Now Giok Cu understood, and even though his head was still dizzy, he laughed at this.
"Young Dragon? Heh-heh, Master is joking. Last night, when i was fishing in the boat, a snake bit my bait, and i was dragged into the water. The snake wrapped around me, and luckily, Han Beng helped me. He's a very kind boy, Master. The snake then attacked Han Beng, and i even saw it bite Han Beng's shoulder. I also saw Han Beng retaliate, biting the snake's neck. Because i wanted to help Han Beng, i bit the snake's tail!"
"And you sucked and drank the young dragon's blood?"
"Master, was that snake really a dragon child?"
"Snake or young dragon, did you suck and drink its blood?"
Giok Cu smiled shyly.
"When i bit down with all my might, i tasted the blood, warm, slightly salty, sweet, and fishy, making me want to vomit. But because i wanted to help Han Beng, i kept biting, and yes, i sucked and swallowed the blood."
"A lot?" Thousand Poison Devil asked eagerly.
"I don't know, Master. Maybe a few sips, and i saw Han Beng biting the snake's neck."
"Hmm, of course he drank more. Let me see your hand!" The woman held Giok Cu's hand and used the nail of her left pinky finger, the only one that was pure white and non-poisonous, to scratch the skin on her inner arm.
Blood dripped, and Thousand Poison Devil quickly brought the child's arm to his mouth and sucked it out. She was disappointed. As an expert, she could sense that the child's blood had indeed been infused with the miraculous power of the young dragon's blood, but only a very small amount.
It had no meaning or benefit to anyone else. At most, this girl's blood could only be used as a body-strengthening medicine, something she could obtain from sea roots or other herbs. However, for the girl herself, it might bring other powers.
"Giok Cu, try to use all your strength and hit my palm."
Giok Cu obeyed her teacher's command. She clenched her right fist and hit the woman's left palm with all her might.
"Plakkkk…...!" Thousand Poison Devil was shocked. "No kidding," she thought. This girl, unknowingly, because of the properties of the young dragon's blood, now possessed an extraordinary, powerful, and fiery punches!
Even the average martial arts expert probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that blow! Her own arm was trembling.
And Giok Cu had done this without realizing the hidden power within her body. If the girl could control this miraculous power, she would certainly become a very formidable figure! And this girl is her student! Even though she couldn't use the blood in this girl's body for her own benefit, at least she would have a special student, a replacement for her daughter, and she also develop feelings for Giok Cu.
Thousand Poison Devil invited Giok Cu back to Ceng Touw. The girl was amazed and overjoyed to discover that her teacher lived in a large and luxurious house, served by dozens of female servants. She never imagined that her teacher was so wealthy! And that she loved her so much.
From then on, Giok Cu began to be trained in the basics of martial arts by Thousand Poison Devil. The child was very intelligent, diligent, and also lively and witty, which further delighted Thousand Poison Devil. However, Thousand Poison Devil secretly felt anxious whenever she thought of her daughter.
Giok Cu was so beautiful, so sweet, and her disposition was so lively, witty, and cheerful. A girl like this was very romantic, and her only possible weakness was being seduced by a man who captured her heart. She was afraid that what happened to Lan Ci would happen again, and she was very worried.
She called out to Giok Cu.
"My good disciple, from now on you must be diligent and obey all my orders."
"Of course, Master. Who else would i obey but Master? I have no one else but Master in this world!"
Giok Cu replied happily, looking at her teacher with her beautiful, trusting eyes. She vaguely remembered how cruel this beautiful teacher was to her enemies, but her teacher was very skilled and cared for her.
"Now, prepare to endure a little pain. I will give you a sign, for your own good in the future. Straighten your left arm!"
Without the slightest fear and with a look of trust in her teacher, Giok Cu straightened her left arm. When her teacher instructed her, she unhesitatingly rolled up her sleeve, revealing her small, smooth, white arm from above the elbow to the hand.
Thousand Poison Devil took out a prepared yellow pouch, opened it, and took out a gold needle wrapped in white silk. The tip of the gold needle looked very red, and it had indeed been treated with some kind of red poison.
"Now, be prepared to suffer a little pain in your arm, Giok Cu. Aren't you afraid?"
The girl shook her head, her eyes shining.
"What should i be afraid of, Master? I'm sure that Master will do everything for my good."
The demon woman secretly felt delighted. This child was truly delightful. Open, honest, innocent, stubborn, brave, and a child like this was certainly one whose loyalty could be trusted.
"I will pierce your arm with this needle!" she said.
After examining the arm, she inserted the gold needle into the inside of Giok Cu's arm, just below the elbow.
Giok Cu felt how painful the prick was. It was stinging, hot, and itchy. However, she didn't complain, even biting her lip to keep from complaining. When the pain spread throughout her arm, Giok Cu closed her eyes and concentrated her inner strength to endure it. Shortly after, the needle was removed.
"Sit cross-legged, let the pain spread throughout your body, until it finally weakens and disappears." Thousand Poison Devil said, and Giok Cu obeyed. She sat cross-legged, her eyes still closed, and she felt the intense heat, stinging, and itching that caused intense pain spread throughout her body. And she still didn't complain. Finally, the pain lessened and disappeared. Only then did she open his eyes and look at his teacher with joy.
"Sure enough, Master wouldn't harm me. However, may i know what this needle prick and pain mean, Master?"
"Look at your arm where i stabbed you."
Giok Cu looked at her arm. There, below the elbow on the inside of her arm, was a red spot like a small mole. It wasn't bad, in fact, it was a nice decoration on her smooth, white arm.
"What's this, Master?" She rubbed it with her right finger to see if the red mole could be removed.
"You can't get rid of it, no matter how you wash it, Giok Cu. That red mark will only disappear if you lose your virginity! That red mark is a sign of your virginity, and once you have sex with someone, you will lose your virginity."
The little girl's eyes widened at her teacher, filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"Oh, Master, please don't play around and scare me!"
"Stupid child! Who's messing with you?"
"But... but..." The girl was confused. It's still too small, only ten years old, to understand about
virginity of all kinds, but because she is a smart child, she could guess that his teacher was instilling some kind of poison in her body which is a kind of Punishment for violation of a prohibition.
"Why did Master do this to me?"
