Chapter 898 - Understanding the Nameless Technique

Sometime later, Yuan returned to his room while the others returned to their own training.

Li Jinxi woke up the following morning with an incredible headache and feeling like she'd been hit by a truck recently.

'Am I… still alive…?" She mumbled in a dazed voice.

It wasn't clear to her at first, but her memories of yesterday's training eventually resurfaced.

'Ahh… He was really ruthless yesterday… I have never been beaten like that… ever…'

A slight smile appeared on her face without her awareness.

*Knock* *Knock*

"It's me. Are you awake?" Yuan's voice suddenly resounded.

"Yes, come inside."

Yuan entered the room the next moment.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her.

Li Jinxi turned to look at Yuan and said with a bittersweet smile, "My body hurts like hell…"

"I might have gone too far for your first session. Sorry."

"No, I needed that. I have never suffered such a defeat before. It really opened my eyes."

"Do you wish to continue?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"Of course." Li Jinxi immediately responded without any hesitation in her voice.

"You'll wake up everyday like this, you know?"

"As long as I can become stronger."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yuan asked, "Why are you so desperate to acquire strength?"

"You might not believe me, but I really don't have any motivation— at least I didn't until very recently. I enjoy fighting and improving myself. It's as simple as that." She calmly responded.

"I see… Then what is your motivation now? You have one now, right?"

Li Jinxi did not immediately answer.

She slowly got off the bed and stood on her feet despite the pain coursing through her body.

She then walked to stand in front of Yuan.

"You're my motivation now. I want to defeat you."

Yuan smiled and said, "It's not going to be easy."

"I know, but I won't stop training until I defeat you… no matter how long it'll take."

And she continued, "Go wait for me in the training area. I will be there in a bit."

"You want to train with your body like that? That's reckless."

"I can handle it," she said.

However, Yuan shook his head and said, "Go soak in some medicine first. I'll meet you in the training area in a few hours."

"Okay…"

"I'm not sure, but it'll probably be for a while. You don't have to clean her if you don't want to. I can do it by myself. You're probably better off using this time to train yourself, after all." Yuan responded from outside the bathroom. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Meixiu sighed, "You've really changed, Yuan."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Not long ago, you didn't even know the difference between a man and a woman. Now look at you. You're a competent teacher who has trained even an entire family of demon sealers."

"Your demeanor has also changed. It pained me to even look at you before because you were always depressed, but you're now brimming with confidence."

"If Yu Rou could see you now, I doubt she would even recognize you."

"Yu Rou, huh… Meixiu, this might be a weird question, but who do you prefer? The old me or the new me?" Yuan faced her with a serious look on his face.

"That's not a fair question, Yuan. It puts me in an awkward position. It's not a question that I can answer. However, if I have to be honest, I like how we can talk with each other while being on the same page, something that was not really possible back then. For example, the words 'I love you' would have a different meaning if I said it to the old you and the current you. Do you understand?"

Yuan chuckled, "Yes, I understand. I am well aware of how naive I was back then, and I'm sorry for all of the inconveniences it caused you."

Meixiu shook her head while blushing.

"Anyways, are you free now?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Besides training, I don't have anything else—"

Before she could even finish her sentence, Yuan picked her up and carried her like a princess.

"Y-Yuan?!"

"I want to thank you properly for helping me today. Let's go to your room." Yuan smiled.

"O-Okay…" Meixiu immediately understood the meaning behind his words and nodded in a bashful manner.
