Just let it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia held his gaze for another second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she took a deep breath, held it, and slowly let it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand tightened around the bar. When she spoke, her voice snapped. \"Who the hell does she think she is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her irritation came out instantly. \"She’s just someone Master happens to like, and suddenly she’s an elder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a sharp, bitter laugh. \"And now she talks to me like that? The hell gives her the right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip tightened. She lifted the bar with ease, muscles tensing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare she say whatever happens between her and Master has nothing to do with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed the weight back down and pointed at herself. \"I was here from the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes burned as she looked at Arden. \"From the very start of Master’s journey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward slightly. \"I’m his first disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest rose as she kept going. \"I’m also the one who helped make God Gym known in the first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t slow down. \"I worked my ass off for this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice sharpened again. \"So who the hell is she to tell me to get out like I don’t belong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at Arden. \"That’s right, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded. \"...Yeah. You’re the first disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia huffed. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked away, jaw tight. \"And who said I don’t understand anything about men?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone dropped a little, but it stayed tense. \"It’s just that most of the men I’ve met are weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed her arms. \"If I’m going to bother with someone, they’d better be better than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips pressed together. \"I’m not some cheap bitch like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stayed quiet, watching her vent everything out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he leaned back slightly, thinking to himself.\"...Yeah... this might’ve been a mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, Dahlia’s expression shifted. A small smile started to form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked and raised a brow. \"...Why are you smiling, senior sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She straightened up, then turned toward him with a smirk. \"It’s nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden narrowed his eyes. \"That doesn’t look like nothing. Tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let out a short chuckle. \"I just thought of a way to counter that bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden froze. \"...What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped closer and placed a hand on his shoulder. \"Relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grin didn’t fade. \"I’m not going to fight her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly. \"This counter is purely with words...heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden still didn’t look convinced. \"...That doesn’t sound reassuring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia laughed softly. \"You worry too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave his shoulder a light pat. \"Still... thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked. \"...For what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed at herself. \"For listening to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned toward the exit. \"...Even if half of what I said was just me ranting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden shook his head slightly. \"It made sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia paused at the doorway. For a brief second, she didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a wide, dangerous grin spread across her face. \"...Hehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, she walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stayed where he was, watching her leave. \"...What the hell are you planning now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly. \"...This is definitely going to get worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion and Rachel finally stepped down from the flying ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked completely refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion... did not. He held his lower back with one hand, frowning. \"...Damn it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched slightly, pressing his side. \"...A whole week straight...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a slow breath. \"...This is a different kind of training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel glanced at him, clearly amused. \"Hehe. Don’t complain too much, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked ahead like nothing happened. \"It wasn’t just a one-time thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back at him over her shoulder. \"We’re doing it again later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned, then let out a short laugh. \"...Damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his shoulders. \"Looks like I really need to train harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded without hesitation. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke calmly. \"Handling the construction of God Island for a whole year made you a bit soft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t argue. \"...Yeah. That’s probably true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled. \"It’s been a while since I’ve had a proper workout.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded again. \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a second, then added casually. \"Next time, let’s go longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion already didn’t like where this was going. \"How long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled. \"Two weeks straight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stopped walking. \"...You’re joking, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel didn’t answer. She just kept smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion frowned deeper. \"...Please have some mercy, Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a soft laugh. \"Hehe. Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him directly. \"With this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone turned slightly teasing. \"You won’t even have the energy to think about other women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"...I wasn’t even thinking about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel raised a brow. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned forward again. \"Keep it that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sighed and shook his head. \"...Yeah... I’m definitely getting bullied here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead on the deck, two people were already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline and Raviel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Garion and Rachel approached, Aveline’s gaze moved calmly between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Rachel... Her refreshed look, steady posture, and relaxed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Garion... The way he adjusted his stance, one hand briefly pressing his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile formed on Aveline’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel, on the other hand, wasn’t smiling at all. His face was tight, brows drawn down, clearly unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say anything, Aveline stepped forward. \"Congratulations, Sister Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was calm and composed. \"I didn’t expect the two of you to become husband and wife so quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled back without hesitation. \"Thank you, Aveline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her eyes shifted to Raviel. She paused for a second. \"...Why the hell are you frowning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel didn’t answer right away. He just stared at her, his expression still dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel frowned slightly. \"What’s your problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel walked to her and put his hands on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel didn’t know what was happening? Why was her little brother suddenly like this?\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","f49e100b08584cf4cefc370245c3874916a9930ba4658d9bc5332c866b09c756","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-173","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-490",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
