"call…………"

Closing her eyes and feeling the warm water, Shana felt that her restless mood began to calm down.

This may have become her habit. She recalled that every morning when she and Fang Zheng were training, she would be beaten all over the floor by him. Then she would take a hot bath to clean her body. During this time, she

I will also think carefully about what mistakes I made today, why I failed, how to change my shortcomings, and then... beat Fang Zheng down!

At first it was just because she was unwilling to give in, but then she gradually developed a habit. Because of this, Shana is no longer so resistant to bathing, which she originally thought was a waste of time. In the past, she would just

I would use the purifying inflammation to eliminate the dirt on my body and restore my spirit and strength at the same time, because at that time I only thought that bathing was a useless and time-wasting behavior.

But now, she no longer thinks so. As the water washes through her body, Shana can feel the restlessness deep in her heart, as well as the unwillingness and troubles caused by failure, all seem to be washed away with the water.

Instead, there was a sense of comfort like being reborn.

It’s incredible, why do you feel this way?

"You did it on purpose."

While Shana was immersed in thinking, Alastair also asked Fang Zheng in the living room. As a contractor, of course he could feel the changes in Shana's inner feelings, which made Alastair

Quite surprised, he knew very well that his contractor was not a weak person, but being able to clean up his mood and cheer up in such a short period of time was obviously beyond what Alastair had for Shana.

Anticipate.

Of course, as a demon who has lived for thousands of years, Alastair is not completely unable to see through Fang Zheng's thoughts. You know, when Fang Zheng initially forced Shana to take a bath, Alastair just thought he was simply doing it.

Playing tricks on this child. But now it seems that, unknowingly, this has been cultivated into a habit of Shana's.

"That's right."

While playing with the box in his hand, Fang Zheng looked at the pendant thrown by Shana on the table.

"Humans, you have to have something to relax. The little girl is too nervous. She tenses herself up like clockwork all day long. This is not good for physical and mental health. You should eat, drink and play.

You should sleep when you are playing, relax appropriately, and combine work with rest is the normal way of life."

"But, that kid is a Fire Mist Warrior."

"I don't think it's any different from humans."

Faced with Alastair's rebuttal, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"If you want to put it like this, then will Shana not cry? Or laugh? Not angry? Or not nervous? Even if it is a robot, after a long time, it will still think about 'who am I'?

What about the logic circle problem? Even if you are a hero who saves the world, you still have to dance with the princess. Relaxing will not destroy the world."

"Ugh..."

After hearing Fang Zheng's rebuttal, Alastair didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Humans are human beings. I remember that according to what you said, the Fire Mist Warriors are just human beings who signed a contract with the Demon King of the Red World. Aren't they still human beings after all? They may be angry, annoyed, or sad, but they may not be the same.

The powerful power turns the whole person into a stone, invulnerable to all poisons...Alastair, are you like that?"

"………………"

This time Alastair was truly speechless. As a demon god and one of the three most powerful demon gods among the Red Demon Kings, he also had his own feelings. However, after a long time

It has long been accustomed to restraining its emotions, but even so, Alastair cannot conclude that he is an emotionless stone.

but………

If it were just an ordinary human being in front of him, then of course Alastair would have a hundred opinions to refute him, but if the opponent was an existence that was no less powerful than the most powerful Fire Mist Warrior, it would be completely different.

Did we do something wrong?

Thinking of this, Alastair couldn't help but recall the days when he raised the girl in the Palace of Heaven. At that time, it seemed that their idea was correct, but now, Alastair is not so convinced. Although

There are some differences, but Founder is "educating" Shana in a completely different way than what they thought, and more importantly, the results are remarkable.

She is becoming more and more like a strong and brave warrior, and is getting closer and closer to the expectations of Alastair and others. But the difference is that she has not become an emotionless machine. On the contrary, during this period,

Since then, the girl has shown far more emotional reactions than when she wandered in other places before. She will have a bad temper, get angry, and complain. In Alastair's opinion, these are the things that will make a girl mad.

It was an obstacle to her goal, but now, under Fang Zheng's hands, these seemed to be her source of motivation.

