Chapter 864: Junior sisters dual cultivation (2/2)

“You’re really eating vinegar?” Long Feiye asked again. He placed his hands on her shoulders, wanting to turn her around, but Han Yunxi only broke free with a vicious exclamation.

“Don’t touch me!” Her voice was clearly hoarse with the sign of tears.

Long Feiye never expected things to turn into this. He grew flustered and quickly grabbed her hand. “Yunxi, let me explain.”

Han Yunxi still broke free. Long Feiye had no idea where she’d gotten the strength, but she threw his hand aside without any effort. “There’s nothing to explain about this!”

She raised her head to look at him, her eyes red with tears! Long Feiye’s explanation died in his throat at the sight.

“Long Feiye, you lied to me again! Just how many things have you lied to me about? You liar! Don’t you know how much I like you? Don’t you know how long I’ve been secretly liking you all this time? Don’t you know how hard I’ve been trying to walk these 100 steps?!” Han Yunxi cried.

“Don’t you know that even though we’re together, I still feel you’re so far away? I’ve never known why or how many steps still lay between us. Now I do. I understand. As it turned out, the person who shares a heart with you isn’t me! It wasn’t me! I’ll never finish walking those 100 steps, Long Feiye…”

“You’ve already walked to the end!” Long Feiye interrupted her hastily.

Han Yunxi gave a snort of contempt before she smiled icily. “I can’t walk to the end.”

“But we’ve already started dual cultivation...sillyhead, we started dual cultivating after that night at the hot springs!” Long Feiye looked at her tear-streaked face and felt torn between heartache and laughter. He had only wanted to tease her because he missed the memory of her being jealous, but who knew her reaction would be so severe?

Han Yunxi was stunned.

Long Feiye didn’t rush to explain, but dotingly wiped away her tears with a soft laugh. Even that was filled with heartache. “Han Yunxi, you’re so foolish and so cruel. How could I dare to lie to you again in the future?”

Han Yunxi looked at him blankly before suddenly pushing his hand aside and messily wiping her face. “Long Feiye, what did you just say? Just what did that mean?”

Long Feiye looked at her teary eyes that resembled pear blossoms, then the anxious, agitated expression on her small face, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You’re pretty cute like this too.”

“Long Feiye!” Han Yunxi was thoroughly impatient now. Did he just say we’ve been dual cultivating? What’s going on?

“Were you eating vinegar just then?” Long Feiye asked stubbornly.

“Yes!” Han Yunxi admitted it openly. “Long Feiye, you lie to people and bully them! You’re a jerk!” Since last night, her emotions had been churning about like a rollercoaster. She still didn’t know what dual cultivation entailed, only that he’d tricked her again with the lies about the junior sister. For some reason, she just wanted to have a big cryfest!

“I do take offense, and I do like you! But you can’t use that to cheat and pick on me! Long Feiye, how could you be so hateful?! Scram! The further, the better!”

Long Feiye didn’t scram, but he did embrace her as his heart ached once again. Ever since the soldiers started jeering, he’d been sending her backward glances, only to see her completely indifferent. That made him extremely unhappy, so he was insistent on seeing her stance. Now he was satisfied, but the results pained him as well. He didn’t know how to coax her next. Was he abusing her or himself in the end?

Tormenting and struggling with each other was also because of their love.

Han Yunxi didn’t reject Long Feiye’s hug. Meanwhile, he explained everything without being prompted. As it turned out, Long Feiye had discovered her innate talent for martial arts as far back as Tang Li’s first gift of hidden weapons. Her potential far exceeded that of him or Duanmu Yao to rank amongst the best of Cloud Realm Continent’s martial arts experts. She was the candidate he and his master had been looking for to match him in dual cultivation.

He had kept the discovery under wraps and even told her she was a waste, just so she’d give up on learning martial arts. Once she started, her talent would definitely be exposed. Back then, he still had precautions against her, so he naturally wouldn’t tell her the truth. Later on, he was busy hiding the truth about the Lustbite energy and his status of East Qin’s crown prince, so he didn’t tell her the whole story, either. Like that, things were delayed until now.

Since his identity was already exposed and their misunderstandings cleared, he tried dual cultivation, only to find it very successful. But he hadn’t had a chance to sit down and explain everything to her over the past few days yet.

He was going to tell her anyways if she didn’t ask tonight.

There were multiple styles of dual cultivation that existed in the world. The one related to the Lustbite energy required dual cultivation of lovers. They had to cultivate their hearts first, then move on to training their bodies once their hearts were one. After their lovemaking in the hot springs, he had taken advantage of her unconscious state to channel her some internal energy and open up a few major acupoints in her body. Because their hearts were already connected, her body didn’t reject any of his Lustbite energy or Nirvana Heart Arts energy. Instead, the two sources of power mutually strengthened each other in her body.

If Han Yunxi understood anything about martial arts, she would have realized she already possessed two levels of inner energy by now. In other words, she had technically learned the Celestial Mountain Sword Sect’s internal cultivation arts and counted as a member of the same cultivation sect as Long Feiye. As long as Han Yunxi could cultivate to the tenth level of internal energy, she would be able to officially start cultivating her body and martial arts alongside him!

Long Feiye had even hidden this truth from the sword sect master! It was both to protect himself and Han Yunxi! Even the shrewdest fox like Bai Yanqing would never guess that Han Yunxi, a useless waste who couldn’t even fight, was a rare genius talent in the world of Cloud Realm Continent’s martial arts!

After hearing the explanation, Han Yunxi looked at Long Feiye before she finally exploded. “Long Feiye, you….you...you big liar! You can’t lie to people like this!”
