It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Her slight response to being touched actually gave Katie an inexplicable thrill, or perhaps, perhaps, she'd gotten used to it? She playfully drew a circle around Bai Lin's belly button with her finger, then finally moved her fingers towards a pair of legs she greatly envied.

"Hmm"

Another strange sound came out of Bai Lin's mouth. She didn't know if it was a real change in her body or her own psychological suggestion, but she felt that her whole body had become strange.

At this moment, Katie couldn't stop her curiosity and began to move her hand again. Bai Lin suddenly woke up and felt that she couldn't go on like this.

"Stop it!" Bai Lin's sudden voice made Katie stop what she was doing. She turned to Bai Lin with a red face, and looked at Katie with eyes that seemed to be shining with tears.

(If you continue to make trouble, you won’t be able to pass the review! XD)

"What are you thinking about all day long, little guy? Just sleep and keep your hands to yourself."

This time, she seemed to be the one who was a little annoyed, but there was also a sense of aftertaste. Bai Lin instantly threw those dirty thoughts out of his mind.

I have a girlfriend, so I can't do the whole "eat pineapple, cut nails, brush teeth, tie hair" routine. And she's so young...

Bai Lin seemed to have forgotten that it was the young Katie who started it first.

Katie stuck out her tongue playfully, thinking back to her previous actions and wondering why she had done that. She rubbed her head against Bai Lin's chest.

"Then...can you let me hold you while you sleep? I'm not used to being alone yet."

Hearing this, Bai Lin's heart sank completely.

That's true, she really just became a human.

Thinking of this, Bai Lin put his arm around Katie and held her in his arms.

"That's fine, but you can only do what you just did with the person you like after you turn 18."

I get excited quickly and calm down quickly.

I was addicted to ff14 these two days, so there was no update yesterday

(I feel like no one is watching it, I have no motivation at all)

Chapter 27 Guards

"I'm not a kid anymore..." Katie protested softly, then closed her eyes. Bai Lin looked at her long eyelashes and chuckled, then closed his eyes as well.

Although I'm not very sleepy yet, I might as well enjoy the moment of peace between the two of us.

The sound of even breathing soon came from Bai Lin and Katie. It was a night where they used each other as pillows...

——The next day, dawn.

Bai Lin woke up to Katie's cry. Katie had already put on her coat and was shaking Bai Lin by the bed.

"Get up and have breakfast, Bai Lin." Bai Lin heard Katie say this in a daze.

As a otaku, it was common for him to sleep until noon and skip breakfast. Although he had gotten enough sleep, Bai Lin just wanted to stay in bed.

"do not do it"

"When people are subconscious, they don't notice how shameful their words are." - Bai Lin after waking up

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to speak in a very girlish voice, something that was out of character for her. This coquettish remark made Katie feel a tingling sensation in her ears, and she stared at Bai Lin's sweet sleeping form with a smile on her face.

This is the time to act recklessly, right? Katie asked herself inwardly. But when she thought of Bai Lin's words last night, her outstretched left hand suddenly turned towards Bai Lin's face.

Bai Lin naturally used his hand to block Katie's hand, turned over and lay on the bed.

Seeing her hand being blocked, Katie thoughtfully placed the basket in her left hand on the cabinet beside her.

She has some experience in waking up those who stay in bed.

Sure enough, I should use "that".

There was a creaking sound from the bed, and Bai Lin felt something heavy pressing on her legs, which frightened her so much that she opened her eyes instantly. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Katie sitting on her.

Eh, is this how Japanese anime wakes you up? This was the first thought that came to her mind.

"The sun is shining on your butt, Bai Lin. Hurry up and get up. You are the one who wants to save the world, and you can't just sleep the morning away." Katie said sternly in a cute tone.

Bai Lin looked at Katie with gentle eyes.

With such a lovely angel waking me up, it would be too much if I didn't get up.

"I surrender." Bai Lin regained consciousness and raised his hands in a French military salute. Katie smiled and moved her body off the bed. Bai Lin also sat up and changed into the clothes Katie handed over.

After washing up, while eating bread for breakfast and drinking water, she recalled everything that happened yesterday.

