The next morning Rowen hurries back to the valley again. This time he brings a lot of food with him and over the next few days he is completely absorbed in the Sun and Moon Mind Method. In a few short days, it is clear that he is in much better shape than before.
At one night, Rowen sits in the valley bathing in moonlight. He practices the sun-and-moon mind method as usual with his eyes slightly closed. For the first few days he practiced within the body of the iron armored beast, but yesterday the iron armored beast told him that it would be better off if he practiced directly in the sunlight or moonlight.
Moonlight sprinkles on him, and he feels a cool energy going smooth into his body and his veins. Now he knows that this energy is the breath of the sun and the moon. The masculine energy absorbed during the day and the feminine power absorbed at night are combined to become the breath of the sun and the moon.
Suddenly, Rowen opens his eyes because he hears something. Since he began practicing the Sun and Moon Mind Method, he has found his senses sharper for his hearing and vision becomes better. The valley is quiet day and night, and the slightest movement of wind and grass cannot escape his ears.
Rowen figures out it is the sound of foot as it becomes clear. The sound is coming from a stone not far from him, and it doesn’t sound that anyone is trying to hide his movements.
Soon Rowen sees a figure who doesn’t expect anyone to be there. That man doesn’t notice Rowen, but hurries toward the pond. As he approaches nearer, Rowen finally figures out what that man looks like through the moonlight.
It is a girl in an enchanter’s robes. She’s slender with brown hair that falls to her waist, and her pretty face looks even more beautiful under the moonlight, but Rowen is so surprised to see her here.
Rowen is no stranger to this young girl, because she is Caroline’s sister, Kellen, a student of magic at the royal knights college, a level-Ⅲenchanter of the water system.
Kellen still doesn’t perceive the existence of Rowen, and what she does next just surprised Rowen to gape. She quickly takes off her robe and removes the underwear inside, in a twinkling of an eye, she’s all naked. And her whole body is completely exposed in front of Rowen.
Bathed in moonlight, Kellen’s body shines under the moonlight and it looks so gorgeous that it even shocked Rowen. For 16 years, it is the first time for Rowen to see a completely naked woman body. And for this moment, he is completely at a loss but fixes his eyes on Kellen’s body until Kellen shouts and jumps into water.
Kellen is enjoying herself in the pond and scooping water over herself with both her hands. It’s quite unlike Rowen’s impression of Kellen.
Rowen didn’t like that Kellen when he was a boy, but he didn’t know why he would think that. When he grew up, he seldom sees Kellen, but people of the town do not seem to have much of a liking for this frosty lady from the Tiger family. Although Kellen is prettier and in far better shape than Caroline, Caroline is far more popular in this town than Kellen.
Rowen gets up from the ground and walks over to the pond where Kellen is swimming like a happy mermaid. She is too happy to feel Rowen’s presence.
Rowen feels overwhelmed with a wisp of warmth surging from his heart. Most of Kellen’s body is wrapped in the water but that clear water still makes her body displayed before his eyes with a hazy feeling, and even more tempting, especially for Rowen, who has never seen a girl’s young body. It is like a fatal magic.
Kellen’s long legs rise out of the water and shapes a single line. She plunges into the bottom of the pond and then with a graceful turn, she darts out of the water leaping out like a fish. But suddenly she lets out an earth-shattering scream. “ah… ”
“You’re in a good mood, miss Kellen, swimming naked so late at night.”
There is a hint of sarcasm in Rowen’s voice, and he is not afraid to let Kellen know he is here. In fact, he knows that there are not many obstacles in the valley, and that Kellen will surely find him unless he hides, but he doesn’t want to hide, so he chooses to make a clean appearance in front of her.
“You are Rowen?” Kellen almost completely submerges herself into the pond leaving her head on top of the water and with her hands put over her chest. She looks at Rowen with a look of shame on her face. “You, turn around and don’t look at me!”
