Three days passed in a blur of wind and cloud as Wang Li navigated the skies on his Flying Sword. The Azure Peak Sect, once familiar territory, now loomed ahead, a mountain complex shrouded in mist. He steered towards the peak belonging to Second Elder Su, Su Yuerong's paternal uncle and her deceased father's brother.
Upon landing, Wang Li was met by a gaggle of curious disciples, their eyes widening in recognition. The news of the Wang Family's resurgence hadn't escaped the Azure Peak Sect, and Wang Li's arrival sparked a flurry of whispers.
He politely brushed aside their requests for an audience, his focus solely on finding Su Yuerong.
However, the news he received wasn't ideal. Su Yuerong was currently on a mission to quell a band of rogue cultivators causing trouble in the nearby region. A pang of disappointment shot through him, but he understood the demands of a cultivator's life.
"Do you know when she is expected to return?" he inquired politely to the young disciple.
"The mission shouldn't take more than a few hours, Patriarch Wang," the disciple replied, his voice respectful. "She'll probably be back by nightfall."
With a nod of thanks, Wang Li settled into the guest quarters prepared for him. The hours dragged by, filled with a restless anticipation. He spent the time meditating, honing his focus, but his thoughts kept drifting back to Su Yuerong.
Finally, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow across the peaks, a familiar figure materialized on the landing platform. Su Yuerong, her jade green robes fluttering slightly, approached the guest quarters with a light step.
The sight of her instantly lifted Wang Li's spirits. A genuine smile bloomed on his face as he stepped out to greet her. "Yuerong!" he exclaimed, a warmth radiating in his voice. "It's good to see you again."
Su Yuerong's radiant features lit up with delight. "Patriarch Wang! What brings you to the Azure Peak Sect?" she queried, her voice brimming with excitement. It wasn't just his title that excited her; it was the return of an old friend.
There was a tacit understanding between them. Their friendship remained a secret after all at that time, Wang Li was a wanted man. Now, reunited after so long, the unspoken bond crackled in the air.
"There's much to discuss," Wang Li replied, a hint of intrigue in his voice. "But not here." He glanced around, ensuring no eavesdroppers were present. "I would prefer a more... secluded setting."
Su Yuerong understood. With a playful glint in her eyes, she suggested, "Then follow me into my secluded abode where we can speak freely."
Intrigued, Wang Li followed Su Yuerong as she led him away from the guest quarters and deeper into the mountain. They arrived at a secluded entrance that materialized only after she activated a hidden formation. Stepping inside, the entrance sealed behind them, leaving them in a tranquil, dimly lit cavern.
"Here, it's quiet," Su Yuerong said, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "Now, tell me, Patriarch Wang," she began, tilting her head slightly, "what troubles bring you to the Azure Peak Sect?"
His kisses became bolder, exploring the curves of her face, her jaw, until finally, he captured her lips in a searing kiss. Su Yuerong felt herself melt into his embrace, her initial reservations forgotten as a wave of desire washed over her. They moved in perfect harmony, their lips moving in a dance of passion.
With a final, lingering kiss, Wang Li pulled away, his eyes burning with a newfound intensity.
His hands worked with practiced ease, the cool touch of his fingers sending sparks flying against her heated skin. Her jade green robes fell away, revealing the smooth curves of her body bathed in the dim light of the cavern.
As his eyes feasted on her beauty, a possessiveness flared within him. He traced the delicate line of her collarbone, sending shivers down her spine. "Beautiful," he murmured, his voice husky with desire.
Su Yuerong gasped, a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through her veins. Wang Li continued his exploration, his touch igniting a fire she hadn't known existed within her. He lingered on the sensitive spots, drawing gasps and moans from her lips.
The night became a whirlwind of passion. Wang Li, skilled and experienced, expertly navigated her body, pushing her to new heights of pleasure. With every touch, with every whispered word, Su Yuerong felt herself surrendering more and more.
The dual cultivation reached a crescendo with Su Yuerong clinging to him, her cries echoing through the cavern.
As the final wave of pleasure washed over them, she collapsed into his arms, her body weak but her heart overflowing with a strange sense of fulfillment.
The night continued in a haze of passion and intimacy.
As dawn painted the sky with streaks of orange and gold, Wang Li finally stopped, holding her close as they drifted off to sleep.
Sunlight streamed through the entrance of the cavern, gently awakening Su Yuerong. She stirred in Wang Li's arms, the warmth of his body a comforting presence. A wave of emotions washed over her - shyness, a touch of regret, but mostly a feeling of deep contentment.
Reaching out, she traced the line of his jaw, a silent thank you for the incredible journey they had embarked on together. Wang Li opened his eyes, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He understood her unspoken gratitude, and a surge of pride filled him.
"You did well, Yuerong," he said, his voice filled with satisfaction. "With the power you have absorbed, you'll be reaching the Nascent Soul Realm in no time."
Su Yuerong's eyes shone brightly. The breakthrough she had yearned for felt closer than ever, and she knew it was all thanks to Wang Li. A bond, deeper than mere friendship, had been forged between them that night. It was a bond built on trust, passion, and the promise of a powerful future.
As they emerged from the cavern, hand in hand, a new chapter unfolded before them. This was just the beginning.
