Chapter 107: Chapter 83 One Thought Gives Life

"Ah! Finally figured it out!" She suddenly realized, "This is a straw man!" And it resembles the snowman "Olaf" from "Frozen" so much! With its round body and its chest, belly, and butt divided into three parts!

However, Lord Changtian, your aesthetic judgment is still so terrible...

Changtian gave her a displeased glance, then snapped his fingers crisply.

The straw man on the ground trembled slightly, lifting its two forearms. Ning Xiaoxian could clearly see two branches serving as arms and each sprouting five smaller branches—these were its hands.

Next, the straw man impressively used its hands to push off the ground and stood up. It then broke off two branches from its own body, shortened them, and held them in its hands.

The straw man comes alive! Gosh, in the dead of night, is Changtian trying to make her experience a horror movie live?

"Starting now, it will be your sparring partner." The kettle on the black table began to boil. Changtian leisurely brewed tea, "Whatever moves the whistle used outside, I’ll have this straw man replicate them. Strike while the iron is hot, every night after you’ve practiced, you need to come here and continue training."

No sooner had his words fallen, the straw man raised its hands, holding the branches that served as "Daggers" upside down close to its forearms, standing in an awkward stance. Though just a straw man, it resembled a tense, drawn arrow, coiled yet unlaunched! This posture was exactly the starting stance of the whistle just now!

Oh, God, this demon only watched once and managed to memorize every move of the whistle, and now it was having this straw man perform them on her!

In her mind, she was only marveling, unaware that such a scene would scare other cultivators out of their wits if they saw it. The saying "One Thought Gives Life, One Thought Brings Death," Changtian could bring this straw man to life directly, surpassing the realm of "Creation" and entering the realm of "As You Wish," touching on the mysterious "Life Soul" that all living creatures diligently seek.

But he only used this earth-shaking ability to revive a straw man as a training partner for Ning Xiaoxian. And this girl, tired from training at night, was trying to slack off.

Fifty seconds later, she was caught off guard, and the "Dagger" in the straw man’s hand nicked her shoulder. She gritted her teeth—it hurt so much that a red mark was likely to remain on her shoulder!

"Just now outside, you were hit by this move by the whistle. He flipped the dagger and struck you with the handle. How have you still not learned to behave?" Changtian, with his eyes on a book, spoke with a trace of frostiness and dissatisfaction in his voice.

She pursed her lips in grievance: "I haven’t fully grasped it yet. You’re so harsh, it really hurts!" She whined subconsciously, a knee-jerk reaction completely unrelated to her own will; yes, that’s it!

That’s the voice! He deliberately ignored the flutter in his heart and said indifferently, "Apply some golden sore medicine, and by morning there won’t even be a mark left. Now, continue practicing!"

In fact, he admitted to himself that he did actually like her, but for some reason, he enjoyed watching her suffer a little. Even looking at her smooth, fair face, he felt a desire to sink his teeth into it forcefully, as if to vent the malice in his heart.

It is said that kindergarten and primary school boys like to bully the little girls they fancy, usually until the girl weeps unceasingly. From this perspective, the fearsome Divine Beast and these little kindergarten boys share surprisingly similar ways of expressing affection...

It wasn’t until her hands were too sore to hold the dagger that Changtian declared today’s lesson over. The indefatigable straw man walked over to the corner, crouched down, and then fell still.

But not her, Ning Xiaoxian was panting heavily, unashamedly laying back on the Black Stone ground, using the cool stone slabs to relax herself. Since she and Changtian were so familiar with each other, he surely wouldn’t mind her being so unladylike.

Changtian glanced at her only to avert his gaze—she was sweating profusely, soaking all her clothes which now clung tightly to her body. She was panting so hard, highlighting her curves and dips, an incredibly breathtaking sight.

Once her breathing eased, she then inquired, "Where did the straw come from?" She had followed the merchant team through swamps, hills, and forests, but had never seen a rice paddy.

"You have such a bad memory." He didn’t even look up, "Just yesterday you planted Cloud Fragrant Rice yourself and you’ve already forgotten?"
