At night, Yun Wuji returned to his assigned accommodation in the Frozen Cloud, a simple courtyard. Most of the buildings in the Frozen Cloud were constructed in a simple style, intentionally designed to prevent disciples from becoming distracted from their cultivation.
He sat at the table, poured himself some wine from a bottle, and took a drink.
As he drank, he thought of what happened this afternoon when he was with Muron Qianxue.
He had considered himself the hunter but to think he ended up being the prey. As expected, skilled hunters always disguise themselves as prey.
'Although things didn't go as I thought, the result was the same,' Yun Wuji drank his win and decided not to think much about what happened.
When he went to Muron Qianxue's room, he thought he would repeat the same process as with Yuxian. But unexpectedly, he was assaulted by her the first moment he showed his true attention. It was as if she had been waiting for him to reveal his true colors.
Although his genius was almost frightening, he was still far from being able to understand women.
After drinking half the bottle, Yun Wuji became tipsy. Normally, he couldn't get intoxicated no matter how much he drank, but this wine was different. It was something he brewed personally, strong and with a unique taste.
Though it had a great effect on cultivation, its impact on him was negligible.
"Two months..." Now that he was alone, Yun Wuji began to feel bored. Usually, at this time, he would either be with Cang Yue or in his gravity chamber cultivating. But because he had burned his blood, his Dragon God's blood was dormant and could not be used.
Of course, this didn't mean his progress was completely stalled. Even though his Dragon God's blood was dormant, the Dragon Morph was still producing new blood. Two months later, when he could finally use all his blood, he would certainly be able to use the complete Deus Ex Machina technique without burning his blood or using Dragon Morph.
Burning divine blood, like dragon blood or phoenix blood, is different from burning blood essence. When someone burns their blood essence, they lose it permanently, which also affects their cultivation talent. However, burning divine blood merely overdrafts the energy within it, causing the blood to become dormant for a while.
*I am not pulling this from my ass that's what is stated in the novel.*
"Although still incomplete, it is far superior to any other technique," he thought. Compared to other techniques, Deus Ex Machina was infinitely better. Most power-up techniques can't even raise cultivation by a minor realm, let alone a great one and the price for using it is often very high.
The only technique capable of increasing one's profound strength by an entire great realm is the Heretic God's Other Shore Asura. However, using it means one would have his Profound Veins self-destructed and his life and soul burnt.
Compared to it, the price of using the incomplete Deus Ex Machina is too insignificant! In fact, It's incomparable!
*I am thinking of changing the name to Plot Armor.*
"Should I go to see Yuechan?" Yun Wuji wanted to spend time with his little Fairy, but he also didn't want to disturb the reunion between the sisters. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to spread his senses and check if Chu Yueli was still with her.
He had just been with Murong Qianxue, and the post-nut clarity was still settling in. Yun Wuji wanted to meet Yuechan, not for anything else, but to chat and catch up. They hadn't had much time to talk yesterday, and he missed spending time with her.
A relationship is more than just sex. After all, if one's goal was only physical pleasure, they could simply find a one-night stand or, if they were desperate enough, seek out a prostitute.
In a relationship, sex is a very small part; most of a relationship is about "What should we eat?", "Separate the laundry!", "Take out the trash!", "Buy the groceries!", "Who left their hair in the sink?!", "Why did you like that bitch on Instagram?!", "I can't believe the trash is still here; can you please take it out?", etc.
"Oh?" Yun Wuji had just spread his senses when he noticed someone stealthily approaching his location.
Soon, the person stood in front of his door and sensing his presence inside, she called out softly, "Brother-in-law~"
"What is she doing here at this time?" Yun Wuji raised an eyebrow. Although Chu Yueli always visited him at night to chat back in Yun Palace, this was Frozen Cloud. Wasn't she afraid that if someone saw her it would create a misunderstanding?
Yun Wuji didn't leave Chu Yueli waiting and opened the door. He was slightly surprised to see her wearing a pure white dress that revealed a deep ravine, exposing almost half of her breasts, and a deep low cut that showed most of her thighs.
She was wearing light makeup, which made her look even more stunning than usual. For a moment, Yun Wuji was dazed.
Usually, she always wore a conservative dress that didn't reveal an inch of her skin, as if she was afraid others would taint her body with their gazes.
