111: Liu Yunshu and Mu Lingxi, vying for each other's affections

After returning to the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, Lu Yu's daily life became increasingly comfortable.

On Dream Bamboo Peak, in his small courtyard, the fragrance of spiritual tea and the faint scent of Medicinal Pills wafted every day.

During the day, he would either go to the Hanyuan Sword Plaza to find Fourth Senior Sister Yun Guying to practice swordplay. Although Yun Guying's gaze at him was always a bit strange, colder than before, she didn't hesitate when giving guidance.

However, during sparring, Fourth Senior Sister would go all out to mess with him!

This left Lu Yu very confused; he didn't seem to have made Fourth Senior Sister angry.

Even if Fourth Senior Sister wanted to earn Emotion Points from him, she didn't need to mess with him so ruthlessly. Looking at her eyes, it was as if she wanted to skin him alive!

At other times, he would guide Lin Wanqiu's Cultivation. This girl's Foundation in the Foundation Establishment Stage was becoming more and more solid, and the aura of the Phoenix True Flame was becoming increasingly pure, which was reassuring to see.

The real highlight of his Cultivation was at night.

Lu Yu made a copy of the Chaos Yin Art from the Yin Yang Chaos Scripture and gave it to Liu Yunshu.

The Yin Art portion of this Immortal Grade Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique seemed tailor-made for Liu Yunshu's Desire Heart White Lotus Body.

Once the Cultivation Technique was activated, the restless desires within her body, which often made her restless, immediately found a proper path for guidance and transformation. Instead of being a burden, they became an excellent fuel for pure cultivation.

Mu Lingxi's Grand Yin Condensing Fragrance Physique was even more compatible with this Cultivation Technique.

She was a few years older than Lu Yu and had more delicate thoughts. When she Cultivated, the Grand Yin Power blended with Lu Yu's Nine Yang Haori Body in a Yin and Yang harmony, with frighteningly high efficiency.

Consequently, Lu Yu's nightlife—ahem, his nightly Cultivation—became exceptionally "fulfilling."

Liu Yunshu was as gentle as water and understanding, while Mu Lingxi was charming and full of affection.

Both had top-tier Physiques and Cultivation Techniques, so the effect of this Cultivation was simply one plus one is greater than two.

Lu Yu could clearly feel his cultivation level steadily rising at a considerable pace. His Seventh Level Nascent Soul Foundation grew more robust as he steadily approached the threshold of the Eighth Level.

But a problem also arose.

Seeing Liu Yunshu able to live openly in the Junior Martial Uncle's courtyard and spend the most time with him made Mu Lingxi very jealous!

Every night, the one who spent the most time with the Junior Martial Uncle was still Liu Yunshu!

Thus, this afternoon, while Lu Yu was dozing under the old tree in the courtyard, he heard faint voices coming from the small kitchen nearby. The voices were kept low, but with his hearing, he could hear them clearly.

It was Mu Lingxi and Liu Yunshu.

"Sister Liu, is the heat for this Spirit-Nourishing Soup a bit too much? Junior Martial Uncle has been quite irritable lately; he should eat something cooling."

Mu Lingxi's voice sounded gentle, but she emphasized the words "Sister Liu" a bit heavily.

Liu Yunshu's voice remained calm: "Miss Lingxi is very thoughtful. Lu Yu has been practicing his sword for days, and his mental energy is heavily drained. I added Tranquil Spirit Grass to this soup for gentle nourishment. On the other hand, the Ice Lotus Dew you brought the day before yesterday was a bit too cold; perhaps you could add half a mace less of Snow Lotus Seeds next time."

"Junior Martial Uncle likes the dew I prepare."

Mu Lingxi's tone carried a hint of subtle grievance and stubbornness.

"He said it's crisp and refreshing."

"Even if he likes it, it must be in moderation." Liu Yunshu paused, her voice softening.

"Miss Lingxi, it's good that you come every day, but there are many eyes and ears in the Sect. After all, you haven't yet..."

