Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 41: Delusions and Ambitions

She felt exhausted, but also completely and utterly satisfied.

She was lying on him, who was sitting on the armchair reclining backwards to the seat back. There was not power in her to move, think or talk. She was just resting, while he let her rest on top of him.

As she gradually regained her senses, she first sat in front of him, getting off his legs. She gathered her hair with both her hands behind her, and got up to fix her appearance, trying to not look at him at least for now that she still has not calmed down completely.

During the time he teased her continuously, she called for his name many many times in a passionate voice. She might not have cared about her dignity and pride then, but it was not like that was the case now.

Wu Long watched as she changed her tights and underwear through the door of the bathroom again before closing his eyes to cultivate.

The truth was, she knew he could see her change both times he watched her before and now through the open door to the bathroom, but there was some part of her that enjoyed his gaze while she changed and cleaned herself. Although she would then try to admonish herself, there was undeniably guilty pleasure for her in this. Of course, she was slightly unnerved and surprised the first time, even having the urge to close the door, but for some reason she did not.

Wu Long quickly reached the bottleneck of the 1st level of Qi Gathering Realm, and with such a powerful Yin Qi, it did not take him long to break through, and he even could consolidate that advancement and make very slight progress towards the 2nd level. It truly was a treasure.

As he finished, she was also freshened up and only waved her hand over the array on her table to clean up everything in the room, and handed him the spatial ring he left on the sink again. Wu Long noticed that there were newly installed arrays and formations on every piece of furniture in this office that would clean them up and smiled slightly.

Noticing his smile she slightly blushed. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

"I did not know where we would be… so I prepared for any possibility"

He only nodded as that was definitely pragmatic of her, but it did not change the fact that she was basically imagining herself releasing Yin Qi and crying out in pleasure on each piece of furniture there was. Office desk, sofas and armchairs, the low table, the scroll cabinets by the walls, the bookshelves, her office chair, anywhere in this office.

He did not push it and just shrugged it off, not making her feel unnecessarily uneasy. He did enjoy teasing beauties, but he also knew when to back off.

"It seems dual cultivators really do know much about pleasure, your techniques make me amazed at how normal touches could feel so good" she suddenly said.

"Techniques?" he asked with slight surprise, and then smiled with some amusement and a little smugness at the realization "I have not used any dual cultivation techniques on you yet"

"What?" her eyes widened at his words, as she was sure that she was feeling pleasure from seemingly normal touches, if these were not techniques, what else could it be?

"Dual cultivation is far more profound than you may think. Besides, as it is cultivation, when we are serious, we use our Spiritual Qi like other cultivators. And not to mention techniques using Spiritual Qi, your body is not yet ready for any normal technique that does not even require Spiritual Qi. What I have been using are merely normal means common mortals would use to pleasure their partners" he explained.

Her body did not feel any kind of pleasure for a long time, and given too much stimulation from the start there could be very serious negative consequences. Her psyche would also not endure such intensity.

What Wu Long did was just using pure manipulation of muscles, nerves and blood flow, applying his vast knowledge of anatomy and how the human body works, as well as precise knowledge of what exactly makes each millimeter of a body feel good. So the only thing he did was use precision and knowledge to apply pressure on various body parts to make her feel good. This was not even the tip of the iceberg of dual cultivation to him, but just the air above the iceberg.

In truth, he did not even exactly need to touch her erogenous zones, just a back massage could make her release her Yin Qi over and over again if he applied his skills, but he had his own reasons for doing it this way.

Sui Luxiao looked at him with wide eyes, still in disbelief at his revelation. It turned out that what she thought was a pinnacle of pleasure was just superficial skill. Her throat dried up a bit at the thought of what lies beyond that and she gulped with some fear. He merely chuckled at her reaction.

As she released the formations and unlocked the door, they talked a little more. This time Wu Long asked her about the reaction from the Alchemy Tower, and she sneered with a smug look, becoming the confident and competent leader of a trading company again. There was a certain charm in her haughty and powerful demeanor when she talked business.

He also casually asked her about how business was going in general, and she was a bit surprised to find that she was starved for conversations. In recent years all of her interactions were purely business related, she never had a talk with someone she was not coaxing into doing business, or someone she was not instructing on what to do in this whole time. There was pure enjoyment to just talking to him, as he listened intently and was actually interested in her and what she had to say.

