Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 715 Drunk on...

A small correction to the previous chapter: Cao Mei and Cao Xiang who came out to command their subordinates in the fight with the Demonic Beasts also remained behind on the plateau with Wu Long, Lian Zhiqiu, Hong twins, and Fen Baihu after the latter spirited away everyone else.

The water that flooded the devastated ground below flowed upward in large streams, disappearing into the void not far from Wu Long's palm, collected into the Water Spatial Ring.

It was murky from blood and dissolved dirt, so he stored it separately for now.

"Whew~, is it finally over?", Lian Zhiqiu asked looking a bit tired, since she maintained several Profound Grade Formations for quite some time. Even if they cleaned up the Demonic Wave relatively fast for its size, normally, keeping this many formations over such a large area with her cultivation would be hard to do even for half a minute.

The only reason she was able to last this long was that she used the existing foundation that Wu Long created to maintain his own concealment arrays and formations, that harnessed the natural energies of the terrain.

'Honestly, while I know I shouldn't compete with someone who lived for who knows how long and had access to knowledge that I couldn't even imagine, perfecting his understanding of nature and energies that govern it without rest, it is still hard to boast how much of a genius I am when standing next to him', Lian Zhiqiu inwardly chuckled.

Her line of sight circled the area around them.

'Forget being a Spiritual Land with a Dragon Vein, this area is not even a natural ley lines intersection, no… there's actually no ley lines crossing this land, and no Spiritual Qi currents doing so, if anything, it's rather barren…', she felt like letting out a dry laugh.

After all, Wu Long specifically chose a remote region that was least populated. This land was not only neglected by cultivators, but even Demonic Beasts did not roam around it since it was that unappealing.

'To think he used Feng Shui of such a region and constructed Qi flows by placing or shifting some large rocks in the vicinity and altering the course of a few water streams… all that while being short on time because he was dealing with an internal crisis', she smiled, since while using all that energy she was able to feel the pathways that it used to concentrate within that ravine that Wu Long was using for his meditation, and thus could trace the changes he made to achieve such a feat.

And through that she noticed that while the changes he made were seemingly small, and any one of them would have been utterly insignificant, together, they created ripple effects as the natural energy of the land shifted, and condensed into streams that joined other such streams, forming powerful currents that all rushed toward one single spot where he tied them all up and used them to power his array.

Of course, since Wu Long's array was constructed with talismans, even if he didn't clean it up after this, it would not last longer than perhaps a week, but all that would change, was that the condensed energy that powered that array would be set free, forming a sort of spring of Spiritual Qi.

With time, these currents will make paths for new natural Spiritual Qi currents, and possibly a new ley line might be born far into the future, and then this area will flourish with Spiritual Qi on its own. If that happened, that fountain of Spiritual Qi in its center might grow to become a natural Spiritual Spot, not quite as powerful as a Dragon Vein of a Spiritual Land, but still significant enough to bring prosperity to an entire region, and be beneficial to cultivation. 'Hah, I never thought I would see with my own eyes how a Formation Master quite literally changes the fate of a land just like in the books I read as a little girl…', she thought with a feeling of admiration and longing, as her aspiration to reach the same heights was growing within her.

"Ah~… I really picked a wrong profession…", she muttered with a bit of bittersweetness as she recalled Wu Long's earlier words. Lian Zhiqiu then sighed, and one by one started deactivating her Formations in preparation to leave this area.

At the same time, while finishing collecting the leftover water from the area, intending to leave only enough to not cause suspicion, Wu Long was examining the Vortex of Slaughter Qi that massively grew both in volume and intensity. 'Heh, I can see how this feeling really might be intoxicating and addictive… it's indeed a technique deserving of the Evil Path…', he chuckled as he felt the exhilarating sensation that the vortex gave off as it absorbed and refined the Life Qi of the Demonic Beasts he slayed, 'it's no wonder the previous owners of this technique all got drunk on it and did everything to obtain this feeling…'

The Slaughter God Tyrant Vortex Technique was, after all, one with a dark history. Any normal person would be wary of starting to practice it, knowing how depraved and drunk on slaughter and violence its previous owners became.

