Xu Chen chuckled softly, because so far the expression that Huo Yin let out was very funny.
"You're not crazy, just calm down! What you see is my shadow."
"Shadows?" Hui Yin frowned.
Xu Chen then explained about the Shadow Demon technique. Hui Yin heard it just clucked in admiration. If what he was facing earlier was only Xu Chen's shadow then what about the real Xu Chen.
"From now on I'll train you."
"Yes." Yeah."
Hui Yin now already did not doubt the ability that Xu Chen possessed.
"From now on your day won't be easy," Xu Chen smiled full of mystery.
***
A month passed quickly. It was unexpected that Hui Yin's cultivation level had increased drastically, from a three-star to a five-star practitioner, an incredible achievement that could not be separated from Xu Chen's intervention.
Hui Yin every morning took the Golden Tiger pill to help increase her cultivation, whereas at night Hui Yin always consumed the Lotus Flower pill to help multiply her Qi capacity. All of those pills were made by Xu Chen himself.
While Xu Chen had also taken the Golden Sun Pill and the results were very satisfying, Xu Chen had been at the realm of the late Expert that was the Nine Saint Emperor in a moment to become a Master.
Xu Chen had also taught Hui Yin the sword techniques of the Three Dances of the Goddess, namely the illusion dance, the Death dance, and the Red Rose dance.
Hui Yin had already mastered the Three Dances of the Goddess up to the advanced stage, Hui Yin could expend ninety percent of the power of the Three Dances of the Goddess.
Hui Yin also experienced various excruciating physical exercises from Xu Chen, Hui Yin every day, noon, day, and the afternoon would run up and down the mountain with arms stretched out and each hand holding the weight of one bucket of water and each leg of Hui Yin tied with a load of ten kilo grams, and the craziest thing was that if the water in the bucket that Hui Yin brought was reduced by a single drop then Hui Yin had to repeat everything from the beginning.
Yet Hui Yin went through that with a fervent manner, she had never protested at all with all the beyond-natural training given by Xu Chen.
Even so Hui Yin was also just an ordinary human, she was sometimes disoriented, getting a dead end in her training, and sometimes there was a sense of doubt in her heart, but it was at such times that Xu Chen always appeared and became the helper god for Hui Yin.
Xu Chen had always shared his training experience and fought it out on Huo Yin, making him return to spirit. If Hui Yin was running into a dead end in her training, Xu Chen had always directed her.
The way Hui Yin looked at Xu Chen was now also different. If in the past he had looked at Xu Chen like any other young man, who only wanted to enjoy his body now Hui Yin looked at Xu Chen with great respect and admiration. To Hui Yin, Xu Chen was her role model.
Despite all the difficult things that were now power, Hui Yin's speed increased drastically.
Xu Chen clucked in awe at Hui Yin's achievements, Xu Chen admitted his teacher's eyes were very observant in seeing one's talent. Getting a student who was as zealous, persistent, and unyielding as Hui Yin was a blessing to Xu Chen.
"Now he was ready for it," Xu Chen muttered softly but was heard by Hui Yin.
"Who for what, sir?" Hui Yin sat beside Xu Chen.
During this time, the two became very familiar. Hui Yin even openly told her life story.
Hui Yin was an ordinary village boy like any other child, but one day their village was robbed. The entire village massacred was only Hui Yin who survived.
Xu Chen looked at Hui Yin intensely.
"It's about time you found out. I hope you're not angry!"
"Not angry?" Hui Yin frowned.
Xu Chen then explained his goal of training Hui Yin to become what it is now. Hui Yin listened to Xu Chen's explanation with a fickle expression until her face became tangled when she heard Xu Chen say he wanted to send her in the Imperial palace to become a concubine or maid there.
Hui Yin wordlessly got up from her seat with teary eyes, the girl then ran into the forest with tears in her eyes. Hui Yin could not deny that after being with Xu Chen for a month love began to grow in her heart.
Hui Yin considered Xu Chen to have the same taste as he felt, because Xu Chen trained him to treat him well and was always there for him, but at this time Hui Yin heard for himself Xu Chen wanted to send her to the Imperial palace even Xu Chen said he wanted to make her the Emperor's concubine. How heartbroken Hui Yin was at this moment.
While Xu Chen was massaging his forehead looking at Hui Yin who was running away from him.
"Dealing with women is indeed a difficult thing, they are always carried away with feelings," Xu Chen exhaled violently.
"Hey, stupid disciple," the Dark Emperor suddenly made a sound.
"Yes, teacher. What's up?"
"It looks like I found your other talent," the Dark Emperor stroked his chin seriously.
"Hm, you have a knack for hurting women."
The Dark Emperor then laughed out loud even to the point of holding his stomach. While Xu Chen had a flat face, he had thought that his teacher would teach him something new, but it turned out that he was only being bullied by his teacher again.
After laughing for a while the Dark Emperor looked back at Xu Chen with a shriveled forehead.
"What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" Xu Chen also frowned in confusion, "Of course wait for Hui Yin to return," Xu Chen said casually.
The Dark Emperor paused for a moment before patting his own forehead.
"Are you stupid? you're gonna let people kill themselves in the woods there? quickly follow him," the Dark Emperor shook his head slowly.
Xu Chen clucked in annoyance then caught up with Hui Yin by feeling her aura.
**
Xu Chen looked at Hui Yin who was scavenging alone on the rock while looking at the perfect looking moon in the sky, because tonight was a full moon.
Xu Chen looked at Hui Yin from a distance then walked up to her.
"Tonight the moon is so beautiful?" Xu Chen emerged from behind Hui Yin and sat beside the line.
Hui Yin did not reject Xu Chen's arrival at all, yet she did not answer Xu Chen's question.
"Are you angry with me?"
Hui Yin threw her face away while shaking her head slowly.
Xu Chen clucked in annoyance in heart. When he first met Hui Yin he was so mature and independent but now Hui Yin became so spoiled.
"Alright," Xu Chen exhaled, "If you don't want to do it it's okay, now you're free to do what you want."
Despite saying so, Xu Chen honestly was heavy on releasing Huo Yin. Xu Chen thought of having spent a lot of money and manpower as well as time to train Hui Yin.
Xu Chen stood up from his seat about to leave but Hui Yin stopped him.
"What if that's how I can continue with you?"
Xu Chen stopped his steps then glanced at Hui Yin.
"No, I'll take my own path and you'll walk yours."
Xu Chen already did not want to deal with women anymore because after facing Qin Meng-Yu and Hui Yin, Xu Chen drew the conclusion that women were so complicated and difficult to understand.
"But I just want to be with you," Hui Yin lowered her head listlessly.
Xu Chen exhaled his coarse breath he no longer knew what kind of talk to Hui Yin.
"What if I did what you told me I could be with you?"
Xu Chen exclaimed in agreement, even though he actually did not really understand the common word Hui Yin said.
Xu Chen then explained that Hui Yin only needed to provide various information that the Empire side discussed with her.
"Are you a rebel?" Hui Yin looked at Xu Chen hard to interpret.
Xu Chen scratched his head he did not know what words he wanted to convey to Hui Yin.
Just as Xu Chen was still thinking about the smooth-sounding words, Hui Yin suddenly burst into hugging her body.
"I don't care who you are, rebel or otherwise I just want to be with you," Hui Yin hugged Xu Chen's body tightly.
"Yes," Xu Chen returned Hui Yin's embrace.
