Who knew the Qing Ming Sword also came with a blood-draining effect?
But then again, considering it even harvests memories and the five senses, taking a bit of vital blood isn't so surprising.
However, on the other hand…
Which is more important, life or vital energy? This counts as an extra tip for treatment, wouldn't you say? And it's definitely faster than cultivating on one's own!
What's wrong with being a demonic cultivator? Am I eating your rice?
It's a matter of mutual consent, so why is it demonic? His mood was a little turbulent. There are so many people in this world suffering from Aether. Just going to the Defense Force, those guys who deal with the Void all year round...
He could earn a lot of spiritual energy, bring it back, and refine it into a source.
And it's like regularly growing chives; he can harvest a batch when the time comes.
Even if he doesn't need that much spiritual energy, he has three Apprentices! And so many junior brothers and sisters! Plus, getting some spiritual energy pills for his master to extend his life would be good.
It can also be used as a healing item, or even sold for money.
Most importantly, he treated Aether-eroded patients, didn't he? This is called killing two birds with one stone.
This is promoting great love!
Yun Ming felt he was a genius. His body moved with his heart, and the smile on his face grew wider.
A little... lewd.
Of course, he himself was completely unaware.
It was just that Bai Xian, in the outside world, felt she was about to collapse. The chaotic thoughts in her sea of consciousness were still at play. Although dual cultivation produced spiritual energy, it was, after all, insignificant compared to that mass of chaotic thoughts.
Now was not a good time to use the Demonic Blade and the Qing Ming Sword.
Those two divine weapons were used by him as auxiliary tools for cultivation: the Demonic Blade suppressed Aether, and Qing Ming absorbed frantically.
She couldn't take it anymore.
Just a little more, please. I'm so hungry. Yun Ming is simply too tempting... So, she covered Yun Ming's mouth.
Why his mouth?
It felt a bit like an old cow eating tender grass, but since they had already reached this point of naked honesty, there was no point in dragging it out further.
This was what Yun Ming owed her, making her wait five hundred years.
But without Yun Ming, she might not have lived until now. She gave a self-mocking smile. It's been over five hundred years since you left.
I waited, but I haven't waited for that 'you'.
I really want you to remember quickly... Yun Ming had no idea he was forcibly kissed, nor what happened afterward. Bai Xian was far stronger than him.
Only after truly experiencing it did he realize the vast difference, like an ant seeing the sky.
Junior Martial Uncle is at least at the peak of the third realm. Although it sounds like only one major realm difference, each realm is inherently as different as heaven and earth.
For at least the past hundred years, there had been no mention of a third-realm expert on Yun Kui Mountain. Xuan Mingzi, with his peak second-realm cultivation and the Qing Ming Sword,
was enough to deter the entire Ailidu.
No one dared to force Yun Kui Mountain to hand over the jurisdiction of this Wei Fei Territory while he was alive.
Bai Xian's strength was evident.
At that time, Bai Xian sealed Yun Ming's five senses, so he naturally couldn't perceive anything and once again became a comatose War God.
When he woke up, his Senior Sister was slumped by the bedside.
Bai Xian was also sound asleep on the bed. She had reverted to her youthful form, a tiny figure, her clothes already put back on.
Did she put them on herself?
"Junior Brother, you're awake. Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
Ye Qingxuan's eyes were filled with concern, her eyes red, and she had slight dark circles, clearly having stayed up to watch over him.
Looking at the surroundings, they were still within Wuji Hall.
The Aetheric aura was too strong... If ordinary people stayed too long, they might mutate into monsters like the Aetheric Undead, just like in the Void. That's why Junior Martial Uncle set up a barrier.
Yun Ming shook his head, his neck still a bit sore.
The bite marks left there had not faded, and Aetheric substances and spiritual energy were entwined, hindering the wound's recovery.
But it wasn't bleeding.
He suddenly froze, remembering all that had happened earlier in this small room. Oh no... when Senior Sister arrived,
he and Junior Martial Uncle were naked, weren't they?
His Adam's apple unconsciously bobbed. Without a word, he hugged Ye Qingxuan, lest she run away immediately.
"Senior Sister, let me explain."
Explain what?
Ye Qingxuan was startled. Why did this feel like a betrayal? Junior Brother was panicking.
Protesting too much?
But Junior Martial Uncle had left a letter for her, explaining the aftermath, saying there had been some trouble during her treatment. After Yun Ming woke up,
the barrier was to be handled by him, and he was to set up a formation to help Chenghui Flat remove the effects of the foul aura.
She was fine, no need to worry.
However, Ye Qingxuan was still somewhat worried. These two were either comatose or unconscious all day long.
One was old and disrespectful, constantly asking if she had committed embezzlement and planned to take advantage of the situation.
The other was young and disrespectful, wanting to tear down the roof after holding hands, touching her bottom, and sleeping with her.
Having such a Junior Martial Uncle and Junior Brother was truly something else.
She sighed, then helplessly asked,
"Are you talking about what happened between you and Junior Martial Uncle?"
"You saw everything?"
"Mm..."
