nShe fell unconscious shortly after climaxing, feeling completely exhausted. Her chest was heaving up and down and she made very slight moans even in her unconscious state, as her body occasionally twitched minutely. He went to the bathroom and returned with a warm wet towel, wiping her clean and moving her slightly to the relatively untouched side of the bed, as he covered her with the blanket.

nHe went a lot harder on her than he did with Ye Ling, but that was not because he was not considerate of her.

nAs she was a spearwoman who focused on power and stability, her endurance and strength were raised much higher than a swordswoman like Ye Ling, especially at the hips which were one of the focus areas of her training, thus she was able to endure much higher levels of strain, and much more pleasure. Her training also made it a lot harder to harm her with the act. Her mental strength was tempered with years of military training and experience, and she was quite a bit older than Ye Ling as well. Lastly, he could tell from his experience and slight testing of her preferences during the initial foreplay that she felt higher excitement from a little rougher movements than gentle ones.

nAs he made sure she would wake up not abandoned in a puddle of their bodily liquids, he then sat on one side of the bed and cultivated her Pure Yin Essence and Yin Qi which were quite potent. Several hours later he reached the 7th level of the Qi Gathering Realm, finally breaking through the watershed minor realm.

nA profound ripple spread from him and woke up Bi Rui, who sat up on the bed, a bit unfocused, and looked at his meditating figure.

n‘He… he is also a dual cultivator? What is his background really?’ she thought, as she saw that his realm was now higher than before, and was still rising, which was theoretically impossible since his realm was a lot lower than hers.

nWhen one used dual cultivation as an auxiliary cultivation technique, it actually was not as potent, enough to just barely help them not just waste the energy exchanged during a passionate act. Only genuine dual cultivators steadily increased their realms through dual cultivation. This was the reason Ye Ling was so shocked by her increase in the realm before, and that showed just how potent his Yang Qi was.

nBut even disregarding that, she was in the 9th level of the Revolving Qi Realm, higher in minor realms than both Ye Ling and Sui Luxiao. And even dual cultivators should not have the ability to cultivate Yin Qi and especially the Pure Yin Essence of a practitioner this much higher than them in realms.

nEven ignoring this miraculous deed, the fact that such a powerful spear master, who also was very knowledgeable about alchemy was a dual cultivator was simply astonishing to her.

nWhat she did not know was that he used two unique, incredibly profound, and unimaginably precious techniques to be able to do that and that even for normal cultivators, as long as they had the right dual cultivation techniques as auxiliary cultivation, they could receive high benefits.

nShe sat in a daze for some time, looking at him. At the same time, she was feeling the changes in herself, slowly getting used to the realization that she was a woman now, a woman who knew what pleasure a man could give. And she gave her Pure Yin Essence to such a handsome, powerful man.

nAs she got up she noticed a weakness in her lower body, but it was not uncomfortable, but even slightly pleasurable. She then went to the bathroom to wash up and settle down her emotions a little.

nWhen she came out her gaze inevitably went to Wu Long who was still in a lotus position, and his aura was very close to the 8th level. But it seems it would not be enough for him to break through, and he was already switching to consolidation. She looked at his handsome face, but then, the corner of her sight caught her attention and her eyes shifted down, and her eyes widened. As he did not clothe himself before starting to cultivate his massive dragon was still in full view, although sleeping. But that did not diminish its majestic appearance. She looked at it somewhat absentmindedly until she heard a chuckle, and shooting her eyes back up met his eyes which had a hint of amusement in them, realizing that he already finished consolidating his cultivation.

n“Ah! I… I just, ahem, thank you for granting my wish”

nShe said, turning a bit away.

n“I should be thanking you, I managed to break through and even went a bit further thanks to you” he replied with a smile.

n“You were a dual cultivator?” she asked tentatively, although she already knew the answer, she wanted to hear him confirm it, to which he simply nodded.

n“Oh! By the way, I noticed while cleaning up… you… you released inside, and…”

n“You do not need to be worried about pregnancy. Almost any decent Dual Cultivator uses a technique that allows them to incapacitate the fertility of their Yang Qi at will” he reassured her as she didn’t know how to approach the topic without it sounding like she was blaming him for doing what she asked him to do.

nHearing this completely relieved her. He asked if he could use her bathroom, since not only did he not clean up after their act, but he also broke through that causing a fair amount of impurities to be expelled through his pores, to which she of course agreed immediately, and he went inside, as she picked up and folded his clothes neatly in front of the bathroom door.

nAs previously, she was not worried about Yu Huan knowing anything since the soundproofing was surprisingly quite good in this house, and Yu Huan additionally had a sound-isolating formation installed in her study since she liked to focus.

nWhen Wu Long freshened up and clothed himself, he wore back his spatial ring and then said his goodbyes to Bi Rui.

n—

nHe continued visiting her for two more days, as she did not give up learning the spear from him just because there was such an incident between them. And unlike Ye Ling, whose body was more delicate there was no harm for her to train, just decreasing the intensity a little was fine.

nOn the second day as he went back to the Ye Family Manor, he received a message from Sui Luxiao that she will be announcing her divorce to her husband tomorrow. He smiled at the good news, but when he was passing through the alley he was attacked at before, he suddenly jumped back as three rays of Sword Qi slashed from different angles to the place he was just standing at.

nThree figures rushed at him almost immediately after and were much quicker than him.

nA sharp aura filled the area as a sheathed sword appeared in his hands, and he immediately unsheathed it with his right hand to slash forward.

