Chapter 52: Twins?
'Two people... Cultivators, Oh? Are they twins?' Tang Yin thought as he looked at the faces of the two people who had just left.
They were a man and a woman, very similar despite being of opposite sexes. Although the woman had a black veil on her face that didn't let her features show properly, from what he could see, they were quite similar.
Tang Yin was about to speak just as he saw them, but they both quickly approached and bowed to them.
Then the man spoke.
--"Gentlemen, could you give us the body of the beast? It may not have much use to you, but to us, it is very valuable." Said the man as he asked, though in truth he had no hope in asking this.
The body of a beast over 1,000 years old costs a lot of money, even if it has no spiritual energy.
Who would give this away?
Actually, he only approached them because noticed that they had been able to hunt this powerful beast when there were only two of them.
That meant they were both powerful, so it was good to befriend them. Maybe they could benefit from that in the future.
After all, a 1,700-year-old Beast, although it is of the Eighth Level of the Spirit Entry Realm, is still more powerful than the Tenth Level, although with the skills it could be beaten. Even more so a winged snake like this.
Tang Yin looked at them somewhat surprised.
It was the first time a person who wanted the body of a beast had asked so politely.
Besides, they were not entirely weak.
The woman was at the Eighth Level of the Spiritual Entry Realm, and the man was at the Seventh Level of the same Realm. They were both about 18 or 19 years old, so they were talented.
Even Huang Feifei was surprised that they would ask that in such a way, with such politeness.
Tang Yin then smiled.
--"What do you need it for? I think you are both aware that this body has a high cost, right? Was 1,700 years old before died." Tang Yin replied, wanting to test them.
They both nodded.
--"Actually, we'll be honest, we want it because then we could sell it and pay the entrance fee to the Imperial Academy." Replied the man with some embarrassment.
Tang Yin was surprised by the answer he received.
--"Can't you afford it? You are both decent cultivators." Tang Yin said doubtfully, and they both laughed in embarrassment.
--"Young Master, we are just peasants from a small city in the south. Our parents died and we don't have any money. Besides, although we are cultivators, my sister attracts young masters in masse and they want her to marry any of them, if she doesn't, they won't let us work. That's why we are like this." Replied the man.
Tang Yin then nodded and looked at the woman, who remained silent all this while.
'I can tell she's beautiful under that veil. No wonder those guys behave like that.' Tang Yin thought.
After that, he nodded to the man.
--"Okay, the beast's body is yours." Tang Yin said with a smile and then nodded to Huang Feifei. She was happy about the decision he made, so she didn't say anything, just smiled at him.
When both twins heard this, they were a bit stunned, they didn't expect him to say yes.
They only said it to get closer to them, to begin with, why had he decided to gift them something so expensive? Was he some kind of merchant with a lot of money or something? They thought.
But they didn't know how to react quickly, as it wasn't what they expected.
Still, a minute later, they both reacted with joy as they bowed to Tang Yin.
--"Thank you very much, Young Master!"
--"Thank you very much, Young Master!"
They both said at the same time, very grateful. Could hear it in the voice.
Tang Yin nodded with a smile.
--"Don't forget to protect your younger sister. A man who abandons his family doesn't deserve to be a man." Tang Yin said and then turned to leave with Huang Feifei.
The young man looked at him somewhat surprised, but quickly nodded.
--"Yes, Young Master, I'll be sure to protect her." He replied firmly, and Tang Yin waved goodbye.
--"I didn't expect them to be such good people... They even gave us this huge body..." said the girl with a smile, under the veil.
Her brother nodded to her.
--"Hahaha, big sis, we already have for the entrance fee thanks to that young master." He said as ran over to look at the beast's body.
It was in better shape than he thought it would be, so he wondered how they managed to kill it so quickly as to not damage its body so much.
His sister smiled and nodded.
--"I hope it's not like those young masters…" She said with an uncomfortable smile.
Whenever they did favors for her, they always had ulterior motives for doing so. Her brother knew this, so he nodded.
--"I don't think they are, look, they just took off like that and just left us the body here. They seem to be rich. Besides, that girl traveling with him, she's beautiful, I don't think he needs beauties." He said with a smile, and his sister nodded.
'He's right... I don't think I compare to her, she's so beautiful...' She thought admiringly.
After that, they both started to prepare the body of the beast they had gotten effortlessly, but which meant a lot to them, a pair of special twins...
...
That day, Tang Yin and Huang Feifei returned to the city in high spirits.
Huang Feifei was the most animated, who was extremely happy, and talking a lot regarding their battle.
If returning to the city meant returning to cultivate fervently under Tang Yin's tutelage.
She was even more excited than before because she had been able to see that that little 2-week training Tang Yin gave her had been the best thing that had ever happened to her.
Not only did she get to spend a lot of time with him, but she was also able to improve by leaps and bounds, so she was very encouraged...
…
Thus, two weeks passed again, and thus a month had passed since they arrived in the city.
During this time, Tang Yin was training Huang Feifei in every possible aspect.
But, during the whole third week, he focused on: Stabilizing her base and strengthening her body, so it was a tough training for her.
One in which she had to persist with great willpower because, on several occasions, she was about to renounce.
After that, there was training in the handling of her Spiritual Scepter, light martial arts training, concentration training...
In addition to several other training sessions.
They had fought a lot, and she no longer made as many mistakes as in the beginning.
In fact, in a hand-to-hand battle, she could stand to fight Tang Yin for a long time.
However, she was still amazed by one fact: Even if she had now learned a lot from Tang Yin, she was still far from being able to beat him.
She felt as if, even now, Tang Yin still hadn't shown all he had.
If she used spiritual energy, felt she could beat him easily, but without spiritual energy, she was too far away.
It's quite normal, considering the kind of genius Tang Yin became at the time and that he is an adventure-loving person.
The amount of combat experience Tang Yin has is so great that it was one of the reasons why he had to die.
Although he is now in a body that is not him, but because it is so similar to the one he had before, it feels like he is using his real body, there is almost no difference, so naturally, Huang Feifei would not be able to beat him in a martial arts battle.
But that doesn't mean she hasn't improved.
Tang Yin himself is surprised by the good progress she has made all this time. It is true that in cultivation, she only advanced to the 5th level during these two weeks, but her advancement in battle experience has been very important.
At this moment, Tang Yin is watching her, as she is cultivating with a ball spinning around her.
'Yes, she fits this Killer Ball very well.' Tang Yin said in his mind.
That external spirit weapon that he had obtained a while back from the system roulette, he had decided to give it to her, as it suited her very well.
The only problem she has right now is her lack of defense and that her range is not very long, so this spirit weapon suits her very well.
Also, it will help her a lot in building her base while he is not here.
It had been a whole day since she had begun to assimilate it, and now it seemed to be ending.
Just at that moment, the spinning ball stopped on her left hand, and a great stream of spiritual energy shot out from Huang Feifei's body towards it.
The spinning ball did not resist and even ran towards that spiritual energy, and they merged in a small rumble.
This caused there to be a lot of breeze throughout the room, moving the curtains back and forth causing moonlight to enter the room, it even moved Tang Yin back a little.
'Oh, it's very compatible with her...' Tang Yin thought with a smile after pulling himself together, and right after this, the spinning ball disappeared into Huang Feifei's chest.
It had become a soul tool; it was now bound to Huang Feifei.
The first external spiritual weapon she had.
Huang Feifei at that moment, opened her eyes and looked up searching for Tang Yin. As soon as she saw him, she smiled and quickly jumped on him, pouncing as if she had found her prey.
She didn't even utter a word before she began to kiss him passionately...
