The Master Teaches You
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Qin Yi arrived at Brocade Embroidery Workshop, Cheng Cheng was practicing her cultivation.
The little foxes at Brocade Embroidery Workshop didn't stop Qin Yi. Compared to the Battle Fox guarding the outer ley lines, the people at Brocade Embroidery Workshop were all palace maids, serving others, and much more shrewd and perceptive. Their attitude towards Qin Yi was much better; they were all smiling, secretly knowing they couldn't afford to offend him recklessly—who knows, he might just be the Lord of the Harem ...
Those Battle Fox are utterly stupid. They're cursing others now, asking why they don't just die. What if they become your Queen someday...?
If things go wrong, I might even have to serve the emperor in bed... hehe.
"Where does your king practice his cultivation?"
"It's in her boudoir," the little fox said with a grin. "Should we inform the King, or Young Master?"
This kind of cultivation, which has just begun, is naturally not at the stage where one can go into seclusion for an unknown period of time, nor does it require high-level sacred mountains and treasure lands or the assistance of medicines.
All that's needed is a relatively quiet environment, and it can be interrupted at any time if something comes up. When Qin Yi first entered the sect, he simply sat cross-legged in a Guest Courtyard room in the Crown Prince Residence's residence, and that was it—not even a guard...
Qin Yi pushed open the door and entered. Cheng Cheng sat cross-legged on the floor and slowly opened her eyes.
"Did you come to visit me or to disturb me?" Cheng Cheng scolded, "How can you trespass on someone's cultivation ground like this?"
Qin Yi walked over and sat down beside her. He then lay back, resting his arms behind his head, and said leisurely, "It's really strange. A demon king in human form should have exceptional talent. You've been cultivating for several days now, how come you haven't even entered the gate? You can't even get past Feng Chu?"
Cheng Cheng said, "My knowledge is limited to the Demon Cultivator level. Human cultivation is a completely different system; how could I possibly understand it all in a short time?"
Qin Yi smiled and asked, "Want me to teach you?"
Cheng Cheng blinked, turned to look at Qin Yi lying casually, and asked curiously, "Why are you acting so strangely today... You used to be very respectful to me. But today you're acting like a lecher, even lying down on mine without a care. —Could it be that the Demon Power is affecting you here?"
"Maybe a little? I feel like my mind is a bit wilder, less restrained." Qin Yi replied casually, "But that's not the key point. It's that someone's attitude in the comments annoyed me, and I wanted to bully her."
Cheng Cheng chuckled, her eyes once again sparkling with allure. "Come and bully me, my demon form is currently not engaged in battle."
Qin Yi then reached out and pulled Cheng Cheng close. With a slight pull, Cheng Cheng obediently nestled into him, leaning against his shoulder. He even adjusted her position to make her more comfortable, then wrapped his arms around her, lying there with a grin.
"How wonderful... if you had stopped pretending sooner, we would have done it already." Cheng Cheng traced circles on his chest with her hand, saying in a seductive voice, "It's just that you're too greedy."
"Same to you." Qin Yi finally admitted his greed. "I'm greedy for both bodies, while you're preserving the possibility of your original body merging with other demons. Whether you intend for your human form to follow me, or want to take me into your harem as Imperial Concubine... it's all for this reason. Right?"
Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, everyone is trying to have the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, your best of both worlds is different from mine. But Qin Yi, at least for now, I have the right to be greedy, while you don't seem to."
"You think I need Huiyang to have any chance of talking to you as an equal..." Qin Yi gently stroked her limbs and whispered in her ear, "Anyway, I don't have Huiyang, so don't beg me."
Cheng Cheng's vision blurred from his closeness, her breathing became rapid, and her mind was somewhat muddled. She didn't realize what Qin Yi was referring to, thinking it was a problem she encountered in her cultivation. So she said in a seductive voice, "There are indeed some things I don't understand in my cultivation; please teach me, Young Master..."
This was just for fun. Cheng Cheng really didn't think she had anything else to ask of him, so she decided to satisfy him with this little bit of fun.
