Whispering Plains is vast, and we traveled for another day on the second day.

Qiu Yue drove the chariot, while Feng Ling teased the Berserk Giant Bear.

The Berserk Giant Bear has now become very small, with a cute and harmless appearance.

Who would have thought that this ferocious mythical beast, when shrunk many times over, would look quite cute?

Feng Ling played with it the whole way, having a great time.

Hong Xiu was practicing the Azure Origin Sword Art that Chen Wang had taught her.

On the evening of the second day, they arrived at a small town.

This town is called Huang Feng Town, and it is somewhat similar to Hong Ye Town. Many such places are gathered on Whispering Plains.

After they went inside, they found a hotel to stay in, where the Feng Family's logo was very eye-catching.

Upon entering the hotel, they were assigned to the best room.

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised.

"The Feng Family's business is that big?"

Feng Ling raised her head. "Of course, the Feng Family has business in all three major countries."

She had a haughty look on her face, chin held high, like a proud little hen.

Chen Wang patted her bottom, and Feng Ling couldn't help but gasp.

"Stop showing off," Chen Wang said with a smile.

After settling in, Chen Wang took a nice hot bath and relaxed in the hot water.

There's a place in Huangfeng town where you can stay quite nicely.

Chen Wang sat in the courtyard, with the Berserk Giant Bear Xiao Si at his feet. Compared to Feng Ling, who teased it all day long, Xiao Si actually preferred Chen Wang.

At least that wretched human doesn't play with it.

Chen Wang was sitting in a chair with the Berserk Giant Bear lying on his feet as a footrest.

The Berserk Giant Bear, with its thick hide and tough flesh, didn't care and lazily lay there.

At this moment, Feng Ling walked in. She, Hong Xiu, and Qiu Yue had all taken a hot bath, and there were still water droplets in her hair. When she saw the Berserk Giant Bear, she said with concern, "Oh dear, what are you doing?"

She quickly hugged the shrunken, Berserk Giant Bear bear to her chest and gently patted Chen Wang, saying, "Why did you use it as a stepping stone?"

Chen Wang said with a smile, "There's no footstool either. This thing is so fleshy, I find it quite comfortable."

Feng Ling had just changed her clothes and was smelling sweet. At that moment, her chest was being squeezed by the Berserk Giant Bear.

The Berserk Giant Bear was also a female bear, and as she held him in her arms, he couldn't help but think, "This human woman must have a lot of milk."

The thought crossed its mind, but at this moment it could only act cute and adorable as Feng Ling held it in her arms.

Chen Wang said, "I just used it as a footrest, and now you're holding it in your arms. This bath was a waste of time."

Feng Ling stuck her tongue out at Chen Wang.

She was very brave and innocent. Although she was a little afraid of Chen Wang, apart from patting her butt and occasionally taking advantage of her, Chen Wang didn't do anything scary.

Therefore, Feng Ling would occasionally muster up the courage to revert to her true nature.

As expected, Chen Wang did not hold it against her.

At this moment, Hong Xiu and Qiu Yue also arrived in the courtyard.

The two women each possessed a unique charm; one was aloof and the other alluring. Although they wore similar clothes, they gave off contrasting impressions: one like a red rose, the other like a white rose.

Chen Wang Middle Vehicle in the courtyard when he suddenly said, "How about we have a fight to test our skills?"

He was speaking to Hong Xiu.

Hong Xiu was eager to try.

She and Qiu Yue had a very good relationship, but it was normal for them to spar occasionally.

Qiu Yue said, "You want the two of us to put on a show for you?"

Her tone was extremely impolite, and Hong Xiu was taken aback.

After thinking it over, she realized that this seemed to be the attitude she should have. Had she been too kind to this despicable bastard these past two days? Chen Wang looked at Qiu Yue and smiled faintly, "I taught her a new Cultivation Method these past two days. Don't you want to see its power?"

Qiu Yue snorted.

To be honest, that's what she thought.

That was just a subconscious act of hostility towards Chen Wang.

A moment later, Hong Xiu and Qiu Yue took their stances and began to fight in the courtyard.

At this moment, everyone was curious about the power of this new Cultivation Method.

Feng Ling also hugged the teddy bear and watched from the side.

At this moment, she was diagonally in front of Chen Wang. After squatting down, she outlined the shape of her buttocks, which were as tempting as a peach.

Chen Wang glanced at it twice and smiled slightly.

Feng Ling seemed to notice something, her face flushed red, she rolled her eyes at Chen Wang, and then moved to another seat.

Hong Xiu and Qiu Yue have sparred countless times since they were young, and their skills are roughly equal.

In the first few dozen moves, Qiu Yue would have the upper hand, but after a hundred moves, the outcome would be decided.

Therefore, Qiu Yue is usually more powerful than Hong Xiu.

