Chapter 14: Training in bow!
"Haah!" Zhang Yuan let out a satisfied sigh as he stepped out of the room, stretching his muscles after yesterday's blissful night.
"Haha!" Suddenly he heard melodious giggles and he turned his head to the kitchen as a soft smile appeared on his lips.
Entering the kitchen, he saw Ming Yuelin and Mei Yu busy cooking breakfast and chatting with each other.
The clinking of utensils and the sizzle of food on the stove added to the symphony of sounds that accompanied their morning routine.
Silently walking behind them, Zhang Yuan casually draped his arm around Mei Yu's shoulders. "It seems like both of you got along quickly."
"Master!"
"My Lord!"
Both Ming Yuelin and Mei Yu were startled to hear his charismatic voice and instantly turned their heads.
Ming Yuelin's eyes grew tender and she smiled "Good morning, Master."
Meanwhile, Mei Yu's body trembled in nervousness, feeling his arm on her shoulders and she lowered her head, a faint blush creeping over her cheeks.
Zhang Yuan gave a nod "Good morning." Ming Yuelin slightly squinted her eyes, seeing Zhang Yuan's arm around Mei Yu's shoulder.
"Master, wait for a minute; I will prepare the tea for you."
Zhang Yuan gave a nod and glimpsed at Mei Yu, who was standing still within his arm "Why are you frozen? Continue your cooking."
Eh? Mei Yu snapped out of her daze and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, My Lord."
...
After having their breakfast, Zhang Yuan and Ming Yuelin stepped out of the home while Mei Yu was inside washing the dishes.
"Yuelin, in the morning, you can do bow practice and after noon, you can cultivate and practice that Flame mantra."
Ming Yuelin nodded her head. "Yes, Master."
Zhang Yuan walked to the grassfields and many wooden training dummies appeared out of nowhere for practice.
Ming Yuelin blinked her eyes in puzzlement and glimpsed at her Master's face 'As Sister Yu said, is he... really stronger than the heavens?'
Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to Ming Yuelin and beckoned her. Obeying him, Ming Yuelin walked closer to him and at this time, a well crafted silver bow appeared in Zhang Yuan's hand.
Ming Yuelin was left in awe looking at the beautiful and as Zhang Yuan extended the bow to her, she gracefully accepted it with a big smile on her face "You can use this bow."
Ming Yuelin happily bowed her head. "Thank you, Master."
Keeping his subtle smile, he gently patted her head "Have you ever used a bow before?"
Ming Yuelin lowered her gaze, slightly embarrassed "No Master, even in my previous life I was caged in room but I have seen many disciples practicing bows."
"It looked kind of cool, so I asked Master to teach me."
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Don't worry, I will teach you. Pull the string, aiming at one of those dummies."
-_- Ming Yuelin looked at Zhang Yuan, confused "Um, Master... the arrows?"
Zhang Yuan just smiled faintly "You don't have to worry about the arrows, just pull the string, aiming at the dummy."
Being told the second time, Ming Yuelin didn't hesitate anymore and glanced at one of the training dummies.
Raising the bow above with her left hand, she pulled the string backwards with her fingers and out of nowhere, a silver arrow appeared on the bow in between her fingers.
O-Ooohh!! Ming Yuelin was amused to see this and turned to see her master and smiled.
Shen then glimpsed at the training dummy and her gaze narrowed in determination. *swish* As she let go of the arrow, it instantly pierced through the air and flew out of the cliff falling down.
Zhang Yuan: -_-
Ming Yuelin: (???)
H-Huh? Ming Yuelin was quickly embarrassed and looked at her master's face in the corner of her eyes to see his reaction and saw him chuckling.
(≧□≦) Master don't tease me!! Uhh, so embarrassing!
Screaming in her mind, she again looked at the training dummy and a gleam of determination appeared in her eyes. She took a deep breath and again pulled back the string as silver arrow appeared in between her fingers.
Oh? Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrow in amusement, seeing that she was not giving up.
*flick* As the arrow slipped from her fingers, it lost its velocity and fell to the ground. *clank*
Zhang Yuan: -_-
Ming Yuelin: (╥﹏╥)
"M-Master..." She slowly turned her head to look at him and saw him laughing again. "Haha."
Her cheeks burned in embarrassment, and she tugged at his robes "Master, please don't laugh at me. This bow is definitely defective."
Chuckling, Zhang Yuan gave a playful bonk on her head "Idiot, it is you who is defective. The way you are holding the arrow with your fingers is wrong in the first place."
Ming Yuelin rubbed her head and tilted her head in confusion "The way I am holding the arrow?"
With a nod, Zhang Yuan went behind her back and gently wrapped his right arm around her waist, pulling her closer.
*gik* Ming Yuelin's body stiffened by his sudden touch and feeling the warmth of his chest on her back, her eyelashes trembled.
"M-Master.." In a low voice, she turned her blue eyes to look at him and her breath caught in her throat, seeing his ethereal face so close.
As he moved his gaze, his eyes locked with hers, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips "Yuelin?" he softly uttered.
"Y-Yes." Ming Yuelin snapped out of her trance and quickly nodded "Yes, Master."
"Hm." Zhang Yuan placed his left hand above hers and gently grabbed the grip of the bow, his fingers overlapping above her delicate fingers as he raised the bow aiming at the training bow.
Ming Yuelin's face turned beet red as she could feel the heat of his body and his intoxicating scent filling her senses, causing her heart to race in excitement.
'H-He smells so good.' This was the only thought in her mind as she relished the warmth of his body on her.
Zhang Yuan retracted his right arm from her waist and traced it over her right arm, feeling her smooth skin as he softly grabbed her hand, guiding her fingers toward the string of the bow.
"Yuelin." As his soft voice caressed her ears, she inadvertently nodded her head "Yes Master."
"You have to keep your fingers like this..." His fingers intertwined with her tender fingers as he pulled the string of the bow along with her.
"Keep your eyes sharp and aim at your target." As he whispered in her ears, she felt his hot breath hitching on her ear, and she closed her eyes, relishing in his embrace instead of aiming at the training dummy.
"You also have to take note of the wind direction." A silver arrow materialized between her fingers and she gently opened her eyes.
Zhang Yuan moved even closer, his cheek brushing with her cheek and the blush on her face deepened "And you have to let go of the arrow."
*sleesh* As the arrow slipped from their fingers, it cleaved through the air instantly reaching its target and blasted the head of the training dummy.
*baam*
"See?"
Ming Yuelin glimpsed at his beautiful golden eyes and nodded her eyes, a slight smile appearing on her lips "Yes, Master."
...
At the same time, Mei Yu, who was cleaning the dishes inside the home had a frown on her face, various thoughts going in her mind.
"How should I approach him and ask this?"
"My Lord... do you need my p-physical service?"
"Let me be at your beck and call, fulfilling your every desire and need. I am here to dedicate myself entirely to your service and to ensure that you are taken care of in every way possible. Please allow me to show my loyalty and devotion to you on this night and for all the nights to come. If you so desire, I will gladly provide the warmth of my body to your bed."
"Or.. My Lord, are you interested in.. those things?."
"My Lord... let me serve you tonight."
"Or... I shall warm your bed, My Lord."
"Uhhhh, what to do? should I just strip naked in front of him? Or maybe act in a seductive way in front of him."
