nWu Long carefully left Feng Yi’s embrace and went to get a warm wet towel, as well as a soft dry one, and gently cleaned her up. He then laid her on the dry and clean side of the bed and covered her in a blanket, brushing off the hair that covered her face slightly to the side with an intimate motion.

nHe went slightly hard on her, but he never gave anyone pleasure they could not handle. In her case, she was an army commander, and what the kingdom army most valued was not explosive combat strength but stamina. Her great stamina was unknowingly her downfall in her challenge to Wu Long, since he accurately gauged how much she could endure which was a lot more than any of the partners he had up to here. Though she would most likely not recognize it and train this stamina even more in order to beat him, thus continuing to move further to the mouth of despair, as it was apparent that she was a competitive and tenacious person. That small weakness she showed at the end is bound to make her more determined to win back her pride. She would very likely challenge him over and over again. And more than being competitive, she was not someone to be submissive even when she fell in love. Though he liked that prideful and lively character. There was something very refreshing about her when he just met her that made him interested in her. But he could not describe it in clear words.

nHe sat in a lotus position and started cultivating. Her Pure Yin Essence as well as the abundant Yin Qi she released was enough for him to advance to the 9th level of Qi Gathering Realm and consolidate that advancement. It took him nearly until morning, and Feng Yi woke up almost at the same time he finished his cultivation, just about ten minutes after.

nShe slightly blushed but then her face returned to normal, as she cleared her throat and went to the bathroom to wash up. He smiled as he looked at her stunning figure while she went past him. Her wavy red hair covering one side of her face as they were all collected to that side and going down to her bare, ample and bouncy chest that was going slightly up and down in unison to her steps and also freely falling over the shoulder to her sensual back down to the round and juicy ass that swayed to the sides as she walked with her long and slender legs on elegant bare feet. Each step she took made the slightly perky hills with cherries on top sway a little and bounce. She was not shy to show off her body as she did not take a blanket from the bed or cover the bathroom door when she went in and started to wash up.

nWu Long was already cleaned up as he went to the bathroom right after he finished cultivating, so he just clothed himself while enjoying the show.

nAs she finished, she wore her clothes and then armor, she had some spare underwear in her spatial ring, as women always had more precautions than men in the cultivation world in that regard, and carried spares at all times just in case. She then tied her hair into a high ponytail leaving only a strand on one side of her face.

nWhen she was all clothed in armor, she was now completely composed, as it gave her an extra layer of comfort, as something that has protected her for many years. After it was damaged she would always repair it, not replace.

nWu Long gave her a small pill bottle he took out from his spatial ring earlier.

n“Take this so that you feel normal during the day, as your hips might feel sore for a few days. It will even allow you to go on horseback without trouble, but don’t take more than one a day”

nHe said to the question in her eyes.

n“…Thank you… And about what I said last night… I may be your woman now, but that does not mean I will submit to you. Next time you will not see me begging you for anything, don’t get cocky because you caught me on my first time”

nShe said as she took the bottle. Her pride did not let her admit that moment of weakness. Though Wu Long simply nodded, truthfully, he did not plan to extort a relationship from her with those words said admittedly in a vulnerable moment, but it seems she does admit the part about becoming his woman, just not the part about being sorry and wrong to question his ability to satisfy her.

nShe nodded to his understanding and turned to leave. But as she got closer to the exit, she stopped and looked slightly to the side as her eyes looked over her shoulder.

n“…I will be back to see if you can be so cocky after the next time later”

nShe said and went out as Wu Long chuckled.

nOn another day, Luo Mingyu suddenly came out of her lodging a bit earlier than usual with an excited look, although she was a little pale as her fatigue was accumulating over the days. It was the first time since she thought that Wu Long mocked her that she talked to him again in a direct conversation, and she bowed to him right from the start.

n“Thank you for the words you gave me!”

nShe said as Wu Long smiled at her.

n“Congratulations on your breakthrough” .𝙘𝙤𝙢

nLuo Mingyu was now at the 7th level of Qi Condensation despite being at the 2nd level only yesterday, such astronomical speed of cultivation while keeping the cultivation base completely stable was only available to Dao Cultivators, as they only required enlightenment or mental realm growth to do so. Though this did come with a penalty that they could not advance in cultivation by simply gathering Spiritual Qi or with medicine, and could be potentially stuck if they could not achieve some enlightenment or new comprehension of the Dao. But the main attractive point of Dao Cultivation for many people was that it was one of the rare cultivation paths that could take a person with essentially no talent to high realms and extend their lifespan in exchange for having almost no combat power.

nWu Long was inwardly impressed, as how much she could get from his help was limited by her own comprehension, introspection, and insight. And the results she showed were incredible. Such a jump in cultivation could only be achieved through a vast expansion of her mental realm and comprehension of the Dao.

nShe would of course need to digest all of these for some time, but it meant that her potential was that high.

n“My apologies, when you said those words, I thought you were mocking me, and I…got frustrated despite-…”

nWu Long waved his hand to stop her apology while smiling at her honesty. She could have been completely silent about misunderstanding and resenting him as she did not say anything about it and normal people would not have even known from her outer demeanor. But she decided that even holding such thoughts was already a big mistake on her part, to someone who helped her, no less.

nShe then started to talk to Wu Long when she was walking or generally free from her lessons or duties. She was discussing the Dao while he gave her some words back that made her ponder her own thinking.

nHe asked her to spare him from her discussions with her friends as he really was not interested in listening to children expouning on the Dao and measuring their dragons while doing so. His main concern in this place was her, and now, Feng Yi. The rest of the people were of no interest to him.

nHe did keep an open ear to rumors though, as knowing the situation in the world could potentially help him with his search, and it was generally his habit to be somewhat aware of what was happening around him. Though not everything interested him, knowing did not hurt.

nHe heard a particular one that pertained to his journey from two bodyguards who also were hired for this period of danger and liked discussing rumors with each other. It was about the sea he had to cross in order to get to the Spirit Wood Continent. Apparently, to cross the sea one had to be beware of pirates, and basically in the last 100 years no one has crossed that sea without getting approval from the Pirate Queen. She has been terrorizing the Liugwei Kingdom for years and they cannot do anything to her.

nShe also has a daughter who is called the Pirate Princess and is feared almost as much as her despite being only 20 or so years old, but only when she is not around as she is known for hating that nickname. He already heard a rumor about pirates from Liugwei Kingdom at the banquet of the Ye family, but this was the first time he heard about a mother-daughter pair of pirates who ruled them, and who, reportedly, were both top beauties.

n‘Heh, a mother-daughter pair huh? It has been a while…’

nWu Long smiled at this thought.
