In her own tent, Sunier slowly drifted into dreamland. She did not want to sleep, but the sleepless nights for the past few days had exhausted her to the extreme. Besides, Han Jin was here. No matter what kind of attitude she displayed towards Han Jin, there was one thing she could never deny. Han Jin was the first man to open her heart. There was an indescribable feeling. Perhaps, seeing this man would make her pain and bitterness sharper, but her heart would not be so empty.
Han Jin stood quietly in front of the bed made of tree branches, staring at Sunier. He had been standing there for a very long time. As the saying goes, what one thinks in the day, one dreams at night. It could be seen that Sunier's dreams were not peaceful, because her eyebrows would furrow from time to time.
A person's heart would always be soft. The so-called toughness was just to protect oneself, to use a layer of hard shell to cover the easily injured areas. It was like a warrior wearing armor. No matter if it was a man or a woman, they all had a weak side.
Han Jin finally moved. He slowly walked towards Sunier, reached out his fingertips, and gently stroked Sunier's hair. Then, he bent down and kissed Sunier's furrowed brows. Afterward, he quietly backed away, slowly lifted the curtain, and walked out of the tent.
At the same time that Han Jin left, Sunier slowly opened her eyes. In the torment of the illusion in the Divine Temple, her alertness had become exceptionally sharp. Han Jin did not understand what Sunier had experienced. In fact, the moment his fingertips touched the ends of her hair, Sunier had been startled awake. However, she did not move. She looked at the fluttering curtain, and once again, uncontrollable tears flowed from her eyes. Sunier forcefully turned over, hiding her head in the pillow that emitted the fragrance of grass. She also hid her crying face.
Han Jin walked out of the tent and immediately saw Gao Bin. He smiled. "You've been following us all this time, haven't you?"
"Yes." Gao Bin nodded. "I'm not worried about you, but …"
The two of them were speechless. Han Jin thought of Hai Rou 'er and Gao Bin's reaction at that time. Little did he know that Gao Bin was also thinking of Hai Rou' er.
"Oh right, did Yalina also come with you?" Gao Bin suddenly asked.
"Yes." Han Jin said. Yalina had already treated the God of War as another home. Just because they were visiting the elves, it was somewhat inappropriate for her to disembark.
"Why don't I see her?"
"Is it appropriate?" Han Jin asked.
"Hehe …" Gao Bin sighed and said, "I have been admiring your Wargod for a long time. Can you let me go up and take a look? Of course, if it's too late, it's too late.....
"This …" Han Jin was a little hesitant, and his tone became a little forced. "Okay." No matter what, Gao Bin was still his brother-in-law. Everything that he was doing now, excluding the benefits, was to save his relationship with Sunier. Gao Bin's influence in this matter was very large.
The two of them walked out of the campsite side by side and came to the bottom of the God of War. The ship was brightly lit. Although they had already formed an alliance with the elves, they still had to be on guard against them. After all, everyone had already learned their lesson. There were about a dozen mountain warriors and a dozen magicians standing at the side of the ship, vigilantly observing the surroundings for any movements.
Han Jin released the Earth Shrinking Spell, and his figure disappeared. Then, he reappeared in mid-air and stepped lightly onto the God of War. Gao Bin observed Han Jin's movements with interest. Then, he jumped up. When he was about to reach the ship, he tapped his foot on the suspension ladder and jumped up again. He floated onto the deck of the ship.
Guevara, Dominique, Morrisons, and the others had all returned. They were not used to resting in the elven camp. Like Yalina, they also treated this place as their home. Of course, this included Sunier. When they saw Gao Bin, everyone was shocked. Then, they all turned their eyes to an old man. It was Majordomo Gail.
Gao Bin was Sunier's brother. If Sunier was in danger or in trouble, Gao Bin would definitely help her at all costs. Majordomo Gail was undoubtedly Yalina's protector.
