Dual Cultivation?

After the dance ended, loud applause erupted from the surrounding audience. It was not only recognition of the Tianshui Seven's dance, but also of their courage!

"Yes! Great, we did it!" Shui Yue'er jumped excitedly, overjoyed.

She had finally overcome the audience's gazes and successfully performed a dance.

"Yes, we can do it!" The girls smiled as well. This little dance carried enormous significance.

This was the first step they had taken. They believed they would only get better from here on out!

"Enough, one little dance has made you this happy?" Long Jie approached with a stern face. Though he had gained more approval for the girls in his heart,

he could not praise them now. It would make them arrogant too easily!

After the audience had dispersed, Long Jie's expression turned cold as he mercilessly said, "Look at what kind of dance that was."

"Bing'er, that move of yours just now could clearly have gone lower. Why did you force yourself to stop there?"

"And Yue'er, did you know you nearly bumped into your teammate just now?"

Long Jie shook his head. "You're still lacking polish. Train harder from now on!"

"Yes!" The girls lowered their heads. They did not dare argue with Long Jie and could only comply.

Long Jie was quite satisfied and was about to say something nice when a discordant voice came from nearby.

"Yo! Isn't this the Tianshui Battle Team? Haven't seen you in a few days, and you've become this pathetic? You've fallen so low that you're being lectured by a man?"

As she spoke, a curvaceous woman walked over from not far away. She wore smoky makeup and a black leather outfit, her face full of the smug smile of a petty villain as she strode toward the seven members of the Tianshui Battle Team.

Two other girls followed beside her, one fat and tall, the other thin and lanky.

The woman came before the Tianshui Battle Team and said mockingly, "Well, well. Who would have thought that the Tianshui Battle Team's geniuses would be reduced to performing on the plaza today? How is it? Did you make any money? Want me to give you some charity? Hahaha!"

"Boss, we shouldn't look down on them. Let them perform here for a few days and earn their own money!" The fat woman laughed as well, ruthlessly mocking the Tianshui Battle Team.

"If you're short on money, I can introduce you to a few young masters. Then... hahaha!"

The three women immediately began mocking them for no reason. Long Jie frowned and glanced at Shui Bing'er and the others, not knowing who these people were.

Shui Bing'er and the others looked equally displeased. They glared angrily but did not know how to curse them back.

They had all received a higher education and naturally would not lower themselves to argue with trash.

But Long Jie could not stand it. He immediately said, "Which Toad Demon brought these fat and skinny monks here to yap? What, are you jealous that our Tianshui Battle Team has so many fans?"

"Toad Demon? Who are you talking about?" The girls did not understand. What Toad Demon? And what were fat and skinny monks?

Shui Yue'er looked carefully at the three people before her in confusion, then suddenly understood. Laughing, she said, "Hahaha, I get it! She's the Toad Demon, right? That black leather outfit looks just like toad skin, and her makeup looks like toad eyes too, hahaha..."

After Shui Yue'er's explanation, everyone suddenly understood and could not help laughing.

It really did look alike!

"Hmph! You called me a Toad Demon?" Mocked by everyone, the woman in black leather could not take it anymore. She glared furiously at Long Jie, wishing she could swallow him whole.

"Oh! If you're not a Toad Demon, why are you dressed so much like one? I thought you were some hundred-thousand-year-old toad that had taken human form!" Long Jie mocked her mercilessly. The girls don't want to curse you because they're afraid of dirtying their mouths. I'm different!

"You... just you wait!" The woman in black leather was furious. Unable to retort, she turned and left, with the fat and skinny monks hurriedly following after her.

She probably would not want to wear that makeup or those clothes for the rest of her life!

"Long Jie, you shouldn't have cursed her!" At that moment, Shui Bing'er came to Long Jie's side and said worriedly, "That woman is called Wang Yu. She used to be a reserve member of our Tianshui Battle Team!"

"Oh? One of our own?" Long Jie was puzzled. Since she had once been one of them, why did they act like enemies meeting?

Shui Bing'er shook her head. "Not really one of our own. We never acknowledged her. Not only was her talent poor, but she was incredibly lazy, and her temper was terrible..."

After listing dozens of offenses in a row, Long Jie could not help laughing. He asked, "Then why did you let her join?"

"We had no choice!" Shui Yue'er stepped forward and said angrily, "Her mother is the academic affairs supervisor! She's over level forty. Who wouldn't be afraid of her?"

"Oh... so that's how it is. I understand!" Long Jie nodded. Since that was the case, they really had to be careful.

The little incident did not affect Long Jie's time off. Soon, he parted ways with the members of the Tianshui Battle Team and returned to the room with Shui Bing'er.

Along the way, Long Jie said apologetically, "Sorry, Bing'er. I forgot to tell the Vice Dean..."

"It's fine!" Shui Bing'er forced a smile. Recalling the Vice Dean's words, she hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Um... how about you stay with me... Anyway, anyway, there's a bed, so it won't affect anything!"

As she spoke, her heartbeat quickened and her face flushed slightly. She hurriedly added, "Of course, you won't be staying for free. You have to teach me to dance at night!"

To ease the awkwardness, she casually said it, only to regret it as soon as the words left her mouth. Training during the day was already hard enough. Did she have to train at night too?

Damn it, why is my mouth so stupid?

The young girl stood there in conflict, moonlight shining down upon her and adding an immortal air to an already stunningly beautiful girl.

Long Jie could not help staring in a daze. She truly seemed like a celestial maiden descended into the mortal world, gorgeous beyond anything found in this world.

Looking at her, Long Jie slowly said, "All right. Then I'll have to trouble you from now on!"

Shui Bing'er had already asked, and he was not an idiot. How could he possibly refuse?

After returning to the room, the two had different thoughts. After bathing, Shui Bing'er entered cultivation before Long Jie did, seemingly afraid that he would really make her practice dancing.

Of course, Long Jie was not stupid enough to do something like that either. After he finished bathing, he saw Shui Bing'er sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. An idea suddenly came to him, and he climbed onto Shui Bing'er's bed, sitting cross-legged across from her to cultivate with her.

Shui Bing'er was startled. What was he doing? Why was he sitting so close?

She wanted to tell Long Jie to move farther away, but he simply sat cross-legged before her and began cultivating, seeming to have no improper intentions toward her.

This made Shui Bing'er breathe a sigh of relief, and she resumed cultivating. It did not matter until she began cultivating, but the moment she did, she was startled. She discovered that after absorbing the Fire Soul Power Long Jie exhaled, her cultivation speed increased dramatically.

The change was like using 3G all your life, then suddenly connecting to 5G one day. It felt incredibly smooth!!!
