Chapter 75: Cultivate in secret!

"So, your mother is a formless being that actually conceived you with a human being, and at that a cultivator from a righteous sect?" Nagina summarized all her finding in one sentence.

"Yes, and it also seems that there is something shadier going on the  background that neither you nor me has any idea about." Le fang Ling tightened her hold on the scroll, while the image of her cold hearted father kept on running in her mind.

Nagina simply nodded her head. She more or less knew that her host was in a constant danger from the people around her.

"So her name is Lilith," Nagina repeated the name and felt a weird sense of familiarity to it even though it was her first time hearing the name.

"She is a nice pervy lady," Le fang Ling nodded her head.

Her heart ached for Lilith, the poor lady who had to see her own daughter die but could do nothing and watch helplessly. 

She did not know the full story but Lilith seemed to be hiding something but she knew she had no right to ask her to say anything to her.

She could understand where the fury came from when Le Fang Ling aka her was belittled by others.

If possible, she wanted to free the seal that bind her there, which made her powerless at the moment.

"But these formless beings, I am really curious about them." Le fang Ling had excepted them to actually be the formless. But Lilith was total opposite from what she had imagined.

'Aight, let's not think about her now.' She turned her attention to the scroll she was holding.

"I hope this can help me how with cultivating," she exclaimed in a low whisper while eying the scroll that she was holding.

"It seems like the fact that I have a half formless blood running in my veins also is responsible for my yin-yang constitution," she was thoughtful for a while.

"You mean," Nagina who had been silent all this time, raised her head and a looked at Le Fang ling, open mouthed as she tried to process and digest in the information she got.

She had analyzed the situation and everything seemed to be falling in place but she was still unable to hold on to the thread that might help  her solve things.

"Can I?" Nagina pointed at the scroll that she was holding and asked for permission.

"Oh, this, Yes." Le fang Ling nodded her head in approval and forwarded her hand towards her so that she could take it and take a closer look.

After getting the permission from  her host, Nagina took the scroll from her hand with great caution as if it was a fragile treasure. Her arms were slightly trembling as she carried the scroll that was threating to fall down from her hand.

Seeing her acting overly cautious, Le Fang Ling smiled. She was overwhelmed by this cute gesture from Nagina.

'She must not be used to her arms yet.' She thought looking at the tiny slender arms of Nagina that looked as fragile as a twig.

"It's fine," She caught her hands and supported them with  her own palms.

Startled by the sudden action, Nagina immediately raised her head to look at Le fang Ling who was on cloud nine as she held her hands.

"You can be a little rough with it," she explained with a soft smile on her face.

Nagina: "//..//"

That sounded kind of wrong but..

"O-Okay, I am just having a little trouble getting used to this external limbs." She averted her gaze away from her host .

"I will get used to it as soon as possible. You should not worr-"

"It's fine, take your time learning things. There is no hurry," interrupted Le fang Ling.

Nagina wanted to say something more but decided to keep their conversation short and get on with the main work.

"The words in the scroll," Le fang Ling's voice trailed off in a low whispery sound.

"Can you translate it for me?"  She remembered Lilith saying the scroll was in some kind of ancient language from her clan.

"Yes," Nagina nodded her head.

No sooner had she said it, the screen appeared in between them with a notification.

[You have successfully unlocked the hidden attribute of the system.]

[Skill unlocked: Language translation]

[Description: The host will have trouble understanding the various ancient characters and script that are used in this world. To make it easier for you to get accustomed to the world faster, any languages or script that you do not understand will be changed to your native language and vice versa.]

[Limitation:  The more you use this skill, the lesser effective it will be. So, it will be better for you to try and learn the languages by yourself in the mean time.]

[In other words; no slacking off!!]

"Well," Le Fang Ling had already expected there to be some kind of catch. There was definitely no way that she was going to be able to enjoy any privilege without getting and restrictions.

But after all this time, she had gotten used to it.

Learning language was not that big of a deal.

But as for now, she needed to know what was written there.

"Please, translate whatever that had been written here." She chose to use the skill here to which Nagina happily compiled.

