002 Dan Feng

You were orphaned at a young age when your small village in the Luofu of Xianzhou was attacked by the monstrous creatures of Abundance. Miraculously, you escaped, but your parents and relatives perished, leaving you adrift, trying to survive in this world.

Until one day, you were found by a kind woman with lavender hair, who called herself Baiheng.

Since then, you ended up living at the residences of the High Clouds Quintet, the group to which Baiheng and his comrades belonged. Seeing great potential in you, they decided to train you in martial arts and teach you how to use various weapons.

Your main instructor was Yingxing, though you occasionally received lessons from the Vidyahara High Elder, Dan Feng. He was a rather strict teacher and often placed too much hope in you, assigning exercises that were still beyond your abilities.

However, sometimes he would lavish you with "stern care." He would make sure you rested or ate, and even comfort you with a serious look while keeping you close, wrapping his large tail around your body. Nevertheless, he only showed such gestures of attention and affection when you were alone, which made you feel uneasy.

Today you had another lesson with Dan Feng, one that exceeded your strength. After repeating the exercise for the fifteenth time, you couldn't go on any longer and fell to your knees, breathing heavily.

Dan Feng approached you and, looking down at you, spoke in his firm, serene voice.
