BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
83 - Deal

"Heah... I really don't think I heard that from you. Waahs... Tsk, tsk, tsk." Wei Shezi watched the young man beside her for a very long time before returning to open his voice.

"What do you want with being a swordsman?" Wei Shezi asked.

"Of course in order to be close to Miss Xia Ling Qing." Chu Kai confidently said. "Miss Xia Ling Qing that is a powerful swordsman. So I also have to be that strong to be with him,"

"Is that your motivation?" Wei Shezi had already witnessed many things all along and what he heard was now the first event of his life.

"You know," Wei Shezi said. "Someone who became a swordsman... Have a big dream. Conquering the world, being the most powerful, reaching the highest level of cultivation attainment. Nothat's... Married."

"Hey, you think getting married isn't a big dream?" Chu Kai protested and said. "You can see it for yourself. How many warriors are virgins because they have never been married? The human population can be reduced if people only focus on cultivating without the intention of fostering a household. I'm more worried about the world's safety than anything else knows."

"God... How can you think of it that far?" Wei Shezi shook his head slowly, he said. "Humans are at the top of the food chain although I'm really hurt to admit it. They're like... Killed one, but grew a thousand. Humans are far from extinct, you know?"

"Aren't demonic beasts like that? Even worse,"

Wei Shezi sighed and shook his head slowly. He asked, "What sect are you from?"

"Secte of Mount Wushi,"

"The Sect of Mount Wushi.... The nearest town is Lianyi, right?" Wei Shezi asked back and was taken in by Chu Kai.

Wei Shezi said, "You escaped from the Forest of Monguii when you were how old?"

"Ehm.... I think about 8 years. Why?"

"Oh.... You ran away from that forest and lived in Lianyi City when you were 8 years old, did your father never ask you to register as a disciple of the Wushi Mountain Sect?"

"Absolutely not," Chu Kai replied. "My father just wanted me to grow up and live well. My father never forced anything on me. He's an amazing figure,"

"That's it.." Wei Shezi chuckled, "This is the difference between a layman who just wants to be an ordinary society rather than a human who has a dream of becoming a swordsman."

"What's wrong?" Chu Kai said, "Being a swordsman is always a problem. My father wanted me to become a successful businessman and collect the dowry to marry Miss Xia Ling Qing."

"Geez, getting married again?" Wei Shezi massaged his head, "Haiih... You're no longer helped. Is that just that word in your head?"

"You mean to marry Miss Xia Ling Qing?" Chu Kai smiled as he said so and it made Wei Shezi cluck a few times.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Gee whiz... Why would someone like you be designated as a Dragon Swordsman...?"

"Come on, where do I know."

Wei Shezi massaged his neck and then said, "Do I have to say this? Swordsman who cultivates to reach the highest level... I will never marry. They'll decide everything about worldliness."

"The Wushi Mountain Sect is not like that," Chu Kai would just talk back as Wei Shezi interjected.

"I'm not talking generally about this sect, which I mean the individuals who live in it. I take one example, those we previously brought to this place... Is a person with great ambition to reach the highest level of cultivation."

"Those you mean are Sacred Swordsman Xia Ling Qing and Sacred Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan. They're my brothers and sisters and a figure I admire, so don't make fun of them."

"Who did that too? I speak according to facts. That girl you like... He's not interested in you at all. You're this... Better just give up,"

"No way," Chu Kai said. "The feeling of love can grow over time. Miss Xia may not be interested in me right now, but the future"

"He won't be interested in you either," Wei Shezi interrupted and made Chu Kai flinch.

"You're this"

"Rather than that, wouldn't you rather think of a solution to your problem right now?" Wei Shezi said back and made the young man beside her raise next to the eyebrows.

"My problem? Whatchu mean?"

Wei Shezi took a breath and said, "To be honest. You're late in cultivation training. You do have monster powers, but they're not perfect."

Wei Shezi continued, "I've seen and felt it myself. The attack of your breathing technique has a terrible effect with a wide scope. If you use it in the middle of the city, then there's absolutely no certainty how many people will die."

"Not yet..." Wei Shezi said. "The attack also killed the surrounding plants. I'm sure you can imagine how dangerous and terrifying your breathing technique is."

".......... So i'm.... How's gotta?"

"The reason why your physique is still as level as an ordinary human and even the quality of your bones makes no difference... Is because when you're in the Forest of Mongui, they only teach you how to kill. They did not provide any explanation on cultivation level, attack techniques, defense, and so on. And that's why you fought me... Your movements don't vary at all,"

"It feels... In the Forest of Mougui you are only taught how to take the lives of your opponents no matter what, including your own safety." Wei Shezi sighed and said, "Train at your current age.... Um..."

