Chapter 150: Primordial God Blood Fruit (4)
There is a section of the Starsword Peak where the water cascades off a cliff and feeds into a pool of steaming, bubbling water. Even at first glance, it is obvious that this too was created artificially many hundreds of years ago, judging by the erosion, but even the mysterious heating element of this hot spring suggests that it was not formed naturally.
They meet at this place, deep into the night, wearing light robes. Before leaving home, Wu Yulan brought many outfits with her and shared them with Lan Xiaohui. They were items of the finest silk that her wealthy family could obtain, and some of them could even be considered Heavenly Treasured as they were made from high-grade materials.
Wu Yulans white robe is fastened by a silver sash and made of such fine silk and so light that it is almost see-through not completely, but enough for the girl to cross her arms and turn her body sideways and away from Lan Xiaohui.
On the other hand, Lan Xiaohuis black robes are entirely sheer, and even the red sash is almost entirely undone. This wouldnt be the first time Lan Xiaohui has cultivated together with someone before not even including myself and she is already well aware that for this cultivation method, it is better to leave the skin bare. But that is not to say that there is no apprehension in Lan Xiaohuis heart or embarrassment.
I know their hearts well enough to see that both of them want to ask the other if they are certain about this, but the question in their hearts never rises to their lips.
I dont understand why this is such a big deal for them. It is not like they are deformed or have something to hide; even by their meat standards, they should consider each other as the highest grade of beauty.
I could intervene and expedite this process, but I decide not to. My intervention could affect their mental state, which would introduce inefficiencies.
They stand next to each other, awkwardly, for half a minute. Wu Yulans hand finds my owners and she holds on to it tightly, before turning towards Lan Xiaohui completely.
Slowly, Wu Yulan unravels the sash on her robes with her other hand and allows the robe to slip from her shoulders to the nook of her elbows. Its for Yun Fei, right? she murmurs, barely audible to my owner over the sound of the waterfall. We have to quickly enter the Core Formation realm, and explore the Forbidden Lands. If the Heavens are not blind, we will find one of the materials that Lady Yue needs.
This sort of logic seems rather strange and inadequate to me. Wu Yulan had never met Yun Fei before, to my knowledge, and her only connection to the girl is through Lan Xiaohui.
Still, when Wu Yulans robes drop to the ground entirely, and she takes a step into the pool, her pale body almost shining in the moonlight, I praise her for her ability of self-motivation through self-deception.
We are ready Lan Xiaohui whispers. Yaoyue, please be gentle.
My owners declaration that they are ready surprises me, because I can find many points where their posture and position could be improved, but I decide not to question it. If my owner my master says they are ready, then who am I to disagree?
I open the core of my being and my terminals dozens fewer in number than what they possess connect with their internal systems and the rush of Qi forms a connection between them.
I notice immediately that any previous instances of this dual cultivation have been inefficient; with only Lan Xiaohui, the balance of Yin and Yang was inadequate, though I have failed to notice this. The sword is righteous and fierce, and as I am a pure sword, my contribution of Yang is unexpectedly far greater than what I imagined.
In other words, with two sources of Yin-attribute, more of my Yang can be leveraged to greater effects.
I open my [World Eater] talent to about 30% in an effort to remain gentle and slowly increase it to its fully open state, but even at this small amount, both Wu Yulan and Lan Xiaohui tremble and release a low sound that is between a grunt and a moan.
I focus on Wu Yulan first and send a small amount of consciousness and Sword Qi into her system, which causes her to moan into Lan Xiaohuis neck, and hug her tightly. Wu Yulan sucks in a deep breath and holds it, her eyes tightly squeezed shut, but she does not resist my influence.
Without resistance, I am able to channel the flow of Qi through her body in such a way that enlarges her spiritual veins, straightens her meridians, and more importantly, forces open all eighty-four Qi entrances the last of which causes Wu Yulan to open her eyes wide in shock.
This this is she whispers, but whatever she had to say is lost in the surprised moan she produces when a quantity of Qi that she could never even imagine before suddenly rushes into her system and I know she had never experienced anything like this before, because she is entirely unable to circulate this Qi on her own, requiring more of my attention.
Lan Xiaohui giggles as she dutifully and gently holds Wu Yulan against her body.
I told you to be gentle, Yaoyue
I log Lan Xiaohuis complaint and file it under irrelevant. How can it be my fault that even at my lowest efficient setting, I am still too overbearing?
