Little An was looking at the scene in front of her, Shi was seating in front of Bao, who was almost naked with only some bandages and her pants, her face was static as the water got down her eyelids.
She didn't understand a single thing, five minutes ago they're fighting people from another sect, and now they are fighting themselves, in the end, it wasn't even a fight, Bao just collapsed on the floor crying and Shi told her to serve him, in the end, she saw Bao look at her, she was thinking Bao was going to sell her making her feel cold all over her body, but Bao decided to take it herself.
Then Shi didn't do anything and start to talk, it was too much for the sicky girl, Shi was seating in front of Bao looking at her crying face, his voice this time was devoid of any sensation"Because I don't want to be humiliated again because I don't want to hang my head down every time if I wasn't strong enough I would be dead in the hands of those guys you lead here"
Shi put his left-hand index finger on the woman's left breast, but not in a sexual way, he was using it as the tip of a spear moving all the divine fat to the left making Shi feel the woman's chest muscle.
"You carry this sect symbol on the left of your chest like it was in your heart, you guys learn a lot of high-level techniques, and probably since it's an evil sect you guys have seen even more evil than me, but in the end, you are just a coward who wants to be stronger." his empty voice sounded.
This time Bao looked at him, she wasn't feeling his finger, her body was still in shock as well as her mind, but Shi's empty voice was like a bell ringing on her mind.
His voice sounded again "You need to found your own will to cultivate, if you don't, no matter how much qi you can hold in your body, it is futile"
Taking his index finger off the woman's breasts he got up and left, Bao was feeling lonely in the cold forest, the stars and moon shone on her watery face, she was thinking about his words, and how it made so much sense that it was almost beating on her face again and again.
Her father was an expert on blood techniques, how many people did he kill? Blossom Lotus Evil Sect comes from the matriarch nickname, a blood lotus would bloom every time she fights, how much people died under her blade? what kind of evil she didn't see those outer and inner disciples do?
Little An was a great example of this, she was just a tool being used for others cultivation, this time she felt even more powerless, but also hypocrite.
Chen Bao was revolving things in her mind, it looked like the time stopped, she took a look at the otherworldly jade forest, the moon shining through the leaves, it could've been her fall, not only one time but two and the last one being for her own stupidness.
She got up again, picked her veil and robe up, cleaned her moist face with her robe then put it on a lazy way, for some reason she wanted to feel the cold breeze on her skin, maybe it was to see if it wasn't really a nightmare.
Taking a deep inhale she closed her eyes when she opened them again, she blew a black air of her lungs, she took a look at Shi who was walking to the fireplace, his wide shoulder and lone back gave her a safe feeling, she was an idiot, but as he said, she didn't want to be humiliated anymore and a resolute light burned in her eyes.
Long Shin was watching everything, Shi couldn't see, but Shin could, little specks of golden energy entering his body, that was good karma, but not only that, there was another energy coming from the surroundings.
"Thump-bump." Shi's heart beated vigorously for one second making him stop his tracks.
He was starving, his scapula was hurting, and had a deep hole in his back, he heard a lazy voice coming from his mind "Congratulations kid, you did it, she is the first woman to crawl for you".
"What you tal-" before he finished his sentence, he heard a deep woman voice behind him.
"Thank You, Young Master Shi, this little woman of yours is called Chen Bao, you can call me Bao'er or Little Bao" finishing her sentence she made a deep bow in reverence.
Shi froze he was about to say something to her but his father stopped him "don't look at her if you don't want to get into problems, attraction and love are really annoying things and even if you could touch her breasts with your finger that time was just because of the mindfulness state".
So he just put his hand in the air waving it and walking to the fireplace he said "It's okay Scared Gorilla, you don't need to serve me, I was just dumping my rage at your willfulness and tantrum."
Little An mouth was hanging in an 'o', after some time she decided to just let things go, she took a seat near the fireplace, all this fighting gave her a deep impression of the man Shi was, she knew he wasn't a bad person.
Bao just followed behind Shi quietly like a good wife, she even didn't get mad at her nickname, just accepting it, making Shi almost crazy at the woman wilfulness, seating by the fireplace he kept cooking, after some minutes the food was served.
Shi gave them a bowl with the spirit rune and taught them how to use it, making them alarmed at it. In their eyes he was rich, even his food bowls are treasure objects.
His mind wasn't in the food, he gave the two women meat and a piece of one egg, eating all the rest making them incredulous at his appetite, he kept eating with his mind on the last fight, that awl, and that weird feeling, like Zhang Yong was disappearing.
After eating he took a deep look at the two women, near the fireplace everyone could see each other better, this time Bao took off her jewel from the hair, letting it flow, giving her a mature look, her deep black eyes would look back at him without any shy.
Twitching his mouth a little he looked at the sickly woman and then asked "Sickly Gorilla why are you out here in this condition? you look like was about to pass out"
Before the thin woman answered Bao told the truth "Young Master Shi, Little An wasn't like that, she is a spiritual tea maker, so people at the sect keep using her skills until she became like that"
Shi made an "ooh", at this time the thin woman got up and took a square tray from her ring, on the tray she had three teapots one of each size, small, medium and large, on the large one she put boiling water, in her tray also had a wooden statue she called it teapet, she transfered water from the large to the small, and from the small to the medium, from the medium at a teacup and the rest would go to on the tray, she was cleaning it.
She took a square box, inside of it was a tea block, she broke a little of it, the smell of herbs could've been permeating the cold night, all her movements looked so graceful and flowed like a river, making Shi enchanted as he looked at her.
Bao was feeling a little dejected, not because of jealousy, but because she knew her sister was about to waste a little more of her qi, it wasn't that much, but she keeps doing it over and over, until it was dry and keep doing again when she tried to confront her, she said everyone has their own pride.
Shi was looking with his celestial eyes every single movement she made. She would infuse a little of her qi on her tools every time, but it wasn't normal infusing it would dry a little of her vitality too, making Shi understand why she was so thin.
She gave a teacup for Shi, before he sipped it he heard his father telling him to sip loudly, it was to show his appreciation at her craft and for her vitality, and Shi did it.
"SIP" a loud sip was heard, making the thin girl wear a frail smile on her gaunt face.
"What are your plans now?" Asked him taking slow sips at the spirit tea and evolving his breathing technique to make sure all the woman's efforts are not wasted.
Bao got up and putting a hand over her fist she bowed asking "Young Master Shi, please let us pass this night with you, maybe they are just waiting for us on a trap again"
"Sigh, okay, you guys can camp near the fireplace I will keep a guard in the night" Shi shot himself on the near tree, he seated on the floor in a lotus pose with his back facing the trunk, the women used their spare clothes to make a bed on the floor.
Bao lay down facing Shi, making his body a little uncomfortable with her honest look.
