Male protagonist system: [Your Deng Le Zong's doctrine—Where there's life, there's hope; a moment of forbearance brings calm, a step back opens up a vast sky.]
Gu Qingqiu: [No, I can't do it. I received a good education in 21st-century morality and ethics. How could I just sleep with any man?]
Male protagonist system: [Is this more important or is my life more important?]
Gu Qingqiu: [……]
Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, I need to mentally prepare myself.]
Male Protagonist System: [Good luck, Host.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Thank you.]
The cave fell silent, which made one of the men feel uneasy. He couldn't help but think of something amusing. "Oh? Tired of crying? Planning to take a nap and start crying again tomorrow?"
Gu Qingqiu said calmly, "I think what that old guy told me before made sense."
"What did you say?" the man asked warily.
“I am a female disciple of the Deng Le Sect. You didn’t know that I can cultivate with you? Our Deng Le Sect’s cultivation method is very powerful. As long as you find a cultivation partner with a higher cultivation level than yourself, you can not only absorb their power, but also heal your wounds and eliminate hunger during the cultivation process. It is very useful.” Gu Qingqiu replied.
"How dare you!" the man roared angrily.
"Why wouldn't I dare? I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well have some fun first." Although Gu Qingqiu was timid, she was still a master of empty talk.
As expected, the man fell silent, and Gu Qingqiu heard the sound of chains struggling.
He's actually quite pitiful, isn't he?
Gu Qingqiu didn't know how much longer she would have to spend with him in this dark and desolate place, so there was no need to make their relationship so strained.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingqiu comforted him, "Although the old man's purpose in locking me up is true, our Deng Le Sect's cultivation method is not as overly domineering as the legends say. It won't really drain your power."
"Heh." The man didn't seem to believe it.
"It's true. Although we Dengle Sect disciples mainly rely on dual cultivation to increase our power, there will always be disciples who meet someone they like. We can't absorb the other person's power every time we have dual cultivation, right? So we actually have another way of circulating our power, which is to use the power of the person we are cultivating with to circulate through our own meridians. This can also promote the improvement of our power."
The man seemed to be considering Gu Qingqiu's words carefully, "Then there's no benefit for me in cultivating with you."
Gu Qingqiu coaxed, "If I possess the Chilong Flame, they will definitely let me out. Once I'm out, I'll find a way to rescue you. If you help me, you'll be my savior. We Dengle Sect disciples always treat our saviors with utmost loyalty. I will definitely rescue you!"
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Swear a solemn oath."
In this world of cultivation, swearing a solemn oath is useful.
If one makes a solemn oath and fails to keep it, inner demons will gradually develop, and one will not be able to escape the calamity when undergoing tribulation. Therefore, most people dare not easily break the solemn oath they have made.
Standing in the other party's shoes, Gu Qingqiu also felt that making a solemn oath would show sincerity.
"What's your name?" Gu Qingqiu asked.
Knowing that a solemn oath is more effective when it includes one's name, the man simply said, "My name is Jiang Chenxin, Jiang as in river, Chen as in Chenxuan, and Xin as in heart."
Surprisingly, the name of this heretical cultivator sounds quite elegant, like that of a scholar.
Gu Qingqiu knelt down, formed a hand seal, and solemnly swore, "I, Gu... Thirteen, hereby swear that from today onwards I will establish a dual cultivation relationship with Jiang Chenxin. If I can successfully leave this cave, I will do my utmost to find a way to save Jiang Chenxin from here; otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes."
"Your name is Gu Shisan?" Jiang Chenxin felt that the name didn't sound like a real name.
“Everyone calls me Thirteen.” Gu Qingqiu did not answer directly. “The oath just now took effect. If I had used a fake name, the oath would not have taken effect at all.”
Of course... it's also acceptable to use code names or nicknames when making an oath, as long as they are genuine.
"Okay." Jiang Chenxin didn't seem to want to pursue the matter further, and lazily asked, "So when do you plan to start?"
“Um…” Gu Qingqiu thought for a moment, “Let me make some preparations first.”
Jiang Chenxin sounded indifferent, "Whatever."
Gu Qingqiu's preparations were actually to review the dual cultivation techniques and, incidentally, to mentally prepare herself.
She was indeed careful when she made the oath, and didn't reveal her full name.
Considering that she still needs to find the male lead after she leaves, if this evil cultivator finds out her name and spreads it around, how will she survive in the martial arts world?
After reviewing the dual cultivation technique more than a dozen times to make sure there were no mistakes, Gu Qingqiu reached the iron chain next to Jiang Chenxin, cast a bathing spell on both of them, and whispered, "I'm ready."
Jiang Chenxin sounded a little awkward too, "...Oh."
The atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward. Gu Qingqiu coughed lightly and took out several porcelain bottles from her treasure bag.
Jiang Chenxin asked, "What did you take out?"
Gu Qingqiu was a little embarrassed, "Um... the Golden Spear Indestructible Medicine."
Jiang Chenxin's face darkened. "I don't need it!"
Gu Qingqiu was about to continue promoting other Denglezong specialties when Jiang Chenxin interrupted her again, "Stop talking nonsense and get to it."
Gu Qingqiu said helplessly, "...Alright."
She straddled Jiang Chenxin, dragging her badly injured legs, and then remained still.
Jiang Chenxin waited for a long time, but Gu Qingqiu didn't make any further moves. She asked in confusion, "Why did you stop? Don't you know how? Aren't you a disciple of the Dengle Sect?"
Gu Qingqiu retorted angrily, "Don't be so hasty! I only have theoretical knowledge, not practical experience!"
Jiang Chenxin was also somewhat shocked. He thought that the group of old guys would deliberately grab a female cultivator from the Dengle Sect who was in her forties or fifties and had rich experience to humiliate him, but he did not expect that they would grab someone who did not know anything.
"How old are you?" Jiang Chenxin's voice was unknowingly a little hoarse.
“...Eighteen.” Gu Qingqiu answered reluctantly, feeling that her identity as a disciple of Dengle Sect was being questioned.
“Oh, a little girl,” Jiang Chenxin commented.
"Shut up." This time it was Gu Qingqiu's turn to lose her temper. She ripped open Jiang Chenxin's belt, lifted up his clothes, and then reached out...
Jiang Chenxin really stopped talking. Gu Qingqiu felt that his breathing was a little rapid and his body was starting to get hot.
Although the two were complete strangers before, the body's reaction is often the most honest. Gu Qingqiu began to recall some techniques from the cultivation method and started to try to touch Jiang Chenxin's body with her hands.
Jiang Chenxin trembled slightly, her body tense with nervousness, but she remained motionless, letting Gu Qingqiu do as she pleased.
Gu Qingqiu suddenly realized something, "You haven't done this before either, have you?"