She had promised yesterday to go see Uncle Lighthar this morning. He left a good impression on her, and she needed a stable job right now. She couldn't just sit at home and eat Katie's meals.

"What are Bai Lin's plans for today?" Katie asked as she watched Bai Lin wolfing down his food.

"I'm going to the guard team." Bai Lin swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed to him by Katie, then stood up and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Katie narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That's right. As the Son of God, Bai Lin possesses great power, so it's only natural for him to join the Guard. But in that case, you should wear leather armor."

"That's true. After all, we are a guard team, so it's very likely that we will sweat a lot." Bai Lin automatically ignored the slight malice in Katie's tone and opened the task bar where he placed the leather armor.

At this moment, four big words that he had never noticed before caught Bai Lin's attention.

"Change clothes with one click."

Looking at these four words that brought her great convenience, Bai Lin excitedly selected her own leather suit on the interface. In an instant, the leather armor seemed to swallow up the clothes she was wearing and slowly changed them.

"Eh? Bai Lin really does know magic, right? Is there something wrong with my test results?" Katie asked doubtfully.

Bai Lin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "No, this is not magic. It's probably just some privilege given to me as the Son of God. Just understand it this way."

During the brief conversation, Bai Lin learned that the guards were at the easternmost part of the village. She immediately took action, and Katie also turned and walked towards the forest.

Although the streets were still sparsely populated in the early morning, some of the villagers, who had risen at sunrise, had emerged from their warm beds and ventured out onto the streets. The sparsely populated streets of this eastern region were not suitable. At least, when these villagers remained silent, Bai Lin could sense the medieval and exotic atmosphere of this village.

At the easternmost end of the village, a large courtyard, even larger than the infirmary, bore a wooden sign with a sword and shield. Male voices, resembling slogans, emanated from within. "This must be the guards," Bai Lin thought, as he entered.

"Six more laps - Hey, little girl Bai Lin, I knew you would come." Leidenhal, who was supervising the training of other members of the guard, noticed Bai Lin's appearance.

Bai Lin glanced at the men running around the yard. They were all shirtless, carrying rough, heavy stones on their backs. "Wouldn't that be painful?" she thought.

After Leidenhal shouted to his teammates, "Continue training," he trotted over to Bai Lin.

"We are all rough old men, please don't mind it." The other party noticed Bai Lin's gaze and said.

Bai Lin waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. He was also a man, so naturally there was no problem.

"Let's make a long story short. Asking me to report to the guard team probably means that I have to join the guard team, right?" Bai Lin looked up at Leidenhal and asked.

"Well... of course, but even though you are strong enough, you still have to go through the necessary procedures. First, let's take a look at the weapons used by the little girl, so that it will be easier to carry out some detailed work." Leidenhal slightly turned his body and gave up the weapons rack beside him.

Bai Lin shook his head and pulled out his sword and shield from the quest panel. This action surprised Leidenhal for a moment, but he quickly recovered. It was normal for the Son of God to have some special abilities.

"These are the weapons I use, a one-handed sword and a shield." Bai Lin gripped his shield tightly and held it against his chest.

"Well, not bad, very impressive! And the weapon is the same as mine. It seems we get along very well, little girl." Leightonhal laughed.

It’s not that I haven’t read the book reviews, nor am I aloof and not replying.

It’s just because I haven’t reached level 4 yet that I’m not allowed to return…

Chapter 28 Sword Practice

"However... when facing some monsters, short weapons are still too limited. You need to be equipped with a partner with a two-handed weapon. However, we have already paired up two people here, so let me think about it."

The uncle held his chin, frowned, and looked very distressed as he thought of a solution for Bai Lin.

Bai Lin shook his head. "No need. I can change my weapons, and I'm not good at cooperating with others. That would require a long period of training, and I probably don't have that kind of time."

"Can you change weapons? That's good, but the cooperation between two people is actually more than just matching the types of weapons. Let's talk about this later. Can you show me your weapon and shield?" Leidenhal stretched out his hand towards Bai Lin.

Although he didn't understand the reason, Bai Lin still extended his hand and shield, "No problem."

