91: Hidden Rewards

Consciousness awakened, Xin Ruyin slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the light outside the window, it was already the next day.

She didn't get up immediately, just lay quietly, recalling the madness of last night, which brought a blush to her cheeks.

But she was not the type of woman to be coy.

Since it had already happened, there was nothing to regret. From now on, her fate would be closely tied to that Senior.

She propped herself up with her arms and sat up, an unprecedented vitality surging from her limbs and bones. Her body was no longer stiff; instead, it felt light.

However, looking down, she was naked, and the marks Lin Feng had left last night were clearly visible. This made Xin Ruyin feel a blush of shame.

She looked around but didn't find her plain white long dress. She also didn't have a Storage Pouch, so she couldn't find any clothing to cover herself for a moment.

Helpless, she had no choice but to grab the brocade quilt from the bed, tightly wrap her body, and walk barefoot, cautiously out of the bedroom.

She wanted to go back to her quiet room first, where she had clean clothes to change into.

But as soon as she pushed open the door, she bumped into a solid chest.

“Ah!”

Xin Ruyin exclaimed, losing her footing and falling backward.

The brocade quilt wrapped around her also slid off completely with a rustle due to the sudden collision.

Lin Feng was holding a jade scroll, preparing to enter the room, and didn't expect such a scene. He instinctively reached out to help, but both the person and the quilt fell into his embrace.

His nose was instantly filled with a soft, fragrant scent, and before his eyes was a dazzling expanse of white.

...

After an epic moment.

Lin Feng finally lifted his face from that softness, suppressing the rising heat in his heart again. He solemnly helped Xin Ruyin up and took out a loose Daoist robe from his Storage Pouch, draping it over her.

“Ruyin, how do you feel? Is your body comfortable?”

He asked gently, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin’s cheeks, which had just lost their flush, turned crimson again. She mistakenly thought Lin Feng was teasing her, and recalling everything from last night, she couldn't help but turn her head to the side, biting her lip, and remaining silent.

Seeing her like this, Lin Feng scratched his head, then realized his words were somewhat ambiguous.

He cleared his throat and rephrased.

“What I mean is, you haven't checked your Meridians yet, have you? Why not calm down and feel it carefully.”

Seeing Lin Feng's sincere face and clear eyes, not appearing to be faking, Xin Ruyin's shame and annoyance dissipated a bit. She skeptically closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and sent a wisp of Divine Sense into her body.

The Meridians, which were originally blocked and dim due to the conflict of Yin and Yang Qi, were now completely unobstructed.

She merely instinctively took a breath, and Spiritual Qi flowed into her body without hindrance, circulating through the clear Meridians, causing her Qi Refining sixth-level Cultivation Bottleneck to show faint signs of loosening.

This… what was going on?

Xin Ruyin suddenly opened her eyes, and her clear, cold eyes were now filled with an unbelievable joy.

She looked up at Lin Feng, her voice trembling slightly.

“Senior… did you do this? My Dragon's Roar Body… disappeared?”

Looking at the light in her eyes, a ripple also appeared in Lin Feng's heart.

...

Last night, after he and Xin Ruyin finished their intimacy, the long-lost System prompt sounded in his mind.

“Ding! Detected that the supporting female character [Xin Ruyin] voluntarily engaged in relations with the host. The host has changed her original fate trajectory and indirectly triggered a change in the fate line of the original plot's supporting female character [Tian Qiner].”

“Triggered hidden reward: System Space upgraded to [Inner Universe]!”

“Inner Universe: This space forms its own heaven and earth, also containing the seventeen great Laws of the Immortal Realm. The host can comprehend the power of Law in this heaven and earth.”

This reward somewhat shocked Lin Feng.

Forming its own heaven and earth within the body? And being able to comprehend Laws while inside?

In some Xuanhuan novels of his previous life, such a Realm would already be invincible. It was a pity that he couldn't freely control the Laws, but being able to comprehend them in advance at the Core Formation Stage was an unimaginable benefit.

And all of this originated from the woman beside him whom he had just plucked.

Looking at her sleeping, delicate face, Lin Feng's heart stirred. He entered the System Mall and searched painstakingly among the dazzling array of Cultivation Techniques, finally exchanging for a Dual Cultivation Technique called “Mysterious Maiden Yin and Yang Scripture.”

He immediately learned this technique using the System. The Spiritual Qi circulation in his body underwent subtle changes, gaining a hint of feminine harmony.

Then, he gently placed his palm on Xin Ruyin's flat lower abdomen, mobilizing his vast Spiritual Qi, comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage, and carefully probed into her body.

This was an extremely delicate task. He needed to use his Spiritual Qi to forcibly clear and straighten the Meridians in her body that were stagnant and blocked due to the Yin and Yang imbalance, inch by inch.

This process lasted for nearly an hour.

When the last Meridian was cleared, Lin Feng was already covered in sweat. He felt Xin Ruyin's Meridians, which were now no different from those of ordinary Cultivators, and nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, before retracting his hand, he didn't forget to secretly knead that nascent area.

