Three days later, inside Prince Du's Mansion.

"Yah~!" Li Mengnan's cute battle cry came one after another.

She swung the Black Wood Sword again and again, exuding an imposing presence, showing the true style of a Martial Artist!

To be fair, although Li Mengnan and Du Yu both studied under Master Qing, these martial arts skills actually came from Lin Shiwei.

So much so that, whenever Li Mengnan played with sword or spear, or Du Yu fought close combat with a saber, both of them would have a shadow of their enlightenment coach, Lin Shiwei.

Be it their technique, style, or their aura and spirit, both inherited directly from their third little sister.

"Break!" Li Mengnan swung the sword down with a fierce slash, trying to chop up the annoying tree branch.

The supple branch was like a long snake, dodging the sword's edge, using softness to overcome strength.

Although the branch caught the blade, it continued falling, unloading the force while swiftly wrapping around the sword.

Li Mengnan gripped the sword hilt tight and gave it a sharp tug outward!

But... it didn't come out?

Li Mengnan was startled—Oh no!

The power of the Firethorn Tree was definitely not something a mere Demon Tamer could contend with. When the Firethorn Tree stopped going easy, it meant the lesson was over.

And after every lesson, the Firethorn Tree would give Li Mengnan a very special "after-class gift."

The last time, Li Mengnan was even thrown out the window! In between the 10th and 11th floor, a chasing tree branch caught her ankle—scared the girl half to death!

The shriek she let out brought the entire security team of Xishu Garden running over...

"Clang!" The long sword slipped from her hand and clattered to the floor.

Li Mengnan exploded forward with explosive force, quick as a panther, diving for the wooden sword.

"Hoo~"

Suddenly, a Wind-Fire Pillar enveloped the Black Wood Sword.

"Eh?" Li Mengnan's pretty eyes widened. Her hand, reaching for the hilt, only grasped a leaf on the ground.

She turned her head and saw, on the sofa not far away, that Du Yu's wrist was wrapped with a string of Mysterious Runes, sparks popping and crackling from his hand.

Under the suction of the Wind-Fire Pillar, the wooden sword shot toward Du Yu, and he caught it with ease.

"You... hey!" Li Mengnan just opened her mouth to say something when she frantically covered her head.

Endless tree branches turned into little whips, lashing crazily at her from head to toe!

Ts-tsk~ So darn miserable!

Watching his big bro suffer, Du Yu gave her a tragic look.

Those mini whips crackled and snapped—just hearing the sound made him wince!

"Wu wu~ stop hitting!" Li Mengnan hugged her head, curled into a ball, whimpering for mercy.

Who is Firethorn?

The king of bullies among bullies!

Absolutely no idea what "sympathy for the fairer sex" means, nothing in its head but beating up pretty girls!

Li Mengnan covered one end but not the other, getting whipped a couple more times right on the butt...

"Alright, alright." Du Yu spoke up, unable not to recall his own training days when he saw Li Mengnan in such a state.

This kind of training was honestly super humiliating, but the special training effect was the real deal!

Maybe it was exactly this level of shaming that made the students progress so fast—they couldn't wait to become a god in a day and chop the Firethorn Tree to pieces!

Under Du Yu's command, the Firethorn Tree finally withdrew its Divine Techniques.

From its body language, you could read three big words: "So satisfied~"

"You two are bullies!" Li Mengnan grumbled unhappily.

"You'll get used to it." Du Yu chuckled a bit embarrassedly. Ever since he learned Demon Skill · Ghost Firefly Attraction, he's wanted to suck up everything he saw...

Last night when he was taking a shower, his shampoo was a few meters away on the sink. Without thinking, Du Yu just reached out and sucked it over.

In fact, the body wash, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush—all the stuff on the sink got sucked over and landed on Du Yu's head.

Du Yu's version of Demon Skill · Ghost Firefly Attraction wasn't all that powerful.

He couldn't suck up heavy enemies or shred enemy battle robes, so it was honestly pretty meh in real combat.

But as a life hack? Totally top-tier!

The feeling of telekinetically pulling stuff? Du Yu was absolutely in love~

Well, as long as the thing wasn't too far, or too heavy—otherwise he couldn't budge it...

Du Yu stood up, tossed the Black Wood Sword to Li Mengnan, and said, "I'm gonna go climb a mountain, you coming?"

"Thousand Blade Mountain?"

Du Yu nodded: "Yup, I feel like I've trained enough—I can go cat hunting now."

Li Mengnan sat cross-legged, wiping the sweat from her forehead: "I'll stay home, feels like I'm growing faster here.

I've gotten into the flow and don't want to break it."

With the Firethorn Tree, Li Mengnan always felt like she was being attacked from all sides.

What's even more precious, all those ever-present enemies matched her skill; she felt the pressure, but never got crushed.

This kind of battlefield? Absolutely tailor-made! Every Demon Tamer's dream come true!

Looking at the thoroughly abused girl, Du Yu gave her a big thumbs up: "With your perseverance, you're gonna be a real master one day!"

Li Mengnan didn't buy Prince Du's flattery; she just reached down and, in revenge, yanked off a Firethorn leaf: "Stupid Firethorn."

Firethorn Tree didn't get angry, instead poked out a branch next to her face.

Poke~

"Eek!"

"Fine, you train at home. I'm off to hunt cats," Du Yu announced, striding back to his master bedroom and pulling a gray tracksuit from the closet.

The clothes his third sis gave him had already been burned to ash by the Mountain Fire Saber, so he bought this matching sports outfit in the last couple days.

Next time he met Little Shiwei, who knows if he'd get away with it...

"Brother Tree! Bow, phone, papers, car key." Du Yu changed his clothes, strode to the windowsill, and jumped right onto it.

To his right, the Golden Leaf curtain shrank back, not sure what its master was up to.

Soon, the Firethorn branch brought over a bunch of things into the bedroom, thoughtfully handing Du Yu his Orange Juice Bow and stuffing the rest of the items into his pockets one by one.
