An Junlie’s eyes and hands were quick; he caught her fist.

“What is it?” Zi Ye wouldn't speak, so when her fists failed, she aimed a kick at his lower body.

Seeing this, An Junlie simply decided to 'spar' with her as a warm-up.

Her attacks had ferocity and speed, but since An Junlie was her martial arts instructor, he knew every move she was about to make.

In his eyes, Zi Ye’s fighting was nothing more than flashy, empty posturing.

So, he simply let go of her fist and allowed her to attack freely.

Zi Ye threw dozens of moves in succession but couldn't even graze the corner of An Junlie’s robe.

She grew increasingly angry, but rationally understood that continuing the bout was pointless, so she stopped.

Seeing her cease, An Junlie stopped evading and began, “Little sister, your 'Pigeon Plucks Tail' move isn’t precise enough.

It should be…” Before he could finish, a sharp pain shot through his knee as Zi Ye delivered a fierce kick.

Piqued, she snapped, “That’s for dodging!” An Junlie grimaced in pain.

For the entire day, besides testing the machinery, he also managed the entire kitchen—responsible for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, snacks, late-night bites, and even Zi Ye’s ideological education sessions.

He was busier than he usually was back in the Angel Realm.

Yet, he was happy to be exploited by Zi Ye.

Even when busy at the Bean Sprout Villa, his life felt like a vacation.

He even got to tease Zi Ye now and then.

In his mind, boys should be raised lean, their spirits tested, their bodies worked, their skin toughened, cultivating endurance and physical fitness from a young age.

Therefore, when they were on Silver Rune Star, his demands on Zi Ye were exceptionally high; he was determined to forge 'him' into someone capable.

Now that he knew she was a girl, he naturally couldn't treat her the same way.

His strategy completely changed; he began doting on Zi Ye like a little girl, exerting himself to fulfill any request within his capacity.

Of course, to ensure she stayed
