3 Meeting My Martial Aunt...
"Eldest Senior Brother!?"
Gu Youwei exclaimed in shock, her eyes widening.
Her useless Senior Brother had such a pure sword aura!?
"...Uhh...? Isn't that sword art familiar to the Clear Sky Sword Art...?" She mumbled confused...it seemed quite familiar to her...
However, a sudden memory appeared for her...
—
"Did you all understand?" Luo Xueying asked, her eyes gazing over her five disciples.
All of them nodded their heads except Yan Shun...he lowered his head in embarrassment...
"Don't worry, Shun'er. Some people take more time to learn." She said in a neutral voice, comforting him.
"Mhm..." He nodded his head.
"Master! I have a question!" Suddenly, Gu Youwei lifted her hand high and said to Luo Xueying.
When she noticed that her Master had nodded her head, she asked, full of excitement...
"Master, that technique is familiar to the Radiant Sky Sword Technique, isn't it?"
Luo Xueying nodded, and then explained, "Gu Youwei, some people are natural Sword Cultivators...and those people have a huge talent for swords..."
She sighed softly, and then continued, as if reminiscing about something.
"They are so talented, that they can detect the flaws of some techniques and even improve them... Even a mere Low Spirit Art can be transformed into a Peak Spirit Art."
Gu Youwei's eyes widened in astonishment at her Master's words.
One day...
She would like to meet with a person like that!
And train swords with him!
—
The thought of her Senior Brother being that type of person...
Made her...extremely mad!
Why would a bad guy like him have such a good talent!?
Immediately, anger retorted in her face, and she found herself running towards Yan Shun.
"Senior Brother!" She called out to him, her voice full of anger.
In that instant, Yan Shun slowly angled his gaze toward her...
His lips parted slightly, a mix of bewilderment and surprise etched across his features...
The deep obsidian of his eyes beautifully contrasted with the purity of his snow-white hair, his clothing accentuating the hue of his captivating eyes...
Gu Youwei, found herself lost in his beauty...
She looked at him, from up and down, and blinked...
She wanted to see if it was really her Senior Brother...
He simply looked...too stunning...
[Ding~~! Gu Youwei's Affection Grade Has Increased To Hate!]
"Uhh?" He exclaimed, clearly confused...
Does his Junior Sister...like handsome guys?
"Junior Sister...? You, okay?" He asked softly.
Upon hearing his voice, Gu Youwei finally snapped back to reality!
She couldn't believe that she lost control of herself...
Just because of her Senior Brother's Beauty!
She shook her head and then pointed her sword at him.
However... when she tried to open her mouth...
She found herself at loss!
What could she say to him?
That he didn't deserve the talents he has!?
He was obviously the only one who had a very difficult beginning when starting to cultivate!
After all, he's still at the First Realm!
"Ugh...I...I...I'm leaving!" She exclaimed, as she jumped on her sword and flew away from that place...
Meanwhile, Yan Shun tilted his head, he was confused...
"Uhh? What's up with her?"
"Never mind...let's just get back to practice..."
He immediately cleared his thoughts and continued practicing...
He was feeling extra motivated!
—

—
"Huff...huff...huff..."
[Ding~~! The host has gained a First-Order Sword Intent!]
—Thud!
"Ugh...finally!" Yan Shun sat on the ground.
He lay down in the comfy grass...his face covered with sweat.
After a few hours of practice...he finally got his own Sword Intent!
...If anyone had ever seen what he had said... they would have their jaws dropping!
To get a Sword Talent, unless you're very talented, it takes years!
You need to become one with the sword!
You need to have a lot of experience in wielding a sword!
However... his Sword Intent could be considered mediocre at least.
The Sword Intents are also divided into Realms, just like the normal Cultivation Realms.
First Order to Tenth Order.
Then comes the Higher Grades, which have four minor stages each; Low, Mid, High, and Peak!
Earth, Heaven, King, Saint, Emperor, and finally Divine!
When Sword Cultivators have their Sword Intent reach the Fifth Order, they will earn an attribute.
His Master's Sword Intent is at the High Emperor Grade!
And her attribute is Ice!
And there's also his Junior Sisters...
Each one of them has a Sword Intent above the Fifth Order!
And he was the only one who didn't have a Sword Intent!
But now...he has!
"Check...Huff...Battle Prowess..."
[Battle Prowess: 2.3 Times Stronger Than Average.]
"Finally... I'm stronger than average!" He said excitedly...
But then, he sighed.
"That shouldn't be something to be proud of, but alas... I was weakling...and still am."
Thinking about his cultivation, he remembered something!
"The Library Token!"
He still had the Library Token that his Master gave him!
However, that thought suddenly dissipated...
"Tsk... I only have Top-Notch Sword Talent, not Cultivation Talent...!" He clicked his tongue.
