Chapter 95 No trace of the vibrant spring colors can escape its allure.
Ling Shu repeatedly confirmed, "Are we really going back to our room?"
Zhuang Jinfu took her hand, turned around to avoid her burning gaze, and pulled her towards the shore.
Ling Shu was overwhelmed with emotion and followed her.
After getting ashore and taking a shower, Zhuang Jinfu dressed herself and waited outside with flowers. When Lingshu came out, Zhuang Jinfu came to greet her, took her hand, and held her tightly as if afraid that Lingshu would leave her.
Zhuang Jinfu led the person into his room and then slammed the door shut behind him.
Ling Shu smiled helplessly.
Zhuang Jinfu found a vase and arranged the flowers.
Ling Shu sat cross-legged on the couch and waited for her.
The person arrived quickly, removed his outer robe, sat opposite her, raised his palm, and caused his magical power to converge through his palm, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to gather around the two of them.
As her magical power flowed, Ling Shu realized that Zhuang Jin Fu's meridians were severely blocked. Three years ago, Zhuang Jin Fu helped her, and now she could finally help Zhuang Jin Fu. She always remembered Zhuang Jin Fu's kindness to her. She had been so immature before, but fortunately, they still had a long time to spend together. She could slowly treat her well and repay her favoritism.
However, there are exceptions in certain situations.
Ling Shu calmed his mind and channeled his warm magical power into her body, clearing away the blockages in her meridians little by little. Without moving his hands, he used his mind to control an object, taking out a small, golden sphere from his storage bracelet.
Zhuang Jinfu suddenly felt a boost from outside. He opened his eyes and saw a golden pill hanging between the two of them. Ling Shu's magic power was enhanced several times through this pill.
This is an external golden core used to assist in cultivation. It is extremely expensive to make, costing at least 350,000 spirit stones per core. Moreover, the materials required for its refinement are all rare and precious items. The refinement process requires very precise control of the heat, and it takes experienced Nascent Soul level or above alchemists more than three months of day and night to refine one core.
With this assistance, one can cultivate even without an inner core. However, it is somewhat troublesome to use, as it needs to be carried with one at all times. The connection will automatically disconnect when the golden core is three zhang away, and it needs to be reconnected when it is brought back to one's side.
It seems that Ling Shu used the demon core to cultivate during the three years he didn't have it.
Ling Shu was single-minded, focusing solely on opening up her meridians. After half an hour of effort, they were finally completely opened, and her magical power flowed freely through the meridians, allowing her to draw qi into her body at a faster pace. Then, Ling Shu painstakingly combined her own magical power with hers, engaging in proper dual cultivation and developing her own cultivation level.
Just as Ling Shu was about to unleash her evil power, Zhuang Jinfu slowly opened his eyes, changed from a cross-legged position to a kneeling position, leaned over, and removed his palms from Ling Shu's palms, touching Ling Shu's face.
Ling Shu sat in meditation, and suddenly the connection of magic power in her palms was severed. A warm, cool hand caressed her cheek, and a soft body leaned against her shoulder.
He opened his eyes and saw her, his heart filled with longing, and called out to her, "Shu'er."
"Do you only want to cultivate magic with me?"
Ling Shu placed her hands obediently on her knees, smiled, and said, "Sister, cultivating both magic and physical power is better for you."
Zhuang Jinfu was shy and rarely took the initiative. This was only to keep her, so she mustered up the courage to test her. Ling Shu had never been able to control her desires for her. She beckoned and nodded, and Ling Shu came. Who knew that after three years apart, she had become indifferent and apathetic. She really had grown up. Sigh, so this was the feeling Ling Shu had when she seduced and tested her.
Zhuang Jinfu silently stepped back. She wasn't as thick-skinned as Ling Shu. Since the other party didn't want her, she tactfully withdrew, feeling quite disappointed.
A moment later, Ling Shu's voice rang in her ears, as alluring and pleasant as ever. Three years later, the grown-up Ling Shu's voice carried a touch more composure: "If sister wants it, Shu'er is willing to oblige."
Touched by her respect, Zhuang Jinfu moved back and tilted his head to give her a light kiss on the lips.
In the hot spring, Ling Shu treated her gently, making her no longer resist further intimacy, and even wanting more...
Ling Shu didn't move, but asked her earnestly, "May I, sister?"
Zhuang Jinfu took her hand and led her away. Her rosy cheeks couldn't hide any unspeakable shyness. She lowered her voice and said shyly, "It's fine as long as I'm with Shu'er."
Having received permission, the girl, mindful of boundaries, dared to go further. She rose and knelt beside her, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes so close together that no hint of passionate love could escape her notice.
"Sister, can I tell you a story?"
"Hmm... what story?"
"I just made it up, but I'm proud of how well I made it up." Ling Shu's fingertips slid into her palm, intertwining between her fingers. Their five fingers interlocked, and their palms rubbed together with the movement. Both hands were sweaty and sticky, but she didn't bother to wipe them away. She only regretted that a mistaken killing after the natural disaster had prevented them from being together for the past three years.
"you say."
"There was a peasant girl in the world who had a girl she liked since childhood. This girl came from an official family, which was completely different from her. She was so humble that she didn't even dare to dream of her."
She only dared to get up early and wait in long lines until noon on the day the porridge was distributed each month, just to breathe a little easier, just to receive a bowl of plain porridge ladled out by her own hands. This went on for half a year, until one day, the peasant girl noticed a young lady standing beside the girl, wiping her sweat.
"...Is she going to be disappointed? Ha..." Zhuang Jinfu sighed heavily.
Ling Shu straightened up and continued, "I was indeed disappointed. Later, my family suffered a misfortune. My parents were left with only my widowed mother and my younger sister. My widowed mother spun and farmed every day, working herself to the bone, but she still couldn't support two children... Where could I possibly hide?"
