Dual Cultivation God Returns

In the evening, as everyone was making the mansion their new home, Wu Long visited Luo Mingyu to let her experience more of his Weapon Intent for her comprehension of the Dao Intent.

It was, at this point, a regular session the two would have, but they were a bit more solemn than usual because she was nearing a bottleneck and thus breakthrough. There were also no others present this time for the same reason. No words were exchanged as their entire concentration was put into this effort.

At one point, Luo Mingyu's pupils shrank as she narrowed, and then closed her eyes, a very light, almost invisible, purple glow of Spiritual Qi enveloping her body as she sat in place with a calm expression.

Seeing this Wu Long's eyes shined, he stood up producing no sound or movement of the air, resembling a ghost, and then slowly and gradually shut down his presence, completely dissipating from existence. The only trace left of him was his visual form which then moved to turn and leave, creating a rather eerie sight since his figure looked out of place, with no presence in the room, not unlike a hallucination.

As he left a talisman on the floor where he previously sat, he then sent a few to the walls of the room, floor and ceiling, and then disappeared, leaving only Luo Mingyu who sat with her eyes closed on the sitting mat in the middle, oblivious to the world around her.

'Hmm, we have to wait and see if this will be a success or failure'

Wu Long went through the corridors of the mansion after thoroughly sealing the room Luo Mingyu was in so that nothing disturbs her.

As he approached his new room, he felt a presence inside and the corners of his lips turned up as he remembered Ye Ling's words about him being preoccupied this night.

He slid the doors to the side and stopped, taking in the view as Hua Ziyan stood there near a table, her hands on both sides holding the edge as she faced him in the doorway. She wore a pure white dress, one he bought for her to wear only in private.

The luxurious, incredibly thin, light and soft fabric easily showed the shape of her body, and the perfect fit to her figure made it that more alluring. The dress had two vertical slits on the sides that started almost at the waist, dividing the lower part of the long dress into a front and back part, the front part slightly narrowing down. And as her right hip was raised with her body in a sensual curve, the supple and smooth fair skin of her buttock and thigh could be seen through the side slit.

At the upper part the dress only covered the two round and plump breasts as one slightly wide piece of fabric that did not fully envelop the sides of her chest, exposing the absence of any upper lingerie, went up to become a thin elegant collar around her neck, leaving her shoulders and arms bare, and he could see that it was open behind her, exposing everything all the way to her lower back, just above the appetizing butt.

Her long and dark brown hair were all collected on one side with a slightly raised volume, falling in a thick straight line down the front and creating a contrast with the white fabric.

The ear that was exposed on the other side as a result of this hairstyle had quite a massive expensive-looking white gold earring with black stones, its counterpart hidden by her hair on the other side, and there was a massive necklace of the same jewelry set going in a line down her chest.

The legs that peeked from her dress through the slit on the side and below where the dress ended were wearing a black semi-transparent stocking with a thick lace top and black non-transparent lacy net going through the entire fabric down to where her legs were strapped into black high-heels.

'Perfection'

A thought went through his mind as he saw her, no doubt spending a lot of time preparing just for this moment he saw her, as she had to know this look would not last very long after they met in this room.

Her lips of her natural coral-pink-ish color curled up in a rather bashful smile as her brown eyes brimmed with joy at the sight of his reaction.

He stepped inside the room, not hastily, enjoying this sight as he closed the sliding doors he still held since opening them, moving his hands but never moving away his eyes off of her as the doors quietly slid shut behind him, the wood meeting wood with a soft noise at the end.

He did not bring his arms back forward, locking them behind his back as he slowly stepped forward, one step after another closer to this beauty, in a pose that showed how disarmed he was by this enchanting sight.

"I seem to have done something special, which sadly is not the case"

Wu Long chuckled as he approached within two steps of her.

"You don't need to do anything special"

"I do, my lovely Ziyan. That is something a man does for his woman"

He wryly smiled.