The moment he took the shield, Leidenhal's expression changed. He tried to lift the shield in his hand with some difficulty, then frowned, shook his head, and handed the shield back.

"Little girl, which one is heavier, your sword or your shield?" Leidenhal asked with a hint of solemnity in his tone, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Lin took the shield and weighed it in his left hand. "The shield is still a little heavier. What's wrong?"

"Are you... really a human? You have such slender arms, and your muscles look like they have never been trained, yet you can wield the shield that I can hardly lift with ease?" Leidenhal took down a shield from the weapon rack behind him. It had an ancient shape and looked much larger than the one in Bai Lin's hand, somewhere between a long shield and a tower shield.

He swung the shield in his hand and slammed it into the ground, leaving cracks around it. After that, Leidenhal naturally raised the shield and shook off the dirt on it.

"Excuse me, this is the heaviest shield I can wield, and I am also the strongest shield user in the entire guard. It is precisely because I know the importance of training that I ask this question which is not quite normal." The uncle's expression suddenly became serious.

Bai Lin once again re-examined the man before him. Unlike the man in armor, beneath the armor lay a body that didn't look particularly robust. While he looked tall and sturdy, he didn't have any large, exaggerated muscles.

Perhaps it was because the village lacked good nutrition, or perhaps it was some other reason. The uncle's sudden attention to etiquette made Bai Lin feel that he was different from the person he had imagined him to be—a cheerful and informal person.

"It's okay. But even if you say so, I can only barely deflect the Minotaur's frontal attack with my shield raised. My hands will also go numb from the huge impact, and my strength isn't very sufficient." Bai Lin waved the shield in her hand, feeling the weight of it. But she didn't feel it was too heavy.

"Little girl, you have to understand that none of us would use a shield to directly block a Minotaur's attack. We only do that when we're protecting our teammates." A frown crossed Leydenhar's face, but he quickly relaxed. After all, the girl standing before him wasn't just an ordinary girl.

Bai Lin smiled awkwardly. It seemed that his explanation had stabbed the other person in the heart. "Then, what other training do I need to go through?"

Leidenhal lowered his shield and resumed his previous serious expression.

"Of course it's swordsmanship instruction!"

——Out of consideration, the uncle led Bai Lin out of the village and instructed the young man who had spoken at the meeting to continue leading the training. In his left hand, he held a round shield slightly larger than Bai Lin's, and in the other hand, he held a long sword.

Regarding the swordsmanship instruction, although she wasn't one to enjoy learning, she was still happy to do it. Bai Lin had spent the entire day yesterday exploring sword techniques and had only found two or three attack skills that didn't consume energy. Perhaps Leidenhal's guidance would allow her to gain more energy.

Bai Lin had long been tired of this weapon mechanic of charging to become stronger. It was nothing more than using various means to accumulate energy and then switch forms. Naturally, the more means, the better, so that one could cope with various situations.

"That's enough." Unlike the forest on the other side, the place where the uncle and Bai Lin were now looked even more desolate, with only a vast snowy landscape. Bai Lin felt the cold wind scrape through her body like a sharp blade, so icy that she couldn't even open her eyes.

Leidenhal was in a similar situation. He was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, the fabric of which was probably not much different from Bai Lin's.

"Little girl, do you know why I let them train with stones on their backs? They are so rough that it will easily break the skin if they scrape against the flesh directly." Leidenhal narrowed his eyes, inserted his sword into the ice field, and used his shield to slightly block the wind and snow.

"I don't understand. I just know it's cold here. Why would a swordsmanship instructor be in a place like this? My resistance to cold is the same as a human's."

Bai Lin breathed in the cold air, feeling as if her lungs were frozen. She also used her shield to block the wind and snow. Unfortunately, the shield only covered her face.

"Hahaha, that's true. Then let me explain why. The sword style our guards are currently using is called the Blazing Iron Forging Method. Swinging the sword strengthens the body, transforming the iron body into a blade. In layman's terms, it means strengthening the body while swinging the sword, even to the point where even a hard blade can't cut through it."

