NOVEL NEXT C34
Chapter 34: Ying Luo’s Request for Dual Cultivation
The cicadas began to chirp, and the bright air in the June campus was stirring, making it quite hot.
Even Yuyin, the school beauty and student council president, couldn’t avoid sweating a bit as she sat at her desk by the window, diligently working on her problems.
In cultural classes, it is said that even at the Zero Capital Academy, the requirements are roughly equivalent to those of an ordinary second-tier university. As long as the source energy and physical fitness meet the standards, reaching the second-tier line is sufficient for admission.
However, Yuyin had been in her second year of high school before her rebirth. Although that world placed great importance on grades, just as this one does on source energy, second-year students had already learned most of the third-year material, with the entire third year primarily focused on exam preparation. But Yuyin had one less year of study than others, so she needed to catch up on cultural classes; she couldn’t afford to fail in this area.
Yuyin was intelligent; as long as she spent time reviewing, it wasn’t a problem.
“Xiao Huohuo? Are you planning to join the army?” a tall boy in basketball attire, with an exam paper tucked behind his neck, asked.
“Yeah… one must accept their fate and embrace their ordinariness. With my source energy aptitude, I can’t even get into a military academy, let alone a second-tier university. But I don’t want to be a useless man; joining the army as a soldier, even if I die in battle, would still be worth it!” Xiao Huohuo patted his chest and said.
Yuyin couldn’t help but look up in admiration. Although he had no aptitude, his masculinity was still commendable.
As the college entrance exam date approached, students began to clearly divide into groups, with those aiming for ordinary universities studying hard in the heat, while those preparing for source warrior schools were running and exercising under the scorching sun, making their final push.
Seeing Yuyin staring blankly at the high school seniors running under the blazing sun, Ying Luo walked over, her lower abdomen pressed against the corner of Yuyin’s desk, gently brushing her hair aside to reveal her ear, and said, “This isn’t just a last-minute effort. Families with means will buy pills for students at the last moment, which can significantly boost source energy in a short time. It is said that the more intense the physical training, the better the initial absorption of the pills, which is why everyone is working so hard.”
Yuyin nodded, feeling a bit stirred inside. It seemed everyone was putting in a lot of effort, even more so than in her previous world; this was the final month of the sprint.
“Ying Luo, aren’t you… practicing?” Yuyin gently brushed her hair and looked up at her.
“Me? Sigh…” Ying Luo lowered her head, her glasses glinting, “My physique isn’t suited for intense exercise, so I don’t think about it… Although my parents work tirelessly every month to earn money and got me a dual cultivation technique, it requires someone to cultivate with me. Who would agree to dual cultivate with a woman like me, with such low source energy and no hope…”
Ying Luo’s voice remained rational, but it revealed a hint of disappointment, which was even more heart-wrenching.
Yuyin’s chest rose and fell noticeably as she looked at Ying Luo with a determined gaze, “Ying Luo, I’ll dual cultivate with you.”
“Eh?” Ying Luo seemed quite surprised.
Ying Luo had always been good to her and had helped her a lot. Now that Yuyin’s own cultivation was progressing rapidly, she naturally wanted to help her sister.
“I’ll cultivate with you, how about that?” Yuyin asked again.
“Really? But my aptitude is too low; I fear I might hold you back.”
“It won’t. Just quickly bring that cultivation secret method over. Just tell me how to practice,” Yuyin said generously.
“Then, when do you have time?”
“I live alone, so I can do it anytime. Why not come to my place?” Yuyin suggested.
“Okay.” Ying Luo nodded vigorously, “Then I’ll bring it over tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Yuyin.”
Yuyin smiled gently like sunshine and nodded.
Returning to her spot, Ying Luo lowered her head, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
The next day, after school, Yuyin and Ying Luo went to Yuyin’s home together.
“Hey… Yuyin, are you sure you live here?” Ying Luo was astonished as they walked through the dim, cluttered, and dilapidated corridor.
Yuyin turned the key several times before finally opening the door. She and Ying Luo entered the house and closed the door behind them.
“Sorry, there’s not much space to sit…”
However, Yuyin now had money and had bought plenty of juice and purified water, so she wasn’t lacking in essentials. She just considered that university generally required dormitory living, and with only a month or two left, she was too lazy to move.
“It’s okay; we can sit on the bed…”
“Ah?”
“Ah, I mean, we can sit on the bed to cultivate,” Ying Luo said. She observed Yuyin and felt a surge of joy at her slip of the tongue, not showing any aversion.
