n“Haa…, haa…, haa…”
nShe gasped for breath after experiencing such intense pleasure for the first time, not in a long time, but in her lifetime.
nIt would seem that he did not do anything special, but she never felt this good before. And there was profound light flickering in her eyes now.
nHis technique was very gradual, as he did not want to shock her body with too much pleasure after such an extensive period of starvation. Otherwise he could have made her release Yin Qi over and over in the first minutes of the ‘treatment’.
n“It is better not to strain yourself too much after such a long period, so we will end this session here, and we can move onto a bit more intense stimulation next” he said, while she was trying to calm herself down.
n“I… I see, I… thank you… I…”
n“Don’t worry, it is okay, you did well and you should feel a little better already as soon as you calm down a bit” he said
nShe nodded and focused on regaining her senses.
nAfter she calmed down, she indeed felt refreshed for the first time in who knows how long. She also fixed her disheveled clothes and overall appearance.
n“Thank you, I will remember this favor” she said, completely recovering her composure with sheer willpower. Being in charge of such a large and influential enterprise for so long was not just for show. She was a strong and competent leader.
n“It is my pleasure” he smiled at her, still making her heart skip a beat, which greatly surprised her. Though there was no indication on the surface, as she looked composed.
n“The medicine you used to try to restore your root of longevity will become more effective now, and even more with each session. You should gradually regain an even more youthful appearance, as well as experience an improvement in skin quality and so on” he said to her, delighting her with this news.
nShe originally looked even younger than her current appearance, which was already the appearance of a youthful 30 year old woman.
n“If you wish to continue with me, I will be here in three to four days” he then told her to confirm whether she wanted to continue her treatment with him.
n“Yes. If it is convenient, I would like for you to help me again. I am willing to negotiate if you need further compensation” she said to him without much hesitation this time.
nHe nodded, and then asked “while this time the released Yin Qi is stale, exhausted and harmful to cultivation, the Yin Qi you release will gradually become better and better in quality, I was wondering if you would mind if I cultivated that Yin Qi after our sessions? The Yin Qi released into the air from non-dual cultivation is not as potent and beneficial as the one from dual cultivation, but with our difference in realms it is actually a great asset for me. Especially since I currently am unable to dual cultivate. Though it would depend on whether you are comfortable with it”
n“Umm, sure, I don’t see why that would be a problem. That way I can at least partially thank you for helping me” she replied without much time needed to think.
n“Thank you” he said with some joy in his voice as it truly was a treasure to him.
n“I was wondering if we will do it next, we should do it somewhere else more…”
n“No, I know what you want to say, but there is a meaning in doing it in this room, so it would be beneficial if we continue next time here as well” he said suddenly, knowing that she was trying to suggest a hotel room or a bedroom.
n“Also, it would be better if you do not change your way of clothing yourself from your usual style, I would explain all of the benefits of all that to you later” he added, as she could very well choose different clothing just to facilitate the treatment.
nShe nodded, not completely understanding, but she could only trust him for now.
n“Plus, just as a bonus, do you not feel it is exciting?” he suddenly said with a smile, and she was taken by surprise.
n“N-no” she looked a bit unnerved, but he did not give her time to become completely angry.
n“Hahah, I am just joking, relax” he chuckled and just brushed past it.
nHe then took out a scroll, which was the medicines and pills he will prescribe her for the treatment, he also wrote doze and how often she has to take for each one.
n“Do you need something else besides the ingredients to… heal?” she suddenly asked, as she remembered what he said to her about his condition before the ‘treatment’ began. She knew how sensitive a topic it was for men and how deeply troubling it was for those who suffered this condition. This was also her subtle attempt at regaining the upper hand in their relationship, a force of habit from so many years of doing business as a merchant and woman owner of a company.
n“Hmm, I don’t really need it for healing, but it would be convenient to have, both for the treatment and for me personally… a Qi Manipulation Ring” he said after some pondering.
