47: So let's practice dual cultivation!

In the courtyard, the atmosphere was subtle.

Lu Yi still maintained that "weak" posture.

His face was pale and his aura was unsteady, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Leng Ningshuang supported him, her cold face filled with a complex expression of worry and confusion.

Just then, a purple figure carrying a faint fragrant breeze walked in gracefully.

It was Chu Qianqian.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Lu Yi and Leng Ningshuang "snuggling" together.

Those charming peach blossom eyes were momentarily stunned.

Then, a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face.

"Holy Son Lu! You certainly made it hard for me to find you!"

Lifting her skirt, she walked quickly to the two of them and said in a resentful tone:

"I looked for you all night, almost turning the entire State Preceptor's Residence upside down, but I couldn't find a trace of you. So you were... with the State Preceptor."

As she spoke, she noticed Lu Yi's pale face.

She looked back and forth at the two of them, who both appeared somewhat damp and disheveled.

Then, she looked as if she had discovered some shocking secret.

Covering her mouth with her hand, she let out a flirtatious laugh and teased suggestively:

"Oh my, look at how weak you are... Could it be that last night, you two..."

She intentionally prolonged her tone before continuing in a tone of sudden realization:

"I really underestimated the State Preceptor... Tsk tsk, it turns out the State Preceptor likes mandarin duck baths..."

"You... what nonsense are you talking about!"

Leng Ningshuang naturally understood the meaning behind her words.

After all, she was inexperienced in such matters and had remained pure for so many years; she had never been teased so bluntly to her face.

For a moment, two moving blushes involuntarily rose on her cold cheeks.

She hastily let go of Lu Yi's arm and took a step back, trying to explain:

"You're overthinking it. We... we were just... just cultivating..."

However, her weak and powerless explanation sounded more like a cover-up to Chu Qianqian's ears.

Chu Qianqian covered her mouth, laughing so hard her body shook, and waved her hand repeatedly at her:

"Oh, there's no need to explain, State Preceptor, no need to explain."

"Cultivating, I understand, I understand everything..."

"Our Hehuan Sect is best at this kind of 'cultivation'."

Seeing Chu Qianqian's "I know what you mean" sly look made Leng Ningshuang even more anxious and angry.

The two of them truly hadn't done anything last night!

How did it become so scandalous in her mouth!

Yet, she couldn't bring herself to speak about the truth of the cold energy eruption and their skin-to-skin contact.

For a moment, she was at a loss for words, standing there in a mix of shame and annoyance.

Just then, Lu Yi, who had been "watching the show" from the side, coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation.

He asked Chu Qianqian weakly:

"Saintess Chu, are you looking for me for something important?"

Chu Qianqian didn't actually have anything important.

She just wanted to seize the opportunity to deepen her relationship with this top-tier Saint.

But of course, she wouldn't say that, only winking at Lu Yi and saying softly:

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong? Can't I look for you for some 'deep communication'?"

Lu Yi didn't press further; this girl Chu Qianqian was only good with her words.

He turned his head to look at Leng Ningshuang, who was still sulking, and brought the topic back on track with a concerned tone:

"Sister Ningshuang, what exactly is going on with that cold energy eruption in your body? Is there any good way to solve it?"

Hearing Lu Yi ask about serious matters, Leng Ningshuang temporarily suppressed the shame and annoyance in her heart.

Her expression dimmed, and she shook her head gently, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness:

"This is a chronic ailment I've had since my mother's womb. There is no cure, it can only be suppressed by force using cultivation."

However, when Chu Qianqian heard the words "cold energy eruption," the flirtatious smile on her face faded slightly.

She looked Leng Ningshuang up and down and suddenly asked:

"cold energy eruption? State Preceptor, could it be that you have... the extreme cold fiend physique?"

Upon hearing this, an extremely surprised look appeared in Leng Ningshuang's cold eyes.

She looked at Chu Qianqian in surprise and asked back:

"How do you know?"

Chu Qianqian nodded understandingly and explained:

"In the Scripture Pavilion of our Hehuan Sect, there are many records of such special Physiques. There was once an Elder in my Sect who also possessed this extreme cold fiend physique."

She paused and continued:

"This kind of Physique causes great harm to the mother during pregnancy and easily depletes the mother's Origin."

"Therefore, a fetus with the extreme cold fiend physique easily results in being born with Innate deficiencies."

"The consequence is that once one steps onto the path of cultivation, cold energy will periodically erupt within the body. The higher the cultivation, the more frequent and intense the eruptions become."

Leng Ningshuang nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of shock.

Every word Chu Qianqian said perfectly matched her situation.

Her mother had suffered a great loss of Origin because of her pregnancy, passing away shortly after giving birth.

She could no longer care about her previous shame and embarrassment.

Stepping forward urgently, she grabbed Chu Qianqian's wrist and asked:

"Then... is there any good way to solve it? To be honest, this cold energy in my body has indeed been erupting more and more frequently lately."

Seeing her eyes filled with urgency and expectation.

That familiar smiling expression reappeared on Chu Qianqian's face.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Lu Yi and Leng Ningshuang.

Finally, she spoke slowly and suggestively:

"There is a method. And it's a method that can cure it at the root."

She intentionally prolonged her tone before saying slowly:

"It just... depends on whether you two are willing or not."

Both Lu Yi and Leng Ningshuang were stunned upon hearing her words.

They subconsciously glanced at each other.

Then, they looked at Chu Qianqian together and asked in unison:

"U...us?"

"That's right, exactly you two."

Chu Qianqian scanned the two of them mischievously and explained with a smile:

"The method our Hehuan Sect Elder used to solve this problem was through the Sect's secret technique—Plucking Yang to Supplement Yin—to make up for the Innate deficiency in the Bloodline."

Her gaze finally rested on Lu Yi, carrying an undisguised heat:

"I sensed before that Holy Son Lu, your Physique is special. The thickness of the Yang Qi in your body is simply something I've never seen before."

"If the State Preceptor can Cultivate with you through our Hehuan Sect's secret technique, under the harmony of Yin and Yang, she should soon be able to completely make up for her Innate Bloodline deficiency and cure this cold energy ailment. Perhaps her cultivation could even take a step further."

Looking at the two with their different expressions, she finally clapped her hands and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"So, let's do Dual Cultivation!"
