“You can’t cultivate until the mana in your body is replaced with Qi, which is because you train your mana and that you are a three-circle mage, which has a lot of mana stored inside of it.” Yuan gave her the reasons why she is currently unable to cultivate.
“Huh?… Aren’t mana and Qi the same thing?” Lily inquired because she assumed the mana and qi mentioned by Yuan were the same things.
“No! Big sister, It differs from one another. Qi is far more superior and profound than the mana that magicians use to cast their spells, and Qi is the essence of life and a form of energy created by heaven and earth. You can’t start cultivating because it’s like comparing a gold coin to a copper coin.” Lily was informed by Yuan about the distinction between mana and qi as well as the reasons why, as a magician, she was unable to begin cultivating at this time.
The amount of Qi in this world is abundant because there are no cultivators to absorb it in the air, which is supervised by mages and knights. Mages train their mana to increase the capacity of their hearts to hold mana, and knights train their bodies with mana to break the limitations of their bodies and refine the mana in their auras to improve their overall strength.
She could understand why she couldn’t cultivate after hearing his explanation, and she was slightly disappointed. She then inquired, “Yuan, little Yuan! Is there no other way so I can also cultivate?”
“Shouldn’t there be a way for Lily to cultivate?” Anna inquired, looking at her daughter’s sad expression, expecting a positive response from him.
‘Should I explain the concept of dual cultivation to them so Lily can also do it? Yet, the main question is, Will they accept this method?’ Yuan glanced at their dejected expressions for a minute and thought.
“Sigh! There is only one way to make her a cultivator, but I have a feeling you won’t want to hear it. The only way to replace the mana in my sister’s body with Qi is to dual cultivate with me, which entails engaging in intimate acts between a male and a female. Nevertheless, I will tell you so that there will be no misunderstandings between us. There is just no other option; I realize it’s disgusting to say, but it’s the only solution available to us.” At first, Yuan stated with a sigh, he didn’t want to tell them out loud, but he was forced to. He doesn’t want them to misunderstand each other if he doesn’t let them know, since that would be really unfortunate.
The three of them bent their heads in shame as they flushed while listening to him discuss sex.
“Dear, Is there a different option besides having sex with you?” Anna questioned while covering her somewhat flushed face with her hands.
“The only option, Mama! I’m not kidding about this since it’s a serious matter.”
“I know you won’t lie to me, but will Lily approve of this approach?” Yuan has never lied to Anna even once, so she has complete faith in her son. Anna is aware that Yuan won’t joke about something this significant.
‘Huh?…having sex with little Yuan?… Several families have such a relationship among their family members to maintain the purity of their bloodline, even though it is rather wrong. How can I refuse it when I’ve heard how marvelous cultivation is?’ While having sex with her younger brother was a completely new experience for her, Lily questioned whether she would consent to it.
“I agree!” Lily suddenly responded.
‘Huh? Did I hear right or am I hearing things?’ Before turning to face Lily, he pondered in perplexity.
When they heard Lily’s responses, they all turned around and looked at her with bewildered expressions.
‘Did I hear that right?’ These are the thoughts Anna and Emma are having.
“I said that if the dual cultivation thing really works, I would accept to do it with Little Yuan, but only if he agrees to my one condition!” Lily spoke while her face flushed and she lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with him.
“WHAT! She agreed so quickly…? Nora, please tell me I’m not dreaming!” Yuan’s mind screamed in disbelief upon hearing Lily’s words.
[I can assure the host that you are not mishearing her; she actually stated it, and it doesn’t appear that she is forcing herself either! She stated that with sincerity.] He was not dreaming, Nora assured him.
“Dear, are you certain of your choice? You know, once you’ve done it, you can’t go back on it.” Lily was questioned by Anna about whether or not she really wanted to do it with Yuan and wasn’t just forcing herself to do it for cultivation.
“Are you certain, young lady? I am aware that many people have this kind of relationship, but are you certain, young miss?” Emma questioned Lily since she was worried about her as well.
“No, Mom and Sister Emma, I’m not forcing myself to do anything! I mean it seriously! “They believed her because of the seriousness in her voice as she spoke.
‘I won’t be a virgin for much longer, it seems…’ He heard their conversations and thought.
[Host, I share this opinion as well! However be careful not to dual cultivate with her until you are in the Spirit Warrier world because she is a three-circle mage with a tonne of mana, which will put a tonne of strain on your body.] Yuan nodded sympathetically as Nora emphasized the need for the reminder.