Gao Bin saw an unfamiliar old man sitting beside Guevara. Looking at his status, he should be at the same level as Guevara. He thought for a moment and smiled. "Majordomo Gail, right? Nice to meet you. "
Majordomo Gail immediately reacted. Morrisons and the others had talked about Gao Bin before. They said that Gao Bin was the elf who looked the least like an elf. If his thick beard grew on a human's face, it would not attract attention at all. However, when it grew on an elf's face, it was somewhat strange. "Nice to meet you, Gao Bin?"
Gao Bin smiled and nodded. He glanced around and said softly, "It seems that we are still missing a friend …" It was impossible for Gao Bin to not have any hostility towards Yalina. There was a difference between friends and strangers, and no one could completely give up their selfishness. Therefore, he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of woman could make Han Jin cherish her so much.
Even the slowest Morrisons knew who Gao Bin was talking about. Everyone turned their eyes to Han Jin. Han Jin said softly, "I will go down and look for her."
"Come, Gao Bin, sit here," Morrisons University said and patted the chair beside him.
Other than Han Jin, Morrisons, Sassoux, and Stillberg were the ones who had the deepest relationship with Sunier. Morrisons and Sassoux treated Sunier as a friend who had gone through thick and thin together, while Stillberg treated Sunier as his future mistress. Therefore, even though Sunier was in a bad mood, she still reluctantly chatted with these people for a while.
"Sure." Gao Bin smiled.
Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the human world for a long time, but Gao Bin's personality was very straightforward, which was very much in line with Morrisons's temperament. Even if it wasn't for Sunier, he would still want to make friends with Gao Bin. In fact, Sassoux and Léger also thought that Gao Bin was a good person, but they had a layer of concern. Gao Bin had been an all-powerful person for decades, and he had already activated the Mark of God. He was very powerful, and now he was the leader of the elves. If it wasn't for Han Jin, would such a big person like him think highly of them? Sassoux and Léger had their own reservations and didn't want to deliberately make friends with anyone. Morrisons, on the other hand, didn't care so much as long as it was to his liking.
At this moment, Han Jin had already arrived at his' magic laboratory. 'Yalina was meditating in the room, which had already turned into a world of lightning. Countless electric arcs were emitting a faint glow, and occasionally, a narrow, twisted bolt of lightning would appear and disappear in a flash. Due to the influence of the electric arcs, Yalina looked as if she was wrapped in a storm. Her long hair was fluttering in the wind, and her magic robe was also fluttering without any wind. However, she was already meditating, and her expression was very serene, which was a sharp contrast to her ostentatious appearance. But this wasn't important. What was important was that Yalina was sitting in a cross-legged position, which was absolutely authentic. Of course, this was what Han Jin had taught her.
Magic meditation was very similar to cultivation meditation. When all mages entered meditation, they would either sit or stand. They wouldn't sit cross-legged, but would sit in a comfortable armchair so that their bodies could relax and their minds could focus. Mages generally entered meditation in three states: one was when they were very energetic, one was when they were a little tired, and the last was when their magic power was exhausted. The first was the main method of cultivation, the second was to enter a state of meditation sleep, and the last was to replenish their magic power.
Unlike magic, most cultivators entered meditation by sitting cross-legged. This didn't sound like much, but in fact, sitting cross-legged was very important. Because one had to maintain the balance of one's body, it was very difficult to enter the true state of concentration. Sitting on a chair or lying down to cultivate was even more undesirable. In the cultivation world, sleep was often called the Sleeping Devil, to the extent that it could be described as a 'devil'. It could be seen that sleep was harmful to the state of concentration, especially for beginners, who had to avoid it by all means. When Han Jin had first started cultivating, his master had repeatedly told him not to sleep while meditating. Of course, doing so would give him high-quality sleep and make him feel more energetic the next day, but once it became a habit, it would be difficult for him to make any progress for the rest of his life.
