Two Women

The next day, Ling Yu felt somewhat suffocated. The moment he woke up, he sensed someone beside him, and their posture was exceedingly indecent.

He stared blankly at his current position. His cheek was pressed tightly between the other person's breasts, while his hands were neither here nor there. This...

He looked at the woman lying on the bed beside him, black lines appearing across his forehead.

This woman... was beyond saving!

Though he was furious inside, he had done something improper after all. He carefully picked up the brand-new white martial outfit from the bed and slipped out of the room as quietly as possible.

What he did not notice was that the instant he stepped outside, the woman on the bed abruptly opened her eyes. She began gasping heavily, a deep blush spreading across her face. Her gaze was hazy, as though she were drunk.

"Now you can't get rid of me!"

Bibi Dong once again muttered something inexplicable, letting out soft snickers. Her perfect body kicked restlessly on the bed like a young girl experiencing her first stirrings of love.

Ling Yu arrived halfway up the mountain and sat cross-legged atop a huge boulder. Looking at his hands, he kept reliving the sensation from earlier in his mind. Though there had been a layer of clothing between them, that astonishing feeling was simply unbelievable!

He swallowed dryly, then lowered his head to glance beneath himself and let out a deep sigh.

"Stop thinking about it. Time to cultivate!"

With his five centers facing the sky, Ling Yu began his daily cultivation.

Yet the moment he entered meditation, the sensation from his body startled him greatly.

"Th-this is way too fast!" Ling Yu exclaimed.

He could hardly help reacting this way. After yesterday's baptism, his body had completely transformed into an Immaculate Body. Beyond that was the physique only attainable at the Marrow Cleansing realm, the seventh realm of cultivation—the Spirit Body!

The Immaculate Body had made his physique pure and flawless, exceptionally close to the energies of heaven and earth. His body was constantly absorbing the energy around it, and coupled with the violet qi mixed into the first ray of sunlight in the morning, his cultivation speed under the tenfold boost had become utterly outrageous.

Just through his breathing and circulation, a small energy vortex had formed around him. Countless strands of Soul Power floated and swirled around his body.

However, although his absorption speed was incredibly fast, the growth of his strength was not especially noticeable—at most, it was about the same as before.

Ling Yu looked at his body in confusion, continuously using his Spiritual Power to sense where the problem lay.

Several minutes later, a trace of realization appeared in his eyes.

Energy also contained impurities. In the past, he had absorbed everything into his body regardless of what it was, allowing a great deal of impurities to accumulate within him. But yesterday's lightning strikes and tempering had completely expelled those impurities.

Ling Yu remembered seeing knowledge on this subject in the archives of Spirit Hall. It was actually easy for Soul Masters to remove such impurities: they only needed to cultivate above the Soul Sage level. Once they possessed their own Martial Soul Avatar, their bodies would automatically expel impurities under the Martial Soul's influence, which was equivalent to Marrow Cleansing in another form!

Ling Yu wore an expression of sudden understanding. "No wonder that woman Bibi Dong has such good skin. So that's why!"

Although he was now absorbing Soul Power at a tremendous rate, his body had also become extremely selective. It automatically filtered out the impurities in the Soul Power, retaining only the most refined essence, which then had to be compressed by the scales on his chest. It seemed there were gains and losses!

The energy within his body was purer, which would greatly benefit his future development. Furthermore, it could continuously cleanse his body with incomparably pure energy, making his flesh even stronger.

An hour later, Ling Yu finished cultivating and rose to his feet. Just as he turned around to head to the training room and activate gravity mode, a silver figure was already standing behind him.

"Gu Yuena?"

Ling Yu looked at the little girl with mild surprise. She had changed into an exquisitely crafted silver dress, and a faint smile rested on her flawless, adorable face. She wore a pair of purple leather boots, while her amethyst-like eyes stared intently at him.

"Call me Na'er!"

Ling Yu looked at the little girl's soft expression, tilting his head in confusion.

"From now on, just call me Na'er. I'll call you Little Yu Gege!"

Gu Yuena stretched out her small hand and clenched it into a fist, looking very nervous. "Is that not okay?"

Seeing her like this, Ling Yu shook his head with a smile. "Of course it is. Then I'll call you Na'er from now on. As for what you call me, call me whatever you like!"

"I'm going to cultivate now. What about you? I remember you haven't awakened your Martial Soul yet, right?"

Gu Yuena revealed a delighted smile and hurriedly nodded at his question.

"Yesterday, Elder Yue Guan arranged for me to stay in the house next to Sister Hu Liena's. He said that in a couple of days, a deacon from Spirit Hall would help me awaken my Martial Soul!"

Ling Yu nodded, offered another greeting, and prepared to head for the training room. But when he turned around, he discovered that this little girl was following closely behind him like a tail, her hands clutching the corner of her skirt as she looked somewhat shy.

"What is it?" Ling Yu asked in confusion. "Is there something else?"

He had to admit that having such a beautiful young girl follow behind him did give him quite a sense of accomplishment, but he would not forget his goal. Becoming stronger was his top priority now.

"Um, I want to stay by your side and be with you!"

The little girl looked extremely embarrassed. Just speaking those words seemed to have used up most of her courage.

"If you want to come along, then come. But remember, don't step into the center of the room. Otherwise, the gravity inside will hurt you badly!"

Ling Yu casually gave her these instructions before turning and walking into the training room.

Gu Yuena nodded repeatedly and followed close behind him, her eyes fixed tightly on Ling Yu's back.

The girl looked exceptionally innocent, her gaze clear, as though she had simply been drawn to Ling Yu's aura.

Ling Yu watched Gu Yuena stand in the corner of the training room, a helpless look in his eyes. He walked out the door and, to her surprised gaze, brought over a sofa from the hall nearby. He placed it beside the girl, pressed her delicate shoulders, and had her sit down on it.

He then took out a plate of Armor-piercing Rhinoceros meat that Xie Yue had hunted and he had cooked himself, along with two glasses of fruit juice, placing them beside her before walking toward the center of the training room.

Forming hand seals with both hands, four Shadow Clones appeared at his side. Under Gu Yuena's astonished gaze, Ling Yu assigned each of the four Shadow Clones their respective tasks, while he himself continuously practiced his punches under gravity mode.

Rumbling sounds rang out within the training room as Gu Yuena watched the youth before her, her eyes sparkling.

"Little Yu Gege is so gentle!"

She murmured softly, eating roasted meat while staring unblinkingly at the five Little Yu Gege as they each carried out their respective training in the room.