nWu Long did not start on courtesy as it was useless in his opinion to care about pride to then suffer defeat because he did not improve fast enough since he was too prideful. So he usually took the chance to gather as many things as he currently needed even if it was a somewhat shameless reliance on somebody’s goodwill. Of course, he also knew that if he did not give her some semblance of security, like she had everything under control by letting her regain some initiative, it would seriously affect her mental state anc could be an impediment to the treatment.
nA Qi Manipulation Ring was, as its name implied, a ring that allowed one to manipulate Spiritual Qi. In this case outside one’s body. The quantities that could be released outside of the body through the ring were laughably small, and one needed to learn how to manipulate Spiritual Qi through the ring as a medium, but it was not supposed to be used in battle. It was a cheat for people below the Qi Manifestation Realm to use Spiritual Qi outside their bodies. It was mainly used so that People with such a ring might be able to interact with and operate formations, open formation locks and such other tasks that required tiny amounts of Spiritual Qi. For example right now, Wu Long could not open the lock on the door without destroying it, since he could not manifest his Spiritual Qi outside his body to interact with it.
n“Oh, sure, we have plenty of those, I will give you one” she was surprised that such a seemingly influential and mysterious person as him did not have such a common item.
nShe checked that her appearance was indeed normal, and gave instructions through the communication jade on her table. She then used a formation usually used for ventilation to clean the Yin Qi and smell lingering in the office, as well as using amenities that she had in a small bathroom to the side of the office to erase all evidence. There were also spare tights and underwear handy in her office bathroom at all times in case of emergencies.
nBy the time she was finished and released the lock on the door and security formations an attendant was already ready with the Qi Manipulation Ring which was then given to Wu Long.
n“So, h-how did it go?” her husband returned to the room, although now she looked at him even more coldly for some reason. There was something that made him even more pathetic in her eyes now despite nothing changing about him.
nWu Long went past him, not even looking at this garbage, or listening to his gibberish, and left after saying his goodbyes. He then went on to Yu Huan.
nBi Rui did not show up since the first time he saw her, having an increased duty time for some reason. Although Wu Long was pretty sure she was just taking more shifts to avoid him. In any case Yu Huan lowered her guard a bit, so she did not demand for her to be near when he came to teach.
nHe taught Yu Huan alchemy, answering her questions and supervising her pill concocting, giving her scrolls he was writing beforehand, as he was preparing for her to concoct the second, very important pill that would help him heal his condition.
nThe Ye house also was getting ready for festivities as a new patriarch of one of the four great families of the Azure Eagle Empire inheriting his position was a grand occasion, and in the land of long-living people walking among common mortals, it was an occasion not even many generations of common people could boast of being alive at the time of it happening.
nGuests arrived from all over the continent, making the city inns a lot busier with business, and important guests or ones who had close relations to the Ye family stayed in guest houses in the family manor. Although Ye Ling’s living area was as secluded and quiet as ever, outside of the gates leading to that area was getting more and more lively.
nHer family would sometimes force her to be present at some meetings with important guests under the pretense of upholding the family traditions and showing good etiquette, but in reality, all of the meetings she had to accept would have a prominent bachelor of an important family in them. Though that was always a ‘coincidence’ of course. And, with no suspense, the area before the gates to her quiet abode began to see these prominent bachelors who were looking for a chance to maybe see her, or bump into her while she walked somewhere, though she did not leave outside of the requests from her family.
nThese bachelors quickly noticed an unpleasant situation that there was an extremely handsome young man, far exceeding anyone in their memories in terms of appearance, who lived inside the area belonging to Ye Ling and frequently went out to return later in the evening. There would occasionally be people trying to talk to him, in an attempt to figure out his identity and relation to Ye Ling, but he completely ignored them, treating them worse than flies as people would at least swat the flies.
nEventually, one of them lost their temper, and decided to “teach this kid some manners”, it was on the third day after Wu Long administered his first treatment to Sui Luxiao, as he was leaving for Yu Huan’s house. But, after Wu Long chopped off his ear as a warning, no one bothered him again, as they understood he was not a person to be trifled with. .
nHowever, while the bachelors now left him alone, the family of the one who lost his ear made a ruckus, and there was a large commotion, with the Ye family joining them to demand explanation from Wu Long.
