Chapter 388: How Strong?
"I just find it boring; most of those movies just go all action explosion left and right, or go all hi, I love you, save me.
Now anime is different, it has all of those while those characters are also very interesting. For that one maid, even though she knew the main character was in love with another, she still confessed her feelings.
I still remember her words, 'I just want to find some way of being useful to you. To repay you. I will do anything.'"
YanYu's eyes glistened with excitement as she then added, "How I wish I had someone like that."
Rafael let out a chuckle, "You are really a unique case. The others seem to like those I love you then I will rescue you plots no matter how many times it's repeated."
"Did we even watch the same movie? Just what did you focus on?" Xue Fang asked with confusion. "There are many wars in those movies, and some of the strategies didn't make sense to us, but with some improvement, I am sure we can use them for our purpose.
"That is true; as for me, I just love everything as long it has some action. Although my favorite will still be that anime." He said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah, that…" YanYu said with a frown as she remembered the hellish training their group needed to do, thanks to MingHao's obsession with that story.
"Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty.
You know, MingHao, at some point, I even mumbled that in my sleep, you really carved those words into our brains."
"That is good. Now you just need to practice it." Rafael said with a hearty laugh.
"Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty.
That is actually good advice. I should use it for my clan in the future." Xue Fang mumbled, making YanYu glare at her.
"Not you too… Come on, Xue Fang, spare your clan members from that torture."
"What do you mean? How could that be torture? That is a very healthy way of living. If only you knew how my clan members do their training."
"Xue Fang, you really don't know what plenty means in his words. Do you know how long we sleep every day?"
"Hmm, as a cultivator, sleeping is more for mental health; I will say four hours a day is plenty." Xue Fang said.
Just like other people in BaiYue sect, she also absorbed much new knowledge, this included modern philosophy and mental health.
"Yeah, four hours, now if you want to know, we have the same amount of sleep, only we get it every 4 days," YanYu said while she rolled her eyes.
Rafael let out a chuckle, "Hey, that is more than enough. anyway, the number is from my aunt.
With the meals that we get, and considering our age, she said we should be able to do that without any problem."
"No, we were there, MingHao; you just twisted her words. She said if we want to quickly adapt to living as a cultivator, do this."
"And she is not wrong, don't you see the result?"
"Just what do I hope when I tell you this," YanYu said with a sigh.
Even though there are many problems that come from living as a civilian, it doesn't mean it doesn't have any benefits.
YanYu and the others grew up with many times to play. They also slept when they wanted without worry. This was far different compared to MingHao's childhood.
They started cultivating as early as possible; even before that, they needed to attend many classes to understand how their clan, family, or sect worked.
Just like MingYue's past, MingHao was not much different; only MingYue had more burdens on her shoulders, as her talent became the hope of the family.
One that ironically resulted in betrayal and destruction.
"Oh yeah, you haven't answered, Minghao. Do you know where your sister gets all this stuff?" Xue Fang asked.
"I don't know, and honestly, I believe it's better for me to never know."
"Why?" YanYu asked.
"Because I am weak, who knows if someone got their hands on me. They could forcefully extract it from my soul.
It's not like there is any real benefit in knowing where it comes from."
"Of course, there is; at the very least, I will understand what your sister's goal is."
MingHao frowned, then gazed at Xue Fang." Why?"
"My clan is now part of your sister's sect, but she never told me what she wanted us to do.
Only now, she told us to start expanding the sect."
"Isn't it clear? She wants our sect to take over the world." YanYu said with excitement in her voice.
"It's not that simple, YanYu. Honestly, I have asked MingYue about this. After learning everything about the sect, I wonder why she never made any moves.
Goblins up this region will be a piece of cake for her, but problems come when others hear about this.
What will we do then?
You think all these weapons are enough to kill all immortals in our world?"
"Don't we have one that could at least hurt them?"
"And that is precisely why we will become a target. We have the potential to do it, posing a real risk to their hegemony.
Don't you know the saying nip it in the bud?
Why give us a chance for us to grow?"
"I believe sis has their own plan. Don't you hear the central region is in chaos now?"
"Yes, but I doubt it's related to your sister's plan."
"Who else then?"
Xue Fang shrugged, "How would I know…" her voice trailed off as she suddenly felt danger.
"Stop. There is something in front of us."
"How strong?" Minghao asked. He knew Xue Fang's capability, as he often requested to spar with one of her puppets.
If even she felt it was dangerous that meant whatever was in front of them was not something that they could handle easily.
