67 Steps Tai Novels & Stories

I muttered. “Not the right kind.” Rude. She pointed toward a narrow stone ledge that ran along the fountain’s edge. “Walk.” I stared at it. “That’s… high.” “It’s six inches.” “I could still fall.” “Then don’t.” I sighed and stepped onto it carefully. “Chin up,” she ordered. I lifted my chin. “Shoulders back.” I adjusted. “Graceful steps.” “I’m trying!” Halfway across, my foot slipped slightly and my arms flailed.

“It’s two-thirty. I have morning practice at six-thirty. Some of us need actual sleep instead of listening to you fake orgasms through the wall.” “I don’t fake them.” She sounds so fucking proud of herself, grinning. “That was one hundred percent real. Guy had excellent stamina and knew exactly how to…” “Stop.” I hold up a hand, but the corner of my mouth twitches. Of course Sue notices. Her grin widens, and she launches into this exaggerated retelling of the night, complete with the silly voices and wild gestures, describing how the guy nearly tripped over his jeans during a failed sexy striptease.

Now that he was free, he could study the cultivation method in detail. Sitting on the sofa in the suite, Tyr opened the music box next to him, and once again, his mother’s song played. He listened to it as he quietly read through the Nine Steps to Disorientation booklet. Though the cultivation method only consisted of nine steps, in fact, those steps were ever-changing, and the meaning contained in it was also quite complicated.

I began with breathing exercises, the ones Roxie taught me, except without cruelty. Inhale for four. Hold for four. Exhale for six. Repeat. Then posture. Shoulders back. Chin aligned. Spine tall. Weight balanced in my hips. The first few movements were shaky, uncoordinated. I nearly toppled twice. My arms were dead weights, my legs unreliable, my ribs tight. But I continued.

It was so big to her but mostly attractive. “So what do I do?” she asked as she was starting to feel confident. “Walk.” He order her. She walked around and he smiled. “Okay honey, this is how you do it. Pullback shoulders.” He said as he walked over to her. He stood behind her. “Keep those hips pointed forward.” He touched her hips as he showed her and rubbed her thigh for bit. “Aim for mid sized steps walk.” He kneeled down to her. “And walk on the ball of your feet.” He touched her legs in a certain way that made her breathing increase rapidly.

Once I had breakfast, I headed outside to practice. I still did Tai Chi, taking in the slow movements and feeling all my muscles move. I tried to do it longer and longer every day. Slow deliberate movements making sure every muscle and every movement is not wasted. By the second hour, I was sweating. Focused on each step, each move, I heard a car door slam shut in front of the house. Taking a deep breath, I continued through the movements turning my wrists and pulling them back. There was stomping around the house to the backyard where I was. “I say leave me alone on a Sunday and no one fucking takes me seriously.” I growled, turning slowly and transitioning into a new pose.

Andrew demanded, both angry and shocked. Tiana's fair cheeks had already turned pink. However, she acted as if nothing unusual was happening, saying calmly, "Relax, don't make such a fuss. The Divine Enlightenment method requires exposing the body to release heat, allowing the body's meridians and energy points to interact with the surrounding environment. "That's why I brought you to this secret chamber—it's a necessary approach…"

She must have really enjoyed the date she had with the Alpha. She started her routine with half an hour of Tai Chi, to loosen up for what she has planned for later. Next was forty-five minutes on the treadmill. I could tell she didn’t really like running on the treadmill and she rather is running the trails through the forest. Once she finished running, her workout began.

He wanted to seek a little benefit for himself so that he could continue down this tough road. Moreover, his teaching could indeed help Tianna, which could also be regarded as a win-win situation. Kevin said, "Alright, I will exert some strength now." Then, he reminded her, "You usually don't do it properly, so you should slowly increase your strength instead. Let me know if it gets unbearable for you." "Sure, I got it," Tianna replied. "Practicing requires you to do it step by step. You may not be able to bear it if I correct you to the most proper position at once, and you'll get injured easily. That's why we'll have to do it slow."

They attempted the step in the manner Father Yggdra had begun only to find themselves with a simple step, one covering an even shorter distance than the one they used every day. They held the lessons with three other towers, slaving away each day at the lesson of the true step. "Do not try to run," Yggdra lectured. "It is like the dash you already use in combat, but more. Think steps. Imagine a number of strides required to cross a distance. Then compress it all into one compact step."
