and clean water inside.
"Do you believe now?"
"Then I'm truly sorry. I was exhausted when I ca across such a well hidden ho, so I ca in to get so rest. Now that the master of the house is back, it's ti for to be on my way." She smiled. She gestured elegantly then walked towards the door leaving a floral fragrance behind.
"Wait a minute, you barge into my ho and hit for no reason at all. Now you want to just leave? This doesn't sound right." He knew if he let such a beautiful girl leave, he did not deserve the good karma his ancestors must have accumulated for him. However, there was a more important reason, Xuanyuan wanted to get more information about this world from her. He wanted to know more about cultivating and practising martial skills!
The woman was stunned and her cherry red lips quivered. "How do you plan to stop ? You can't even touch a hair on my head. If I want to go, there's nothing you can do about it."
Xuanyuan didn't react imdiately, but he suddenly had a strange idea form in his mind. He softened his voice and said, "You're being too unreasonable. How about this: you teach the martial path for a month as compensation for hitting and then you will be free of any bad karma."
The woman looked at Xuanyuan. He looked about fourteen years old and yet he kept his ho orderly, which she appreciated. From the state of his body, she could tell that he had recently been in a fight. Even though Xuanyuan had a good body, anyone who even slightly practised a martial skill could easily deal with him.
Looking at his determined face, she couldn't resist and agreed to teach him.
"All right, I will teach you for a month and I will leave after that. Make use of this opportunity while you still can."
Xuanyuan was so excited that he jumped up and down while nodding his head vigorously.
"Of course! I never let an opportunity slip away, but before that, how should I address you? I'm nad Xuanyuan!"
"Xuanyuan? Xuanyuan... What an interesting na. I am Yin Zhenluo." Yin Zhenluo stepped on the floor lightly and put on a pair of white boots that were tucked under the bed. She moved in front of Xuanyuan and said, "Do you truly want to learn martial skills? The quiet life you have now may not be a bad one, being a simple hunter has its own rewards. Why would you throw yourself into the chaotic ss that is the martial world?"
"I don't have any grudges against the world, but the world seems determined to hurt . After all, the powerful are always at the top of food chain. Look at all my scars, I got them because the young master of the Moonwaste City ordered it. He wanted to kill , he had thrown into the mass grave alive so the wild beasts could finish . I... I was lucky and I survived, but Guyue, the wolf that grew up with , wasn't so lucky. Yuejue was the reason that I couldn't save Guyue. Guxing is the only family that I have left now. How can I look at myself if I don't avenge Guyue?”
"A real man should always repay other peoples kindness, yet also be ruthless when taking revenge. A real mans life should be fulfilling and passionate. What's the point of being a coward and living safely? I'd rather be the teor that fills the sky with splendour, even if only for a mont!"
Yin Zhenluo wanted to say sothing, but she just sighed instead.
"Never mind. I will oblige if you say so. Take off your clothes."
Xuanyuan didn't know how to react. He took a few steps backwards, his hands cradled his body and his eyes stared at the exquisite Yin Zhenluo. He almost burst into tears of joy because he was about to live in the sa room as this beautiful girl for a month. The old beggar used to say, you needed to accumulate good karma for a hundred lifetis to marry a girl like this.
"Wha...what do you wanna do to ? I'm a guy, but I’ve never done that thing before, you..."
She was both angry and amused by his response. With just a step, she was already in front of Xuanyuan. She flicked her finger onto his forehead, she moved slowly this ti so Xuanyuan could see her movents. The pain was intense, but much lighter than the last one. He was only forced a few steps back this ti.
Xuanyuan trembled and thought, "How can a woman be so strong? She only used her finger. Is she really human? This is insane!"
"There's nothing to be surprised about. People who practice martial skills have an unimaginable strength compared to soone like you. Take off your clothes and change into sothing clean, you're still filthy. I have a bottle of dicine which will help your wounds heal faster. Tomorrow, I'll guide you on the martial path and introduce you to our world." Yin Zhenluo took out a jade bottle and threw it to Xuanyuan.
"Thank you so much, my beautiful master!" Xuanyuan caught the bottle and took out a set of clean clothes from the end of the bed. He ran outside while cheering.
"Guxing, let's take a bath!"
Yin Zhenluo was looking at his silhouette disappearing, then she smiled and mumbled to herself, "Xuanyuan, right?...I shall see how much you can grow in a month."
