Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Young master, how long will this training take?" Mia asked. She was already panting and sweating from the weight on her back.

"For a few weeks or until you get used to it" Liu Yang replied. He wanted to see what Mia's limit.

"Get used to it? This will be difficult. Young master, I am different from my mother, I am not a mage." Mia did not understand the reason for the training, even though Liu Yang explained to her several times about the meaning of the training.

"Mia, you will understand when the time comes." Liu Yang commented casually. He wasn't going to explain something that Mia wouldn't understand at the moment.

"Yes, young master. Mia will strive for that day to come "Mia has always heard the same thing when she asks Liu Yang about the reason for her training. But that never discouraged her, Mia always tried as hard as possible to continue carrying the backpack full of stone while the hot sun burns her body.

Liu Yang and Mia were the only ones wearing normal clothes, while Saria and Ivy wore black robes.

"Young master, why do you still have to carry little Ivy on your back? Does she have any problems? " Mia asked curiously, she always wanted to know about it.

Ivy was always sleeping or being carried out by Liu Yang. Mia and Sarina were curious as to why.

"I need to carry her because she has some difficulties at the moment. When she recovers, she will walk like you "Liu Yang made up an excuse. He didn't want the two women to see Ivy's powers, at least not yet.

Although Ivy lost her magical powers, she is like Liu Yang. A mage with a very strong body.

Ivy's childlike, thin body had a frightening strength. Her strength became even stronger after drinking Liu Yang's blood several times.

"Ohhh ... I also want to be carried by the young master" Mia spoke enviously. She has been held by Liu Yang before, but not for long.

Sarina was quiet because she is always carried before, during, and after activities by Liu Yang. She just smiled at the situation, her daughter was very silly at the time.

"Mia, if you can handle it until the end of this training. I will carry you on my back. " Liu Yang joke.

"Young master, I accept the challenge" Mia agreed with the challenge. She was more motivated than before, she even planned what to do when she was on Liu Yang's back.

Mia was not an innocent girl as she appears, she grew up in a hostile and very dangerous environment, she knows some things that young people her age would not know. Sarina just smiled at those words.

"It seems that our unwanted guests finally decided to show up ..." Ivy commented in a casual and sleepy tone, for her, the guests were just insects. But she remembered her current situation and didn't say much about it. Ivy went back to sleep after saying this, she was tired after sleeping so much and needs to sleep again.

"Young master, are we being followed?" Sarina and Mia were shocked to hear those words. They did not have enough skills to detect hidden people.

Sarina still had a little skill, but if the stalker was very skilled, she won't be able to detect the person.

"Yes. They've been following us since the moment we left the city. It looks like they are waiting for the best time to attack. "Liu Yang already knew he was being followed, but as the power on the other side was insignificant, he didn't care much.

"Young master, they saw ..." Sarina was embarrassed when she thought about the possibility that someone had seen her making those perverted moans and facial expressions while being penetrated by Liu Yang for several hours in various shameful positions.

"No, they didn't have much courage to approach us. At least they didn't even try. I think they must be waiting for the right time to do this "Liu Yang commented. Sarina was relieved when she heard those words.

Mia showed no change in her face when she saw her mother's embarrassed face and heard Liu Yang's words. It looked like she already knew this was happening. Liu Yang doing activities with her mother when she was sleeping.

(I need to grow up faster. So I can also do more perverted activities with the young master) Mia knew many things about the affairs of man and woman, she has seen many women penetrated by men in the alleys of the city where she lived before.

As a woman who was raised in a place where women were more open to relationships, Mia also thought that way.

"Young master, what are we going to do?" Sarina spoke with concern. She knew that Liu Yang was very strong and was confident that he could handle these people. But Sarina was still worried about her daughter.

"Sarina, have you killed anyone before?" Liu Yang asked. Like a mage who has lived in this desert for so many years, Liu Yang imagined that she had done this before.

"..."

"Yes, young master, I've killed people before" Sarina replied after closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She remembered her past a little before she was captured and tortured.

Mia never heard those words before, this was the first time she heard her mother say that she has killed someone before. Mia has had that thought before, but she never asked her mother about it.

The words Sarina confirmed her theories.

"It makes things easier." Liu Yang already expected Sarina to have experience in combat.

"Young master, do you want me to fight?" Sarina understood the hidden meaning of Liu Yang's words.

"Yes. I want you to fight people who are following you "

"Young master, I haven't fought a person for many years. I don't know if I can do it "Sarina had no confidence in fighting another person after so many years of standing without a fight.

Fighting a desert beast is better because that only had an instinct and has no intelligence, than fighting a human with both, instinct and intelligence.

"Sarina, I believe you can do this. Besides, this will serve as training for you to recover your battle instincts. "

"Young master…"

"Besides ... If you can do it, you will be properly rewarded in bed" Liu Yang appeared behind Sarina suddenly and whispered to her. Only she heard.

"Young master ..." Sarina was embarrassed to hear Liu Yang's words, but she had a smile on her face. Mia was unable to see her mother's face because of the hood, but she guessed that Liu Yang had said something motivating to her.

(Beast) Ivy thought. She thought Liu Yang was a libidinous beast who only thought about sex at all times.

"Sarina, do you accept to fight them?"

"Yes. I accept. "Sarina took a deep breath before preparing. She was trying to feel the sensation of fighting another person again.

"We will continue to walk for now. They must not attack us during the day because of the desert beasts. This will only bring a lot of problems for them. " Liu Yang realized that the other side needed time to make a sneak attack, which would also give Sarina time to prepare herself mentally.

"Yes, young master" The two women continued to follow Liu Yang. They were still carrying heavy backpacks.

Sarina knew that the fight would be very dangerous because she was already tired and fighting with this fatigue can be fatal.

Mia was worried about her mother, she didn't know what to do at the moment.

"Focus on training." Liu Yang saw that the two were out of focus and woke them up.

"Yes, young master" Sarina and Mia put more effort into training. They needed to get stronger for the next fights.

The mother and daughter duo understood that this was only the first fight of many that they will fight in the future. This was their first step towards becoming a stronger mage, at least for Sarina.

The group traveled for a few hours before the sun started to descend on the horizon and the moon took its place. The cold wind began to blow and the temperature in the desert began to fall rapidly.

Unlike the infernal heat during the day, the night was extremely cold.

The group set up a small camp on the sand, Sarina used her power to build a small wet earth hut. The four were sitting together around the fire.

"Young master, when will they appear?" Sarina asked with shaking hands. She was nervous about her first fight after so many years.

"They should appear in a little while. When that happens, I'll let you know "Liu Yang was eating as if nothing was happening.

"Yes, young master"

"Eat, it will help you calm down" Liu Yang fed Sarina.

"Thank you, young master"

"Young master, you are being unfair again" Mia was jealous again.

"Hahaha… Mia, I haven't forgotten about you. Eat "Liu Yang also fed her.

Ivy didn't need to eat because she drinks Liu Yang's blood, but she didn't show it to the two women.

"Our guests have arrived"
