Fire Nether looked at Ye Wu holding his hand, feeling utterly dazed.
It was as if a thousand thunders were striking incessantly in his mind.
It wasn't until Ye Wu pulled him to sit by the bed that he suddenly snapped awake.
"Are you sure?" Fire Nether couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of Ling Jue getting angry?"
Ye Wu raised her eyebrows: "Why bring up that unlucky fellow!"
Her eyes were full of disdain.
Fire Nether carefully watched Ye Wu's expression.
Should he take this gamble?
If he lost the bet.
In a bid to please Ling Jue, Ye Wu might kill him afterward.
But!
Rather than living so humiliatingly.
Rather than never avenging his tribe.
What harm is there in dying?
Fire Nether calmly said, "Alright."
This time in dual cultivation, he was readying himself for certain death.
Fire Nether's hand trembled as he reached for Ye Wu's clothing.
Ye Wu looked at him somewhat baffled: "What are you doing?"
Fire Nether forced himself to stay calm, his voice inexplicably panicked: "Did you regret this quickly?"
He had been Ye Wu's furnace for ten years already.
But aside from tormenting him, Ye Wu basically had no contact with him.
Now, the glow of the Jadeite Stone was dim, and in the entire space, only they were present.
Moreover.
It wasn't a scene of shouting and fighting.
This atmosphere made Fire Nether feel awkward all over.
Ye Wu couldn't help but laugh: "Regret what? I mean...could it be...you don't know how to dual cultivate?"
Fire Nether's expression stiffened.
Though he was Ye Wu's furnace, he had never had intimate contact with her.
He couldn't have observed other Joy Sect members' dual cultivation either.
How would he know?
But Fire Nether didn't want to show weakness, he said calmly: "It's just about being sincere with each other, blending together."
Ye Wu suddenly found it somewhat spicy to the ears.
Listen, listen, listen!
What kind of wolfish words are these!
Yet Fire Nether looked as if he was very reasonable.
"That's the method of blending between mortals." Ye Wu patiently guided, "Our Joy Sect, as a renowned sect, has a unique way of dual cultivation. Simple physical contact is actually not very efficient in cultivation."
Fire Nether's ears reddened a bit, but he still maintained a calm demeanor: "So that's how it is."
Fire Nether worked hard to appear unfazed, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed him.
Ye Wu coughed lightly, instructing: "Summon your Divine Soul Dharma Form."
Fire Nether stiffened a bit.
Divine Soul Dharma Form?
Any cultivator has their own unique Divine Soul Dharma Form.
If it was a demon clan, the dharma form would likely relate to their race.
If it was a demon clan, the dharma form would likely relate to Netherworld entities.
If it was a human clan, the dharma form would be more varied, some people have weapons, some have spirit grass or medicine, some have the myriad things of heaven and earth, anything is possible.
For cultivators.
The divine soul is the root of the roots.
Before the Dharma Form develops any combat capability, exposing one's unguarded Dharma Form in front of people is more shameful than being completely naked.
"Hurry up." Ye Wu continued to urge: "Do you still want to dual cultivate or not."
Fire Nether gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and forged ahead.
A dharma form appeared in the air.
Ye Wu watched Fire Nether's dharma form with curiosity.
As a member of the Jiao Long Clan, Fire Nether's Divine Soul Dharma Form was naturally also a Jiao Long.
But.
Compared to Fire Nether's aloof exterior, this dharma form appeared small, with a tiny antenna on its head, looking rather cute.
Ye Wu's heart itched slightly, she reached out and couldn't help but touch the little Flood Dragon's horn.
Ye Wu only touched the horn briefly.
Fire Nether shuddered all over, his ears instantly turning red.
In his cold eyes, moisture welled up, he managed to speak with difficulty: "Don't touch!"
Ye Wu blinked quietly.
So sensitive?
Ye Wu deliberately touched the small claws of the little Flood Dragon.
Fire Nether shuddered more intensely, his gaze on Ye Wu carrying a hint of annoyance.
He forced himself, gritting his teeth: "You... you're deliberately humiliating me, aren't you?"
His divine soul was still extremely weak, how could it withstand such touching!
Ye Wu wasn't planning to dual cultivate with him!
She just thought of a new way to torment people!
"Fire Nether's fondness decreased by 5!" The system's feeble voice sounded.
Ye Wu: "..."
No way, no way.
This man is so petty.
She just stroked a little Flood Dragon!
Ye Wu suddenly started to look forward to Hu Jiuling's dharma form.
He's a Nine-tailed Fox, when stroked it should be furry, just thinking about it feels nice.
Of course. Now's not the time for random thoughts, seeing Fire Nether about to go berserk, Ye Wu coughed lightly and summoned her own Divine Soul Dharma Form.
Contrary to Ye Wu's domineering personality, her dharma form turned out to be a small purple flower.
Fire Nether's gaze shifted slightly.
It was his first time seeing Ye Wu's dharma form.
The Divine Soul Dharma Forms are varied, but there are basic conventions.
The current consensus is that plant-based dharma forms are the weakest.
Ye Wu's dharma form happened to be such an ordinary little purple flower.
Ye Wu did not have any dissatisfaction with her dharma form.
To her, everything in this world was still novel.
Ye Wu recalled the Joy Sect's Secret Technique, the little purple flower grew layers of vines and, under Ye Wu's control, entwined around the Jiao Long.
On the black Jiao Long, a trace of purple brilliance appeared, and the two people's divine souls thoroughly blended together.
Fire Nether trembled slightly, subconsciously closing his eyes.
Under the Joy Sect's Secret Technique, the effect of the medicine powder on him was instantly fully activated, and the wounds on his body were slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Ye Wu was genuinely performing dual cultivation with him!
Fire Nether bit down hard on his lower lip.
Every part of the divine soul was sensitive beyond measure.
At this moment.
He felt every part of his divine soul being embraced and entwined by that little purple flower.
This feeling, inexplicably made one somewhat addicted.
Fire Nether tried his best to struggle free.
However.
The purple flower wrapped him even tighter.
Fire Nether gritted his teeth, forcing himself to put aside his feeling of shame.
This is proper cultivation!
This is for enhancing strength!
This is for avenging my tribe!
Fire Nether kept telling himself.
Ye Wu was thoroughly enjoying herself at the moment. The feeling of divine soul fusion seemed a thousand times more intense and stimulating than simple physical intimacy.
Even more pleasing to her was.
Her cultivation at the Golden Core Early Stage began to slowly increase!
This is the effect brought by a Top-grade Furnace!
Ye Wu had only one thought at the moment.
The original self is so foolish, truly!
Even if she liked Ling Jue, had she utilized the furnace well, her cultivation might have long surpassed Ling Jue's.
If she truly liked him, binding the person and locking them in a room, she could do whatever she wanted! Why bother being a sycophant!
Two hours later.
The cultivation time ended.
Ye Wu and Fire Nether both withdrew their dharma forms.
Fire Nether cast a complex glance at Ye Wu.
"Host!" The system's voice suddenly rang out: "It's changed, changed! Favorability has changed! Now, Fire Nether's favorability towards you is negative thirty!!!"
Though still negative!
But compared to the beginning, it's increased quite a bit.
"It's just a pity the host is too straightforward. If the host was a bit gentle and soft, maybe it'd be positive by now." The system appeared regretful.
Ye Wu raised an eyebrow: "What do you know? In this life, I will never accept being manipulated by a man, I only accept that I have men under my control."
System: "???"
