Teasing
“Alright!! I’ve achieved the indigo qi at last.”
Leng San was overjoyed as he gained access to the Dragon’s Breath, enabling him to use fire qi. The boy could start learning the art of medicine making.
“Great!! Now you’ve been blessed with the Dragon’s Breath, but you’re going to set the room on fire if you were to circulate fire qi right here. You should go out to the courtyard.”
Freya advised Leng San.
Leng San slightly shook his head. A grin appeared on Leng San’s face.
“Let’s practice later. It’s almost time for that.”
“Almost time for what?” Freya was confused.
Within ten breaths, the door to his room opened. A person of small stature with porcelain white skin that was as fine as winter snow. Her hair was tied to the back of her head, revealing ears that complemented her face. The girl’s petite rose-colored lips were alluring and inviting. If this person were to wear feminine clothing, no words would be able to describe her beauty.
This person was Yi Longwang, who brought Leng San his meal every morning and evening.
Leng San slyly smiled.
“I was waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me?” Yi Longwang slightly furrowed her brows.
The boy pleasurably smiled.
“Of course, I am waiting for you. Being confined to the room bores me so. The only light that brightens this place is my lady, Yi Long, who brings me food twice a day.”
Leng San had been playfully serenading Yi Longwang since the beginning of his stay.
“If… if you don’t stop speaking in such a manner, I will have somebody else bring you your food.”
Yi Longwang’s face turned beet red like a ripened fruit, ready to be harvested. The girl could never get used to Leng San’s teasing as for fifteen years of her life, she had been fooling people with her disguise as an elite son of the Soaring Sword Sect leader. Furthermore, she was dubbed the number one prodigy of the Indigo Cloud City, so no one had ever teased her this way.
“If my words mean nothing to you, then why is your face so red?”
“You!!”
She couldn’t think of a comeback.
“What a poor thing, my only ray of light, please do not be mad. If you let someone else bring in my food, my condition would probably regress.”
“Hmm… Why is that so? You don’t have to worry, no one will know you are here. I promise.”
The boy grinned and shook his head.
“It’s my pleasure to be able to appreciate your beauty every morning and evening since I’ve come here. I would be devastated at your disappearance, to the point that I might cough up blood.”
Yi Longwang’s porcelain skin turned red instantly. She wanted to say something back to him, but the only word that came into her mind was...
“Yo… you!!”
“Me? Why?”
“I will leave your meal here,” the girl placed the food tray in front of the door. But when she was about to leave...
“Can I ask you to do something? And I promise I won’t tease you anymore.”
“What do you want?” The girl turned to Leng San with a little frown.
“I want to see you dressed up as a girl. I am certain that the beauty of my Yi Longwang will wreak havoc within the city,” Leng San’s face beamed with joy.
The phrase, “my Yi Longwang,” was like a lightning strike to the girl’s heart. Her beautiful face turned even redder, and her lips were quivering.
“Wh...when did I become your belonging!! I will not bring you food anymore.”
“My lady, I promise I will not tease you anymore, so please come back soon.”
“You pervert!! Hmph, I will stop talking to you,” Yi Longwang turned her back towards the boy and hastily left.
Leng San laughed wholeheartedly.
“Hahaha, she somehow deserves to be teased.”
....................…
That night, as everyone else was asleep, Leng San secretly came out to the courtyard in front of his room. This courtyard was reserved for Yi Longtian only, so there was no one here.
“Freya, I am ready.”
“Disperse qi to your palm and circulate qi, the source of fire, from the dantian. Inhale to devour like a storm, then exhale to let out the flames from the dantian to the ‘white grave’ pulse point to refine and release the fire qi to both of your hands…”
Freya continued to explain.
Following Freya’s instructions, it took Leng San about one incense stick to transform the straight beam of indigo qi released from his hands into a lighter shade of qi that beautifully mimicked the movement fluttering of flames.
“Blue flames!!”
Leng San was thrilled at the blue color of the dragon’s fire qi.
“This is probably the dragon’s fire qi. This is also the first time I’ve ever seen it.”
Leng San circulated more qi to fuel the blue flame which expanded until it fully enveloped Leng San’s body!!
“Marvelous!! I don’t feel its heat at all.”
“Of course, once you’ve possessed the dragon’s flame, your body will then be tolerant to the fire element as well.”
“Marvelous, this would mean that I could use blue fire to attack without using any moves.”
Leng San grinned. He then carefully directed the movement of the flame by controlling his qi and concentration. The blue flames started to rotate, faster and faster, suctioning the surrounding atmosphere.
‘Dragon’s Firestorm!!’
Leng San flicked his wrist to toss the blue flames rotating within his palms.
Whooooooooshhhhhh!!!
As if the dimension was being distorted by high heat, the atmosphere was being burnt, the night sky glowed with blue flames. A burnt pitch-black hole, three meters wide, half a foot deep, was created by the scorching flames of the Dragon’s Firestorm that the boy threw. Despite being tossed, the blue firestorm had no sign of dimming down!! Leng San had complete control of the blue flame.
Yi Longtian was awakened by the heat of fire qi that came from the courtyard.
The old man swiftly darted to the courtyard, just in time to witness the dream-like scene.
The spinning blue flame that was scorching the courtyard startled Yi Longtian.
“Wh..wh… what is this blue flame!! Its heat is tens of times superior to the fire qi of the Fire Fortress Sect!!”
Yi Longtian had confronted the Fire Fortress Sect countless times, so he knew how horrifying their flame was. But still, he was completely petrified by this blue flame!!
Leng San flicked his hand slightly upward and withdrew his qi to take out the blue firestorm before him.
“This is beyond my expectation.”
Leng San looked at his palm with delight before paying his respect to Yi Longtian.
“Please pardon me for training in the middle of the night.”
Leng San cupped his hands and bowed.
Yi Longtian was still in a trance, bewitched by the searing blue flame he had seen...