At this moment, the two assumed their fighting stances, circulating their battle aura.

Qiu Yue was using the Phoenix Battle Qi of the Feng Family. The red battle qi made the air feel scorching, as it was a fire-attribute Cultivation Method.

Hong Xiu was originally the same as her, but at this moment, her fighting spirit was light blue, giving people a cool and refreshing feeling.

Qiu Yue raised an eyebrow. Could it really be changed? Could the attributes of Cultivation Method also be changed?

Hong Xiu hadn't yet tested her sword techniques during her two days of training. At this moment, the two of them each drew their longswords, their blades gleaming coldly.

Their eyes met, and they began to fight.

As soon as the two clashed, Qiu Yue realized that Hong Xiu was extraordinary. With a single sword strike, she almost couldn't defend herself and her arm went numb.

Hong Xiu activated the Azure Origin Sword Art, unleashing extremely fierce Sword Qi, yet her meridians were able to withstand it.

Keep in mind that her meridians haven't improved at all during this period.

The battle qi cultivated from the Azure Origin Sword Art made her feel even more comfortable, and she could circulate it quickly and fiercely.

After three moves, she knocked Qiu Yue's longsword away with a clang.

Qiu Yue was so shocked by the Sword Qi that she could barely lift her arm.

She was immediately incredulous.

In the past, when the two of them fought, it would take at least a hundred moves before a winner could be decided, until they were both exhausted.

Both of them were highly talented and hardworking, but Qiu Yue was defeated by Hong Xiu in three moves.

This is because Hong Xiu is not very familiar with the Azure Origin Sword Art.

"How could that be? It's only been two days..."

"Qiu Yue exclaimed in surprise."

Hong Xiu also had some pleasant surprises.

She turned to look at Chen Wang, Chen Wang nodded slightly in approval.

Hong Xiu was overjoyed and completely forgot that her stance should be aligned with Qiu Yue and opposed to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang pondered for a moment and said, "You should be considered a peak swordsman now, but you are not familiar with the operation of the Azure Cloud Sword. This sword technique emphasizes moderation and balance, and is grand and majestic. Simply focusing on rapid output will actually put you at a disadvantage."

Hong Xiu suddenly felt enlightened, as if she had vaguely had this feeling earlier.

She bowed slightly to Chen Wang: "Thank you for your guidance."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance?"

Hong Xiu blushed and gently bit her lip.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Chen Wang waved to her.

"Come here, the way you circulated your battle qi just now was a bit off."

Hong Xiu now regarded Chen Wang as a god, and unconsciously walked over to him.

Chen Wang pulled her into his arms, and as she turned around, he pressed several important acupoints on her back, from the Jiaji Xuanguan to her life gate.

Chen Wang's fingers gently brushed against Hong Xiu's body, causing her to involuntarily tense up, her face turning as red as if it could drip blood.

This was happening in front of Feng Ling and Qiu Yue.

However, when Chen Wang gave his instructions, a wisp of spiritual energy seeped in.

Hong Xiu sensed the direction of this energy, and suddenly it dawned on her, resolving some of the problems she had with cultivating the Azure Origin Sword Art.

"You didn't unleash the full power of this Cultivation Method just now. Try it again," Chen Wang said.

Qiu Yue thought to herself, "This person must have deliberately taken advantage of Hong Xiu. It was already terrifying that she was defeated in three moves. She hadn't even practiced sword techniques, only Cultivation Method. How could she have such a significant improvement with just a simple pointer?"

She hadn't actually expended much power just now.

At this moment, the two resumed their stances, with Hong Xiu carefully remembering the route Chen Wang had taught her for circulating her Cultivation Method.

The moment the two clashed, Qiu Yue's vision blurred, and Hong Xiu's Movement Method became twice as fast.

As the sword struck, a terrifying surge of fighting spirit flowed into her body through the blade.

Qiu Yue was sent flying backward with a bang, crashing into a pillar, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Hong Xiu was startled and quickly helped Qiu Yue up.

Qiu Yue, whose body was half numb, exclaimed in horror, "How could this be?"

Hong Xiu asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Qiu Yue shook her head. "It's nothing."

Chen Wang nodded and said, "This is only about 80% of the power of the Azure Origin Sword Art. We will need to become more familiar with it before we can unleash its full potential."

Upon hearing this, the three women were utterly shocked. This was only 80% of his strength?!

In other words, even at the same cultivation level, practicing the Azure Origin Sword Art yields far greater internal strength than practicing other Cultivation Method, and the improvement in speed and power is far more terrifying! Hong Xiu exclaimed in surprise, "Is this Cultivation Method from the Divine Bloodline Family?"

"I made this up," Chen Wang said calmly.

The three of them were so shocked by what they heard that their jaws nearly dropped.