"Is it so impossible that you can't even answer?"

"not impossible. But if you don't have a strong motivation, then-"

Chu Kai continued, "You have principles and I am the same. My principle is 'Ball of Giving Up'. So when do I start training?"

?!

Wei Shezi flinched, he had just not misheard. "You.... Does that mean you agreed to cooperate with me?"

"If I don't agree, will I stay here and talk to you?"

"Good!" Wei Shezi smiled, he was so happy that he hit Chu Kai so much that he surprised the young man.

"Ehem," Wei Shezi cleared his throat, "I'm too excited. It's the first time I've accepted a student, so I'm happy."

"............. Would I rather take my previous words?"

"You can't be like that. We had a deal. I'll make sure that your choice is right on my side" thin smoke formed in Wei Shezi's hand before solidifying and turning into a red fan.

Wei Shezi said, "You'll start practicing after your two friends recover. I am quite generous, so before that day comes... You can take your time off to rest or whatever."

Wei Shezi's body suddenly turned into mist before eventually disappearing. Chu Kai was naturally shocked because it happened right before his eyes. He had no idea how the woman did it.

"And next I can't keep showing myself. I'm just gonna talk to you like this,"

A voice rang out, as if it was within Chu Kai's mind. The young man was silent for a long time before he started to breathe out slowly. He really has to get used to a lot of surprises.

Chu Kai was inside a room, he sat on a chair and stared at the figure currently lying on the bed. That subject was none other than Xia Ling Qing. Several times Chu Kai exhaled heavily upon seeing the condition of this Sacred Swordsman.

"He's fine," the healer who was with Chu Kai in the room opened his voice. The figure of the old man with the white beard said, "I've concocted medicine. You drink it to her twice a day and her condition will improve,"

"Thank you," Chu Kai bowed respectfully as the healer was about to walk out. His view then leads to a cup filled with medicinal liquid made by the healer.

The healer had previously indeed already boiled the medicine for Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan when Chu Kai came. Now, Chu Kai's task was to make the two holy warriors take this herbal medicine.

"Miss Xia is still not awake, how do I do it?" Chu Kai scratched his non-itchy cheeks as Wei Shezi's voice sounded.

"Don't tell me you're gonna take advantage of this opportunity?"

"Tsk, shut up." Chu Kai took the medicine in the ceramic cup and sipped it a little. He also coughed.

"It's very bitter, ouwh. My tongue was to numb," Chu Kai was goosebumps due to the bitter taste of the medicine in his hands.

"The girl will kill you when she wakes up,"

"That's what I'm worried about," Chu Kai gulped before slowly lifting Xia Ling Qing up to lean against his chest.

"I was just helping. Not doing anything bad," Chu Kai carefully administered the medicine to Xia Ling Qing using the ceramic cup in his hand.

It's just that it's very complicated. Xia Ling Qing was completely unconscious, so it was impossible to give a drink at the moment when the girl's jaw was tightly shut. It was also impossible to give the medicine using a spoon as Xia Ling Qing's tongue covered the front of her throat.

If Chu Kai were to forcefully insert this herbal medicine, then it would only make him drip back at the corner of Xia Ling Qing's lips.

Having no other choice, Chu Kai took another sip of the herbal medicine himself. He then opened Xia Ling Qing's teeth and pressed the girl's tongue with his tongue as he forcefully gave the herbal medicine mouth to mouth. This method is effective because after several times, the herbal medicine in the ceramic cup is no longer left.

Chu Kai laid Xia Ling Qing down, enveloped the girl nicely before starting to walk out of the room and leaned back after closing the door.

The expression on Chu Kai's face looked very pale and as if he knew what was going through the young man's mind, Wei Shezi opened his voice.

"You really did. When the girl wakes up, she'll cut off your head."

"You don't scare me. I have absolutely no intention. It's just to help people. A sense of humanity," Chu Kai swallowed his saliva, a bitter taste because the herbal medicine the healer made really made him sick to the stomach.

Chu Kai shook his head, the bitter taste of the medicine even made him not have time to think about anything non-rather. He exhaled and walked to Wei Zhang Zihan's room to check on the condition of the Sacred Swordsman.

The charming young man who was ranked second from the ranks of the Five Sacred Swordsmen of the Wushi Mountain Sect had also not been conscious. Chu Kai's countenance faded as he saw that there was a ceramic cup containing herbal medicine that was similar to Xia Ling Qing's previous medicine. This meant that even Wei Zhang Zihan needed to take the same medicine.

Chu Kai froze.

"W-how is this..."

"What do you think, pfft? Didn't you say before that it was to help people? So what are you waiting for?" wei Shezi's voice sounded like a trick, even Chu Kai seemed to be able to see how the woman's facial expression was.
