Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

"What is that... hsss~"

The elegant eyebrows furrowed deeply, knitting tightly together. Just putting her neatly in place, she could feel a heart-wrenching pain coursing through her body.

Especially during the short trip of less than a quarter of an hour when he carried her home, without any fighting, her muscles completely relaxed and the side effects began to manifest.

She had never experienced such a torturous ordeal in her life. Although she was exceptionally talented, she lacked experience in dealing with the harsh beatings of society. However, this scene made a certain scoundrel's mouth uncontrollably curl upwards.

If it was a physical ailment, right now Jiang Feng would definitely be frantically running in circles, probably already rushing to Qingxia Peak to quickly summon help, trying to find a way to save his junior sister's life.

However.

Her body, although overworked, ultimately didn't injure the internal organs or bones, so it wouldn't affect her future cultivation.

With his palm placed on her forehead and feeling carefully, he could ascertain that this little girl's internal organs, although struck by lightning, weren't severely damaged. It's estimated that a two or three days' rest would suffice for her to recover completely, thanks to the timely intervention.

His lips trembled uncontrollably, but ultimately he held it back.

"Ah, adrenaline, it's simple. When battling someone and getting injured or when your body is pushed to its limits, you suddenly feel no pain, no fatigue, and possess boundless strength, far exceeding your usual capability."

"This indicates that adrenaline has kicked in. As for how long it lasts, well, that depends on how long you can keep fighting, but the cost..."

"See, it's like you now."

Talking as he took out some elixirs.

These pills were not Spirit Pills, but rather to alleviate pain. Liang Yu now resembled a couch potato who hadn't exercised in ages and was then chased by a tiger for dozens of kilometers.

Initially, it might seem fine. Though exhausted while running, one could persevere, but upon resting, the body straightforwardly begins to retaliate.

Although the description varies slightly, the overall scenario is quite similar. Jiang Feng too started this way but has spent the past two years researching, allowing his body to slowly adapt to this level of stimulus. It was Liang Yu's first time utilizing it, so naturally, she collapsed.

With effort, she opened her small mouth to swallow the elixir, which, besides relieving pain, also contained a Heart Cleansing Pill to regulate the restless energy within her body.

Seeing Liang Yu seemingly listening to him speak, Mr. Jiang opted to continue diverting her attention.

"With things like this, as long as you're often putting your life on the line, you can frequently experience the adrenaline surge, intense and thrilling."

"You've always been within the Country Liang, even if you venture out, there's probably someone following you inconspicuously to prevent real trouble from arising. If it were me, I wouldn't let you truly go out risking your life."

"Oh, but Senior Sister is different, she would."

"Let me clarify first, Senior Sister practices a classic free-range style of teaching. If someone is bullying you based on seniority, she might interfere, but if people of the same generation are fighting, she won't bat an eye even if you're beaten to death."

"You didn't see her still sitting there watching the show, did you?"

Her pretty face scrunched in pain, all her features twisted together. Even if she trained hard, being a princess from the royal family, Mr. Jiang's words weren't incorrect that whenever she got into trouble, someone was stealthily following her.

Indeed, the last time she went to catch Jiang Feng, there were people following her.

Lifting her shoulder to open the door, he placed the trembling, sweating girl on the bed. The man finally breathed a sigh of relief, as this little ancestor was truly a handful.

It's like being both a father and a mother, not only needing to teach but also to coax, and when something goes wrong, having to clean up the mess himself. The key is...

I'm only twenty this year!

"Junior Sister, the last time we sparred, I noticed though you've practiced a lot, you probably lack any live-battle experience. Well, I don't see risking lives as something to be encouraged."

"But every time you surpass the physical and cultivation limits, you can learn a lot, gaining a lot of insights. I can pat my chest and assure you that after your initial lesson, the next time you use this move, you'll be more proficient and gain more insights."

Glancing at the girl's arm exposed outside, her formerly smooth and round arm was now bulging with veins, the muscles knotted together like worms drilling into the body, frantically writhing, a truly chilling sight.

He knew Liang Yu was likely in excruciating pain by now. All he could do was try to divert this little girl's attention as much as possible.

"I've encountered situations like yours many times, can't help it; your senior brother here has no other fortes, just loves courting death."

"Not long after I started practicing, stupidly provoked an old dog at the Nascent Soul Stage. I mean, I just cut down his disciple, and it was his disciple who started it."

"Ended up being chased like a grandson for six or seven hundred miles. I gulped down two Scarlet Pills for Body Refining, almost burst myself."

"Traveled non-stop all day, rushing, being pursued, Daoist Skill never stopped, gulped down three or four bottles of random elixirs, by the end of it all, I couldn't even see clearly, didn't know what the hell I was swallowing."

"You probably investigated this incident, but you certainly don't know the details. The Cen Family young lady was dragging me along at the front, while I was launching Daoist Skills from behind, finally holding out until Yu Ying came to rescue."
