As Gu Qinghuan absorbed and refined the energy, her breathing grew rapid,
Her body trembling slightly, as if reaching some limit.
Then, she collapsed limply into Lin Yuan's arms.
After a long while,
Gu Qinghuan took an item from her storage ring.
It was a smooth jade orb.
Caressing her flat belly, she glanced at Lin Yuan with a playful pout,
"Little Yuan, you're so ungrateful. Everyone in Yue Country would beg to give me their essence."
"Yet you act so disdainful."
She gently shook the jade orb in her hand, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes,
"It forced Master to use a little trick."
"This Locking Yang Jade is specially prepared for you, to seal your Pure Yang energy, so such precious essence isn't wasted."
Lin Yuan glanced at her disdainfully, "If I weren't weaker than you, I'd rather smash it on the ground than give it to you."
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Gu Qinghuan showed no reaction.
Instead, she used the jade orb to seal the channel that might leak his precious Pure Yang energy.
Gu Qinghuan's body trembled slightly, as if a powerful force surged within her.
This essence absorption would sustain her cultivation for ten days to half a month.
After finishing, Gu Qinghuan lazily stroked her long hair, her posture languid and enchanting.
Her gaze fell on Lin Yuan's still-cold face. Her red lips parted slightly, her voice soft yet playful:
"Little Yuan, your stubbornness makes Master like you even more."
She raised her hand,
Her fingertips tracing his cheek,
As if admiring a precious work of art.
"Sigh, it's a shame Master has to leave."
She waved her hand, and several elegant palace garments flew from a nearby rack.
Gu Qinghuan gracefully rose,
Shedding her sheer robe to change into the elegant attire.
First, she slipped into a white undershirt,
Then donned a light blue outer robe, her hands deftly sliding through the sleeves.
Next, she tied an intricately embroidered sash around her slender waist,
Pulling it gently,
Creating a striking curve from her full bust to her narrow waist.
Her waist, slender enough to be encircled by one's hands, contrasted sharply with her ample bosom,
Highlighting her mature and enchanting allure.
After dressing, she picked up a white veil from the vanity table and slowly draped it over her face.
The veil, thin as mist, perfectly concealed her breathtaking beauty,
Yet faintly revealed her brow, eyes, high nose bridge, and slightly upturned lips.
This partial concealment added a unique allure,
More mysterious and captivating than her fully revealed beauty.
Now, her every gesture exuded the majesty of the Tianji Dao Palace's leader.
Gone was the laziness, tenderness, and flirtatiousness from the jade bed.
Replaced by a cold, inviolable aura,
As if the woman entwined in passion moments ago was merely an illusion.
Before leaving, Gu Qinghuan looked at Lin Yuan reluctantly: "Master still has sect affairs to handle. Otherwise, I'd never want to leave you."
Lin Yuan continued his mockery: "Not leave? You're not afraid I'll die."
Gu Qinghuan smiled softly: "With me here, how could I let you die?"
Then,
She took a jade box from her storage ring and placed it beside Lin Yuan.
"This is Nourishing Essence Pill. Remember to take it."
Despite her perverse control over Lin Yuan,
Gu Qinghuan's care for him was impeccable.
She even fed him countless precious treasures as if they were meals.
This was why Lin Yuan, an ordinary man, had lived over a century without aging, even growing more handsome.
To care for him, she occasionally sent him Ten-Thousand Whip Soup.
The taste…
"Take care. I'll be back."
With the rustle of her robes, her figure disappeared at the doorway.
Leaving Lin Yuan alone on the jade bed.
After a long while,
Lin Yuan sat up, looking at the wooden box beside him. He spoke to the air: "System, redeem."
[Redemption successful. 100 points obtained.]
"System, how many points do I have now?"
[Exactly 10,000 points.]
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's enough for a ten-draw, right?"
He immediately opened the system panel.
[Host: Lin Yuan]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Layer 3]
[Lifespan: 123 years (Potential lifespan: 847 years)]
Entries:
[Golden Entry: Pure Yang Sacred Body (Experience: 100,000/100,000, upgradeable): A special physique containing Dao principles, ideal for cultivating Yang-attribute techniques.
After sunrise, the physique automatically restores all conditions, amplifying dual cultivation effects several times.]
[Purple Entry: 'Hard' Eating Soft Rice (Experience: 14,876/50,000): Maintain your firmness. The firmer you are, the more women love you.]
[Purple Entry: Master of Affairs (Experience: 74,964/50,000): After a century of this, you have formidable experience in corrupting women who interact with you!]
[Backpack: Empty]
[System Points: 10,000]
[Entry Experience: 0]
[Roulette Draw]
This was Lin Yuan's Entry System.
Imprisoned by Gu Qinghuan, he couldn't plunder entries.
So he only had these three.
Entries could be obtained in three ways:
1. Self-generation:
Lin Yuan's ['Hard' Eating Soft Rice] and [Master of Affairs] were self-generated.
['Hard' Eating Soft Rice] arose because his terrible attitude toward Gu Qinghuan not only didn't repel her but made her like him more.
[Master of Affairs]… no explanation needed.
2. Plundering entries:
Plundering required a condition:
Either kill the target to plunder directly,
Or the target must be completely loyal to Lin Yuan.
Otherwise, plundering was impossible.
3. Drawing entries:
The 'Gold' and 'Purple' after entries indicated their effect levels.
Entry levels, from lowest to highest: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Orange, Red…
Higher levels affected stronger individuals.
For example:
White entries affected Qi Refining cultivators,
But had little effect on Foundation Establishment cultivators,
And Golden Core cultivators were completely immune.
Green entries affected Foundation Establishment,
Blue affected Golden Core,
Purple affected Nascent Soul,
Gold affected Spirit Transformation… and so on.
The experience after entries was earned through use,
And could upgrade entry effects when sufficient.
Lin Yuan hadn't upgraded [Pure Yang Sacred Body] to avoid Gu Qinghuan noticing abnormalities.
Even at the golden level, it allowed her to reach Spirit Transformation.
If upgraded to orange, who knew how terrifying her cultivation would become with his Pure Yang energy?
Escaping her control would then be even harder.
Lin Yuan opened the system's [Roulette Draw] option.
His chance to escape Gu Qinghuan's clutches depended entirely on this draw.
[Consume 10,000 system points to draw? Yes/No]
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan clicked 'Yes.'
The roulette began spinning.
[Congratulations! You've obtained the Golden Entry: Dual Realms!]
