The arrow was nocked and had to be fired, but at the final mont, everything fizzled out. Who could stand this?
He was on the verge of breaking through to the late-stage Golden Core Realm, about to beco several tis stronger. Only one step remained, yet Shen Youling was utterly uncooperative. How could Lin Tang not be driven mad?
"Darling, you're forcing my hand!" Lin Tang gritted his teeth. He flipped over into a sitting position and started making a phone call.
"Who are you calling?" Shen Youling was hiding her head under the blanket, playing both ostrich and corpse. Upon hearing the dialing tone, she peeked out with her large, curious eyes. Does Lin Tang secretly have Long Tianji's contact information?
"Who else? Wei Zichu, of course! She's his lover. My only hope is that she can use so pillow talk to persuade him to co over right now and verify my identity!"
"...You're insane!" Shen Youling was speechless. She hadn't expected Lin Tang to be so bold as to contact Wei Zichu privately. Isn't he afraid of making Long Tianji jealous? Moreover, it was the middle of the night. The couple was probably either sound asleep or engaged in… that sort of activity. Being so abruptly disturbed, wouldn't they be furious? Even if they weren't sleeping or otherwise occupied, why should they co running just because he called? If he angered them, Long Tianji might smack him to death just to vent, even if he wasn't a puppet of the Evil God!
Shen Youling leaped out of bed and pressed down on Lin Tang's hand, earnestly trying to talk him out of it.
But Lin Tang retorted angrily, "If I can't have my fun, why should he get to? I'm going to cause so trouble!"
"You—" Shen Youling felt her energy drain away. "Alright, you win. Let's do this. I'll cooperate."
"Oh? Not worried about being corrupted by the Evil God anymore?" Lin Tang glanced at her sideways.
"Are you getting on with it or not? If not, I'm really going to sleep!"
"I am, of course I am! Hehe, you can rest completely assured. Soone truly corrupted by the Evil God wouldn't be as righteous as ."
"Tch, with that lecherous, desperate look on your face? Righteous, my ass!"
The blanket was thrown aside and her pajamas were unbuttoned. Shen Youling's cheeks burned red. On second thought, Lin Tang is so full of life and speaks so brazenly about the Evil God. I probably was overthinking it.
Thus, she cast aside her reservations and began to cooperate actively. First ti clumsy, second ti skilled. It was a natural exchange between a husband and wife, a fundantal part of life. There was no need to be so shy.
Anyway, I'm about to lose consciousness... Based on past experience, Shen Youling had already ntally prepared herself to pass out.
However, after quite so ti…
"Huh? Why am I still so lucid? In fact, I feel more energetic than ever."
"Hey, why are you…"
Shen Youling and Lin Tang stared at each other, wide-eyed. They didn't even have ti to feel awkward or uncomfortable before a shocking realization hit Lin Tang.
When did Youling get her foot in the door and beco a novice Cultivator? She's just a hair's breadth away from entering the initial stage of Qi Refinent! He was stunned but quickly guessed what had happened. It must have been when she went to Fengqi Mountain; she must have had so sort of fortuitous encounter. And she kept it a secret, not breathing a word to her own husband?
Lin Tang was about to feel annoyed but then reconsidered. Haven't I hidden a lot from her, too? What right do I have to criticize her? Actually, this is perfect. I was worried about the impending calamity and how she, being so weak, would protect herself in the coming storm. Now, that concern is significantly lessened. Judging by the attribute of this wisp of her True Qi, the Cultivation Technique she's practicing isn't so demonic art. In fact, it's of a very high level, probably not much inferior to my own…
As Lin Tang was silently pondering, Shen Youling grew more and more embarrassed and couldn't help but slap him. "Why do you keep staring at ?"
"Uh—" Lin Tang was speechless. We're both stark naked and wrapped around each other, and you're worried about staring? Whatever. Business before pleasure.
Supre True Dragon Technique, activate!
BOOM!
Lin Tang's vast, ocean-like True Qi instantly flooded all of Shen Youling's ridians, startling her so much she even forgot to move her hips.
I never knew Lin Tang's power was this profound. No wonder he's so arrogant…
Ultimately, her cultivation was still too low. She hadn't rged with her past-life mories and had no master or senior to guide her. Her knowledge of cultivation was so severely lacking that she had no idea what level of power Lin Tang's True Qi represented. She didn't have the ntal capacity to get distracted and think about it anyway. She felt like she was about to explode, to shatter into pieces!