nSparks flew with some blood as the figures’ thin swords flashed with Sword Qi. Their eyes widened behind their metal demon masks, as they felt his sword intent. Two of them were injured in the neck and one of them was holding his sword-wielding arm which was gushing large amounts of blood from the forearm.

n‘Hmm, three Revolving Qi Realm Bahshi Assassination Group experts, and they’re quite skilled too. But more importantly, their swords are ridiculously tough, I can’t cut through them at my current level of output…’

nWu Long looked at the four with narrowed eyes, as there was a thin line of blood growing bigger on his shoulder. This was definitely overkill for one Qi Gathering Realm practitioner, it looked like they themselves were unnerved that none of the previous attack participants came back alive.

nThere is no way their last employer could be able to pay up for such as squad, so it was their own meddling.

n“Be careful! This is a tough one…” .𝙘𝙤𝙢

n“Such a young kid using Sword Intent… I guess I turned old…”

n“Tch… no wonder they failed… we have to make him disappear”

nThey were also shocked at such a monster before them. From their conversation, Wu Long tried to learn something but they did not talk much as expected of assassins. He had no strength currently to contend with their full organization, so their interference was very troublesome.

nBahshi never meddled like this if their client was not paying up the increased price, hence his relative calmness despite them being around. So this sudden attack unnerved him somewhat, as he was starting to worry that their organization had gone astray from their core principles while living in isolation in this fractured world, which was quite possible.

nThis raised his level of awareness and alertness, as well as his sense of danger. He was currently severely vulnerable if it was in front of an organization on this level.

nHis foot slightly turned as the three shifted their positions, and then sharp flashes of moonlight filled the area as all four of their figures turned into a messy blur. There were occasionally splashes of blood in round arks flying and making spectacular blood-splatter patterns on the ground and the walls of the alleyway.

nWu Long was outnumbered and outmatched by power and speed, as they were using Bahshi techniques, not the best in the Seven Boundless Worlds, but unimaginably higher quality techniques than the ones commonly used in this world while being vastly higher in realms. And still, Wu Long held the advantage over them with his abnormal physique given to him by the techniques he cultivated, ridiculous battle instincts and movements, as well as his Sword Intent.

nThin cuts appeared in the area around them that were smooth as a mirror. Finally, one of them could not hold on, the one whose arm was injured in the first exchange started to falter.

nWu Long’s eyes flushed and suddenly, the sharp sensation they felt from him intensified as the area somewhat became more bleak, devoid of color, and the moonlight flashed a bit more brightly among them again as all four of them froze.

nWu Long very slowly adjusted his posture and sheathed his sword among the still-frozen figures of the assassins. As his sword guard touched the mouth of the sheath with a *clink*, thin red lines that were exceptionally vivid in this bleak world appeared and spread through the figures of the three. And then the surroundings turned normal, the sound of the wind and colors returned as they crumbled into pieces divided by smooth cuts like the surface of polished marble, spewing blood in every direction. Some of it getting on Wu Long, but he currently did not care.

nA cold sweat came out over Wu Long’s whole body as he took out a pill and popped it into his mouth after stashing the sword into the spatial ring. His sword-wielding right hand dangled on his side as a sharp pain ran through it along with his whole body.

n“Kuha~”

nHe wielded three golden needles between the fingers of his left hand and skillfully inserted them into his right forearm and shoulder in three specific spots, hitting some more spots on his shoulder and right chest after, as he spewed a mouthful of blood.

n‘Haaa… I really should not use more of the Sword Intent now… my body and inner organs are a mess… and there are extensive internal injuries… but that was the fastest choice, otherwise, they might have gone away…’ he thought.

nJust now, he used a tiny more of his sword intent than usual, which almost killed him. There was not a place on him that did not hurt.

n‘Pity about the swords though…’

nHe looked at the swords that were now in pieces, cut as smoothly as his opponents. These were mid-level 7th tier Mortal Grade treasure weapons, treasure weapons comparable to a Core Formation Realm 4th-6th levels, and were almost priceless in this undeveloped world. Most likely while they lost quite a bit of their practitioners and could not raise that many elites in the conditions this world was left in, they still inherited quite a good stock of weapons from their prosperous times. It was just that raising experts required a good environment so since they did not have enough of them the good treasures probably trickled down to lower levels so that they are not just idly lying in the warehouses. Such a treasure could be quite beneficial for the current him.

nHe could not do much about it though, as he valued his life more, and he could not possibly control this level of sword intent that precisely when it was so out of the league for his body. He was quite lucky the damage was not even worse. If he did not break through to the 7th level of Qi Gathering Realm he would have never even thought about attempting such madness.

nHe received a few injuries in their scruffle as they were faster than him in principle and by quite a large margin. Normally such a difference in speed would place one in a deadlock but he was not normal by any means, and killing them would be relatively easy without going to such lengths if he was not worried about them running as he gained the upper hand.

nHe picked up the pieces of weapons and masks and then threw out a talisman after stashing them in his spatial ring. The talisman landed behind him as he left the scene, covering the area in a circle of fire that gradually incinerated their bodies. They did not wear spatial rings as that was Bahshi Assassination Group’s rule, so he did not really gain anything.

nHe returned to the Ye Family Manor dumbfounding anyone who saw him on the streets, but such occurrences were not exactly rare in the cultivation world, so he did not raise too much of a ruckus.

nThe Ye family people, though, were flabbergasted when they saw him like this since it was already quite known that he was very strong. He returned to his room not meeting anyone from his closer circle to his great delight as he was not in a state to comfort others, and immediately went to recuperate.
