Chapter 3: The Beautiful Master

  A woman's smile has a magical power that can calm even the most furious of emotions.

  The girl's temperament was infectious, and Xuan Yuan, who had been somewhat lost and helpless, felt a sense of peace. It was an indescribable feeling, as if being with this girl would bring a warm and cozy feeling like being at home. This was the feeling that the girl in front of him gave to Xuan Yuan.

  At the same time, Xuan Yuan was also extremely shocked and came to a conclusion that this woman could easily crush him with her bare hands, and he hadn't even seen how she had made her move earlier.

  "Who killed her husband?" The woman smiled, barefoot and beautiful to the point of stunning, step by step approaching Xuan Yuan. At this time, Gu Xing also stood in front of Xuan Yuan, making a warning sound, but the woman ignored it. Xuan Yuan looked at the tall woman in front of him, who was at least a head taller than himself. He thought that just now, he hadn't even seen how she had moved her hands and yet she had been able to send him flying. Xuan Yuan knew that using force would not work, so he could only use verbal attacks:

  "This is my home, you sleep in my home, and you still dare to hit people?"

  The woman's footsteps stopped, and she looked around at her surroundings. In the blink of an eye, there was a subtle charm that couldn't be put into words. Looking at Xuan Yuan's body, his clothes were tattered and worn out, with bloodstains on the edges of the torn fabric from being whipped repeatedly. Through the tattered clothes, the woman saw some parts of Xuan Yuan's body, where wounds had already scabbed over. After sizing him up for a while longer, the woman smiled and said:

  "Your physique is not bad, but you don't even have the strength of a small fighter. How can you prove that this is your home? What ability do you have to hollow out this big tree and open up a tree house?"

  "You sleep under my bed, lift up the fur, there is a secret compartment under the bed, inside the secret compartment are 936 pieces of Douzi currency." Xuan Yuan pointed to the middle part of that bed, with a straight face and a justified tone.

  The woman was stunned for a moment, lifted the magic tiger skin, and indeed under this wooden window, a hidden compartment was also dug out, and all the Douzhe coins inside were taken out, counted one by one, and it was indeed 936 Douzhe coins.

  A hint of emotion flickered across the woman's face. Xuan Yuan took a step forward, his expression unyielding, and snorted:

  "Lonely star, dig out the bones you've hidden and show them to her, let her know whose home this is."

  "Ao wu." The lonely star cried out and hastily dug up a huge femur of a magic cow from one corner of the tree house.

  "Now you still dare to say this isn't my home? If you don't believe me, I'll show you again." Xuan Yuan walked over to a tree wall, opened a hidden compartment, and inside were some dried meat and some clean water.

  "Do you believe now?"

  "I'm so sorry, I was tired earlier and found this wonderful place to rest for a while. Now that the owner is back, I should be going." The woman smiled slightly, her breath as fragrant as orchids, extremely refreshing and elegant, bowed slightly, then walked towards the wooden door.

  "Wait a minute, you've occupied my place and even hit me without reason, just to leave like this? Is there such an easy thing?" Xuan Yuan climbed up the pole, such a big beauty, if he let her go like this, it would be a waste of his ancestors' eighteen generations of accumulated virtue. In fact, there was another important reason, Xuan Yuan wanted to get more information about this world from this woman's body, including his memories of cultivation!

  The girl was stunned for a moment, her red lips moved:

  "What do you want? With your strength, you can't even hurt a single hair on me. I'll leave first, and you won't be able to stop me."

  Xuanyuan suddenly became hoarse, and after a moment's thought, he slowed down his tone and said warmly:

  "You can't just ignore reason, how about this, you teach me to cultivate, teach me for a month's time, and that will be your compensation for hitting me, after a month, you can leave if you want."

