The night passed, and the wind and rain abruptly ceased.
The room was in disarray, with clothes thrown all over the place.
It's easy to imagine just how intense the situation was last night.
On the bed lay a pitifully pale and weakened man while a long-legged beauty with a satisfied expression sat beside him.
They were naturally Zhou Sui and Ji Bingyu.
Whoosh~~~
At this moment, Zhou Sui received a message in his Sea of Consciousness: "Last night, you and your Dao companion dual cultivated seven times, deepening your emotional connection. You've gained a certain amount of mastery in Swordsmanship, and your Spiritual Root Aptitude has improved to a degree."
"You've acquired your partner's Yin Force, and your Cultivation has advanced to the Qi Cultivation Second Layer."
At this point, he felt a surge of True Yuan energy flowing within him, instantly clearing one of his meridians and making him significantly stronger than before.
He would have had to practice hard for two to three years to reach the Qi Cultivation Second Layer.
But now, just several dual cultivation sessions had brought him a great improvement in his cultivation, advancing him to the Qi Cultivation Second Layer and saving him years of hard work.
It's easy to imagine the enormity of this benefit.
"Wait, gained Swordsmanship experience? Spiritual Root Aptitude improved? Could this be the hidden power of the Obsession Gu?"
Zhou Sui was taken by surprise.
Suddenly, he extracted an important piece of information from the Obsession Gu. Its power wasn't just limited to making female cultivators fall in love with him.
If the feelings in dual cultivation are potent, he can reap more benefits.
He could gain improved cultivation from the female cultivators and acquire various cultivation experiences from them, or even enhance his Spiritual Root, the possibilities were endless.
Of course, the woman can also benefit from him.
But currently, because Zhou Sui's cultivation is pretty low, he would naturally benefit more.
"If that's the case, wouldn't my cultivation speed be faster if I have more dao companions?"
Zhou Sui immediately thought of one of the uses of the Obsession Gu.
Originally, he was worried about how to enhance his Spiritual Root Aptitude. If he has numerous dao companions, the speed at which his Spiritual Root Aptitude improves would be terrifying.
His Ninth Grade Spiritual Root could then be elevated to Eighth Stage Spiritual Root, Seventh-grade Spiritual Root, or even a First Grade Spiritual Root.
Even dreaming about owning a Heavenly Spiritual Root isn't impossible.
If he truly possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root, his path to cultivation would be smooth.
"Don't worry, dear, I'll take responsibility for you."
"Tomorrow, we will hold our wedding ceremony, announcing it to the world."
Ji Bingyu, holding Zhou Sui, said with a satisfied expression.
She felt an unprecedented happiness in her heart, as if she had lived her previous life in vain.
Indeed, it was correct of her to take the initiative. Otherwise, such a lovely man would definitely be snatched away by other wicked women.
Having such a man fall into her hands was indeed the best choice.
What?!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui's mouth twitched. He felt as if their roles had reversed, and he had become the unfortunate damsel being oppressed by the tyrant.
It was she who had taken advantage of him and he even gave her his first time.
However, he didn't reject her. After all, this was a good thing for him.
Only after getting married can the dual cultivation be considered legitimate.
Moreover, marriage among cultivators is simple. There's no need for registration at any civil affairs office. Hosting a wedding ceremony and receiving blessings is enough to confirm a person as a Dao partner.
"Alright, since you're not declining, I take it as consent. You rest now, you worked hard last night." Ji Bingyu quickly put on her clothes and left the bed.
She was, after all, a cultivator in the Qi Cultivation Nineth Layer. Her physical constitution and cultivation were much stronger than Zhou Sui's.
Despite several dual cultivation sessions, she was still energetic without any signs of fatigue.
…...
At this moment, Mu Ziyi and Xia Jingyan had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Their faces were filled with strange expressions as they watched Ji Bingyu, who had just walked out of Zhou Sui's bedroom, composed and relaxed. Both of them were Late Qi Cultivation cultivators, not fools. With all the commotion last night, they undoubtedly noticed it.
"Sister Ji, you're amazing! You made your move on that man so quickly! Was it a forcible conquest? You truly are our role model!" Mu Ziyi looked at Ji Bingyu with admiration.
In the past, it was always men forcing themselves upon women, but now, a woman had forcibly taken a man. It showed just how formidable Ji Bingyu was, indeed, a true role model for women, proving that women are in no way inferior to men.
"Haha, I had no choice. Such a cute man could easily be snatched away by other wicked women if I didn't act quickly." Ji Bingyu's face turned red.
Truthfully, she felt that she was being too bold, as it seemed slightly out of character for her.
But this was love at first sight. When you see something you like, you buy it. When you see a man you like, you go after him. Unafraid to love or hate, she ignored societal prejudices. This was what Ji Bingyu was all about.
"Sister Ji, what is so good about this man? He is not handsome, and his aptitude is average. He's just a small Qi Refiner at the first layer of Qi Cultivation." Xia Jingyan was full of doubts, finding nothing charming about Zhou Sui.
Ji Bingyu had countless suitors in the past, including cultivators from various sects, but she rejected them all and didn't take them seriously.
But now, she liked a small Qi cultivator at the first layer, which was unimaginable.
Of course, Xia Jingyan didn't think Zhou Sui took the initiative, as a mere first-layer Qi cultivator, even if he had any means, it would be impossible for him to handle her Sister Ji.
"Sister Xia, what's there to ask? Everyone has their taste. Sister Ji just likes this type."
Mu Ziyi said, "It's just a man, if you fancy one, you get it. Is there need for a reason? And if you're not satisfied, you simply discard."
She felt that this is what suited Sister Ji, her domineering personality was just like that of a queen's.
Why was it that those men could have multiple wives and continue courting elsewhere? Women could also do the same.
"Hehe, you wouldn't understand. I find this man very special, he gives me a feeling I've never experienced before, he's different from other men, that's why I fell for him."
"Anyway, tomorrow, I'm going to hold a wedding ceremony with him, to become Dao partners."
"In any case, my parents are no longer alive, and I don't have to care about others. If I like him, I'll marry him."
Ji Bingyu gave a soft smile.
"Yes, Sister Ji,"
Mu Ziyi looked at Ji Bingyu with admiration; this was her revered elder sister, she dared to love and hate. She was bold enough to marry a man she had only just met.
Is this what being a mature woman is about? It's certainly different from an inexperienced woman like herself. She was indeed very domineering.
Upon thinking about it further, it did make sense. Now that they were Qi Refiners, they were different from the mortals. Hence, they didn't need to abide by the conventions of mortals.
If they couldn't be free, what's the point of cultivating?
