Chapter 745: I Don't Want to Be a Dog, I Want to Be Human (Second Update)
Who knows how long has passed.
Maybe an hour later, maybe an hour and a half.
In any case, Dongfang Yi had pushed to his limit, even meditation couldn’t help him forget the exhaustion of his body. His legs buckled unconsciously, just as he was about to stop training, and his chin suddenly bumped against something hard.
Dongfang Yi opened his eyes in surprise, only to see a steel man squatting in front of him in the pond, holding a silver long sword, the hilt submerged in the water, the sword tip pressing against his chin.
Dongfang Yi dared not move.
Even turning his head would cause injury.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a pale figure standing on the shore, about to cry but begging for mercy: “Master, I really can’t take it anymore.” Ever since Xu Xingguang had voluntarily taught him ancient martial arts, Dongfang Yi had started calling him Master, regardless of whether Xu Xingguang agreed or not.
Initially, Xu Xingguang naturally did not agree, but couldn’t resist Dongfang Yi’s persistence, so she accepted it.
Looking at Dongfang Yi’s legs trembling uncontrollably, Xu Xingguang said, “Hold on for three more minutes.”
Dongfang Yi shivered, gritting his teeth, forced to endure for three minutes under the threat of the Starlight Sword.
When Eagle Sparrow withdrew the sword tip, Dongfang Yi went limp like a puddle of water, sitting down in the pond on the spot. He leaned against the moss-covered rock, looking at Xu Xingguang who was standing on the shore, arms crossed, sneering at him.
“Master.” Dongfang Yi frowned and asked her, “What have you been doing these past ten days?” He didn’t dare to directly ask Xu Xingguang if she had been out killing people.
Because there was a murderous aura around her, honed from Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.
“I went to Bai Ze Island.” Xu Xingguang turned and left, “Go change your clothes and come with me to the herb field.”
Today was a day off, Dongfang Yi’s school was on holiday.
Dongfang Yi went back to Wuyuan Town to change into clean clothes, sucked down a packet of nutrient, grabbed three apples, and headed to the herb field. During the ten days Xu Xingguang was absent, Dongfang Yi went to the herb field every day to catch bugs and weed, leaving a good impression on Elder Tan Nan.
“Granny Nan.” Dongfang Yi gave Elder Tan Nan an apple, smiling as he said, “My master is back.”
Elder Tan Nan took a bite of the apple, pointed to the direction of the herb field’s entrance, “Go on in.” She squinted at Dongfang Yi’s retreating figure, feeling a bit sentimental about the young man’s background.
Dongfang Yi gave the biggest apple to Xu Xingguang, “Master, you rest, I’ll remove the weeds.” He energetically ran into the herb field, dragging the heavy shackles on his feet as he walked through the herbs.
Xu Xingguang looked at the shackles on his feet and suddenly asked, “Dongfang Ying, do you know her?”
Upon hearing this name, Dongfang Yi’s busy figure paused.
He turned back to look at Xu Xingguang, who was standing on the ridge in the field, and asked thoughtfully, “Master, did you meet her on Bai Ze Island?”
“What is she to you?”
Dongfang Yi didn’t dare lie, and truthfully replied, “She’s considered my paternal aunt, known my father since childhood. From what my father told me, she’s a traitor of the Dongfang Family, a leader among the convicts on Bai Ze Island.”
Mentioning the convicts on Bai Ze Island made Dongfang Yi somewhat hesitant, “Master, did my aunt do something to offend you?” He was afraid Dongfang Ying had provoked Xu Xingguang.
Shaking her head, Xu Xingguang said, “Your aunt is quite good.”
Obviously, Xu Xingguang had a good impression of his aunt, which surprised Dongfang Yi. “Have you met?”
“Yes.” Xu Xingguang said abruptly, “She’s now my subordinate.”
!
Dongfang Yi was shocked, his eyes wide open.
The Bai Ze Island incident had spread throughout the Divine Martial Realm. Dongfang Yi loved surfing the Internet, and just a couple of days ago, he witnessed the masked woman threatening the Three Great Alliances to pay ransom in exchange for convicts.
Staring at Xu Xingguang’s figure, Dongfang Yi increasingly felt she resembled the masked goddess.
A heart-pounding thought grew wildly within Dongfang Yi. “Master, is the mysterious masked woman who captured the convicts on Bai Ze Island and went live threatening the Three Great Alliances, you?”
Dongfang Yi was no longer questioning; he actually had an answer in his heart.
Xu Xingguang casually nodded, “Yes.”
Dongfang Yi gazed at Xu Xingguang, seemingly dumbfounded.
This was indeed news that could shock his entire family.
“They say there are no more convicts on Bai Ze Island, it has become Bai Ze Realm, and the new leadership of Bai Ze Realm will build it into the Fourth Alliance of the Divine Martial Realm. Master, are you the new leader of Bai Ze Realm?”
Dongfang Yi asked hesitantly, cautiously.
“No.” Xu Xingguang denied straightforwardly.
Dongfang Yi’s wildly beating heart was about to calm down, when he heard Xu Xingguang say, “It’s my man.”
