Chapter 89 - The Training 3

Theresa woke up once during the massage but then went back to sleep with a sigh of contentment.

It feels really good to have someone care about you.

Theresa had gone into a beautiful wonderland where she dreamt about Dorothy reviving and carrying out her wish.

Author: "Note that Dorothy is Theresa's future phone system that had shut down due to Theresa's inability to cultivate. The system will automatically revive when she reaches the Foundation builder stage.

As she was about to receive her wish, which was a bowl of popcorn, she felt her body go cold.

Theresa opened her eyes to see Long Ren standing beside her bed on the right with a small wooden bucket that is currently half filled.

Even though Long Ren could see that she had opened her eyes, he still poured more chilly water from the pool on her head drenching her from head to thigh.

Theresa clenched her hands into fists underneath the blanket and tried to hold herself back from punishing him with periods.

However, it could be seen from her eyes that she was at the verge of tearing Ren to pieces.

"How....dare..you?" she asked.

"Mistress, you seem so forgetful. I thought I told you before my short departure that you will officially cultivate tonight. I've tried waking you up with a stick but you didn't budge so I used water"Ren explained.

Theresa sized him up and saw that he was now wearing scholar clothes.

His current demeanor, however, doesn't match the clothes.

A scholar should be humble and virtuous but Long Ren has never been any of both.

One could say that Long Ren would be the shame of the scholars.

Theresa reluctantly got down from the bed and put on her shoes.

Her clothes had been changed 4 hours ago by her mom, Ye Feng after the massage so the shoes, of course, were a new pair.

Theresa arranged the wet blanket and stared at Ren.

He smiled and pointed his finger at her.

Faint red light emitted from his index finger and Theresa felt her hair and clothes dry up.

After 2 minutes, Ren put down his finger and left the room.

Theresa walked after him uncertain of what she'd face next.

************

I n the secluded room...

Theresa sat in Budha pose according to Ren's instructions.

"Clear your thoughts, mistress"Ren ordered.

"Ok" Theresa replied along with a nod.

Theresa exhaled deeply and freed her thoughts.

"Now I leave you to your uncertain fate. See you tomorrow. Even if you have a broken leg or spinal cord for sure I promise to still call you mistress"Long Ren said finally before disappearing.

Theresa did not mind his words and closed her eyes.

That pet is really of no use in helping one learn cultivation.

It's a good thing she's read lots of cultivation novels or else she'd be mopping at the ceiling completely at a loss on the next step to take.

Theresa raised her hands a little high above her knees making her look like an earnest beggar.

She tried to sense everything around her even the ants.

What Theresa didn't know was that it took a week for an average cultivator to sense qi and a genius cultivator took 3 or 4 days.

Also, there could be a backlash if one doesn't control the sensed qi properly resulting in either broken legs, broken spinal cord, blindness, loss of memory, crippled dantian or the inability to hear and speak.

This is why it is very necessary to have a teacher by one's side in this critical stage.

Long Ren did not think that Theresa would even sense qi even if she's a genius, soon-to-be cultivator.

He just wanted her to stay awake all night in vain.
