Like a body developing immunity to a toxin, Alex could feel the Yang in his body becoming stronger and stronger as it fought off each bit of incoming Yin Qi.
Shumi's body was improving as well, her Yin becoming stronger. However, the speed at which her Yin Qi grew was not fast enough for it to not lose its potency even when coming directly into his dantian through his palm.
In the same way, the Yang Qi that Shumi accepted was not strong enough either.
They needed to be closer to each other. They needed to be fully connected.
Alex helped Shumi disrobe and took off his own robe in the process. The two stood in the empty white, their figures laid bare before each other. They could not keep their eyes away.
Gently, Alex helped Shumi lie down on the ground. Shumi's breathing grew uneven as she prepared for what was to come. She nodded, accepting what Alex was ready to give.
And then, the two of them joined.
