Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The next day, early morning.

As dawn broke, Mu Jiannan was already practicing his sword in the bamboo forest.

He wielded his bamboo sword through the bamboo forest, the wind whistling through the air.

In fact, she didn't sleep well at all last night.

Even now, the hand holding the sword still faintly evokes the feeling of Ye Ge's playful fingers tickling her palm yesterday...

Kenshin is truly in disarray...

Mu Jiannan stopped and gazed into the distance.

The sword move just now was full of flaws; when he made the move, his mind was full of distractions.

Her sword had never been so unruly.

Those who disturb my peace of mind should, in principle, not be allowed to live. However, escape is not the solution, and besides, she still had to fulfill her teacher's instructions and help her junior brother light up the Azure Dragon Star.

Could it be true, as my junior brother said, that my sword heart is really so vulnerable?

“Ha… huh…”

Ye Ge then came out of the bamboo hut and yawned twice.

"Senior sister, you're here really early."

"Um......"

Mu Jiannan gave a perfunctory reply.

Ye Ge walked to her side, saw her senior sister's expression, smiled faintly, as if she had already seen through her heart.

"Let's go back inside." Mu Jiannan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "Let's continue what we didn't finish yesterday."

What happened yesterday?

"That's right, continue yesterday's practice."

"Oh, senior sister meant holding hands, right?"

"......Um."

"I didn't expect my senior sister to be even more impatient than me."

"..."

“But I feel there’s no need to continue this training today.” Ye Ge shrugged. “Let’s do it another day.”

Mu Jiannan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Ye Ge with a hint of surprise.

"Senior sister seems to have made a mistake." Ye Ge smiled. "Although it was the teacher who asked you to do this, she didn't say that you had to help me light up the Ji star within three months, did she?"

Mu Jiannan paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm..."

"So, Senior Sister, you don't need to bear such a lot of pressure. Even if I can't obtain the power of the Jishui Star within you, I can think of other ways."

"any solution?"

“Although the inheritors of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions are few, not every mansion only has one,” Ye Ge shrugged. “I’ll just go and date a girl who has the inheritance of the Ji constellation.”

Mu Jiannan: "..."

Mu Jiannan glanced at him and said, "But only experts above the Heavenly Enlightenment Realm can activate the power of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon. There are already few experts at the Heavenly Enlightenment Realm among the human race, let alone women."

"I just want to tell Senior Sister." Ye Ge looked into Mu Jiannan's eyes: "The cultivation of the sword heart should not be forced or avoided, but rather understood and accepted."

"To see clearly and to accept?"

"First, you must understand your own heart. It is impossible for a practitioner to remain calm forever. Only by accepting your own chaotic mind and accepting your own heart can you achieve true calmness."

"..."

Mu Jiannan fell silent.

"So, please put aside your inner turmoil and practice swordsmanship with me today."

As Ye Ge spoke, he drew his Light Separation Sword.

Mu Jiannan was slightly stunned for a moment.

She then smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let's practice swordsmanship today."

Ye Ge smiled and said, "Senior sister looks so beautiful when she smiles. This must be the first time I've seen her smile in a week, right?"

"..."

Mu Jiannan subconsciously withdrew his smile and put on a cold expression again: "Stop talking nonsense. Since you want to practice swordsmanship, I won't hold back!"

......

So the two practiced swordsmanship in the bamboo forest from before dawn until sunset.

After finishing the practice, Ye Ge felt completely drained. Panting heavily, she lay on the ground in a "spread-eagle" position and fell asleep immediately with her eyes closed.

His other five clones, all dressed in black robes, were also badly injured, their forms turning into a cloud of black mist that dissipated into the air.

Mu Jiannan looked down at the bamboo sword in his hand.

Her swordsmanship seems to have stabilized again.

So, it seems that whether her swordsmanship is stable or not has nothing to do with that kind of thing...

"Click..."

A crack suddenly appeared on the blade of the bamboo sword.

Mu Jiannan was taken aback.

The sword, enveloped in holy energy, was actually cracked...

She looked again at Ye Ge lying on the ground.

In just one week, her junior brother's progress was truly terrifying!

Although she only used a bamboo sword in this sparring session, Ye Ge forced her to use all five fingers to grip the sword and to use her full strength!

She could clearly sense that Ye Ge and his five black-robed men were improving their swordsmanship at an extremely rapid pace.

He not only learned all the sword moves he was taught.

Based on these sword techniques, he also created many other styles.

How on earth did he do it?

Mu Jiannan knew all too well how difficult these sword techniques were; it took her a whole year to learn them!

Ye Ge had only practiced for a week, but she already felt a sense of pressure...

Even with his exceptional talent as a swordsman, it's impossible for him to progress so quickly.

In fact, what Mu Jiannan didn't know was that the reason Ye Ge learned so quickly was because of the golden special talent he drew from the newbie gift pack when he first came to this world—the Soul of the Artifact!

Each battle against a weapon master gives Yege a new understanding and allows him to automatically learn new moves.

The stronger the weapon master you fight against, the stronger your abilities will become!

During his battles with Mu Jiannan this week, Ye Ge had already comprehended countless terrifying sword techniques...

Mu Jiannan looked at Ye Ge lying on the ground, not feeling jealous at all because her junior brother's swordsmanship talent might be stronger than hers. Instead, a faint smile appeared on her usually stern face.

Then I slowly bent down, helped him up, put his arm on my shoulder, and helped him back to the bamboo hut.

After a day of training, and being forced to train with all his might, Mu Jiannan was drenched in sweat, his black outfit completely soaked, the black cloth clinging tightly to his skin.

The same was true for Ye Ge; after his white clothes were soaked through, you could even see the faint flesh color through the clothes that clung to his skin.

This makes it look as if their skin is pressed tightly together.

Mu Jiannan felt his heart flutter again.

She had never been so close to any man before, let alone with Ye Ge's arm draped over her shoulder and his entire weight resting on her; it felt as if Ye Ge was hugging her...

'My junior brother said to accept one's chaotic mind; cultivators don't concern themselves with trivial matters, it's no big deal...'

Mu Jiannan took a deep breath, carried Ye Ge back into the bamboo house, helped him lie down on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
