The Benefits of Dual Cultivation, and Truth
🕑 Added 2023-12-06 13:28:58 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 96 ---
Yu Long opened his eyes slowly, gazing at the sunlight with a comfortable expression. He glanced down and saw a gorgeous angelic face gently squished on his chest.
Of course, the drool on the corner of her mouth makes the angelic beauty more adorable.
'How adorable.' Yu Long tickled Xia Qingyue's little nose.
Xia Qingyue opened her eyes slowly, blinking twice before letting out a heartwarming smile.
"Good morning, Husband~!" Her sweet voice is like honey to Yu Long's ears.
Yu Long's eyes widened in disbelief as he stuttered, "D-Did you just call me Husband?"
"Did you not like it?" She puffed her cheeks.
Yu Long chuckled and went for a kiss instead, "I don't just like it. I fucking like it!"
If such an angelic beauty like Xia Qingyue called Yu Long 'Husband' every day, he would be a trillion times happier than other men.
After last night, their relationship entered a new realm where two hearts became one.
Xia Qingyue enjoyed the kiss and wanted to move her body, but all of a sudden, soreness overwhelmed her senses.
"Ouch!" She hissed in pain.
"Are you okay?" Yu Long worriedly checked her body.
Xia Qingyue nodded, "I'm okay, just sore... Especially in my lower area. You're so bad, Husband."
"Well, then you should ask the wild lady last night." Yu Long teased back while rubbing her tummy, easing her pain with Light(Life) Energy.
Xia Qingyue's eyelashes fluttered gently because Yu Long's touch felt nice and warm. Her battered body gradually becomes comfortable.
Even though Xia Qingyue recovered her body's strength, she estimated walking would be impossible for a day or two.
'He's too monstrous...' Xia Qingyue peeked at the little monster between Yu Long's legs. Although they have gone countless rounds that night, that fellow is still energetic.
"Hmm?"
A spark appeared between the two of them.
"This is..."
"Qingyue."
"Husband."
Xia Qingyue opened her mouth in surprise and felt Yu Long's rich energy flowing inside, causing her cultivation to break through 1st level of Sovereign Profound Realm.
No one knows better than Xia Qingyue that cultivating [Ocean Quake Symbols] is arduous, but Yu Long's energy somehow supplied her enough to reach the next level.
Yes, Xia Qingyue reached level 20 of [Ocean Quake Symbols], making her one step closer to the Ultimate Stage or Merging Realm. If she could move freely, she would try blasting some air.
She also could feel her body become more powerful, thanks to Yu Long's mixed bloodline essence.
"It seems when we were having sex, we converged and circulated our vital energy. Well, last night can be considered a Dual Cultivation." Yu Long spoke about his insight.
"Still, I didn't expect it to be this good."
"I've only heard of it in the ancient records..." Yu Long formed a weird smile. The benefits he received are more than Xia Qingyue.
After taking Xia Qingyue's Vital Yin, Yu Long obtained a perk from her Nine Profound Exquisite Body.
If Yu Long were a 'normal' guy, the 'small world' inside Xia Qingyue's body would get transferred to him.
But remember, Yu Long has researched profound patterns and aspects for years.
He has sampled Xia Qingyue's Nine Profound Exquisite Body and Heart of Snow Glazed Snow to a 'certain' extent, transplanting on himself and others.
So, instead of taking Xia Qingyue's small world away, Yu Long's body automatically created one based on hers.
Yu Long observed his inner body and discovered three pocket dimensions or a small world revolving slowly.
One is Kaiju Maker's Inner World, where Yu Long stored all his Kaiju and Essence Sphere. He also used this place to contain Primordial Energy because his profound veins aren't strong enough to handle it directly.
The second one is green space, Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension.
And lastly, the newly formed small world based on Xia Qingyue's Nine Profound Exquisite Body. With this, Yu Long doesn't have to worry about having excessive energy that his body couldn't handle.
Above all else, Yu Long already planned to use this new small world efficiently. Hehe, such an excellent extra container.
In the real world, Yu Long closed his eyes and focused. He pulled Kaiju Maker's Inner World and the new small world, transferring Primordial Energy to the latter.
A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead because Primordial Energy is a terrifying force one shouldn't underestimate. Yu Long used [Summer Moon Grandmist] and slowly converted the energy.
Xia Qingyue wiped Yu Long's forehead with a blanket and mumbled, "He's doing something unbelievable again."