Qiu Yue was injured, Chen Wang came to her side.

Qiu Yue looked at him with annoyance, her attitude towards him neither warm nor cold.

"Your temper is really unpleasant. Hong Xiu is much more obedient than you."

Chen Wang released Qiu Yue's hand, shrugged,

"I was originally going to give you some pointers and heal your injuries, but now it seems I should just forget about it."

Qiu Yue turned her head away and snorted coldly, wiping the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. "Who told you to treat me!"

Chen Wang had already turned away, completely ignoring her.

He had just verified his idea and muttered to himself, "It's still a bit slow to get started, and the meridian circulation could actually be simplified a bit more."

He plans to go back and make some improvements.

Feng Ling was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Qiu Yue was not seriously injured at this time, and was helped down to rest by Hong Xiu.

Feng Ling ran over and tentatively asked, "Can you teach me?"

Chen Wang asked, "Do you want to learn?"

Feng Ling like a chick pecking at rice.

"Of course I want to learn it! It's amazing! It's much more powerful than Phoenix Battle Qi!"

Chen Wang said, "A mere slave girl, I won't teach her."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Feng Ling grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "Just teach me! You taught Hong Xiu, but we met first, you can't be fickle!"

Everyone else prefers young ladies and looks down on maids, but this bastard treats Hong Xiu better than he treats himself.

"I was here first!" Chen Wang said. "Let's do it another day."

"Hong Xiu's slow progress is due to incompatible attributes; she practiced Cultivation Method of different attributes. But you are different. You are naturally suited to the fire attribute, so this Cultivation Method is most suitable for you. You are just a little slow."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling was struck dumb.

Back in the room, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Wang said calmly, "Come in."

The door creaked open, and it wasn't Feng Ling who entered, but Hong Xiu.

Seeing Hong Xiu standing there, Chen Wang asked, "What's wrong?"

Hong Xiu said, "Qiu Yue seems to be seriously injured. Could you treat her?"

These Sword Servant usually had to endure such injuries on their own, as there were no Healing Pill in this world.

But now she believed that Chen Wang had many amazing abilities, so she asked him for help.

Chen Wang said with a smile, "She's so hostile towards me, why should I treat her injuries?"

Hong Xiu said, "Actually, Qiu Yue's talent is even higher than mine. She also wants to learn this kind of Cultivation Method. She has some misunderstandings about you."

Chen Wang laughed heartily.

He beckoned to Hong Xiu, and Hong Xiu came to stand in front of him.

Chen Wang gazed at Hong Xiu's face; it was truly a beautiful face, naturally possessing a captivating charm.

"I think... she's right. Do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

Hong Xiu lightly bit her lip.

That guy is such a jerk!

"Let's forget about it," Hong Xiu said.

Chen Wang laughed and said, "Her attribute is even more special than yours. She is ice-attribute, while you are water-attribute. Today, the power you left behind in her meridians can be used to stimulate her own power."

"It's alright. Tomorrow I'll teach her another sword technique to neutralize her Phoenix Sword Qi. Her cultivation speed won't be slower than yours."

Hong Xiu was pleasantly surprised.

"Really? That's great!"

Chen Wang said, "It wouldn't have been this troublesome, but you secretly taught her the Azure Origin Sword Art that you learned, and she messed it up while practicing it."

Hong Xiu was immediately startled, thinking to herself, "How does he even know this!"

"I just wanted to talk to her."

Chen Wang raised his hand and hooked Hong Xiu's chin.

Hong Xiu's body was tense.

Chen Wang was a bit taller than her, and from this angle, he could see Hong Xiu's charming and affectionate eyes.

"Qiu Yue is still a bit naive, but I see a hint of ambition in your eyes. You're not content to be just a maid in the Feng Family for the rest of your life, are you?"

Hong Xiu's eyes showed some panic, and she quickly said, "How could that be? The patriarch has been very good to me, and I will be loyal to the Feng Family for the rest of my life."

Chen Wang said with a smile, "Because of your humble origins, you can only remain an unknown Sword Servant in the Feng Family for your entire life. I know you are not content with this."

Hong Xiu's heart skipped a beat, then she sighed softly.

Even if you're unwilling, what can you do?

Chen Wang laughed and said, "You're very bold. You even dared to practice the Cultivation Method I taught you. That's great. You seized the opportunity."

His hand slid down Hong Xiu's neck, and Hong Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, Chen Wang did not use any Dual Cultivation techniques at this time. It was just that the buffs Chen Wang had accumulated in her mind were already full, and the impression from last time was too deep.

Her breathing became rapid and shallow, and she whispered, "No... don't..."

Chen Wang said, "I was thinking about something just now, but you interrupted me. I'm very angry now."

Hong Xiu looked somewhat bewildered.
