Chapter 68

Jiang Mang had started his training to become an incubus. Elder Zhu made him learn how to step with correct posture and make him learn how to make charming movements for the entire morning. Every time he made a mistake, she berated him and had him start over. She also made him learn all the abilities of a butler as it had been proven that their jobs innately contained the aspects of the charm dao for males.

When evening arrived, she stopped his training and informed him to return tomorrow morning. She also informed him that he wouldn't receive any other type of training until any of his movements and actions were ingrained with the word charm.

This news made him depressed, and even Gu Hei was laughing about his circumstances and adamant master. When he returned to his dwelling, the two girls and Xiao Liu were cultivating inside. They had transformed the cave to become clean and orderly. It had been decorated with necessities like a kitchen, dining room, sleeping quarters, and multiple meditation chambers. They had also reserved a room for a library, but as there were no books it was still empty except for a desk and seat.

Jiang Mang was impressed by the changes when he checked them through his inner view. The two girls had noticed his arrival due to the music and readied themselves to help him. He asked their names, and they answered that they were called Lu Chang and Zi Bai. He started calling the sister Chang and sister Bai as they were older than him.

He then informed them, that he didn't need them to serve him and that their only task was to keep the place clean and handle some inconvenient tasks for him. The two girls felled lucky to have such a kind senior as their master. They vowed to serve him well and not bring him trouble.

He then started talking with his two new sisters about his training to vent his frustrations, but the girls couldn't help and laugh about it, even Xiao Liu laughed with him.

The girls quickly regained their calm and they tried to help Jiang Mang by offering some ideas. They advised him that if he wanted to train something else, he best tries to learn everything as soon as possible, so he should try to become used to moving and acting like in the training and try to perform these things continuously.

He looked towards the girls, who were trying to advise him and thanked them because he knew that they were right. He, however, didn't want to do it alone, so to motivate himself, he ordered the two girls to accompany him in his 'training.'

From that moment on Jiang Mang and the two girls started behaving and acting in ways that invoked charm and nobility. They were at first awkward about it and unused to but as the evening transpired they had become used to it and it had become common.

The next morning, Jiang Mang headed towards the cabin again, but this time Lu Chang and Zi Bai accompanied him to his training. Master Zhu questioned their attendance but laughed when she heard Jiang Mang's reasoning while also approving of the advice that the two girls had given him. She again explained that a charm cultivator had to embody charm in both heart and soul to be to advance in the charm dao, or they would hit a bottleneck they couldn't overcome, which would halt their cultivation.

Jiang Mang and the two girls then started training in learning the way to embody charm. The trio worked hard but was many times criticized and had to start over with the exercises. They repeated simple actions time and time again. This day, it was not only movements and actions, but she had also added singing and dancing to the training. She let the trio free at sunset and they returned to the cave where they continued their training by trying to incorporate all they learned and trained in their own behavior and actions. When night arrived, they started meditating and preparing for the next day.

The third day had arrived, and when the trio arrived at the cabin where elder Zhu was already waiting. She had planned to make the trio to resume the last day's training, but this time she provided the girls with clothes that showed their bodies and required them to perform their movements more perfectly to not ruin the charm by performing them wrong. She also presented Jiang Mang with a set of clothes, but these differed in women's robes as they not accentuated all of the men's body but also left loose parts which were to be used appropriately.

The girls accepted the clothes, before starting the training, but Jiang Mang refused, which angered elder Zhu. She had been pleased by his willingness to continue training after her lessons and had seen clear improvements after two days. She even knew that most young boys and certainly talented ones like Jiang Mang wouldn't like this type of training, but he had accepted them after some short placating.

Now, however, he kept protesting even after explaining her reasons for giving him the clothes. She eventually lost her temper and forcibly bound him with her qi.

Jiang Mang was now immobile and unable to move. She then forcibly took him inside the cabin and changed him herself. This happened all under his other master's eyes who turned a blind eye while looking at him with eyes saying I can't help you, dear disciple.

Jiang Mang was extremely embarrassed after having his master forcibly change his clothes and obediently started training. His master, however, was still angry and increased the trio's training until nightfall. She also had them remain in these clothes and tasked them to wear these clothes daily.

The fourth day came soon, and they resumed training. Jiang Mang had become extremely obediënt after yesterday and tried with utmost effort. He never repeated mistakes he made, and early signs of charm could be detected in his movements. Last night, he had kept training and incorporating the movements into his behavior and he hadn't even cultivated. Elder Zhu was quite pleased with his progression.

The fifth and sixth days were repeats of the third and fourth days of training. Jiang Mang had become accustomed to it and had come to accept the fact that he needed to learn this as the foundation of his charm techniques. He had also become accustomed to the special robes which accentuated special parts of the body and clothing to enhance his ability to exhibit charm.

The two girls had also become used to it and even liked it as it had increased their confidence in themselves. They also wore their robes with confidence and although not being able to use all of its charms. They were able to wear them without looking awkward or unnatural.

On the seventh day, the two girls were exempted from the training, while Jiang Mang was reminded to come on time. He was at first puzzled, but when he arrived and had gotten an explanation, he didn't even voice anything and just tried to run away. His master was, however, prepared and bound him again with qi.

She had prepared a medicinal bad for him combined with a technique for him to cultivate. Due to his cultivation of the Charm body, his skin had become as hard as jade. His master believed however that while it had to retain that hardness against cuts or attacks, it should also be soft to the touch. This was because soft skin would allow him to use his soft skin to increase his charm when he touched people.

For this purpose, she had created a medicinal bad that would soften and whiten his skin while retaining its hardness. It was accompanied by a technique called Maiden's beauty ritual and originated from the Holy maiden sect. It was however not an exclusive technique and could thus be taught to Jiang Mang without problems. She had however exempted the two girls as the medicinal bad is quite expensive.

She had planned to have Jiang Mang take one every week for three months until the technique had been cultivated to perfection. She released Jiang Mang from his bindings and accepted the fact he couldn't escape and earnestly cultivated the technique inside the medicinal bad.

He returned to the cave at noon and it could already be seen that his skin had become smoother and his features had also become softer and less sharp. He also repeated the training from the previous days in the cave, while trying to incorporate all of its aspects in his behavior.
