"You don't want it?" Yun Zhi Yue immediately shook her head. "I do want it! It's just that my Master has been so good to me that I feel a bit overwhelmed."
Li Shang said nothing more and pulled her onto his lap.
Yun Zhi Yue stiffened. What was he doing? But there was no time to think too much; the comforting flow of his energy made her drowsy, and she obediently nestled against Li Shang, gradually absorbing his power.
What belonged to others was not something she had cultivated herself. To fully accept it required delicate refinement. To put it bluntly, it was like someone chewing food and then feeding it to you. The chewed food still needed time to digest, and she had to overcome her body's instinctive rejection, forcing herself to swallow.
Time was irrelevant in cultivation. She didn't know how long had passed when Yun Zhi Yue sensed the moment of breakthrough. She immediately urged the Five-Colored Soil within her body to refine herself, leaping forward to strike at Heaven's Threshold.
The breakthrough was astonishingly smooth, as easy as eating or drinking. Just as she was about to open her eyes in joyful anticipation, a more substantial force of cultivation surged into her body, touching her soul.
"Is he crazy? Why is he giving me so much power?" Yun Zhi Yue thought, bewildered. Whether intentional or not, her soul was being brushed against repeatedly. If entangled, it would lead to spiritual cultivation.
Even Dao Companions might not achieve spiritual cultivation together because it required complete trust; one misstep could lead to losing a partner.
Suddenly, her soul jolted.
Yun Zhi Yue melted into Li Shang's embrace, letting out a soft moan that revealed all her charms. The Imperial Realm was overwhelmingly powerful; even her instinctive resistance couldn't rise against it. She could only immerse herself in the sensation of absorbing his energy, completely lost and unaware of her actions.
Her cultivation continued to overflow, occasionally teasing the fragile essence of her soul. Li Shang found pleasure in this but also felt a pang of discomfort.
Yun Zhi Yue's cultivation reached the Heavenly Mirror Pinnacle and paused just before entering Huang Tian Jing.
If he wished, he could easily elevate her to the peak of Zun Zhe, just one step below the Imperial Realm. However, that would be counterproductive; if she were rushed into such heights, she would never reach the Imperial Realm in this lifetime.
He understood what she wanted. The incident with Yue Qi had stripped away her sense of security and trust in others. He wanted her to grow strong enough to be fearless on her own before discussing their relationship further.
He gently licked her slightly parted red lips and held her tightly. "Yun Zhi Yue, I really want to cultivate both spirit and flesh with you," he thought, but decided to wait a little longer.
Though the improvement in cultivation seemed swift, it actually spanned centuries. To achieve such rapid advancement within a hundred years meant she had been bestowed with power from above; normal cultivation could never yield such results.
A century is a lifetime for humans, but it means little in the celestial realm.
Yun Zhi Yue discovered that she was the Heavenly Mirror Pinnacle. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t shocked, yet she vaguely remembered her soul being touched, which made her feel somewhat awkward when facing Li Shang. She didn’t want to think about it, but she couldn’t resist Li Shang’s inclination to be close to her.
While practicing swordsmanship, he wrapped his arms around her waist and taught her hand-in-hand. Was this how a master and disciple should behave? When Sister Three taught her cultivation before, it was never this intimate.
The path of enlightenment was not easy to learn. No matter how talented a genius might be, they couldn’t grasp it all at once; they needed a guide to lead them step by step until they became familiar with it.
She wasn’t skilled with the sword, and everything had to start from scratch. Still, she devoted herself wholeheartedly, trying her best to ignore certain discomforts.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to investigate; she simply didn’t dare. What if things turned sour and she got crushed? For now, if she could learn something and become stronger, she would endure this workplace harassment for the time being.
One day, when she returned to the Imperial Realm, she would retaliate! Hahaha! Who told Li Shang to be so handsome? She truly was a clever little thing!
