After the family gathering, time seemed to flow like water. A month passed quietly, almost unnoticed, as peaceful days slipped by.
The sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth like a furnace. The heat radiating from the ground distorted the air, making everything appear slightly warped.
At the top of Xiao Clan's back mountain, nestled in a dense forest, sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, casting small, star-like spots on the ground covered in fallen leaves.
Within the small forest, two figures moved swiftly, their bodies intertwining in a series of rapid exchanges. As their palms clashed, small waves of wind were created, sending dried leaves swirling around.
With a casual move, Mo Yu blocked Xiao Yu's whirlwind kick, his arm slightly raised in front of him. Though her attacks seemed harmless, the power behind them intensified unexpectedly at the moment of impact.
However, such a move had little effect on Mo Yu.
Watching Mo Yu remain calm and composed, Xiao Yu bit her lip slightly. Her fair hands moved gracefully before her, emitting a faint azure Dou Qi that coated her slender fingertips with a soft glow.
Seeing Xiao Yu attack again, Mo Yu's face showed a hint of helplessness.
Since he had defeated her a month ago, Xiao Yu had been pestering him every few days, under the pretense of "sparring." Whether it was to keep her promise or out of sheer frustration, Mo Yu couldn't quite tell.
Although it was somewhat tiresome, he occasionally found some enjoyment in it.
After all, training with such a beautiful and graceful opponent was a welcome distraction from the rigors of cultivation.
Xiao Yu's foot slammed into the ground, leaving a small indentation. Her curvaceous body twisted into a seductive arc as she launched another powerful kick towards Mo Yu.
"Whirlwind Shadow Kick!"
Her graceful movements came to an abrupt stop about a meter in front of Mo Yu. She pushed off with her right foot, spinning in place to gather momentum, and her left leg drew a captivating arc in the air, aiming a fierce kick at Mo Yu.
Seeing the ferocity of Xiao Yu's attack, Mo Yu nodded slightly in approval. In this month of sparring, Xiao Yu had certainly improved—not just in strength but also in her mastery of techniques.
This time, Mo Yu chose not to dodge. Instead, ten thunder patterns on his right arm flickered to life.
Though Xiao Yu had improved, Mo Yu's progress had been even more remarkable. The thunder patterns on his arm had increased to seventeen, four more than a month ago.
But for Xiao Yu, Mo Yu figured ten would suffice.
As Thunder Body activated, a surge of formidable thunder energy enveloped Mo Yu's right fist. He then decisively struck out, meeting Xiao Yu's incoming leg head-on.
Boom!
As fist met leg, a dull thud resonated through the air, sending the surrounding fallen leaves into a whirlwind. Both figures were forced backward by the impact.
However, while Mo Yu remained composed, Xiao Yu was visibly shaken. Her breath was ragged, and her energy was thrown into disarray.
"You're a monster! How could the family produce a monster like you?" After taking a moment to catch her breath, Xiao Yu gritted her teeth as she glared at Mo Yu's calm demeanor.
Though she had already lost to him a month ago, it was the continued sparring sessions that truly made her realize just how deep Mo Yu's abilities ran.
Over the past month, Xiao Yu's perception of Mo Yu had gradually changed. Coupled with the special relationship between them and the promise from their match, Xiao Yu found herself slowly accepting the role of Mo Yu's fiancée.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu looked at the young man before her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Oblivious to Xiao Yu's internal turmoil, Mo Yu wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling a bit overheated. He tugged at his shirt and casually tossed it aside, exposing his lean but toned upper body.
Seeing Mo Yu bare his upper body so nonchalantly, the usually carefree Xiao Yu found her cheeks blushing slightly.
"What are you waiting for? Come over here and help me wipe the sweat," Mo Yu leaned against a boulder and tossed a towel in Xiao Yu's direction.
Although their relationship hadn't developed into something deeply emotional yet, they were engaged by chance, and Mo Yu saw no reason to deny it. Since the situation couldn't be changed, he would face it with calm acceptance.
As long as Xiao Yu remained loyal to him, Mo Yu would ensure she had everything a wife deserved.
"You—!" Furious at Mo Yu's presumptuous attitude, Xiao Yu clenched her teeth, but after hesitating for a moment, she reluctantly grabbed the towel and approached him.
Standing beside him, she noticed that Mo Yu had already closed his eyes, resting. Xiao Yu breathed a small sigh of relief, then quietly began wiping the sweat from his body with the towel in hand.
As she worked, the proximity made her heart race, and Xiao Yu found it hard to concentrate, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts.
But her focus was shattered when Mo Yu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her with an intense gaze.
Due to the hot weather, Xiao Yu had dressed in a light, short blue outfit that left much of her fair skin exposed. Her graceful neck, soft curves, and well-developed figure, particularly her long, slender legs, exuded the alluring charm of youthful vitality.
Seeing her like this, Mo Yu momentarily lost himself.
"You little pervert!" Seeing the fiery look in Mo Yu's eyes, Xiao Yu angrily snapped, her teeth clenched, though a faint trace of satisfaction flickered in her heart.
Caught off guard, Mo Yu awkwardly chuckled. He wasn't one to be driven by lust, but being a normal young man who hadn't been around women for a while, he couldn't help but be somewhat affected.
"You're my fiancée; it's not wrong to take a look," Mo Yu said, his tone unashamed now that he had been caught. Their relationship had grown special, after all, so Mo Yu had no qualms about being open.
This left Xiao Yu momentarily speechless. She glared at him but couldn't find the words to counter.
After a while, Xiao Yu seemed to remember something, and her voice lowered, "In about six months, the Jia Nan Academy will come to Wu Tan City to recruit students. One of the senior students responsible for the tests… he's been rather persistent in pursuing me."
As she spoke, a flicker of annoyance crossed her eyes, clearly irritated by the situation.
Understanding dawned on Mo Yu. Given Xiao Yu's beauty, it was no surprise she had admirers at the academy. It seemed some of them weren't willing to take no for an answer.
Mo Yu smirked coldly and looked at her. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