She opened the scroll and scanned through the all of the data and information inside like a super computer. She was fast and efficient.

Within a few seconds, she had scanned, memorized and stored all of the data from the scroll.

Right after she was done, she closed her eyes to allow her to sort the  information that she just got.  She rolled back the scroll and extended her hands towards Le Fang ling.

"Host, I am done with this," Nagina returned the scroll to her.

"Good. Thank you for your hard work," Le Fang Ling rubbed her head out of her habit as she took back her scroll and opened it to skimp over it by herself before she kept it away.

'Soft,' she had the urge to go and pat her head once again but decided to refrain herself. She could do it any other time.

Settling herself on the ground, she opened the scroll and started to  look at it from top to bottom.

"What in the-" Her eyes widened in shock and surprise when she saw various intertwined bodies.

Le fang Ling shut the scroll and immediately  placed it on the ground.

"….."

But she had no other choice except reading it, as the scroll was her only saving grace at this moment. Swallowing down her shame and shock, she picked it up and opened it to go through it as fast as she could.

.

The more she looked at the illustrations, the more twisted the expression on her face started to get. The scroll was not that long but Le fang ling had trouble understanding why she had to do those things  if she wanted to cultivate efficiently.

"Is this the only way?" After seeing through the scroll, she finally gave up and placed it on the ground with a defeated expression.

Although she did not understand what was written but simply looking at the pictures of people indulging themselves in carnal activities made her think she had to dual cultivate with other  people.

Since she had both yin-yang essence in her body, to balance them she had to absorb both type of essence but there was no freaking way she was going to be with a man.

Not that she looked down upon men but as a former male herself, she knew men were mostly beasts with a few exceptions such as her.

"But.." She held her head in her palm in dejection at the fact that…

"Host, listen to me first."

"Host, that..." Nagina glanced at Le fang Ling who was currently shocked by what she saw in the scroll.

"Hmm?" Le Fang Ling heard her calling and glanced at Nagina with a pitiful look in her eyes.

"Host, do not take what you see as the whole story without knowing the full truth."  Nagina moved towards Le Fang Ling and gave her a pat on her back to console her.

"Whatever do you mean by that?" Le fang ling felt the tiny hands rubbing her back which unconsciously made her feel better.

'I can just search other way to cultivate.' She thought in her head, as a new surge of optimism rushed inside her.

"I might have to search for a partner..." She swallowed down her words and sighed.

"You don't have to do anything of that sort." Nagina sat beside her and gathered her lower half in to a hug.

"You got rick rolled by her, I mean your mother." Nagina shook her head at how innocent her host was.

"Huh? By Lilith?" 

.

"Achoo.." Lilith rubbed her nose after sneezing out loud.

"Is someone talking about my beauty?" She wondered as she continued snoring on her throne.

.

Nagina took a deep breath and began speaking.

"Those pictures are just the way of yin-yang dual cultivation art, an ancient art that involved three people with yin body, yang body and yin-yang body individually."

"In other words for people like you, it is suitable but I doubt anyone will  be willing to do it." Nagina directly crossed off that method from the list.

"So, I won't have to follow this method huh? " Le Fang ling asked with a little uncertainty.

"Yes." Nagina confirmed.

"Aha..music to my ears." She beamed with happiness.

'Even if it was suitable, there is no way I am going to Let you go and do that with other people.' Nagina secretly smiled in her heart.

Her host was exclusively hers until the end of time.

"So, there is another way apart from that?" Le fang ling asked with a curious eye as she knew what was shown in picture was only one of the ways.

"Huh, oh yes there is also another way according to what was written there." Nagina displayed the content of the translated information on the screen.

.

"So, there is that way as well." Le fang Ling exclaimed after she was done reading.

"Yes." Nagina nodded her head.

"Master one element at a time while strengthening that particular root, and of course…"  she narrowed her eyes in a squint, her lips curled up in a smug smile.

"Cultivate both positive and negative energy." She rubbed her hand while licking her lips, which made her look like  a scheming businessman on way to sell his pyramid scheme.

"But of course in secret !" Nagina added with  snap of her finger.
