"What's wrong with you?" The Heaven Emperor could not stop himself from asking.

"What's wrong with me? I should be the one asking what is wrong with you? You stayed there longer than me. If you were not going to tell her to rest then why did you stay there?"

The old man asked the Heaven Emperor angrily.

"I just told her to keep her pets in check and also to not scare us by shrieking out of nowhere." The Heaven Emperor's acting was top notch. There was not a single soul that could guess that he was lying.

"What rubbish! Rather than telling her to rest, you talked about stupid things like these. Where are your morals?" The old man was about to throw his hands.

"If you are that worried about her why don't you go and tell her to rest on your own? Don't take out your frustration on me."

At the Heaven Emperor's words, the old man became completely silent.

"What worried? I'm not worried about her. Don't go around talking nonsense." The old man was quick to respond.

At the raised eyebrows of the Heaven Emperor, the old man shut down his array formation book and stood up from his chair.

He was being suspected for caring about that outrageous girl, how stupid!

He was not worried about her, not even a single bit. He just didn't want to deal with a dead body in his previous Snow Fields, that's all!

Mumbling under his breath the old man went out of the hut and shut the door behind him with a bang, leaving a smirking Heaven Emperor behind.

The old man headed straight to the deeper parts of the Snow Fields to find ingredients for his dinner.

---

Li Ming closed the crystal ball softly as if she was afraid to break it accidentally.

A huge cartoon which was placed at her feet beside her chair was filmed with similar crystal balls.

She let out a sigh as she picked up another half crystal from her table and started working on it.

She had no idea for how long she had been working on the crystals. She had started right after having dinner with the Heaven Emperor.

She didn't even realize that it was already half-past five in the morning and that she had missed half an hour of her morning training session with the Supreme Immortal.

She was too deep into her work that she didn't even notice the presence of the Immortal behind her.

"Are you planning to sit here for the rest of your session too?"

The cold and deep voice that suddenly entered her ears, surprising Li-Ming and in her shock, the crystal from her hands fell down on the floor, breaking into hundreds of pieces.

She looked at the Supreme Immortal who was standing at the entrance of her spell room.

Her eyes immediately searching for a watch to see the time and to her horror, it was showing five thirty-three at that moment.

"I'm so sorry. I think I lost the track of time...., it won't happen again. I promise." Li Ming hurriedly said as she tried to explain her lack of punctuality.

Wen Guiying looked at the girl who was standing in the shadows, only a small portion of the table lamp light was shining on her face.

However, he could still see the tiredness that was clear in her eyes and her stiff body which appeared like it needed rest immediately.

"Let's head for the training grounds."

Without wasting a single more second, he turned around and left the room.

Li Ming didn't waste any time as she too hurriedly ran after the Supreme Immortal.

Their current training ground was at the Southern end of the Xiao Tiantang, in short, it would take you around forty twenty minutes to reach there by foot.

Little did she knew that the Supreme Immortal was in the mood for a morning walk. Normally they would transmigrate there but right now, Li Ming was following behind the Immortal as they walked through the uneven path that led to their training grounds.

By the time they reached their destination, black dots had started appearing in front of Li Ming's eyes.

She only prayed that the reason for which she was going through so much, would not disappoint her.

"Are you already tired?"

Wen Guiying's question brought her out of her sad thoughts. She took in a deep breath before replying, "No."

Though her answer was in negative but even she could hear the slight tremble in her voice and the worst was her heart which was beating as if she had run a marathon.

To her relief, the Supreme Immortal didn't comment about her shaky breath and trembling voice.

"We will start from where we ended yesterday."

The Immortal said as he took out his sword. Of course, it was not his actual sword but a normal one.

Li Ming still had not picked a weapon. It was not because she didn't want to but because there wasn't a single weapon that pulled her to it.

She had been to numerous weaponry shops, auction houses, and weaponsmiths but nothing worked.

The weapons that her mates introduced to her didn't work either. She was currently practicing with her daggers that she used back on Earth.

Everyone thought that there was a certain weapon waiting for her, she just needed to find it while she was not really that confident about this theory.

As she watched Supreme Immortal getting into his position, she took out her favorite daggers.

The steel blade sparkling in the brightness of the early dawn.

She took her own position, her body filling with the adrenaline rush even though she was tired as hell.

Wen Guiying pulled on his qi which traveled to the sword that he was holding. With a single move of his blade, three balls of energy came rushing out of the sword, aiming right at Li Ming.

Just as the first energy ball reached her, Li Ming bent down backward to let the ball pass over her, at the same time the dagger that she was holding in her left hand came crashing on the second energy ball, immediately shattering into tiny sparkles.

The third energy ball was also met with the same fate as the second one. However soon many new energy balls were rushing towards Li Ming.

She kept crushing them with her blades or either avoiding a few of them, but soon enough her body started getting tired.

It had been barely eighteen minutes since they started their training when Li Ming suddenly dropped to her knees, breathing heavily.

Her eyes were tightly shut and her hands were resting on her knees, her entire body was covered in sweat as she shook her head tightly to get rid of the blackness that was calling her name repeatedly.

Wen Guiying was immediately by her side as he watched her dropping on her knees with shocked eyes.

He knew that she was tired but he had no idea that the situation was this serious.

"Are you alright?"

He asked as he crouched down in front of her. His hand reached to hold her by her shoulder but soon stopped before he could touch her.

When he didn't get any reply from her his tension increased. He immediately tried to send a message to his brothers, to call at least one of them there to help her.

What he didn't expect was for his message to get blocked due to some reason. He tried again but the result was the same.

This only made him more tensed. Was there something trying to harm her? The thought made him glare at their surroundings.

Li Ming finally succeeded in opening her eyes and the first thing that came into her view was the worried face of Wen Guiying.

"I-I'm alright, just a-a little...tired. Can w-we continue t-tom...orrow?" Her breathing was still shaky and uneven, making it harder for her to speak.

"What's wrong with you? Are you alright?" The Supreme Immortal was getting more worried with each passing second.

He didn't like the way Li Ming appeared pale and tired.

Li Ming nodded her head in reply to calm the Immortal down. She pushed herself up and stood up on her shaking legs.

"I'm heading b-back to the m-mansion." She told the Supreme Immortal as she started walking.

She barely had taken a single step when her legs gave up on their work and she felt the abrupt decrease in her energy.

Before her body could land on the hard ground, of course, she was engulfed by the strong arms of Wen Guiying.

Her eyes were struggling to stay open and feeling the warmth and relief that suddenly took over her body, she decided to give her eyes some rest.

Just before she could close her eyes, her gaze landed on the banshee who was standing in the shadow of the trees. Her red-painted lips gave her a warm smile and with a wink, she disappeared.
