Chapter 126 -121: Adding a Crocodile’s Head

“You’re getting scared before we’ve even started.” The Red Demonic Spirit had no tolerance for such a person.

“I’m not scared, I just mean, we don’t need to put ourselves through all this trouble, I am determined to practice martial arts.” Ye Chen said.

“So, filling your stomach now counts as trouble!”

“What I’m trying to say is, we can delegate these chores to others, like cooking and laundry. We have silver, we can hire people, and we can focus solely on practicing martial arts.”

“You need to learn to balance work and leisure.”

“Yes, I agree with balancing work and leisure, but where is our leisure time?”

“Cooking, gardening that’s leisure! Don’t you find these things fun?”

“This is work, not leisure! You really have a strange sense of humor.”

“Like I said, forget about everything else. There is only one path for you, listening to me. Through hard physical labor and hunger, you will become enlightened. You will thank me in the future.” The Red Demonic Spirit was determined to make his life hard.

“It seems you are really set on this path. You’re so stubborn; there isn’t even room for negotiation.”

“Hurry up and clean this place up, prepare the kitchen. We will start practicing martial arts tomorrow. Make sure to memorize everything in that book or else you are going to be in trouble.” His face turned serious.

“Haven’t you seen how busy I’ve been these last few days? I can barely stand up straight. If it continues like this, I’ll become hunchbacked. When will I have any time to memorize anything?” Ye Chen complained, rubbing his back.

“That’s your problem. If you can’t recite everything to me in three days, leave it to your imagination.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen asked, “What? Are you going to abuse me, whip me, or insult me?”

“I’m thinking about setting up a punishment room next door.” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“A punishment room? What for? Are you really that devoid of humanity? Is this martial arts training or torture?”

“I was never human to begin with, so why should I act humanely? There’s little difference between martial arts training and punishment. Both are ways to discipline the body and the will.”

“Abuse is illegal and punishable by imprisonment. Can we please avoid this method of education?”

The Red Demonic Spirit grew curious and asked, “If not through punishment, then how would you educate?”

“Through rewards. Rewards stimulate people and cultivate their interests.”

“So if you perform well, should I reward you with a woman or a maid to cook and clean for you?”

“Hey, see? You understood as soon as I explained. You catch on quickly.”

“Then you’ve really become quite the master.”

“No, we should be more humane.”

“I’ve told you I’m not a human, so why should I act humanely? You really have grand ideas about ‘reward-based education’. Just so you know, I only punish, I don’t reward. I believe that the potential of a person can be forced out only through punishment. Without suffering, how could you ever learn your lesson?”

“How can that be? Even the secretion of saliva in a dog is due to a reward. Ring a bell and it comes, obedient and expecting a treat.”

“Now you want to salivate too? Thinking of yourself as a dog? Don’t worry, I’m good at training dogs. I don’t need rewards; using electric shocks is best. Even mad dogs can be tamed.”

“Hey, it would be better if you motivate people internally rather than externally. I doubt your methods would be effective in the long term. They’d hardly last.” Ye Chen said, sitting cross-legged and sipping tea.

“Now you want internal motivation? How would you propose that we achieve that?”

“I mean an inherent desire to learn, not through punishment. This would yield more determination.”

“From observing you, I think you would never learn anything without punishment. Remember this, go buy a horsewhip for me later. Once you have the horsewhip, you will certainly want to learn from the heart.”

Ye Chen’s eyes widened, he protested, “A horsewhip? I’m made of flesh and blood, not leather. A horsewhip is really too much!”

“So you’re against it, then let’s get a needle.”

“Were you an abuser in your past life? We are here to practice martial arts, not to administer punishments.”

“Really? Do you still want to practice the martial arts you speak of? My method is this, I don’t believe in those high-sounding theories, what internal motivation? Do you really think motivation comes naturally? In theory, it’s always ideal, but the process is tedious. How can there be no punishment? That ‘internal motivation’, you might as well find it yourself. Just remember, the link between you and me is a horsewhip, and a silver needle.”

“You’re too practical. You should train animals, not people.”

“Do you know about the task I have at the 18 levels?”

“What is it?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“It’s all about disciplining the disobedient. Those who leave here will basically be very obedient. Even man-eaters can be trained to behave like gentlewomen.” The Red Demonic Spirit said proudly.

“Are you planning to train me into an obedient pet?”

“Quit your whining. In three days, memorize everything or else you won’t be sleeping until you do.”

“Ah! You won’t even let me sleep. The relationship between master and student should be equal. Only in this way can you cultivate a creative apprentice. All you’ll end up with are soulless corpses.”

“Still thinking of creativity? That’s just the excuse of a lazy person. You haven’t even learned the basics and you’re already thinking about being creative. Get around to learning your stuff first.”

“Don’t tell me you’re going to have me start with the basics.”

“Oh, you seem to understand quite well. Yes, start with the basics. First, temper the body, then the mind, from outside to inside. Practice the external form, and then internal power.”

