Chapter 702 Direct Contact
It was the first time she was not able to dissipate into a dream phantom-like state. Even if it was an instinctual attempt to escape from overwhelming pleasure and not her conscious action, it still did not change the fact he somehow was able to confine her in her physical form.
But what she saw in his expression was surprise, which was even more shocking than if he acted mysterious or playful.
"Don't tell me… you didn't do it?", she asked, feeling a fear welling up within her.
"Hmm, I felt the moment you tried to run, but I wasn't the one who stopped you. I even asked you not to run, didn't I?", Wu Long touched his chin in thought.
Fen Baihu disappeared into a cloud of mist the next moment, and reappeared already standing next to the bed with an anxious expression.
Wu Long rose from the bed and quickly approached her, gently grabbing her shoulders "Calm down, there is no need to panic. I'm sure we can find the answer if we look for it. I'll help you"
He knew how scary it was for her to suddenly lose confidence in one of the essential abilities that she relied so heavily on.
She jolted with fear the moment he touched her, and was visibly agitated, but at the same moment was comforted by his touch. Her eyes full of anxiety looked up at him, and she suddenly seemed much smaller and more fragile unlike her usual appearance.
He gently patted her shoulder in a soothing motion, as the shivers that shook her gradually subsided.
"Perhaps, it is some kind of knowledge we don't know about Celestial Fox's abilities… we just need to know what the conditions are to trigger that", he said while searching for the answer in his head as well. After all, Fen Baihu was the only Celestial Fox he knew about, or rather, she was recognized to be the only one in the Seven Boundless Worlds.
Therefore, not much was known about her abilities, only some parts that she explored on her own and what scraps of information came from records of ancient times.
It was entirely possible for there to be things she did not know about her own powers, such as conditions where she could not use them. "Hmm, was it because I was holding your physical body?", he made a hypothesis. After all, she was not always an illusory being, her eight forms corresponding to her eight tails were her actual physical self.
"No, I can transform even when I'm in physical contact with others", she shook her head, demonstrating by disappearing from his arms, and reappearing again. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Then… maybe you cannot change forms or melt into surroundings when… you dual cultivate?", he then turned to the other option that came to his mind first.
'Ah… come to think of it…', she suddenly remembered that she tried to escape into her dream form when they were connected, that scene vividly appeared in her mind, coloring her cheeks that paled from fear before.
'W-wait what am I thinking about now!?!? Now's not the time to be thinking about… about…', she inwardly screamed as her eyes wandered to not look at his face.
But it made sense that when they were so intimately connected, she was not able to just melt into dream form.
"We can test it", he spoke and her eyes widened as she finally looked at him.
"Wha-... right now?!"
"Haha, what are you so surprised about? Shouldn't we check it to make sure?", he chuckled seeing her flustered expression.
"But…"
"Don't worry, I know not to push your limits. There's a way we can test it", he then spoke in a soothing, reassuring tone.
She used a moment to think, and then nodded without looking straight at him.
"I'm going to use my Yang Qi directly, you just have to draw your Yin Qi near it. Give me your hand", he led her to sit on the bed and gently took her hand in his.
The next moment, she felt a warm and pleasurable sensation coming from his fingertips into her hand, a numbing sensation going through her whole body.
She manipulated her Yin Qi to go toward her hand, and as soon as she did, a pleasurable sensation went through her entire body.
A moan almost escaped her lips, as she felt his Yang Qi entangle with her Ying Qi, sending pulsating pleasure through her body.
"I-... is this…"
"Mm, it it what would normally naturally happen when two people Dual Cultivate, it is also an essential part of the Second Path of Pleasure", he nodded, looking into her slightly trembling eyes, "Now, try again"
She gasped, realizing that this sensation completely made her forget why they were doing it in the first place. She quickly tried to escape into her dream state, and her eyes widened as she felt the same sensation of something holding on to her, preventing her from melting away into thin air.
"Mm, i-it really was it… Y-you can stop now", she spoke with a trembling voice as the pleasure was a bit exhausting for her now. She still hasn't recovered from their dual cultivation before, and would need some time to build back her stamina and produce more Yin Qi.
He nodded with a gentle smile, and the sensation enveloping her started becoming weaker and softer. And yet, even if it was exhausting, she still felt a bit of regret at that realization.
But to her surprise, his Yang Qi did not completely retreat, he just gradually decreased the intensity, and then went on to gently continue in a much softer and light way.
"W-wait… I…", her voice trembled, but she hesitated saying it. She didn't want him to stop.
"Don't worry, I'm just making sure you are not left hanging. It can be uncomfortable to stop midway, but if I do this, it will be alright", he calmly explained, while a thin string of his Yang Qi was entangled with her Yin Qi.
Soon, she felt the desire to continue subside, and as it completely dissipated he also stopped.
"I didn't know you could dual cultivate… like that…", she said while looking somewhere to the side.
"Hmm, there are many things about Dual Cultivation that are either unknown or distorted in the public knowledge. It is a much more profound discipline than one may think from its outer perception", he chuckled, playing along with her conversation, acting as if he didn't see that it was a way to mask her embarrassment.
'Heh, she didn't feel shy to that extent even after dual cultivating… was it that embarrassing to show me the sight of her being vulnerable?', he inwardly chuckled.
