——(POV third person, Hu Anjing\'s tent)——

Hu Anjing was having an internal struggle after hearing that she is going to marry Li Huang. She tried to progress their relationship in the trial and she was successful in that regard but she knew that if the news of this matter reaches her master, she would be in one hell of a problem.

As she was thinking of such things, Li Huang thought in silence about the problems that might happen and how he could handle them. Before he would go with having everything so that he can win the fight, but after the fight with the Evil God, Guanyu, Li Huang knew that he has to learn to improvise more as you can\'t always solve your problems by throwing money at them.

…Well, you can but you might not have enough money to solve that problem.

"…When are we going to get married?" Hu Anjing asked. She wanted to plan for it so it was important for her to know when it is going to happen.

Li Huang looked at her face and with a simple look, he could understand that it was too sudden for her so he decided to clarify his words more.

"We won\'t get married right now but this is something that we should eventually do." Li Huang said. He planned to make Hu Anjing forget about the war and his involvement and that worked.

Hu Anjing nodded as she was relieved that she had some time to convince Yuan Jia that she didn\'t know that Li Huang would be \'forced\' to marry her because of the [Mortal body transcendence formation].

"Alright, this is all I wanted to talk about. For now, get some rest." Li Huang smiled and put a hand on Hu Anjing\'s back and patted her back lightly.

"I will." She said with a bright smile.

He then walked toward the door to exit her tent and Hu Anjing followed him to wave him goodbye.

Just as he was about to open the door and walk outside, Li Huang turned and looked at Hu Anjing.

"Oh, and there was this too!" Li Huang said.

He looked at her face, when he moved his eyes to her lips, her lips were already parted like she wanted to ask him a question but he didn\'t let her voice her thoughts. He locked lips with hers and didn\'t push further and let the moment convey his feelings.

Hu Anjing who didn\'t expect this parted her lips more because of the shock and that helped Li Huang in his quest. It didn\'t take a second for her to melt into the kiss as it was certainly different from what she had experienced in that formation.

The kiss lasted a few seconds but to her, it was like an eternity. She only noticed that the moment has passed when she couldn\'t feel Huang\'s lips on hers. She didn\'t even hear Li Huang saying goodbye as she just absentmindedly answered him.

As Li Huang was going toward his tent, Hu Anjing was touching her lips with her fingers while she was looking at Li Huang\'s back. Her cheeks couldn\'t help but redden when she could think clearly about what happened.

On the other side, Li Huang reached his tent.

\'I need to grow a few more centimeters…\' was what Li Huang was thinking about when he entered his room. He was a few centimeters shorter than Hu Anjing and it made it a little hard for him to kiss her.

Thinking about the training that would help him in gaining more height, Li Huang drifted to sleep.

——(POV third person, present day)——

"I don\'t know how, but… this medicinal bath somehow feels more relaxing… than how it used to be…" Li Huang said as he was neck-deep in the basin but you could not find the smallest signs of discomfort on his face, he seemed more at ease if anything.

"HAHA, yes. After this training… anything would be relaxing…" Cai ZhenKang said as he too seemed to be enjoying himself. In reality, he was in so much pain when they were training with Li Long that this pain is nothing but insignificant when compared to that. On the other hand, their pain receivers were so used to high amounts of pain that they wouldn\'t even register this pain worthy to be received by them.

"Couldn\'t agree more!" Li Huang said as he too could feel that he almost doesn\'t feel anything.

The training was so harsh that in the earlier days they had difficulty accepting that a single training session was held on one day instead of a week or more. Even for Li Huang who had experienced slower time passage in the trial, it was hard to believe that they were training only for a couple of hours because his body would hardly respond to his commands.

Their training consisted of getting beaten and then more beating. If it wasn\'t for the improvement that Li Huang and Cai ZhenKang could see in themselves, they could swear that Li Long was just using this chance to beat them. At least Li Huang could name a reason or two for this so he didn\'t think this was that unwarranted. Fortunately, his thoughts were not completely true as he could feel the Qi in his body moving with more ease after a week of training.

…

After half an hour they had absorbed the herbal mix and now the bath was useless to them, they knew that staying in this bath any longer would have the opposite effect. Everything has to reach balance, this is one of the main principles in nature. Now that they have absorbed the effects of the herbal mix, the mix is now bare from any and every chemical that made it useful so if you were to stay here any longer it would try to balance this out by taking those chemicals from your body. Just like how distilled water would take minerals in a mix to create balance.

"Let\'s get some sleep…" Li Huang said as he walked toward a room in this training ground. His feet wouldn\'t allow him to walk very long so he opted to put a room here and stay here. It wasn\'t that he didn\'t want the whole sect to know about his sorry state, he simply was unable to reach his destination if he had to walk to his courtyard.

"Yeah, I\'m a bit tired." Cai ZhenKang said and moved toward his own room. He asked Li Huang to give him a room too as he didn\'t have such a thing in his storage ring. To no one\'s surprise, Li Huang had a couple of portable rooms like this to spare so it wasn\'t difficult for him to give one to Cai ZhenKang.

They just nodded weakly to each other as they didn\'t want to waste any more of their energy. Cai ZhenKang opened his door and the next instant, he was on the floor, snoring. He was so tired that he didn\'t make it to his bed.

Li Huang heard the noise but he too didn\'t have enough energy to go and help Cai ZhenKang so he went and plopped on his bed. The last time that he had slept on his courtyard was the first day that they had returned to the heavenly sword sect.

On that day, he talked to everyone from Ye Ling and Lai Xinyue to Dai Bao and Mo Hui. After what happened in the trials, everyone was motivated to train more as they didn\'t want to ever feel the same way that they did in the face of the beast hordes.

Li Huang also talked with her senior sister, Yuan Jia. She examined him to see if he is harmed in any way and demanded that he tell him everything that happened in the trial. Li Huang obliged but omitted everything that happened in the formations as there were some parts that he didn\'t want to disclose right now. After getting her fill of hugging him, Yuan Jia let him go and train with Li Long.

\'It has only been a week but that memory seems so distant…\' Li Huang thought as exhaustion overwhelmed him and he fell fast asleep.