Meditation required the body to relax, but it couldn't be completely relaxed. Sitting cross-legged met these two requirements. Because of their different civilization, although Yalina had seen Han Jin cultivate, she didn't realize the benefits of sitting in that way. On the contrary, she thought it was too weird. But at Han Jin's request, she reluctantly changed her habit.
Faint electric arcs flickered at the tip of Yalina's nose. As she breathed, she inhaled and exhaled. At this moment, her body should be full of electric arcs as well.
Perhaps because she sensed Han Jin's gaze, Yalina opened her eyes little by little. When she saw Han Jin, she let out a long breath and said softly, "Why are you here?"
"How long have you been meditating?" Han Jin smiled.
"Probably …" Yalina thought for a moment. "A few hours."
"Didn't I tell you to rest for a while after half an hour?"
"I don't have anything else to do anyway."
"Don't blame me. You brought this upon yourself."
"What?" Yalina didn't understand. She looked up at Han Jin and saw Han Jin's smirk. She hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing." Han Jin walked slowly to Yalina's side. "How do you feel?"
"This posture is too tiring," Yalina said coquettishly. Yalina said coquettishly, "It seems like only ten minutes have passed, and my legs are sore, numb, and painful."
"And then?"
"And then I persevered!" Yalina raised her head, her face full of pride, as if she was telling Han Jin, How is it? I'm strong, right?!
"Yes, yes, very good, very good." Han Jin's smile deepened. "Get up."
"Okay." Yalina responded. She straightened her body, but suddenly froze in place, and her expression changed drastically.
Yalina wanted to move her legs, but they didn't listen to her at all. In a panic, she touched them with her hands and suddenly felt a very strange tactile sensation. Her fingers could touch her legs, and her fingertips could touch them, but her legs couldn't feel anything, as if she was touching someone else's legs.
"Raphael …" Yalina suddenly panicked. "My legs … my legs …" What's going on? Have I become disabled? But I didn't do anything!
Han Jin squatted down and looked at Yalina with a smile. "Who told you not to be obedient? Are you scared now?"
Seeing Han Jin's smile, Yalina was relieved. She knew that if something really happened to her, Han Jin wouldn't be smiling.
"It's okay." Han Jin said, "Have your legs ever been numb before? It's the same principle, but this time it's been numb for too long. "
As Han Jin spoke, he grabbed Yalina's ankle and broke off one leg. When he went to break the other leg, Yalina suddenly screamed, "No …"
Yalina's scream was so ear-piercing that even Han Jin was startled. He looked at Yalina again and saw that her soft little face was twisted into a ball. She was grimacing in pain, and tears were about to flow out. The elegance and serenity she had just now had completely disappeared.
Just now, she had moved her body, and Han Jin had forcibly broken off her leg, so the blocked Qi and blood had begun to circulate. Yalina felt as if thousands of steel needles were constantly pricking her from her toes to her thighs. It was unbearable.
Han Jin cast a few talismans, and a white light disappeared into Yalina's legs. Then, ignoring Yalina's resistance, he grabbed Yalina's toes and began to move them bit by bit. Yalina gritted her teeth and grabbed Han Jin's robe, crying out in pain.
After rubbing one leg, he continued to rub the other leg. After a few minutes, Yalina finally recovered a little. However, her tears were also coming out. If it was just the pain, it would be fine, but there was also an unbearable feeling of numbness, which was even more unbearable than the pain.
"Is it enough?" Han Jin stood up and stretched out his hand to Yalina. "Come, try to stand up." He didn't mean to make Yalina suffer. She couldn't circulate her Qi and blood, so she could only recover slowly.
Yalina bit her lips and put her small hand in Han Jin's palm to stand up. Then, with a scream, her body went limp and she fell into Han Jin's arms. Her feet stood on the floor, and the numbness that should have disappeared became intense again.
"Who asked you to be disobedient? Do you still dare to do it in the future?" Han Jin simply bent down and carried Yalina in his arms.
