Half a day passed...

Hiss!!!

Bang!

"Ow! Why can't I do it yet? I've tried to balance my energy, but why is it still coming out the same way? Sigh! If today it continues like this, I won't get anything at all!" Zheng-Fu began to feel frustrated at the result that still came out the same, even though he had done everything right.

Sigh!

Another half day passed...

Yaaa!!!

Roaaaaar!!!

Booooom!!! Booooom!!!

"I succeeded!"

After practicing over and over again, Zheng-Fu finally succeeded in transforming an earthen snake into a small dragon. Anyway, it took him a lot of effort and patience to do it. And because he had to use high concentration and a lot of energy, Zheng-Fu started to feel tired and hungry.

"I should stop now, and go home and get something to eat first, then I'll come back and practice again!"

In the courtyard in front of the house...

"Shi-Shi, run slowly, I can't keep up!"

Grrrrr!!!

"If you don't stop, I won't play with you anymore!"

Grrrr!!!

"Very good, Kitty! Simply obey me, be a good boy," Chang-Yue's small voice intermittently sounded as she ran around playing with Shi-Shi. This was her daily routine. When she finished practicing, she would play with it like this. As for Tai-He, he was in the kitchen right now. It was his regular duty to cook every day and evening, or whenever Zheng-Fu or Chang-Yue wanted.

Thump!

"Big Brother, you're back!" At that moment, Chang-Yue saw Zheng-Fu coming down from the cliff and shouted to him before rushing over with a smiling face.

"Chang-Yue!" Zheng-Fu crouched down so that he was the same height as Chang-Yue's body before reaching out and gently stroking her head. "Are you hungry yet, Little Angel? If you're hungry then let's go home!"

"I'm hungry! Now, Brother Tai-He is cooking. It'll be finished in a few minutes!" Chang-Yue replied.

"Then let's wait for Tai-He to cook in the house!" After saying this, Zheng-Fu took the little girl's hand and walked into the house together.

In the hallway of the house...

"Chang-Yue, in two days I've to go to the main academy. I can't take you with me, so you stay here, and don't be stubborn or make trouble for Tai-He, understand?" Zheng-Fu told Chang-Yue once they entered the house.

"I understand, Big Brother! I'll stay here and not be stubborn and keep practicing hard. So that you can take me to Grandpa King and play around in the city again!" Chang-Yue replied simply without fussing or demanding anything from Zheng-Fu. She knew that Zheng-Fu did not go out to play; he went for his own reasons or business that might be so dangerous that he could not take her with him.

"Master, please rest assured. I'll take good care of Little Chang-Yue!" Tai-He said.

"Good then. I won't be gone long. The two of you must practice, can't be lazy. All right, let's eat! Once I'm done eating, I'll have to continue practicing!" Zheng-Fu nodded, satisfied with Chang-Yue's answer and Tai-He's words. And he also reminded the two of them to diligently cultivate. But seeing the two determined expressions, he was relieved. Then they all started eating happily together.

An hour passed, at the clifftop of the mountain where Zheng-Fu resided...

Whoooooooosh!!!

"If you want to say something to me, just come out. You don't have to follow and watch me for two days like this. I'm a human, not a dog, absolutely not biting!"

After finishing his meal, Zheng-Fu returned to the cliff again. Before continuing to practice the Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill, Zheng-Fu sat down to meditate and cleared his mind. However, at that moment, he sensed that the person who had been following him since the day before yesterday was still close to him. He did not know who this person was, but he was sure that the other party had definitely not come to kill him.

Thump!!!

"How did you know that I was hiding around here? A Heavenly Root stage cultivator like you shouldn't be able to sense my presence! Then how do you know?" Suddenly, a black-robed figure emerged from the darkness, standing not far from Zheng-Fu.

"Because I recognize your scent! Miss Black-robed at the secret auction!" Zheng-Fu slowly opened his eyes, staring at the black-robed figure in front of him, who actually was the young woman in black at the secret auction at the Nine Heavens Maneuver Arena.

"You said you weren't a dog, what does it mean that you recognized me because of my scent? Isn't it a dog's personality?" The black-robed young woman was slightly shocked by Zheng-Fu's answer. But soon she came to her senses and spoke fiercely against Zheng-Fu.

