Once Kelan left the sparring grounds, Yuan said, "We will have plenty of ti to catch up, so I’m going to take so ti to rest for now."
"Who are you going to stay with?" Chu Liuxiang asked. " or ixiu?"
He quickly replied, "I was going to take turns, so I would stay with one of you for a week, then switch, and repeat."
"That sounds good." Chu Liuxiang nodded.
She turned to look at ixiu and continued, "To make things fair, let’s rock-paper-scissors with our eyes closed. No divine sense, either."
ixiu nodded and closed her eyes.
"Rock... paper... scissors!"
They opened their eyes to check the results.
"Ugh. Looks like you win this one..." Chu Liuxiang sighed.
Feng Yuxiang, Lan Yingying, and Yingzi decided to leave Yuan’s Dantian for so fresh air and to allow Yuan so privacy. As for Yu Ning, she simply sealed her senses and went to slumber like usual.
"I’m going to take a look around the sect with the other two," said Feng Yuxiang.
"Try not to cause any trouble..." Yuan said.
Feng Yuxiang chuckled.
"We’re not you, Young Master."
So ti later, Yuan followed ixiu back to her living quarters.
"I’ll go take a shower first," Yuan said as he approached the bathroom.
"Wait..." ixiu suddenly stopped him.
"Since it’s been a while... let’s go together."
In response, Yuan silently nodded with a smile on his face, and the two of them entered the bathroom together.
Inside, ixiu helped Yuan wash his body like in the old tis, but instead of just using her hands, she used her entire body.
Over the past few years, she had devoted herself not only to cultivation but also to tempering her physique, refining it until it neared perfection. Her body, though strong enough to deflect ordinary weapons with ease, retained a softness that was almost unreal. Her skin was also as smooth as silk, gliding effortlessly across Yuan’s body with a delicate, irresistible grace.
A few minutes later, ixiu washed the soap off their body.
"Yuan..."
Unable to restrain herself any longer, ixiu closed the distance between them and pressed her lips to his in a passionate, heartfelt kiss.
Though she had planned to wait until they returned to the bedroom, the longing that had simred in her heart for years could no longer be contained, overflowing with unrestrained desire.
Yuan also didn’t realize how much he missed her presence and touch until they were alone.
Soon, their bodies intertwined in an intense cultivation session, and ixiu’s blissful voice filled the bathroom.
Several hours later, they erged from the bathroom, still unclothed, and made their way to the bedroom, where they continued to make up for the ti they had long been apart, their bond deepening with every passing mont.
After nearly a week of uninterrupted intimacy, the two of them lay side by side in silence, their eyes fixed on the ceiling.
"How’s your mother, ifeng, doing nowadays?" Yuan eventually asked.
"She’s spending more ti in the Nine Heavens since there’s not much for her to do on Earth nowadays. She even started a business as a rchant."
"A rchant?" Yuan raised an eyebrow at this unexpected news.
"Yes," ixiu said. "She started in the Lower Heavens, gradually building her influence as she ascended through each realm. Now, she’s in the Fourth Heaven, and from what I’ve heard, she’s beco quite renowned."
"I see... hopefully she’s not mad at for not being around lately."
"Of course not. She misses you a lot and would always ask about you whenever we encounter each other. Oh, we visit the Myriad of Techniques once every two months to catch up with each other. Yu Rou and the others are also there."
"Yu Rou... how is she?" Yuan asked, an air of lancholy surrounding him.
"She probably misses you the most out of all of us... and she..."
ixiu suddenly paused, almost as if contemplating whether to continue.
"Nothing’s happened to her, right?" Yuan sat up on the bed with a worried frown on his face.
ixiu let out a quiet sigh before continuing, "Honestly, I haven’t seen a genuine smile from her in a long ti. Whenever she does smile... it always feels forced."
"At first, we thought soone might be causing her trouble. But according to her close friends, Xia Jingyi and Bai Lianhua, there’s no such person. The real reason she’s been acting that way... is because she misses you."
Upon hearing those words, Yuan suddenly realized just how much he had been neglecting Yu Rou—sothing that had quietly begun the mont he first stepped into Cultivation Online and had only deepened with ti.
Yuan let out a heavy sigh as he covered his face with his arm.
"To have caused Yu Rou so much pain... I’ve failed her as a brother."
"But this is mostly because of the Celestial Emperor’s—"
"No," Yuan interrupted firmly. "I can’t bla the Celestial Emperor. While he may be the reason I haven’t been able to return to Earth these past few years... I started neglecting Yu Rou long before that. This is on —entirely."
"..."
ixiu beca silent, and an awkward silence filled the room.
"When’s the next eting?" Yuan then asked.
"Our last eting was a month and two weeks ago, so we’ll be eting again in two weeks."
"Alright. In the anti, I need to think of a way to make it up to her."
Early on the next day, Yuan washed up before leaving ixiu’s living quarters to head to Chu Liuxiang’s place, which was only a few steps away.
When he arrived at her doorstep, Yuan gave a gentle knock.
Almost instantly, the door swung open.
"Welco, darling!" Chu Liuxiang greeted him with a playful smile, dressed in a strikingly provocative outfit that left little to the imagination.
Before Yuan could even utter a word, Chu Liuxiang seized his arm and pulled him inside, pressing her lips to his in a deep, eager kiss the mont the door closed behind them.