"Click."

Just as Alastair was thinking, the bathroom door opened again, and then the girl walked out after taking a bath.

"Alastair...Fang Zheng, what are you doing?"

"Discuss the philosophy of life."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled, then raised the box in his hand.

"Okay, now that you've finished taking a shower, come here, girl, do you want to play a game of Gwent with me?"

"………………?"

Facing Fang Zheng's invitation, Shana tilted her head, showing a trace of doubt.

"What's the point of this?"

"Everything in the world has meaning, and the same goes for playing cards. Don't think that this is just ordinary entertainment. If you use it well, you can also gain combat experience from it."

"Really?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shana immediately cheered up and sat down opposite Fang Zheng.

"Then, I want to try!"

"Come on, as long as you don't cry when you lose."

Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Alastair remained silent. Although he felt that Fang Zheng was just talking nonsense, he soon discovered that what the other party said was not an excuse.

"Playing cards is like fighting."

Fang Zheng waved the cards in his hand and looked at the thoughtful girl in front of him with a proud smile.

"Like this, before the battle begins, neither of us knows what cards the other party has in hand or how they will play them, so...the first thing we have to do is to test."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng played a card.

"Want to follow?"

"certainly!"

Shana glared at Fang Zheng, and then immediately followed without hesitation.

"This is the process of the two sides confronting each other and starting to test, just like fighting. I make a move, and you will choose to resist or follow up...Then do it again..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng drew a card and played it again. Shana also bit her lip and followed up with another card. Then Fang Zheng continued to play cards, and Shana continued to follow up.

"Just like this, the intensity of the battle will get stronger and stronger."

Playing a card again, Fang Zheng smiled proudly.

"Then, do you still want to follow?"

"………………"

This time, Shana fell into silence. She frowned and stared at the cards in her hand. After a moment, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"pass."

"Okay, then I win."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng spread out the cards in his hand, and Shana's eyes widened when she saw the cards in his hand.

"Wait a minute, why are your remaining cards so small?"

"I didn't say it was a big name originally."

Facing the girl's angrily questioning, Fang Zheng's smile remained unchanged.

"If you continue to follow, then I will be the loser, but you chose to give up. Why? Think about it carefully, it is because you were frightened by me. You thought the cards in my hand were infinite, and you would

It has been suppressing you, so you chose to surrender... Isn't this the same in battle? You realize that your strength cannot compare with the enemy, so you choose to retreat. So, how do you confirm that the opponent is really capable? Or is he bluffing?

Woolen cloth?"

"………………"

Hearing this, not only Shana was stunned, but even Alastair was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

They originally didn't think they could gain much experience from pure entertainment, but now after listening to Fang Zheng's explanation, they discovered that even just an entertainment activity contained such profound combat knowledge.

"As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Becoming stronger does not just rely on fighting. Entertainment, cooking, and even painting also contain common experiences. The question is whether you can make use of this experience, not

Memorize and apply things by rote. Fighting is not only a confrontation of strength, but also a collision of wisdom. Just having strength without brains is not enough."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng put away the cards on the table and waved his hands at the same time.

"Okay, today's after-school tutoring is over. It's time for you to go home and sleep. If you have time, go hang out with your classmates. Don't look at them. They seem so weak that you can do it with just one finger.

Kill it, but if it is a game with certain rules, the opponent may beat you to the bottom. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. If you want to improve yourself, the best way is to communicate with others.

Only in this way will you gain something.”

"Is it the same for you? Fang Zheng?"

Hearing this, Shana frowned and looked at the man in front of her.

"Of course, I still have a lot to learn... Just like other teachers in school, in your opinion, their level is quite low, but for ordinary students, they are already very good, right?

As the saying goes, there is always a mountain higher. There is nothing to be ashamed of in admitting that someone is stronger than you. Only in this way can you have the motivation to become stronger."

"Of course I know that."

Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Shana blushed, then she stood up and opened the glass door of the balcony.

"I'm back!"

After saying this, Shana turned around and left with Alastair without looking back. Fang Zheng was left alone sitting on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the cold evening breeze blowing in his face...
