Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation-Chapter 93 - 88: Dao Companion

It didn’t take long for Tang Qiu Yao to understand the whole story.

When Ling Changqing had gone on that blind date, although his appearance was slightly altered, he didn’t have any advanced disguise or concealment Secret Techniques.

These Musicians’ Cultivation levels were not low, and having practiced in such a place for years, their eyes were exceptionally sharp. It was entirely possible for them to have recognized Ling Changqing.

At this moment, the Female Cultivator surnamed Meng, dressed in a grand red gown with a light veil over her face, also seemed a bit surprised. She said with a beaming smile:

"Given this young man’s age and Cultivation, he must be one of the Ling Family’s rising stars. He has a great chance of reaching Foundation Establishment in the future, making him a fine match for you girls."

The four Musicians looked at each other. One of them said weakly:

"Martial Uncle Meng is right, that’s what we thought at the time as well. It’s just that this Young Master Ling... didn’t seem to think much of us!"

"So that’s where you met?"

Tang Qiu Yao’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she said with a half-smile, "These girls seem quite remarkable. Why weren’t you interested in any of them?"

"We just didn’t click. There’s nothing to be done about that."

Ling Changqing quickly composed himself and said calmly.

’To be blunt, it isn’t some shameful secret. If Tang Qiu Yao finds out, so be it.’

’As for the Era Star Palace’s secret of harvesting Divine Soul Origins, as long as I keep my mouth shut, no one could possibly discover it. Not even a Divinity Transformation Ancestor could detect anything amiss, even if they were standing right in front of me.’

"Hmph. I’ll deal with you when we get back!"

Tang Qiu Yao shot him a look, sending the message via Divine Thought.

’In front of outsiders, I can’t very well do anything to Ling Changqing. But once we get back, I’m definitely going to teach him a lesson!’

’How dare he go to Xianyuan Pavilion to look for such indecent Female Cultivators? Aren’t the senior sisters at home good enough for him?’

"Alright, Senior Sister Meng, let’s discuss business now. They don’t need to be present."

Tang Qiu Yao turned her head, her demeanor gentle and graceful as she spoke.

The Female Cultivator surnamed Meng nodded lightly. The four Musicians and the surrounding Maids all bowed before exiting the room.

Xianyin Pavilion was a rather mysterious major power in Yuzhou. Much like the Xingyun sun Commerce Association, it was a neutral organization that did business with various factions without getting involved in their conflicts.

Rumor had it that the mastermind controlling Xianyin Pavilion was also a Divinity Transformation Level existence, but ordinary Cultivators never had the chance to meet them.

This red-gowned Female Cultivator’s name was Meng Feiyu. She had originally served as a Steward at the Xianyin Pavilion branch in the Hanyue Continent Marketplace and had been acquainted with Ling Qiyue in her early years.

Later, after Ling Qiyue became a Golden Core Master, the upper echelons of Xianyin Pavilion decided to expand their business in the Longhuan Island Marketplace, so Meng Feiyu applied for a transfer to take charge here.

Since this was not the first time the two parties had cooperated, the talks proceeded quite smoothly.

A short while later, Tang Qiu Yao and Meng Feiyu had settled the details and established a new contract.

"By the way, young man, if you’ve taken a liking to those four girls, I can make the decision to have them become your concubines. What do you say?"

With business concluded, Meng Feiyu sized up Ling Changqing with a grin, her proposal half-joking and half-serious.

Ling Changqing shook his head. "Senior Sister Meng’s proposal is kind, but unfortunately, it comes a bit late. I already have someone in my heart, so I can only apologize for having to decline your good intentions."

’This is a life-or-death question, and there’s no way I would ever choose the wrong answer. I never took those Female Cultivators from Xianyuan Pavilion seriously in the first place, so why would I get entangled with them now?’

"Oh? What a shame. I suppose those girls just aren’t fortunate enough."

Meng Feiyu said with an unconcerned smile.

Beside them, Tang Qiu Yao, who was sipping her tea with her head lowered, remained silent, but a fleeting smile flashed in the depths of her eyes.

After a bit more idle chat, Tang Qiu Yao tactfully rose to leave. She took Ling Changqing with her, and Meng Feiyu, as was customary, saw them to the door.

"...Senior Sister Ling chose a fine successor. It really makes one envious!"

Just before they parted, Meng Feiyu sent this to Tang Qiu Yao via Divine Thought.

"And what are your thoughts, Senior Sister Meng?"

Tang Qiu Yao responded impassively.

"No particular thoughts. I can only say that she is indeed quite lucky."

Meng Feiyu gave a serene smile and said no more.

Having settled things with the Xianyin Pavilion’s Steward, the day’s task was complete. Tang Qiu Yao said little else, taking Ling Changqing by the arm and returning to the Spirit Vein Cave Mansion.

