Everyday the protagonist wants to capture me

Chapter 84: Extra: 'Sword' Training

It had not been long since summer fell upon them, and already, it was sweltering on the mountain. Venturing outdoors was like having a basin of scalding water poured upon them. Even Chu Yu was drowsy, let alone the training disciples. However, to maintain the image of the original host, Chu Yu had to continue to be diligent in his cultivation, sword training, and guiding his shidis.

Sleeping at night had become a big problem.

Chu Yu had always been afraid of the heat. But Xie Xi loved to hug and cling on to him. On several occasions, Chu Yu had wanted to be OOC and kick him away. But then, the child would call him "shixiong" in a sweet voice, blink his clear eyes, and say, "It's very reassuring to hug shixiong like this."

Whenever Chu Yu's eyes met those bright eyes, his heart would soften. With a complicated expression, he thought: the bodies of cultivators with water-based spiritual energy were typically cooler in such summer nights; did this child's peace of mind come from treating him as a huggable air conditioner?

As he looked at Xie Xi nestling comfortably in his arms, Chu Yu sighed.

Don't kick him away... it's so hot.

Kick him away... this is the protagonist; Chu Yu was a little afraid.

Furthermore, the child looked reluctant to part from him and his eyes would fill with tears whenever he was given the cold shoulder. He looked so aggrieved that Chu Yu wanted to poke out his own eyes before shaking Xie Xi's shoulders harshly.

...... Protagonist, you can't do this. You are clearly a formidable, imposing, and murderous sword immortal!

After several rounds of struggles, Chu Yu still did not have the courage and heart to kick Xie Xi away. With nowhere to vent his anger, he set his eyes on those bunch of cannon fodder shidis.

Hoho, shidis, you are all very adorable.

The sun was so scorching at noon their heads were about to burst open like popcorn. Chu Yu wanted to torment everyone. So he picked up everyone, including Xie Xi, early in the morning and announced that there would be sword training at noon at the back cliff from now onwards. 

Third Shidi howled. "Eldest shixiong, you mustn't! We are almost dying from this weather. If we still have to train with our swords, our souls will scatter..."

Chu Yu was expressionless. "A cultivator must have an unwavering heart. Rain or shine, he must grind his teeth and push on. You guys are only at the Qi Cultivating Stage. If you beat a retreat just by training under the burning sun, then what's going to happen on the long road ahead to immortality? If you really can't hold on, then pack your stuff and get off the mountain. How could our Yuan Chen Peak disciples not even take this little hardship?"

Uh-huh, although the words were long and were all complete bullshit, he should not have been OOC...

Third Shidi was rendered speechless for a moment before he continued to wail, "Eldest shixiong, even if you don't care about us, think about Second Shixiong. He's so delicate, how could he survive this ordeal..."

Chu Yu was mulling over how to extract Xie Xi out of this cannon fodder team without attracting too much attention. So when he heard third shidi's remark, his eyes shone. He said calmly, "What you've said makes sense."
