The youth stood stiff as he heard such a task.
Before he had a chance to respond, the Villain placed her hand on Jun's shoulder, suddenly he felt a surging pain shoot through his entire body.
"!!!"
Instantly his body twisted in pain as he fell to the hard ground.
Falling to his knees his hands trembled on the dirt while he violently coughed out a mouthful of blood.
He realized it was the same pain he felt before, it was as if he was being torn apart. The woman seemed to have applied the same technique she had used before when he passed out.
His dark eyes were silent but bitter as he strained to look up at the woman.
What he didn't know, was that the technique applied to him was a painstakingly difficult technique for widening one's meridian's.
Yes, the technique was a difficult one that required quite a bit of mastery, not only that but it was also an extremely painful and gratuitous technique, almost no one ever used it.
Why was that?
Because in order for the technique to be successful, you would not only need someone who could masterfully apply it, but you would also need someone willing to transfer their own Qi to the recipient for the process to be successful.
And who would be stupid enough to donate their own Qi to someone else?
Practically no one.
Except for the Villain...
Gazing down at Jun he was still bent over coughing up blood. His dark eyes suddenly glared up, deep and gloomy.
For a moment the Villain felt a slight surge of guilt, after all they had been companions in the last three worlds together, he was the only one she had never acted villainous towards...
Still she quickly hardened her heart, she didn't dare reveal that she was actually helping him.
No, instead she inwardly sighed before donning an evil grin. She was still the Villain, that fact would never change, even if she was helping him her actions were cruel, she deserved no sympathy, nor would she ask for any.
That was right, she was the Villain, so she would play the part.
With sadistic evil eyes S looked down on him.
"Still hesitating to do what I say? Ha, I can always apply the painful technique over and over again."
The young man's face was pale as blood dripped from his mouth. Although his eyes were dark and bitter, he learned long ago to give up on useless things like pride.
After a second of hesitation he did what the woman said, he slowly bent down on his knees and lightly lifted S's clean sandaled shoe.
With gentle movements he did as she wanted and placed a slight kiss on the tip of the sandal. Even though he did as he was instructed his eyes still stared up with a silent fierceness.
After finishing, his now "Sensei" looked down on him with a cruel smile and cold eyes. "Good, now that you know your place mutt, since you followed my instructions I will teach you your first technique."
Roughly she pulled the young man to his feet before playing her role of Sensei and instructing.
"Close your eyes and focus, concentrate on all your limbs and slow your breathing." Although he knew doing such a thing was already useless he did as the woman commanded.
"Now concentrate on your breathing and blood flow, search deep inside your body for the circulation of energy. Once you find it, concentrate on it."
The teen did as he was told, he didn't expect much as he simply concentrated, yet after a few minutes he was suddenly astonished to find fragments of energy flowing within his body! He really wasn't a waste...? He had his own Qi!?!
He suddenly grew confused with excitement.
What he didn't know was that this Qi, was the Qi the Villain had previously transferred to him when he was unconscious.
Seeing the youth's excitement the Villain's dark eyes once again unknowingly softened.
She remembered the despair she had seen in Jun's eyes at the end of the last world, it had effected her more then she liked to admit. Seeing his excited expression calmed her heart. She never wanted to see him make such a despaired expression again...
That's why she decided she would definitely make him hate her in this world. She would do what she had to in order to ensure he hated her, that way he could easily live on when she left.
It was a cruel tactic, but she was the Villain.
She was used to using cruel tactics in order to achieve her goals, that's why she would disintegrate all of Jun's trust in her.
..........
As the Villain continued to look at the excited young man, she sighed. She knew she couldn't let his happiness continue any longer, lest he associated her with the positive memory.
No, she had to completely make him despise her.
That's what it meant to be a Villain.
"Are you almost done you pathetic mutt?" She looked towards Jun with cruel taunting eyes.
"If you are then try again, summon your Qi and practice over and over, practice till your body is strained, practice till every muscle is sore, practice till you're so exhausted you can't practice anymore, haha only then will I be closer to killing you and devouring your Qi."
The younger man's eyes flickered from his previous excitement to silent anger.
As the Villain saw this she had one thought.
"Good."
Like his she silently leaned against a tree.
Now that she knew her method of giving him Qi was successful, she would continue to do so every night in the future. She would play her part as the Villain while making Jun an immortal, only then could she calmly die without regrets.
.........
S showed Jun back to the little wooden hut.
"This is your room from now on. Feel free to try escaping, just know that the moment you step foot off this summit I will know and easily find you."
Truthfully he hadn't contemplated such things, he had seen the woman's strength and was certain even if he tried to run it would only end in utter failure.
Even if he did escape, he had nowhere else to go...
Instead he had gained a little vigor today, for the first time in his life he had been told he could become powerful. He actually possessed Qi.
For now he would accept the woman as his Sensei, but in the future he would make her pay...
With that in mind he clenched his fist making the silent vow as his cold black eyes swirled with darkness.
"Continue practicing your Qi refinement, I shall go cultivate on my own for now." S walked to the door before pausing and pointed. "Once the sun fully sets, go to the bigger wooden hut and wait outside, if you are not there you will feel a familiar pain." With that last cruel remark S swiftly flashed away from the small wooden hut as she went off on her own.
After all she had kept that other man waiting for quite awhile...
