"Hoo ............"

Closing her eyes and feeling the warm flow of water, Xana felt her restless mood begin to calm down.

This may have become her habit, recalling that every morning when she and Fang Zheng were training, she would be beaten and crawled all over the ground. Then take a hot shower to clean up her body, and during this time period, she will also think carefully about what mistakes she made today, why she failed, how to change her shortcomings, and then ......... Knock the square down!

At first, it was just because I was unwilling, but then I gradually developed a habit. Because of this, Xana is now less resistant to taking a bath, which she originally thought was a waste of time. In the past, she would only use the Purifying Flame to remove the dirt from her body and restore her spirit and strength, because at that time, she only thought that bathing was a useless, time-wasting act.

But now, she doesn't think so. With the current of water washing over her body, Xana can feel the deep restlessness in her heart, as well as the unwillingness and troubles caused by failure, as if they were washed away with the current, and replaced by a sense of comfort as if she had been reborn.

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

"You did it on purpose."

And while Shana was immersed in thought, in the living room, Arastel was also asking. As a contractor, he can certainly feel the changes in Xana's inner feelings, which makes Arastel quite surprised, he knows very well that his contractor is not a weak person, but being able to clean up his mood in such a short time and be able to cheer up is obviously beyond Arastelle's expectations for Xana.

Of course, as a demon god who has lived for thousands of years, Arastel is not completely incapable of seeing through Fangzheng's thoughts. You know, when Fang Zheng forced Xana to take a bath at first, Arastel just thought he was just playing tricks on the child. But now, it seems, unconsciously, that this has become a habit of Shana.

"That's right."

While playing with the box in his hand, Fang Zheng looked at the pendant that Xia Na threw on the table.

"People, you have to have something to relax, the little girl is just too nervous, and she tightens herself like clockwork all day long, which is not good for physical and mental health. Eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, relaxing, combining work and rest is a normal way of life. ”

"But, that kid is a fire mist warrior."

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

And in the face of Arastel's rebuttal, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"If you want to say that, then Xana won't cry? Still won't laugh? Won't you be angry? Still won't be nervous? Even if it's a robot, after a long time, it will still think about the dead logic loop of 'who am I'? Even if you are a hero who saves the world, you have to dance with the princess, and if you relax, you won't destroy the world. ”

"Woo..............."

Hearing Fangzheng's rebuttal, Arastel didn't know what to say for a while.

"People are people, I remember that according to what you said, the Fire Mist Warrior is just a human who signed a contract with the Red World Demon King, isn't it still a human after all? You will be angry, you will be angry, you will be sad, and you don't necessarily have a strong power, and the whole person will become a stone, and all poisons will not invade......... Are you like that, Arastre? ”

“…………………”

This time, Arastel was really speechless, as a demon god, and one of the three most powerful demon gods among the Red World Demon Kings, it also had its own feelings. However, the long years had already made it accustomed to restraining its feelings, but even so, Arastel could not conclude that he was an emotionless stone.

But.........

If it was just an ordinary human in front of him, then of course Arastel had a hundred opinions to refute him, but the other party was an existence whose strength was no less than that of the most powerful Fire Mist Warrior, so it would be completely different.

Are we doing something wrong?

Thinking of this, Arastel couldn't help but think back to the days when he raised that girl in the Heavenly Dao Palace, at that time, it seemed that their idea was correct, but now, Arastel was not so convinced. Although there are some differences, Fang Zheng is "educating" Xana in a completely different way than they thought, and more importantly, the results are remarkable.

She is becoming more and more like a strong and brave warrior, and she is also getting closer and closer to the expectations of Arastel and others. But the difference is that she has not become an emotionless machine, on the contrary, the girl has shown far more emotional reactions during this time than when she wandered elsewhere before. She would lose her temper, get angry, and complain, which had once seemed to Arastre to be an obstacle to the girl's goal, but now, under Fangzheng's hands, these seemed to be her source of motivation.

"Click."

Just as Arastel was thinking, the bathroom door opened again, and the girl who had finished her bath walked out of it.

"Arastre......... Fangzheng, what are you doing? ”

"Let's talk about the philosophy of life."

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

"Alright, now that you're done taking a shower, come here, girl, do you want to play a game of Gwent with me?"

“…………………？”

Faced with Fangzheng's invitation, Xana tilted her head, revealing a puzzled expression.

"Does that make any sense?"

"Everything in the world has meaning, and playing cards is the same, don't think it's just ordinary entertainment, if you use it well, you can also get the same combat experience from it."

"Really?"

Sure enough, hearing this, Xana suddenly lifted her spirits and sat opposite Fangzheng.

"Well, I'm going to try!"

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

Looking at the girl with a smile in front of him, Arastel still didn't say a word, although he felt that Fang Zheng was just talking nonsense, but soon, he found that what the other party said was not a pretext.

"Playing cards is like fighting."

Fang Zheng waved the card in his hand and looked at the girl in front of him with a smug smile.

"Like this, before the battle started, we didn't know what cards each other had in each other's hands and how they were going to play, so we ......... The first thing we have to do is to be tempting. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng played a card.

"Do you want to follow?"

"Of course!"

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

"This is the process of the two sides fighting each other and starting to prob, as if fighting. I make a move, and you choose to resist it, or follow up......... Then come again............"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng drew a card and played it again. And Xana also bit her lip, and another card followed. Then Fang Zheng also continued to play cards, and Xia Na continued to follow.

"Just like that, the intensity of the battle will increase."

Playing a card again, Fang Zheng smiled proudly.

"So, do you still want to follow?"

“…………………”

This time, Xana fell silent, frowning as she stared at the cards in her hand, and after a few moments, she couldn't help but pout.

“pass。”

"Okay, then I won."

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

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

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

In the face of the girl's angry inquiry, Fangzheng's smile still did not change in the slightest.

"If you continue to follow, then I will lose, but you chose to give up, why? If you think about it, it's because you're scared by me, and you think that the cards in my hand are infinite and will always suppress you, so you chose to surrender......... Isn't it the same with fighting? You perceive that your strength cannot be compared to that of the enemy, so you choose to retreat. So, how do you make sure that the other person is really at ease? Or is it a bluff? ”

“…………………”

Hearing this, not only Xana was dumbfounded, but even Arastel was speechless in surprise.

Originally, they didn't think that they could gain any experience from pure entertainment, but now after listening to Fang Zheng's explanation, they realized that even if it was just an entertainment activity, there was such a deep knowledge of combat in it.

"As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, and becoming strong is not just about fighting, entertainment, cooking, even painting, there is a common experience in it. The question is whether you can use that experience rather than memorizing it. Combat is not only a clash of strength, but also a clash of wits. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng picked up the cards on the table and waved his hand at the same time.

"Alright, that's the end of today's after-school tutoring, you should go home and sleep. If you have time, go out and play with your classmates, don't look at them as if they are weak and you can kill them with one finger, but if it's a game with certain rules, maybe the other party will beat you and can't find the north. The best way to improve yourself is to communicate with others, so that you can gain something. ”

"Are you the same? Founder? ”

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

"Of course, I still have a lot to learn......... It's like the other teachers in the school, in your opinion, their level is quite low, but for the average student, they are already very good, right? There is nothing to be ashamed of admitting that someone is stronger than you, so that you have the motivation to become stronger. ”

"Of course I know that."

Xia Na blushed at Fangzheng's answer, then she stood up and pulled open the glass door of the balcony.

"I'm going back!"

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

"When will this bear child learn to walk through the door?"
