“Shuyun, why are you suddenly saying this? Do you like him too?” Niu Qiuling asked, glancing sideways at Li Shuyun. She shook her head slightly and said, “I really admire his martial arts.”
Niu Qiuling chuckled and nodded, “I can see that. You’d practically beg him to take you as a disciple.”
Li Shuyun’s expression turned serious. “His master said there’s a way to restore his martial arts. That’s why I’m here tonight to help him. I wanted to inform you and hope you’d agree!”
“Of course, you can.”
Niu Qiuling replied without hesitation, but she was still a little confused by Li Shuyun’s words. “But why are you asking me? If you can help him recover his skills, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
Li Shuyun stated directly, “Do you know about dual cultivation?”
“Dual cultivation?”
Niu Qiuling blinked in surprise. Having rarely watched martial arts dramas, she shook her head. “I don’t understand. What is it?”
Li Shuyun explained, “Dual cultivation is a method of practice. It refers to the union of a man and a woman, where both benefit from practicing together. Do you understand?”
“Union…”
Niu Qiuling froze. Even a fool would know what the union of a man and a woman means. Her almond eyes widened as she looked at Li Shuyun, pointing towards Wan Yunting’s room. “You mean you’re going to dual cultivate with him?”
“Yes.”
Li Shuyun showed no embarrassment. On the contrary, she told Niu Qiuling that she had assumed Niu Qiuling and Wan Yunting were a couple, which was why she was seeking her consent.
If Niu Qiuling minded, Li Shuyun would give up on dual cultivating with Wan Yunting.
“Now, only through dual cultivation can his dantian be stimulated and his martial arts be restored.”
Li Shuyun also recounted to Niu Qiuling the conversation Wan Yunting had with his master at noon, and calmly said, “So I want to ask for your opinion. Do you agree to me dual cultivating with him!”
Niu Qiuling looked stunned, feeling a strange sensation. Recovering her senses, she waved her hand and smiled, “I’m not his girlfriend. Why are you asking for my opinion? If you really want to dual cultivate with him, then go in and help him.”
Li Shuyun looked at her. Niu Qiuling appeared indifferent, but in reality, her feelings were not as simple.
“Oh, Shuyun, don’t look at me like that.”
Seeing Li Shuyun’s gaze fixed on her, Niu Qiuling smiled. “Really. If this is the way to restore his martial arts and injuries, it’s a good thing. I have no objections.”
Li Shuyun nodded, but then Niu Qiuling looked at her with a peculiar gaze. “But Shuyun, are you really going to dual cultivate with him in that way? Won’t you feel a bit…”
“I don’t mind.”
Li Shuyun shook her head and said plainly, “As long as it can improve my martial arts realm, the price is worth paying.”
… Niu Qiuling stared at her blankly, sighing with emotion, “You really have unique thinking.”
“I’ll go in and persuade him first.”
Li Shuyun said no more and turned to enter Wan Yunting’s room. Niu Qiuling pulled her arm. “Wait. He doesn’t agree to dual cultivate with you?”
Li Shuyun turned her head and replied, “Yes. I told him at noon, and he disagreed, so I’m going in to persuade him.”
Niu Qiuling was stunned. Hearing that the man disagreed, she felt a little better for some reason. She released Li Shuyun’s arm and smiled, “Then go ahead.”
Li Shuyun nodded and said, “When we dual cultivate, no one else should disturb us. It could lead to distractions and danger.”
“Don’t worry.”
Niu Qiuling smiled. “I won’t disturb you. I’ll go downstairs and tell his second brother and the others later.”
Li Shuyun nodded and said no more, pushing the door open and entering Wan Yunting’s room…
Watching the door close, Niu Qiuling felt an inexpressible emotion. She turned and went downstairs, muttering to herself with pursed lips, “I want to learn martial arts too…”
“Why are you here?”
Wan Yunting, who was leaning against the headboard, was still trying to stimulate the qi within his dantian, but no matter how hard he tried, his dantian remained still.
Li Shuyun entered, closed the door, and came before him, saying, “I want to dual cultivate with you!”
