BoW: Martial World c29

After the banquet, the trio returned to their house. The house had finished self-building, and it was time for the True Essence to gather in the centre of the room.

Meanwhile, Lan Yunyue was cultivating the whole time; sadly for the girl, she noticed a considerable drop in progress.

Or at least she thinks that's how it is, as she wants Xiao Tian Long to be close to her.

It was different from Zhu Yan. With him, she felt like walking on thin ice. But now, with her new Master, she could feel she could be more herself.

Still, she waited for his return.

“I hope you didn’t find it boring to stay like this, " he said to her as he returned with the pair of girls. Qin Xingxuan and Lin Fengyuan were still dressed in their dresses.

As they went with him immediately after the party.

“No, I barely noticed that you were away.” Lan Yunyue shook her head. 

“Good. Now that you are here, we have time for me to show you three the new stuff.

As he said that, he began to pull things out—furniture from his ‘Spatial Ring’—including a wardrobe, vanity table, and other bedroom items.

“Check the inside of that wardrobe.” He motioned for them to check inside.

What they saw were clothes. 

“This here is what my maid will wear.” He pulled out a black and white uniform. 

“...oh…” It was strange as it was a bit frilly, but apart from that, it was unique.

“...and these?” Qin Xingxuan showed him… lingerie she pulled from a drawer.

“Your undergarments~~~.” He teased, making her double-take to understand what she was looking at.

After inspecting them for a bit, she realised how they worked, and then the girl began to blush—the material was far too thin!

“Umm… isn’t it a bit too fragile?” Qin Xingxuan didn’t know how to feel about this thin fabric…

“What does the difference make? You coat these clothes with your Qi anyway.” He shrugged. “Thin and comfortable is what you should be looking for.

As the Mashal’s granddaughter was struggling with the new material and how… visible-ish their new clothes were, the other two sprang into action.

“What kind of clothes do you wish for me to wear?” Lin Fengyuan asked him.

“Hmm, let me see.” Xiao Tian Long pulled out stockings, undies and the rest of the clothes for her.

When the Lin girl saw her new clothes, she wondered how they worked… as they were strange.

“Well~~ follow me.” He made her take clothes as he took her to another room. 

Qin Xingxuan looked at the undies and then at the other clothes in the wardrobe. Some of them looked a bit indecent in her opinion.

A couple of minutes later, Lin Fengyuan returned. She was wearing stockings that went from toes to thighs, followed by shorts and a hoodie. 

“These are great! It is far easier to move than I expected.” She nodded after moving a bit in the room.

“I want you to choose for me as well.” Qin Xingxuan said after seeing him happy about these clothes on the Lin girl.

“Sure~~~” Xiao Tian Long already had an idea of what he wanted her to wear.

He pulled out a couple of clothes before pulling her aside. 

Qin Xingxuan blushed for a bit as he undressed her before showing her how to wear the clothes he had offered.

She got blue jeans, which highlighted her bum and legs. He wore a similar hoodie for the top. 

“Put this on.” He pulled the hood that had cat ears. 

“Gorgeous and cute~.” Xiao Tian Long commented as he took a couple of steps back.

The Princess of the Qin family looked at herself in the mirror.

The clothes were strange, but she liked the material, and unlike robes or dresses, she didn’t need to worry about revealing stuff… so it’s convenient…

But…

“What about the ears on the clothes?” She asked about the important part.

“These are cat ears. It gives you that cuteness factor.” He sagely nodded with crossed arms. 

“...I see…” Even if he said it like that, it made no sense to her…

“Regardless, let me show you your sleeping clothes next~~~” Xiao Tian Long teased her. The girl in question began to question such a thing! With their cultivation constantly increasing, sleeping is becoming something of an afterthought…

However, she knows that it's more about the naughty stuff that makes her sleep afterwards from exhaustion.

Does that mean the sleeping clothes… are naughty?

Sure enough, as they were back in the bedroom, Xiao Tian Long pulled out a see-through lingerie, with only certain areas hidden. The rest… well…

“S-Such indecent clothes!” Qin Xingxuan exclaimed! She might become more open about her affection towards her man… but this!

Lin Fengyuan and Lan Yunyue also saw them. They blushed when thinking about wearing such clothes!

“They are for sleeping, you know. You are not supposed to be wearing them outside.” He rolled his eyes at their reaction; it was cute.

“S-Still…”

“Regardless, Yue’er, it's your turn.” Xiao Tian Long grabbed the maid's clothes and selected undies for her. The girl with a smile followed after him. 

A couple of moments later, she was out, dressed in a black-and-white uniform. He helped her with her hair as well. The girl looked like a prim and proper maid now. 

Just from wearing it, she was radiating discipline.

“Simply gorgeous.” He nodded to himself after seeing her like this.

“Thank you, Master,” Lan Yunyue replied, feeling flustered. Although she had only been with him for a few days, she received more compliments than she had in several years.

“Now that clothes are out of the picture, we should return to our training, " he told the trio.

The girls perked up. They quickly commented. 

“This time we're all going to practise together.” Qin Xingxuan needed to test her theory. She wants to see if she practises with Xiao Tian Long, whether it's faster or not!

