Chapter 46: Like a Married Couple (Part 1/2)
However, Yun Luo's gaze only lingered for a moment before her hand cupped the back of his head, applying slight pressure. Their foreheads pressed tightly together.
"Relax. Let my soul enter your sea of consciousness."
Pei Yanqing's tensed body slowly loosened. Yun Luo closed her eyes, allowing her soul to probe.
The instant Yun Luo entered, she felt only one word:
Stillness.
She had seen many seas of consciousness, whether they were as small as a pond or as vast as rivers and oceans, they all had ripples.
But Pei Yanqing's sea of consciousness was like stagnant water, like a mirror, calm and waveless.
She wondered what realm his Dao Heart had reached in its firmness.
Clearly, she felt he was different towards her.
Or was it just his upbringing that made him feel responsible for her?
Unfortunately, Yun Luo didn't have time to ponder.
At this moment, she saw Pei Yanqing's soul and, with a slight movement of her will, moved closer.
The two souls intertwined like branches of a married tree, shaped like yin and yang fish.
Yun Luo began to circulate the Hehuan Sect's advanced soul-union cultivation technique—Lingxi Tongxin Jue.
This technique could accelerate soul fusion and share the five senses.
What you see, I see; what I feel, you feel—this is "Lingxi."
Yun Luo guided Pei Yanqing's soul. The moment the cultivation method circulated, the spiritual energy from the spirit spring water began to rush into their bodies.
Their body temperatures soared rapidly. A light sheen of sweat appeared on Yun Luo's forehead.
Simultaneously, her soul and body also felt a peculiar sensation.
It was like sitting on an electric massage chair, but the massage chair was also leaking electricity.
In short, it was a very strange feeling, so comfortable that her soul could barely withstand it.
Yun Luo gritted her teeth to prevent herself from withdrawing her soul.
This was her first time merging souls with a person of the opposite sex, and she hadn't realized the feeling would be so different.
When circulating the Sunü Heart Sutra with Su Xanyu and the others, there was no other sensation besides the comprehension of cultivation changes.
Pei Yanqing's experience was no better than hers.
His soul felt like it was in a gentle embrace, with countless soft hands caressing it, making him wish to sink into it forever and never wake up.
Under such stimulation, the growth of his cultivation completely failed to capture his attention.
One day and one night later.
Lingxi Tongxin Jue had circulated three times within their bodies.
Only when their bodies and souls reached their limits did the spiritual energy surrounding the hot spring gradually dissipate.
The spiritual energy in the spirit spring water was completely depleted, and it had long since turned into ordinary spring water.
The spring water was icy cold, yet Yun Luo's body temperature remained high.
The skin exposed to the air was wet with sweat, showing an abnormal redness.
Pei Yanqing was no better off.
His soul had not yet emerged from the lingering sensations. He leaned against the pond wall, eyes closed, letting Yun Luo lie in his arms. His arm unconsciously wrapped around her waist.
A drop of sweat slid from his forehead, tracing his sharp brow bone before falling into the pool.
The two of them in this state looked like a married couple.
Yun Luo's throat was dry, and a fire seemed to burn within her.
The aftereffects of soul union were even more potent than an aphrodisiac.
She opened her eyes. Pei Yanqing, who was already stunningly beautiful, now seemed to be covered by a filter, exuding an alluring fragrance and looking delectable.
Deep mountains, a lonely man and woman—beauty emboldens a person.
Yun Luo climbed onto his lap, holding his shoulders. Then, following his long, sexy neck, she kissed her way to his lips.
Pei Yanqing might have also been dazed by the sensation of soul fusion.
At this moment, he couldn't distinguish between his soul and his body.
Therefore, he tacitly accepted Yun Luo's actions. When her hands grew bolder, he even inserted his fingers into the hair at the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
The water in the pool splashed noisily as their bodies shifted.
The cold pond wall behind them, the fiery bodies in front—the extreme sensation of ice and fire pulled at Yun Luo's nerves.
