101. Tasting Jade Feet
When Kiana and Mei returned, they found Yun Ling diligently learning the Taixu Sword Qi.
Cheng Lingshuang is a very good teacher. She will carefully adjust Yun Ling's every movement to address its shortcomings.
Yun Ling was also very serious. After all, Cheng Lingshuang had said that if he wanted to go out again, he should practice hard.
With the help of the bonus " Swordmanship training experience (Complete)" effect, Yun Ling can identify his shortcomings and improve upon them with each practice session.
With both factors combined, his progress has become remarkably rapid.
Although his progress can't be compared to the Sword God Yun Ling in the fourth simulation, who has the "Divine Swordsmanship" talent bonus, his progress is definitely still quite fast.
"Is Yun Ling practicing swordsmanship?"
Mei was somewhat puzzled. After all, she had heard before that Yun Ling had never practiced swordsmanship before, but his previous sword strike had indeed amazed her. Could Yun Ling be lying? There was no need for that.
"Mei, Kiana, you're back."
During the break given to him by Cheng Lingshuang, Yun Ling stepped forward to greet the two.
"Yun Ling, why did you suddenly start practicing swordsmanship?" Kiana asked directly.
"We'll talk about this later. By the way, you guys should practice with me too; it's really good for your health."
"Huh? Us?" Kiana and Mei were both stunned.
Kiana wasn't interested in swords, but Mei noticed that Yunling's swordsmanship wasn't simple and might be a family tradition.
"Please, please, practice with me. Otherwise, my eldest aunt will always be watching me, and it's exhausting for me." Yun Ling clasped his hands together and pleaded with the two of them.
"Well... okay." Neither of them refused.
Cheng Lingshuang didn't say anything, but casually picked up two wooden swords and handed them to them, letting them practice with her.
Although she didn't say anything, she didn't give them any instructions either; she just had them learn the movements.
Kiana initially found it novel, but soon she became a little sleepy.
Mei trained very hard because she could sense that this "Taixu Sword Qi" was probably much stronger than her "Hokushin Itto-ryu" and that she could absorb and learn from it to improve her swordsmanship.
After practicing for several hours, it was already dark when Cheng Lingshuang finally let the three go.
That night, at a dinner party, Mei and Kiana also met Li Sushang.
Unlike Cheng Lingshuang's coldness, Li Sushang greeted them warmly and asked Yun Ling if anything interesting had happened in the Far East.
The two were so different that they were almost overwhelmed by Li Sushang's enthusiasm.
After the meal, Yun Ling was dragged off to continue practicing swordsmanship by Cheng Lingshuang again...
"One day to practice swordsmanship, one day to rest. If I am not satisfied with the training results, you will continue to practice the next day."
Cheng Lingshuang essentially gave Yun Ling a firm order.
Li Sushang stood by with a helpless expression.
But it's clear that she also agrees with Cheng Lingshuang's opinion.
After all, the world is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface; a disaster called "Honkai" is constantly eroding this world.
If you don't become stronger, you can only passively run away when facing the Honkai.
And see if their luck would allow them to survive.
Letting Yun Ling go away for a few months was already the biggest concession Cheng Lingshuang could make. If Yun Ling didn't return, Cheng Lingshuang would really have to personally fly to the Far East to bring him back.
The outside world was too dangerous; all Cheng Lingshuang could offer to Yun Ling was her meticulous protection.
"Yes, I understand!" Yun Ling nodded without hesitation.
"Oh dear, Xiao Ling has changed so much after his trip to the Far East. If it were before, he'd definitely have a reluctant expression on his face," Li Sushang couldn't help but tease.
"Well, I've grown up now," Yun Ling scratched his head.
"Yeah, Xiao Ling has grown so much! Back then, you were chasing after us, saying you wanted to marry us both, and even marry both of us at once!"
"When we didn't agree, you'd sit on the ground and cry, which really worried us," Li Sushang pinched Yun Ling's cheek, digging up his embarrassing past.
"Hahaha..." Mei and Kiana couldn't help but laugh at this.
"That can't be happening for real, can it?" Yun Ling's face immediately turned red.
"Alright, it's time to practice your sword. Try to master the entire Taixu Sword Qi in these two months," Cheng Lingshuang urged.
"Two months? Eldest Aunt, you think too highly of me." Yun Ling's lips twitched slightly.
Li Sushang spent seventeen years learning before comprehending the divine essence, and even Cheng Lingshuang took thirteen years.
He only has two months?
That's a bit too much to ask. Does he really think he's as powerful as Kiana...?
"If you can't learn it, then don't leave. Stay in Shenzhou. Don't worry, you definitely can't escape this time."
Cheng Lingshuang's gaze carried a hint of threat, her Hanfu fluttering without wind.
Although no aura could be sensed, just standing there gave off a terrifyingly strong feeling.
"I...I'll try my best." Yun Ling swallowed hard.
Under Cheng Lingshuang's pressure, Yun Ling quickly learned the simplest Qi Sword Form, and only then did Cheng Lingshuang let him go.
After taking a shower, Yun Ling went to the guest room, where Mei and Kiana were staying.
Since the room was heated, the two were only wearing light tank tops, their thighs and arms exposed, dazzlingly white.
"Yun Ling, are you alright?" Mei was still worried about Yun Ling's sudden fainting last time.
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine! It just looks like I won't be able to spend every day with you guys anymore," Yun Ling said apologetically.
"Who wants you to spend every day with you..." Kiana pouted, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's alright. Besides... I've made quite a bit of progress while practicing swordsmanship." Mei could clearly sense the shortcomings in her previous swordsmanship.
"By the way, I wanted to talk to you about this swordsmanship. You must practice it diligently; it's very beneficial to your health," Yun Ling said earnestly.
Kiana currently needs to control the energy within her the most; there's still the Queen hidden inside her.
The Queen is the purest form of evil within Sirin's consciousness, and even Kiana, as the protagonist, hasn't been able to reform her...
Yun Ling didn't believe he had that ability to do so, so he had to prepare in advance, ensuring Kiana possessed the power to fight the Queen beforehand.
"Kiana, especially you, you must train diligently. This is my lifelong request," Yun Ling turned to Kiana and instructed her.
"Wh...what the hell! Don't just say things like that so easily!" Kiana punched Yun Ling.
What lifelong request? This joke is a bit too much.
"Emmm, I just thought saying it this way would be more formal. After all, in your impression, I'm probably the kind of person who loves to joke around," Yun Ling coughed lightly, making up an excuse.
"Isn't this all your fault? You're so unserious," Mei sighed softly.
"So, does Mei like it?" Yun Ling asked tentatively.
"Come on, lick my feet, and I'll give you a chance to pursue me."
Mei smiled, sitting on the bed looking down at Yun Ling, as if she had transformed back into the aloof and powerful Thunder Queen.
Yun Ling looked as if he had received a priceless gift.
His hand trembled as he reached for Mei's delicate feet.
Mei panicked. Was Yun Ling really going to do this? She was just joking!
"Die, you perverted Yun Ling!"
Yun Ling successfully tasted the sensation of girl feet with his face—and it was Kiana's unreleased character!
