After some time apart, the white-haired girl was still as fair and clean as ever, with slender, long legs, a waist that could be grasped easily, and a well-endowed chest.
"Lina, how’s your recent training going?"
Shami asked with concern.
When it came to training, the white-haired girl had plenty to vent to Shami about.
"Training with Harlan always ends up with me feeling half-starved. Sometimes I train late into the night, then eat tasteless meat. I miss the regular meal times back in the village..."
"That’s just how training is, Lina."
Lina pouted in frustration.
The white-haired girl certainly knew that training was always this dull and tasteless.
However, to help Shami defeat other Heroes and fulfill their promise, she was determined to endure this harsh training.
"Since I’m working so hard, Shami can treat me to a reward, right?"
The white-haired girl looked at Shami with bright eyes.
"Why ask for a reward as soon as you arrive?"
"Because training is really tough! Recently, while training, Shami keeps popping up in my mind. Every time I try to focus, Shami in my head finds ways to distract me."
"Don’t compare me to a stumbling block in your training!"
Shami frowned and gazed at the white-haired girl in confusion.
It seemed like the white-haired girl’s training wasn’t going smoothly.
As the Demon Envoy, it was imperative for him to resolve her predicament.
Shami calmed down and helped the white-haired girl analyze.
"How exactly am I interrupting you?"
The white-haired girl tapped the tips of her index fingers together.
"Shami either ties me to a chair, tickling my feet and threatening me to hold it in, not laugh, to learn. But I’m really afraid of foot tickling, so I keep laughing...; or he makes me cook, even trying to eat the cream straight from me, treating me like a dining table..."
"That content isn’t normal interference! What on earth are you thinking during your training? It’s such vivid and explicit imagery!"
The white-haired girl’s cheeks flushed slightly.
"It’s not explicit content; it’s heart demons!"
"You’re already the Demon Envoy, Lina—why treat the Demon King like such a heart demon?"
She didn’t want it to be , but every time she stood beneath the waterfall, feeling the water rumbling down her body, she couldn’t help but imagine how it would feel if Shami were licking her. — So she completely lost focus and started daydreaming!
In the end, even if the youth’s stray thoughts during training bore ten percent of the blame for lack of focus, Shami appeared in her mind holding ninety percent of the guilt for alluring her with youthful desires!
Lina was thinking of rebutting Shami.
At that moment, Harlan’s voice echoed from beyond the waterfall.
"Oh no, it’s Teacher Harlan."
The white-haired girl started to panic.
"Teacher Harlan doesn’t know about the space behind the waterfall, but I still need a good excuse for leaving the sleeping bag suddenly."
She looked around frantically and then pleaded earnestly at Shami.
"Shami, can you stay back for a bit? I’ll be back soon..."
Seeing the white-haired girl’s reluctant expression, Shami felt compassion.
Since he wasn’t busy, lingering with her was no issue.
With Shami’s affirmative reply, the white-haired girl took a deep breath and darted into the waterfall curtain.
Discovered the sleeping bag beside the lake empty after a short nap, Harlan had gotten up to search for Lina outside.
The two were training in the Primitive Forest environment, Harlan had to be aware of Lina’s whereabouts to ensure her safety.
Harlan, having been a young girl herself, understood this well.
When Lina suddenly disappeared at sundown, there were likely only two scenarios.
Either she was off to resolve a liquid issue.
Or possibly addressing other youthful matters.
After all, Lina was indeed a normal youthful girl who experienced desires as well.
Harlan was understanding about this.
She remembered how during younger years, she’d often released pressure that way while training outside too.
Walking along the shore, Harlan tried shouting into the surroundings.
Knowing Lina was nearby, Harlan planned to head back to the cave and sleep.
But there was no sign of Lina anywhere.
Soon, she looked up and saw the white-haired girl’s silhouette at the base of the waterfall.
Lina was standing at the very bottom of the waterfall, silently confronting the rapidly streaming flow.
Lina glanced at Shami behind her and called out to Harlan.
Harlan was momentarily stunned by the scene before blinking, moved.
This child, instead of stealing away, is secretly training?
Understanding she hadn’t met expectations, Lina sacrificed sleep to train, hoping to improve herself secretly from the teacher?
It was the quintessential effort template of a future Sword Saint in youth!
Ugh, Harlan realized she had projected herself onto Lina.
Not everyone could train vigorously through the day and still have energy for personal rewards at night—like you did, Harlan!
Harlan felt guilty, deeply touched.
