Chapter 374: Chapter 135: Shadows Approaching
One night...
The fragrance of jade mingled with primitive scents, even the sheets were quite damp.
Crimson as the blooming plum blossom.
The air was filled with a faint scent of blood, the intoxicating fragrance of burning plants high above and the earthy smell of the cave blended together, constantly reminding you that you’re in a foreign land.
This time, Li Xuan felt an unprecedented passion.
This kind of passion, he had never even experienced before.
In the dim cave, pale light pierced through the curtains, casting a shadow on the raised blanket...
Recalling, Li Xuan only felt that what crawled into his bed was a fierce tigress.
The tigress’s pair of "hind legs" were exceptionally fierce, once they hunted with force, it was like a soul-chasing pursuit.
This made him unable to suppress his laughter.
...
After a while, it seemed to be morning.
There was movement outside, yet everyone tactfully avoided coming here, instead, they all walked away.
In Li Xuan’s arms, it was like a ball of fire was burning.
At this moment, he felt life was incredibly wondrous.
And the female cultivator in his arms also opened her eyes.
The tigress was gone, replaced by a kitten.
The kitten extended two paws, repeatedly scratching his chest as if playfully or angrily protesting about last night’s storm without care for the flower, yet forgetting how the flower danced wildly without stopping.
She whispered: "*&...%￥#@"
This part of the dialogue was beyond comprehension, Li Xuan didn’t understand and curiously asked, "What do you mean?"
Tong Jia saw his expression and knew he didn’t understand, so she gently pinched the muscles on his arm, stroked his abs, then squeezed her fist and nodded.
Li Xuan still didn’t quite get it, he thought probably no one could understand this metaphysical expression.
Simple gestures can only express simple meanings, complex ones couldn’t.
Tong Jia sighed, said nothing, and turned her head to lie in his arms, her long hair hanging down, damp over the man’s body.
Li Xuan held this female cultivator from a foreign land and suddenly swallowed.
He was hungry.
Tong Jia saw his Adam’s apple move, and asked, "Hungry?"
Li Xuan nodded.
Tong Jia suddenly laughed with a sound like "Goose, goose, goose," gently slapped him, with a lively expression raised her delicate face and asked, "Eat food, or eat me?"
Li Xuan said, "Eat food."
Tong Jia lightly slapped him again, then hugged him tightly and said, "Wait a little longer."
She snuggled close to Li Xuan, like a cat basking in the sun, with her eyes half-closed in bliss.
Li Xuan didn’t mind.
After all, he knew "eating food won’t fill you up," it was impossible to be full here.
However, thinking of the vast Demon Country filled him with anticipation.
He thought to himself, ’A whole country of demons, if I could consume them all, how many attribute points would I gain.’
He was like a hungry wolf that arrived at a mist-covered sheepfold, maintaining caution and patience, probing and observing carefully, because he didn’t know what besides the sheep he could eat hid within the sheepfold.
Moreover, during his journey around the Island Country, he sensed an extraordinarily cold aura, far more frigid than Lingyi Sect.
With Li Xuan’s experience, he speculated there must be a large quantity of High Tier spirit mines here.
Higher tier, richer resources also meant this land likely harbored more powerful cultivators.
Under such conditions, the cultivators were forced to live underground and survive, implying "the road is high a foot while the demons are high a yard," the demons here were certainly more terrifying than he imagined.
All these were the "logical basis" for him arriving at this cultivator gathering point and conveniently accepting Tong Jia as his Dao companion.
He needed to cast stones to find the way forward.
In this world, anyone might deceive you, and anyone might have reasons not to help you, but an ordinary Dao companion, struggling, looking for a backbone wouldn’t deceive you.
Because she relies on you, because she had long awaited you, naturally thinking about progressing together, living together. She was still full of hope, especially...she was still a virgin.
...
After a while.
The two got off the bed, Tong Jia bashfully enveloped the damp sheets, tied a knot and placed it in the corner.
Then she pulled Li Xuan out.
Outside, people from afar saw her and laughed as if they were saying something.
Tong Jia wasn’t shy, she retorted to each and every one.
This time, Li Xuan roughly understood.
Those cultivators were likely saying things like "Congratulations on your breakthrough, fellow Daoist" in a way that was both congratulatory and teasing.
And Tong Jia was probably saying something like "Don’t you have one yourself? Isn’t it the same for your Dao companion?"
As for Li Xuan who was following by Tong Jia’s side, the people around him looked at him with more kindness, and some even waved and cupped their fists towards him.
Li Xuan smiled and returned the gesture with courtesy.
He was quite proficient at integrating into a new environment.
Soon, the newly bonded Dao companions arrived at the "washroom."
It was a deep cave with water flowing down from the ceiling, forming a rather small deep pool underneath.
This deep pool was the main location for everyone to drink water and wash up.
Quite a few people surrounded it at the time.
In addition, by the edge of the cave there were numerous female cultivators holding wooden basins doing laundry, and upon seeing Tong Jia they began to tease again.
Li Xuan watched this scene, feeling quite pensive.
The exalted cultivators from Great Zhou actually lived in a manner akin to rural life in this foreign land...
"Come on, why are you dazing off!"
Tong Jia looked at him surveying around, fiercely squeezed into a spot and called him over.
And the female cultivator she squeezed out laughed and said, "Just one night, and you’re already so attached to your Dao companion?"
