Applying Medicine

The next day.

Yu Yuan woke up in the portable soul tool tent.

At that moment, he was immensely grateful to his past self for working so hard to learn about soul tools.

Otherwise, the first time in both his lives would have actually been spent in the wilderness.

Come to think of it, he could have completely avoided Dugu Yan's attack yesterday through time reversal.

But he had not done so.

And the cocktail mixed with Autumn Dew of Insight had contained almost no alcohol.

So had I really been suppressing myself for too long?

Yu Yuan was accustomed to placing the blame on himself.

Although Dugu Yan had taken the initiative at first last night,

he had responded to her afterward.

So it should have been mutual affection, which meant he needed to take responsibility.

Fortunately, he had not completely lost his reason last night and had temporarily used soul power as a condom.

Glancing at Dugu Yan, who was still unconscious,

Yu Yuan silently began tidying up. Once he was done cleaning,

he stepped out of the tent to prepare breakfast for her. Dugu Yan had exhausted herself to the point of passing out last night, so she needed something nourishing.

"Come to think of it, shouldn't something like that take a lot out of you?"

Yu Yuan was a little puzzled.

After all, he had had hidden folders on his computer in his previous life too, and he knew this sort of thing should be quite physically demanding.

But why did he feel more refreshed than ever before?

Could it be the effect of the Autumn Dew of Insight?

This was not a joke or an illusion.

Yu Yuan truly felt that he was in unexpectedly good condition.

Even his soul power had broken through by two levels.

"At a time like this, I should ask the miraculous Temporal Saint Dragon."

Yesterday, just as he had been about to shield Xiao Kong from the outside world, he discovered that Xiao Kong had already shielded himself.

His thoughtfulness had moved Yu Yuan a little.

As Yu Yuan repeatedly called out to him with his spiritual power,

Xiao Kong only restored communication after repeatedly confirming that it was over.

"Hmm? That's not right, my lord. Based on my detailed examination of your physical data, it shouldn't have ended already at this point."

By his estimates, Yu Yuan, who possessed multiple dragon bloodlines, should have been able to keep going for at least seven days and seven nights without rest in the face of cultivation resonance.

Why had it ended after just one night?

Thus, risking the grave offense of disrespecting his lord, he chose to ask.

After hearing the question, Yu Yuan's mouth twitched.

"No, do you fucking take me for an animal? I can't just think about myself. I have to consider her too, all right?"

In truth, he had still lost control a little last night.

Otherwise, he would not have been the only one awake now.

Yu Yuan felt deeply ashamed of this.

"So why did I break through again? The Autumn Dew of Insight should mainly affect spiritual power."

"Oh, you don't understand this. Look at this place—ice and fire in harmony. And what did you do? That was the blending of yin and yang. If you didn't break through, who would?"

"Are you sure those are the reasons?"

Yu Yuan quickly saw that Xiao Kong was spouting nonsense.

"Of course. The main reason was still the dragon bloodline in your body taking effect."

"I see."

As everyone knew, dragons were the proof of an emperor.

Just kidding.

The main reason was that the dragon bloodline within Yu Yuan had resonated with Dugu Yan's newly evolved Jade Scaled Dragon martial soul.

It was similar to how Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in the second part relied on martial soul fusion to accelerate their cultivation.

It was just that Yu Yuan and Dugu Yan's martial souls were not as compatible.

So it only took effect when the two of them merged with each other.

"So that means there's another cultivation method?"

"Huh? My lord, that's what you're concerned about?"

Xiao Kong was dumbfounded.

"What else would I be concerned about? All right, the food's ready."

Yu Yuan carried breakfast into the tent.

Xiao Kong, having shielded himself from the outside world once more, fell into deep thought.

Could his lord be the faithful-love type?

That would not do!

For the great revival of the dragon race, how could his lord have only one mistress?

In fact, there was no need for him to worry at all.

Because Dugu Yan was already considering whether to pull her best friend Ye Lingling into this.

Dugu Yan had awakened ten minutes earlier.

After a brief reboot of her brain, she finally remembered what had happened.

I... actually did it?

Wasn't that a little too fast?

No, no, no. He was clearly the one who took the initiative afterward.

This is super bad.

I took the initiative to provoke him, yet I ended up begging for mercy.

I can't maintain my status as the older sister anymore!

As her mind gradually came back online, Dugu Yan's memories of last night became increasingly clear.

Ah, don't remember it anymore!

Dugu Yan buried her flushed face directly into the pillow.

Unfortunately, when she smelled Yu Yuan's scent on it, her face only grew redder.

Was he not satisfied last night?

Because Dugu Yan vaguely remembered that she had not lasted until the end.

Come to think of it, where is Yu Yuan?

Did he eat me clean and then run off without taking responsibility?

Just as Dugu Yan's thoughts ran wild, Yu Yuan walked in carrying breakfast.

"Yan-jie, wake up. Hmm? You're already awake."

"Yu Yuan!"

Dugu Yan had just been about to rise and hug him when she discovered that her body was still weak after a night of exertion, and she collapsed back onto the bed.

"Be careful. I told you not to be so intense last night, but you wouldn't listen."

Yu Yuan set the food aside and helped Dugu Yan sit up.

"Hmph. Are you sure I was the one being too intense?"

"Ahem. All right, I'll feed you. After you finish, I'll apply some medicine for you."

Yu Yuan stopped arguing and picked up the food to feed her.

"Apply, apply medicine!"

Dugu Yan was far too embarrassed to let Yu Yuan apply medicine down there.

"Um, I'll do it myself."

"Can you even move? Don't worry, I won't do anything. I'm just applying medicine."

Yu Yuan was certain that last night had only been an accident. He could control himself perfectly well.

Although Yu Yuan's expression remained calm, having him feed her personally and speak to her with such concern still let Dugu Yan feel his affection.

So she could only obediently eat while agreeing to his arrangement.

"All right, I'll leave it to you."

By the pool, Yu Yuan calmed himself down.

He had underestimated his virgin self.

But in the end, he had still restrained himself through sheer willpower.

It was just that Dugu Yan could not bear to see him suffer.

In the end, she had chosen to help him out.

Well, although it had evolved into a dragon tail, it had not lost any of a snake tail's flexibility.

Sigh, as the common lord of soul beasts, he had actually become addicted to wine and women.

From today onward, he would quit drinking.

He had no idea where he would find more Autumn Dew of Insight to mix cocktails for him.

Looking at the already harvested Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot,

the Earth Dragon Golden Melon had improved his soul power and physical constitution while also strengthening his bloodline.

The Autumn Dew of Insight had filled in the gap in his spiritual power.

Of the immortal herbs he could absorb and use in the near future, he estimated that only two remained.

In order to obtain the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings,

the final two immortal herbs were clearly the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

As for the cooking method...

An ice-and-fire mandarin duck hotpot.
