“What the hell, what have I done to you?” Jun Moxie scratched his head. “Then what should I call you?”

“Hmph! You know perfectly well what you’ve done!” Dugu Xiaoyi looked like she wanted to stamp her foot—she had never met such a blockhead!

“I know!” Jun Moxie frowned in deep thought, then suddenly clapped his hands together. Dugu Xiaoyi’s delicate body shuddered, and she couldn't help but shift her fingers away from covering her eyes, peeking at him secretly, a mixture of shyness, delight, and anticipation.

Jun Moxie suddenly understood: Right, their relationship was different now. I’m teaching her; this is a master-disciple relationship! His expression immediately turned serious, adopting the demeanor of a teacher: “Little lass, my disciple, rise quickly. Let your Master impart the exquisite saber techniques to you.”

“Impart my foot!” Dugu Xiaoyi jumped up, furious, and stomped down hard on his instep. Still not satisfied, she stomped several times more, spitting out hatefully, “Whose master are you? Who is your disciple! Humph!”

Jun Moxie, caught completely off guard, never expected such insubordination from this ‘disciple.’ He grimaced, baring his teeth: “You must… respect your master and value the Dao!”

“Respect your head! Value your head! You think just because you can flash a few fancy saber moves, you’re no longer that good-for-nothing prodigal son?

You big brute!” Dugu Xiaoyi became enraged out of sheer embarrassment, flapping her arms and launching herself at him! He was too infuriating! Too hateful! This big brute! This blockhead! This insensitive blockhead!

“This is simply unreasonable! How am I a prodigal wastrel? How am I a big brute!” Jun Moxie was dumbfounded, grumbling resentfully. This was a colossal injustice! Those wicked deeds committed by the former Moxie were entirely his doing. He, the great savior of the Jun family from the brink of collapse, hadn't done a single bad thing!

He genuinely had no idea what this girl wanted. He had just helped level up her little Bai Bai, even gifted her a fine saber, and was now offering to teach her superior saber skills, yet she was treating him with such… brutality! So what if he accidentally kissed her once? Besides, it wasn't intentional. Whether or not it was your first kiss, we don’t know, but this was definitely my standard first kiss, the first kiss of two lifetimes. If anyone suffered a loss, it was me… Wait, loss?! Did she think that one kiss was such a loss that she needed to pledge herself to me? Jun Moxie shivered. That wouldn't do at all. Girls usually developed earlier, and Brother here was only sixteen, still technically underage. One shouldn't destroy the flowers of the motherland! ...Besides, he hadn't enjoyed his carefree bachelor life nearly enough yet…

“Hurry up, teach me that saber technique already! Didn’t you boast about your saber skills just now!” Dugu Xiaoyi stamped her little foot in a h
