Chapter 22 The Witchcraft Boy 21

After dinner, Xu Qiuqiu's room soon became lively as her other fifteen senior sisters came to catch up with her, and they left one by one reluctantly as night fell.

Fortunately, she has Xu Xiaoqiu's memories, otherwise she would probably have a headache just from remembering her name.

After the room finally quieted down, Xu Qiuqiu focused on reading.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Qiuqiu was dragged out of bed by Yun Yulu.

Xu Qiuqiu rubbed her eyes and squinted at the sky. The sun hadn't risen yet. "Senior sister, so early."

"It's getting late. Aren't you supposed to be practicing martial arts? This is to train your will. Quickly wash up and change into some comfortable clothes, then come find me in the courtyard. Don't be lazy, or your senior sister will punish you." Yun Yulu threatened, holding a whip.

Unexpectedly, her usually unserious senior sister could be quite intimidating when she got serious, so she could only obediently nod and say, "I understand, senior sister."

Yun Yulu left satisfied with her obedient appearance.

After she finished washing up and changing her clothes, she went to the open space in the courtyard. Yun Yulu sat on a stone bench to the side, and breakfast was placed on the stone table.

Yun Yulu looked at her lazily, "So long?"

Xu Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, senior sister."

"It's alright, sit down and have some breakfast first, so you won't be too tired later." Yun Yulu waved to her.

Xu Qiuqiu sat down as instructed.

After watching Xu Qiuqiu finish eating, Yun Yulu said, "Little Qiu'er, practice horse stance for half an hour first. Go ahead, I'll supervise you personally."

"Huh?" Xu Qiuqiu was stunned, but she still did as she was told.

Yun Yulu walked to her side and helped her adjust her position. "Little Qiu'er, the horse stance is just to build a foundation for you. You need to get used to it. You'll need to do it for half an hour every day from now on."

Xu Qiuqiu felt it was alright; half an hour was still within her tolerance range.

However, she soon realized she was wrong. Her previous body might have been fine, but Xu Xiaoqiu had never done anything like that before. Before long, she felt sore all over and wanted to move around.

She barely made it through an hour, and then she had to do all sorts of physical training exercises and leg stretches. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

She knows a little bit of all of these; she used to stretch her legs a lot when she practiced dancing. It's just that she hasn't done it before with this body, so it started to hurt a lot.

She hadn't rested except for mealtimes. After finally getting through the day, she didn't want to get out of bed as soon as she touched it, because all her muscles ached.

She doesn't want to move at all now; even raising her hand feels tiring.

The second day was the same as the first day, except that when she returned to her room that night, she felt less sore than on the first day. Could it be that her body was gradually adapting?

On the third day, after she finished practicing her horse stance, Yun Yulu walked up to her and said, "Today I'll teach you some basic moves. Follow along with me and learn them once."

After saying that, he started to move in front of her. Xu Qiuqiu watched from the spot. She had to admit that the martial arts moves of the Hehuan Sect were like dancing. Although they looked light and soft, the power of a single palm strike was not small.

After finishing her move, Yun Yulu asked her, "Did you remember it?"

Xu Qiuqiu nodded. She had an excellent memory and, recalling her earlier movements, imitated them perfectly.

Yun Yulu looked at her with admiration, "Little Qiu'er is indeed a natural at martial arts, she adapted so quickly."

Xu Qiuqiu smiled at her, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister's excellent teaching."

But then the charming woman in front of her covered her mouth and laughed, nodding her head, "Little Qiu'er has certainly learned to be witty."

She continued, "These past two days, Master sent a visiting card to the people of the Holy Medicine Valley, but the Valley Master didn't appreciate it at all. It's really laughable that he has such a degenerate son and still has the nerve to look down on our Hehuan Sect."

"Then I spread a rumor that Qi Gunan of the Holy Medicine Valley was a hypocrite who had imprisoned many girls and bought a few girls as victims to make them talk about him in a mysterious way. Isn't the Holy Medicine Valley most concerned about its reputation? I finally got my revenge for them insulting my master."

At this point, Yun Yulu laughed even more happily, "There are already several versions of the story circulating outside. The Holy Healer Valley is just a bunch of old turtles, hiding in their shells and afraid to come out. I told them that if they want to clarify things, they should hand over Qi Gu Nan, otherwise who knows who will be in the next version."

My senior sister was so mean, but I love it! "Senior sister, what did they say?"

Yun Yulu snorted coldly, "A bunch of old stubborns refuse to listen, saying they believe in their young master. For Xiao Qiu'er's sake, even if I have to break in, I will catch Qi Gunan and make him kowtow and apologize to you."

Xu Qiuqiu rushed up and hugged Yun Yulu tightly, "Senior sister, you're so kind!"

Yun Yulu looked disgusted and said, "Ugh, you're all sweaty, don't come any closer." But she didn't push him away.

After a while, Yun Yulu patted her head and said, "Little Qiu'er, practice well on your own today. I'm going to discuss with Master how to deal with those old turtles from the Holy Medicine Valley."

"Okay." Xu Qiuqiu obediently let go of her.

After Yun Yulu left, Xu Qiuqiu continued practicing the moves she had read in the book.

The day passed quickly, and after taking a bath, she lay down on the bed.

[Beep, your martial arts training at the Hehuan Sect is complete.]

"Huh? So fast? I haven't even finished learning yet?" Xu Qiuqiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Host, the mission didn't specify the level of martial arts you should learn, so the system has already marked it as completed," 003 said happily. "Host can finally get some rest."

"Alright, even if the mission is completed, I still want to continue learning this martial art." After all, it's good to learn more self-defense skills. Now, the only thing left to improve is happiness points. Who should I ask to improve them now?

She rolled over in bed, her body pressing down on her hand. She raised her hand, her gaze falling on the silver bracelet on her wrist, and her thoughts immediately turned to that handsome young man.

He asked her gently, "Do you like it?"

I wonder how he is now. He should be back in Saintly Healer Valley by now.

She didn't know if he would blame her for leaving without saying goodbye. She was really scared at the time, which was why she did it.