"But you did, the hand lotion you brought me showed me you were thinking about me"

"Only that? Haha, you seem to still underestimate how precious you are"

He chuckled as what she referred to was something he had Yu Huan make while he was still in the sect, since Hua Ziyan's palm and fist techniques could be harsh on the hand skin. It was just a small gift, and something he did not consider a big gesture. The fact she took such a small thought as something special made him realize how little she still thought of herself.

No matter how he pampered her, she seemed to be unable to rid herself of this mindset that she had to still earn her place beside him.

"But... I... I am a little sad about something, which is what I wanted to tell you tonight"

She then showed a reluctant expression as her voice became full of hesitation.

"Go on"

A feeling of anticipation appeared in Wu Long since this was the first time she was about to tell him something about her negative feelings. He almost held his breath since as long as she held back part of her feelings out of consideration, there would always be a distance between them.

"T-the..."

She stuttered and resumed silence for a few moments, as he stood without saying a word, his eyes gently urging her to continue, and at the same time soothing her worry.

"The... Backdoor to Heaven"

As she spoke the name of the technique he slightly raised his right eyebrow while her cheeks became slightly rosy.

"I... I know it was important for Sister Luxiao, as she was not able to give you her first time, so... it was symbolic... um...this is very petty and selfish and I shouldn't even think about it, but... but... I wanted to be first to... I... it was a surprise... but..."

Words started pouring in sporadic fashion as she seemingly was still trying to put a stop to them but like a flood that could not be contained, her thoughts, bearing full force of uncontrollable emotions tore through the barricades her mind was setting up. Small tears of child-like feeling of being wronged appeared on the corners of her eyes.

Feng Yi was not the only one who heeded Ye Ling's advice of being vulnerable to him, as Hua Ziyan decided to show her inner thoughts to him as well, despite her fear of him thinking they were ugly and dirty thoughts of a petty woman.

Wu Long's eyes widened and then shone with understanding as he closed the gap between them in one quick step and his arms locked her in his embrace. He could finally understand why he felt Shen Min, who was protective of her friends as well, point a rather sharp gaze at Sui Luxiao and Wu Mengqi on the other side of the formation during the meeting.

"Ziyan, I am very grateful and proud of you for giving away something you wanted to help Luxiao. And it is nothing shameful about being upset over. Since, while it was a very kind and even noble act, it does not change that you gave away something you wanted.

I know you have been considerate of others and always thought of ways for everyone to be happy, but it is okay to be selfish sometimes..."

Wu Long softly spoke until he caught himself mirroring Ye Ling's earlier words, inwardly chuckling at the irony of being able to give this advice to Hua Ziyan even if the conversation with Ye Ling in front of the store never happened, but never applying it to himself, only noticing it after they spoke.

She looked up at him, not reaching his full height even with high-heels on, her slightly reddened eyes full of guilt over being upset with such a small thing.

"For someone who usually haven't shown any desires, this seemingly small thing you wanted, even if it was still for me, but is already a big deal. Of course it is alright to be upset. I hope your wishes become even more grand, but I don't mean to demean the ones you have now"

He softly whispered in her left ear that was exposed, as her heart raced and her blush intensified.

"But still... it is stupid"

"Thank you for sharing your feelings with me, Ziyan. This makes me very happy"

As she was still muttering about how petty her reasons for being upset was he slightly tightened his hug, cuddling her in his embrace as he expressed his genuine happiness. For him her reasons were not petty at all simply because of who she was, and how she thought. His mind was stirring with joy at the progress of her having some selfish desires, albeit still small and that entailed pleasing him, but nevertheless desires of her own that she cherished enough to be upset over.

As she heard the word 'happy' from him, her eyes went up to his face again in surprise, and seeing genuine joy in the eyes that reflected her, a bright smile turned her beautiful face into that of a goddess.

"Hehe"

The slight chuckle that followed was like a music to his ears as he lowered his head to link their lips in a soft, sweet kiss.Follow current novelenglish.net . s on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
