Bing Rong, on the side, listened quietly to their chatter, her eyes lay peacefully on Shen Yuan’s face as she remembered the past and how far they have come.
Shen Yuan noticed her stare and turned his head towards her, smiling slightly he said, “Ah yeah, Big Sis, why don’t you tell your disciples here about our past?”
Bing Rong smiled and sat down straight, “Hmm, where should I start?”
Wan Ling sat up straight as well and looked at her master eagerly. Bing Rong smiled and began talking about Shen Yuan’s childhood from the start.
…
“Wow, I didn’t know so much happened back then, even though Brother Yuan shared bits and pieces of his past with me before.” She looked at Shen Yuan with admiration.
Bing Rong smiled and shook her head, “That’s not even the end of it. You don’t even know how many crazy things he has done in his childhood.”
They continued chatting for a while until Wan Ling stood up and apologetically looked at Shen Yuan, “I will have to leave for a while Brother Yuan, Grand Elder told me to come look for her once we left.”
Shen Yuan sat down straight and looked at Bing Rong, “Is it safe? Will the Grand Elder be after Ling’er’s bloodline?”
Bing Rong looked at Shen Yuan in amusement, “Your brain really works in wonderful ways huh. And no, Grand Elder won’t covet Ling’er’s bloodline due to her oath to the sect.”
Wan Ling looked at her with confusion, so she continued, “Ling’er is no longer a simple disciple of the sect, you can say she is the holy maiden with her current status. So if something were to happen to her, it would be harmful for the entire sect.”
Shen Yuan exhaled a sigh of relief and nodded towards Wan Ling, “Well, then you should go.”
Wan Ling sweetly smiled at how considerate he is and left the room. Bing Rong sighed and said, “Look how energetic she has become, and now we are the only on—”
Before her words could finish, she felt something grasping her hand as her world shifted. She quickly looked around to see it was the familiar surroundings of the Dual Cultivation Chambers.
“Haaa… you scared me Yuan’er.” She turned around and looked at Shen Yuan who was lying on the bed in the center of the room.
He laughed looking at her accusing expression, “Haha, we have limited time in the outside world, so why not stretch it here?”
Bing Rong looked around and felt something different, “Hmm? What is this feeling? It feels like something has changed here.”
Shen Yuan nodded his head, “As expected of someone in the Nascent Soul Stage, you have a bit of grasp in the flowing time. Indeed, the time is running faster than the last time you were here.”
Bing Rong came beside him on the bed and sat down, “How fast exactly?”
Shen Yuan slyly smiled and replied, “Well, it’s about 60 times now.”
Bing Rong’s eyes lit up with surprise, “Woah, really? 60 times? So we can spend 2 months here and only a day will pass in the outside world?”
Shen Yuan chuckled and nodded, “Indeed, and that’s why we have plenty of time to talk since you were talking about it.”
Bing Rong calmed down and turned her head to the side, “Hmph, I was right as well. Just after your legion completed their tribulation you ditched us all and threw us out.”
Shen Yuan apologetically smiled and brought her closer towards him into a hug, “Well, I’m sorry about that, I needed to talk with Lan’er about something.”
Bing Rong didn’t resist the hug but instead got closer to him, “Hmm, what was it about?”
Shen Yuan caressed her back and smiled, “Nothing important, just learning about some intents.”
“Oh now that you mention it, I also need to improve my Yin Intent further since I broke through now.” Bing Rong said absent-mindedly.
Shen Yuan’s eyes perked up, “Wait, did you say Yin Intent? You have comprehended it?”
She raised her head and looked at him in confusion, “Of course, I have the Ancient Frost Phoenix Bloodline, who else will comprehend them if not me?”
“Hahaha good good, this will make things much easier.” He laughed and hugged her tighter.
“Huh? What are you talking about?” She asked with visible confusion on her face.
“Hehe, well you see…” Shen Yuan grinned and began explaining his situation, “and that’s how I learned Yang Intent but couldn’t learn the Yin Intent.”
Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
“I see,” Bing Rong nodded her head after learning about the ins and outs of the topic, “Well, but how will you learn Yin Intent without any foundation? You know Yin and Yang are on the same level as Space in intents. And you only managed to learn space after experiencing it in the Spatial Portals and learning a cultivation technique of the said element.”
He nodded and smirked, “Well, now don’t I have enough time to fill up another Dantian?”
“So you will now use THIS time to cultivate as well?” She asked with a slightly annoyed voice.
Shen Yuan smiled and lowered his head a bit to kiss her forehead, “I won’t leave you until you are satisfied so don’t worry okay?”
She mumbled something along the lines of ‘I hope so’ but smiled sweetly to herself and buried her face in Shen Yuan’s chest.
He smiled looking at how clingy she was getting now, ‘Well, it’s indeed been a long time since we have spent such an intimate moment alone.’
Caressing her head, he opened his system window, ‘Show me Water Cultivation Techniques suitable for me.’
In front of Shen Yuan, the system’s shimmering interface materialized, with lines of flowing text rapidly changing. And after a few seconds, a panel formed with four distinct cultivation manuals, all specializing in water-based cultivation.