He knew that relying on Spiritual Qi to forcibly straighten them was only a temporary measure.

With the domineering nature of the Dragon's Roar Body, the Meridians would become blocked again in at most a month.

However...

Lin Feng's thoughts returned to the present. Looking at Xin Ruyin, who was full of anticipation, he smiled and shook his head.

“I merely used Spiritual Qi to temporarily straighten your Meridians. This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. To cure it completely, you still need this.”

Saying that, he handed the ancient jade scroll in his hand to Xin Ruyin.

“This is?” Xin Ruyin took it with a puzzled expression.

“This is a Dual Cultivation Technique,” Lin Feng explained. “After you Cultivate it, the Pure Yang Qi in your body that cannot be resolved will be guided by the Cultivation Technique and accumulated in specific acupoints. Once accumulated to a certain extent, performing Dual Cultivation will balance Yin and Yang and turn it into your own use. Once you Cultivate this Cultivation Technique to Major Achievement, the Dragon's Roar Body will be cured without medicine.”

It can be cured!

Xin Ruyin was overjoyed to hear this.

She quickly unrolled the jade scroll, her gaze sinking into it as she rapidly read the contents. The Cultivation Technique was not profound, and she, a Formation genius, quickly understood its principles.

However, when she turned to the latter half of the Cultivation Technique, those diagrams and annotations depicting Dual Cultivation secret Moves...

She looked up, her clear, cold eyes showing a hint of innocent confusion. She tilted her small head slightly, pointing to one of the diagrams.

“Senior, what do these Moves described in this Dual Cultivation secret technique mean? And these few Moves… Ruyin doesn't quite understand.”

Upon hearing this, a strange smile immediately appeared on Lin Feng's face.

He took a step forward, leaned close to her, and lowered his voice.

“Miss Ruyin, do you truly want to know?”

“Of course.” Xin Ruyin nodded as if it were obvious. “If I can't even comprehend the essence of the Cultivation Technique, how can I Cultivate it to the Major Achievement Realm?”

Before her words finished, she felt her body lighten.

Lin Feng directly stepped forward and lifted the hem of the loose Daoist robe on her, giving her no chance to react.

He pressed closer, and their bodies touched again.

Xin Ruyin's eyes instantly widened, her mind a blank.

She only heard Lin Feng's voice, carrying a burning aura, sounding by her crystal-clear earlobe, every word seeming to carry an electric current.

“This is the first Move. Ruyin, you must feel it with your heart.”

“Mmm…”

Xin Ruyin wanted to say something more, but Lin Feng sealed her lips.

Inside the bedroom, suppressed gasps and embarrassing sounds soon echoed again.

“Ruyin, remember, this Move is…!”

...

“This Move is called…!”

...

Several hours later.

Xin Ruyin lay limply on the floor, her beautiful hair soaked with sweat, clinging messily to her cheeks and back, her eyes hazy, unconsciously panting softly.

Lin Feng, however, remained as energetic and lively as ever.

He looked at Xin Ruyin, who had turned into a pile of soft mud, and said with satisfaction: “These are the Moves recorded in the Cultivation Technique. You must firmly remember them in your heart. Every time we Dual Cultivate in the future, you must practice them from beginning to end!”

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin's already pale face turned even paler, and she almost fainted on the spot.

...

Several days later.

The time for the Yan Family Fortress Treasure Hunt finally arrived.

At the entrance of the Immortal Cave, Lin Feng stood tall and elegant in a white robe.

“After I leave, you two will Cultivate peacefully in the Immortal Cave. Unless there is an important matter, do not leave the Huangfeng Valley territory.”

He instructed Han Yunzhi and Xin Ruyin, who were before him.

“Yes, Young Master.” Han Yunzhi replied obediently.

Xin Ruyin stood aside, merely nodding slightly. After these few days of “teaching,” she had gradually adapted to Lin Feng's strength. Although she was tormented to death each time, the benefits were also obvious. Her complexion improved day by day, and her Cultivation also broke through to Qi Refining seventh-level.

Of course, she didn't know that in fact, only one Dual Cultivation session would have kept her body fine for half a year. The subsequent times were merely Lin Feng using the pretext of “practicing Dual Cultivation secret Moves” to satisfy his own desires.

Lin Feng finished his instructions, no longer lingered, and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

After flying a short distance, he subconsciously looked back at his Immortal Cave.

On the mountain peak, the two graceful figures were still standing in place, looking in the direction he had left.

Lin Feng's heart warmed slightly.

However, thinking of this trip to Yan Family Fortress, his heart grew a bit heavier.

The plot direction of this world was deviating further and further from “The Dao Ancestor's Descent” he remembered. He wondered what would happen this time.

No matter what the future holds, no matter how many variables lie ahead, he, Lin Feng, must protect these several Dao Companion beauties for this lifetime.

His eyes narrowed, no longer thinking too much, and the light suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the meeting point agreed upon with Hongfu Immortal.