The uncle spoke to this point, then took two steps forward, shouted, and swung his sword. Clear gaps were cut through the continuous snowfall, and his eyes opened completely. He gazed into the distance with a clear gaze, took a deep breath, and then turned back to look at Bai Lin, who was still shielding his face with his shield.

"Since your physical fitness is good enough, there is no need to take the inefficient method of carrying stones on your back. Face the wind and frost head-on and use your strong will to cut through the cold. The effect will be much more significant." The uncle said here, and knocked on Bai Lin's shield with his free hand with some dissatisfaction.

Bai Lin withdrew her shield in great dissatisfaction, "Is it too late to say we don't want to practice anymore?" There was even some grievance in her tone.

"No." The uncle didn't soften his attitude at all because of the other party's coquettishness. Bai Lin knew that his hard days were coming.

Chapter 29 Swinging the Sword

"No, the slash needs to be even wider. It needs to incorporate momentum and spirit. After achieving this, it needs to be stopped at the most appropriate point so that the next blow can be made!"

Leidenhal shouted, directing Bai Lin's sword strikes. But Bai Lin still couldn't overcome the cold; this was already her fifth strike. Because she didn't maintain her balance this time, Bai Lin nearly fell to the ground.

She was panting, and every breath of cold air made every part of her body feel painful. "I say, this force is already enough to make me fall. If the force is increased, the sword will definitely be unstable."

Leidenhal shook his head and slowly walked behind Bai Lin. "It seems that apart from your powerful strength, you don't even understand the basics of sword swinging. In terms of stabilizing your body, sword swinging is the same as using a shield." He raised Bai Lin's right hand to an angle.

"Based on your height, this angle is the standard position for you to make a diagonal slash. But for some reason, you always seem to pour too much force when you start to swing your sword. This is the main reason why your sword swing is unstable." Leidenhal patted Bai Lin's waist with his big hand.

"Look, when your hands reach this position, your waist has already relaxed. This is the main reason why your center of gravity is unstable."

"It's because of the cold that I was a little distracted..."

Leidenhal shook his head. "Don't make excuses when training yourself, little girl. You must know that I am teaching you wholeheartedly and have no intention of making things difficult for you. Even though I am weaker than you, I can still perform such a perfect and clean slash. There is no way you can't accomplish that."

Bai Lin was slightly stunned. It was true. He seemed a little impatient during his studies. He shouldn't question the uncle's guidance, but should identify the problem within himself. With this thought in mind, Bai Lin once again brought his sword in front of him and said, "I'll try again."

"Well, don't be afraid of failure. Before facing a monster, any mistakes are allowed. If one swing of the sword isn't enough, try a hundred times. No matter what the problem is, I will point it out one by one. All you need to do is work hard and keep improving."

Bai Lin let out a long breath of cold air and focused his attention on the tip of his sword.

She used to wield the sword mostly with two hands, and wasn't very good at it one-handed, but she could still reach her teacher's standard. For some reason, after arriving in this world, although her physical fitness had improved, success had become less easy.

By the way, maybe it’s not the change in sword length, but the change in body structure after becoming a woman?

Thinking of this, Bai Lin slightly adjusted his stance, tilting his left toe slightly backwards at shoulder level. Then he stepped forward again, keeping his wrist in the same position, and slightly exaggerated his forward movement while slashing diagonally.

hum-

The sound of the sword breaking through the air was prolonged, and she felt her vision and mind suddenly become clearer. She could hear the beating of her heart and feel the heat generated by her body. She completed the sword stance. Although it deviated slightly from the uncle's demonstration, she felt a fearlessness, a feeling of breaking free from the shackles of cold.

"Eh..." The uncle made a puzzled sound and walked to the side. "Hold this position for a while."

Bai Lin only felt that after swinging the sword, the clear feeling was gradually dissipating, but the familiar subtitles appeared in front of him again.

Unlocked skill, Slash

"Okay, that's enough. It was my fault for not thinking it through. I forgot about the gender differences while practicing, hahaha." Although the warmth brought by the sword swinging disappeared, the uncle's hearty laughter also made Bai Lin feel a little warm.
