Chapter 7

Back then, it was just between a Senior Brother and his Junior Sister, but now…

"Are you truly willing to Cultivate the Yin and Yang Dao with me?" Lin Yi became serious.

"Mm… I, I am willing… Senior Brother, why are you being so serious…" Yu Xiaotang stammered, turning her head away, not daring to meet Lin Yi's gaze.

"Then…" Lin Yi used his hand to lift Yu Xiaotang's chin, then leaned in.

Yu Xiaotang's body trembled, and then she squeezed her eyes shut.

"What are you thinking about?"

A cold, clear female voice rang out, and immediately after, Yu Xiaotang felt the warmth holding her quickly depart.

She suddenly opened her eyes to see her beloved Senior Brother already held in the arms of the old hag, a "bitter" smile on his face.

Immediately after…

Yu Xiaotang's pupils constricted. "No!!"

She watched as the old hag directly kissed her Senior Brother, and as her fingers moved, the old hag undid her Senior Brother's inner garments.

Looking at the deep hickeys on Lin Yi's upper body, Yu Xiaotang suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

This is too much!

It really is too much!

Yu Xiaotang gritted her teeth, channeled the spiritual power belonging to a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and lunged directly at Lin Yi.

This way, at least the old hag would get one less bite; Senior Brother shouldn't blame her, right…

Then she was frozen in mid-air.

Yu Xiaotang's eyes turned red. Compared to before, she had now walked inside the curtain of the bed, watching in full, unobstructed detail how Lin Yi was devoured by Pei Yuhan.

She watched as Pei Yuhan kissed… devoured… it was as if a thin mist was permeating the soft couch…

Pei Yuhan held Lin Yi lazily, looking at Yu Xiaotang, whose eyes were practically spitting fire, a smile playing on her lips; the frustration from just before had been completely vented.

Hehehehe, Xiao Tang, oh Xiao Tang, Lin Yi is mine; you can only be the little one.

Lin Yi played the role of the one enjoying it completely. Seeing that Pei Yuhan was satisfied, he timely revealed a bitter expression.

"Alright, Xiao Tang, you can do as you please from now on."

As Pei Yuhan relaxed her control over Yu Xiaotang, she fell from mid-air onto the soft couch, her palms feeling completely damp.

Yu Xiaotang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Lin Yi, her expression showing some pity, but also some flush.

She seemed to… seeing her Senior Brother being toyed with by the old hag… had already…

No, that's not right; it's just that my love for Senior Brother is too deep!

Seeing Yu Xiaotang's face getting redder and redder, Lin Yi took the initiative to take her hand, then picked her up and placed her by the pillow.

Yu Xiaotang also hugged Lin Yi's neck.

"Xiao Tang…"

"Senior Brother… I love you…" Yu Xiaotang whispered.

"I do too…" Lin Yi lowered his head, pressing against Yu Xiaotang's smooth forehead.

Immediately after, Yu Xiaotang leaned in.

"Mm…"

"Senior Brother… let me be yours…" Yu Xiaotang gently stroked the hickeys on Lin Yi's body; those were not made by her.

"Mm…" Lin Yi nodded.

"Mm…" Yu Xiaotang felt a bit dizzy. She noticed a blood-red hue diffusing in her Senior Brother's eyes. She blinked, but inside they were still a clear, ink-black.

It was as if she were riding on a small boat…

Chapter 11: Junior Brother, I'll Take Care of Master

"Senior Brother, where are Master and Junior Sister? How come I don't see anyone?" Zhao Nian scratched his head and asked Lin Yi, who was drinking tea and watching the snow in the pavilion.

"Oh, Master is in the Cold Jade Palace, personally guiding Junior Sister in Sword practice. Junior Brother, let me see how your basic Sword techniques are progressing." Lin Yi put down his teacup, turned his head, and pointed to the open space nearby.

"Yes, Senior Brother." Zhao Nian nodded. The Cold Jade Palace did not allow others to enter; unless summoned by Pei Yuhan, others were forbidden from going in or out. He had only entered the main hall when he became a Disciple.

Zhao Nian felt a bit regretful; he wouldn't be able to see Master today.

