Soti later, Yuan returned to his room while the others returned to their own training.
Li Jinxi woke up the following morning with an incredible headache and feeling like she'd been hit by a truck recently.
'Am I… still alive…?" She mumbled in a dazed voice.
It wasn't clear to her at first, but her mories of yesterday's training eventually resurfaced.
'Ahh… He was really ruthless yesterday… I have never been beaten like that… ever…'
A slight smile appeared on her face without her awareness.
*Knock* *Knock*
"It's . Are you awake?" Yuan's voice suddenly resounded.
"Yes, co inside."
Yuan entered the room the next mont.
"How are you feeling?" He asked her.
Li Jinxi turned to look at Yuan and said with a bittersweet smile, "My body hurts like hell…"
"I might have gone too far for your first session. Sorry."
"No, I needed that. I have never suffered such a defeat before. It really opened my eyes."
"Do you wish to continue?" Yuan suddenly asked.
"Of course." Li Jinxi imdiately responded without any hesitation in her voice.
"You'll wake up everyday like this, you know?"
"As long as I can beco stronger."
"..."
After a mont of silence, Yuan asked, "Why are you so desperate to acquire strength?"
"You might not believe , but I really don't have any motivation— at least I didn't until very recently. I enjoy fighting and improving myself. It's as simple as that." She calmly responded.
"I see… Then what is your motivation now? You have one now, right?"
Li Jinxi did not imdiately answer.
She slowly got off the bed and stood on her feet despite the pain coursing through her body.
She then walked to stand in front of Yuan.
"You're my motivation now. I want to defeat you."
Yuan smiled and said, "It's not going to be easy."
"I know, but I won't stop training until I defeat you… no matter how long it'll take."
And she continued, "Go wait for in the training area. I will be there in a bit."
"You want to train with your body like that? That's reckless."
"I can handle it," she said.
However, Yuan shook his head and said, "Go soak in so dicine first. I'll et you in the training area in a few hours."
"Okay…"
While Li Jinxi went to soak in dicine, Yuan returned to his own room.
He then took a seat on the floor in the lotus position and took a deep breath.
'Even though they are different techniques, they function almost the sa. I wonder if I will be able to control that golden aura if I deepen my understanding with Li Jinxi's naless technique?'
In just a few monts, a red aura began appearing around Yuan's body.
Although he'd learned Li Jinxi's naless technique, he doesn't have any intentions to use it. After all, he was only doing this to gain a better understanding for the technique.
Furthermore, his golden aura was vastly superior to the naless technique.
'I have only absorbed two thousand years worth of Tian Chenyu's mories right now, but there is nothing about the golden aura in these mories. Just how long did Tian Chenyu live? When does he learn to use the golden aura?'
'However, there's no need to be impatient. I have already managed to activate it once. I will eventually be able to control it.'
Yuan would continue to study the naless technique for the next few hours until he t up with Li Jinxi in the training area, where he would proceed to beat her until she was at the verge of death.
"How long are you two going to train like this?" ixiu asked him as she washed Li Jinxi's bloody figure.
"I'm not sure, but it'll probably be for a while. You don't have to clean her if you don't want to. I can do it by myself. You're probably better off using this ti to train yourself, after all." Yuan responded from outside the bathroom.
"No, I can do this. It doesn't take that much ti, and it's not like I can let you wash the body of another woman…" ixiu said with a slightly rosy face.
Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything I am not supposed to do to her. I already have you and Lulu, after all."
The redness on ixiu's face imdiately deepened, and she spoke, "T-That's not what I am worried about!"
Soti later, ixiu left the bathroom with Li Jinxi still unconscious in her arms.
"Thank you, ixiu." Yuan said to her as she placed Li Jinxi's body on the bed.
"You should go easier on her, Yuan. It feels weird seeing you beating on a young lady, even if she's soone like Li Jinxi."
Yuan chuckled, "I can't help it. Ordinary training thods won't work on her. And after realizing how much talent she has, it makes want to see her full potential."
ixiu sighed, "You've really changed, Yuan."
"Huh? What do you an?"
"Not long ago, you didn't even know the difference between a man and a woman. Now look at you. You're a competent teacher who has trained even an entire family of demon sealers."
"Your deanor has also changed. It pained to even look at you before because you were always depressed, but you're now brimming with confidence."
"If Yu Rou could see you now, I doubt she would even recognize you."
"Yu Rou, huh… ixiu, this might be a weird question, but who do you prefer? The old or the new ?" Yuan faced her with a serious look on his face.
"That's not a fair question, Yuan. It puts in an awkward position. It's not a question that I can answer. However, if I have to be honest, I like how we can talk with each other while being on the sa page, sothing that was not really possible back then. For example, the words 'I love you' would have a different aning if I said it to the old you and the current you. Do you understand?"
Yuan chuckled, "Yes, I understand. I am well aware of how naive I was back then, and I'm sorry for all of the inconveniences it caused you."
ixiu shook her head while blushing.
"Anyways, are you free now?" Yuan suddenly asked her.
"Besides training, I don't have anything else—"
Before she could even finish her sentence, Yuan picked her up and carried her like a princess.
"Y-Yuan?!"
"I want to thank you properly for helping today. Let's go to your room." Yuan smiled.
"O-Okay…" ixiu imdiately understood the aning behind his words and nodded in a bashful manner.
