Chapter 7 – Refinement (2/2)

“That’s not right!” Ye Wei scolded.

As Ye Wei’s voice faded, the half finished rune imploded.

It had failed!

Zi Yan was slightly disappointed but did not give up: “Let’s continue!”

Ye Wei repeated the process a few more times, drawing in the air as Zi Yan followed. None of their attempts were successful, though, and they took a toll on Zi Yan’s primal energy reserve. After several attempts, she was left panting and gasping for air.

“Miss Zi Yan, how about just letting it go for now? We can do this some other time, maybe?” Ye Wei said with a bitter smile. He then looked at Zi Yan, and because she had sweat a lot during the attempts to refining the stance, her dress glued to her body, revealing her pale and flawless skin. Ye Wei lingered for a bit too long and started to have inappropriate thoughts and knew he needed to stop his mind from wandering. He blushed and turned his head around.

“No!” Zi Yan shook her head with determination; she needed to refine this stance while she had the chance! For her family, for her grandad!

Zi Yan reached into her pocket and found a white pill. She quickly swallowed it and sat down in a lotus position, restoring her primal energy and Qi.

Ye Wei was speechless. That was a Primal Spirit pill… one of the most valuable medicinal pills that most Warriors couldn’t even afford.

In a lotus position, Zi Yan was completely focused on restoring her energy while Ye Wei just stood there, as he had nothing to do. He cast his eyes down onto her. Zi Yan’s slightly curled lashes, her delicate nose, pastel pink lips… Her features were exquisitely beautiful… Framed by her silky shoulder length hair, she resembled a goddess from the classic sculptures.

Ye Wei’s eyes followed her slender neck downwards and his heart raced as his eyes stopped below her neckline. He could see her slightly raised breasts, not large but perky, forming magnificent cleavage between them, and her light toned skin was flushed, making her that much more alluring for Ye Wei.

Ye Wei being the teenager he was and alone in the same room with the most popular girl in school was an incredible feat and a rare occasion; his impulses were taking over his body!

“What am I thinking!” Ye Wei shook his head vigorously, trying to rid himself of the impure thoughts. He took a very deep breath and forced himself to look up at the roof. But the thought of Zi Yan’s beauty, her body, forced his head back down, and he couldn’t help but take this chance to look at her again.

Moments after, Zi Yan opened her eyes. With the aid of one Primal Spirit pill, Zi Yan restored all of her energy in a matter of minutes.

She raised her head, and when she was about to say something, her and Ye Wei’s eyes crossed. Judging by how red his face was, Zi Yan realised her posture exposed a lot of skin.: “Ah!” she exclaimed. hHer shy face was colored red due to her blushing cheeks. She immediately stood up, not letting Ye Wei see her like that a second longer.

“I…” Ye Wei was embarrassed. He tried to apologise but choked up instead.

Zi Yan adjusted her breathing and eventually calmed down. She was embarrassed, too, but she let it pass without saying a word. ‘At least Ye Wei knew that it was a bit inappropriate,’ she thought. Ye Wei was a lot more honest and less aggressive compared to her other hormone driven admirers.

“Let’s continue!” Zi Yan was determined to perfect the Triple Tidal Palm. effect

“Yea!” Looking at how undaunted Zi Yan appeared to be, Ye was affected by her vibe. Although Ye Wei didn’t know why she was being so stubborn, he decided to help her fulfil her wish.

Ye Wei continued guiding Zi Yan, but the team had many more failures, because Zi Yan, herself, was relatively new to performing stances, let alone mastering and perfecting the Triple Tidal Palm.

“Let’s try again. You can come closer, it’s okay!” Zi Yan lightly bit her lower lip, turned around and told Ye Wei in a soft tone.

“How much closer?” Ye Wei carefully took a half step forward, which brought his body just a hair away from Zi Yan’s back; he could clearly feel the warmth from her body rising towards his face.

Zi Yan’s fragrance lingered around Ye’s nose and his heart started racing again, but he was focused on the task at hand. ‘Zi Yan was about to make a mistake!’ he thought. His hand reacted quicker than any sound he could make to warn Zi Yan. With lightning, speed, he grabbed a hold of her delicate hand and saved the rune. The texture of Zi Yan’s skin was so soft and smooth, comforting Ye Wei as he continued guiding her.

Feeling the warmth from Ye Wei’s hand, Zi Yan’s face warmed up a little, but it took no time for her to regain focus and steadily release primal energy, flawlessly completing rune after rune.
