So I'm a sheep.

"When the water gets hot, take off your clothes and get into the pot."

"..."

"What?"

"Don't let your butt touch the bottom of the pot, or it will get hot. I'll keep an eye on the heat for you."

"No, third brother, are you going to boil me?!"

"I don't eat people, why would I cook you?"

The third brother shook his head: "The medicinal herbs that the chief prepared for you have arrived. From now on, you will have to boil them in the pot every day."

Seeing Sasha staring at him with wide eyes, the third brother said seriously, "I'm not kidding, the medicinal herbs that the boss got are more valuable than gold."

"Your body is still developing, so this is the best time to apply the medicine."

More expensive than gold? That's outrageous!

and......

"Why is the boss being so nice to me?"

“He beat you up in the mountains before, you know he’s petty, so this is to make it up to you.”

The third brother said with a smile, "We're brothers and sisters, so let's not hold grudges overnight."

...................................

grumble

Sasha held her breath in the pot for a while before popping her head out again: "Third brother, can this dark, sticky water really cure the body? And it has a strange smell."

"Hmph, when I was young, I had to fight to the death for this pot of water!"

"Stop making a fuss and just enjoy it quietly."

"Oh......"

The girl remained silent for a long time, but the third brother couldn't hold back any longer.

What are you thinking about?

"I'm wondering, if I put my emotions into the sword, why doesn't the sword slow down, but instead speeds up?"

"..."

"Hey, that's just Lao Wu's twisted logic!"

The third brother scoffed: "He exaggerates his sword-drawing skills to the skies, but isn't it just a matter of practicing more?"

"Practice makes perfect!"

"That's really not it."

Sasha said seriously, "Continuous practice can gradually improve the speed of drawing the sword, but there is a limit to it."

"Now the fifth brother has clearly exceeded this limit! Moreover, the fourth brother also agrees with his theory."

"Isn't it?!"

The third brother looked surprised: "The fourth brother is an honest man. Logically speaking, he is the least likely to agree with the fifth brother's twisted logic."

"Hmph, they're best friends now."

Huh?

Volume 1: Chapter 634 Fulfilling the Mission

Sasha excelled in every aspect, from eyesight and hand strength to body coordination. Whether on flat ground or on horseback, she could hit the bullseye whenever she drew her bow.

However, the girl's archery skills still couldn't compare to those of the fourth brother.

There was always something missing between the two, which, according to Lao Wu's summary, was—enlightenment!

“Fifteenth brother, whether you draw your sword or shoot an arrow, you lack awareness.”

The swordsman shook his head and said, "A sword/arrow without enlightenment is a dead sword/arrow, and can never be compared with a living sword/arrow."

"The third brother says your theory is nothing but fallacy and heresy!"

"Hey!"

The swordsman immediately objected: "You can call my theory fallacious, but first she has to be able to block my sword-drawing technique and the fourth brother's arrow."

"I'll accept it if I can stop them, after all, I'm not as skilled as them."

"But she can't stop people from being prejudiced? That doesn't make sense."

"..."

Sasha was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked curiously, "Fifth Brother, you're only powerful when you draw your sword, so why is Fourth Brother so powerful with every arrow?"

This is the problem.

The swordsman was stunned for a long time, stammering and unable to give a coherent answer.

"Fourth Brother, what is your understanding?" The girl looked at the taciturn man again.

"Well, it's nothing."

"Once you draw the bow, you have to hit the target!"

Sasha nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Fifth Brother, you always talk about enlightenment, but isn't it just a kind of intense emotion?"

“You have infused yourselves with emotion, which is why you can unleash ‘divine skills’ beyond imagination.”

"Victory is achieved with a single strike; the enemy is defeated with a single sword."

"Once the bow is drawn, it must hit the target!"

"Comparing the two, I personally feel that Fourth Brother's feelings are purer."

The girl's words deeply moved the swordsman, who murmured, "Fifteenth Brother, do you mean the purer and simpler the feelings, the better? My feelings are too complicated, which is why I can't use 'drawing sword technique' in every sword strike?"

"Just take a little as a reference."

Sasha shrugged: "I can't actually use any divine skills, I can only be a theorist."

.....................................

Back in the house, without the third brother reminding her, Sasha dug herself into the pot.

"Why aren't you complaining today? You've tasted the sweetness now?" the third brother said with a hint of teasing.

"I rode a horse for half a day and practiced archery for a whole day, but I'm not tired at all now."

"The boss's medicine is actually quite something!"

"Haha, it's still early days, so the effects aren't yet apparent."

The third brother said with a smile, "Two years from now, the fifteenth brother will be completely transformed."

"..."

"What exactly is the boss after?"

You think I'd tell you?

Okay, Sasha held her breath and buried herself in the big pot.

grumble

The next day, as soon as the girl arrived at the village entrance, she loudly announced, "I'm here to follow Lao Wu's 'twisted logic'!"

"I knew you'd want to try it. Let me make it clear beforehand, I don't have any tricks to teach you." The swordsman curled his lip.

"Well, that's fine too."

Infuse weapons with emotion, with intense emotion.

Sasha suddenly slapped herself twice hard, her anger surging forth.

"what!"

Sword Drawing Technique!

"clap clap"

The fifth brother clapped his hands vigorously: "Almost there, almost there! You're quick to draw your sword!"

"Two more times, two more times!"

They were obviously mocking me. How awful! I'm so angry.

Sheath it, draw your sword!

"The speed is about the same as before, it seems I have no choice but to slap him."

"Fan it! Fan it!"

"No, stop making a fuss." The fourth brother couldn't stand it anymore.

"Cough, Fifteenth Prince, Fifteenth Prince, stop!"

The swordsman ran over and said, "I don't think slapping someone will do any good."

"It should be an emotion that flows from the depths of one's heart, not the kind of anger that is provoked by slapping someone."

"Ha~"

......................................

Sasha tried various methods over the course of a month, but all of them failed.

She was very unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

What exactly is this so-called emotion that wells up from the depths of one's heart?

The very first step was completely blocked, let alone infusing such emotion into the weapon.

"It's normal to hit a bottleneck. You can't expect your skills to improve indefinitely, can you?"

The third brother comforted him, saying, "You're already very strong. Once your second growth spurt is over, your strength will increase even more."

"By then, even the Fifth Brother's sword-drawing technique might not be able to suppress you, let alone the First Boss. What more could you ask for?"
