“That was only about 3 metres away, I can still improve!” Xiao Yun didn’t feel any satisfaction from killing the mosquito. His powerful senses meant he was able to track the mosquito’s every action.

The mosquito, which used to seem quite quick, now seemed extremely slow.

He could even use his senses to predict where the mosquito would fly.

Buzz!

At this time, a moth flew by in the distance.

“About 6 metres away, perfect!”

Xiao Yun’s eyes lit up as he stepped out, and a ray of sword light shot out, piercing towards the moth.

By the time Xiao Yun’s feet landed on the ground, the moth also floated to the ground.

That sword strike had been fast to the extreme - if he had been fighting someone, he would have been able to hit them without them even moving!

“Continue!” Xiao Yun didn’t relax, and instead sent his senses around the courtyard, striking towards any insects that he found flying around.

Over the course of the day, most of the insects within the courtyard had been killed by him.

As night fell, bonfires were lit in the courtyard, attracting countless insects.

Swish, swish!

Beside the bonfires, the youth continued to kill the insects.

“Big bro, when are you going to stop?” Xiao Ling’Er sat under a stone pagoda as she gripped her hands together, looking bored. It had been an entire day, but her big brother didn’t look as if he was going to stop. He had become obsessed with his training.

“Hehe, young master Yun has always been a training-addict; look at all those poor bugs,” Maid Huan’Er said as she watched with her large eyes. However, when she looked at the youth practising with his sword, an expression of adoration appeared in her eyes. “Young master Yun’s so handsome, and he looks so cool while training with his sword. With how diligent he is, he’ll definitely become powerful in future.”

Time continued to pass, and the youth continued to strike out with his sword, killing those insects.

Buzz!

10 metres away, a group of insects beat their wings as they flew over. Xiao Yun’s eyes flashed as he jumped over and slashed out.

Swish, swish!

Light reflected off the sword as the insects fell to the ground. All of them had either been pierced by the sword or cut in half. All of them had been killed by the sword itself, as opposed to the wind brought by the sword.

If a cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering attacked with his full strength, the power brought by the sword would be enough to kill that group of insects.

However, killing them with the sword itself was different.

This tested a cultivator’s control of the sword, as well as their speed and senses. Evidently, Xiao Yun had achieved this.

“I’ve finally attained basic mastery.” At this moment, Xiao Yun finally stopped training.

“Big bro, I’ll wipe your sweat for you!” Seeing that her big brother had finished training, Xiao Ling’Er hurriedly took out a towel and diligently wiped the sweat on his forehead. Her sincere and lovable appearance made her seem like a little wife.

“I’ll do it myself.” Seeing his little sister look so cute and delightful, Xiao Yun smiled and wanted to take the towel from her.

“No, won’t big bro let me do anything?” Xiao Ling’Er blinked, looking at the youth resolutely. It was as if him refusing would hurt her feelings, and make her feel useless. After all, usually it was her big brother looking after her, and she was unable to do anything to help him.

“Girl, you don’t think your big bro’s smelly?” Xiao Yun laughed as he patted her head.

“If big bro wants, Ling’Er will stay by your side forever and look after you,” Xiao Ling’Er said as she blinked and looked at the youth in front of her. There was a strange light inside her eyes as her eyelashes trembled and she looked down.

“Miss Ling’Er, young master Yun has me to look after him.”

Huan’Er walked over with a bowl of hot demonic python soup as she gave a bright smile, saying, “Young master, drink this fire python soup; it’ll help resist the chills.”

When she heard Huan’Er’s words, a slight look of unhappiness appeared in Xiao Ling’Er’s beautiful eyes. Xiao Yun felt quite strange as she pouted and looked quite displeased. Did he say something wrong?

After eating and drinking the soup, Xiao Yun did not continue to train with his sword, but instead went back to his room to continue cultivating the Heaven-Devouring Divine Art.

After a night of cultivating, the youth finally stopped, and his eyes looked bright and piercing. Evidently, he was in a good mood.

“My spirit energy has become stronger, and if this continues, I’ll soon be able to use my spirit energy to disrupt other people’s minds and spirits. I should go to the Violet Cloud Mountain now.” Now that he had attained basic mastery of the Cloud Piercing Sword Art and the Heaven-Devouring Divine Art, Xiao Yun’s self-confidence greatly increased, and he felt that he could go to the Violet Cloud Mountain. After all, relying on the thin Essence Qi here would make it difficult for him to break through.

“However, I need to go see big sister Shi Fei before I go,” Xiao Yun thought as he headed towards the Duke’s manor.

Back then, Yan Shi Fei had gone to the Violet Cloud Mountain to find a Violet Vine’s soul, but had returned injured.

Whenever he thought to this, Xiao Yun felt quite guilty. He had always wanted to repay her, so this time, he wanted to see if he could find a Violet Vine’s soul in the depths of the Violet Cloud Mountain. That way, he would be able to fulfil his desire of many years.

When Xiao Yun entered the Yan family’s residence, many of the family members greeted him in a friendly manner. “Good morning, young master Yun!”

However, just as Xiao Yun was about to enter Yan Shi Fei’s courtyard, her mother suddenly said, “Xiao Yun has come to see Fei’Er again?” When he saw her gaze, it seemed that she didn’t quite welcome him, and wanted him to leave.

This caused Xiao Yun to slightly frown.

“Mmm,” Xiao Yun nodded.