"Wait, let catch my breath!"
"Don't be difficult. I'm just about to break through! I can't possibly slow down now. Just bear with it!"
"Ah, you… you bastard!!"
This demonstrated that sotis, being muddled and acting without intention can be more efficient. With Shen Youling fully conscious, Lin Tang's Dual Cultivation was actually less effective than before. In the end, he took pity on her and voluntarily slowed the circulation of his True Qi.
As a result, an entire night passed without them realizing it. The sun was already high in the sky, yet their "battle" was still dragging on without conclusion.
「The next morning.」
"That child Youling usually gets up so early and is never late for work. Why hasn't she co out yet?" Shen Qiushi wondered aloud, looking puzzled. He was about to go knock on her door when his raised hand suddenly froze as a thought occurred to him.
"Heh, I really am getting old and muddled!" he chuckled, shaking his head. "Young couples, absence makes the heart grow fonder. They must have been… quite busy last night." He then muttered to himself that young people needed to exercise a bit more restraint. Health is wealth, after all!
With that, he started humming an opera tune and headed out to buy groceries. He made a point to buy many different kinds of nourishing ingredients, planning to brew a large pot of tonic soup.
「Tianxiang Doukou Company.」
Zhu Yingning stepped out of her office and glanced toward Shen Youling's. It was empty.
Huh? It's already so late, why isn't she here yet? Crap, don't tell she's in danger again! Attacked, kidnapped, or just vanished? The master will have my head for this!
Extrely anxious, Zhu Yingning quickly dialed Shen Youling's number.
If it had been anyone else calling at a ti like this, Lin Tang wouldn't have answered. He had even firmly sealed away the genderless Lord of Gluttony long before they started, just to avoid any disturbances. But seeing Zhu Yingning's na on the caller ID, he figured she was one of their own, so it didn't matter. He swiped to answer.
"Don't!"
Shen Youling was astonished by her own seemingly inexhaustible stamina, but she was even more amazed by Lin Tang's… animalistic nature. Yet no matter how strong her body was, her mind was inevitably sinking into a dazed and muddled state, her reactions slowing by more than a beat. By the ti she snapped back to reality, Zhu Yingning had already been listening in silence for a good while.
"Lin Tang, what kind of sick ga are you playing? Hang up now!" Shen Youling snapped, flustered and exasperated, unleashing another flurry of blows on his chiseled chest and abs.
Zhu Yingning was completely baffled. What was that sound? Is Shen Youling deliberately showing off? That little minx. I always thought she was so pure and innocent. Turns out she's this wild in private?
Shen Youling scrambled to snatch the phone and ended the call, her face a mask of misery. She had no idea how she was going to face Zhu Yingning now. Sure, Zhu Yingning had watched them Dual Cultivate before, but I could always bla that on being unconscious. This ti, I was wide awake and even talking. How can I possibly explain this away?
Her cheeks puffed up like little stead buns in anger. Just as she was about to lambast him, Lin Tang's phone conveniently rang. A glance at the screen revealed the caller: Wei Zichu!
Lin Tang was about to decline the call, but Shen Youling huffed and snatched the phone from him. "You did that to , so now I'm returning the favor!"
Lin Tang was bewildered. What kind of logic is that? I'm not the one who gets embarrassed… even if both of you ganged up on , I wouldn't even bat an eye!
The mont the call connected, Wei Zichu's voice burst through. "Long—"
"AHEM! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!!" Lin Tang broke into a violent coughing fit, as if he'd choked. "Zichu, what's up? I'm in the middle of a morning workout with Youling. If it's not important, let's not be disturbed, okay?"
"Ah? Oh, oh! Brother Lin, still doing your morning workout? You two work so hard!" she replied, her quick recovery impeccable.
But Shen Youling still felt sothing wasn't quite right. Long? Long who? And why does Wei Zichu's voice sound a little… sour? Like she's jealous? No way! Is she two-timing? Pledging herself to Heavenly King Long while still being entangled with Lin Tang? The audacity!
Worried, Shen Youling was about to press for details when Lin Tang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes! I've got it! I've finally seized that fleeting opportunity for my breakthrough! Darling, hold steady! Let give you a hand, too! Let's do this together, GO!"
Shen Youling was left speechless.
Wei Zichu was also silent on the other end of the line, but they were both thinking the sa thing: Why does your 'breakthrough' sound so inappropriate? I'm almost certain you're making an innuendo, but I can't prove it!
