Zu An almost had a nosebleed. Jiang Luofu really was looking down on his cultivation! How could her physical body block the sight of his soul? Forget about her soul, he could even see the hair on the legs of a mosquito in the corner of the room clearly. Meanwhile, Jiang Luofu’s body was sitting on the bed, so in order for her soul to hide behind her body, she needed to half-squat down. Even though her hands covered all of her sensitive parts, this half-hidden appearance only made her look more enticing.
Moreover, even Zu An couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity. This woman hadn’t condensed a single piece of clothing… other than a pair of silk stockings. It seemed her feelings toward silk stockings were true love!
He collected his thoughts before saying, “Ahem, this is fine for me.”
Even though whether she turned around or not didn’t make a difference, this would at least be a bit less embarrassing on the surface.
Jiang Luofu was an extremely intelligent person. When she saw that he wasn’t willing to turn around, she immediately realized that he’d already seen everything. Forget about her physical body, even her soul was starting to turn a bit red. But both sides tacitly chose not to expose that fact. She took a deep breath and quickly said, “I can sense a cold and sinister power that keeps winding around my soul. At first, it wasn’t too noticeable because you helped me take away most of the energy. But over time, I felt a bit of the leftover energy starting to grow on my soul. I tried many different methods, but I couldn’t get rid of it at all.”
When he heard that, Zu An also gradually calmed down. His entire body floated in front of Jiang Luofu, but he still had his back to her as he said, “That’s because the Monster Lord’s cultivation is too high. Even if ninety-nine percent of the sinister energy is removed and only a bit is left, it can regrow… Give me your hand.”
When she sensed him come closer, Jiang Luofu’s heart rate sped up. Zu An’s soul body was like a blazing sun. Normally, the first yin soul that was produced would fear the sun, but she didn’t feel any danger from this blazing sun at all. Instead, it felt really warm and made the chill within her body decrease a bit. She reflexivelly wanted to move a bit closer.
I really want to hug him…
Jiang Luofu was frightened as soon as that thought arose. She quickly collected herself.
Just what kind of nonsense am I thinking about? He is clearly the man Xiaoxi likes!
When she thought of Xiaoxi, she calmed down a bit. Then, she reached out her hand.
When he saw that beautiful wrist reach over, Zu An couldn’t help but think of Jiang Luofu’s current condition again.
Sigh, Lu Xun really was right. When you see the wrist, when you see a fair arm, you will think of them without clothes. That’s just human nature…
But he quickly got rid of those wayward thoughts. He placed his fingers on her wrist and quickly sensed some faint black energy winding around her body. Compared to her soul, th black energy was full of vitality. If they had delayed for a bit longer, the sinister energy would’ve completely absorbed her soul as nourishment and replaced it.
The Monster Lord really is amazing. Just how was he able to sense that Jiang Luofu was imitating his seal from so far away and even retaliate?
When Zu An’s fingers touched Jiang Luofu’s wrist, her entire body couldn’t help but tremble. A slightly absent-minded look appeared on her face.
It wasn’t as if the two hadn’t touched each other before. When the Jiang clan was in danger, Zu An had even carried Jiang Luofu in his arms. When they touched each other back then, she’d felt the bashfulness of a young lady. Right now, though, they were just touching fingers, and yet she felt as if a huge streak of lightning had passed through her entire body. That powerful stimulation was a hundred times greater than the previous hug! Just what was going on right now?
She suddenly rememberedsomething she had once read from a cultivation manual, and also heard from her late teacher: After the grandmaster stage, dual cultivation with a dao companion became possible. To a certain degree, dual cultivation with the soul would be countless times more efficient than doing it with the physical body. The soul body would react much more quickly than the physical body, to the point that a month of cultivation with the soul could be equivalent to a year of cultivation with the body.
Her junior sister, had been incredibly excited to hear that when she was was still young. She’d even suggested that the martial brothers and sisters could do that kind of dual cultivation. Because she was still young and had the lowest cultivation, she had needed to work harder to catch up. At the time, she’d even wanted their teacher to personally engage in this cultivation with her.
Back then, her martial siblings and their teacher’s expressions had been quite exaggerated. In the end, it was their teacher who had warned their youngest junior sister that she couldn’t do that. Dual cultivation had to be done with a dao companion whom one shared deep affection with. It was definitely not something one could do with just anyone.
The soul was extremely fragile. Unless it was someone you trusted a lot, cultivating together through the soul was absolutely not a good idea. Besides, when two people bonded emotionally, cultivating with their souls would naturally result in twice the results with half the effort.
Back then, even though Jiang Luofu wasn’t as innocent as her junior sister, she hadn’t really understood the various details either. Only now did she understand why her teacher had spoken like that in the past.
No wonder teacher always emphasized that only dao companions could engage in dual cultivation. So it turns out…
She couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret when she thought of that. She really had been too careless. How was she supposed to handle the aftermath of all of this now?
But she also knew that if she didn’t get rid of the Monster Lord’s sinister energy as quickly as possible, she would soon be fully corroded by it. Dying was one thing, but if she ended up being controlled by the Monster Lord, it would be a fate far worse than death.
There was a blank look on her face. She didn’t know what to do at all.
Just then, Zu An said, “Big sis principal, I’ll be helping you remove the Monster Lord’s energy. There might be a bit of pain during the process, so you’ll have to endure it.”
Jiang Luofu snapped out of her daze and said, “Fine!” With her nature, why would she be scared of pain?
Zu An poured his ki into her body. All of the sinister energy moved toward one point, where he planned to collect it all.
“Ah~” Jiang Luofu cried out.
Zu An was frightened. “Does it hurt?”
And why does that voice sound a bit strange?
“No… Ah, right, it hurts a lot.” Jiang Luofu’s face was red. She really wanted to bury her face somewhere right now.
That was a sensation she had never felt before! It felt as if he had entered her body and they’d become one, as if their souls had merged. Even though she was a mature woman, she was completely naive in this respect. She’d immediately felt a powerful stimulation. How could she have endured such a thing when she was caught off guard? That was why she’d reflexively cried out.
But she’d immediately realized what was happening and felt extremely embarrassed. He was only helping her treat her injuries, so why was her behavior so disappointing? If he knew what she was thinking about, perhaps he’d end up thinking that she was a fickle and lewd woman. What then?
That thought was why, even though she already felt as if there was a raging sea inside her and her entire body was shaking intensely, she still clenched her teeth and endured it with her willpower. Only, from time to time, there were still a few sweet sounds that leaked out.
…
Mi Li was rolling back and forth on her bed, under the covers. She had some seeds that she’d gotten from who knew where in her hand, watching the scene through a mirror while eating them. She looked really frustrated.
“Just what is going on with the two of them? That kid Ah Zu is normally pretty sharp, right? Did he really not sense anything? Does he really not know that contact between souls isn’t much different from entering inside her? No, the feeling is many, many times stronger!”
For some reason, even Mi Li’s face was starting to get a bit red.
“But even though the kid’s cultivation is high, he doesn’t know much about a lot of cultivation common sense. Besides that, because he’s in such a hurry to treat her, it wouldn’t be strange for him to not realize it yet.
“But Jiang Luofu did study at the academy, for better or for worse, and is quite well-learned. There’s no way that she wouldn’t know what an interaction between souls like this would result in, right?
“Could it be that she knows, but she is willing to go through everything? Or maybe she wants to use this chance to seduce Ah Zu?
“But judging from how hard she’s enduring it, it doesn’t seem like that?
“Ah, this silly pair is driving me crazy!”
