Samsara Online

Chapter 488: Cultivation techniques (Part 2)

On the way home, Xie Feng was silent most of the way, and no matter whether Xie Yao or any of the other girls walking beside him, they noticed that he seemed to be thinking very seriously about something, so instead of disturbing him, they chatted with each other.

If a normal person looked so distracted in the middle of the road while driving a car the passengers could surely die of fright even before a traffic accident occurred, but since the person behind the wheel was anything but normal none of the four beauties feared regardless of their ages.

Although it was only about ten minutes of driving, Xie Feng finally decided that it was better not to ask Yao Mei to accompany him to take a DNA test. The biggest reason behind his decision was that according to what Mu Wuying had told him before, Yao Mei and her brother Yao Feng were quite close to each other prior to the latter’s vanishing from the face of the earth without leaving any clue of his life or death.

After losing her brother, the personality of Yao Mei became twisted to the point where the girl barely talks. She had lost her trust and appreciation for practically every living being and even her family ceased to be so precious to her. With Yao Mei’s intelligence, it would not be difficult for her to connect the dots if Xie Feng appeared in front of her one day asking her to accompany him for a genetic compatibility test.

What Xie Feng did not want was to give Yao Mei false hope. After all, if the compatibility test was far below 50% not to mention 1% or below, then Yao Mei would surely feel sad.

Imagine someone putting in front of you the possibility of having what you want most only to find out later that in reality, that possibility turned out to be negative. Even if you knew that such a thing could happen, the disappointment and sadness could even reach dangerously high levels depending on what that hope of yours was.

However, despite all this Xie Feng had not given up. He simply had to find a way to get a hair from Yao Mei without her noticing and while it wouldn’t be easy considering how strong and careful she was, Xie Feng had some ideas in mind to pull it off.

’As long as I don’t hurt her it should be fine.’ Xie Feng thought as he parked the car in the courtyard outside the villa he lived in.

In fact, Xie Feng had been so immersed in his thoughts that he didn’t even notice when they went into the Golden Emperor Complex.

"Big brother? Are you alright?" Xie Yao, who was currently sitting in the passenger seat next to the driver, asked in a low voice.

"Oh, I’m fine. Don’t worry." Xie Feng smiled freely.

Xie Yao looked at him for a few seconds and realizing that indeed everything was fine she couldn’t help but smile and nod prettily.

"Will you play Samsara Online now?" Yao Mei asked once everyone got off the car.

She had been party playing with Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Yin Yue lately so unlike her previous solitary self the current Yao Mei always asked if the other girls would play to meet up at a specific point. Although Shen Xinya also played with them, she was mostly like Xie Feng and most of the time she played alone doing some strange and dangerous quests so she was not really fully integrated into the party.

After receiving confirmation from all of them, Yao Mei was about to leave but suddenly stopped when she heard Xie Feng’s voice behind her calling out to her.

She looked at him curiously and asked in a baby voice: "Will you play too?"

Previously, another reason Yao Mei had avoided talking was because of her voice. She hated her voice. However, with the constant praise she was receiving from Xie Feng and the other girls, Yao Mei gradually began to accept herself more so she was no longer embarrassed about having a baby voice.

"Ah, yes I’ll play... but I’ll log in later since I need to do something first." Xie Feng chuckled before saying in a serious voice, "What I wanted to say- Rather, what I wanted to ask was a favor of you."

"A favor?" Yao Mei looked somewhat surprised as this was the first time he had asked her for something. However, she immediately nodded and silently waited for his next words.

Xie Feng had saved her life and had even helped her release her anger and frustration against the god of the Amazon area back then during what was later known as Clash of Gods in the ocean. Yao Mei felt truly indebted in several ways so if there was anything she could do for him then she would gladly do it.

However, what Xie Feng said was something she did not expect at all.

"I would like you to be my training partner. No use of any skills at all, no enhancement of our body. Only hand-to-hand combat, pure martial arts."

Yao Mei’s little mouth opened slightly and subconsciously asked feeling somewhat dazed, "Just that...?"

Xie Feng smiled bitterly and explained his situation calmly, "Actually, if it weren’t for my wind manipulation ability I wouldn’t be much of a big deal. While I have trained in some martial arts in the past, my knowledge and combat proficiency isn’t much if we completely set aside my ability..."

Xie Feng noticed during his battle against Buluc Chabtan that he lacked in terms of combat experience.

Because all his life he had completely overwhelmed his enemies by relying partially or totally on his power to manipulate the wind to improve his reflexes, to get ahead of his enemy by feeling the changes in the air current, and even to improve his physical power; this as a consequence caused Xie Feng to always win with ease. However, when he finally came face to face with an enemy capable of standing up to him, his lack of experience was a problem.

Although he had martial arts knowledge, compared to those masters who had trained for tens of years Xie Feng was nothing without his wind ability.

"Okay." Yao Mei nodded easily at his unexpected but simple request. "When do you want to start? How about now?"

"... We’d better start tomorrow. I have to do something that can’t wait until tomorrow after all." Xie Feng looked at the 15-year-old girl who seemed too eager to try and tactfully declined her offer.

"Oh... That’s okay." Yao Mei nodded somewhat disappointed.

Seeing her like that, Xie Feng added, "By the way, Yao Mei. You should also come over for dinner tonight."

"... Okay."

...

Entering the house, Xie Feng checked on Han Xue Nai and not to his surprise the girl was actually connected to Samsara Online playing very comfortably while her body was casually resting face upon his bed.

"This little pig..." The corner of Xie Feng’s mouth twitched like crazy seeing her like this but finally a faint smile formed at the corner of his lips before he quietly closed the door.

He really liked Han Xue Nai. Although she was undoubtedly a bit annoying at times, her kindness was undeniable and her childlike attitude brought a lot of color to the house.

When Xie Feng came downstairs after getting something from the office and arrived in the living room, he found Shen Xinya, Gu Qianxue, and Xie Yao. They were sitting on the comfy sofa and whispering softly but when they saw him walking toward them they immediately focused their attention on him.

"Xiao Feng, is something wrong?" Shen Xinya asked as she looked at him curiously.

Earlier, he had asked them not to log into the game right away and wait for him in the living room after all.

Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue’s eyes focused on something else that Xie Feng was holding.

"Xie Feng, if you want to study the human body you can use mine as an example." Gu Qianxue said with a mischievous smile. "I can even undress for you here and now if you wish."

Xie Yao looked at her a little speechless and couldn’t help but force a smile into her heart as she shook her head at how perverted the girl next to her really was.

Xie Feng looked at Gu Qianxue’s extremely sexy body and his eyes almost began to spit fire like a flamethrower as he looked at those sinful curves in detail. However, he quickly shook his head and looked away as he said in a serious voice, "Let’s leave jokes aside for now..."

Although he wouldn’t mind losing himself in lust, it wasn’t the time....

"Eh... But it wasn’t a joke." Gu Qianxue pouted before finally sitting up when Xie Yao pulled her clothes down.

Xie Feng sighed in relief and gave a grateful look to the level-headed Xie Yao as it was really hard to resist the temptation of the current Gu Qianxue. Then, he took a deep breath and while placing the human dummy on the ground announced, "Today, I want all of you to learn the main acupuncture points of the human body."

His words naturally caused a somewhat awkward silence to descend over the room before Shen Xinya asked somewhat dumbfounded: "Acupuncture points? To do what? None of us are interested in being a masseur, doctor, or herbal salesman."

However, Xie Feng shook his head and said even in a serious voice, "I will teach you cultivation techniques, but before that, you need to learn the acupuncture points of the human body."

This time, the silence was even more awkward than before.
