45: Chapter 45 Master, your disciple is foolish.

Outside the main hall, under the corridor.

Watching Liu Ruyan walk out of the side hall with a flushed Face, yet fully clothed and with a light gait, the Mistresses and Senior Sister who were hiding behind the pillars eavesdropping revealed expressions that said 'as expected'.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Ye Qingcheng hugged her shoulders, a playful smile curling the corners of her lips:

"This husband of ours is really suffering for the sake of Face."

"He is clearly craving her so much that his eyes are turning green, yet he insists on acting like a gentleman, clinging to this Revered Master-Disciple relationship."

Su Qingge covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes curving into crescents:

"Husband is playing hard to get. But looking at the little sister from the Liu family, I am afraid she has already given her heart to him; Husband's actions are completely unnecessary."

Lin Xiaowan, however, looked exasperated and threw away the melon seed shells in her hand:

"Aiya! It is killing me! I thought Revered Master would pounce like a hungry wolf and eat the little white rabbit! And this is it? So disappointing!"

The three of them looked at each other; not only were they not jealous, but having seen through their man's little schemes, they could not help but giggle together, the air filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Liu Ruyan, who had just walked over, was dumbfounded seeing these three beautiful Mistresses and Senior Sister laughing until they were swaying.

"Senior Sister... Mistresses... what are you laughing at?"

"Could it be that my performance just now was too clumsy?"

Liu Ruyan felt even more anxious; with her head lowered, she scurried back to her room like a scolded little wife.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moon hung above the willow branches.

In the side hall bedroom.

Liu Ruyan sat on the edge of the bed, holding the Jade Slip that emitted a faint fluorescent glow—the Nine Heavens Mystic Yin Su Woman Scripture》.

"Revered Master said this is a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique..."

With a heart full of reverence, she probed her Divine Sense into the Jade Slip.

However, as she read further, her originally pale little Face instantly flushed red, like a cooked shrimp.

Because the general outline at the beginning of this Cultivation Technique was written far too... too straightforwardly!

"The Mystic Yin Cauldron Body, isolated Yin cannot be born. To achieve Major Achievement, one must seek the Qi of Supreme Yang, draw it with the body, and let Yin and Yang converge to break through the mysterious barrier..."

"Note: To Cultivate the first layer of this technique, one must use this method to guide the Yin Qi within the body; the process is unbearably hot, and this posture must be used to coordinate..."

Liu Ruyan looked at the diagrams of those embarrassing Dual Cultivation postures appearing in her mind, and she was completely stunned.

How could this be any proper Cultivation Technique?

This was clearly... clearly meant for a Dao Companion to perform Dual Cultivation!

"No wonder..."

Liu Ruyan suddenly came to her senses, and the meaningful actions of her Revered Master during the day surfaced in her mind.

"The ambiguous touches while checking my body..."

"Specifically arranging for me to live next door..."

"That sentence when he left: 'If you don't understand, come find your Revered Master'..."

Liu Ruyan covered her burning cheeks, her heart pounding like a drum.

"So... Revered Master had already arranged everything!"

"He was hindered by his status as Revered Master and could not speak directly, which is why he gave me this Cultivation Technique to let me... let me take the initiative to find him?"

Having figured this out, the last trace of disappointment in Liu Ruyan's heart vanished completely, replaced by a nervous anticipation.

"Liu Ruyan, oh Liu Ruyan, you only have one chance!"

"If you don't go tonight, I'm afraid Revered Master will really just raise you as a Disciple!"

She gritted her teeth and stood up.

Under the moonlight, her exquisite figure was faintly visible, exuding an extreme sense of pure allure.

...

Knock, knock, knock.

Three extremely faint knocks sounded in the silent night.

Inside the main hall bedroom.

Wang Yang, who was tossing and turning on the bed, regretting not taking action directly, heard this knock that sounded like heavenly music and sat up with a start.

"It's here!"

He took a deep breath to calm his excited mood and tried to feign a lazy voice as if he had just been woken up:

"Who is it? It's so late."

Outside the door came Liu Ruyan's trembling yet firm voice:

"Revered Master... it is this Disciple, Ruyan."

"This Disciple is dull; the Nine Heavens Mystic Yin Su Woman Scripture》 is truly too obscure, this Disciple... this Disciple cannot comprehend it, and my whole body is feverish and uncomfortable..."

"I beg Revered Master... to open the door and guide me."

Wang Yang's mouth was about to stretch to his ears.

That's right!

This is what being sensible is!

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"Come in, the door is not locked."

Creak, the door was pushed open.

Borrowing the moonlight, Wang Yang saw Liu Ruyan standing at the door.

Her hair was slightly messy, her Face flushed, and that thin, plain garment could not hide the spring scenery that was about to overflow.

Especially those sparkling eyes, carrying three parts shyness and seven parts longing, which were simply the most deadly poison.

"Revered Master..."

Liu Ruyan closed the door behind her, walked to the bed with weak legs, and bowed deeply:

"Disciple... really cannot understand..."

Wang Yang sighed, reached out to help her up, and took the opportunity to pull her into his arms:

"This Cultivation Technique is Divine-Grade, indeed profound."

"If you want to enter the path, you need someone to guide you."

"Since you are so eager to learn, then Revered Master will... take the trouble to teach you hand-in-hand."

Liu Ruyan's body softened as she fell into Wang Yang's arms, wrapped her hands around his neck, and exhaled like an orchid:

"Then... I will trouble Revered Master... to teach me with both depth and simplicity..."

...

The curtains fell, covering the room full of charm.

The transmission of the technique officially began.

With the simultaneous operation of the Nine Heavens Mystic Yin Su Woman Scripture》 and the Supreme Yin-Yang Creation Scripture.

The [Mystic Yin Cauldron Body] that had been dormant in Liu Ruyan's body for nineteen years was finally completely activated.

A massive and pure stream of Mystic Yin Qi surged into Wang Yang's body like a breached flood.

And Wang Yang's Supreme Yang spiritual power also fed back to her.

Yin and Yang complemented each other, like a Dragon and Phoenix soaring together!

In that extreme pleasure, Liu Ruyan felt her Bottleneck being pierced through as if it were made of paper.

Eighth Layer of Qi Refining... Ninth Layer of Qi Refining... Great Perfection of Qi Refining...

Boom!

Following the final high-pitched cry.

An aura belonging to the Foundation Establishment Stage erupted from her body!

Overnight, she went from the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining straight to the Early Foundation Establishment Stage!

This was the terrifying effect of an S-rank Physique combined with a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique, plus Wang Yang, this cheating Sect Master!

And Wang Yang also benefited greatly.

Because his Domain range increased again, and his body and mind became extremely comfortable!

...

The next morning.

The first ray of sunlight sprinkled onto the Dragon bed.

Liu Ruyan curled up in Wang Yang's arms, sleeping sweetly, with a charm and satisfaction between her brows from having just experienced womanhood.

Wang Yang opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.

Just at this moment.

[Ding!]

A crisp and pleasant System notification sound exploded in his mind.

[Congratulations Host! Completed 'In-depth Communication' with Disciple Liu Ruyan, established Dao Companion relationship!]

Wang Yang's eyes flashed with brilliant light.

"Finally... waited for it!"

He carefully withdrew his arm without waking the beauty in his arms, then impatiently opened the golden-shimmering door of the Mall.

"Let me see what good things I can buy now in this LV3!"
