On a planet brimming with spiritual energy.
In a valley on this planet, filled with tiny white flowers, a woman of unparalleled beauty sat cross-legged among the blossoms, practicing her breathing exercises. Beside her stood two people: a young girl draped in a black cloak and a handsome man in white.
The cloaked girl looked at the woman who was breathing exercises to heal her wounds with concern. The handsome man in white, as white as snow, leisurely gazed at the surrounding scenery, occasionally idly twirling the jade flute in his hand.
After a long while, Feng Wu finished healing and opened her eyes.
"Master, how are you feeling?" As soon as A Yao saw Feng Wu open her eyes, she immediately rushed to Feng Wu's side.
"I'm fine." Feng Wu reached out and touched A Yao's head, then smoothed out the few messy strands of hair around her ears.
"Did you hear that? Your master is alright now. So, shouldn't you keep your promise?" Luo Bai said with a smile.
Luo Bai flashed forward, grabbed A Yao's hand, and pulled her up. A Yao gasped in surprise as Luo Bai tore open a spatial barrier and carried her away. Feng Wu tried to stop them, but her injuries were severe; she had only just recovered and was no match for them.
"A-Yao—"
Feng Wu stood up, and before she could even call out, A Yao and Luo Bai had already disappeared.
————
The spirit realm, the endless sea.
In the endless sea of the spirit realm, there is said to be the Eye of Return to Nothingness, the place where all waters converge, and the palace of the dragon race was built upon it. There are actually many dragon palaces, but only the one on the Eye of Return to Nothingness was built by the ancestor of the ancient true dragon race.
At this moment, in a magnificent hall somewhere in the Dragon Palace, an unusual change occurred in space. Then, a spatial rift was torn open, and a beam of light shot out from the rift. After landing, it transformed into a man in white and a girl wearing a black cloak.
The Dragon Palace is filled with ancient restrictions, making it impossible for anyone, even a Celestial Emperor, to easily tear through space and arrive there. But Luo Bai, as the Lord of the Dragon Clan, is an exception.
"What are you doing?" Ayao angrily shook off Luo Bai's hand.
When Ayao was taken to the Dragon Palace, she didn't look around with any curiosity. She had been to this place many times in her previous life.
"Have you forgotten what you promised me? Or have you gone back on your word?" Luo Bai said, looking at A Yao.
Of course, A Yao hadn't forgotten what she had promised him. She looked at Luo Bai and said, "My master is still not out of danger, and your mission is not yet complete."
“I will only save her once; after that, she will have to rely on herself,” Luo Bai said.
“Then our previous deal is null and void,” Ayao said, glaring at him.
Luo Bai's gaze suddenly turned dangerous; the look in his golden eyes was more terrifying than a sharp sword. A Yao's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Luo Bai was not as gentle as he appeared. In fact, his gentle and refined demeanor was just a disguise; he was extremely terrifying inside.
If she really angered him at this point, it wouldn't do her any good. Adhering to the principle of knowing when to yield, Ayao softened her tone and said with a smile:
"I... I didn't mean to go back on my word. I... I was just worried about my master."
The man suddenly smiled again, a perfect smile like ten miles of peach blossoms blooming in the spring breeze, as if the sense of danger he had just given had never existed. He said:
"Feng Wu, you don't need to worry. You're an old guy who has lived for millions of years. Once you recover, you won't be so easy to kill. I didn't even take the Causal Mirror."
As Ayao watched him approach, she felt a chill run down her spine.
What... what is this guy trying to do?
Ayao looked around and belatedly realized that she was in Luo Bai's palace. Inside the spacious palace, gauze curtains made of silk swayed gently, and there were decorations such as coral around. A huge white jade pillar had a golden dragon coiled around it, and a cool and refreshing fragrance filled the air.
As Luo Bai approached step by step, A Yao retreated step by step. She looked at him and smiled, then asked tremblingly, "What...what do you want to do?"
“Didn’t you want to cultivate with me before? Let’s cultivate together!” Luo Bai said with a smile.
After saying that, he picked Ayao up horizontally and carried her, causing her to scream. In an instant, Luo Bai was beside the bed and placed Ayao on the large bed.
As soon as Ayao's back touched the soft blanket, she tried to get up, but her hands were immediately held down by the man.
The man pressed down on her and began kissing her cherry blossom-like lips. Ayao's eyes widened, and she instinctively tried to struggle and push him away, but one of his hands began to caress her body. His teasing made her feel as if all her strength had been drained away...
"Hmm..."
The black cloak was the first thing to be untied and thrown to the ground, followed by A Yao's outer robe.
The kisses fell heavily on her fair neck, shoulders, and chest...
In her past life's thousand-year dream, she had cultivated with him many times. Although it was a dream, the experiences within it felt incredibly real. Suddenly, A-Yao's eyes glazed over, and she became disoriented, wondering if she had returned to a dream. Fortunately, she still retained her rationality, forcefully pushing the man away and getting up.
On the large bed, the long-haired girl reached out and hugged the quilt to cover her snow-white body, then moved to a corner. She looked at the man in a flustered manner and said:
"Wait a moment."
"What are you waiting for? Are you going to back out?" Luo Bai's expression was very displeased.
No man would be in a good mood if this kind of thing was interrupted.
“No, no.” Ayao immediately shook her head. “I, I just haven’t prepared yet.”
Luo Bai looked at A Yao hiding in the corner and asked with a smile, "So how long do you plan to prepare?"
“Three, three to five hundred years, I guess…” Ayao said weakly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the temperature drop suddenly. Luo Bai's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately changed her mind, saying loudly, "No, thirty to fifty years."
Luo Bai's gaze remained as cold as ever.
"Three to five months!" Ayao said loudly, her head down, eyes closed, and body hunched over.
silence.
Before Luo Bai could finish speaking, A Yao opened her eyes and looked up at him. Luo Bai was staring at her, his gaze blatant. A Yao immediately pulled the blanket tighter around herself, afraid that he might suddenly become a beast. If he really forced himself on her, she wouldn't be able to resist.
“Alright! I’ll give you some time,” Luo Bai said.
Watching him get out of bed, Ayao breathed a sigh of relief.
How should I put it about A Yao's dual cultivation with Luo Bai?
This wasn't a painful thing, after all, she had always liked Luo Bai's face, and in her previous life, they had already cultivated together countless times in her dreams.
But a dream is a dream, no matter how real it may seem. The Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan are sworn enemies. How could a phoenix possibly unite with a dragon, especially a dragon emperor? If she were to actually cultivate with him, she would have no face to face her master or the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan.
She tackled Luo Bai earlier because of an emergency and had no other choice.