"Transferring Primordial Energy like this."
"What a reckless husband." She pouted, waiting for him patiently.
In the Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension, Jasmine hugged her knees with an aggravated look. 'That damned scoundrel, h-he's so perverted.' The scarlet-haired girl cursed.
'How could he and Qingyue do all those things when I'm still around.'
'Shameless, bastard, he should go and die...' Jasmine blushed hard because she shouldn't have peaked.
They said curiosity killed a cat.
Jasmine isn't a cat(yet), but she admitted her curiosity opened a whole new realm for her. She might even develop something a girl her age shouldn't.
"Huh? What's he doing?"
Jasmine spread her divine sense and noticed the space around Sky Poison Realm's Dimension was trembling violently.
"Oy, Don't drag me along if you want to court death!" She was speechless.
Jasmine could feel the terrifying force of Primordial Energy seeping into the Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension. She sucked a deep breath as Primordial Energy should have ceased to exist after the Primordial Era of Gods.
Yet there is a sliver of it here.
Weirdly, Jasmine couldn't probe further as if a barrier prevented her from sensing a few meters outside the pocket dimension.
She was dying to know Yu Long's secret but forgot she hadn't shown any of her secrets to the young man. Hah, as expected of a tsundere.
"Let's put my theory into practice. Those cultivation protagonists always have something like Golden Core or Spiritual Core to aid their cultivation, and I've sublimed Primordial Energy for years. I know how to shape and manipulate them, but what if I add rotation with enough ratio that It'd spin forever."
"Go, Jojo-! I mean, Golden Spin!"
Yu Long exerted mental power, controlling the Primordial Energy inside the new container. The energy slowly turned into gas and rotated rapidly, changing into a dreamy, silver-colored sphere.
"More, just a little more..." He adjusted the rotation until a breaking sound echoed in Yu Long's inner world.
BOOM!
Finite Primordial Energy slowly gathered into the new small world, sucking the surrounding area and increasing the quantity every rotation. Yu Long added 'Automatic Refining' and 'Adjusting' Arrays to keep things going.
It means Yu Long doesn't have to painstakingly refine Primordial Energy with [Summer Moon Grandmist], as the technique would run by itself from now on. He only has to check the rotating sphere once in a while.
"I'll call it Primordial Core for now." Yu Long sighed in relief.
In the past, Yu Long wouldn't dare to mess around with his inner world because his Kaiju lived there, but a new container allowed him to experiment.
"Done." Yu Long opened his eyes.
He stared at Xia Qingyue and pecked her forehead, "Qingyue, you're my lucky charm."
Xia Qingyue giggled because she didn't do much. Even then, she still felt great when pampered by her beloved man.
They cuddled for a few more minutes and realized they were all sticky.
Yu Long didn't mind, but Xia Qingyue did.
So, they have a bathing session with each other. Of course, they didn't know anything other than kissing.
...
In the side hall, Yu Long gently carried Xia Qingyue and placed her on a bench made of crystal ice. He also put a blanket on her body so she wouldn't get too cold.
'He looks like an overprotective husband now.' Xia Qingyue was amused.
After sealing the Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension off so Jasmine doesn't eavesdrop on their conversation, Yu Long sat beside Xia Qingyue and rubbed her delicate hand.
"I promise to tell you this two months later, but you deserve to know the truth." Yu Long said with a wry expression.
"I'll tell you something that would break you a little."
"But trust me, nothing would change between us."
"Okay." Xia Qingyue calmly responded.
She listened to Yu Long's story about the Mirror of Samsara and the Ancestral God's interference with the timeline and fate. Xia Qingyue learned the truth about her origin as an Artifact of Fate and nodded occasionally.
And then, she sighed.
"I see..."
"No wonder you didn't want to tell me straight away." Xia Qingyue bit her lips helplessly. "To think Xiao Che and I have such a connection."
"Still, this makes me glad for something."
She stared at Yu Long's golden eyes and said, "I'm very grateful, Husband."
"With you, I was able to break my ill fate. You give me the strength to fight."
"I think you're an otherworldly hero who saves me." She smiled beautifully.
"You're right. Knowing this won't change anything."
"I, Xia Qingyue, is a woman who broke the shackles of fate. I'm your wife. No, I'm yours!"
"I will always love you~!" She leaned on his chest.
"Mm, I love you too." Yu Long felt the weight lifted from his shoulders.