"You can think as you want, I don't care! By the way, what do you want from watching me? Don't tell me that you're going to take revenge for causing you to lose the Heavenly-Level Weapon that day. Oh, or do you want me to become your erotic slave!?" Zheng-Fu could not help but provoke her anger.

"You bastard! Can someone like you be able to do that!? If I thought of getting you to do something like that, I'd rather hit my head against a tree! Huh! I came to watch you because I want to know who you really are. Despite not having any big power backing you up, you have so much money. Moreover, you also dare to argue and bid against the important elder from the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan. I can't believe what you're saying is all true. To say that you aren't under anyone and just an outer disciple of the main academy is too unbelievable. Most importantly, your history doesn't exist in any database. So, I've to make sure you're not a spy from evil sects or demon sects in disguise. I, therefore, must investigate your background myself. But I still don't know anything until you sense my existence!"

The black-robed young woman spoke at length as if she had been holding back all day. However, she did not give the whole reason.

"So, that's how it is! Then, did you find anything out of the ordinary, Miss? But wait! Just now, you said that you came because you suspected me, afraid that I would be a spy. And who are you and why do you dare to enter my private mountain? Or do you not know the rules of the sect!?" Zheng-Fu felt that her words were somewhat contradictory. If she were a member of the Heavenly Command Sect, she would know the rule that it was forbidden to enter other people's private areas without their permission. Then why did this young woman sneak into his private mountain?

"As… as for… that matter… I… I know that! And I'm about to leave anyway!"

Flap!!!

After finishing speaking, the black-robed young woman suddenly disappeared. And now, Zheng-Fu could no longer sense her, so he assumed that she had probably left here.

Huh!

"No matter why you came, you definitely won't get anything from me!" Although Zheng-Fu wanted to ask exactly who the young woman was and what she wanted from him, because she was gone, he had to wait for the next opportunity. He was confident that she would not get any real information back because he had already cast all the illusion spells around this mountain.

"Forget it! I better continue practicing the Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill's stance!"

Thump!!!

Yaaaaa!!!

Boooooooom! Boooooooom! Boooooooom!

Zheng-Fu thought that he would spend the night until morning and after breakfast until the evening of the next day practicing the Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill until he could use it with the most efficiency and stability. If he still could not do it, he would then spend the remaining night training as hard as he could.

One day passed, at one o'clock in the afternoon in the courtyard in front of the cliff...

[Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill]

Roooaar!!!

Boooooooom!!!

"I succeeded! I can finally turn it into a real dragon! It's no longer a little dragon or an earth snake, ha ha ha! For the past two days, I've been exhausted! Why didn't I have to practice any skill by myself like this before? Or was it because I neglected to practice and only relied on the divine pills alone? But let it be! Now that I can finally use this skill, all that remains is to practice to become more fluent in it."

Finally, Zheng-Fu was able to release the energy wave and turn it into a dragon. However, every time he performed, there was still a slight stutter. Zheng-Fu thought that he would spend the rest of his time practicing as fluently as possible.

"Tomorrow, the annual disciple-ranking maneuver will start. I have to advance my energy to the first level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage. And I must use Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill smoothly. Hmm! Keep practicing!"

About five hundred meters away...

"Brother Tai-He, do you think Brother Zheng-Fu looks weird? He seems to be talking to himself a lot these days. Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?" Chang-Yue asked after she saw that Zheng-Fu had been muttering alone since the day before yesterday.

"No, it's not like that! Perhaps Master was speaking words of encouragement to himself. I heard him say that tomorrow at Heavenly Command Sect's main academy, there will be a disciple-ranking maneuver. Master practices so hard might be because he'll join this maneuver!" Tai-He shook his head at Little Chang-Yue's thoughts because such a thing could never be true. He was quite sure that Zheng Fu was like this because of tomorrow's disciple-ranking maneuver. He overheard Zheng-Fu talking to himself.

Main academy's disciple-ranking maneuver!?

Shhh!!!

"Lower your voice, Little Chang-Yue! Your voice is too loud! Master will soon find out that we came to spy on him instead of cultivating our skills!" Tai-He hurriedly raised his finger to touch his lips, signaling Chang-Yue to keep her voice low.

Oops!

"I'm sorry, but it's too late, Brother Tai-He. Because now Bro... Brother Zheng-Fu is behind you!"

Huh!!?
