Chương 5: War God — Chapter 5 - The Little Green Tea Who Comes Knocking

Obviously, compared to other methods, a massage instantly became the best choice.

"Oh, right, take this back and use it." Wang Xian handed the half-bottle of Heavenly Treasure Nourishing Balm to Ye Miyue with a look of disgust.

"This stuff is way too fragrant. I can't get used to it." Ye Miyue looked at the half-bottle of balm and frowned slightly, saying nothing. It wasn't that she minded it being used. It was that this wasn't cheap. Even without a price tag. As for being too fragrant? Ye Miyue didn't sense that. She just felt this had to be high-grade, because the fragrance it gave off was pure and natural.

"I don't need it..." Ye Miyue shook her head.

"Don't need it?" Wang Xian pointed at Ye Miyue's hands and feet.

"Loose tendons, weak strength, short breath..."

"I'm afraid the next time you massage me, I won't even be feeling it yet, and you'll be all limp and soft, collapsing onto me again to take advantage of me like just now."

"Giving this to you is for my own sake." With that, Wang Xian walked out of the room first. Passing by Ye Miyue, he casually tossed the Heavenly Treasure Nourishing Balm her way. Ye Miyue hurriedly caught it with one hand. Her other hand clenched into a fist, but she had no words to refute him. Seeing Wang Xian about to walk out the door, she extended that clenched fist and waved it lightly behind his back a few times, letting out a couple of soft humphs.

Unexpectedly, as if he had spider-sense, Wang Xian suddenly spun around.

"What? Trying to hit me?" Startled, Ye Miyue quickly pulled her hand back, her head practically burying into her chest, her voice soft and sticky:"N... no." Wang Xian nearly burst out laughing. So all that aloofness at school is just a mask? Wang Xian remembered very clearly. At school, Ye Miyue was like thousand-year-old ice, keeping everyone at arm's length. She always kept a rigid face.

Probably because of that, even though her popularity and looks were top-tier at school, she hardly had any suitors or even friends. Proud and solitary, like a crescent moon in a night sky full of darkness. How could she show such an expression? At that moment, Second Brother's figure appeared outside the door.

"Xiao Xian, that sweet girl called Chen Yuting is here looking for you again!" Hearing the name, Wang Xian froze. Countless scattered memories began to surface in his mind.

"Oh, wait a sec." Wang Xian replied, then said to Ye Miyue behind him, "Change into training clothes. Come out with me in a bit." Ye Miyue gave an "mm." Even if Wang Xian hadn't said it, she didn't want any schoolmates to see her in these clothes. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Meanwhile. In the martial hall's central sparring room.

"In a bit, I'll have Wang Xian set up a 'training package' just for us." A beautiful young girl with a bun hairstyle covered her mouth with a light laugh.

"Class division is in just 2 months. We need to train more during this time and aim to get into the martial arts class next semester!" The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, a charming face, and was already dressed in a tight-fitting outfit. Her curvaceous figure attracted the gaze of most of the men training in the room. Even the two martial artists sparring on the platform stole several glances. Beside her were two other girls in blue-and-white school uniforms, looking puzzled.

"Ting-jie, the training packages at this martial hall aren't cheap, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I heard they charge by the hour..." The two close friends chattered away, but Chen Yuting was full of confidence.

"As long as I ask, Wang Xian will agree." She added with a smile, "This martial hall is run by his third uncle. Also, we can use the training equipment here freely, no fees."

"Ah, Ting-jie, are you two...?" The two girls exchanged glances.

"Don't talk nonsense, no we're not." Chen Yuting waved it off casually.

"We're just classmates with a decent relationship." The two girls immediately showed expressions of sudden understanding.

"Oh, I see. I was saying, what status does Ting-jie have? Her being willing to come to this shabby little martial hall is already giving Wang Xian face!"

"Hehe, then we won't hold back!"

"Even though it's a shabby little martial hall, the training equipment here is really complete..."

"They even have a small gravity room!"

"Tsk, the hall's signature martial art 'Extreme Path Boulder-Smashing Hand,' that's basic old martial school stuff, right? Do people still train in this nowadays?"

"Who trains in this anymore? Once we awaken our martial talent and get innate martial skills, won't that be way better than training in this?" Quite a few training hall students who were cultivating heard these words and frowned slightly. But they couldn't really say anything. Because most of the students who came here were people who hadn't awakened martial talent. Soon, Wang Xian walked out.

"Wang Xian, come over here and train with me." Seeing the person arrive, Chen Yuting offered a shallow smile as if bestowing a favor. Wang Xian paused in his steps, looked at the girl before him, and also smiled. In his past life, because of that one drawing on paper, he had been her lapdog through high school and even college... He sobered up slightly in college, but only went from lapdog to nice guy. It wasn't until after graduation, when he learned she had married into wealth, that he finally gave up.

Then he entered the alien battlefield for decades of life-and-death tempering. After returning from the alien battlefield, Chen Yuting at that time had amassed hundreds of billions in assets through masterful maneuvering and multiple remarriages. She commanded the protection of several seventh-realm martial arts grandmasters and founded the nationally renowned 'Chen Group.' She alone was a martial arts powerhouse family.

If not for the global 'Lamenting Cataclysm' that nearly wiped out the Chen Group, her status wouldn't have been much lower than Wang Xian, who was already a half-step Martial God by then. When it came to playing men, Wang Xian reckoned that even in Dragon Country at that time, no woman could match Chen Yuting. But now, though...

"Training partner? Sure!" Wang Xian said "oh," then turned to look at Second Brother beside him, whose expression had darkened slightly, and asked:"Bro, how does our martial hall's training package pricing work?" Second Brother was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise. He muttered inwardly: Before, whenever this girl came for training, A-Xian never thought about what the price was.

"Beginner training, 500 an hour. Intermediate, 1000 an hour. Advanced... with an entry-realm martial artist as training partner, 1500 an hour." Second Brother answered with a beaming smile. Training packages naturally weren't just about training. They often came with various expensive supplements. Wang Xian nodded and said to Chen Yuting:"Then go pay at the front desk."

"?" Chen Yuting froze for a long moment. She pointed at herself.

"You're going to charge me?"

"Otherwise..." Wang Xian looked at Chen Yuting's two close friends.

"You two, don't touch things carelessly. This training equipment is only for martial hall students. Student fees are 3000 a month, right? Second Brother?"

"Hahaha..." Second Brother laughed loudly.

"For your classmates, we can give a discount. Let's say... 2500?" The two girls immediately pulled their hands back, their faces flushing bright red with embarrassment. They hurried over to Chen Yuting's side, their expressions strange.

"Wang Xian! Do you think this is funny?" Chen Yuting's expression changed in an instant, her voice cold and furious.

"You begged me to come here before!" Wang Xian said:"I begged you to come, but I never said I wouldn't charge you."

"And right now, I already have a training partner. Even if you pay, you'll have to wait in line." Chen Yuting was so angry her whole body trembled. But then the corner of her mouth hooked upward, her eyes full of disdain.

"You? Besides me, who would want a poor student with only 0. 1 innate life force as a training partner?" In short, if it weren't for your family's martial hall having these facilities, I wouldn't even come here. Wang Xian spread his hands and stepped aside, revealing behind him Ye Miyue, who had already changed into a white training outfit and was slowly walking out. In an instant, when Chen Yuting and the other two saw her, their eyes went wide.