'But…', the corners of Wu Long's lips curled up as he finally finished collecting the water and turned to the ones waiting for him, a black shadow rushing into him and falling into his embrace, crimson eyes filled with excitement and flushed cheeks entering his view, a feeling of heated, slightly rough breaths tickling his skin, 'this puny temptation of slaughter is nothing to me, what I chose to get drunk with…'

He leaned down to taste the sweet lips of an exquisite beauty, their tongues entwined together, as he finished his thought while thoroughly enjoying this sensation, '...is much more sweet and addictive than any wine or temptation of corrupt techniques'

Indeed, a 'normal person' might hesitate in front of a technique that tempted its user with intense pleasure that could corrupt the mind, but not a man who knew pleasure in all its forms like the back of his hand. In the end, in his eyes, the Slaughter God Tyrant Vortex Art was simply a technique like any other.

"Haa~... W-Wu Long…", Hong Ye made a trembling exhale and whispered after their lips parted, her lips still just mere couple of centimeters away from his, in a voice that lit a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Careful, Ye'er. I might have impressive self-control, but if you speak like that our next cultivation might be a bit exhausting even for you", he chuckled, only half-joking as he warned her not to play with fire.

'...', Hong Yue watched the couple with eyes full of incredulousness, 'T-That sight excited her…? I swear, she might be my twin little sister, but even I sometimes find it hard to understand her'

Thinking back to how she felt watching Wu Long unleash a slaughter to the Demonic Beasts, she really couldn't be further in sentiment from Hong Ye, who grew so aroused that she was almost ready to get hot and heavy with him right here in the open, not minding Hong Yue's or anyone's eyes that might be watching them.

"See, I told you I'll show you Darling's cool side", was the excited words that Hong Ye spoke to her twin as they were watching him cleaning the aftermath. And only now did Hong Yue understand that it wasn't some kind of joke. "Hahaha, are you trying to scare me with a reward? Or are you subtly encouraging me?", Hong Ye's giggle tickled Wu Long's ears with genuine amusement at his words, 'Aah~, really, what am I going to do? I am addicted to this man so much…I get drunk on the feeling of just being near him'

"You really have no idea how much I really hold back, do you?", he chuckled with a slightly wronged expression.

It was true that Wu Long had amazing self-control, and it was true he was always in control of his desires and impulses, but it didn't mean he did not have those desires at all.

In fact, for someone like him, and with all of his cultivation of his Yang Root up to now, dual cultivating with his ladies mostly felt like the lightest touch of moisture smeared on the lips of someone who was traveling through a scorching desert for years before.

Just like Song Lingfei noted before, after cultivating with him for the first time, the more one cultivated their Yang Root in a specific way, the more they increased their capacity for dual cultivation, and as a result, the more desire and libido they had to deal with.

Even mortals with no cultivation could lose themselves in lust, the fact Wu Long was able to act as if he didn't have any desire at all for the most part, and was completely unswayed by his natural instincts in the overwhelming majority of situations, always keeping a cool head on his shoulders even in situations like these where he was playful and seemingly impulsive, was simply proof of how strong his mental fortitude was.

"Haha, if you are troubled by having to hold back, should I join in?", Lian Zhiqiu came closer, causing Wu Long to smile, "After all, I also haven't received a reward for working so much... plus I have quite a bit of tedious work ahead of me to do with Teacher... it would really boost my productivity and eagerness to receive some... motivation"

"In that case, me and Mom would like to join as well", Cao Mei spoke up as she noticed an opportunity.

"Mei'er!", Cao Xiang blushed as she looked at her daughter.

"What? If Mom's nor feeling up to it, I can join alone"

"I-It's not like I don't want to...", Cao Xiang's mumbling voice became tiny as she turned her gaze first to Wu Long and then away.

Hong Ye didn't mind either way, since her sole focus was Wu Long. Whether other ladies were together with them or not didn't really register in her mind as long as she was with him. Not to mention, that Wu Long periodically spent one-on-one nights with all of his ladies, so it wasn't like she didn't have any alone time with him.

"Would you like to go back then?", Fen Baihu chuckled, seeing Hong Ye seemingly forgotten by her little sister just standing at a distance, while the four beauties were seemingly already in a world of their own with Wu Long.

"No... thank you for the offer, I think I'll look around outside for a bit while breathing some fresh air... I have some things to think of", the white-haired assassin shook her head as she declined the Celestial Fox's gesture, the latter shrugging with the words "Alright then" and becoming hazy mist that dissipated in the wind.fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
