12: Chapter 12 Talking Back to Junior Sister

Night, inside Mo Zixing's room.

Jiang Yuwei sat upright at the table, her entire being radiating restraint.

This was the first time in her life that she had entered another man's room alone at night.

Though she said she was nervous, her body was quite honest; as soon as it got dark, she had come over of her own accord.

Mo Zixing was currently leaning against the table, scanning the System panel with his mind.

The countdown was still ticking away unhurriedly.

Remaining protection period: 3 days and 7 hours.

He closed the panel, turned around with two freshly brewed cups of tea, sat down opposite Jiang Yuwei, and pushed one toward her.

"Try it, it's brewed with Qi Condensation Grass."

Saying so, he first picked up his own cup and took a sip.

The tea had a hint of bitterness.

After swallowing, a gentle surge of spiritual power slid down his throat into his Dantian, slowly dispersing.

Jiang Yuwei followed suit, taking small sips.

The faint spiritual power in the tea dispersed, easing much of her nervous tension.

More than half the cup of tea was finished.

Jiang Yuwei finally couldn't help but look up at Mo Zixing, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

She had been pondering for a long time, trying to find words that fit the mood, but when she spoke, she reverted to the most practical question:

"Senior Brother, what exactly is the method... you mentioned before for rapidly increasing one's cultivation?"

She regretted it as soon as she asked, wishing she could bury her face in the teacup.

Who talks about nothing but cultivation in an atmosphere like this?

"You'll know in a moment."

Seeing her embarrassment, Mo Zixing couldn't help but chuckle. He took another sip of tea and asked unhurriedly:

"You've spent some time with me now. In your heart, what kind of person am I, really?"

Jiang Yuwei was stunned for a moment, then spoke without hesitation:

"Senior Brother Mo is a very good person. You're mysterious and powerful, able to resolve any danger we encounter."

After saying that, as if summoning all her courage, she looked up at Mo Zixing and added softly with a blushing face:

"And also... the only person I am willing to follow wholeheartedly."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ambiguity in the room intensified.

The air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.

The candlelight flickered.

Mo Zixing put down his cup, stood up, and walked to her. Giving her no chance to retreat, he leaned down and kissed her.

Jiang Yuwei froze instantly, her eyes widening. Then, as if all her strength had been drained, her body suddenly went limp.

Her hand gripping the teacup slowly loosened, and she gently wrapped her arms around Mo Zixing's waist, leaning her entire weight against him.

After kissing for only a moment, Mo Zixing felt the Candle Dragon Bloodline within him surge.

A wave of heat surged from his Dantian through his entire body, and his temperature rose rapidly.

It feels quite heated.

He couldn't help but reach out, his hands wandering over his Junior Sister's exquisite and curvaceous body.

"Ah... Senior Brother..."

Jiang Yuwei was completely enveloped by his warm aura; her already limp body now lacked even a shred of strength.

She instinctively reached out to push against his chest, but he caught her wrists, gently raised them above her head, and pinned them against the wall behind her.

"The punishment you owe me—it's time to pay up."

Before Jiang Yuwei could say anything, he flicked his finger, and a round qi gathering pill slid into her slightly parted mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and warm spiritual power immediately dispersed.

"Be good, and refine it well."

Mo Zixing's voice was tinged with amusement.

He made it sound easy, but at this moment, how could Jiang Yuwei have any mind left for refining spiritual power?

...

The medicinal power of the qi gathering pill intertwined with the soreness in her body, repeatedly washing over her senses.

Crystal teardrops rolled down her dazed, beautiful face, splashing onto the floor.

She couldn't even stand steadily now, and with her hands restrained, she had to strain just to keep from sliding down.

Mo Zixing, on the other hand, grew more and more energetic.

With the Candle Dragon Bloodline, he instinctively understood the methods of Dual Cultivation.

The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth flowed through his Meridians, passed through Jiang Yuwei's body, and then circulated back into his own Dantian.

Is this the power of the golden [Husband-Prospering] trait?

The efficiency of the Spiritual Qi circulation was more than ten times that of a Breathing Technique!

He was completely immersed in the pleasure of this Spiritual Qi circulation, running cycle after cycle.

Like a child who just learned to ride a bike, he only wanted to pedal fast and couldn't stop at all.

The sky outside slowly turned the color of a fish's belly.

Time passed unknowingly until the next morning.

Only then did Mo Zixing slowly cease his Cultivation Technique, shook his head, and gave a long stretch.

He looked down to see Jiang Yuwei still slumped by the bedside, fast asleep and unconscious.

Her hair was a messy tangle, her exposed neck bore faint red marks, and a bit of saliva remained un-wiped at the corner of her mouth.

She didn't wake even when Mo Zixing moved; she just instinctively huddled closer to him and mumbled "Senior Brother" softly.

Mo Zixing reached out and gently brushed away the stray hairs covering her face, clicking his tongue in his heart.

As expected of the golden-quality [Peerless Beauty] trait; even when sleeping dazed like this, she was so endearing.

Just as he withdrew his hand, the System notification sounded in his mind:

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the primal yin of the Destiny Luck holder, Jiang Yuwei]

[The risk of Heavenly Dao backlash during the protection period has been resolved]

[Since the target's favorability is maxed and her guard is lowered, the prerequisite for the bonus reward has been met]

[Congratulations! You have obtained one chance to draw a character trait exclusive to Jiang Yuwei. This draw is guaranteed to produce [Loyalty]]

[Congratulations! You have obtained one chance to draw a personal Luck trait]

[Congratulations! You have unlocked a new System function: Acquired Luck Observation]

[The host can now observe changes in a target's Acquired Luck, identifying hidden opportunities and risks through analysis]

Listening to the string of congratulations, Mo Zixing was overjoyed.

It seems the effort of the past few days wasn't in vain.

Not only was the life-and-death crisis hanging over his head resolved, but the rewards were also maxed out.

It really is quite good.

With a thought, he first opened Jiang Yuwei's System panel to see how much his Junior Sister had changed after this night.

The moment the panel popped up, he was stunned for a second:

[Name: Jiang Yuwei]

[Gender: Female]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 3]

[Character Traits: Benevolent, prudent]

[Innate Luck: Granddaughter of Luck (Gold), Peerless Beauty (Gold), Husband-Prospering (Gold)]

[Acquired Luck: None]

She jumped straight from Qi Refining Level 1 to Qi Refining Level 3?

Mo Zixing couldn't help but marvel in his heart. As expected of Dual Cultivation, it truly is a mutual benefit.

Not only did his own power increase significantly, but his Junior Sister also skipped two minor Realms, saving at least half a year of bitter cultivation.

He looked at the glowing dice on the panel and, without any hesitation, rolled them with his mind.

The dice spun rapidly, and two seconds later, the single trait popped out.