“Miss Kellen, you are too late to say this, because I have seen every inch of your body!” says Rowen causally. In fact, he can see Kellen’s fair skin and lovely curves even as she hides herself in the water.
“You!” Karen looks at Rowen with gritted teeth. “You rascal!”
“Miss Kellen, it’s me who come here the first and it’s you who take off cloths in front of me. I just can’t refuse your intention of letting me see your body.” Rowen replies easily.
“You!” “I even didn’t Know your existence!” Kellen is so angry.
“It’s your fault, not mine.” Rowen still fixes his eyes on her body. “But now, Miss Kellen, I hope you leave now for you disturb my practice.”
“You are practicing here?” Kellen gives a slight start and then she shouts angrily at him, “how can I dress when you look at me like that?”
“I have said that I have already seen every inch of your body and if I look twice, it will make no difference.” says Rowen looking disapprovingly.
“Rowen, you bastard!” Kellen says angrily.
“I don’ mind if you will stay in the water forever.” Rowen says slightly.
“Rowen, you just want to play a shame on me, right?” Kellen suddenly calms down and her voice becomes cold, “Then I’ll grant your wish.”
Kellen gets up naked from the pond and slowly wipes the water off her body. She doesn’t care anyone’s watching and then she puts on her clothes to cover her body.
With a flick of her hair, Kellen looks back at Rowen and says coldly, “in your eyes, this place belongs to you and Caroline, so when you saw me here, you were angry and deliberately insulted me, didn’t you?”
At that moment, Rowen notices that Kellen has reverted to be the chilly lady from the Tiger Family.
“I know you like Caroline, but I want to tell you that you’d better forget that idea, and I will not let your dream come true as long as I, Kellen, live!” There is a hint of hate in Kellen’s cold voice.
“Miss Kellen, I’ll appreciate you if you’d better tell your sister not to bother me anymore.” Rowen also replies coldly.
“Is that so? Then you will soon get your wish.” There is a hint of satisfaction in Kellen’s cold voice. “Tomorrow, after Caroline’s coming-of-age ceremony, our father will arrange her marriage. By the way, I can tell you that our father has chosen a good man for her and they may get engagement tomorrow!” Kellen suddenly thinks of something. “By the way, I heard that Caroline decided to invite you to the ceremony. Maybe you can meet Caroline’s future husband tomorrow!”
“I would like to see your future husband, oh, perhaps the current husband. Your sister is going to get married, so you must be married soon,” Rowen sneers.
“I am only seventeen now, and I have no intention of marrying.” “Of course, I know Caroline doesn’t want to get married either. She’s only sixteen, and if she does want to marry someone, she must want to marry you. Unfortunately, she’s not me and she can’t decide her future!”
Kellen speaks with an unconscious smugness. “You all think Caroline is better than me. You all like Caroline better than me. But she knows nothing, she has no magic, no energy, she’s not a summoner. The only value of her is for marriage, and I, an enchanter of great talent, can decide my future, whom I shall marry or not, of my own choice! ‘
“To gloat over one’s own sister not coming to a good end, Kellen, how evil you are!” Says Rowen coldly.
“Isn’t it more pathetic, Rowen, that the girl you like has to marry someone else, and you can’t change anything?” Kellen retorts.
“I’m not interested in the woman of your Tiger family.” Says Rowen coldly.
“Rowen, you’re not only pathetic, you’re hypocritical!” Kellen smiles sneeringly.” “You’ll be sorry you’ve offended me some day!”
“I never regret anything I’ve done.” “By the way, you’d better get out of here if you don’t want everyone in this town to know you’ve got a crescent on your hip.”
“You!” An involuntary flush of shame flashes over Kellen’s face and she feels more exasperated. She looks at Rowen with hatred. “I want to kill you!”
With an indignant snort, Karen turns and leaves. She doesn’t fight with Rowen which makes Rowen a little surprised; in fact, he is hoping she would start a battle so that he can try the power of the iron armored beast again.