Anna then turned to face Yuan and questioned, “Do you understand what your sister said? So, what are your thoughts? Are you prepared to carry out the deed with your sister and accept her condition?” It’s not something to take lightly, so she inquired with seriousness. Even though Lily is his biological sister, she will happily accept Yuan’s desire to make her his wife.
“Do I have any other options? But first, I’d like to know about the condition.” Yuan stated that since he is not a fool, he cannot consent to a condition without first understanding what it entails.
“My condition is fairly straightforward. You must assume full responsibility for me and eventually marry me in the future!” Lily hurriedly hid behind her mother’s back after saying it with a flushed face out of embarrassment.
‘This is so embarrassing, ahhh!’ murmured, wanting to dig a hole to hide out because she was embarrassed.
“Do you think I’m one of those aristocratic brats that treat women like toys and discard them once they’ve had their fill? I will accept full responsibility for everything because I am not one of those goddamn Noble brats!” Yuan stated as he gave her a tender, affectionate hug.
“R Really… Little Yuan? You’re not going to abandon me in the future, are you? As she was giving him a hug and crying, she questioned.
“Big Sis, you have my word that I won’t ever abandon you. even if I later attract many women!” He said that polygamy is very prevalent in this society and that most men have at least one or two women as concubines in their lives as he made a commitment to her.
“I…I am really happy Little Yuan, I was wrong when I assumed that you wouldn’t give a damn about me in the future! Little Yuan, I’m very happy right now! She gave him a really loving hug since hearing his vow to her made her feel incredibly joyful. They exchanged brief hugs with one another.
“That’s enough you two!” As she watched Yuan and Lily embrace, Anna commented while feeling a little envious.
‘Why am I behaving in this way? Am I jealous of my daughter, or is it something else? There is nothing else, he is my son, but he is too handsome! What even am I thinking?’ She shouts to herself, unaware that she is beginning to feel attracted to her own son romantically.
‘It appears that Mistress is envious of her own kids, fufufu!’ Emma chuckled as she observed Anna’s face of resentment and thought to herself.
“Mom! Because he is hugging me and not you, are you jealous?” Even though Lily and Emma were the only girls allowed to approach Yuan when she was just five years old, Lily admitted that she was aware of how overly cautious her mother could be.
“Well, are you now rubbing salt in your mother’s wound? I guess I need to remind you of our agreement from back then!” Anna scowled at Lily as she spoke.
Lily lowered her head and stepped away from Yuan, saying, “No need; I remember it quite well.
‘What agreement are they referring to?’ He pondered as he cast a questioning glance at his mother.
The situation became more enigmatic when Anna saw his observant look on her and simply smiled mysteriously at him.
‘What might she be concealing? Why don’t I have any recollection of it, then?’ As he couldn’t think of anything relevant to it, he asked himself this.
[Host! You won’t need to consider this too much because you’ll know when the timing is right!] said Nora.
He learned through the memories of the previous Yuan that nobility is the worst scum in this world and doesn’t give a damn about ordinary life. Most aristocrats have an extremely lusty and greedy attitude toward attractive ladies. He needs to watch out for the Nobles’ deceitful kid. He was quite certain that they would cause a disturbance if they ever saw his gorgeous sister and mother.
“Umm! I was wondering when we would be practicing dual cultivation, Little Yuan.” With a flushed expression of embarrassment, Lily enquired.
“You need to wait until I make a breakthrough into the realm of spirit warriors before we can do that,” Yuan spoke in a gentle tone, which caused Lily to flush even more.
“I will go and cultivate a bit till dinner is ready; I advise you do the same, Mom, and your treatment is cultivation; you should remember it very well,” he remarked as he stood up from the bed and moved towards the door. Without giving them the time to respond, he said as much and left the room.

Yuan felt as though his body had become as light as a feather once he had attained the realm of the spiritual warrior. He sensed a great deal of spiritual energy, or Qi, expanding inside of him; he felt like he was beaming with energy and was no longer tired as before. Despite having no physical changes, he felt his body becoming stronger and more refined; it was an incredible sensation for him that he couldn’t adequately express in words.
[Congratulations to the Host for reaching the Spirit Warrior realm within a day, you have simply achieved an unbelievable feat Host!] Nora congratulates him.