Wan Yunting looked stunned. He looked at the composed Li Shuyun and sighed, “Shuyun, didn’t I tell you? I can’t dual cultivate with you.”
Li Shuyun said softly, “Don’t you want to catch your enemy?”
Wan Yunting’s lips twisted in bitterness. Of course, he wanted to catch Leng Shao, but how could he dual cultivate with Li Shuyun, with whom he had no connection, for that purpose?
However, the next moment, Li Shuyun untied her sash…
This scene made Wan Yunting frown. Seeing the determination in Li Shuyun’s eyes, he knew his refusal would be futile. He could only say resignedly, “Alright. We can first try to cultivate according to the incantation of the Yin-Yang Complementary Technique without physical union.”
“Okay.”
Li Shuyun had no objections. She got onto the bed, completely unclothed. Wan Yunting also struggled to adjust his body. Li Shuyun helped him up, and with great effort, they managed to sit cross-legged. At this moment, Wan Yunting’s gaze was pure, and he harbored no wicked thoughts towards Li Shuyun. “Hold my hand, use the qi in your dantian, and channel it through my hands. I’ll teach you the incantation for the Yin-Yang Complementary Technique…”
Li Shuyun nodded. Seeing his lower body, her face flushed slightly…
Although she appeared indifferent and unbothered, she was still shy, as this was her first time…
They sat cross-legged facing each other, their hands clasped tightly. Li Shuyun circulated the qi in her dantian. This was the qi that Wan Yunting had left in her dantian when he had previously unblocked her Ren and Du meridians with acupuncture!
It was fortunate that Wan Yunting had left this internal qi in her dantian, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to dual cultivate with him.
Wan Yunting and Li Shuyun closed their eyes, their minds focused. They concentrated on the incantation of the Yin-Yang Complementary Technique and the qi that Li Shuyun was channeling. The qi began to flow into Wan Yunting’s body through their hands. Their bodies connected, and after several major circulations, some of the acupoints in Wan Yunting’s Ren and Du meridians were stimulated. Finally, he channeled a stream of qi into his lower abdomen’s dantian…
Suddenly, Li Shuyun felt Wan Yunting’s hands trembling. She opened her eyes to look at him. The sharp pain in his dantian caused his forehead to bead with sweat, and his body trembled slightly. It was evident that this method was not stimulating his dantian to recover.
Li Shuyun remained silent, not daring to disturb him, and continued to cooperate with Wan Yunting’s attempts.
“Cough…”
Half an hour later, Wan Yunting suddenly began to cough violently, his whole body feeling weak. Li Shuyun quickly helped him up. “It’s not working?”
“No.”
Wan Yunting took a deep breath. The stabbing pain in his dantian caused his stomach to cramp. His face contorted in pain as he said, “It’s no use. It hasn’t stimulated the dantian at all. This method won’t work.”
“Let’s engage in intercourse,” Li Shuyun said calmly.
Wan Yunting’s expression faltered. He looked at Li Shuyun, and the truth was, he didn’t want to.
“Intercourse is true dual cultivation,” Li Shuyun stated.
“Alright.”
Wan Yunting nodded, hoping that dual cultivation could stimulate his dantian…
The next moment, Wan Yunting was astonished.
Li Shuyun began to circulate the internal qi from her dantian…
Hmm, there’s a reaction…
Suddenly, Wan Yunting’s body jolted. He felt a stream of internal qi pouring into his dantian, like a warm current irrigating his shattered dantian. What was initially a painful sensation gradually soothed.
“I can feel it…”
Wan Yunting cried out in ecstatic surprise.
Li Shuyun slightly opened her eyes, her face flushed with shyness, feeling an indescribable sensation.
However, seeing the movement in Wan Yunting’s dantian, she also became happy…
Meanwhile, outside the room, Niu Qiuling was eavesdropping at the door, listening to the sounds coming from within, especially Wan Yunting’s excited shouts.
This immediately caused Niu Qiuling’s pretty face to darken. Her almond eyes widened, and she sneered with shame and jealousy, “Pervert, shouting so loudly, is it really that good…”
