Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Chapter 1232 Shocking Change! The Gate of the Eclipse Opens

"Master, I want to learn too!" Bai Feng roared, not to be outdone.

"You've just completed such an important task today, so get some rest." Master patted Bai Feng on the shoulder: "Good lad, go back and rest. We'll practice again tomorrow. I'll definitely teach you. I know everything you want to learn."

Bai Feng pouted in disappointment, "Master, you can't go back on your word, it's a deal!"

"Alright, go back now." Master waved to Bai Feng.

"But it's still early today, we can practice martial arts..."

“I told you to go back and rest, so go back and rest. Listen to me.” The master said as he approached Chi Lian and pushed her into the house. His intention was for Chi Lian to get some rest. They had set off on their mission in the middle of the night, and now the sun was high in the sky. They were all exhausted. Practicing martial arts under these conditions would not only be ineffective, but would also have the opposite effect.

But when his hand touched Chi Lian's shoulder, his thoughts changed.

The master's burning hands, through the smooth silk, ignited a fire within him. Looking around, he saw no one but Bai Feng. Now was the perfect time to act on his wicked schemes.

Seeing that they were all about to rest, Bai Feng also turned and headed back home.

As her master pushed her from outside into the house, his hands, which had been resting respectfully on her shoulders, gradually moved down, and his back pressed closer to hers. Chi Lian sensed that something was off with her master today; why was he suddenly being so affectionate towards her?

So he dodged his master's mischievous hand and said awkwardly, "Master, I'll go inside and rest. You can go now."

The master's hand missed its mark. Banishing the lewd thoughts from his mind, he looked at Chi Lian's innocent face and smirked, "What are you refusing for? You look so much like a vixen, weren't you born to seduce me?" As he spoke, he reached out to hook Chi Lian's chin.

His tone was flippant, completely unlike his usual serious and earnest master, and Chi Lian felt a sense of foreboding rise in her heart.

Ignoring the panic in Chi Lian's eyes, the master stepped forward again, forcefully grabbing Chi Lian's slender arm, intending to do something improper.

"Ah! Master, what are you doing? Let me go!" Chi Lian refused to back down and tried to shake off her master's grip, but found she wasn't strong enough. She started screaming.

Bai Feng hadn't gone far when he heard his sister's voice. Thinking she had encountered something she couldn't solve, he quickly walked back.

Back at the training ground, he saw his master and sister arguing, their behavior hardly befitting training. Seeing his sister at a disadvantage, Bai Feng couldn't remain calm. He used his lightness skill to leap forward and knock his master's hand away.

"Bai Feng, get out of here! You don't need to get involved in this!" He was furious that his good fortune, which was about to be in his hands, had been ruined. When he saw that the person who came was Bai Feng, his master glared at him and shouted angrily.

"I will not abandon my sister."

Bai Feng made his stance clear with a simple sentence and pulled Chi Lian behind him to protect her. "War" was about to break out, and the siblings joined forces to fight their master.

As expected, they were still just two teenagers. Although their martial arts skills had improved significantly, the gap between them and the strong was still huge. Chi Lian and Bai Feng were defeated by their master.

During the fight, Bai Feng was seriously injured and fell unconscious, while Chi Lian was imprisoned by her enraged master and left in a sorry state.

Chapter 1233 Future Rogge's Schemes: Wolves in Front, Tigers Behind

News travels fast. Since Chi Lian and Bai Feng were brought in by Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang made a point of finding out why they were punished and imprisoned after receiving the news.

You don't know until you investigate, and once you do, Wei Zhuang understands everything.

When Wei Zhuang learned the reason why Chi Lian was punished, he was shocked. After all, she was someone he had brought with him, and she had endured so much arduous training, but now she had succumbed to the power of others.

These two very talented children perished just like that. Wei Zhuang felt it was a great pity that such geniuses were buried. He had pulled them back from the brink of death, and now, giving them another helping hand wouldn't hurt. Wei Zhuang felt he could offer appropriate assistance.

Of course, this help didn't mean getting Chi Lian out of prison. Once she's in jail, getting out isn't so easy. However, he could help in other ways. After careful consideration, Wei Zhuang chose a time to personally deliver food to the prison.

He carried his lunchbox and walked to the place where Chi Lian was being held. The guards stopped him and shouted, "What are you doing here!"