"What about them? You... you're so mean."
Ling Shu, standing behind Zhuang Jinfu, grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head. With her long neck arched back, the fox breathed into the Immortal Venerable's ear, laughing mischievously, "Master, have you ever thought that one day you would kneel before me?"
She gripped his chin tightly, and Zhuang Jinfu, annoyed by her heavy hand, cursed her, panting, "Do you enjoy seeing me like a dog wagging its tail?"
"It felt amazing." She grinned mischievously. "Where were we?"
"Oh."
Ling Shu asked and answered himself: "Then what about them? It was a year of war, and female soldiers were recruited. She signed up and enlisted. Five years on the border washed away her naivety... If you want it, don't hide it, Master. Weren't you very bold at the beginning? She grew into a great general. When the female general returned in triumph, we saw that girl again when she entered the city."
Zhuang Jinfu hated her arrogance. She pretended to be obedient and honest on the floor, but once on the bed, her face changed completely. She spoke nothing but nonsense and did nothing but despicable things. Zhuang Jinfu blushed with shame and anger, and shouted, "You still dare to call me Master? You treacherous bastard who deceives his master!"
"Smack—"
"Ah! You bad dog! You bastard!"
"Hey~" Ling Shu laughed happily, lowered her head to kiss the hair that had fallen on her back, "Let's continue our story."
He released his grip on her chin, sat down beside her, lured over a jasmine flower, and leisurely plucked and smelled it. "Quickly ask me what happened next?"
Using this story to lure her in, leaving her neither here nor there, how could she dare to stop here? Zhuang Jinfu was filled with resentment and indignation, but could only go along with her wishes: "Five years, she might already be married."
“You guessed wrong.” She tucked a jasmine flower behind Zhuang Jinfu’s ear. The pure white flower adorned the celestial being’s face, which was full of spring, making her look even more beautiful. She was satisfied and continued, “When the female general was at the height of her power, the entire family of the official’s daughter was imprisoned. The daughter’s family had a cousin who was a lady-in-waiting in the palace. The cousin tried everywhere to help but was turned away. She had no choice but to come to the female general for help. The arms case was the case that the female general appealed.”
"Ah..." Zhuang Jin's feeling of being caught in a rut finally subsided, and he approached her with a sense of relief, asking her what happened next, "Did she come to the rescue?"
Ling Shu felt that it was about time, so she sped up the pace of the storytelling. The story should end in one go, so that the listener's emotions would not be at their peak and all the previous stories would be wasted, and she would have to start all over again to smooth things out and enhance the emotions. That would be too tiring, and the listener would not have the patience.
Ling Shu had read so many storybooks, and she had also written quite a few in private behind closed doors. She wrote them and read them by herself, all by herself. When she was writing, she was always thinking of her. Today, she was finally able to tell her the story she had been preparing for so long.
"They saved her. They sent people to investigate and found that the girl was actually wronged and had been dragged out to take the blame. She was extremely unlucky. The female general did not want loyal people to be harmed, so she secretly collected evidence and reported it again. My cousin expressed her deepest gratitude on behalf of her family and highly praised the female general's noble character."
"The female general is nice, right? No, she's a bad seed."
“…Bad…seed?” Zhuang Jinfu was startled by her, and the syllables that came out of her mouth were indistinct. She had a premonition that the girl would suffer misfortune. She did not want the girl to suffer, but this feeling was too alluring. She could not help but like it and wanted to continue listening.
"She liked that girl and seized the opportunity. She was domineering and unwilling to let go. She made a condition to her cousin: the daughter of an official had to enter her household."
"Hurry up... hurry up and tell me!"
"What else could the young lady of the official family do? The female general had helped her family and saved them from the death penalty. The female general wanted her out of gratitude, so she had no choice but to go. Once she entered the general's mansion, she found that the female general was, as she had imagined, a wicked woman who loved beautiful women. She gradually developed the desire to escape."
"Later, she finally escaped and entered the imperial court. The female general wouldn't allow her to escape. The two were locked in a fierce battle of wits, constantly hindering each other. Everyone knew they were mortal enemies, but what no one knew was that in private, their arguments would often culminate in a kiss, a tacit understanding between them."
'I hate you, and I love you.'
A jasmine flower fell from Zhuang Jinfu's ear and landed beside their clasped hands. It trembled a few times, and the story was finally over. Zhuang Jinfu breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing the ending, and kicked her shoulder. Ling Shu grinned and obediently took the kick.
Ling Shu lowered her head and kissed Zhuang Jinfu's forehead, saying softly, "Master, we are different from them. We only have love, not hate."
Ling Shu turned and got off the bed to find a handkerchief. Her fair wrist was gently grasped, and she heard the person behind her say shyly in a low voice, "Don't you want it?"
"Still have the strength?"
"I……"
"Alright, I'm not the little girl I was three years ago, easily swayed by the primal desires of demons anymore." Ling Shu turned her head, took that hand, bent down and kissed the back of her hand, her eyes gentle, completely unrecognizable from her mischievous behavior just now.
The fox is too fierce, too wicked, and too daring to offend.
Zhuang Jinfu withdrew her hand, turned her face away and ignored her, secretly resolving to cultivate diligently and restore her body to its original healthy and powerful state as soon as possible, so that she could rebel against her.
Ling Shu brought over a handkerchief and a basin of water, carefully used magic to warm the water, wet the handkerchief, and bent down to help.
Zhuang Jinfu wrapped his clothes tighter, got up from the couch, and went to the bathroom. He wouldn't let her touch it. The pride of an immortal lord was completely scattered within two steps after he got off the couch.
Her legs went weak, and she couldn't stand up, falling down beside the couch.
