Chapter 148

In the following days, Yan Chuyao stopped going to school and instead stayed at the villa, fooling around and having a good time.

As Rong Rong absorbed his yang energy night after night, the time she spent away from the painting during the day gradually increased, and Yan Chuyao finally realized what was going on.

So Rong Rong disappeared after only a few bites that day because her cultivation level wasn't high enough?

Yan Chuyao chuckled to himself, but he was also worried for Rong Rong.

Who wouldn't want to have a body forever, and move freely between the painting and the real world?

At Rong Rong's current pace, it will take a long time to achieve that.

Yan Chuyao turned to look at Rong Rong, who was nestled in the leather sofa watching TV. He wondered if there was any way to help Rong Rong speed up her cultivation.

Since Rong Rong and Yan Chuyao became close, the entire third floor was rearranged according to Rong Rong's wishes, and now the third floor is comfortable for Rong Rong everywhere.

Yan Chuyao also learned Rong Rong's name, and the two interacted like ordinary lovers.

"Why don't you absorb more yang energy? I can handle it!" Yan Chuyao walked to Rong Rong's side, hugged her in his arms, and then sat back on the sofa.

He was right before. The little bit of yang energy that Rong Rong absorbed had no effect on him at all. In fact, Yan Chuyao always felt that he had inexhaustible energy with nowhere to release it.

He's definitely more resilient than Lu Yichen! Yan Chuyao smiled smugly.

He stroked Rong Rong's hair with a cool and domineering air, imagining himself as a powerful overlord embracing his beauty.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his cheek. When he looked up, he met Rong Rong's angry yet breathtakingly beautiful face.

The other person was pinching his face and pulling it outwards.

"I've already told you, don't pretend to be a domineering CEO! If you keep doing that, you'll be slapped in the face!" Her soft voice sounded even more arrogant because of her anger.

Rong Rong just couldn't understand why this perfectly handsome, sunny boy would always give that inexplicable, sinister smile. It was really creepy!

"Ouch! I won't do it again! I won't do it again! Rong Rong, please let me go!" Yan Chuyao begged for mercy, his domineering and arrogant demeanor from just moments before vanishing instantly.

When Rong Rong let go, Yan Chuyao hissed and covered his face, pressing his tongue against his cheek that had been pinched red. When he met Rong Rong's dark eyes, he immediately put on a wronged look.

"Rongrong, I'll never dare to do it again!" he said, pulling Rongrong closer to him and tempting her, "I'm willing to accept the punishment and let Rongrong suckle to her heart's content?"

"Rong Rong should absorb more energy so she can quickly improve her cultivation. Don't you want to spend more time with me outside?"

"No!" Rong Rong said bluntly, her attention returning to the television.

It wasn't that she didn't want to increase her cultivation speed, but with her current method of absorption, absorbing more every day wouldn't have much effect. If she wanted to stay outside all day long, or even go outside, her cultivation would need to make a qualitative leap.

What's the point of simply absorbing a few breaths of yang energy? Unless you get some rare and precious treasure, or...

Thinking of this, Rong Rong closed her mind. She hadn't thought about taking things further with Yan Chuyao. She always felt that this kid was a bit cheeky, and Rong Rong just didn't want to see his smug look.

"Rongrong, I'm doing this for your own good! Don't you want to go out and try the roast duck from Yushan Restaurant? The boiled fish from Da Yutang? The Drunken Eight Immortals..."

In the blink of an eye, Yan Chuyao recited a long list of dishes to Rong Rong. Rong Rong remained glued to the TV, seemingly not hearing what Yan Chuyao was saying at all, but she had already secretly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Yan Chuyao took it all in, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider. He now understood Rong Rong quite well and knew her weaknesses very well.

Strangely, Rong Rong clearly wanted to, but she stubbornly refused to give in. It's unclear what her concerns were.

Yan Chuyao didn't continue the topic, but instead quietly went online to check.

As a result, a post appeared on a certain metaphysical forum asking how ghosts and monsters could quickly increase their cultivation level.

The answers are naturally varied. Most of the people on the forum are enthusiasts of metaphysics, or you could call them laymen. They can all say a few things about metaphysics, but how much of it is right and how much is wrong is unknown.

Yan Chuyao was unaware of these things. He had gone to great lengths to find this forum and considered it the most reliable one.

The replies from the forum members were particularly convincing, making it seem like the truth to him, a complete novice in metaphysics.

Yan Chuyao carefully reviewed the methods offered by several 'professionals' and selected which ones he could do.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, fixing on a certain line of text that he couldn't look away from.

All I could see was that line of text.

The easiest and quickest way is to replenish Yin with Yang energy, and the more the better.

Absorbing Yang to replenish Yin? Yan Chuyao felt that he and Rong Rong had been doing this activity all along, but he also had a vague feeling that what this person was talking about was different from what they were doing.

After thinking it over and over, unable to suppress his curiosity or longing, Yan Chuyao privately messaged the other party to inquire about the specific method.

Soon, Yan Chuyao turned off the computer with a blush on her face.

It turns out that the practice of "absorbing yang to replenish yin" is not the same concept as what he and Rong Rong did.

Or, to put it another way, Rong Rong absorbing his yang energy is just the most basic method of replenishing yang energy. In fact, there are deeper and more efficient methods, which is for men and women to replenish each other's yang energy through unspeakable acts.

Only the latter can be called "absorbing yang to replenish yin".

......

He hadn't dared to think about it before, but now that someone had planted a seed in Yan Chuyao's heart, Yan Chuyao was starting to get restless.

That very night, Yan Chuyao secretly took action; however, whenever his hand crossed the line, Rong Rong would slap it away.

In the end, Yan Chuyao failed and could only pitifully beg when Rong Rong was about to leave.

"Rong Rong, you can speed up your cultivation, right? Go for it without being careless!"

As he spoke, Yan Chuyao lay back on the bed in a starfish position and gave Rong Rong a wink.

*Thud!* The pillow slammed heavily onto Yan Chuyao's face, and Rong Rong vanished completely from the room.

The next day, Yan Chuyao still wouldn't give up.

After thinking it over, he came up with a solution.

He ordered the dishes he had previously mentioned one by one, and delicious food was delivered to the villa table by table.

Rongrong was a ghost, so she wasn't worried about overeating and getting fat. She ate to her heart's content, feeling that there was nothing happier in the world.

Yan Chuyao was also very wicked. Whenever Rong Rong was about to return to the portrait to rest, Yan Chuyao would order new dishes.

The eight major cuisines of the Flower Kingdom, along with desserts, fruits, and teas, were served for three consecutive days without repeating a single dish. Rong Rong also did not return to the painting for three consecutive days.

Finally, just as Rong Rong was enjoying her meal, her cultivation could no longer maintain her physical form, and she returned to the painting in a flash.

In the painting, Rong Rong is still in the posture of holding a bowl of noodles and slurping them up, but she actually eats air in one bite.

Her mind went blank for a moment. Rong Rong stared blankly for a moment, then put the food in her mouth again. When she bit into air again, she finally realized that she couldn't eat it!

Even worse, Yan Chuyao, under the pretext of not wasting food, ate all the remaining dishes in front of Rong Rong's portrait!
