Teach me Already!

Azure Continent, Fang Empire, Xiao City, City Lords Manor

A handsome middle-aged man, sitting in his chair, inside his office, resting his chin in his arms, thinking.

'Did that old bastard, just gave Yi Shie to me, so that I can babysit him?...' contemplating he continued 'Then after the age of 15, he'll anoint him as his apprentice?!'

City Lord Xiao Bai, as if realizing something slammed his hand on his desks, cause the files within it to scatter away.

"Damn it! I got conned by that old bastard again! Shit!" annoyed by his discovery, City Lord Xiao Bai stood up and went to get tea, at the side of the room.

*Knock-Knock

"Husband? are you there?" a gentle voice rang out.

"Yes, come in" The door opened to reveal a beautiful middle-aged woman, scarlet hair, white smooth skin, with her piercing scarlet hair arranged neatly like a waterfall.

Both of them took a seat, on the sofa in the side of the room near the fireplace,

"What is it, honey?" The City Lord asked, gently, afraid of angering this beas- beautiful wife of his.

"I've spoken with the kids, surprisingly both of them agreed to learn noble etiquette" the wife replied

'Spoken? Hmph, more liked Forced Upon' the City Lord Xiao Bai thought, as if reading the mind of his husband, the wife, Xiao Mei asked "Is something wrong my dear?" tilting her head with her face showing a calm and gentle smile.

"No-Nothing, Nothing my love!" Hastily City Lord Xiao Bai replied.

City Lord Xiao Bai took a sip of his tea when

"Where's my tea, my dear?" Still wearing that same calm and gentle smile.

Hearing that, the city lord, hurriedly went and served the tea for his 'gentle and peaceful wife'.

Now finally safe, City Lord went straight to the matters.

"We should hire a scholar from the Capital City Zheng(7), I heard the Scholars there are good and commendable" the husband suggested

"Sure~ just make sure, that the Scholar is really what they say it is, okay?" sipping her tea she replied, again with the same smiling face.

Perspiring the city lord nodded heavily thinking 'Why do I have to live like this, Oh how I miss the old Xiao Mei, who's kind, caring, and calm' sitting there in a daze, the city lord daydreamed.

"Ehem, excuse me, I'll take my leave..." standing up Xiao Mei went to the door, with a flushed face she whispered "If you need me, I'll be in our bedroom...waiting~"

City Lord Xiao, with his cultivation realm, and physical body heard his wife's whisper loud and clear.

Looking at his wife's back figure disappearing, he stood up, and celebrated!

"Yes!! Wohooo!!" Jumping up and down, as if winning a lottery, he followed her.

In the bedroom on the 2nd floor of the Manor, a 10-year-old kid, sitting in a lotus position, can be seen.

His face, in a disfigured shape, some protruded roundly, with the colors of black and blue, was meditating.

Inhaling and exhaling deeply, he continued that rhythmic breathing for 10 minutes, if one could notice, the disfigured face after every breath was slowly turning into normal, and on his forehead, a purple dot of light can be seen.

The essence qi gathered from the atmosphere, nourished and repair his body and soul, non-stop, above his skin, small tiny motes of bright white light with the tinge of gold can be seen, as if being filtered, the pure essence qi enters his pores, while the black and dirty qi, were flowing out the windows seemingly building a path of black, and was dispersed 20 meters above the roof of the manor.

After maintaining this state for nearly 1 hour, a knock could be heard on his door

*Knock *Knock

"Shie? are you there?" a childish and cute voice rang out.

Yi Shie kept cultivating turned a deaf ear towards the voice.

"Shie? Come on! I said I'm sorry right? Forgive me already" the owner of the voice said, annoyed at being ignored.

When Ye Shie was about to reply, he heard a banging sound, and Scarlet Haired girl rushed in, seemingly fuming with anger.

"You! How could you let a lady wait in front of your door! Where's your gentlemanliness!" entering the first thing the girl did, was scold him.

Ye Shie, shocked at the girl's act could only said "C-come in..."

The girl, Xiao Rou, noticed Ye Shie's face was healthy, calmed down.

"Oh, your okay now, never mind~" turning around she left.

Ye Shie, again was startled, "You..." pointing the leaving girl, he swallowed his complaint, and kept silent.

Xiao Rou, who is at the door, stopped as if remembering something.

"Hey! Shie! Teach me now! the method for that magic trick!" she demanded him.

Turning around, she sat beside him and glared.

Ye Shie, who was about to continue his meditation, choked from the sudden situation.

"What!" Exclaiming, annoyed, Ye Shie Hollered.

"Stop! Shouting! Geez!" Xiao Rou complained, annoyed by the shout.

"You do not need to shout you know! Just teach it to me! Come on now! Don't be shy!" holding his shoulder she pestered.

"Alright! Alright! stop pestering me already!" Ye Shie agreed, sighing, he gave up on protesting...'*Sigh, I miss hunting already' he thought.

"What!? Really!? Yeeey!!!" Xiao Rou celebrated jumping up and down in bed.

"Yes! calm down, calm down!" Xiao Rou hearing that, sat down obediently.

"First, enter the meditative state..." he continued "Don't tell me you don't know how to meditate?" Ye Shie mocked.

"Tsh! Of course, I know! I'm a genius alright!" Xiao Rou boasted

"Yeah, yeah, your a genius" Ye Shie agreed nonchalantly.

Xiao Rou Seeing him act like that, wanted to fume, but then she thought 'just you wait, stupid Ye Shie!'

"Okay, first what I did was to absorb the qi from the atmosphere, then..." with that, Ye shie started teaching Xiao Rou the method, "Then the qi enters" Ye Shie leaned closer to Xiao Rou "here, here and here" patted her cheeks, held her nose, and wiped her forehead.

Xiao Rou was startled, shocked at being touched at abruptly, since birth the only people who she allowed to touch her was her parents, being touched by Ye Shie all of a sudden, she blushed.

Yi Shie, seeing her looking at him in a daze, and reddening he said, "Hey! hey! are you listening!" softly slapping her cheeks as if to wake her up.

Xiao Rou woke up from her daze, she swallowed her embarrassment and said "Yes! Yes!" she flicked his arms away and shouted angrily "Stop touching already!".

Ye Shie, seeing the 'normal' Xiao Rou, sighed in relief "Then with that, you control the qi, and blend it in your face, then try altering them!" he instructed

"That's it?!" Xiao Rou, asked, bewildered by the simpleness of the technique. "Yes, that's it" Ye shie confirmed.

Xiao Rou, proving that she is really a genius, only took a minute until her face slowly transformed ordinary.

"Hoh~ Good Job my little Rou Rou" patting her head as if a cat Ye Shie smiled.

Xiao Rou, thinking of her annoying suitors finally disappearing was in a daze, and feeling the gentle and comfortable feeling above her head, she smiled happily, as if a dog with its tail swaying.

In all actuality, altering one's facial features is incredibly hard, a technique that could alter one's facial features could be ranked 7 or 8, which means they can only be made by stages above the Emperor Realm.

Even the City Lord doesn't have that kind of ability yet, surprisingly, her daughter learned that rare technique for free.

But that's a story for another time.