"Haven't yet what?"

Mu Lingxi's voice rose slightly.

"Does Madam Liu think I'm not here legitimately and shouldn't come? Junior Martial Uncle and I have been together for a long time!"

Lu Yu, eavesdropping outside, couldn't help but palm his forehead.

Here it comes, that familiar sour scent of jealousy.

Sure enough, there was a moment of silence inside before Liu Yunshu sighed: "I didn't mean that. It's just... Miss Lingxi, I understand your feelings for Lu Yu, but this... it's not a long-term solution. You are in your prime, and your cultivation talent is top-notch. Why suffer..."

"I don't think it's suffering!" Mu Lingxi interrupted her, her voice trembling slightly.

"I like Junior Martial Uncle, and I'm willing! As for you, Sister Liu... you are clearly so much older than Junior Martial Uncle, and you... you are from the Tang Family. Are you here legitimately?"

Those words were a bit heart-stabbing.

Outside, Lu Yu frowned and was about to go in to smooth things over.

But he heard Liu Yunshu fall silent for a long while. When she spoke again, her voice was still calm but carried an indisputable strength.

"It is precisely because I have experienced much that I know better what I want and how to cherish it. Miss Lingxi, let's not talk about this. Ultimately, we both want what's best for him. In that case, why not have some rules?"

"Rules? What rules?"

Liu Yunshu said slowly: "If you don't mind, you can stay here temporarily. As for... Lu Yu's time."

She paused, seemingly having made a big decision: "I know you are unhappy because I often monopolize Lu Yu. How about we divide it by the calendar? Even days for my cultivation with him, and odd days for yours. What do you think?"

Outside, Lu Yu almost spat out his tea.

Good grief, they're even setting up a shift schedule?

And "discussing the Dao and cultivating"... that's a very euphemistic way to put it.

In the kitchen, Mu Lingxi was obviously stunned. She hadn't expected Liu Yunshu to propose such an "equal split" plan.

She hesitated for a long time, probably thinking this was better than running over every day to try and bump into him. Finally, she gave a muffled "Mhm": "Then... it's a deal. Today is September 13th, so it's my turn!"

Thus, from that day on, Lu Yu lived a "regulated" nightlife.

On odd days, Mu Lingxi would bathe and change early, bringing hand-prepared spiritual dew or snacks to his room.

At first, she was a bit shy, but when the passion grew, it was naturally lingering and deep. The Grand Yin Condensing Fragrance Physique and the Nine Yang Haori Body blended, and the cultivation effect was excellent.

On even days, it was Liu Yunshu's turn.

She was always more composed, first treating the minor hidden injuries he might have sustained from sword practice during the day before proceeding with Dual Cultivation.

Guided by the Chaos Yin Art, the Desire Heart White Lotus Body showed amazing capacity and transformation power, making Lu Yu's spiritual energy more pure and condensed.

Time passed slowly, and Lu Yu's days were very full. Every day when Fifth Senior Sister Li Miaoer came, she didn't even have time to be intimate with Lu Yu.

Her Junior Martial Brother had been monopolized by two women!

Although the two women followed the rules, their subtle rivalry in their gazes and the occasional sharp-tongued dialogue when they met during the day still made Lu Yu feel mentally exhausted.

After about ten days of this, Lu Yu really couldn't take it anymore.

Tonight was another odd day, and Mu Lingxi was on duty.

After a session of cultivation, Mu Lingxi leaned into his arms with flushed cheeks, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his chest. Lu Yu held her and suddenly sighed.

"Junior Martial Uncle, what's wrong?" Mu Lingxi looked up and asked with misty eyes.

"Lingxi," Lu Yu chose his words carefully.

"You see, you and Yun Shu both have such great Physiques, and your Cultivation Techniques come from the same source. Isn't it a bit of a waste to Cultivate separately? Yin and Yang Chaos emphasizes blending and flowing together. This separation... I always feel like something is missing."
