Chapter 149: Chapter 106: Taiyin_1
Translator: 549690339
One spring night, amidst the beautiful and auspicious scenery, eventually the rain ceased and clouds scattered.
The next day, at noon, inside the bedroom.
Xu Yang, who had not slept the entire night, was lying on his side on the couch, with one arm embracing the still-sleeping beauty, gently combing her disheveled hair.
As if sensing his gaze, the eyelids of the girl, who was newly married, fluttered; she slowly roused and turned toward him. Seeing him so close and herself so indecent, images poured into her mind, replaying the indulgence and absurdity of the previous night.
In an instant, she blushed a deep red, an unbeatable splendor.
But despite her bashfulness, she still propped up her weak body, ready to take up the responsibilities of a wife, “My lord, let me help you dress.”
“No need.”
Xu Yang shook his head and sat up, then with a sweep of his arm, he embraced her once more.
“My—my lord!”
This bold act made Miss Xin Shisi’s heart leap in panic, her hands and feet at a loss, “We—we can’t, in broad daylight!”
Though she said this, her soft, boneless body had no power to resist, instead, she helplessly collapsed into his embrace, clinging closely to him without any space left between them.
Now a married woman, her eyes and brows had gained a unique charm; the fox’s allure gradually revealed, breathtakingly penetrating to the bone, making it even harder for one to control themselves.
Xu Yang smiled, not teasing her, only holding her delicate waist, “I’ve been studying the Supreme Yin Body Training Skill for a long time, but there are still a few points I don’t understand. Yun Er, come and help me verify it.”
“The Supreme Yin Body Training Skill?”
Miss Xin Shisi was startled, then came to realization, feeling somewhat relaxed but also a bit disappointed, “What do you need me to do to help, my lord?”
“Quite simple.”
Just then, Xu Yang let out a slight smile, playing with her black-as-ink hair, “Try transforming for me.”
“Ah?”
Miss Xin Shisi stared blankly at him, taking a while before responding, her face flushed with embarrassment as she stuttered, “Transform into—into what?”
Xu Yang lifted her hanging hair, looking at her delicate ear, especially the pendant that shimmered like white jade, he chuckled lightly, “Let’s start by transforming your ears.”
“My—my lord!”
Miss Xin Shisi lowered her head, trying to hide from his gaze, her voice trembling, “Please don’t tease Yun Er… ”
“I’m serious.”
“It’s for research into spells, with no other intention!”
Xu Yang smiled, his demeanor and words utterly devoid of seriousness, instead lowering his head playfully to nibble on the blushing white jade pendant, “Just transform for me to see!”
“!!!”
Her sensitive spot attacked, Miss Xin Shisi’s body trembled, nearly collapsing into his arms, it took her a while to brace herself, yet she was still deeply conflicted.
In front of him, she was reluctant to reveal her otherness, as that identity always made her feel uneasy, fearing that it would become a wedge between them.
But now Xu Yang, under the guise of “academic research,” how could she refuse?
With no choice left, Miss Xin Shisi had to suppress her embarrassment and activate the Supreme Yin Body Training Skill.
Amidst a shimmer of moonlight, a pair of snow-white fox ears popped up amid her raven hair.
“Hmm…”
Xu Yang glanced at the fox ears amidst Miss Xin Shisi’s long hair, then released the reddened white jade pendant from his mouth and asked with a light laugh, “Does this count as having two pairs of ears?”
“It—it does.”
Miss Xin Shisi didn’t know how else to respond to him and could only nod her reddened face.
Xu Yang watched her, then reached out to play with the fluffy white fox ears, “Does it make your hearing better?”
“!!!”
Miss Xin Shisi’s body shook, her face heating up rapidly, at a loss for words.
He, however, was not done yet. After toying with them for a while, he lowered his gaze and embraced her waist, “Try transforming a tail for me to see.”
“My—my lord!”
“Haha!”
Let’s leave the joys of the bedroom for now.
Xu Yang was indeed very interested in the Supreme Yin Body Training Skill and had been studying it for quite some time.
This skill could absorb the power of the Supreme Yin Moonlight, shedding the demon body to assume a human form.
For members of the demon race, it was greatly beneficial.
For him, it was also valuable, even immensely so.
After all, he had been farming on the island, cultivating many Spirit Beasts.
If these Spirit Beasts could all transform into human form through the Supreme Yin Body Training Skill, then the island’s shortage of manpower could be effectively addressed.
Even though skills such as Beast Taming and Spiritual Farming needed to be personally performed by him to gain the characteristic effects, it didn’t mean that he had to do everything on the island himself.
He needed to enter dreams and continue his cultivation, while at times he also had to engage in alchemy and artifact refining, create talismans, and set up formations—it was simply impossible to keep track of all matters, big and small.
It was necessary to add some helpers to deal with trivial matters that were not urgent.
Furthermore, the Supreme Yin Body Training Skill could absorb the power of moonlight, which was greatly beneficial for the cultivation of demons.
In this world, where the Yuan Spirit was scarce and the lands barren, the power of Supreme Yin Moonlight was weakened, hence the cultivation effects were not very significant.
But in the real world, it was different. This Supreme Yin Body Training Skill would definitely enhance the cultivation speed of his spirit beasts significantly.
The significance was profound.
Therefore, after obtaining this mana point, Xu Yang devoted himself to meticulous research.
