Holding out a mock sword, Jinhua parries an attack from her left as she slid vertically to the right.

Another attack was quickly composed by her apprentice downwards.

Jinhua twisted on the heels of her feet and gracefully dodged her dragon blade, "Your attacks are getting sloppy. Is something clouding your mind?" She asked patiently while jabbing her mock katana forward at Mei's shoulder.

Mei stumbled backwards and let out a sigh, "N-No! ....Maybe." She swung her whole body around and brought her blade down from across her shoulder, "I don't know—! It's just.. MK kinda ditched me for Tang when going on a perilous mission..."

Jinhua raised a brow and quickly disarmed her opponent, swiftly, "Well we can stop here and talk about it if you want." She snapped her finger and her mock blade lit ablaze.

Mei jutted her bottom lip, "That would be nice..." She sheathed her blade and looked back up at the back porch.

There standing, was Jinhua's lover and partner, Macaque. The one she's heard so much about.

All Mei knows was that he disappeared and suddenly appeared out of no where. She doesn't mind the whole suspicion and secrecy as long as her master was happy again.

Another little surprise was that Ren was quietly living with the two and hasn't spoken a word to her when she came by to train with Jinhua.

Dipping her head in a respectful bow, Mei greeted Macaque with a small wave and smile.

Macaque nodded in greeting and handed the demoness and apprentice something to drink and some rags to wipe the sweat away, "I'll be inside fixing dinner if you need me." He turned back inside with a nod at Mei before descending into the wooden porch like a melted purple popsicle.

Jinhua had already situated herself and patted the spot next to her on the stairs, "So tell me all about this MK situation."

"Ugh—!! Master, why are boys so annoying!?" Mei paused for a moment to recollect her thoughts before exhaling a breathe of exhaustion, "Well before I can here to blow off steam... MK and Tang went to Flower Fruit Mountain to retrieve some sort of Vase Relic to take in a giant dumpling that fell from the Celestial Realm...!" She explain rather shortly.

"So that's what it was..." Jinhua muttered with a frown, "And where was Wukon— I mean.. Monkey King—?"

Mei shrugged with a frown now thinking about it, "I dunno but apparently from what I've heard from MK. Monkey King had a massive food fight with the giants up in the Celestial Realm..!"

Jinhua raised a brow at this, "Wait so your telling me that Monkey King isn't training MK?"

Mei stiffened at the demoness' tone, "I mean now that you said it..."

Jinhua felt her skin prick in unease, "And he's in Celestial Realm, at that..." She stood up from her spot in a bolt of anger.

"Mei, I'll need you to head inside until I return." Jinhua stated in a stern tone.
