Fire Nether laughed in exasperation for a moment.
He thought.
Ye Wu was genuinely somewhat special to him.
Now it seems, she says the same thing to everyone!
After soothing Qingxuan, Ye Wu turned around and saw Fire Nether standing at the entrance of the cave.
Fire Nether just quietly watched her like that.
Everything this woman said, he had heard it all, and he wanted to see how Ye Wu would try to worm her way out of it.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Wu's demeanor was completely natural, as if she hadn't been caught doing her player-like actions: "You're still injured, go back and rest."
Ye Wu wasn't flustered at all.
After last night's second session of dual cultivation, Fire Nether's affection for her had increased a little.
Now it was a neat negative twenty!
The crucial thing was, although Fire Nether's expression was strange, he hadn't lowered his affection for her.
If the affection doesn't decrease, then there's no need to worry too much.
"Okay." Fire Nether agreed: "You probably won't go find a third favorite person now, right?"
He slightly raised an eyebrow.
Ye Wu rubbed her chin.
This question... seemed a bit like he was jealous.
But.
Judging by the still negative affection, it was more likely that Fire Nether was just throwing in some sarcastic jab.
"No, no, am I that kind of person?" Ye Wu said with an upright expression.
Fire Nether glanced at her, turned around, and went back to his room.
In the afternoon.
He just came out to practice spear techniques.
In the back mountain of the cave dwelling.
Hu Jiuling looked innocently at Ye Wu: "Master. Fire Nether said that dual cultivation is not only painless but even somewhat enjoyable. I also want to try dual cultivation once Fire Nether Brother's injuries are better."
Hu Jiuling didn't have a strong desire for power enhancement.
He was just simply curious.
Additionally...
He liked being comfortable.
"Alright, alright, I get it. I'll arrange it." Ye Wu quickly promised.
"Really?" Hu Jiuling was a bit delighted: "This won't trouble Master, will it?"
Ye Wu quickly said: "Trouble? How could it be? Among you five, you are the one I like the most."
Hu Jiuling immediately became happy, he was about to say something, but turned and saw Fire Nether with a blank expression.
Hu Jiuling enthusiastically greeted: "Fire Nether Brother!"
Ye Wu slowly turned her head, just to see Fire Nether's inexplicable expression.
Ye Wu felt a bit frustrated for a moment.
Seriously?
Every time she delivered a player-like line, Fire Nether just had to be there to hear it?
Ye Wu immediately said: "It's really the last time!"
After all.
Xiao Heng and Mo Ye were not planning to pay attention to her at all!
Hu Jiuling was a bit puzzled.
Last time?
What last time?
Fire Nether just looked calmly at Ye Wu, then walked over to grab Hu Jiuling by the collar: "Don't play too much. Since you're here at the back mountain, take out your Green Fox Pen and practice."
Hu Jiuling's little face wrinkled instantly: "Can I start tomorrow?"
"Today!" Fire Nether insisted.
Hu Jiuling had no choice but to weakly agree.
Ye Wu found the scene before her quite interesting.
The original script recorded that Fire Nether excels in spears, his spear techniques are quite exquisite, even Ye Liuyun praised them.
As for Hu Jiuling, being part of the Green Fox Clan, his most proficient weapon is the Green Fox Pen.
These few furnaces, she planned to train them well.
She needed to understand them properly, in order to determine their different training paths for the future.
Ye Wu voluntarily stepped aside: "You two carry on, I'll just watch from here."
Fire Nether nodded.
With a flick of his wrist, the Mystic Iron Long Spear thrust forward.
In the sunlight, the spear tip gleamed with a reddish glow, Jiao Long Clan's bloodline power surged, a dragon-shaped shadow intertwined faintly with the spear tip.
In a spin and sweep, the shadow followed the spear thrust! Twenty zhang away, a gigantic rock vanished in an instant.
It was completely pulverized to dust.
Fire Nether looked at Hu Jiuling: "Though we use different weapons, understanding one technique leads to mastering all. Your Green Fox Pen follows a nimble path but lacks the penetrative force of a killer move."
As he spoke, his spear thrust out again, aiming at the distant giant tree, but at the moment it was thrust, the spearhead suddenly turned and plunged into the ground before Hu Jiuling.
"So, combining illusion with reality is necessary to defeat the enemy."
Fire Nether explained.
He indeed had considerable insight on the path of weaponry.
Hu Jiuling was convinced and obediently began practicing.
Ye Wu leaned against the tree, deeply engrossed.
The original script was mostly filled with various steamy scenes between the male and female leads.
It didn't really describe the female side characters much, let alone the background furnaces.
Yet it turned out.
These side characters, mentioned only a few times in the book, shone brightly in the real world.
Ye Wu thought about it and suddenly walked over with a playful smile: "Fire Nether, why don't you teach me whip techniques too?"
Ye Wu said this and suddenly uncoiled the Purple Vine Whip from her waist, and declared: "I plan to practice whip techniques seriously."
The original female side character used a whip.
After Ye Wu transmigrated, she didn't plan on changing that.
She felt quite handy with the whip.
Fire Nether looked at Ye Wu, surprise flashed in his eyes, then calmly said: "Any weapon requires a great deal of arduous training to master deeply. You don't have to waste your time on it."
His spear techniques had reached this level after enduring countless hardships.
Ye Wu?
She simply couldn't withstand this kind of hardship!
Rather than giving up halfway, it's better not to start.
Ye Wu raised an eyebrow and directly said: "This is an order."
Fire Nether was silent for a moment: "Then take out your whip."
Either way, Ye Wu would give up soon enough.
At most, it would just waste a bit of time.
"That's more like it. Tonight's dual cultivation is still your turn." Ye Wu happily declared.
Fire Nether couldn't help but glance at her.
This woman!
How shameless!
He steadied himself and said earnestly: "First, show me your whip techniques."
Practicing whip technique...
Ye Wu rummaged through her memory.
This female side character only ever fawned over others, too lazy to even spend time on cultivation, let alone practicing whip techniques.
However.
Ye Liuyun had once given her a Mystic Rank Whip Technique: Sky Splitting Whip.
Ye Wu's current level...
Was barely enough to move it around.
Ye Wu didn't feel embarrassed, she performed her elementary school-level whip techniques on the spot.
At first, Fire Nether watched with a serious demeanor, but as he watched, he fell silent.
Hu Jiuling, however, was quite encouraging, clapping enthusiastically from the side.
"How was it?" Ye Wu thickened her skin to ask.
"The master's whip dance…" Hu Jiuling started.
Ye Wu looked over expectantly.
"Is truly like it's being danced on air!" Hu Jiuling praised.
Ye Wu couldn't help but shoot him a glare.
What kind of empty nonsense was that!
Fire Nether took a deep breath: "Hu Jiuling, go practice on your own over there."
Hu Jiuling cheerfully agreed: "Master, good luck."
Satisfied, Hu Jiuling sauntered off to slack.
Fire Nether remained silent, unsure how to respond.
If he spoke the truth, would Ye Wu immediately use the contract to end him?
"Just speak freely!" Ye Wu encouraged: "I'm here to improve."
Fire Nether's facial expression slightly moved, after a long pause, he said in a low voice: "Your whip technique is like antlers on a sheep, leaving no trace."
"Are you saying my whip technique is very talented and I'll become a master in the future?" Ye Wu was a little excited.
Fire Nether honestly replied: "I'm saying your whip technique… I can't understand it."