“Then, shall we start?” Yuyin asked.
“Mm.” Ying Luo took out an ancient book with a blue cover and calligraphy from her backpack.
“Jade Maiden Lotus Evening.”
“Physical book secret method?” Yuyin was seeing it for the first time.
“It is said to be a copy from hundreds of years ago.”
“Let me see.”
Yuyin carefully took the “Jade Maiden Lotus Evening” and began to flip through it. The handwriting was elegant and free-spirited, quite remarkable, but the explanations about source energy were somewhat obscure, appearing more chaotic compared to “Source Ten Breaths.”
“Dingling, a non-mainstream cultivation method has been discovered. Would you like to spend 2 soul points to optimize it? If you spend 5 soul points, it can be directly optimized to a medium-grade method, equivalent to the level of ‘Beichen Sword Technique,'” the ancient voice echoed, indicating that it was aware of Yuyin’s discovery of this method.
Since Yuyin wasn’t lacking in soul charm points, she thought, “Then I’ll spend 5 soul points to optimize it.”
In her consciousness, the tall golden-haired woman appeared again, this time wearing flowing Hanfu, accompanied by a beautiful maid in green. They demonstrated the various steps and key points of dual cultivation, their graceful figures and words forming an optimized version of “Jade Maiden Lotus Evening Revised,” which was transmitted into Yuyin’s consciousness.
“Ying Luo, I think this secret method is generally good, but there are some places I want to adjust based on what I’ve seen before. Is that okay?”
“Mm, of course. I don’t understand this, so just follow what the president says,” Ying Luo nodded.
“Then let’s begin. First… let’s sit on the bed,” Yuyin said, pausing slightly.
So the two sat on the bed, referencing the ancient book while incorporating Yuyin’s suggestions for revisions, facing each other.
“Then… who goes on top?” Ying Luo asked, as the ancient book depicted two women.
“Although the ancient book doesn’t clarify, it should be the one with higher source energy on the bottom,” Yuyin said according to the optimized secret method from the God-Eating Chess.
“Mm… Although I’ve never asked the president about her current source energy value, it should be me on top.”
Saying this, following the instructions, Yuyin sat cross-legged, while Ying Luo straddled Yuyin’s beautiful black silk legs, wrapping around Yuyin’s waist, almost pressing against her as she sat in front of her.
“I didn’t expect… to be this close…”
“This is all according to the illustration.”
“However, the illustration seems to suggest that the two don’t need to be so close…”
“That’s probably because the president’s chest is larger than the women in the illustration, right?”
“Ah? This…”
Yuyin’s face turned slightly red, but because the two women’s chests were pressed together, although Ying Luo was slender, she was not completely flat. This created a soft, deep feeling, but at least their faces didn’t have to be too close; otherwise, it would truly be embarrassing.
“Shall we begin now, young lady?”
“Ah? Ying Luo, what did you call me?”
“Eh? I… I don’t know either,” Ying Luo replied, unsure why she had blurted it out.
With the two girls so close, their source energy surged, and Yuyin’s abundant source energy condensed into Spirit Water.
The breathing method in “Jade Maiden Lotus Evening” was also optimized, becoming somewhat similar to “Source Ten Breaths,” but clearly better, more efficient, and more comfortable for the body.
Why not optimize “Source Ten Breaths”? Was it because of the electronic book? The ancient voice’s disdain for electronic books made sense, Yuyin thought.
Feeling Ying Luo’s breath and heartbeat against her chest, Yuyin clearly had the advantage of a gentle embrace, yet for some reason, she didn’t feel like she was taking advantage. Why did it feel like she was the one being taken advantage of, even though she was the one with a larger chest?
Using the new breathing method, the two absorbed each other’s energy, and the airflow circulated between their palms, surprisingly flowing within their bodies.
The source energy transmitted from Yuyin’s body was purer, and soon Ying Luo’s breath became rapid, her pretty face flushed. She even couldn’t help but take off her glasses, and after a while, feeling overwhelmed, she leaned softly against Yuyin, resting her chin between Yuyin’s chest…
Unknowingly, a large amount of pure source energy entered the panting Ying Luo’s body, its effect far surpassing that of consuming a large amount of supplements…
And Yuyin, although Ying Luo’s source energy was thin and inexperienced, due to their differing attributes, provided a refreshing touch to Yuyin’s overly vigorous source energy, making it flow beautifully, warm, light, and rhythmic.
