He thought for a moment, then without hesitation, he lay down.
Ding Hui, although sometimes gave off a crazed vibe, was mostly reliable.
As expected, the powder dissolved into the water, immediately adding a subtle stimulation to the skin, and the injuries seemed to be healing a bit faster.
Comparing the natural healing rate, there was no competition.
It was the kind of thing that was more icing on the cake, rather indistinct.
There shouldnāt have been any expectations, my bodyās natural recovery rate is the best medicine.
Fang Yu had his realization.
After bathing, Fang Yu dressed and walked outside his room to see Ding Hui sitting at the dining table, and asked curiously.
"How is Ru Ru doing?"
"Besides not activating the Spirit Powder, everything else is going well; the medicine I previously provided her is quite effective."
Fang Yu felt it strange.
It sounded pretty good, so why did she look so listless?
Fang Yu was pondering when suddenly Ding Hui sprang up.
"Iāve got it; Iām going to make your sister fall for me!"
"What?"
Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
"Are you crazy?"
"You donāt understand!"
Ding Hui glared at Fang Yu.
Since she couldnāt stir Ru Ruās emotions through this kid, sheād have to provoke her through herself.
The relationship was gradually getting closer anyway, perfect opportunity.
"Donāt mess around! My sister is very naive!"
Naive? Naively right!
You didnāt even know what she was thinking about you! I think you are the naive one!
Ding Hui began chewing on her nails, considering how to most effectively win over Diao Ruru.
Otherwise, with the research on Spirit Powder moving slowly, it felt like going from high-speed cart riding to a tortoiseās walk ā the pace was too unbearable for her.
Glancing at the worried Fang Yu, Ding Hui spoke up.
"Donāt worry, I wonāt do anything to your sister. But you mentioned before that you wanted to teach your sister martial arts? How about I teach her?"
Fang Yu was initially taken aback, watching Ding Hui skeptically.
Why had she suddenly become so kindhearted?
Thereās a catch!
But...
Thatās free teaching.
You know, Fang Yu had never taught anyone martial arts.
His martial arts were all about pointing out what he didnāt know and working it out.
Improving himself was one thing, but teaching others? How much or what level he could teach was completely unpredictable.
If Ding Hui took over, it would be a different story.
After all, she was an indigenous NPC, a legitimate Martial Arts practitioner, and moreover, a woman; thatās suitable.
However...
"I thought... techniques from the Foolish Underworld arenāt supposed to be passed on, right?"
"Who said Iām going to teach her the techniques from Foolish Underworld. I have plenty of collectibles. Isnāt it fine to take out a few external Martial Arts Secret Manuals? Donāt worry, Iāll teach her the basics. For anything beyond that, you handle it."
That... might actually work.
Having a foundation would be very good.
Fang Yu didnāt need his sister to be very strong. Just acquiring the Two-Heart Lock, strengthening her physique, and having basic self-defense capabilities would suffice.
"Well... thatās acceptable."
After considering it, Fang Yu nodded in agreement.
"Very well, Iāll get ready now and come back tomorrow night."
Saying this, Ding Hui was about to leave.
Fang Yu initially felt nothing was amiss, but suddenly, as if realizing something, he quickly went over to stop Ding Hui from opening the door.
"Whatās up?"
Ding Hui turned around in surprise.
"Donāt go!"
"Huh?"
Ding Hui was puzzled, staring skeptically at Fang Yu, "Youāre not really falling for me, are you? I told you Iām hard to handle, do you really want to try?"
She observed Fang Yuās well-proportioned body.
"Actually, I do have some feelings for you..."
Fang Yu: ...
Oh my!
My, oh my!
"Stop stop stop!"
Fang Yu quickly let go.
"I mean, donāt go outside, itās very chaotic now."
"Huh?"
Momentarily stunned, Ding Hui then understood Fang Yuās intention.
Oh, was it a misunderstanding?
It was rare for Ding Hui to feel a bit embarrassed, and even she found it a bit too much to bear.
"Oh, so thatās the case, hahaha! Itās so chaotic outside, then... shall I stay in your sisterās room a bit longer?"
"Sure, wait till dawn to leave."
"Okay!"
She went over, closed the door, and the surroundings quieted down.
Fang Yu listened to the noises outside; it seemed like someone was performing a sweep not far from there.
Fang Yu, not wanting to meddle more, returned to his room, thought for a while, and prepared to practice the Two-Heart Lock.
Materials, method, everything was ready.
What was missing was just proficiency.
However, after practicing for a while, Fang Yu noticed a problem.
During his practice, something felt off; there was an odd sensation.
Considering this, he went to Ru Ruās room to find Ding Hui.
"Letās talk in your room."
By now, Ding Hui had regained her composure and quietly responded.
Back in the room, as soon as Fang Yu discussed the issue, Ding Hui was immediately shocked.
"How have you been practicing up to now? How did you not know about this issue?"
Fang Yu: ...
Could you not be so blunt?
Despite feeling awkward, Fang Yu continued to ask for guidance.
Fortunately, Ding Hui was just grumbling; she still answered his questions.
With Ding Huiās assistance, Fang Yu quickly entered the official phase of practice.
A night passed.
[System notification: Congratulations player for diligently practicing the Two-Heart Lock, proficiency+1.]
[Beginner level skill: Two-Heart Lock [Not yet mastered].]
Fang Yu opened his eyes, and with the aid of demon materials, he finally managed to practice it.
There were still quite a few demon materials left; those were for connecting to his sisterās heart.
If everything went smoothly, he could give his sister an extra layer of protection.
Although it wasnāt very useful, it was still a layer of protection that could provide a bit more peace of mind.
Looking at Ding Hui, who had already fallen asleep beside him, Fang Yu placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
She had lost interest in helping explain the Two-Heart Lock midway.