"Bring the food." Wei Zhuang coldly pushed aside the guard's spear that was blocking his way, and raised the lunchbox he was carrying. Only after the guard confirmed that he was indeed carrying the lunchbox did he slowly put down the spear and let him in.

When Wei Zhuang arrived at Chi Lian's cell, Chi Lian was sitting listlessly on a pile of straw, probably thinking about how to get out.

"Chi Lian." Wei Zhuang took the key the guard gave him, unlocked the cell, and went inside, softly calling out to Chi Lian. Chi Lian thought it was the guard bringing her food, but the guard's voice wasn't as gentle as it was now. She found it strange, so she turned around and saw it was Wei Zhuang.

"Senior Wei Zhuang, what brings you here?" Chi Lian was both surprised and delighted. "It's me. I heard you were wrongfully imprisoned, so I came to see you."

Chi Lian lowered her eyes slightly, realizing how pathetic she looked.

“I can’t get you out of here, but I can assure you that your master won’t do anything to you, and Bai Feng is waiting for you outside. I hope you won’t be discouraged. Even in prison, you must continue to practice your skills. You want revenge, right? Then rely on your own strength to avenge yourself honorably.”

Wei Zhuang placed the lunchbox on the table, opened it, and slowly took out the dishes one by one as he spoke.

Chi Lian seemed lost in thought, her tone somewhat dejected: "Only now do I realize how insignificant my efforts are. Even the two of us combined can't defeat Master, and Master's martial arts are nothing special even within the Seven Killings Sect..."

Wei Zhuang naturally knew what she was worried about, and comforted her: "Your current thinking is wrong. Other people's talents are not innate. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely succeed. I believe in you!"

"Yes, I definitely will!" After hearing Wei Zhuang's encouraging words, Chi Lian, who was originally confused and lost, was greatly shaken. She nodded heavily and made up her mind to take revenge on her own.

Seeing the change in Chi Lian's emotions, Wei Zhuang smiled with satisfaction. Chi Lian was still a very perceptive child; she understood things very quickly.

Then, Chi Lian asked in confusion, "But what should I do? I have mastered all the martial arts my master taught me, and I can't train my physique in this small prison."

Wei Zhuang smiled. He had come prepared; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted impulsively.

Chapter 1234 The King Who Rules the World and Surpasses All Dragons

He took out two blue-covered books from his sleeve. Judging from the titles, they seemed to be very high-end books.

Wei Zhuang leaned close to Chi Lian's ear and whispered, "You are a woman, so to make the most of your strengths, you can't confront things head-on. Poisoning techniques are stealthy and suitable for your agility. You should practice those these days."

After speaking, Wei Zhuang thought of something else and added, "Although we need to start practicing new poison techniques, we must not neglect martial arts. Good physical fitness is essential for every assassin."

Holding the two books Wei Zhuang had given her, Chi Lian seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She sincerely said, "Thank you."

"That's all I can do for you. Everything else is up to you. I believe you can do it. Come and eat. You must have had a tough time in the cell these past few days. I'll bring you food more often from now on."

Chi Lian put the book on the table, picked up the rice bowl, and wolfed down her food.

After Chi Lian finished eating, Wei Zhuang left with his lunchbox.

Although she was imprisoned, after a while, her master seemed to have forgotten about her. He neither released her nor took any other measures. Chi Lian couldn't figure out her master's thoughts.

However, this did not affect Chi Lian's training. She continued to practice every day without interruption.

There were only two people guarding Chi Lian, and seeing that she was a well-behaved child, they were relatively lax in their management of her.

Chi Lian first studied the two books Wei Zhuang had given her. The content was easy to understand, suitable for beginners. Chi Lian guessed that Wei Zhuang had specifically chosen these two books for her. Thinking of this, she felt a warmth in her heart, and her desire for revenge grew even stronger.

Chi Lian stood on tiptoe by the only small window in the cell, looked at the trees outside, and sighed. She was fine inside, but she wondered how Bai Feng was doing outside. He must be very worried about her.

Chi Lian began to specialize in poison-making techniques. She practiced constantly while studying books, and even used the rats, frequent visitors to the prison, as her experiments. Later, after she was released, she studied even harder and often went to the mountains to find poisonous herbs to make poisons.

