As their romance deepened, Li Feng introduced Li Jue to the art of dual cultivation, a sacred practice within the White Lotus Sect, rarely taught and even more rarely mastered. Dual cultivation wasn't merely an act of intimacy—it was a fusion of souls, a merging of energies that amplified both power and understanding.
"You're certain about this?" Li Feng asked one evening as they knelt opposite each other in the secluded Lotus Sanctuary, surrounded by glowing white blossoms.
Li Jue smirked. "Are you worried I'll outpace you?"
She rolled her eyes, though her smile betrayed her amusement. "I'm worried you'll lose yourself."
"And I'm worried you'll keep holding back," he replied. "Let's see what happens when we stop worrying."
They began the ritual, their energies intertwining as they synchronized their breathing. The White Lotus Divine Art met the Forbidden Cultivation Art, creating a delicate balance between purity and chaos. It was a dance of opposites, a collision of forces that should have destroyed each other but instead created something entirely new.
As their energies flowed together, they felt their connection deepen. Li Feng's calm, controlled energy tempered Li Jue's fiery ambition, while his untamed power pushed her beyond the limits of her discipline. Together, they reached new heights, their cultivation advancing faster than either could have imagined.
When the ritual ended, both were left breathless, their energies still crackling in the air around them. Li Feng looked at Li Jue, her expression uncharacteristically vulnerable. "You're dangerous, Li Jue."
He leaned closer, his voice a whisper. "And you love it."
