The girl's smile was so beautiful it could calm the most ferocious anger.
Her smile brought tranquility to Xuanyuan's anxious and helpless heart. He could not exactly pinpoint the feeling, but he felt at home as long as he was with this girl. She gave him the feeling of belonging.
However, he was shocked by how easily she would be able to kill him. He didn't even see how she sent him flying.
"Who was murdering their husband?" She grinned and walked towards Xuanyuan in her bare feet. She was still stunning to look at, even with her threatening posture. As she approached him, Guxing shielded Xuanyuan, giving a whimper as a warning, but the girl ignored it. Xuanyuan looked at her in the eyes, she was at least a head taller than him. He remembered how she sent him flying and he knew he didn't stand a chance against her. He could only appeal to her with his words.
"This is my home that you slept in. How could you attack me?"
She ceased her footsteps and glanced around the house. She gave off an alluring aura with each of her movements, her glance then landed on Xuanyuan. His clothes were covered in bloodstains, he was dirty and ragged. She noticed that some of his wounds had already started to heal. After a few moments of pondering, she smiled and said,
"You have a good body, but your strength cannot even compare with the weakest fighter. How are you going to prove that this is your home? You don't posses the power to carve such a large house inside this tree?"
"If you lift the fur beneath the bed you slept on, you'll find a hidden compartment. Inside there are 936 fighter coins exactly." Xuanyuan pointed at the middle of the bed confidently.
The woman was slightly shocked. She found the coins inside the compartment under the fur and counted them one by one. It was 936 fighter coins exactly.
Her expression was shaken. Seeing this, he took the advantage and stepped up."Guxing, dig out the bones you hid inside the house. Let her see with her own eyes whose house this is."
Guxing gave out a small whimper and grabbed a large thigh bone from a magic bull that was hidden in corner of the tree house.
"You dare to say this is not my home? If you still don't believe it, I'll show you." He moved to another corner and opened another hidden compartment. There was some dried meat and clean water inside.
"Do you believe me now?"
"Then I'm truly sorry. I was exhausted when I came across such a well hidden home, so I came in to get some rest. Now that the master of the house is back, it's time for me to be on my way." She smiled. She gestured elegantly then walked towards the door leaving a floral fragrance behind.
"Wait a minute, you barge into my home and hit me for no reason at all. Now you want to just leave? This doesn't sound right." He knew if he let such a beautiful girl leave, he did not deserve the good karma his ancestors must have accumulated for him. However, there was a more important reason, Xuanyuan wanted to get more information about this world from her. He wanted to know more about cultivating and practising martial skills!
The woman was stunned and her cherry red lips quivered. "How do you plan to stop me? You can't even touch a hair on my head. If I want to go, there's nothing you can do about it."
Xuanyuan didn't react immediately, but he suddenly had a strange idea form in his mind. He softened his voice and said, "You're being too unreasonable. How about this: you teach me the martial path for a month as compensation for hitting me and then you will be free of any bad karma."
The woman looked at Xuanyuan. He looked about fourteen years old and yet he kept his home orderly, which she appreciated. From the state of his body, she could tell that he had recently been in a fight. Even though Xuanyuan had a good body, anyone who even slightly practised a martial skill could easily deal with him.
