"If you know about Whale Jelly, you should also be aware of its properties," Dai Chengfeng said to the two women.
Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing, their heads barely above the water, nodded slightly and continued to watch as Dai Chengfeng explained.
"Essentially, no matter how it changes, Whale Jelly still retains its most fundamental effect of invigorating yang energy and strengthening the foundation. Therefore, its potency is immense and fiery. During the absorption process, this surge of yang energy flows through the body, inevitably causing… a rush of blood and stirring of desires."
At the mention of "stirring of desires," Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing instinctively tightened their arms around their chests. Their pale skin tensed slightly beneath the ripples of the water, and the blush that had just begun to fade returned with a vengeance.
"So… what should we do?"
"Therefore," Dai Chengfeng smiled, gesturing to the icy pool around them, "this is precisely why I had you immerse yourselves in the pool."
"I intend to use the coldness of the water to suppress the… 'side effects' triggered by the potent energy of the Whale Jelly. This way, during the absorption process, you can focus more on refining your bodies rather than being distracted by other… urges."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing instantly understood. "So that's how it is…"
At the same time, the lingering embarrassment in their hearts transformed once again into deep shame and gratitude.
They had misunderstood Dai Chengfeng's intentions yet again!
"Sorr… sorry! Brother Chengfeng~"
Hu Liena cooed, her shyness mingled with remorse. "We've wronged you again!"
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded solemnly, her clear eyes filled with apology. "Brother Chengfeng… thank you."
"It's fine, there's no need to keep apologizing."
Dai Chengfeng didn't mind, knowing he had teased them on purpose earlier. He simply smiled and flicked his fingers toward the two brocade boxes.
Instantly, two pieces of Whale Jelly—smooth as jade, deep yellow in color, and about the size of a longan fruit—floated toward Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.
After refinement, the Whale Jelly no longer emitted a pungent fishy odor but instead exuded a subtle, warm fragrance brimming with vitality.
"These two pieces of Whale Jelly have been purified and refined using a secret method, removing most impurities and excess heat. What remains are concentrated essences."
"The way to consume them is simple—just swallow them directly."
"Alright!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing reached out and took the refined Whale Jelly.
Then, the two stunning beauties parted their alluring red lips simultaneously and placed the deep yellow Whale Jelly into their mouths.
As soon as the Whale Jelly touched their tongues, it instantly melted into two streams of warm, fragrant, fiery energy that coursed down their throats!
"Mmm…"
A wave of warmth quickly spread throughout their bodies. Unable to resist, Hu Liena let out a soft, brief moan tinged with surprise and pleasure.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't make a sound, but her slightly parted lips and suddenly brightened starry eyes revealed the strange sensations brought on by the Whale Jelly.
Gentle yet resilient waves of heat began to quietly flow through their limbs and bones.
Watching the two women swallow the Whale Jelly without hesitation, the smile on Dai Chengfeng's face faded, replaced by a trace of seriousness.
He took a deep breath and wasted no time, sitting cross-legged closer to them.
"It's time for me to 'prepare.' This is going to be quite the test for me!"
With that thought, Dai Chengfeng silently activated the Xiantian Gong within him, striving to maintain a clear mind.
He knew that while the icy pool water could suppress the effects of the Whale Jelly, its efficacy would likely be limited for someone like Hu Liena, who was naturally seductive and had consumed such a potent yang substance.
And Zhu Zhuqing, though stronger in willpower, might still be affected by Hu Liena…
Even the smallest ripple could become a breach in her defenses.
When the time came, he would have to help both of them suppress the overwhelming power of the Whale Jelly.
Sure enough, everything unfolded exactly as Dai Chengfeng had anticipated.
Just moments later—
"Hmm~"
A sweeter, more sultry moan escaped Hu Liena's lips, laced with an uncontrollable heat.
Her originally fair cheeks were now flushed crimson, resembling ripe peaches. Her enchanting fox-like eyes were veiled with moisture, their shimmering allure capable of ensnaring anyone's soul.
At this moment, Hu Liena felt the heat from the Whale Jelly coursing through her veins no longer as gentle but like molten lava, recklessly surging through her meridians. Every pore in her body yearned for release.
Even with the icy pool water suppressing the heat, it created an eerie, stimulating contrast that made her feel even more restless.
"Dai… Dai Chengfeng… so… so hot… I'm burning up~"
Hu Liena murmured unconsciously, her body writhing restlessly beneath the water.
Her gaze was irresistibly drawn to the boy sitting cross-legged before her, exuding a strong, masculine aura.
Her rationality wavered precariously under the overwhelming power of the ten-thousand-year Whale Jelly.
"Her resistance broke sooner than expected. I suppose it's only natural for a born seductress like her?"
Dai Chengfeng shook his head as he gazed at Hu Liena, whose eyes were clouded with desire.
The next moment, he extended his hand. "Come here."
Seeing this, Hu Liena moved like a sinuous water snake, gliding gracefully through the water toward Dai Chengfeng.
Cool droplets slid down her smooth neck, dripping onto her collarbone…
Her eyes saw only Dai Chengfeng, and she instinctively drew closer to him.
Soon, as Hu Liena lunged into his arms and wrapped her slender arms around his neck, Dai Chengfeng acted.
One hand firmly pressed against Hu Liena's scorching back, slick with water, while the other hand, glowing faintly blue with a cool, soothing energy, swiftly tapped several key acupoints on her abdomen and lower back.
"Calm your mind!"
Dai Chengfeng's voice, though not loud, resonated like the tolling of a bell, imbued with the clarity of the Daoist Xiantian Gong.
"Mmm…"
Hu Liena's body trembled as a cool stream of energy flowed into her like an icy spring. Wherever the cooling energy passed, the surging power of the Whale Jelly seemed temporarily restrained, and the intense impulses were forcibly subdued.
Her hazy eyes regained a sliver of clarity, but her body, comforted by the soothing coolness, instinctively clung closer to Dai Chengfeng. She nestled her head against his broad shoulder, emitting soft, kitten-like whimpers of satisfaction mixed with lingering unease.
The intoxicating scent of her alluring fragrance blended with the warm aroma of the Whale Jelly, assaulting Dai Chengfeng's senses up close.
Through the thin, water-soaked fabric, the curves of her lithe figure pressed tightly against him, astonishingly warm and soft.
Even Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a fleeting stir in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it, intensifying the circulation of the Xiantian Gong to quell any stray thoughts. Focused, he guided and channeled the Whale Jelly's energy within Hu Liena.
