Chapter 775: Chapter 38 Training

In the city of Tokyo, which has fallen into stagnation and panic, the survivors are like trapped beasts in a cage, nowhere to escape, only struggling.

"Three hundred and seventy!"

"Three hundred and seventy-one!"

Jing Xiang had not left, she stood in the bedroom, holding a samurai sword, making chopping motions. This was the task that Tang Zheng had assigned her.

Without electricity, the air conditioning could not be turned on, making the entire house hot like a steam room. The sweaty female employee had soaked her entire body, but she didn’t dare to slack off, and she was still diligently wielding her sword, thinking about every step that Tang Zheng had described.

Sweat dropped onto the floor, soaking into the forming many rows of wet spots. The summer cicadas were singing tirelessly, making the entire street even more tranquil.

With the citizens fleeing, there were many empty houses everywhere, which made it easier for Tang Zheng to find a place to stay.

"Put strength in your wrists, keep your eyes on your enemy, um, that’s three hundred and seventy-five!" With her arms feeling weak and her movements distorted, Jing Xiang had started to become distracted. She glanced towards the bedroom where Tang Zheng was taking his siesta.

Demonic Shadow wouldn’t rampage in broad daylight, and survivors were using the time to restore their energy and physical strength.

"If he comes out and sees me like this, will he get angry?" Jing Xiang looked down at her body nervously.

The female employee was wearing a swimsuit she had found.

Tang Zheng’s all-around conditions were not bad, and most importantly, in the Trojan Horse Game, making him her boyfriend would give her a sense of security. Jing Xiang knew that their current situation was an opportunity, and if she didn’t seize it, she would surely regret it.

There was suddenly the sound of footsteps, and Jing Xiang was as frightened as a wild cat, her entire body tense. She quickly started swinging her sword again, pretending to be hardworking.

"Three hundred and seventy-eight!" Having finished shouting, Jing Xiang saw Tang Zheng with an indifferent face appearing in the living room. His eyes fell on her body, making her shiver, an unusual pleasure began to spread through her body. She subconsciously twisted her body, wanting to escape from Tang Zheng’s gaze.

"Are you hot?" Tang Zheng frowned.

"No, hot!" Jing Xiang became confused, shook her head, then hastily nodded. Since being scolded the last time, every time she saw Tang Zheng, she would feel scared.

"Are you hot or not?" Tang Zheng didn’t like Jing Xiang’s personality, which was too timid. She was completely incomparable to the strong Gu Xueqi. Would standing in front of a man with no clothes on be acceptable? That school flower would rather die.

"Hot." Jing Xiang nodded, then started to swing her sword again, counting loudly, "Three hundred and eighty-one."

Tang Zheng took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, took a swig, then sat on the chair, watching Jing Xiang practice. The female employee had not been lazy, but everything she did was completely deviating from Tang Zheng’s original intention, making him quite irritated.

Jing Xiang also noticed something was amiss. Her voice gradually got quieter, and her movements became more and more distorted. At last, she hugged her shoulders and squatted on the ground.

"Did I do something wrong?" Jing Xiang asked timidly, her voice soft as an ant.

"Besides having you swing your sword a thousand times, did I tell you anything else?" Tang Zheng didn’t tell Jing Xiang to get up and shifted his gaze away.

"No." Jing Xiang thought hard, for a full three minutes, but couldn’t think of anything. "Really, there’s nothing else."

"Did I tell you to count aloud?" This woman was so stupid, it frustrated Tang Zheng and made him want to hit her with his mineral water bottle.

Jing Xiang shook her head, and then a light lit up in her eyes. She finally remembered, "That’s right, you told me to shout out loud every time I swing the sword."

"Did you yell?" Tang Zheng scolded Jing Xiang, shouting, "Come here, stand straight."

"But I did yell." The female employee nodded with an innocent expression. She was a little fearful of Tang Zheng’s stern manner, slowly got up, and her gaze started to shift. When Tang Zheng shouted, she no longer had any thoughts of seducing him, on the contrary, she started to cover her body, absolutely terrified.

"Come here. Didn’t you hear me?" Tang Zheng picked up the samurai sword’s scabbard that had been placed on the tea table.

Jing Xiang obeyed and moved closer, standing neatly in front of Tang Zheng.

"Dare you say you called out?" Tang Zheng flicked Jing Xiang’s thigh with the sheath of his knife, causing her to turn and face him, then swung his hand and smacked her butt with the sheath.

A crisp smack resounded as Jing Xiang flinched her shoulders, daring neither to dodge or cry out.