Lin Yi watched as Zhao Nian practiced basic Sword techniques in the open space, offering casual guidance.

Even when he was at the third stage of the Sword Dao, he could have guided Zhao Nian, who hadn't even entered the threshold of the Sword Dao yet, let alone now that he was at the seventh stage.

Lin Yi was circulating the Dao scripture he had obtained from Junior Sister's "Childhood Sweethearts" quest—the Great Sun Scripture—while looking at the Cold Palace Sword Sect covered in snow.

Compared to the original Dao scriptures of the Cold Palace Sword Sect, this Great Sun Scripture was more suitable for his body.

For one thing, it didn't require special meditation to Cultivate; it only needed sunlight. But even those who slipped through the net of nine-year compulsory education knew that sunlight was starlight, and moonlight was also starlight, just reflected.

Therefore, even at night, as long as there was light, he could Cultivate.

Of course, all the above explanations came from the System; Lin Yi wasn't sure if the physics knowledge from his past life was still applicable in this cultivation world.

But since it was certified by the System, it must be true.

Furthermore… Great Sun, Great Sun, those who know, know; his abilities in that area would receive an epic—no, a mythical-level boost.

What is the most important thing in the Inner World?

It's not cultivation, nor appearance; the most important thing is your… ability!

If you don't want to be cuckolded, or even want to cuckold others, your ability in this area cannot be lacking!

Thirdly…

Lin Yi closed his eyes and looked inward. Now, his Golden Core had transformed from its original snow-white color into half snow-white and half crimson.

For a Sword Cultivator, the Golden Core is their Sword Pellet; once they step into the Golden Core Stage, they can nourish their natal spiritual Sword.

When nourished to the Late Stage, this spiritual Sword is often no weaker than a Dao Sword born of heaven and earth that possesses Innate Dao charm!

Or rather, this is a Spiritual Artifact forged by the Cultivator using their own body as a furnace and heaven and earth Origin Qi as fuel, the one most suitable for themselves!

Lin Yi reached out his hand, and the Sword Pellet in his Dantian quietly appeared in his palm.

With a lift of his hand, an ancient Sword, entirely snow-white with golden patterns, appeared in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi gently stroked the long Sword. "From now on, I'll call you… Sword."

The Sword body hummed, seemingly happy with the name as well.

"Senior Brother… you, have you entered the Golden Core Stage?" Zhao Nian, who had long since stopped swinging his Sword nearby, stared blankly at the long Sword in Lin Yi's hand. He remembered that yesterday, Senior Brother was still at the late Foundation Establishment Stage, right?

After the late Foundation Establishment Stage, there is the Foundation Establishment Peak, half-step Great Perfection, Great Perfection, and half-step Golden Core.

In just one day, Senior Brother had directly entered the Golden Core Stage?

"An Epiphany in a single morning, directly entering the Golden Core Stage." Lin Yi chuckled and backhanded the Sword away.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Congratulations, Senior Brother!!" Zhao Nian cupped his hands and offered his congratulations.

"No need for that; we are Senior and Junior Brothers, such vulgar formalities…"

…

"So, Junior Brother, are you willing to leave the Qiongming Domain and head to the Yueming Domain to deliver a letter for Master?"

In the afternoon, Lin Yi found Zhao Nian holding a jade pendant.

Zhao Nian hesitated. The Yueming Domain was 108,000 li away from the Qiongming Domain; even with a teleportation Formation, the journey would take at least three months.

He wouldn't be able to see Master for three months…

"Senior Brother, you…"

"He is going to the Dao Trial Conference. Your Junior Sister is only at the Qi Refining Stage, and I am worried. You have just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Under normal circumstances, with my protection, no one will make a move against you."

A cold, clear female voice came from behind Lin Yi. Pei Yuhan glanced at Zhao Nian indifferently.

Under Lin Yi's hint, she had just discovered that this guy Zhao Nian actually had impure thoughts about her too!

Originally, she had thought Zhao Nian was focused on the Dao and loyal to the Sword; she hadn't expected that, like her eldest Disciple, he also wanted to betray his Master and defy his ancestors…

Zhao Nian hurriedly bowed to Pei Yuhan.

