Chapter 14 - Surprised Li Shen

Seeing the sudden changed, Li Shen was quite surprised. He didn't expect Lianxi's fear was practically in the form of an tiger.

Well, this will take quite the time. He knew what the tiger represent.

Inside the illusion world, Lianxi stood still, frozen by fear.

At that moment, she didn't even think that she was a cultivator. And she was more powerful than a mortal tiger.

It was like the moment that tiger appeared, she instinctively felt a huge wave of fear hit her. Like that tiger literally was biggest fear in life.

Standing still frozen by fear, she continued looking at the tiger with eyes widened as the tiger approaches her, step by step.

With each steps, Lianxi's anxious heart became heavy more and more.

Unknowingly, when the tiger was just a few steps away from her, she had turned into a little girl that was about 6 or 7 years of age.

Looking at the scene from outside, Li Shen shook his head. He didn't expect her fear of that disappointment was that huge that she was like a little girl compared to it.

I didn't expect her half a step to be that huge of a gap. But, let's see. Though he was for sure that Lianxi would lose that round of confrontation with her inner fear, he still continued looking—maybe hoping for a change of fate.

Inside the illusion world.

As the tiger was one step away from her, Lianxi heard voices. One, telling her to run away from the tiger.

And the other one, surprisingly, was telling her to not fear the tiger and charge at the tiger bravely.

However at that moment, overwhelmed by fear, Lianxi didn't hear any of those voices. So, she didn't do any of the voices was telling.

She just stood still as the tiger approached her. Then, suddenly it pounced with of rare.

Rawr.....

"Ahhh...." The little Lianxi screamed, immediately closing her eyes and shielding herself with her hands.

Outside world.

Lianxi, who was standing still with a blank expression just a few seconds ago, instantly woke up from her subconscious state with a shocked face.

Gasp...

She immediately took a few fast breathes to calm herself.

By the time she came to her mind and understood what was going on, she immediately looked at Li Shen with anger in her eyes.

"What was that?" She asked with a cold expression, releasing her Realm pressure.

The peak pressure of a Peak Golden Core Realm immediately struck Li Shen like a intensified gravity.

However, under the heavy pressure, Li Shen stood calmly like it didn't do anything to him.

Then, he smiled.

Whoosh...

A counter pressure or a force immediately emanated from his body. And the pressure from Lianxi was immediately canceled like it was child's play.

When Lianxi came to her senses, she immediately realized what she did. And she was also shocked that Li Shen could actually neutralize her Realm pressure. That too from a monstrous genius like her. Someone that could be measure by normal scale.

Even so, she stood her ground and asked again. "What was that?"

This time, Li Shen answered. "It was the training." Simple.

Upon hearing that, Lianxi fell silent. She took a moment to digest and asked again. "How did I- you sent me there? When did I fell into your illusion?"

"Oh, it was simple. The first time we met, you saw my eyes. From then on, I could easily drag you into my illusion — I just chose not to, until now," Li Shen explained calmly.

But, to Lianxi's ears, it was a shocking fact. The moment we met!?

Then, she heard him murmuring to himself. "I mean you wouldn't even notice even if I dragged you into the illusion with your tiny strength of Golden Core, unless you are a Nascent Soul expert."

Hearing him underestimating her strength, Lianxi stomped her feet on the ground and left. "Humph, how dare he make fun of my strength. I'm only 21 and already a Golden Core expert—that too a Peak one. I'm known as one of the ten monstrous genius of our country."

As she walked away, she muttered to herself.

Seeing her leaving in frustration, Li Shen shook his head and shouted. "Oii. You should be here tomorrow the same time. We are not done with your training."

However, Lianxi left the training without even looking back, like she didn't hear it.

After that, Li Shen also left the place and went on with his business.

But, for him, it was all about spending the time doing nothing but just sunbathing the whole day until the sun set. Even then, he was moonbathing.

That night, unlike the first night after arriving, Li Shen sat on top of roof and meditate under the calm and peaceful moonlight.

----

The meeting day, like the first time, Li Shen and Lianxi was facing eachother once again.

This time, Li Shen asked her. "You ready?"

Unlike the first day, Lianxi was calm.

That was because after leaving the training ground yesterday, she went back to her place and digested the feeling and all those emotions she faced during the training.

After that, she found some interesting things and gain some useful things.

She calmly responded. "I'm ready." She nodded and took a breath.

Li Shen nodded and approved her inwardly.

"Here you go." Saying that, he summoned the fog once again and sent her to the Sun and Moon illusion world.

Whoo....

In just a split second, Lianxi appeared inside the world.

This time, she appeared in the middle of nowhere, with dessert surrounding on all sights. Nothing could be seen within the vicinity.

Once again, she could not remember anything. What's going on? Where am I? Why am I here?

Same questions, same confusion.

At that moment, she didn't have any answers to her questions. However, there was one thing she had in her mind, a voice.

A voice telling her to go on forward, bravely.

For a moment, she stood still considering whether she should listen to the voice or not.

At that moment, without any memory of what's going on, she was somewhat terrified.

If anyone were in her shoes, they would to.

Suddenly waking up in the middle of dessert with no one in sight.