  The girl looked at Xuan Yuan, probably around 14 years old. Seeing that Xuan Yuan had arranged everything so neatly and methodically, it seemed to be in line with her thoughts. Looking at the injuries on Xuan Yuan's body, it was clear that he had been bullied. Although Xuan Yuan's physique was not bad, for someone who had cultivated before, it would still be easy to bully him.

  Looking at Xuan Yuan's resolute expression, the woman hesitated for a moment before inexplicably agreeing.

  "Alright! I'll teach you for a month's time. A month later, I will leave, don't say I didn't give you the opportunity."

  Xuanyuan jumped up excitedly, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and nodded repeatedly:

  "Don't worry, no problem. I've always been someone who seizes opportunities. But before that, what should I call you? My name is Xuan Yuan!"

  "Xuanyuan? Xuanyuan, what an interesting name. I am Yin Zhenluo." Yin Zhenluo stepped lightly on her jade-like feet, put on the cloud boots that had been taken off under the bed, and walked to Xuanyuan's front, saying.

  "Do you really intend to let me teach you how to cultivate? This path may not be good, and for someone like you who is content with a simple life of hunting and living off the land, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Why bother getting entangled in the turbulent world of cultivation?"

  "People may not have the heart to harm a tiger, but tigers do have the intention to hurt people. In this world, it is ultimately the strong who are respected for their power. Look at the scars on my body - I was merely startled by the young master of Moon Desolate City, and nearly beaten to death by Moon Extermination's carriage driver. I was dragged to the burial grounds, left hanging by a thread, barely surviving with a single breath. All because of this Moon Extermination, who killed Lonely Moon, my companion since childhood. Now only Lonely Star remains. If I don't avenge this grudge, what is the point of being human?"

  Xuanyuan's eyes flashed a bloodthirsty glint, his murderous intent fully exposed.

  "It's all right, a good man born in the world should enjoy his life and settle his scores with relish. Only by living a life of thrill and excitement can he be considered a true hero. A timid soul who lives a dull and peaceful life is not as good as a heroic figure who shines for just a moment!"

  Yin Zhenluo moved her lips slightly, and finally let out a sigh, saying:

  "Whatever, if you think so, I have nothing to say, take off your clothes then."

  Xuan Yuan was taken aback, taking a few steps back, his hands clasped to his chest. However, his eyes were fixed on the beautiful collarbone of Yin Zhenluo's chest. The thought of spending a month in cohabitation with this beauty moved Xuan Yuan to the point where tears almost fell from his eyes. According to Old Beggar's words, a wife like this would require accumulating a hundred lifetimes of good deeds to have a chance at marrying her.

  "What do you want to do? I'm a proud and chivalrous man with a clear conscience, but you..."

  Yin Zhenluo was both angry and amused, taking a step forward to stand in front of Xuan Yuan. This time, Xuan Yuan clearly saw her movement, and with a flick of her jade finger, she struck his forehead, sending a sharp pain through him. This time, the force was much lighter, only causing Xuan Yuan to stumble back a few steps.

  Xuanyuan's heart skipped a beat:

  "How can she be so formidable? She's just a woman, yet with just one flick of her finger, she has such incredible strength. Is this woman even human? Is she an abnormality?"

  "There's nothing to be surprised about, those who have cultivated are beyond what you can imagine as someone who hasn't even started cultivating yet. You're very dirty, hurry up and wash your body clean, change into some clean clothes. I have a bottle of healing medicine here that can help your injuries heal faster. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to cultivate and bring you into the world of cultivators." Yín Zhēnluó took out a jade bottle from her waist and tossed it to Xuányuán.

  "Thank you, beautiful Master." Xuan Yuan took the jade bottle and grabbed a set of clean clothes from under the bed, then ran out quickly, cheering:

  "Lonely star, go take a bath!"

  Looking at Xuan Yuan's back, Yin Zhenluo gazed for a moment before smiling and murmuring to herself:

  "Huang Xuan? I'd like to see that! A month from now, what level will you be able to reach?"
