'For now, I will follow your orders. But remember this, Ruan Xiaoyue! Once my divine dragon bloodline is purified and awakened, I will surely take my revenge! I cannot accept being humiliated by you twice! As a descendant of the dragon, I cannot accept this defeat! Just watch! In the future, I will humiliate you, and I will make you follow my orders!'

“Why are you quiet, Linglu? Does your wound still hurt? Since we're home, come with me. Let me help you treat your injury.”

“O-oh, no, master! There's no need to treat me! Since I am a descendant of the dragon race, this wound will heal faster, master!”

“Are you sure? Didn’t you say earlier that your bones were crushed?”

“Of course, master! If you're still worried about me, you can just give me some fruit to eat, master! The fight earlier made me hungry again, master!”

“Okay, but since the fruit was all eaten during breakfast, you can pick some from the backyard. RuanRuan, come with me, and let me treat your wounds.”

“No need, master, this wound doesn't hurt much. If possible, just give RuanRuan some fruit like this demon requested, master.”

“Alright, but since both of you are injured, should I go pick the fruit from the backyard myself?”

“No, master! Let Xianxiu go pick the fruit. It's not proper for you to do such a trivial thing!”

“You don't need to go, junior sister. Let the demon go pick the fruit herself.”

“What! Why do I have to go pick the fruit alone! Don’t we both need it! I refuse to be ordered around!”

“Huh? What happened to your promise to follow my words? Do we need to fight again? Besides, the fruit ran out because you ate the most during breakfast!”

“Guh! Fine, fine, I’ll go get it myself. Satisfied?”

'Just you wait, Ruan Xiaoyue! You belittled me again by ordering me to do something as trivial as picking fruit in front of our master! We are irreconcilable! Just watch, after I defeat you, the first thing I’ll do is order you to pick fruit for me! Hahaha! I can't wait to see you humiliated when I command you to do something so menial!'

After being humiliated by Ruan Xiaoyue for sending her to pick fruit in the backyard alone, Long Linglu left in a huff to follow the order. It didn't take long for her to return with a lot of fruit and share it with Ruan Xiaoyue.

“Here’s the fruit, take it!”

“You’re only giving me one? You brought so much fruit. Give me a few more; don’t be greedy!”

“Don’t take mine! I already gave you one! Don’t be greedy and take what's mine!”

“You shameless creature! You’re the greedy one! You picked so many of our master’s fruits and won’t even share!”

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

“I gave you one! You should be grateful that I’m even giving you any after you dared to order a descendant of the divine dragon to pick fruit!”

“Damn it! You really are—”

“Stop fighting, both of you! Our master is still here, and you have the nerve to argue! Aren’t you ashamed of bickering every day over trivial things?”

“Silence, weakling, don’t interfere in our matters! You have no right to interrupt our conversation!”

“Damn dragon! I was trying to stop your argument so our master wouldn't be upset, but you insulted me instead! I’ve had enough of you belittling me! Let’s fight! I’ll make you suffer, just like how senior sister humiliated you!”

“You! Fine! I accept your challenge! I won’t stand for you bringing up my defeat! Just wait! I’ll make you cry and beg for mercy!”

“Don’t be afraid of her words, junior sister! Defeat her and make sure she never dares to look down on you again! I’m backing you up!”

“That’s enough, all three of you, stop fighting! And RuanRuan, finish your food quickly. I have new training prepared for you and Xianxiu.”

“New training! Wait a moment, master! RuanRuan will finish this fruit quickly!”

'Master is giving that monster new training? If that's the case, won't she become even stronger? I haven't even purified my bloodline yet! If that monster gets stronger, I won’t be able to take my revenge! I need to follow and see what kind of training master is giving her so I can figure out the secret to her power!'

“Master! May I join you when you train these two?”

“You want to come? ...Sure, you can watch them train.”

“Thank you, master!”

__________

“Hngg!”

“Ugh!”

‘Wow! The training master is giving them is incredible! Is this the secret to the monster’s strength? Watching her carry that massive stone on her back while the weak one uses some mysterious technique is amazing! I wish I could experience the gravity technique the weak one is using, but for now, I can only watch.'

Long Linglu, standing next to her master who was sitting a bit further away from the training area, was amazed by what she saw. She watched as Ruan Xiaoyue, lying flat, performed push-ups while carrying a massive stone on her back. Meanwhile, the weak one, Luo Xianxiu, sat on the stone, using a gravity area technique that made everything within the area incredibly heavy.

“Hngg! Haa, haa... haa… Let’s take a break for a moment, senior sister, I need to rest. Haa... My head hurts, and my qi is almost depleted.”

“Ugh! Haa... haa... Fine, junior sister, I’m also exhausted. My body aches from carrying this weight…”

“Are you both alright? Is the training I gave you too hard?”

“Haa... no, master, haa... we can handle it. The training, haa... you gave us is amazing. RuanRuan can feel the effects...”

“Me too, haa, haa... master, Xianxiu feels her soul, mind, and qi getting stronger, master!”

“As long as you’re not pushing yourselves too hard, then it’s fine. That’s why I’m cheering you on to finish 1000 push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and running 100 km in place every day. And Xianxiu, continue to assist RuanRuan with the weight and your gravity technique while she trains. Haha—uhum, don’t worry, if anything dangerous happens, I’ll help. So keep up the hard work!”

“Yes, master!” “Yes, master!”

"Master will train those two until they finish? It looks like today they’re resting more than training. I wonder if they’ll actually complete it."

‘I just want to confirm from master so I can make sure that monster doesn’t grow stronger too quickly. Even though I’m not training, I know the training master gives is effective. I just don’t want my revenge to take longer because that monster gets stronger!’

“…Don’t worry, Linglu, both of them will complete their training. They are students I personally chose for their talent and extraordinary physiques.”

‘Woah! Master looks so cool when she turns her head to the sky like that. And when she turned back to answer me, her expression was like that of an immortal who knows everything. Master is so cool!’

‘Still, master’s words are bad news for me. But it’s not certain yet! I’ll have to see if the monster really completes the training. If she does, I’ll need to quickly find a way to purify my bloodline so I don’t fall behind her!’

Unfortunately, her master’s words came true. As Long Linglu watched the monster and the weak one finish their training just before midnight, her face filled with frustration, unaware that her master’s expression beside her had darkened as well.
