13 Protagonist-Surpassing Battle Prowess! (2/2)
”So what path would you prefer? If you were in my place, I mean?” Xiaoyi asked Shu Yidan with a serious expression.
”Hey, your path means your path. In any case, breaking through to Nascent Soul is something that you'll certainly succeed in. That means that no matter what decide, you have something to fall back upon. Even if you waste hundreds of years and fail to grasp anything, you can always fallback on your Ancestor's blessings and breakthrough to Nascent Soul!” Shu Yidan's words sounded weren't too cheerful.
”Brother Shu, how far are you from grasping a Dao Domain?” Xiaoyi's questioned him.
”A little bit too far. If it weren't for my desire to cultivate a certain Dao Domain, I would have grasped one already. But for now…” Shu Yidan pretended to grit his teeth.
”Heh, watching a cultivator get enlightenment in a Dao Domain is a splendid matter, or so I've heard. It is enough for Qi Refining cultivators like me to get an insight, at the least.” Xiaoyi tugged against the rope that bound her, as if trying to scratch a part of her skin with the rope.
”Well, it certainly is a splendid lightshow. My Dao Companion is close to comprehending a Dao Domain, or so she told me. There she is, sleeping on the bed over there. How lucky, I wish I could sleep tonight as well…” Shu Yidan's complaints were ignored by Xiaoyi.
Feng Shiyao was there in the nude upon the bed, her sleeping posture similar to something out of the Kamasutra. Curiously, the fluids residue of her coupling with Shu Yidan had vanished.
”Brother Shu, your Dao Companion usually sleeps naked at night? And… ah…” Yixiao seemed to want to ask what Shu Yidan was doing with Feng Shiyao naked, but didn't have the guts to ask, thankfully for him.
”Yeah, we were enjoying conjugal bliss until someone broke open the door.” The tone of complaint in Shu Yidan's voice caused Yixiao to wryly smile.
The conversation between them was suddenly covered by an awkward silence. Both the fellow apprentices looked each other in the eye before turning away, unwilling to broach the topic of what this conjugal bliss was.
Just then, the Feng Shiyao who was in the dreamlands opened her eyes. Blank and void, they were reminiscent of Shu Yidan's memory when he received the former Shu Yidan's quest.
In her eyes, countless runes started flashing. Azure wind and crimson fire flashed around her. The two Intents that Shu Yidan never knew Feng Shiyao cultivated, had actually reached the point where she was a single step away from Dao Domain.
Just like Xiaoyi wished for, there was a Dao Domain breakthrough for her to spectate and draw insight from.
Suddenly, everything behind their rapidly growing familiarity made sense. Actually, it was the grace of the World shining upon Xiaoyi.
Shu Yidan had once thought about Xiaoyi, 'if not for being a girl, she might have been the Hero he was opposing.'
His thoughts were wrong. Xiaoyi, a girl, was still the protagonist of the world.