“I guess I really should brace myself for the worst.”

“Having a sense of self-awareness is good. Don’t hold on to hope, for that’s the beginning of your suffering.”

“So now even hope has become my suffering.”

“Abandon hope, then you can return to reality and stay grounded.”

“Hope seems to be the obstacle that keeps me from staying grounded.”

The Red Demonic Spirit said, “People think that as long as they work hard, they will succeed. Who told them that hard work will definitely result in success?”

“If working hard doesn’t guarantee success, then why bother working hard!” Ye Chen asked.

“All I know is, to become a master and make a name for yourself, you do what you can and the rest is left up to fate. Some things, if you put effort into them, might succeed, but if you don’t, they definitely won’t.”

“Hehe, so that’s the philosophy.”

“Quickly prepare some good food, you aren’t going to step outside of this door for the next month.”

“A month, inside, without taking a step out, you’re putting me in solitary confinement.”

“That’s precisely it, you wanted to learn martial arts so it’s up to you. If you say now that you don’t want to learn, then obviously, that’s no problem. I couldn’t care less. But don’t complain later that people are looking down on you and you want to return to Immortal City to uphold your dignity. I doubt if you could salvage even a shred of it.”

“You seriously underestimate me. If I don’t accomplish something to prove my talent and determination, I won’t be able to hold my head up high in front of you.” Ye Chen said.

“What determination, a horse whip is more effective.” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ye Chen started his preparations and said, “Can I buy an old hen to nourish myself first?”

“Yeah, you should. See if you can toughen up your skin to become solid armor. Maybe you can transform into a pangolin in a night. Don’t forget to buy a horse whip,” the Red Demonic Spirit reminded him.

“And what if I turn into a giant crocodile! You had better watch out then.” Ye Chen turned and exited.

His stomach had been growling for a while, and the spirit continued, “Don’t wander too much, or people might mistake you for a snake and capture you, making you their slave and turning you into a mummy.”

Walking down the streets and taking a stroll, even though he had been here for a while, he still hadn’t really looked around properly. He had been busy all these days and didn’t even have the time to fully appreciate his surroundings.

This Wasteland City was surprisingly magnificent, no wonder so many people from the Central plains traveled all this distance to do business here, despite the risk of encountering bandits.

It wasn’t as chaotic as he had imagined. And importantly, people here didn’t recognize him. People from the Evil and Demon Domains would never imagine him being in the Wastelands.

Ye Chen took his time exploring, it wasn’t until dusk that he returned carrying lots of items.

He even had help and soon the people delivering the items left.

The Red Demonic Spirit then showed up and asked, “Why did you buy so many things?”

“Didn’t you tell me to act as if I were already dead?”

Ye Chen continued, “If I’m to act as if I’m dead, I’ll eat what I want to eat, drink what I want to drink, and fill my stomach. If I were to die, at least I would die on a full stomach. I can’t starve myself.”

“Alright then, eat up, I want to see how much you can eat.”

“Of course, I need to replenish my energy.”

“Let’s see if we can develop a crocodile’s head.”

Ye Chen started tidying up the place a bit, making it feel more like home. The environment was excellent with mountains and water. It was also close to a lake where he could see the ships floating back and forth.

It wasn’t as bustling as outside, but the peacefulness was appreciated.

Ye Chen asked, “So you won’t have to hover around me all the time anymore, right?”

“No way, you need to take me out for a walk at night.”

“I’ve thought of that already, I’ll have something else carry you.” With that, he took a rather small dog out of a box.

“What do you mean?”

“If you take over this dog’s body, can’t the dog take you out?”

All of a sudden, a whip lashed out, scaring the dog to an extent that it ran off down the street. Ye Chen ran out after it, but the dog had completely disappeared.

“Why? Didn’t you say I need to train? I can’t spend all day with you. I brought the dog to keep you company, isn’t that nice?”

The Red Demonic Spirit gave a cold laugh upon hearing this.

“It’s fine if you don’t like it. I’m just scared that one day you’ll see someone you like and, like last time, you’ll control me to pounce on them and kiss them. I can’t handle that.”

“You’re really daydreaming,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

“It’s not that I’m daydreaming. I’m afraid that if I act strangely, people on the streets will think I’ve lost my mind, and then I wouldn’t be able to stay here,” said Ye Chen.

“Still thinking about that girl, huh? You’re not on the same path. Forget your desires, focus on the studies, let go of distractions, and persevere till the end.”

“How do you know we’re not on the same path?”

“The next time you see her and she doesn’t skin you alive, it’d be strange.”

“All this mess is your doing. One day, I will explain everything to her. I will let her know that I am a gentleman.”

“Tell her it was me who possessed you.”

“Yes, indeed.”

“Now hurry up and close that door.”

“What a pity about my dog. I was just going to enjoy a plate of dog meat.”

“That little one was still nursing, and you wanted to eat it.”

“It does seem a little cruel, but it’s probably nutritious.”
