"Brother Fang."

Nanny Cui, who had been busy all night, came over holding a stone altar in her hands.

"I’ve ground all the turtle shell into powder. Look, is this okay?"

She opened the stone altar as she spoke.

The stone altar seemed to be her own handiwork as well. The lid was coarse, and inside it was filled with turtle shell powder.

"It’s fine," Fang Zheng nodded:

"Thank you!"

"Hehe..." Nanny Cui grinned, looking quite pleased with herself, rubbing her messy hair.

Nanny Cui had a very pronounced facial structure, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a high nose bridge, and a sturdy physique, exuding a rare sense of heroism.

On a closer look, her figure was not bad, even very impressive.

However, the Yama Secret Realm had many warlocks who preferred the delicate, slender, and gentle beauty of women, and most were uninterested in this type of powerful beauty.

Moreover, Nanny Cui’s skin was in poor condition, with a scar on her face, and combined with her unlikable personality, all these aspects made her unwelcome.

"Cui was a child bride of the Zhang Family and had a daughter. At home, she was always bullied by the doctor."

"Her husband didn’t help her either."

"Later, when the Zhang Family faced disaster, her husband died, and she was kicked out by the First Lady of the Zhang Family, ending up homeless."

Elder Ren stroked his beard gently and spoke slowly:

"Actually, her daughter wasn’t qualified to go to Fengdu City, but she kept following, clinging on and refusing to leave."

"There was no other way but to let her be!"

He sighed after speaking.

It was clear that he also felt helpless with this kind of person.

Not only Elder Ren, but others in the group also disliked Nanny Cui, calling her foolish or stubborn.

Yet, Nanny Cui seemed unaware, constantly bustling around, helping this person and that.

Pitifully.

She’s unwelcome wherever she goes.

This person is quite sad, yet pitiable.

"The path of magic is infinitely profound. You are still very young, do not concern yourself with those complex matters."

Fang Zheng held down Ma Ning’s spellcasting hand and spoke slowly:

"For now, just follow what I say, practice the Yin Soul Umbrella and Baleful Yin Spear until you master them."

"I’ve divided the Yin Soul Umbrella into six steps. Tackle one step at a time, and eventually integrate them into one."

"Yes!"

Ma Ning nodded emphatically.

"Ma Chao."

"Present!"

With the turtle beetle essence and occasional spirit porridge supplements, Ma Chao was full of energy today.

"The Five Paths of Evil is actually quite an exceptional martial art, but your Evil Essence Claw has gone astray. Continuing on this path will not only hinder progress but could even harm yourself..."

"Follow my instructions."

Fang Zheng held a stick and lightly tapped Ma Chao’s body, applying just the right amount of force.

With just a few adjustments, Ma Chao found it easier to exert strength, and his claw technique became more refined.

After a brief practice, his heart was filled with great joy.

It turns out this is how it’s done!

It can actually be like this!

Master...

Why didn’t I meet Master sooner?

Not far away.

Nanny Cui was dragging a dirty little girl, busying herself, and from time to time nudging the girl toward where Fang Zheng and the other two were standing.

"Go listen!"

"Mom."

The little girl lowered her head, twisting the corners of her clothes in her hands:

"I’ll get hit."

"Even if you get hit, you must listen." Nanny Cui glared at her:

"Mom knows martial arts but not magic. Listen as much as you can. There are few mages here who practice the Soul Hook Chain, and Master Fang is the best. You don’t know when you’ll get this chance again if you miss it."

"Don’t worry."

"If he really chases you away, I’ll take the beating for you. I’ve done so many things for him, listening a bit shouldn’t be a problem."

The little girl’s eyes reddened, and she nodded timidly, uncertain if her mother’s actions were right or wrong.

But she knew her mother had suffered a lot to let her eavesdrop on others’ lessons.

She didn’t want her mother to get hit.

But she wanted to listen to the lessons even more.

Not far away.

Fang Zheng glanced at the two of them, subtly shaking his head, then continued instructing the Ma Family siblings.