Her efforts were not in vain; she truly defeated her master single-handedly, and Bai Feng applauded her from the sidelines.

After Chi Lian defeated her master, Wei Zhuang went to see Chi Lian again.

When Chi Lian saw Wei Zhuang arrive, she was as happy as a child. "Senior Wei Zhuang, you've come! I defeated my master. Thank you for your guidance." After saying that, Chi Lian bowed deeply to Wei Zhuang.

"Congratulations." Wei Zhuang cupped his hands in greeting. "Seeing your growth makes me feel relieved. You don't need to thank me too much. I didn't do anything. All of this is the result of your own hard work, not anyone else's achievement."

Wei Zhuang took out a soft sword that was entirely red from his storage bag. He examined the sword, then looked at Chi Lian, and said, "I obtained this soft sword by chance. I don't need it myself, but I thought it would suit you well, so I gave it to you." Wei Zhuang handed the soft sword to Chi Lian. "This sword hasn't been named yet. Now that it has an owner, let's call it Chi Lian."

Chi Lian accepted the soft sword, flattered and overwhelmed, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, thank you."

Wei Zhuang gifted Chi Lian a soft sword named Chi Lian, nothing more. He had acquired the sword unintentionally; a good weapon deserves a good person, and it was merely a simple act. However, this gesture only made Chi Lian, who already admired Wei Zhuang, even more devoted to him.

Chapter 1235 The Beginning of Disaster in the Kingdom of Fiore

Wei Zhuang could tell from Chi Lian's expression that Chi Lian harbored feelings for him.

However, Wei Zhuang was never the kind of person who could be bound by emotions. Since he was determined to learn martial arts, he had to shut out his passions and desires.

Chi Lian kept looking at Wei Zhuang with ambiguous eyes. If Wei Zhuang wasn't a person with a strong will, he might very well have become infatuated with Chi Lian's beauty.

Wei Zhuang looked away, refusing to meet Chi Lian's eyes directly.

Sensitive Chi Lian felt that Wei Zhuang was deliberately distancing himself from her, and she felt very disappointed, but she did not want to give up on this relationship.

Even though Wei Zhuang was Chi Lian's dream lover, she always wanted to live happily with him, but Wei Zhuang always seemed very indifferent.

This time, Wei Zhuang's actions made Chi Lian realize that Wei Zhuang was a very good person and that he might have feelings for her.

Wei Zhuang's soft sword has the exact same name as Chi Lian, which shows that Wei Zhuang is quite thoughtful.

Chi Lian is becoming increasingly infatuated with Wei Zhuang, and her love for him is growing deeper and deeper.

Wei Zhuang felt the intense gaze fixed on him, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He then turned and gave Chi Lian a quick glance, warning her in a very stern tone: "A martial artist should not have emotions!"

Wei Zhuang's words instantly shattered Chi Lian's hopes. She sensed that Wei Zhuang's tone was extremely firm, as if he had not hesitated at all.

Chi Lian ran excitedly to Wei Zhuang, her eyes brimming with tears. "Wei Zhuang, why did you do this to me?" Chi Lian asked emotionally.

Suddenly, Chi Lian grabbed Wei Zhuang's arm, but Wei Zhuang only glanced at her.

Then, she ruthlessly shook off Chi Lian's hand and said very decisively, "Martial arts practitioners are people who do great things. They cannot be swayed by emotions, so the best way is to have no emotions!"

These words seemed to make perfect sense, but Chi Lian felt deeply disappointed. Why can't martial artists have emotions? What kind of twisted logic is that?

At this moment, Chi Lian felt very sad, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. She knew that Wei Zhuang liked strong people, so Chi Lian had to do something for Wei Zhuang.

Chi Lian sniffed and said, "I understand what you mean. If there's nothing else, I'll head down now."

Wei Zhuang merely uttered a nasal sound: "Hmm!" His gaze did not fall on Chi Lian at all.

After leaving, Chi Lian clenched her fists secretly; she had to do something.

Chi Lian understands Wei Zhuang very well. Because she likes him, she understands him thoroughly, which is why she can help him when he needs it.

Chi Lian knew that Wei Zhuang hated Gai Nie. She looked at the sword in her hand that bore the same name as her own and made up her mind to kill Gai Nie.
