Chapter 788 - Do You Want To Do It Now?

"How do you feel?" Yuan asked Meixiu when she woke up on the third day after she collapsed from exhaustion.
"I'm completely fine now. Thank you for taking care of me, and I'm sorry that I kept you from your training sessions. I must have been a burden." Meixiu lowered her head in a shameful manner.
The last time she was even slightly sick was over a decade ago, after all.
"There's no need to apologize. I only took care of you for three short days while you took care of me and my sister for years. If you ask me to continue taking care of you, I would agree, and I wouldn't utter a single complaint."
"What are you going to do now that you've recovered? Continue training?" Chu Liuxiang asked her.
Meixiu looked at Chu Liuxiang and shook her head.
"No, I am going to stay in today. Even though I have recovered, I would like to rest some more."
"That's a good idea. However, I am ready to go back to training. What about you, Yuan? Are you going to resume training?"
Yuan nodded, "Even though I promised the Qi Family that I'd stay for two weeks, things just keep coming up, shortening that time to one week."
Sometime later, Yuan and Chu Liuxiang went to the training area.
"If you need anything, there will be a servant on standby outside." Yuan said to Meixiu before leaving.
Once she was alone, Meixiu returned to her bed, but she didn't go to sleep.
Instead, she got under the blankets and removed her pants and underwear.
"Yuan… You idiot…" Meixiu sighed in a low voice before she started relieving herself.
Meanwhile, when they arrived at the training area, Yuan said to the disciples there, "I apologize for the delay, but I will be resuming my training sessions today."
"For the next two days, we will continue practicing with my killing intent. And for the final few days, we will be sparring with each other just like the first day, but you will also have to endure my killing intent while trying to seal me."
Yuan gave the Qi Family some time to prepare themselves before he took a seat and released his killing intent.
When Qi Man and the other elders heard that Yuan had returned to the training area, they quickly stopped whatever they were doing to participate in the training, as they also benefited greatly from his training.
After three days of break, the Qi Family fully recovered from their fatigue. However, that did not make it any more comfortable for them, as they were still struggling to endure Yuan's killing intent.
At the end of the day, Qi Man approached Yuan and asked him, "How is your lady friend doing?"
"She's recovered, but she didn't join us just in case."
"Well, unlike us, she's in no rush to train." Qi Man said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Yuan tilted his head in a questioning manner.
"We only have a limited amount of time to train with you, but your friend, on the other hand, will have her entire life to train with you."
Qi Huan suddenly appeared and said, "Why don't you take Qi Fang with you? She may have a problematic personality, but I can guarantee you that she's worth it if you can tame her."
"Tame me? Why are you treating me like I am some sort of animal? I don't need to be 'tamed'!" Qi Fang overheard their conversation and quickly refuted.
"Also, there's no way that I'd ever follow him."
Qi Man turned to look at her and said, "Really? Because I recall how you always mention how you will only follow someone who is stronger than you. If you ask me, I think he's much stronger than you."
Qi Fang opened her mouth, but she couldn't refute his accusations, so she could only close it back up a moment later and feel embarrassed about the whole thing.
"Anyways, I am going to check up on Meixiu. I will see you all tomorrow."
After Yuan and Chu Liuxiang left, Qi Man turned to look at Qi Fang and sighed, "What are you thinking, you silly girl? We were trying to get you a worthy partner."
Qi Fang frowned, "You think I don't know that? It's precisely because I don't want to be his partner that I intervened."
"Why not? He's not only talented but also very young. If you ask me, there's probably nobody out there that's more worthy than him as a partner, especially for families like our Qi Family." Qi Huan said.
"You want me to partner up with my disciples' partner? Just how desperate do you think I am? And even if I was that desperate, I wouldn't do such a thing."
"The young lady from the Chu Family? What makes you think that they're partners? They seem close, but I think he seems closer to Meixiu." Qi Man asked out of curiosity.
"Hmph. He wouldn't fight the entire Chu Family over her if they didn't share a special relationship." Qi Fang snorted.
"Wait… He fought the Chu Family?" They looked baffled by this information.
"Why are you telling us this just now? What happened between Yuan and the Chu Family?"
"It's a long story, and I am tired."
"We have plenty of time."
Qi Fang sighed, "Fine, I will tell you about it, but let me shower real quick first."
Meanwhile, inside Meixiu's room.
"How are you feeling now?" Yuan asked her.
"Bored," she sighed.
"And frustrated."
"What's causing your frustration?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"A lot of things."
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
After a moment of silence, Meixiu responded while staring at him from the bed, "Do you remember your promise?"
"My promise…?" Yuan pondered for a moment before coming to a realization and blushing.
"Y-You mean… I thought that was something you said due to your fever…"
The two of them proceeded to stare at each other in awkward silence.
Eventually, Yuan broke the silence and said, "Do you want to do it now?"
