So, Wang Ye could only stand by and silently watch.

In his heart, he pondered how to repay Lin Shuang after she finished building the house for him.

Wang Ye thought about it while his gaze settled on Lin Shuang, but in reality, his mind was entirely occupied with other matters; he hadn't paid any attention to Lin Shuang's looks at all.

Five to six minutes passed.

Lin Shuang turned her head to look at Wang Ye and tried to attempt a smile, but in the end, her mouth merely twitched slightly. Even Lin Shuang started to feel discouraged.

As a result, the joyful sound she had wanted to express got stuck in her throat, giving Lin Shuang an uncomfortable feeling.

At that moment,

Lin Shuang noticed Wang Ye's gaze on her.

She blushed immediately.

Wang Ye's eyes, how undisguised they were.

If it were anyone else looking at Lin Shuang with that expression, like the senior brother from the Cold Sect, Lin Shuang would have felt annoyed long ago and might have already started a fight.

But, when Wang Ye looked at her with those eyes.

Lin Shuang didn't feel that way in her heart.

Instead, she felt somewhat embarrassed and her heart beat very fast.

After some reflection, Wang Ye finally realized something was amiss. Seeing Lin Shuang's flushed face, he thought she might be having some problems, and he asked with concern:

"What's wrong, do you have some issues?"

"I..."

Lin Shuang's voice was cold.

She looked at Wang Ye a bit reproachfully.

It was clearly you staring at me the whole time, yet now you're pretending to ask me why has it turned out this way?

But these reproachful words were only in Lin Shuang's mind for the time being, as she couldn't bring herself to voice them aloud.

"The room is now built. I have some beast skins and furs in my room, I'll go and get them for you."

Having said that,

Lin Shuang hurried back to her own room.

Wang Ye watched Lin Shuang's retreating figure and extended his Divine Sense around to check the surroundings, noticing footprints of small animals like rabbits moving about.

Then he would make Lin Shuang some barbecue.

After all, Wang Ye's culinary skills were quite good.

Back on Earth Star, Wang Ye's several senior sisters would ask him to cook for them, and if the food wasn't satisfactory, though they wouldn't say anything upfront, they would look at Wang Ye with disappointed eyes.

This led Wang Ye to practice his cooking skills diligently, not wanting to let his senior sisters down.

Especially barbecuing.

After all, up in the mountains, the only way to cook was pretty much just to barbecue.

Soon after getting everything ready,

Wang Ye greeted Lin Shuang and then headed off to another part of Ice Flower Mountain.

He planned to catch some rabbits to barbecue for Lin Shuang.

But to Lin Shuang, he simply said he was going to take a casual look around Ice Flower Mountain, and he declined her offer to accompany him.

...

At Ice Flower Mountain.

In a certain place.

Wang Ye executed the Flowing Water Sword Technique, and his Liu Yun Sword floated swiftly towards a rabbit in front of him.

The speed was extremely fast.

However, just as Wang Ye's Liu Yun Sword was about to pierce through the rabbit, it escaped right in front of him.

Wang Ye fell silent.

This was the ninth rabbit he had seen.

The previous eight had all eluded him during the capture process.

Wang Ye began to doubt his life.

Had he come to the Ice Sect only to find that he couldn't even catch a rabbit?

If the rabbits in Spirit Star were more sensitive and faster than the disciples on Earth Star, then logically speaking, Wang Ye, who had dealt with Seventh-Rank Demon Beasts in Yao Demon Mountain, should have no reason to fail at catching these rabbits.

Lin Shuang was assessing Wang Ye's rabbit-catching attempts from a tree branch.

Upon seeing Wang Ye's continuous failures, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, a smile so warm that it seemed capable of melting all the ice in the Ice Sect.

After smiling, the image of Wang Ye in Lin Shuang's heart rose another notch.

Ordinary rabbits, Wang Ye could naturally catch.

But the rabbits in the Ice Sect were clearly no ordinary rabbits.

They were raised by Lin Shuang herself.

Some of the leftover materials from heavenly treasures that Lin Shuang consumed were fed to these rabbits.

As a result, these rabbits all possessed the realm of Sixth-grade cultivators.

However, because these rabbits could not transform into Demon Beasts, even though they had the capabilities of Sixth-grade cultivators, they couldn't change into Demon Beasts.

Moreover, given the rabbits' innate traits, under special circumstances, even Mid-Stage Sixth Grade Cultivators would be unable to catch them.

In Lin Shuang's view, Wang Ye was using these rabbits as a means of training.

"Such a diligent person, truly hardworking,"

Lin Shuang thought to herself, "Elder Meng has already told him to rest, but here he is, still trying to catch rabbits to train himself. Could he actually achieve what he said in two years?"

Although Wang Ye's mention of "two years" was due to a misunderstanding, he didn't provide a new timeframe afterward.

And for some inexplicable reason, Lin Shuang felt that Wang Ye might truly break through to the realm of a Fourth Grade Cultivator within the short span of two years.

"You can definitely do it."

Staring at Wang Ye.

Lin Shuang thought silently in her heart.

…

Early the next morning.

Wang Ye got up directly at four o'clock.

While on Earth Star, he never had the habit of sleeping in and was accustomed to working day and night.

Meng Qian had told Wang Ye the day before that she planned to train him in the strictest manner possible.

He was ready!

No matter how strict it was, Wang Ye was confident that he could withstand it.

He didn't believe in miracles.

But he believed in himself.

At four o'clock and one minute.

Tearing through space.

Meng Qian appeared not far from the vicinity of Wang Ye's room.

Meng Qian, a Second Grade Cultivator.

In Spirit Star, because of the robustness of space, cultivators could only possess the ability to tear through space and move after reaching the realm of a Second Grade Cultivator.

And even then, they could only move instantly over a short distance.

In Spirit Star, a First Grade Cultivator was not the limit!

It was just the beginning of the top tier of power.

These were things that Wang Ye did not know, and no one had told him.

Because in their opinion, it would be a long time before Wang Ye could reach this realm, and by that time, Wang Ye would come to understand it in the process on his own.

Meng Qian's face was filled with a smile.

She thought that by arriving at four in the morning for a surprise attack to get Wang Ye to train, he would definitely be caught off guard.
