Campsite
The moment Xia Tian and Mo Xiaoqi returned to the campsite. Xia Wu and Ling Chen looked at them with flushed faces, and their hearts fluttered, as they still remembered their hot scene.
Meanwhile, Yun Feng and Huo Jun looked at them questioningly, as they were still wondering why the two women forbade them to go check on them earlier.
Mo Xiaoqi didn't say anything, and she immediately laid down next to the two women, as she covered her red face.
"Why are you two looking at us like that?" Xia Tian asked the two men, as he glanced over at the two women. 'What happened to them? Why are they acting so weird? Even their faces are so red.'
Yun Feng suddenly asked. "What did you do with Xiaoqi just now, Brother Xia?"
"Hmm? What do you mean, Yun Feng?" Xia Tian asked again, as he sat cross-legged under a large tree.
"Ling Chen and Xia Wu forbade us to look for the two of you earlier, and they said that you would beat us up if we went there." After he said that, Huo Jun was shivering at the two deadly gazes directed at him. 'Did I say something wrong? Why do they look at me like that?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Tian was stunned for a moment, He then observed the faces of the two women, and they immediately looked away to avoid his gaze.
Alice suddenly said to him as she giggled. [The two of them are peeking at you dual cultivating with Little Qi, Master.]
Xia Tian choked on her words, and he cursed in his heart. 'Damn it, Alice! You should have warned me of their presence!'
[Humph! It's your own fault, Master! You let your guard down, because you are too engrossed in dual cultivating with Little Qi!] Alice turned to scold him instead. [Anyway, Isn't it good that they peeked at you two? Moreover, Little Wu has already fallen in love with you, and who knows, she might accept her feelings because she is jealous of Little Qi. As for Ling Chen, she doesn't seem to be completely emotionless, because I could feel the changes in her emotions earlier.]
'Sigh, you are too mischievous, Alice!' Xia Tian inwardly said as he shook his head slightly, and he then answered the two men. "Nothing happened, and the two of you don't have to think about their words anymore."
Since Xia Tian didn't want to say anything to them, Yun Feng and Huo Jun didn't press him to say it. Since it was already late, they all immediately went to sleep to rest. As for Xia Tian, he started cultivating normally until the morning.
-------------------------------------
The next morning, the six people had already started preparing to hunt beasts again. Yun Feng, Huo Jun, Ling Chen, and Mo Xiaoqi immediately dispersed into the forest in search of beasts that were on par with their cultivation.
This time, Xia Tian captured five less dangerous low level beasts, and he brought them to Xia Wu. "You can kill them, Little Wu."
"Huh?" Xia Wu looked at him in shock, and she really didn't expect that he would ask her to kill the beasts. "But-"
"Sigh! The world of cultivation is vast and deep, Little Wu. If you continue to behave like this, then you will never be able to become strong and independent, and you will always depend on others for the rest of your life." Xia Tian then took out a dagger and handed it to her. "I'm not asking you to kill indiscriminately, but you must dare to kill to protect yourself. If you don't have the heart to kill, then someday someone else will kill you. Even though these beasts aren't that dangerous, they can still kill you easily, if you continue like this."
Xia Wu received the dagger from him, but she did not immediately carry out his orders, and her body was shaking violently as she stared pitifully at the five beasts.
Xia Tian then patted her on the back, and he pushed her forward. "Do it, Little Wu."
With a trembling body, Xia Wu walked slowly towards the five beasts that were already powerless on the ground. She then crouched down beside a one-eyed monkey, and she held the beast's head, as she pressed the dagger to its neck.
'I... I'm sorry!' Xia Wu inwardly muttered, as she closed her eyes, and directly slit the beast's throat.
*Splurt*
She was shaking violently as she felt the beast's blood gush over her, and she was instantly vomited by the smell of the blood, even her face turned pale. "Barf... Cough..."
[Sigh, you are too harsh on her, Master.] Alice said with a low sigh, as she couldn't bear to see Xia Wu's condition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXia Tian himself was also aware that he was being too harsh on her, but if he didn't do that, then she would never change. 'Sigh, I am forced to do this for her own good, Alice. If she does not dare to kill, and she is also afraid of blood, then she will become a useless cultivator in the future.'
[Well, that's true, but your ways are too harsh and extreme for a delicate woman like her, Master.]
Xia Tian didn't say anything else; he just watched Xia Wu, who had already started preparing to kill the second beast.
Twenty minutes later, she had already killed the remaining beasts. But her condition was getting worse; she kept sobbing while vomiting, and her body was also shaking more violently, even her face was deathly pale.
Xia Tian sighed heavily seeing her condition; he then picked her up and hugged her tightly, as he channeled his light energy into her body to relieve her nausea. "I'm sorry, Little Wu. I've been too harsh on you, but I'm doing this for your own sake."
"I know you're doing this for my sake, cousin Tian. But-" Xia Wu replied quietly, as she hugged him tighter, and she continued to sob in his arms. "But it's my first time killing beasts, and I feel bad for them."
Xia Tian didn't say anything else to her, and he just hugged her in silence as he continued to caress her back while flowing his light energy through her body.
After a while, Xia Wu had stopped sobbing, her body was no longer shaking, and her nausea had disappeared. However, she still didn't want to take her arms off him, and she continued to bury her face in his chest.
But suddenly, they heard a loud explosion from another forest area. Alice immediately informed him. [There are several people attacking them, Master]
