A week passed and S continued to administer her Qi to a "sleeping" Jun.

All the while Jun continued to secretly focus on his Sensei's every move.

As the days passed Jun became less and less sure of himself. 

At first he believed his Sensei to have an evil scheme, but now as he watched her dedication through the days, doubt began to grow in his heart.

"Does she truly have no ulterior motive?" He silently wondered.

After all, every night he watched his Sensei, and every night without fail she would gently place her fingers across his skin and spread her Qi into his body.

Her calming scent was now etched in his mind along with her warming presence that embraced his soul.

Although he was confused about her more than ever, his body was honest.

After she left him each night, his body continued to crave her touch like it had always done in the last three years, only now he finally knew the object of his desires.

He began to feel strange and warm whenever the woman crossed his mind, his heart would swiftly beat and now he even dreamed about her at night...

After she left, when he managed to sleep he always dreamt about her. 

At first his dreams started out innocent with his Sensei's gentle fingertips simply brushing against his skin, but over time his mind turned weird as his dreams evolved into more "intimate" things. 

A passion burned in Jun's heart as he wanted the woman to continue touching him deeper, not only that but he also wanted to touch his Sensei all over.

Now he couldn't even look his Sensei straight in the eyes for the way his mind wandered at night.

Even during the day when she kicked him in sparring he realized he was happy to feel her touch...

Something as minor as that was enough to excite his heart.

He had grown truly despicable and he knew it.

Yes, he was definitely turning strange... simply a lunatic!

Again, seeing it was night S visited the familiar structure. Swiftly she glided in through the window as her clothes fluttered beautifully under the ray of the moonlight. Stepping forward she quietly approached the "sleeping" Jun.

As she began to transfer her Qi she suddenly felt a wave of uneasiness. 

To stabilize herself she rested against the wooden walls as a brutal cough welled up in her throat. Using her robe as a shield she quickly and violently coughed into it. 

Believing Jun to be under the effects of the herbs she wasn't worried that he'd wake up.

Pulling her hand away the taste of iron filled her mouth and red stains messed up her prestigious robes.

"Ah, it seems that I've been giving him too much Qi lately." Without reserve she accidentally spoke out knowing no one in the quiet night would hear her.

The Villain turned quiet as she silently thought about her body's condition. 'Although I always make sure to meditate and heal my Qi depletion, it seems like I've been too lazy lately and stressed it out a little too much...'

S wasn't worried though, it's not like she would die anytime soon, no she would only die when the world came to its completion.

With that in mind she quickly got to work and started transferring her Qi to the "sleeping" man.

All the while Jun had heard the violent cough and smell of iron in the air. 

Unconsciously he had almost "woken up" to help his Sensei but still he remained stiff. 

When he heard her voice in the silent night, suddenly all his thoughts were confirmed.

"All this time she has actually been giving me her Qi... and her bodies growing weak from it...?" Jun was stunned.

What he couldn't understand was that right after coughing so violently his Sensei still seemed unfazed as she continued to give him her Qi.

He was sure the moment she coughed up blood she would go out and give up or grow angry, but instead she stayed calm and quietly transferred her Qi to him.

It was unlike the Sensei he thought he knew all this time... 

Although he remained still and "asleep", inwardly he was scared, he felt nauseated from the scent of iron that filled the air blocking out the calming fragrance of florals mixed with spice.

S continued to silently give her Qi away without complaint as half an hour passed.

'Done.' She silently thought as she finally removed her now cold hands. 

After finishing she felt tired, every night while the Qi continued to leave her body she was growing weaker and weaker. 

Her circulation was growing poor causing cold hands and numb feet. Soon her meridians would grow crippled and she would truly become a waste, this is what it meant to continually use the technique to transfer Qi. 

Still the Villain cared little about such things.

She would keep just enough Qi to maintain appearances and put up a last good fight before "the end."

This was all she cared about.

With nothing left to do S quietly turned and swiftly glided out into the cool dark night.

After she left, a pair of dark eyes once again shone in the night contemplating what had just happened. 

For the past few weeks Jun had grown suspicious of his Sensei's actions towards him, but now he was certain of it.

Whatever his Sensei's intentions towards him were, he was sure she had been deceiving him.

She had been giving him her Qi all this time without reserve and now she was even growing sick from it. 

He couldn't think up any reason she would be doing such a thing for her own gain.

"Does she not actually... hate me?" Jun's heart suddenly fluttered at the thought.

He dared not get his hopes up but it was too late as his heart swiftly beat with immeasurable happiness.

However his comfort was short lived as he thought about his Sensei giving him Qi. 

Although he still couldn't completely understand the situation he knew he couldn't let her give him Qi for even another night.

He was scared, his heart felt chilled as he could still smell the faint scent of iron present in the air. 

From the moment he met his Sensei he never liked seeing her blood and now he hated it more than anything.

"How can I stop her?" He clenched his trembling hands, no matter what he had to make her stop.

"Ah."

Suddenly Jun recalled the last time his Sensei stopped giving him Qi, it was when she caught him awake....

If that was the case, then the solution was simple. 

In the calm night, as the Villain headed to her room she suddenly felt a deep chill...


Desert Note: 

All the while a lone cultivator maintained his distance in the forest trees above as he silently meditated, he wondered if it was about time he made an appearance.
