The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

"Uh..." Feeling Mu Feier's questioning gaze, Su Qi visibly panicked. His eyes darted around as he quickly came up with a solution: "I just asked him to run an errand to let An Qing know that I'm safe."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the person outside spoke again, as if deliberately trying to undermine him.

"Young Master Su, you haven't paid for the meal yet."

"The cost of the meal?" Mu Feier smiled knowingly, giving off an expression that said, "Let's see how you explain this now."

"Shut up, can't we get married together next time? When have I ever owed you anything?" Su Qi shouted angrily towards the door, then tilted his head back with a defiant expression.

"I admit I went to steal some food just now, what can you do about it?"

Wow, you're getting tough now!

Mu Feier's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Fine, it seems I can't control you."

He turned around with a tone that suggested he was ready to give up.

Upon hearing this, Su Qi's face instantly lit up with smugness, feeling that his war of resistance had been won.

But the next second, Mu Feier suddenly flashed in front of him, pried open his mouth while he was smug, and then made a hand seal with her other hand, sending a stream of spiritual energy into him.

Su Qi felt a numbness in his tongue, and then that was it.

Having regained his freedom, he took several steps back to create distance, covered his mouth with his hand, and questioned her with a wary expression.

"what did you do to me?"

"It's just a minor spell to block the sense of taste!" Mu Feier put her hands behind her back, a faint smile on her face.

But to Su Qi, that smile was like a devil.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

I quickly took out the food I had just ordered from my storage ring. I had intended to save it for the next meal, but I couldn't worry about that now.

After taking several bites and confirming that he could no longer taste anything, Su Qi was filled with despair.

His trembling hand pointed at the culprit.

"Mu Feier, you're ruthless!"

The voice was shaking.

Mu Feier didn't take it to heart, and a smug smile even appeared on her lips.

"When you successfully fast, I will remove this technique from your body. Don't even think about asking someone else for help. I've tampered with the technique, and if you remove it incorrectly, you might never be able to taste anything again."

"puff……"

With his last glimmer of hope extinguished, Su Qi clutched his chest as if vomiting blood, staggering back two steps.

This is abuse!!!

"Think what you want, now continue practicing your sword!"

"Hmph, even if I, Su Qi, die here today, or jump off the main peak, I will never submit to you in the slightest!"

Su Qi acted very defiantly and turned to leave.

"If you practice well, I might temporarily lift the spell and let you eat something."

Mu Feier's soft tone made Su Qi stop in his tracks, but his stubbornness prevented him from giving in easily, and he seemed to be struggling.

"You can eat whatever you want!"

His Dao heart shattered instantly, and he walked back with a clear conscience, picking up the spiritual sword from the ground.

Perhaps feeling ashamed of himself, Su Qi blushed slightly and stubbornly insisted.

"I'm not surrendering to you, I just want to practice my sword skills."

"Pfft..."

Mu Feier couldn't help but laugh; she had never seen such a spineless cultivator.

One second they were so confident and tough, the next they were so cowardly.

"why are you laughing?"

Her delicate face was flushed red, her tone still stubborn, and her eyes glared at her with a fierce yet endearing look.

Mu Feier felt an urge to hug him and roughly ravage him, but she resisted.

Suppressing her laughter, she walked over and sat down on the swing.

"Keep practicing. When you've mastered the sword techniques I taught you, I'll let you eat."

Upon seeing this, Su Qi seemed to have thought of something and was clearly taken aback, blankly asking a question.

"Didn't you say this swing was childish before?"

Mu Feier was also taken aback before realizing that she had subconsciously sat on the swing and was swaying like a little girl.

Her cheeks flushed almost imperceptibly, and she looked away, not daring to meet Su Qi's gaze, and said indifferently.

"You don't even have a place to sit in this yard, where else am I supposed to sit if I don't sit here?"

"So that's how it is. I thought..."

Su Qi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he didn't continue, pretending not to see through her insincerity.

Seeing his dejected look, Mu Feier felt a pang of pity.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice.

"This swing... is quite well made."

After saying that, Mu Feier found another excuse for herself.

Well, I was just worried that it would dampen his enthusiasm and affect his sword practice, so I comforted him.

Really? I'm glad you like it!

Su Qi's previously dim eyes instantly lit up, and he began practicing his sword with great enthusiasm.

Idiot, who said they liked it?

Mu Feier cursed inwardly in embarrassment and anger, but when she looked up and saw Su Qi's sword moves, her face immediately darkened.

So you didn't remember any of what I said before?

It looked impressive, but none of its moves were correct.

"Su! Qi!"

Gritting her teeth, Mu Feier stood up and walked over, intending to slap this guy against the wall.

"Wow~"

Su Qi was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he subconsciously covered his head, squatted down, and shivered.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Feier finally couldn't bring herself to hit him. She sighed and gritted her teeth.

"I'll teach you one last time, so remember this! First of all, when you swing the sword, you need to pay attention to the angle of your grip..."

Fearing another instance of domestic violence, and also hoping for a good meal, Su Qi listened very attentively this time.

Seeing him nod frequently and occasionally appear thoughtful, Mu Feier was no longer so angry and finished explaining the key points of the sword technique in one go.

"Understand?"

Su Qi's mouth was slightly open and his eyes looked somewhat blank. Hearing the question, he lowered his head in shame, not daring to meet the other's gaze.

"Maybe...perhaps...exactly...you understand now?!"

Mu Fei'er felt dizzy and unable to look up at the sky. After a long while, she let out a long sigh.

"Fine, I'll teach you one move at a time."

A look of guilt flashed in Su Qi's eyes, and he obediently picked up his sword and pretended to be serious.

In reality, he already knew, but he was just pretending not to.

As for why he pretended...

Please watch the VCR!

"No, you need to raise your hand a little higher, and the angle of your sword strike should be a diagonal slash aimed directly at the enemy's vitals."

As Mu Feier spoke, she grasped Su Qi's hand holding the sword, helping him find the right angle and guiding him to swing the sword.

Before they knew it, the two of them were pressed close together.

"do you understand?"

After saying that, Mu Feier looked at Su Qi and then saw a face that was red to the roots of his ears.

Only then did she realize just how intimate their actions had been.

In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.

Mu Feier released her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her face slightly flushed as she tried to remain calm.

"That's it, try it yourself."

"Is that so?" Su Qi blushed, her voice trembling slightly, as she controlled her body to use the sword moves correctly.

"That's right!" Mu Fei'er was excited; she had finally gotten it right for once.
