Chapter 370: 370 makes one’s heart ache and one’s liver tremble Chapter 370: 370 makes one’s heart ache and one’s liver tremble Ye Jiu’s longing was evident, and Sikong Mo replied, “If you want to learn, we can start now, but mastering martial arts is not something that can be achieved in a day. If you truly want me to teach you, I will not go easy on you. Have you thought it through?”

“I have.” Ye Jiu was resolute.

Having lived through two lifetimes, there was no hardship she hadn’t endured. Even if the present was tough, it was all for the sake of better days ahead; Ye Jiu was unafraid.

Only through hard work would one receive rewards; no one is born with everything. She understood this truth better than anyone. Having the chance to strive and work for the future was, to her, already a blessing.

For most of the afternoon, Sikong Mo stayed in Ye Jiu’s room, diligently guiding her in cultivating her Inner Strength.

Yet Ye Jiu felt utterly at a loss, as she tried to focus her energy in her Dantian but exclaimed, “I don’t know where the Dantian is!”

Ye Jiu’s face was a picture of misery.

“The Upper Dantian is located at the forehead, and the Lower Dantian… is around the navel. Try again,” Sikong Mo said with immense awkwardness. After speaking, he felt a rush of heat throughout his body.

Ye Jiu, however, didn’t see anything wrong with it–it was just a mention of the navel, after all. In her previous life, it was common to see women wearing bikinis exposing their navels and thighs everywhere.

Only in ancient times would people wrap themselves up tightly even in scorching weather, torturing themselves needlessly–especially the girls, who could be accused of being shameless for even showing an arm!

Following Sikong Mo’s instructions, Ye Jiu tried again.

It might have been due to a lack of innate talent, but it took a long time and many attempts before she could feel a faint current of warmth coursing through her body, bit by bit, guided by Sikong Mo’s Inner Strength, and finally converging within her Dantian.

Ye Jiu attributed her slow progress to her inadequate talents, unaware that her pace was already shocking to Sikong Mo.

To think, even when he began his own training, it had taken him a whole day to feel that faint current of warmth, whereas Ye Jiu had taken just over an hour.

Of course, he had relied solely on his own exploration when he started training, unlike Ye Jiu, who had his help to channel Inner Strength.

Additionally, the medication she took played a role.

The medicine La Sike gave her served not only to detoxify but also to enhance her constitution. Although she had only been taking it for two or three months, Ye Jiu’s constitution had already improved significantly.

Naturally, there is no comparison between a person with good aptitude and one with poor aptitude.

It was not yet dark outside.

The incident with the butchered sheep next door had already caused a stir.

Ye Jiu and Sikong Mo went out one after the other, and since Sikong Mo didn’t live there, he left first.

Wenzheng followed soon after, “Little aunt, are you alright?”

Ye Jiu, still elated from starting her martial arts training and having let her guard down around Sikong Mo, failed to notice the anomaly in Wenzheng’s behavior.

“Why would anything be wrong? I’ve been in my room all this time, what could happen?” Ye Jiu countered.

Wenzheng hesitated.

It was precisely because she had been in her room all this time that there was more reason for concern.

A man and a woman alone together, and with the War King being of high rank and power, and his little aunt being so young… If she were to be taken advantage of under unclear circumstances…

Watching the direction in which Sikong Mo departed, Wenzheng silently spat in disgust.

He had spent the entire afternoon in distress, wanting to knock on the door multiple times but not daring to do so. Instead, he could only squat nearby and keep a silent vigil.
