10 Mental damage (1/2)
In one chair was an old lady sewing a coat that was so small it had to be for a very young child. Next to her on the carpet was a boy of about five or six and on the other side a girl younger than him.
”Grandma, are you going to make a coat like that for me too?” The boy asked his lovely grandmother.
”No, my dear. Yours will be blue, not pink.” That sweet lady loved her grandchildren and cared for them with great affection.
As the two younger children watched their grandmother sew near the fireplace, the oldest granddaughter already about fifteen watched the full moon illuminating the sky of that cold night from the window of the cabin in the woods.
”Knock knock.” that young girl at the window heard sounds of someone knocking on the door.
But who knocked on the door of a cabin in the woods at this time of night? It couldn't be a good thing.
”Wait!” The older sister screamed, but it was no good because the boy had already opened the door.
”Roarrrr!!!” A terrible giant humanoid wolf growled fiercely and grabbed the boy, and went out the door.
”Ahhhh!!!” Everyone in the cabin screamed in fright. The young girl has never been so afraid of her life. She was in shock from dread.
”AHHHH!!!!!!” Then a claw broke the window and caught her shoulder, giving her an even bigger scare than anyone else.
”Sister! What's your problem?” Xun Feng asked Xun Lan as she looked at a rabbit that had just emerged from the bushes. He could not believe that his sister, one of the most talented young Cultivators in town, was now afraid of a rabbit.
”Feng, I'm sorry I got carried away by my thoughts.” Xun Lan apologized for imagining that behind those bushes would be the 'beast' she had heard in stories to scare children into the childhood of a maid of her family.
How if the 'beast' that Nero invented would be the same as in the classic history of the grandma and her little grandsons in the cabin in the woods? Perhaps since both were inventions of a wicked mind.
”You agreed to hunt this 'beast' so quickly before. Why are you now full of fears?” Xun Feng didn't want to think that his tough sister would fall in love so quickly, but he couldn't be more right.
”I didn't think straight then. If this 'beast' killed Nero's grandfather, who was stronger than him so easily, what will about us if we find it?”
Xun Lan had no idea of Nero's strength, but as she was already in love and considered him her man, he had to be the strongest of them all. If her man was the strongest, his grandfather had to be even stronger. But what about the beast that killed him then?
”Fucking passionate girls!!! To hell, with fucking love!” Xun Feng had many such thoughts, but he would not speak out loud because everyone knows what is good for them.

Dai Zhi was running through the forest eager with his henchmen looking for the 'beast.'
”This beast can't run from me. Nothing gets in my way! He will be mine, and that cow Xun Lan will only be able to cry.” Dai Zhi spoke in a loud tone as she ran. Now it was Dai Wen's turn to make Xun Lan's classic dead fish look.
”Shooo!” A strong wind passed right in front of Dai Zhi and her group. When she looked to the side, she saw Elder Xiong's assistant passing her. Dai Zhi stopped in contemplation of what to do.
”Go after assistant or 'beast'?” It was a tough decision for Dai Zhi.
”Why aren't we going to get him?” Dai Wen asked quickly full of wishes to catch the assistant and be chosen with Dai Zhi to go to the Black Sword Sect.
”But what about the beast...” Dai Zhi spoke in a soft tone as she knew to ignore the assistant was wrong.
”Huhh???” Zhu Tai, the Elder Xiong's assistant, almost fell when even away heard the Dai Zhi's reply. ”Is she ignoring me to hunt a beast? What kind of beast is better than joining the Black Sword Sect?” Zhu Tai can't help but stop and look back, still afraid of being a trap.
So the scene was Dai Wen and the henchmen looking confused at an even more confused Zhu Tai while Dai Zhi blushed.
”BLUSHED??? My fucking god, why is she blushing now?!?!?” Thought them all confused except Dai Zhi, who, thinking about what would be best to hunt, eventually imagined the 'reward' that Nero would give her if she returned with the beast's body as a gift for him.
”Fucking passionate girls!!!” Would have said Xun Wen if he were here.

While girls wreaked havoc on the minds of the boys in the woods, the cause of all this headache walked quietly with his jealous spirit-form wife looking for the damn fucking assistant.
”Ahem, do you already know about him?” Sarah falsely coughed and asked in her usual calm tone.
”The man in the tree? Yes, I can smell him.” Nero answered honestly. It was a reasonable distance away that he could smell a man on a tree far away from him.
”To smell? It looks like smell and speed are your best attributes...” Even with all of Sarah's knowledge, she did not fully understand Nero's body. But watching him every day, she was beginning to understand more and more.
”I feel like I can never use my speed to maximum. Whenever I'm close to my limit, I start to lose control as if my mind can't process all the speed my body can handle.” Nero had already tried to check the limits of his body and managed with almost everything, but speed was still a mystery to him as he starts to get dizzy when he passed a certain speedrunning.
”You have not had similar opponents in strength or speed so far. So it is normal for you not to have a full understanding of your limits, which prevents you from perfecting yourself in certain parts.” Sometimes Sarah talked like a severe teacher. Anyway, Nero always listened carefully to everything she said.