"Zhao Nian, do you have any other questions?" Pei Yuhan said indifferently.

Knowing that Pei Yuhan had always been this cold and aloof, Zhao Nian didn't feel disappointed. He shook his head. "No, this Disciple obeys."

"Then leave as soon as possible. The journey is long; take this." After all, he was her Disciple; even though she knew his intentions were impure, Pei Yuhan still couldn't bring herself to make a cruel decision.

She took some Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills from her storage ring, wrapped them in spiritual power, and sent them to Zhao Nian.

Zhao Nian's eyes filled with hot tears. He felt a sense of gratification that Master valued him so much, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart instantly dissipated.

Zhao Nian wiped the corners of his eyes, carefully took the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills Pei Yuhan had sent, and placed them properly in his storage ring.

"This Disciple will leave immediately and will not let Master worry!" Saying this, Zhao Nian bowed to Pei Yuhan again and turned to pack his luggage.

After a while, Zhao Nian set off alone down the mountain path.

Lin Yi's expression was calm. Watching Zhao Nian's figure fade into the distance, he wrapped his arm around Pei Yuhan's slender waist and lowered his head to sniff her jade-like neck; the fragrance on the Fairy's body carried a natural allure.

"Stop messing around; it's not evening yet." Pei Yuhan wanted to push Lin Yi away, but her palms were soft and she didn't use any force, so how could she push him away? Instead, it seemed more like she was half-resisting and half-yielding.

The wind and snow gradually picked up again. Zhao Nian strode down the mountain. He looked back and, from afar, saw two figures leaning against each other. He blinked, but could only see the faint mountain mist.

Zhao Nian let out a long breath. It scared him to death; he had thought he saw Master and Senior Brother holding each other.

How could that be? How could Senior Brother and Master hold each other…

Zhao Nian shook his head and laughed. He took out the jade pendant, looked at it, then put it back into his pocket, and continued straight down the mountain path, leaving.

The journey to the Xianyun Sect in the Yueming Domain was long, so he had to be quick. When he returned, Master should reward him, right…

In a place Zhao Nian couldn't see.

"Rebellious Disciple!!" Pei Yuhan slapped Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi carried Pei Yuhan and walked toward the Cold Jade Palace.

"Master, I have just obtained a set of Dao scriptures; it seems they suddenly appeared in my memory. Come and help me take a look."

"Hm? Let me see."

"Wait! Didn't you say you wanted to look at the Dao scriptures?!?"

"Rebellious Disciple!!"

"Mm…"

"…No more, no more…"

Chapter 12: Little Master, How Ridiculous

Sent that lightbulb Zhao Nian away; happy, took a bite of Master.

Obtained the Great Sun Scripture; happy, took a bite of Master.

Master can't take it anymore; so the so-called mythical-level boost is this fierce? Happy, took a bite of Junior Sister.

Noisy and bustling, until twilight, Lin Yi lay on the soft couch holding Pei Yuhan and Yu Xiaotang. In his arms, Pei Yuhan's breathing gradually calmed down. She used her hand to tuck the hair by her ear behind it; this charming scene made Lin Yi's heart jump violently.

"Don't…" Seeming to perceive Lin Yi's mood, Pei Yuhan hurriedly refused.

"Then I…" Lin Yi just wanted to speak, but Pei Yuhan interrupted him.

"Talk about business, talk about business!!" Pei Yuhan changed the subject, her expression becoming serious. "You said a Dao scripture suddenly appeared in your mind?"

"Yes, I can't explain the specific content, but it can probably be cultivated to the Dao Integration Stage; it's called the Great Sun Scripture." Lin Yi told her everything. He truly couldn't explain the specific content of the Great Sun Scripture; he was just circulating his spiritual power based on a profound and mysterious feeling.

"There is true meaning in this, but words are forgotten when one tries to discern it; this is very normal. Profound Dao scriptures are generally like this." Pei Yuhan nodded in understanding. "I have two conjectures."

"What are the two conjectures?" Lin Yi asked curiously. The reason he didn't explain why he suddenly obtained the Dao scripture was entirely to let others fill in the blanks.

His own explanation might not make others believe him, but they would often firmly believe the results they imagined themselves.