Chapter 46: Like a Married Couple (Part 2/2)
It made her feel like a drowning person, desperately clinging to the only piece of driftwood.
During morning practice, Qin Mushuang arrived at the Trial Platform on time.
She was a little surprised to see only Chu Li there.
"Has Little Junior Sister not arrived yet?"
Usually, Yun Luo was the first one to arrive for morning practice.
Chu Li yawned.
"No, she might be delayed. Let's wait a bit longer."
Qin Mushuang thought the same. After sending Yun Luo a message on the Jade Slip, she began to practice her swordplay.
Chu Li, meanwhile, took out the Tai Xu Yin Xing and started drawing talismans, expanding her Sea of Consciousness through repeated training.
Morning practice with only two people was rather quiet.
It was especially unaccustomed without Su Xanyu's boisterous presence.
It was a pity that Master was in seclusion to repair the Chengying Sword and had called Su Xanyu to observe, so she wouldn't be out for another month.
It wasn't until the sky turned a fish-belly white that Qin Mushuang noticed Yun Luo still hadn't arrived, nor was there any message on the Jade Slip. She gradually stopped her movements.
She felt a little worried.
"Let's go check on her. I hope nothing happened."
Chu Li thought the same and immediately put down her brush to leave the Trial Platform with her.
Upon arriving at Yun Luo's small courtyard, the two knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, there was no response.
They had no choice but to push the door open and go inside. Yun Luo's shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Worry creased Qin Mushuang's brow. She brought her fingers together and summoned her Spirit Sword.
"I'll go ask at the Mountain Gate. You search Lingxi Peak. If she's not there, then ask around at the other peaks."
"Okay."
The two split up. Qin Mushuang quickly arrived at the Mountain Gate.
Seeing the disciple on duty, she stepped forward to inquire.
"Did you see Yun Luo leave the sect today?"
The disciple on duty shook his head. "No. Could she have left earlier? I heard Senior Sister Yun was resting a few days ago and frequently went in and out of the Mountain Gate. But it wasn't me on duty the past two days, so I'm not too sure. I'll ask around for Senior Sister Qin."
Qin Mushuang nodded. The disciple immediately took out his Jade Slip and began making inquiries.
Before long, she got an answer.
"Senior Sister Qin, I've found out. Senior Sister Yun left with Pei Yanqing of the Qinglian Sword Sect at dusk the day before yesterday. The disciples patrolling outside the mountain said Senior Sister Yun took people to a temporary Cave Abode they opened up on an Immortal Mountain about a hundred li outside the sect. She hasn't been seen since."
Pei Yanqing?
Qin Mushuang felt a bit more at ease.
On the territory of the Hehuan Sect, she wouldn't be abducted.
"I understand. Thank you."
She turned and returned to Lingxi Peak. As soon as she landed, she saw Chu Li, who was preparing to go to Jade Dew Peak to look for Yun Luo.
Qin Mushuang called out to her.
"Second Junior Sister, no need to search anymore. Little Junior Sister went out with Pei Yanqing."
"That brat! Didn't even say a word," Chu Li said, a little annoyed.
Qin Mushuang was also a bit angry.
In her eyes, Yun Luo was like a little sister at home. Leaving without a word and not returning for the night was truly worrying.
When she gets back, she'll get her butt spanked.
Inside the Cave Abode.
Yun Luo had fallen asleep at some point.
When she woke up, she was lying on an animal hide, with a black outer robe draped over her.
She recalled the scene before she fell asleep and squirmed, rolling twice.
She was too embarrassed. She had gotten so carried away that she forgot to circulate her cultivation technique.
She was solely focused on seeking pleasure.
She got up, holding her waist, and muttered under her breath.
"Pei Yanqing's waist is really something."
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere around her changed subtly.
She keenly looked up and saw Pei Yanqing sitting by the cave entrance, impeccably dressed. He was looking at her with a complicated expression.