Yun Ming's world collapsed. Given Senior Sister's attitude towards Hongdou, even if something happened between him and Junior Martial Uncle, it probably wouldn't be a big deal.
But to be unclear, sleeping naked together...
That's a bit... Senior Sister, I'm really not that kind of person!
Although he was a bit perverted, he hadn't reached the point of preying on Junior Martial Uncle at such a young age!
Alright, even if he had other intentions towards Junior Martial Uncle.
But before, it was truly just treating her with acupuncture and cultivating. The clothes coming off were just an accident. He should be pretty honest when he sleeps, not moving around... right? Probably?
When Ye Qingxuan arrived, the two were indeed hugging.
However, Bai Xian was dressed. As for Junior Brother's missing clothes and the strange array symbols on his lower abdomen, she didn't know why.
And the bite marks on his neck.
She naturally thought too much, but even if Yun Ming and Junior Martial Uncle really had something, what could an incompetent Senior Sister do?
Hands had been held, waists embraced, her bottom touched by this little rascal, and they had slept in the same bed countless times.
Her body had long since been seen completely.
She later realized that she had long fallen into the bad Junior Brother's trap, with no way out.
"Why are you so flustered, Yun'er? It's fine, I know you were just regulating Junior Martial Uncle's consciousness. This is what you should do for Junior Martial Uncle."
She glossed over it, turning her head, not wanting to hear Yun Ming's explanation.
Even if something really happened, please don't tell her, okay?
Don't bully Senior Sister like this... "Senior Sister—"
Yun Ming hugged her even tighter. Meeting Senior Sister in this life was an immense blessing. Even if they hugged naked... Senior Sister wouldn't mind?
His heart grew more and more guilty.
Following the principle of fairness, he should hug his Senior Sister more too.
A strange misunderstanding was born.
But this misunderstanding was harmless; instead, it lowered their psychological defenses. Yun Ming became even more unable to suppress himself, indulging in the woman's tenderness.
His eyes were hazy.
"Junior Brother, what are you doing?"
"Let me hug you for a while, like when we were little, okay?"
Ye Qingxuan's pretty face instantly flushed. This wasn't meant for you to learn and bully me with. You're such a bad little brother.
"Junior Martial Uncle is still here..."
"It's fine, she won't wake up for half a month."
"Then no lifting clothes, or I'm leaving..."
Ye Qingxuan didn't refuse. She also wanted to hug her Junior Brother, in front of the bad Junior Martial Uncle... It was an indescribable excitement.
She said she was embezzling.
Junior Martial Uncle, who exactly is embezzling here?
The two women maintained a tacit understanding. They both knew their respective places in Yun Ming's heart, and neither intended to hinder the other.
Of course, before this,
Ye Qingxuan only guessed that Junior Martial Uncle was a bit overly intimate with Yun'er, but when they were children, she was indeed too young.
It was hard to suspect.
But in recent years, the intimacy had not diminished, but rather became more excessive. Junior Martial Uncle's intentions were known to all.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many rumors among their fellow Apprentices... Oh, now it seems they weren't rumors, they were true.
She glanced at the woman lying on the bed, a smile playing on her lips, and cupped Yun Ming's face, gently kissing him.
His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes grew sharper and more imposing.
"Junior Martial Uncle kissed you?"
"...Just, once, I guess..."
Earlier, at the Hoshimi Family, he was kissed once.
Yun Ming's gaze became evasive, feeling very guilty. He knew he couldn't hide it and didn't want to. He wanted to openly have a harem.
But this required long-term planning.
Junior Martial Uncle and Senior Sister were easy to deal with, but with Hongdou, he wasn't so sure... He didn't quite understand Hongdou's thoughts.
Hongdou was too proactive... He had told her so much about Senior Sister earlier, and Hongdou seemed to, perhaps, have guessed his intentions?
Wait, doesn't that mean he was the only one who was always foolishly played by these women?
Terrifying... He couldn't think any deeper.
As for Hongdou,
perhaps he could ask Senior Sister to help him analyze it?
But he had to get through this hurdle first. If it worked out, he'd be hugging Senior Sister on the left and Junior Martial Uncle on the right, getting both the mature woman and the young girl. In two years, he'd be able to... Ugh, this is bad...
"Thinking bad thoughts again..."
The two were hugging so tightly that Ye Qingxuan could naturally feel the changes in his body. She rolled her eyes at Yun Ming, but her body didn't pull back.
She gently stroked Yun Ming's head, sniffing the fresh scent in his hair. It was very comforting, and this place was perfect for no one to disturb them.
Whatever they did, it wouldn't be discovered.
But for now, she just wanted to hug him for a while.
She felt that Junior Brother had been growing very fast recently, perhaps due to the influence of his cultivation.
Last year, he was just over 1.6 meters tall.
Now he was almost 1.7 meters, catching up to her height.
In another two years, he would be taller than her. When they hugged then, she would want Junior Brother to hold her in his arms.
After openly admitting her feelings,
Ye Qingxuan felt much more relaxed. She gently pressed her face against Yun Ming's, and like sucking jelly, she nibbled the young man.