「It was already nightfall.」

Three bright moons hung in the sky, casting a frost-like luminescence. A mysterious and magnificent sea of stars was suspended high in the Celestial Vault, and the bright lights of the Marketplace gradually receded into the distance.

"Junior Brother, have you been holding back with great difficulty?"

On the way, Tang Qiu Yao hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

’I really hadn’t expected that Ling Changqing would actually go to a place like Xianyuan Pavilion for a blind date.’

’But for a young man in the prime of his life, it’s normal to have strong passions and desires. It’s only right that he find a way to release that pressure.’

Ling Changqing was slightly taken aback. He realized the beautiful woman had misunderstood, but he couldn’t very well explain himself, so he could only be vague:

"Um, well, it’s just... you know, Senior Sister!"

Tang Qiu Yao sighed. After a few seconds of silence, she said in a low voice, "In that case... why don’t you spend the night at my place tonight?"

’I had wanted to wait a bit longer, but it seems that’s no longer an option.’

’Given Junior Brother’s state, even if he could maintain his self-control, those Fox Spirits outside wouldn’t give up.’

’This is fine too. It was bound to happen sooner or later, so it’s better to settle it now.’

Ling Changqing’s eyes lit up. He glanced at Tang Qiu Yao’s voluptuous, graceful, and enchanting figure and whispered:

"Of course, I have no problem with that, but... Senior Sister Ling... she won’t have a problem either, right?"

"It’s fine. I’ll go explain it to her."

Tang Qiu Yao’s beautiful, jade-like face flushed crimson. ’Things have already reached this point,’ she thought, ’so why worry about who goes first?’

Inside the cave mansion, the head Maid, Longyun, was waiting in the front hall. She wasn’t surprised to see Ling Changqing returning with her mistress.

"From now on, activate all the Arrays and Restrictions inside and outside the cave mansion. No one is to disturb us."

Tang Qiu Yao commanded.

Longyun acknowledged the order and turned to leave.

The stunningly beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip, took Ling Changqing’s arm, and led him into her bedroom.

As the door was locked, the soft, pearlescent light illuminated the beauty’s nation-toppling, jade-like face, a rosy blush spreading across it. Her soul-stealing eyes were as gentle and captivating as a painting.

A soft, white carpet covered the floor. Exquisite Coral Crystal palace lanterns hung from above. Beneath a bright yellow embroidered canopy was a large, red-lacquered, carved and embroidered bed. A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted through the room.

"Senior Sister, should we take a dip in the hot spring first?"

Ling Changqing suggested, his hand sweeping past her smooth waist to caress her plump, full peach, feeling the flames in his heart burn ever hotter.

"You go first. I’ll be there in a moment!"

Tang Qiu Yao’s heart trembled. She pouted with bashfulness, and with a slight twist of her smooth, firm waist, she slipped from his grasp.

Next to the bedroom was a large, luxurious hot spring bath, separated only by a beaded curtain, making passage between them easy.

Ling Changqing knew she was shy, so he didn’t press her. He went to the bath first, stripped off his clothes, and soaked in the warm Spiritual Spring Water.

In the Bright Mirror by the embroidered bed, Tang Qiu Yao’s jade-like hands slowly loosened the knot at her waist, removing her magnificent outer robe to reveal the elegant, pale-colored inner garments beneath.

As layers of clothing slipped from her smooth, round, snow-white shoulders, a bright red, form-fitting, silk-embroidered bodice was revealed. The nearly transparent fabric enveloped her ample, magnificent chest, with thin silk ribbons pulled taut, circling around to her jade-like neck where they were tied in a delicate knot.

The stunningly beautiful woman hesitated for a few breaths. Her jade-like hands, trembling slightly, untied the silk ribbon, removing the last restraint. Her breathtaking, snow-white, and alluring body was revealed, her full, rounded peaks exceptionally firm and perky.

At the peaks of those proud, snowy mountains, a sprig of red plum blossoms was clearly visible. Below, a full moon, pert yet perfectly round, and a pair of long, shapely, jade-like legs radiated an unparalleled allure.

She turned, her slender, jade-carved feet padding across the carpet as she walked, step by step, into the hot spring bath.

Before Ling Changqing’s eyes, the beauty’s enchanting, fiery, and seductive body drew closer. Her skin was smooth and delicate, like jade and snow. The graceful sway of her slick, firm waist emanated a silent, irresistible charm.

"Junior Brother..."

Tang Qiu Yao’s beautiful face was flushed red. Her long, waterfall-like black hair cascaded down her back. Her lustrous, charming lips parted slightly, and her voice was soft and tender as she called his name, her Mind in turmoil.

"Senior Sister!"

With this world-toppling beauty before him, Ling Changqing was also finding it hard to restrain himself. ’From this day forward, this voluptuous and enchanting woman will be my Dao Companion.’

Ling Changqing said no more. He strode forward decisively and pulled the voluptuous beauty before him into his arms...