"Do you feel wronged?" Tang Zheng struck again, his glare sternly fixed on Jing Xiang.

"No." Jing Xiang shook her head, but tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"Do you really think that swinging the knife a thousand times would enable you to match the Shadow Demon Warrior? I asked you to yell to suppress your fear, to grow your courage and momentum, to exhale and make a sound. You can’t even do these, let alone fight." Tang Zheng scolded Jing Xiang as he brought down another sharp blow. This time, the force was so great it left a red welt.

A fierce yell while exerting power can enhance explosive force, reduce damage from external forces, and protect your internals. Tang Zheng, though, wasn’t ready to share these nuances with Jing Xiang, too many things, she wouldn’t remember them all.

"I was wrong." Jing Xiang apologized, sobbing incessantly.

"Louder." Tang Zheng roared, "If you know you were wrong, why won’t you change?"

"I was wrong." This time Jing Xiang yelled at the top of her lungs, which surprisingly felt good, although the stern look on Tang Zheng’s face soon made her shrink back in fear.

"You, forget it. Go take a bath, get dressed." Seeing Jing Xiang’s cowering figure, Tang Zheng went soft, deciding to back off for now. If he intended to discipline, there was no rush.

Jing Xiang nodded, then scampered off towards the bathroom without a look back.

"If I can’t be the gentleman, then I should partake at full, even taking the leftovers home." Tang Zheng joked about himself as he tried to shake off intrusive thoughts, focusing instead on what needed to be done that afternoon.

Jing Xiang rushed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Only then did her tense emotions start to calm a bit, but her heart kept pounding. She leaned against the wall, accidentally touching the bruise on her butt. She winced in pain as if electrified.

Five minutes later, Jing Xiang was still in the bathroom. Growing impatient, Tang Zheng grabbed his travel bag full of weapons and headed for the bathroom.

"Jing Xiang, I’m going out for a bit. You take care of Cheng Cheng and stay in the room. Don’t go anywhere." Before Tang Zheng finished speaking, the bathroom door opened, revealing a worried Jing Xiang covered in white foam.

"Don’t leave us."

"I’m not leaving anyone. I am just stepping out for a bit." Tang Zheng cursed irritably, "Next time you show up before me bare-skinned, I will tie you up and toss you onto the main street for everyone to see."

"Oh." Jing Xiang got scared and didn’t know how to react.

"Close the door, go take your bath." Tang Zheng sighed, then shouted.

Like a startled rabbit, Jing Xiang recoiled, slamming the door shut, narrowly missing Tang Zheng’s nose.

"Well, I guess it isn’t often you find a newbie that is as obedient and beautiful as her. I’ll make some allowances, a little care wouldn’t hurt." Standing on the main street, having looked around, Tang Zheng left in a new MPV.

Jing Xiang was extremely beautiful with a tantalizing figure. Her docile disposition stirs the desire in most men to protect her. But what Tang Zheng valued the most was her submission. Whatever he asked of her, she never objected. Even when it was shameful to the extreme, she would do it.

Among the Trojan squad, Ruan Feifei was the most arrogant and defiant, rejecting any discipline. Yu Manli would listen to Tang Zheng’s instructions and do whatever he asked, regardless of its impact on her dignity. She only did so out of necessity, but once she regains her footing, she would definitely revolt. Xu Biyun saw Tang Zheng as a reliable big brother without any ulterior motives. Ai Yixin regarded Tang Zheng as a trustworthy friend and benefactor.

Pang Meiqin wouldn’t waste any opportunity to take Tang Zheng down. However, as her strength grew, the beautiful leg stewardess had started training for the day Tang Zheng might leave. She wasn’t as clingy.

Chen Hong firmly intended to gain support from Tang Zheng, prepared to stoop to any level for it. But she was not discreet, always trying to show off in front of the newbies. She is also afraid of death. No matter how much she’s taught, she would be the first to run in face of danger. In her mind, her safety always comes first, that notion is deep-seated.

In the team, the one who admired Tang Zheng the most was undoubtedly Bai Guo. Even with Qin Yan to rely on, this naturally innocent girl would continue to obey Tang Zheng’s orders, even at the cost of her own safety. She is currently trying to set up Qin Yan with Tang Zheng, as she thought they were the perfect match.

Towards this quiet, pure, and somewhat naive girl, Tang Zheng surely wouldn’t want her to be cannon fodder.

Thus, Jing Xiang’s value came to light. This woman was incredibly cowardly and suggestible, making it easy to brainwash her. Moreover, her seed ability made her an ideal scout and stealthy killer. Tang Zheng needed such a helper.
