《Game of World's Heroes》Question 23 - What is love?

“Wa, wa, he, why he…” Yan incomprehensible stutter comes out from her mouth.
“Finally, someone who understands my feelings,” Dana who stands next to her speak out.
Different from Yan abstruse and Dana exasperate expression, On Rin faces a wide smile apparent clearly, she rushes toward me who get out from the building.
“Big brothe~r,” she jumps towards my body.
“Oh, Rin. What are you doing here?” I ask while still hugging her.
“I just wanna see big brother today, hehe~,” she let out a radiant smile while still tightly hugging me, what a cute little sister.
I look towards Yan who still drop her jaw and asks, “Can you close your mouth Yan, it is unladylike.”
After realize in what state her is, she closes her mouth immediately and collects her thought -- trying to construct a proper sentence, “Did you attempt another breakthrough again today?”
A smirk appears on my face after seeing her asking me with aggravated expression. I lift my hands while letting out two of my fingers — creates V sign, “Yes, you catch it fast, I am in twelfth level now.”
“Dammit, didn’t yesterday you just breakthrough to the eleventh level? How can I catch you up in this case,” she grieving in orz position after hearing my answer.
“Eh, big brother attempts another breakthrough again?” Rin asks after hearing Yan words and then I answer with a nod.
“Isn’t that will make your foundation shaky?” she continues her question.
She asks a fair question, mother always taught to never attempts breakthrough while still have many flaws left unpatched. That will make our foundation in cultivating become shaky and it will harm our own potential — So, if I don’t think it thoroughly before attempting breakthrough, it like shooting myself in the leg.

“It is for ordinary cultivators, but I’m not one of them,” I answer Rin question while flaunting to Yan — I can see Yan rankles from close up.
I chuckle for a moment, to be honest, this time it's not just talent who play. I got external help from one of my guilds.
I solidified my foundation and calming the Qi in my meridian with a specific type potion from Alchemist Guild. Usually, nobody wants to rely on potions to calming gushing meridians because it will be accumulating side effect and impurity over time, and that will make it harder to attempt another breakthrough.
However, with my understanding of biology and medicine, I can make a recipe that its side effect is a short-term but painful one and won’t accumulate later. Besides that, I still have my bloodline that eases the pain from the side effect — In the end that side effect doesn’t matter to me.
There are two problems with this potion. First, it only can be used by people with perfect talent, and second, it can be only used once each level before foundation establishment stage. In the foundation stage, the potion's effect would diminish which won't make the material used worth it.
If only those problem doesn't exist, I can use these potions as leverage against big clans. However, the perfect talent requirement is reducing most of it worth. In the first place, cultivators with perfect talent wouldn't stay for a long time in Qi condensation stage.
'At least I can use it until the thirteenth level,' I console myself. 'Well, I can give Yan some before she reaches Foundation establishment stage if she doesn't mind the pain.'
I look towards Yan's face, she's fuming for a moment and then asks after calming herself, “Why you attempt it this fast, there is no reason to hurry.”

“Earlier I thought like that too, but today I met someone whom his cultivation stage is above me even though our age doesn't differ very much. His appearance in front of me, make me realize — I am just a big frog in the well.”
'My power is still far from enough to compete in the world level.'
“Eh, who? I am sure that your cultivation rate is in high level," hearing my answer, unsurprisingly she asks that question.
“Yes, but there are more hidden dragons and crouching tiger in the world than I previously thought. And for your question — doctor-patient confidentiality,” I tease her — however, it is true that I always keep my patient secret.
“What that is even mean, why are you always use a weird term,” she’s pouting after hearing my answer.
But in the end, after she’s exhaling her breath — she says a sincere congratulation, even though she has a red face while saying that. Nevertheless, I find her embarrassed expression adorable.
"Thanks," I say sincerely with a smile.
This time she let out another incomprehensible mumbling like 'don't get wrong idea' or something while playing with the corner of her shirt.
'Is it just me or her ear getting redder? and Dana, why are you smirking like that?'
Yan: Love is the feeling which makes you feel blissed. It is what makes the world beautiful for you.

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
