Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 372 - 225: Ling Changqing: The Master and Disciple, Two of Them, Are Too Much to Handle...

"...My fellow Daoists,"

One of the figures, shrouded in golden light and radiating an imposing pressure, spoke. "The current Regent Princess of our Da Xia Divine Dynasty is not yet wed. This Child of Destiny, Ling Changqing, would be a fine match for the Princess. Do me this favor and stop competing for him..."

"In your dreams, old man!"

A soft, melodic voice interrupted him without a shred of courtesy:

"Make the great Child of Destiny into a live-in son-in-law for your Da Xia? To bleed for you, die for you, and sire your descendants? Give me a break! The position of Palace Master of our Shenluo Celestial Palace is the most suitable choice for him!"

"Heh. Your Shenluo Celestial Palace has always been run by Female Cultivators, and you’ve never even accepted a single Male Cultivator as a disciple. Wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate for Ling Changqing to go to your side?"

"What’s inappropriate about it? Once he becomes the Palace Master, all the Female Cultivators in the Sect with outstanding Root Bones and aptitude can become his Dao Companions. Isn’t that much better than being your live-in son-in-law?"

"I, however, believe that the Child of Destiny has a great affinity with our Buddhist Sect. It is only right that he becomes the next Buddha Lord of our Sumeru Buddhist Sect..."

"You old bald donkey, you’re quite the dreamer yourself..."

The great figures traded barbs and taunts. Among all the significant opportunities that had emerged, the Child of Destiny was undoubtedly the most important.

Whichever power managed to secure him would gain countless benefits. It would only be a matter of time before they soared to new heights and became the supreme power in this world.

Therefore, no one was willing to back down, even if it meant turning on each other and starting a war where rivers of blood would flow.

...

「Changqing Continent.」

As night fell, Yu Ruoshuang and Liu Xiuyan, both meticulously dressed, arrived in the private chambers as promised.

Considering it was Liu Xiuyan’s first time, the other women didn’t join in, wanting to be considerate of her feelings. Only Yu Ruoshuang was there to provide support and share the burden.

"...My love, do you like what you see?"

From deep within the embroidered curtains, where a faint, sweet fragrance lingered, a shy yet alluringly tender voice drifted out.

Ling Changqing sat upon the Beautiful Jade Embroidery Couch, watching as the pair of celestial beauties, whose looks could topple cities, gracefully approached.

Yu Ruoshuang wore only a single layer of transparent gauze, as thin as a cicada’s wing. It was paired with a bright red Blood Drop, red lace cutout panties with an open front, and red thigh-high stockings with garters. Her waterfall of jet-black, lustrous hair cascaded down her back, leaving her voluptuous, enchanting, and dazzlingly snow-white body on full display.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiuyan’s delicate body was wrapped in a bright red cloak. As she wasn’t wearing stockings, her slender, jade-like feet were bare. Each pearl-like toe seemed as if dusted with fine powder, and the purple polish on her toenails was clearly visible.

"M-My love..."

A blush bloomed on the exquisitely beautiful girl’s face. She called out his name awkwardly before turning her head away, unable to contain her shyness.

"Come on, sister, don’t keep it on! Come, take it off and let our husband have a look!"

Yu Ruoshuang’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke with a beaming smile. She had completely shed her usual intellectual, elegant, and demure public persona, becoming bold and seductive. Her shimmering, soul-stirring eyes were utterly captivating.

Her delicate hand reached out and untied the cloak’s ribbon for Liu Xiuyan. Losing its support, the smooth fabric slid down the captivating curves of her body and pooled on the snow-white carpet.

Liu Xiuyan subconsciously raised her hands to cover herself. Her enchanting, snow-white body wore nothing but a few thin black leather straps, which concealed nothing at all. Instead, they added an unspoken allure that made the flames in Ling Changqing’s heart blaze, filling him with an unbearable heat.

Earlier, when they were changing, the young woman had lingered outside for a long time. After all, it was her first time seeing such bold and daring clothes, let alone having to wear them in front of a man. It was so... she wished she could find a hole to crawl into and hide.

It was only after Yu Ruoshuang repeatedly persuaded her and even put on an outfit herself to demonstrate that Liu Xiuyan reluctantly accepted.

However, when she stole a glance and saw Ling Changqing’s fiery gaze, Liu Xiuyan, despite her overwhelming shyness, felt a secret satisfaction with her own charm.

’It’s just to please my own Dao Companion, so it should be fine, right?’

"My dears, which of you would like to go first?"

Ling Changqing asked with a smile after admiring them to his heart’s content for a moment.

"Sister Xiu Yan is shy, so I’ll go first!"

Yu Ruoshuang took a graceful step forward. The Blood Drop on her chest, adorned with a fine pearl chain, swayed gently, shimmering with a seductive luster in the red candlelight.

Ling Changqing nodded and reached out, pulling the enchanting, seductive, and stunningly beautiful woman into his arms...

Liu Xiuyan bit her red lip. After a moment of hesitation, she summoned her courage, moved closer to the embroidered couch, and wrapped her trembling, jade-like arms around Ling Changqing from behind.

The wild, hazy night seemed exceptionally long...

...

「The next morning.」

Ling Changqing was still fast asleep, but Liu Xiuyan had already quietly opened her beautiful eyes. She stared blankly at the exquisite patterns on the embroidered canopy above.

’From now on, my destiny and this man’s are inextricably linked. A lifetime under one blanket, never to be parted.’ And of course, there was her Master, too.

But she felt no sense of regret or remorse. On the contrary, her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, as if she had just made the most correct decision of her life.

’Perhaps... this is fate’s best arrangement!’

With a soft sigh, Liu Xiuyan tried to gently move her weak and powerless body, only to find she was still held tightly in Ling Changqing’s arms. The two of them were pressed together without a sliver of space between them.

The scene made Liu Xiuyan flush with both shyness and annoyance.

’This detestable scoundrel...’

She pushed him a few times with her weak, delicate hands, then mustered the courage to call out "my love" a few times, finally waking Ling Changqing.

Looking at the girl whose beautiful face was flushed red with an inexplicable shyness, Ling Changqing smiled gently and asked, "Did you sleep comfortably last night, my dear?"

"Mmm..."

Liu Xiuyan blushed and hummed a soft reply before burying her beautiful face in his chest.