“Young master Yun, thank you for taking care of Fei’Er for the past 2 years. However, you’re not young anymore, so if there’s nothing important, please don’t go find her. It’s not very good for you or her; after all, a young Miss’ reputation is very important.”

Yan Shi Fei’s mother gave a light laugh, pretending to be courteous. However, her words made it evident that she didn’t want Xiao Yun and her daughter to become any closer. The so-called reputation was just an excuse.

Over the past 2 years, it was already known to almost the entire Violet Cloud County that Xiao Yun would go help the Yan family’s big Miss to extract her poison every once in a while. They were already quite close, so how could her reputation be sullied after all this time?

Xiao Yun felt quite unhappy when he heard these words. However, he realised what it was about. “It’s probably because of the matter with Fang Hao.”

The incident of Fang Hao threatening the Xiao family had probably been spread around the entire Violet Cloud County. Yan Shi Fei’s mother’s attitude was the best evidence. “Does she really think I’m inferior to that Fang Hao?” Xiao Yun’s mouth twitched at this thought.

“I won’t be too long,” Xiao Yun replied as he looked towards Yan Shi Fei’s mother.

“Mm, that’s good,” she replied.

Xiao Yun bowed as he clasped his hands together and walked towards Yan Shi Fei’s courtyard.

“The old man has asked people in the family to ask for a top-grade antidote pill. That way, we won’t need this Xiao Yun to help Fei’Er extract her poison anymore, and our girls won’t have to interact with him anymore. He has a trash Martial Spirit, and yet he offended Fang Hao. What sort of potential could he have?” Yan Shi Fei’s mother muttered to herself as she looked at the youth, then left.

After walking into the courtyard, a light smile appeared on Xiao Yun’s face.

Over the past 8 years, Xiao Yun had long since become used to being treated like this by others.

As such, he completely understood what Yan Shi Fei’s mother was thinking.

Xiao Yun shook his head and walked further into the courtyard.

“Where’s your Miss?” Xiao Yun asked one of the maids.

“Miss is currently bathing; please wait for a bit, young master Yun,” a lovely-looking maid courteously said.

Xiao Yun was quite amazing to these people. Even True Essence realm experts were unable to extract this vicious poison, yet he could do it with ease. How many people could save others from death like him?

It was a pity that this was a world where might was supreme.

Unless his healing could reach a realm where he could bring the dead back to life and cause flesh to regrow over bones, it would be difficult for him to obtain the respect of martial cultivators.

After a while, the young woman had finished bathing, and Xiao Yun was invited in.

Yan Shi Fei was wearing an elegant gown, and her jet-black hair swung around her lovely bottom as her waist twisted. Her chest was quite large and perky, and her gown was unable to cover it up completely, which left some whiteness exposed.

Beneath that whiteness was a deep gorge.

Gulp!

When he looked at the young woman’s perfect body, as well as the white rabbits that were almost bursting out, Xiao Yun gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

“Bis sister Shi Fei’s becoming larger and larger,” Xiao Yun thought as he glanced at the young woman’s chest.

His gaze was deeply attracted by what he saw.

“Little brother Xiao Yun, you’ve come to see big sister again?” Yan Shi Fei’s waist turned as she patted her hair with her hands, causing beads of water to fall onto the ground. Just this simple action alone accentuated her beautiful figure even more.

This was especially so because whenever she moved her hands, her large chest would shake. The whiteness caused the youth to stare as he wanted to see what sort of enchanting scene lay underneath.

“Eh?” Yan Shi Fei had spoken, but hadn’t heard a response from the youth, which made her puzzled

She looked over, and saw the youth’s burning hot gaze on her body.

“Brat, what are you looking at?” Yan Shi Fei rolled her eyes at the youth, and stopped working on her hair. She stretched out, then walked towards Xiao Yun while twisting her supple hips, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

However, Xiao Yun was evidently not very scared by her expression. Instead, he felt that she looked even more beautiful and breathtaking. The youth wrung his hands as he gave a light smile, saying, “Who told big sister Shi Fei to be so enchanting?”

The young woman had just finished bathing, and she had quite a charming air around her; Xiao Yun was reluctant to look away.

“You’re becoming more and more slippery-tongued,” Yan Shi Fei laughed as she chided him, but she didn’t seem angry or offended.

“No way, it’s because big sister Shi Fei’s becoming prettier and prettier,” Xiao Yun said as he shrugged helplessly.

2 years ago, this young woman’s body still hadn’t fully developed, so he didn’t feel so enchanted. However, Xiao Yun felt as if the past 2 years had passed by like a dream, and this young woman’s figure magnetically attracted his eyes.

Has big sister Shi Fei become prettier, or have I grown up?

“Oh, you. Big sister really doesn’t know what to do with you.” Yan Shi Fei smiled at him and seemed quite happy. She sat at the chair next to the youth as she lightly held a tea cup, taking a sip. She wasn’t angry at all towards him.

During these 2 years, because of the toxic poison, she had experienced quite a bit.

 Back then, almost all of the Violet Cloud County’s rich and powerful young masters tried to get close to her. However, after it was announced that there was no hope left for her, they all became cold and distant. Slowly, no one came to visit her, treating her like someone who was already a corpse.

After experiencing the coldness of these people, Yan Shi Fei very rarely came into contact with others.

However, Xiao Yun had continuously come to extract her poison for her over the past 2 years, which made her feel incredibly grateful.

In this sort of boring and reclusive lifestyle, chatting with him and teasing each other made her feel quite relaxed.

As such, Yan Shi Fei had slowly become used to this half-mature youth’s teasing.