“Sure, then let’s start.” He nodded before looking at them.

“Yuan’er, you have refined your True Essence; now you should focus on understanding Flow Like Silk and Primal Chaos Formula to circulate your Qi.” He instructed the girl as she nodded, understanding what he was talking about.

“Same with you, Yue’er, you already refined your energy.” 

Lin Fengyuan looked at the maid. For a second, she pouted internally. She started earlier than this girl! But here she was…

‘Wasn’t she the same as Lin Meng?’ the Lin girl recalled seeing this girl with her younger cousin back in Green Mulberry City. Wasn’t she third-grade Martial Talent?

I think that Xiao Tian Long can make even this girl keep up with a four-grade talent.

“I want to study this as well! I've been stuck at the first layer for a while. I can assume it's because I don’t understand the Flow Like Silk method.” Qin Xingxuan joined them as she will be the third student.

“Alright.” He nodded as he began to explain the micro world.

From how everyone is made, from small pieces to vibration and the flow of energy in the form of strands.

“Instead of focusing on making your Qi flow like a river, make it flow like a small stream.”

“Use your Soul Force to sense this,” Xiao Tian Long instructed. She got closer and showed them how his energy was flowing.

Sure enough, he sensed that Qin Xingxuan's aura surged as she just broke through to the first layer of Primal Chaos Formula.

The girl smiled beautifully as she got up from the platform and jumped into his hands.

“Amazing, you are even a great teacher!” The girl kissed him for a bit before snuggling into his hands.

The other two girls looked annoyed for a second. So this was the fabled Sixth Grade Talent…, and this girl picked up the whole thing quickly.

“Great, now practise this. By using Flow Like Silk.” He offered her a jade slip. It was a punch based on vibrations.

“But I only have some idea how to stimulate the Qi in such a way…” 

“You have to move all of those small pieces at the same time in the same way.” As Xiao Tian Long mentioned, he realised that this could be applied to the concept of cut! 

To sharpen the weapons and the ability to cut!

‘Holy shit.’

“Oh…so that's how it is… I got it!” She nodded several times before sitting down and once again returned to practice.

The other girl tried to follow suit. Xiao Tian Long focused on them even more, guiding them on how to improve their understanding.

The first one was Lin Fengyuan, who learned it next. She understood the flow of energy and then focused on Flow Like Silk.

The last one was Lan Yunyue, who struggled further, to the point that they needed to take a break… same break where Xiao Tian Long began to ‘teach’ her.

The pair of girls looked as he took Lan Yunyue away.

“I do believe… we should pretend to be less capable,” Lin Fengyuan commented as she saw the maid's happy smile. 

Yes, it would seem this particular guy doesn’t care about what Martial Talent is. 

Instead of replying, Qin Xingxuan pulled her hoodie over her head. She was annoyed but agreed with what her sister said.

It would seem that they should act like they have no idea how to progress, which would lead to a steamy situation.

Sure enough, with Xiao Tian Long away, their cultivation speed slowed down. Or at least they think it's like that, as without him around, they are less excited.

Regardless, around 4 hours later, he returned with Lan Yunyue. The maid had rosy cheeks. She focused more now…

And not long after, she grasped the Primal Chaos Theory and later Flow Like Silk.

‘Just like that!’ Qin Xingxuan had no idea how to process this!

Does all it takes is a steamy night and… BAM, one could grasp Martial Arts like this!?

“How did she learn all that? Doesn’t mind turn off in the middle of that act?” Lin Fengyuan whispered to Qin Xingxuan.

“I have no idea," The girl whispered back. They were at a loss. If it truly helps, then they will do it. They have no reason not to. They already did it with him, and they are considered his women anyway.

However, what they struggle with is how Martial Arts is being pursued.

It’s strange to them.

After a while, the girls once again lined up before Xiao Tian Long.

“Good. Now that you all have understood the Flow like Silk and grasped the Primal Chaos Formula, we can return to fundamental training," He said to the gathered girls.

“I am close to grasping the first layer of Primal Chaos Theory. Shouldn’t we train that first before switching to basic cultivation?” Lin Fengyuan chipped in.

“If you are close to understanding it, you can continue.”

“Same for me.” Lan Yunyue added. She was close to understanding this. Xiao Tian Long helped her comprehend, and now she is close to that breakthrough.

“And you, Xuan’er?” He asked his first girl.

“I am close to reaching the Bone Forging stage. Why don’t you help with that?” Qin Xingxuan asked him as there was a beautiful smile on her lips.

She is still some distance away from Bone Forging, but she wants to test! The girl wants to know if Xiao Tian Long could make the impossible possible.

Slash her cultivation by a bunch of days! If this is true, then… by all means, her man is something else! She is certain that anyone and everyone would want him!

“Sure. We can practise. I am thinking of reaching the Altering Muscle Stage, too.” He stroked his chin.

Lin Fengyuan and Lan Yunyue looked at his nonchalant remark. It sounded crazy to them. He had just discussed how to skip months, if not years' worth of progress, in just a few days.

“Okay! Then let’s go!” He motioned for his girl to follow him.

Qin Xingxuan nodded and followed him to his sword training area.
