The sun soon came and like Huang Liuxing had ordered everyone was up before 7am. It 6:15 am in the morning, the group of teenagers groggily forced their tired bodies to refresh themselves. Twenty-five minutes later, everyone arrived at the dining room and began to eat breakfast. The breakfast wasn't like the luxurious and delicious food at Li Zhong's family's hotel, however, no one complained for fear that they would annoy Huang Liuxing and end not having anything to eat at all. They only had 2 hours of sleep so some kept dozing off.
Twenty minutes later after everyone finished their breakfast, Xiao Bai distributed several documents to them. A boy looked at Xiao Bai in confusion. "Xiao Bai, what are these for?" Xiao Bai spoke coldly with a tone full of impatience, "your training schedule."
Everyone immediately looked up at him and then hurriedly flipped through the papers.
In the morning climbing the mountains on mount Huashan. Then have a 30 minute lunch break. Then muscle training in the afternoon for 4 hours. Practicing martial art all the way up to dinner time. After dinner, endurance training for 2 hours. After that they were free to spend the rest of their evening however they like.
"...."
This is overkill!
They wanted to scream at Huang Liuxing, but they didn't dare to say a word. They had already pissed off Huang Liuxing, annoying her any further would do them more harm than good. They could only grit their teeth and bare it. Xiao Bai noticed their dejected expressions, he hesitated for a moment then finally spoke to them in a slightly gentler tone, "don't worry about it too much. If you persevere and get the tasks done within the time specified, you'll be able to play and eat as much as you like."
"..."
'Xiao Bai... we know you mean no harm, but please don't remind us about that!'
Although they knew Xiao Bai meant no harm and was only trying to comfort them, they just couldn't help but feel pathetic! It was like saying they are weak loser who don't deserve to rest or eat and should only focus on training.
This wasn't the military! Why do they have to work so hard?!
The culprit Huang Liuxing entered the living room and ordered them to get going. A boy asked her curiously, "boss, aren't you going to eat yet?"
Huang Liuxing shook her head, "I've already eaten."
... Since when?!
When they woke up they all noticed that Huang Liuxing did not come to the dining room for breakfast. So how could she have eat breakfast?
Huang Liuxing guess what the boy was thinking and immediately cut off his thoughts, "I woke up a five o'clock this morning to eat breakfast." She added sarcastically, her tone slightly disdainful, "you think I'm like you, who couldn't even get up early in the morning and waste time yesterday?"
The boy: "..."
Xiao Bai: "..."
'I knew it. Boss is really holding a grudge because of what happened yesterday' Xiao Bai thought to himself.
He definitely had to be very cautious these next few months. Who knows what else might anger this little ancestor and cause everyone to suffer!
Li Zhong's eyelids drooped and there was a sneer on his lips. He couldn't wait to see her Huang Liuxing would torture them. Because of them, he too had to suffer from Huang Liuxing's wrath. If they didn't suffer enough, he would help to increase their pain!
Xiao Bai suddenly felt a chill up his spine. Why did it feel like something terrible would happen?
Sure enough, Xiao Bai's premonition proved to be correct.
When they climbed to the mountain peaks, Li Zhong continuously made it difficult for the gang. He would either pretend to fall and push a member off the cliff or he would purposely step on their hands while they are climbing up the mountain, using the excuses, "oh sorry, I didn't see you there!" Or "you were in the way, I almost lost my footing because of you you!"
Xiao Bai could tell that Li Zhong was taking out his anger out on them. But he did not point it out aloud since he too was also slightly annoyed at the members for being too lazy yesterday.
'Step'
Stepping onto Xiao Bai's hands, Li Zhong gives him a provocative stare. "Oh my, didn't see you there, I thought that I was stepping on the slope~"
Xiao Bai: "..."
'He definitely did that on purpose'.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at Li Zhong.
Xiao Bai: 'what did I do to you?'
Li Zhong: 'you obviously couldn't control the members, so it's entirely your fault that I got punished too. Therefore you deserve it.'
As the two continued to argue with each telepathically, others noticed the tense atmosphere.
Were these two going to duke out? While climbing the mountains?!
They dearly hoped that they were wrong, if those two really decided to fight it out, they would be the ones to suffer the aftermath. They cherished their lives you know?!
In order not to become the unlucky victim, all the members hurriedly climbed up the mountain trying their best to pass by the two big buddahs.
Meanwhile, Huanga Liuxing climbed much further than them. She slid down a slope and directly jumped down. She ran carefreely up a path for a while, then proceeded to climb up the brae[¹]. After a while, Huang Liuxing finally reached the top of the mountain, as she was about to continue to climb on the the next mountain, she took a glimpse of the magnificent view.
The clouds in the sky ahead of her enveloped taller mountains, it looked very mysterious and breathtaking beautiful. There were more larger mountains ahead of her. She want to explore these mountains and discover more of it's beauty. However, she knew that she couldn't do that. She came here for a purpose, and that was to increase her stamina and sharpen her five senses.
When the training was over and she had successfully defeated the leader of the Abyss, she would come here again to explore the deeper parts of moun Huashan.
...
After 3 hours of climbing the mountain, everyone climbed down the mountain, it was around 1:20pm, this time they made sure to prepare lunch ahead of time so once they came down the mountain, they began to eat their lunch before heading back to Huayin City.
Huang Liuxing was the last to come down the mountain so she had to wait to get her lunch. No one was really worried about her. She was just that capable, afterall, they knew that she wouldn't force them into this kind of training if she herself couldn't handle it.
After getting her lunch, Huang Liuxing gracefully sat down and quietly ate her sandwich. The sun shone directly on her face but she didn't seem to be bothered by it. At this moment her skin seemed to be translucent like ice jade. Her cold but careless expression was all the more beautiful. It was as if her face was personally sculpted by the gods.
They sighed in their hearts, the boss is so beautiful and talented. Yet her only flaw is that... she was too violent. No guy dares to confess too her because of her violent temper.
The last guy who bravely confessed to her got all four limbs broken. Since then, no one dared to confess to Huang Liuxing again for fear that she might send them directly to their grave.
The heavens gave her unparalleled beauty and outstanding talents, yet she doesn't appreciate it. Sigh, it was really too sad.
In this lifetime, their boss would probably remain single for the rest of her life.
brae[¹] = a slope or the side of a hill