With his talent and comprehension, combined with the experience from the previous life in the Black Water World and the Fish-Dragon Change, his progress was not lightning fast, but it was certainly far beyond ordinary people.
Now with Miss Xin Shisi cooperating, aside from a bit of playful teasing, it was indeed a scholarly pursuit.
In such a manner…
A moment later, the research concluded.
Miss Xin Shisi shook her fluffy fox ears, her snow-white long tail trembled incessantly, and her body that was like creamy white jade was covered in a layer of alluring color.
It was an experience, a feeling she had never had before, which brought unprecedented reactions and shyness.
Fortunately, his playful mischief went no further. He did not press for more excessive demands.
Miss Xin Shisi lay in his arms, taking quite a while to get used to the posture. Her heart still fluttered with shyness, so she hastily changed the subject, “Young Master, since you’ve slain that Demon Wolf, we need to be wary of the Chu Family’s retaliation.”
“Chu Family?”
Xu Yang laughed, unconcerned, continues to play with those snowy fluffy fox ears, “What Chu Family?”
Miss Xin Shisi lightly bit her silver teeth and enacted a great tactic of distraction, “Mount Mang’s Chu Family is a mighty clan amongst the Demon King Clan, a notorious existence far more formidable than the enemy our Xin Family provoked in the past.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang’s eyebrows rose with interest, “How much more formidable?”
“I’m not very clear on the specifics,”
Miss Xin Shisi shook her head, “But I’ve heard that at least one Demon King presides in each of the several great royal families within the Demon World.”
“Just a Demon King?”
Xu Yang heard this but didn’t pay much attention.
In this world, a Demon King corresponded to the Five-realm level of cultivation, which is to say a Taoist True Man’s level of cultivation.
Not weak, but not overwhelmingly strong either. With Xu Yang’s current strength, he would be able to handle it without much difficulty.
Miss Xin Shisi, lying in front of his chest, spoke with some worry, “Mount Mang’s Chu Family, even among the Demon King Clans, is considered powerful. It’s likely that there’s more than one Demon King in their midst. Young Master, since you’ve killed one of their direct bloodlines, they will surely seek vengeance. You must be cautious and prepared.”
“Don’t worry,”
Xu Yang smiled and his right hand fell, caressing her white-jade-like, smooth body, “This world, after all, is dominated by humans, not demons. Even if they seek revenge, they won’t dare to come in full force—otherwise, their lair would surely be left unguarded.”
“They wouldn’t likely do something so self-defeating.”
“Even if they did decide to come in full force for revenge, I would still be able to handle it.”
Xu Yang shook his head, lowering his gaze, “On the other hand, you all, should you encounter trouble in the future, remember to act according to your abilities. Do not engage in a life-or-death struggle unless absolutely necessary. Don’t repeat the mistake you made this time.”
In over twenty years of accumulation and management, North City had long become the core area close to Xu Yang’s heart.
Throughout the county, his people were in place, and for various potential emergencies, there were contingency plans.
And he, was the most solid assurance among these contingency plans.
Due to the poverty of the land and limited resources, in twenty years he hadn’t cultivated many outstanding disciples. The combat level of Guo Bei Academy was mostly between second and third tier; they simply couldn’t pose a significant threat.
Hence, among these contingency plans, if they faced an adversary of fourth or fifth tier, it was not the responsibility of his subordinates to contend. Their primary duty was to ensure their own safety, leaving the problems to be handled by Xu Yang himself.
This wasn’t an upside-down approach where priorities are confused but a recognition that at this nascent stage, there was no logic in making such unnecessary sacrifices.
It was like playing a strategic management game. In the starting phase, when attacked by enemies, you’d naturally send out the strongest heroes to deal with them, not the farmers who were pivotal for development and construction but limited in fighting capabilities. This approach not only held no value but would also hinder the overall development.
Therefore, Xu Yang himself was the greatest contingency plan!
He had also told Miss Xin Shisi and the other Xin Family’s Foxes, in the face of danger, there was no need to fight to the death. A tactical retreat would suffice. Once they made it to the academy, he would naturally take action and resolve the issue.
With his arrangements throughout Guo Bei Academy, let alone a Five-realm Monster King, even a Six-realm Demon Emperor would be intercepted and stalled long enough to evacuate and disperse.
Miss Xin Shisi, worried and confused, wasn’t aware of his true strength, and so she had forgotten his instructions, leading to Miss Xin Shisi’s serious injury.
Such an event is something he naturally wished wouldn’t occur a second time.
After this incident, Miss Xin Shisi had no reason to doubt his capabilities. She nodded and affirmed, “Don’t worry, Young Master. Yun Er understands!”
After speaking, she glanced out the window and saw it was noon. She quickly propped herself up, “It’s so late already. Young Master, don’t you have matters to attend to? With such a disturbance yesterday, King Shifa might come to inquire. You should get up quickly!”
As she spoke, she prepared to help him dress.
Although Guo Bei Academy was currently on spring break, she had been with Xu Yang for ten years and was all too familiar with his daily routine, knowing full well that the Young Master had no concept of taking holidays and had many matters to attend to each day.
Seeing this, Xu Yang, however, took her hand and pulled her back into his embrace, laughing softly, “It doesn’t matter, I will take a few days off for spring break too.”
Then, he leaned over once more, savoring the moment like the warming embrace of exquisite jade in a beautiful setting.