Qin Yi rolled over and lay face down. "In that case, come and give Master a shoulder massage."
Cheng Cheng's eyes darted around, and she leaned against his back, gently wriggling. "Is it massaged here? I heard that using some oil makes it even more effective..."
Qin Yi's attempt to flirt backfired spectacularly, leaving him visibly embarrassed and his face turning a deep purple. The sensation on his back was incredibly pleasurable, and he couldn't even make a sound to stop it. After a long while, he finally muttered, both helpless and ashamed, "Vixen."
"I am a fox spirit," Cheng Cheng whispered in her ear. "If you enter my palace, there will be many, many more fox spirits..."
Qin Yi finally couldn't hold back any longer and rolled over, crawling out from the side. This vixen was too dangerous; if he kept lying there, he'd probably break if he didn't dig a hole... Ye Ling's digging was definitely a good idea!
Cheng Cheng lay half-reclined to one side, chuckling. She found teasing Qin Yi increasingly amusing. He was too afraid to actually do anything, yet he was stubborn and held back, which was quite amusing.
Actually... if you disregard the political implications, their relationship was just an emotional game of seeing who would surrender first.
Who is whose Imperial Concubine, and who holds the initiative—that's essentially what it's all about.
How is he supposed to outmaneuver the vixen?
Cheng Cheng slightly lifted her clothes, revealing a corner of her bodice. "I noticed that Young Master like collecting these things, young master. I have some here too, would Young Master like some?"
Qin Yi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Since you've given me a massage, I'll teach you cultivation. Recite your Method Formula, and I'll teach you."
"Okay." Cheng Cheng snuggled up to him and recited the Method Formula, her hands also trying to lift his chin. She really thought Qin Yi was handsome, and his stubborn, pretentious look was even more handsome.
Her Method Formula is indeed a very high-level Method Formula, judging from its appearance, it is some Ancient Cultivation Methods left behind in the rift valley. Its level may not be better than what Liusu taught, but it is indeed very high-level. The key is that it meets her requirement of being able to cultivate while idling. However, if she cultivates while idling, the progress may be relatively slow.
Qin Yi's cultivation knowledge is now quite advanced, and he quickly grasped the Method Formula. He then smiled and said, "Sit down properly. Your meditation posture wasn't quite right when you came in."
He actually taught me martial arts?
Cheng Cheng felt very confused; the atmosphere was clearly off... but she went along with him and sat cross-legged.
Qin Yi then circled around from behind, reaching out to take her hands, which were resting on her knees, and gently smoothed them apart, straightening each finger one by one. Next, he tried to pry open the soles of her feet. Chengcheng Cheng Cheng flinched, but Qin Yi grabbed her foot and whispered in her ear, "Five Hearts Facing the Sky, it's like this..."
Cheng Cheng's breathing gradually quickened, and her cheeks became flushed.
Deep down, she knew why Qin Yi was doing this. Who was flirting with whom, who was conquering whom—they were clearly on the same wavelength, each vying for the initiative.
However, Qin Yi was indeed different today. The wild remnants of the Demon Power he released definitely had an impact on him. He used to have a gentlemanly face and certainly wouldn't have been so charming.
Qin Yi positioned her feet, then reached up and gradually found her lower abdomen. "Here, gather your strength, align your Dantian, shin, and crown of the head with a straight line, perpendicular to heaven and earth..."
As he spoke, his finger slowly traced the path from the places he had mentioned.
Cheng Cheng trembled all over, staring wide-eyed without saying a word.
Far away at the entrance of a cave, the Demon Form Cheng Cheng was cursing. "You claim to be experts in enchantments, but is this all you've got? This cave isn't some ancient remnant; it's the cave of an elder from after the Demon Calamity. You can't even break through this relatively recent technique, what use are you?!"
A group of monsters were scolded and made to meekly agree, while Ye Ling sat in the corner eating melon seeds without any regard for her image.
Just as Cheng Cheng was about to unleash her fury, she suddenly trembled, her pretty face flushed crimson, and even her voice trembled. "I... I'll spare you for now... Go... go to the Demon City to post the notice... Dismissed!"
