Emperor’s Domination

th.
She bowed and said: “Yes, Youn-young Master.’

The old servant then took her away and prepared a place for her to stay.

Once she appeared again before Li Qiye, she had finished bathing and had a refreshing aura.
Her hair was still messy since she had cut it herself.
Nonetheless, it looked cute and delicate when draping down.

Her skin was tan from being out in the sun too long but this didn’t diminish her good features.
Her eyes were round and tall.
Her emotion could easily be seen through them, especially fear.

“Young Master.” She bowed, not knowing what to say while standing before Li Qiye.

“Have a good rest tonight, we start tomorrow.” Li Qiye got straight to the point.

The girl started absorbing the events today.
She realized that this was her new reality now.
All the unhappiness in the past seemed so distant, at least for now.
She had a home right now and a great opportunity to cultivate.

Thus, she woke up very early the next day, waiting for Li Qiye.
She cherished this once-in-ten-thousand-years chance.

“Let’s get started.” Li Qiye smiled and took her to an open spot up the peak.
He taught her a few chants to start.

These lines were very simple.
The girl wasn’t supremely talented or anything but she carefully memorized the words.

In the past, she did everything she could with the cultivation lines she found, repeating them multiple times.
She had a heart yearning for learning so she absorbed everything he taught her.

The old attendant stood there since Li Qiye didn’t explicitly forbid him.
He also carefully listened to the chants.

After she finished memorizing one line, he taught her a simple movement.
Nonetheless, it would take several times before she could copy the move due to her average talents.

Strangely enough, Li Qiye had plenty of patience this time and repeated the move for her.
Afterward, he said: “The lines and the movement happen in unison so study them together.
Take your time.”

“I will try my best.” She nodded with determination.

Li Qiye didn’t say anything else and went to chant in front of the wall painting.

She was freed from any distraction and earnestly trained. 

At first, the old attendant found the lines to be very simple, the same with the movement.
This could be considered an elementary mantra for new learners.

However, the latter part attracted his attention.
When he combined both the lines and the movement, he immediately noticed the innate profundity.

He was a true genius, unlike Fan Bai, so he was capable of learning top merit laws in no time at all.
Combining the lines and the movement opened a new world for him.
Each breath he took during this process was immensely useful. 

It felt as if he was learning from a sacred scripture.
It was up to the learner to see how many pages they could open.

Li Qiye didn’t teach her anything else beyond this.
She never asked either and repeated the training without finding it boring.

She stopped to rest and drink water whenever she was fatigued and thirsty.
She persevered like this for days after days.

Eventually, her movement was flawless and she could easily recite the lines.
