Shi was unhappy with their attitude, they come from nowhere, ask for help, don't help him to fight the enemy, make his food burn and then break his meditation state making his effort futile.
"Do you need to treat Little An like this? Just because she's weak does she look easy to bully?" Chen Bao asked with an angry face crossing her hands below her breasts.
She was feeling powerless, she was the same cultivation level as him, but he could solve their problem alone, she was always pampered since a child, from her parents to her seniors, everyone saying she was a genius but now the reality was knocking on her door.
Shi took a weird look at the angry woman, why was she mad? he should be the mad one, his entire family should be the mad ones, ignoring the women again he started to boil the two giant eggs putting them on a great clay pot filled with water.
Seeing him ignoring her again Bao was feeling even worse, Shi wasn't the first person to treat her like this, her father, he was an elder from the sect and would do the same, every time she tried to show her improvements he would shake his head and go away, the prime disciple Yu Cuifen always do the same, she just gave her the cold shoulder.
A lot of people are like this, and cultivators are even worse, being pampered as a genius from birth, always feeling over the clouds and being praised whatever you go, can easily create a monster inside you, that's why Long Shin always put Shi ego down, not to make him feel like trash, but to not make him wear the emperor clothes being a monkey.
"Stop ignoring me and Little An, let's have a spar, let me see the Gorilla Prince fierceness if it is really like Prime Disciple Cuifen says," she said looking straight at the lean looking but handsome face of Shi.
Shi was stunned by the woman madness, from friends to foes in less than 5 minutes, he wasn't really mad at them because of the fight, even if he burned a little meat, it was when the sick girl broke his mental state the real problem, he was in a state of mindfulness which was the crucial part of the Vipassana.
He never traded notes, after all, he was a lone wolf, so he asked if it was useful and Shin said if the opponent was someone with great skill and not afraid of hurting him it was, but since was a pampered annoying girl, isn't.
He was about to say no, but the girl kept taunting him to fight, calling him a purple-eyed turtle, making him feel annoyed, so he decided to give her a harsh lesson.
"What advantages can you give me if I fight you?" he asked her in a cold tone, looking at her eyes.
She was happy that the bait worked, but his words make her feel contempt, why does she need to give something to him?
Looking at his cold face her resolve became stronger, she took out a spirit fruit from her space ring, it was a bright red thing that looked like a tomato, but it was brimming with energy, almost exploding.
"This is a spirit spicy tomato, we found it not long after entering the neutral zone, this normally is guarded by 2nd-grade beasts, but those guys from before are fighting the beasts, that's why they chase us if you win against me, I give to you" said her in the same cold tone, her good impression was run down the earth by now.
Getting up from his spot on the fireplace he got in the middle of the old battlefield and said with a spiritless voice "if you win, I will give you the two Snake Necked Ostrich eggs".
Seeing his antipathy she snorted softly "hmph".
When she got in front of him, Shi got on his boxing stance and closed his eyes, he started to chant the vipassana technique on his mind trying to get on that empty state again.
Since he was going to fight without weapons, she got on her fist technique stance. This time in Shi head scenes of him fighting the Mountain King is playing on his head, the most shocking experience was the tiger descending the mountain, his presence, the pressure he felt, making his blood and body freeze, almost making him lose his leg because of inexperience, after a breath, no thoughts, no attachments, the clarity, and emptiness were coming to his mind again.
Bao was looking straight at Shi stance, his shoulders are a little erect and his hands protecting his chin and neck, his right foot on the front giving him flexibility, but his eyes are closed, when his eyes opened, she felt a cold chill run down her spine, his eyes are like a beast, Shi killing intent was coming out from his body in a deep blood aura.
This time Shi wasn't just using the intent of killing on someone as a way of showing his fighting will, he was doing the same the tiger made to him, he was showing his status to her, making her understand she didn't want to fight him, and death was the only road awaiting for her.
He got his prize, focusing on that fight and using the vipassana chant to help him isolate that feeling of dread the tiger gave him through meditation, made his killing intent form an pressure, the mind technique was surprising him more and more.
"Step" he gave a step, all muscles that moved are bulged, making them look like they're about to explode.
"Sphhhlt!" Chen Bao felt like she was stabbed by a knife on her heart, Shi image on her mind was getting colder and larger every step he took, her body was already without any fighting intent, all she wanted was to escape, but her mind was in complete turmoil.
Little An couldn't understand anything, since Shi killing intent was not focused on her, all she could see was Bao collapsing.
A cold glint passed through Shi's eyes, it was time to teach her a lesson.
"Do you want to die?" asked the cold voice, making her throat dry.
Bao fell on her butt she was moving backward fast with her hands, she shook her head left and right, tears coming from her eyes, pressure, and intent are very dangerous things. It was the easier way to win against weaker opponents, just let their minds defeat themselves.
"Then what about you serve me? I promise I will be gentle" The cold voice carried a charm, giving her dread and hope at the same time.
She was looking at his cold slim face, his eyes burned like the flames of hell, she was frightened from her bones to her soul, Shi was pretty satisfied with his performance, his mind was empty, completely clear, without evil thoughts, but the presence and pressure he was putting on her made everything so real.
She started to look at Little An, making the little sicky girl scared, becoming even more pale, even if the two of them are pretty inexperienced in fights, it was just common sense what's going to happen, the cruel part of the world was clear for them, after all, they're from an evil sect, but one thing is to have known it and the other was experiencing it.
A decisive look passed through her eyes, and she said "Okay" with a mosquito voice, her eyes are drowning with water, her shoulders down feeling the humiliation shower on her.
At first, when she took a look at Little An, Shi's eyes become really cold, he was an orphan and lived half of his life alone, being betrayed was the worse thing for him, his father gave him the warm and the joy of living again, but after seeing her taking it all on her shoulders his, eyes became warmer.
She took off her veil, showing her heroic face, from her head till her nose she had a normal feminine face, when it got to her mouth and jaw it became a little more square, giving her a military woman look.
She was taking her black-red robe off, She had a cloth band hugging her full breasts, they had a pale white color like they never had any sun, her stomach was flat and had a folding marking because of her pose.
At this time Shi sat on her front, and stopped her movements catching her hands, he took a good look at her almost bare body, and then he asked "Do you want to know why I am so strong and cultivate so hard?"
She was trembling, she was thinking he was mad at her because of her slow movements and was about to violate her, his question sounded in an echo on her mind.
