Dual Cultivation God Returns

As Wu Long watched Shen Min who very peacefully and sweetly slept in his embrace, her cheeks rosy and her lips full as she slightly smacked them, his mind stirred as he realized that for someone in Foundation Building Realm to become so tired and needing sleep so deep, she had to have not slept since the last time they saw each other, and even then since the last time they cultivated together she only sporadically slept a little and very lightly, sensitive to everything around.

It was only in his arms that she relaxed enough to completely give in to the mortal need that still persisted as she was not in the Mortal Transcendence Realm just yet.

"So cute"

He could not get enough of looking at this adorable and endearing sight of her guard completely down as she was with her man that gave her the sense of absolute security and peace.contemporary romance

Wu Long did not use Hua Ziyan's Yin Qi for cultivation, choosing to store it with the seal of Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art much like the lightning before.

It alone would not have been enough for him to breach the wall between the 3rd and 4th level of the Revolving Qi Realm, and yet it was too strong and had its unique tenacity to use it just to enhance his Spiritual Qi with the Spiritual Qi War Art.

But combining it with Shen Min's Extreme Yin Qi was just what he required since he could breach the initial hurdle of the bottleneck with that explosive potential and then grind the rest down with Hua Ziyan's tenacious Yin Qi that was perfect for the finishing part of a hard breakthrough.

Since he breached the watershed level he could feel a leap in his powers, the Spiritual Qi vortex revolving in his Dantian becoming faster and faster as well as wider, now taking up almost one fourth of the Dantian.

It's volatility has gone up a little, becoming slightly unstable right after the breakthrough but this was normal for every cultivator in the Revolving Qi Realm, and as he settled in his realm it would gradually become stable throughout the day or two.

And to his joy, his Foundation still showed no signs of being shaken, solid and dependable to carry his cultivation higher.

'Hmm, the 3rd layer of the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art really is mirculous. It is a pity Mingyu cannot perceive the layers I have not'

He mused as he checked his condition. The fact that he did not need to wait for his foundation to stabilize and could cultivate right away felt like massive shackles have broken off of his legs, as he lived his entire past life dragging his feet with that weight.

"Mm"

After a while, Shen Min woke up, a smile appearing on her face as she felt the warm and sturdy body supporting and embracing hers.

"Mnnn"

She snuggled closer not opening her eyes, breathing in his scent and listening to the sound of his heart. It was obvious she was not ready to part and get ready for the new day, preferring to laze around in bed even a second longer. He did not object as a smile appeared on his face and his arms held her a tiny bit tighter, tenderly patting her shoulder with the right arm that went under her as he relished her presence as much as she did his.

The sun was high in the clear sky as there were no signs of yesterday's clouds and the freshly fallen snow covered the training ground like a puffy flaky white carpet.

Two figures appeared on the open space, leaving the first human traces as Shen Min and Hua Ziyan started their 'morning' practice in the noon.

"Feng Yi?"

Ye Ling who sat on that balcony from which they previously looked over the training grounds, asked to Wu Long who sat next to her.

"Hehe, lying in bed. I gave her some pills and massaged some ointments so she should be fine"

He chuckled as he remembered the half-dead looking Feng Yi lying in her bed, an expression of lethargic agony frozen on her face.

He did treat her yesterday but as she was not conscious he only did a light treatment that would not take away her gains from the training, since then she would truly have suffered for nothing. She had to feel some of the discomfort while being awake to truly benefit from Ye Ling's lesson.

"Thank you, Ling'er"

He then said, his voice calm and collected, and his tone light as if he just said "hello". But Ye Ling froze at these simple words spoken as if in passing and with a lighthearted feeling.

She looked to the side to see his eyes in which she saw the endless love and tenderness, gratitude and a little guilt, her reflection in them as if even more beautiful and endearing.

"I have been leaving the care and follow up of the Dao Family while relying on you for advice and understanding. Causing you to take up some unsightly roles as well.

I am grateful. Truly.

But there is some times you need to be pampered and let loose as well. You should take off the mantle of being the one who holds the fort and supports me from behind once in a while. There is a limit to how all-accepting all-forgiving and all-understanding you can be.

You have reminded me that I am human too and should indulge my selfishness once every so often.

I realized it once again, thanks to you, thanks to them, and to living in this mortal body that needs sleep and rest and sustenance.

There is a time to be strong, and a time to be weak"

He chuckled as he spoke, opening up his embrace. She sat still for a moment, as her body leaned forward to him, then drew back as if struggling with herself and her eyes started to redden. She then threw herself into his arms as tears started going down her cheeks.

All the times she was lonely and missing him, or had to hold everything together and be the kind older sister his women needed. All the worry for him and his well being, and the pain of not being able to help or seeing him struggle with anything. All the stress and accumulated mental fatigue poured into hot tears that streamed down and wet his robes as he patted her back.

She was no longer the tranquil and calm, always collected and gentle lady, but a small fragile woman seeking warmth in the hands of her man.

"My lovely Ling'er, you have done well"

He soothed her as a distant sound of the two beauties training reverberated brought by the cold but refreshing wind. He held her that night in his arms, giving her the pleasure and tender love, soothing and pampering her, giving her his all and taking all of her as his.
