"Drawbacks?"
Fang Yi looked embarrassed. "Because this involves contact between our Mental Energy, it could very well have an effect similar to spiritual intercourse."
He wasn't making it up.
After all, this was a secret method from the Supreme Heart Demon Scripture. Even the Ancient Heavenly Emperor had an irrigation method.
The Heart Demon Thunder Emperor naturally had a similar ability.
Ying Xiaoxiao's pretty face reddened with embarrassment at Fang Yi's words, but she thought about what would happen if things continued like this.
The distance between her and Ying Huanhuan and Fang Yi would grow greater and greater.
She wasn't afraid that Fang Yi and Ying Huanhuan would abandon her. She was just worried that when the calamity arrived,
she, as the older sister, would only be able to wait for Fang Yi and Ying Huanhuan to protect her.
And as for spiritual intercourse,
she would never have agreed if it were anyone else, but this was Fang Yi.
If it was Fang Yi, then it didn't really matter.
"How is that a drawback? But this won't hurt you, will it?"
That was what worried Ying Xiaoxiao.
When she had cultivated the Second Origin Art before, she had needed Fang Yi's blood to suppress the impact of the Battle Soul Sarira.
Fang Yi moved closer to Ying Xiaoxiao. Catching the fragrance drifting from her, he brushed aside the strands of hair the wind had blown across her cheek. Her pretty face immediately flushed.
Compared to the outgoing Ying Huanhuan, she was more reserved in expressing her feelings.
For one thing, she was older, and her personality wasn't as lively as Ying Huanhuan's.
His sudden closeness and the masculine scent she sensed from him left her a little unsettled. Then she heard Fang Yi say, "Let's try it first."
"Look up!"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Ying Xiaoxiao lifted her head instinctively.
Her gaze met a pair of eyes, and she felt as though something had invaded her mind.
But she quickly forced down the resistance and wariness rising within her.
She kept telling herself, This is Fang Yi, not someone else!
Suddenly, a strange pleasure flowed through her heart, accompanied by a steady stream of insights into the mysteries of the Immortal Heaven and Earth Scripture.
But that feeling
left Ying Xiaoxiao weak all over, barely able to stand. She stumbled instinctively and fell into a familiar embrace.
Feeling the scorching, delicate body in his arms, Fang Yi felt helpless.
This was why he had never used this excellent method.
At its core, this was a martial art the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor used to help his women improve their cultivation. Spiritual intercourse was no simple matter.
The sensation brought about by this intimate contact between spiritual bodies was even more intense than physical contact.
Ying Xiaoxiao had never been close to a man before.
In the Dao Sect, her personality was rather aloof. As a result, even though she looked like Ying Huanhuan and was just as tall and slender, she wasn't nearly as popular.
So when people spoke of Ying Xiaoxiao, they felt more respect for her, rather than the affection Ying Huanhuan inspired.
That made Fang Yi one of the two men closest to her.
As for the other, it was naturally the old codger Ying Xuanzi.
The physical closeness just now, combined with the stimulation caused by spiritual intercourse, had made Ying Xiaoxiao lose her composure in an instant.
"Keep going. I can... I can endure it..."
Ying Xiaoxiao fought to suppress her embarrassment and the strange sensations in her body.
But she could feel her understanding of the Immortal Heaven and Earth Scripture growing.
In other words, this method worked.
"Really? This is only the first contact. If we continue, your mind could easily be influenced by my Mental Energy, and you might start having certain thoughts about me..."
"Mm. If it's you, I'm willing."
For the first time, Ying Xiaoxiao met Fang Yi's eyes and openly expressed her feelings.
Because in that brief moment of contact, she had finally understood her own heart.
Or rather,
she had understood her heart all along. It was just a momentary impulse that made her feel she had to speak her feelings aloud.
"All right."
Fang Yi fell silent for a moment. Ying Xiaoxiao's restrained yet fervent love
also filled him with delight.
After all, he was a man too, and naturally possessed a possessive streak.
Besides, he had been born with knowledge, with the soul of an adult to begin with. He had long since regarded Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan as his own.
But he understood very well that, whether because of their identities or their state of mind, the two sisters weren't ready yet.
So he wasn't in a hurry.
"Don't worry. You have me too. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."
Fang Yi gently drew Ying Xiaoxiao into his arms.
Ying Xiaoxiao bore a burden that no one else in the Dao Sect had to bear, especially after Senior Sister Wang Jie had been gravely injured.
The pressure on Ying Xiaoxiao had only grown heavier.
Although he had already said that nothing would happen with him around, this was pressure Ying Xiaoxiao put on herself.
"No, I can't let you face it alone."
Leaning against Fang Yi's chest, Ying Xiaoxiao secretly bit her lower lip, her voice muffled.
"Then let's continue."
As Fang Yi's Mental Energy entered Ying Xiaoxiao's body,
she suppressed the strange feelings in her heart and the waves of pleasure while carefully sensing the profundities of the Immortal Heaven and Earth Scripture.
In the distance.
Ying Huanhuan had followed their traces here because Ying Xiaoxiao and Fang Yi had been gone for so long without returning.
She couldn't track Fang Yi's trace, but she could track her sister's.
When she arrived, she saw the two of them embrace, then sit facing each other, gazing into each other's eyes.
At the sight of their tender gazes, Ying Huanhuan secretly ground her little white teeth. "Sister actually made a move ahead of me!"
"What do you mean, made a move ahead of you? I'm helping your sister cultivate."
Just then,
a helpless voice sounded beside Ying Huanhuan's ear, giving her such a fright that she hurriedly looked around.
"Stop looking. Did you think you were being subtle? I spotted you ages ago."
"This is a martial art I've mastered, the Heart Seal Method. I can't conveniently reveal it in front of others, so I asked your sister to come out here."
"How come Sister gets it and I don't?"
"Because you've already mastered it. It isn't difficult for you."
"All right."
Ying Huanhuan thought about it, and that did seem to be true.
Forget it.
Since he was helping her sister cultivate, she didn't mind.
She could naturally sense the pressure Ying Xiaoxiao was under too.
Although she didn't think there was anything to worry about. As she saw it, if the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up.
And Fang Yi was the tall one. Of course, she would help too.
There was simply no need to put so much pressure on herself before anything had happened.
Still, since Fang Yi had a way to help her sister, she naturally wouldn't make a fuss. But she said, "Then I want a hug later too!"
"You're competing over this too?"
"I won't compete with Sister over other things, but not you."
Ying Huanhuan snorted. There was only one Fang Yi, after all.
Even if she shared him with her sister, there would still be a first and a second, one more important than the other. She was determined to be the more important one.