"You didn't tell me … it would be like this!" Yalina felt wronged.
"Actually, this is nothing. Just grit your teeth and it'll be over." Han Jin comforted her. "Do you know how long I endured the first time I sat like this?"
"How long?"
"A whole day and night." The look in Han Jin's eyes became complicated. "At that time, my … teacher simply tied my hands and feet with magic. At first, it was a little uncomfortable, but I endured it and it was fine. The real pain came after more than ten hours. That feeling … was simply driving me crazy! Although I couldn't move, it was as if I had run for dozens of miles. I was sweating profusely. When teacher removed the magic and let me regain my freedom, I was like you, no … I was even worse than you. I cried for a long time. "
Yalina opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at Han Jin.
"After that, I rested for a day, and then teacher tied my hands and feet again with magic. This time, he forced me to suffer for three whole days. He didn't give me food or water. He just made me sit there." Han Jin sighed.
"Oh my god …" Yalina exclaimed. "Your teacher … is simply inhuman!"
"What did you say?!" Han Jin pretended to be angry. He knew that Yalina didn't mean it, so of course, he wouldn't be angry.
"How could he torture you like this!" Yalina was really angry. If Han Jin's teacher was here, perhaps Yalina would have scolded him regardless of everything.
"Teacher said that my aptitude is not bad, but he doesn't understand my perseverance and perseverance. Therefore, he forced me to pass the first obstacle as quickly as possible because … he didn't have much time left." Han Jin smiled. "And teacher also said that if you can endure hardships that others can't endure, you can do things that others can't do." After becoming his teacher's disciple, Han Jin would occasionally meet other cultivators who understood his teacher's heritage and would always show jealousy. They didn't know how much Han Jin had endured because of this! Of course, it was his luck to be able to gain his teacher's favor, but luck alone was absolutely not enough. His teacher had always been very satisfied with him. Was it because of his luck and aptitude? No, it was because he was satisfied with his efforts and dedication! Especially when he first started learning, he spent all his time and energy on cultivation. He didn't even forget to read a book while eating.
Other cultivators were only interested in his circumstances and deliberately ignored his sweat. Perhaps this was the essential difference between the weak and the strong.
"I understand … I understand," Yalina murmured.
"What do you understand?" Han Jin asked in surprise.
"I always thought that your strength grew so fast because your aptitude was better than mine," Yalina said very seriously. "Now I understand everything!"
"It's just that my luck is better than yours. I didn't suffer much here." Han Jin smiled. His state of mind had reached a certain level, and to start all over again, he just needed energy.
Yalina didn't know what "here" meant, so she only nodded as if she understood.
"Now try, you should be able to walk," Han Jin said as he gently put Yalina down.
As soon as Yalina's toes touched the floor, she immediately frowned. However, Han Jin's unintentional sentiments just now had a strong motivational effect on her. She gritted her teeth and tried to walk little by little. Of course, her hand was still tightly holding onto Han Jin.
Han Jin helped Yalina walk around the room a few times, and her movements became faster and faster. He smiled and said, "Let's go to the deck. There's an elf waiting for you."
"An elf?" Yalina couldn't help but be stunned. She suddenly thought of Sunier.
"It's Gao Bin," Han Jin said softly. "It's okay. You can talk about whatever he's talking about."
"Raphael, I'll go see him … okay?" Yalina asked with difficulty.
"You'll have to see him sooner or later." Han Jin's voice was also strained. Last time, Yalina had said that she hoped that he would be happy. He vaguely understood what she meant, but he still couldn't guarantee it. So today, he could use Gao Bin to test her. If Yalina agreed to see him, he would be relieved. If she insisted on refusing, it meant that she didn't want to accept only half of Han Jin.
"You … you want me to see him?" Yalina seemed to be straining even more. This was her test. Yalina wasn't ignorant. If Han Jin wanted her to see Gao Bin, then she understood Han Jin's intentions.