'Could it be? No, perhaps I am mistaken,' Yun Wuji thought about what happened to him earlier but quickly dismissed the thought. Chu Yueli was a good girl; she wouldn't do something like that.
"Brother-in-law, are you going to keep me at the door?" Chu Yueli's voice brought him back to reality.
"Ah, sorry, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful I couldn't help but be in a daze for a moment. Please come in," Yun Wuji said, said out of habit before inviting her inside.
"Does that mean that I am not usually beautiful?" Chu Yueli was happy with his praise, she couldn't contain her smile and asked in a teasing tone.
"I didn't mean that, sister-in-law is naturally a ravishing beauty, but today you look even more beautiful," Yun Wuji answered smoothly, as he had gotten quite good at flirting with women.
"You and your sweet mouth," Chu Yueli chucked lightly and sat down on a chair opposite to him, she looked at the win and asked, "You were drinking?"
Yun Wuji nodded and sipped his cup of wine. Then he asked, "What brought you here at this time?"
"What? Am I not welcome?" Chu Yueli looked at him charmingly before reaching for the wine.
"No, I didn't mean that. We are family; you are always welcome," Yun Wuji said, noticing that she was acting strange. When he saw her reaching for the wine, he warned her, "Sister-in-law, this wine is very strong. Wait a second, I'll bring something more suitable for you."
"Strong wine? I am curious how strong it is," Chu Yueli didn't listen to his advice and poured some for her.
Yun Wuji's hand, which had just reached for his storage, stopped. He shrugged his shoulders, thinking to himself that she was an adult and could take responsibility for herself.
She sipped the wine and thought about her conversation with her sister earlier.
At first, she was quite guilty and nervous about meeting her sister. Although she hadn't done anything wrong, her feelings for Yun Wuji made her believe she had done something bad.
So when she met her sister, she couldn't look her in the eyes, especially when the topic turned to Yun Wuji.
After chatting with her for a while, Yuechan seemed to notice Chu Yueli's abnormal behavior. After a series of questions, Chu Yueli couldn't resist and confessed her feelings for Yun Wuji.
Unexpectedly, Yuechan didn't become angry. She held Chu Yueli's hand and encouraged her, she told her that she would help her.
After that, Yuechan taught Yueli how to act before sending her to Yun Wuji.
Although Chu Yuechan said that she wouldn't help Yun Wuji chase her sister, it was merely to prevent him from becoming cocky.
Chu Yueli was originally nervous, but she felt relieved when she heard him say that it was strong wine. With strong wine, she could ease her anxiety and nervousness.
Both of them chatted for a while. Whenever Yun Wuji asked her about the reason for her visit, she would change the topic. After a few attempts, he stopped asking. Even if he was as dense as a boulder, a this point he could still figure it out.
After about an hour, Chu Yueli was already half drunk. Her cheeks were flushed red as she rested her elbow on the table, supporting her head with her hand. She looked at Yun Wuji with a dreamy gaze and then said lazily, "My sister said that you liked to role play and you especially liked the sister-in-law's play."
"...Cough! Cough! What?" Yun Wuji, who was leisurely drinking, suddenly choked when he heard her. What is Yuechan doing? Why did she tell someone about their boudoir's secrets?
"Ara ara, don't be shy, little brother-in-law. Sister-in-law also likes to play," Chu Yueli chuckled at his reaction and teased. Her tone and behavior had completely changed after she became drunk.
"Ara ara? Where did you learn that?" Yun Wuji stopped coughing and asked, surprised by her words.
"You don't like it? I saw it in one of the books in your library," Chu Yueli said with a lazy smile.
'I'll burn that library later; the weeb culture will poison this world otherwise,' Yun Wuji thought.
Chu Yueli's eyebrows furrowed when she saw him silent. She stood up, stepping onto his chair with one leg, her high heel poised between his legs. Leaning in seductively, she said, "Since you like to play, do you want to do the real thing?"
'As expected, I'm not the only one horny around me.' Yun Wuji looked at the smooth, white leg in front of him and then at his charming sister-in-law. The dragon that had rested for only a short while stirred back to life, and his hand reached for the thigh in front of him.
That night, Yun Wuji finally experienced the difference between the fake and the real...
*No lemons this time either. The new act will start in the next chapter. I'll write Murong Qianxue and Chu Yueli's lemons after this arc.*