Her face was radiant with a smile.
Yun Ming couldn't help but lean in, but was stopped by her finger. "I didn't agree to let you kiss me."
Saying this, Ye Qingxuan kissed him again. When she was little, she loved to kiss Yun Ming, but later, when she grew up, she became shy.
She wouldn't let her kiss him.
The young man even used to be disgusted back then.
But now... Yun Ming was restraining himself to the utmost, his head tilted back, his breathing even trembling, his heart pounding so fast it felt like it would explode.
"Senior Sister, just once... can I?"
His voice was somewhat pleading, like a little puppy wagging its tail. The young man's dark eyes held a fascination and ambition unsuited for his age.
He was clearly the Young Sect Leader who could suppress the Void, yet he was so docile by her side. Who could resist that?
Yun'er, truly... too cute!
But no, Ye Qingxuan loved seeing Junior Brother like this. If he begged her a little more, became a little more infatuated, that would be fine too.
Senior Sister would give you everything.
But she wouldn't let go of his mouth, only continuing to rub against him.
"Not even once."
Who could stand this... Senior Sister was doing it on purpose, absolutely on purpose.
Actually, Senior Sister didn't think it was impossible, right? She had been kissing him all along, so why couldn't he kiss her?
Yun Ming's inner cosmos exploded.
He stood up!
A young man being infatuated with his older sister was understandable, and besides, the older sister was also infatuated with him. When two people love each other, where is the coercion?
He covered Ye Qingxuan's mouth.
Perhaps it was a bit too early? Anyway, Senior Sister was an adult woman, and his soul was also an adult man. It didn't matter, yes, it didn't matter!
...By the time the woman stumbled out of Wuji Hall, flustered, the moon was already high in the sky; it was deep night.
She deeply felt she couldn't be alone with Junior Brother anymore.
Something would happen... After Yun Ming was satisfied, he meditated and cultivated. Once his state was perfect, he re-entered Bai Xian's chaotic consciousness space.
The adult Bai Xian was sleeping there... So Junior Martial Uncle also had a mature woman form, dazzling and blossoming with beauty. That's great!
Simply perfect.
Yun Ming teased the now obedient consciousness body after it fell asleep, then began his great task of clearing out chaotic thoughts.
Junior Martial Uncle said the Demonic Blade was more effective.
Killing intent eliminates chaotic thoughts, and the two directly cancel out negative effects. No wonder Junior Martial Uncle was so determined to steal it.
"Hmph, demonic woman Bai Xian, take this, Heaven and Earth Longevity!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"
"Sword Slashes the Stars!"
"Monkey Steals the Peaches, Digging Out Hearts and Lungs, Human Emperor Banner, A-Wei's Eighteen Forms..."
The names of the moves became increasingly bizarre. Yun Ming freely galloped through Bai Xian's consciousness space, transforming it into his own image.
Just like that, several days passed in an instant.
Since that night, Ye Qingxuan had not come to see her Junior Brother again. Instead, she sent Hongdou to visit and brought a commission from the person in charge of Chenghui Flat, the main city.
To eliminate the foul aura and restore peace to the residents.
Speaking of which, it was Junior Martial Uncle's fault, but more importantly, the Lemnian Hollow had become increasingly active recently, showing signs of expansion.
And mining brilliant porcelain inevitably involved contact with Aether.
This led to an overall increase in Aether concentration in Chenghui Flat. The miners themselves were already slightly eroded by Aether, and coupled with the influence of Qing Ming's chaotic thoughts, this led to the current situation.
The commission fee was 1 million. Good heavens... Yun Ming suddenly remembered some unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies in his previous life, who created diseases themselves and then produced the medicine.
He couldn't earn money with such a guilty conscience.
But then again, Chenghui Flat's tax revenue was quite high. Instead of letting those officials embezzle it, wouldn't it be wonderful if he used it to fund an Orphanage!?
Doing charity, doing good deeds~
No need to thank me.
"What are you spacing out for, idiot..."
Hongdou raised her head, pouting as if a bottle of oil was hanging from her, visibly very displeased.
He came back and didn't even remember to come see her.
There's no such thing as childhood sweethearts like this. In TV dramas, people would count the days on their fingers, reluctant to part for just a few days.
Now it seemed, only she was counting on her fingers.
"When I earn this million, I'll give you ten thousand, me ten thousand, the sect eighty thousand, and the rest we'll donate... How about giving it to Uncle Chen's friend's Orphanage?"
"I don't want it. You can donate my ten thousand too."
"Oh, then I'll take twenty thousand, and you get nothing."
Yun Ming liked to deliberately tease Hongdou, to see her pouting. This little money-grubber was actually against money, how strange.
As expected, she fiercely pinched the soft flesh on Yun Ming's waist, saying menacingly, "Twenty thousand for me, and you get nothing! It's all mine."
"Oh, we're family anyway."
"...What are you saying, you idiot!"
"I said we're family anyway. Won't Hongdou spend money on me if I ask?"