Meanwhile, not far from her office, in the office of a low level manager, which was her husband's office, her husband and two sons were sitting down on sofas with grim looks on their faces.

"This cannot continue", her elder son said.

"Yes, this is just too unfair!" the middle son said with indignation in his voice.

Their father just sat there with a dark face.

In the past week and a half, there was a drastic change in their peaceful and carefree lives they were so accustomed to since they spanned entire decades until recently. Slowly but surely, Sui Luxiao was becoming colder to them, and her demands of them as people working at the company rose from not caring if they ever did any work to now threatening to cut wages for poor work performance.

Her husband noticed that she recently did not let him touch any body part on her, not even hold her hand like he used to when he would ask her for something or wanted to soothe her anger.

He had long lost any interest in her as a woman, especially since he could have as many women he wanted with his status and influence, that was borrowed from her. But in the back of his mind there was still a recognition that she was his woman, his possession. And he could do anything he wanted with her, she would not refuse. He never exercised this ability he thought he had, but it did not mean it did not bring him his confidence, pride and smugness. But she made him doubt the existence of this ability for the first time a few days ago, and continued to intensify this feeling with her attitude. Just because he did not touch her, did not mean he was not prideful about the fact that he could. And her making him doubt this was deeply shaking the foundations of his confidence as a man.

Moreover, he did not touch her for one more reason, and that was that she had lost her allure as a woman somehow. Despite still looking as stunning as when they were young, there was no coquettishness or demure in her gaze, mannerisms, voice, words or actions. She became a cold machine working day in and out, not even exuding a tiny speck of a charm. Her eyes lost luster and became tools for counting money.

But recently, that started to change, there was now some slight, almost imperceptive, sensual feeling in her every move, look and word. A charming and alluring atmosphere began enveloping her, and this made him extremely uncomfortable. It would be fine if this happened because she finally dropped her damn pride he hated so much and finally decided to submit to him, but it was another matter altogether if this was completely unrelated to him.

He had a feeling that he was losing his position as a man. And although he was usually timid and agreeable in front of her because she controlled his finances, it did not mean he did not have an ego or wild ambitions. In fact, his ego was even bigger than most other men out there, because he managed to obtain a woman that everyone was envious of. Just because he was not recently interested in touching her did not mean he did not regard her as his own.

When her illness became apparent, he was secretly overjoyed, because she now had a weakness he could take advantage of. There was also something to distract her from his and his beloved sons' actions. And if she eventually died, so be it, who cared if the woman he was not interested in anymore perished, he would inherit all of the trading company. Of course it would be a little bothersome that he would not need to care about company matters and maybe even work sometimes, which he disdained to do and which was the main reason he did not try to get rid of her despite already reagrding her as an annoyance because of her attitude and nagging. He also knew how good she was at what she did so as long as she did not touch his bottom line, he was satisfied.

But now, it seemed she really was becoming better from whatever treatment she was getting from that hateful young man. And she was becoming more 'defiant', as he was describing it.

As he listened to his sons complaining to each other and venting out their frustration his own mood became worse and worse. The confinement of his youngest son was already crossing the line, but now even the older ones are baing bullied.

"We have to get rid of him" he finally said, stopping the endless whining of the two before him that somehow looked like normal adult behavior to him.

"But…how? Mother will not let us go if we…"

"Your mother just have to not know. I know of the right people to deal with such situations" he said, interrupting the eldest son who immediately panicked at the thought of going against Sui Luxiao's wishes.

A dangerous light shone in the eyes of this man, as he was consumed by anger at his peaceful life being disturbed, feeling hateful for being humiliated on multiple occasions, disturbed by the actions and changes in his wife, and, feeling something he never thought he would feel, jealousy. He did not believe she had the guts to cheat on him, since she was a woman with strong principles and morals ever since he met her. Her integrity was high and he knew of it, after all, he took advantage of it to tie her to him after she became disillusioned with their marriage. But there was still this imperceptible feeling he got that made him jealous for some reason. And that was not something he was willing to tolerate. Just because he did not have any feelings for her, did not mean he was not possessive toward her.