However, then he suddenly remembered the Affection List, he remembered that his Martial Aunt was just a step from Friends!
And then he could get a reward!
Maybe it would be some kind of cultivation aptitude!
With that thought in mind, he entered his Master's Abode, leaving a letter, and went to the Divine Phoenix's Peak!
He was ready to meet Yao Meili!
—
"Thinking about it...this may not be the best idea..."
Yan Shun stopped right before the Divine Phoenix's Peak entrance...
"After all...there are only women here!"
Taking a deep breath, Yan Shun stepped inside.
The only reason he could enter the Peak brazenly, was because, in his childhood, Yao Meili was basically a mom to him!
She took care of him for a long time!
She even gave him a Token to enter the Divine Phoenix's Peak!
"You there, stop!" Suddenly, a female voice called out to Yan Shun.
He turned his head...
And the girl had a nosebleed...
With a sigh, Yan Shun took out the Token and hung it around his waist, to make sure they knew that he could come here.
With that, he started walking towards Yao Meili's Residence, where he could meet her.
He got many judgy gazes and even some lustful ones...which was totally weird to him!
But, what surprised him, was that they were all extraordinarily beautiful!
Obviously, they couldn't compare with his Junior Sister, but so, they all were so beautiful!
He didn't mind staying here for a longer time...
Yeah...no.
He didn't know if his Master would get jealous or not.
Finally, after a long walk, he reached Yao Meili's Residence!
And to his surprise, it was quite simple.
She lived in a modest wuxia-style house, very pretty and suitable for her, who doesn't like luxurious things.
Yet, what truly set it apart, was the Qi Concentration around her Residence, which was at least 5 times more than the outside world.
Taking a deep breath to calm down his nerves...
He knocked on the door...
He also got a deja-vu...
*Knock-Knock*
"The door is open, you may come in."
As he stepped through the doorway, his presence was immediately captured by the arresting gaze of a mature woman.
She reclined gracefully upon a chair that oozed comfort, a tobacco pipe held languidly between her delicate fingers.
Wisps of smoke gracefully spiraled from the embrace of her exquisitely red lips.
Amaranth-colored strands of hair cascaded like silk, framing her countenance with an air of regal allure.
Her eyes were a mesmerizing shade of crimson, while her ample bosom appeared to be majestic mountains!
A waist of graceful slenderness flowed into a form that boasted proportions reminiscent of artistic masterpieces, with legs that were both plump and exquisitely beautiful.
As Yao Meili saw Yan Shun, her eyes widened, and immediately she opened her mouth...
"Oh my~~? Little Shuan, I didn't expect you~~?" Her red lips parted slightly, curving into a playful smile.
"Do you perhaps miss your childhood moments with your Martial Auntie~~?" She teased him, storing her tobacco pipe in her Spatial Ring.
Yan Shun shook his head at Yao Meili.
It wasn't the first time she had teased him...
And he grew quite immune to it.
"Martial Aunt, I—"
"No~no~! Remember what you used to call me~! I want you to call me that~!" She pouted and reprimanded Yan Shun.
'System...is her affection really only at Strangers...?'
He couldn't help but ask.
[Yup. However, her affection should be pretty easy to increase. Just make her reminiscence about your childhood with her...]
[And her affection will probably grow into the affection she had for you in your childhood.]
Seeing this, Yan Shun sighed.
And then his gaze at her sharpened, he cupped his head, and said in a sweet nostalgic voice.
"Disciple Yan Shun greets..."
His voice stopped at that moment...
Nope...only now...he noticed that her childhood nickname...was too fucking strange for him to say...
Especially when he's already a full-grown man!
However, Yao Meili's gaze at him, was full of stars, as if she was really expecting him to call her 'that'.
"Come on~ Don't be shy~~ Call your Martial Aunt... 'that'~~," She said, just to tease him once again.
Looking at his, Yan Shun really didn't want to say 'that' word...it's too fucking embarrassing...!
He swallowed hard...he could even feel sweat forming on his forehead for how hard he was being hesitant to call her 'that'...
He could feel his face getting hotter because of the embarrassment that it would be...
Even while exhaling and inhaling...his embarrassment didn't leave...
"Little Shuan~~ Don't be shy~~! Come one... just say it~~" Her smile only widened, however, her eyes were still full of expectations.
She was like a child looking at her favorite candy being delivered to her!
Yan Shun gritted his teeth, full of hesitation, but...the...the System's rewards also were very useful for him!
He was called useless!
He got bullied!
And...there's also that guy!
He needs to kill that guy!
No...he will kill that guy!
'Here it goes...'
Yan Shun took a deep breath, and then looking straight at Yao Meili's eyes, he said in a sweet nostalgic voice.
"Disciple Yan Shun greets..."
"Mommy!"
