Chapter 443: Chapter 442: Private Conversations in the Room, Visiting the Liu Family Again
It’s often said,
A man’s mouth, is a lying ghost.
And then it’s said,
A woman’s lips, are soul-capturing hooks.
No problem with both statements.
As time flew by, three days passed in a blink of an eye.
At noon,
Yulian opened her eyes in a daze.
Her eyes met a pure white ceiling. A perplexed expression gradually appeared on her face, showing she was suspecting if she was dreaming.
Three days!
A whole three days!
Having lived for over a hundred years, Yulian never thought.
She, a Great Demon, would sob and beg like a weak woman.
As a Seventh Realm Monster, how formidable was her physical strength?
To make her plead was an impossible thing.
Even if hit with high-grade Immortal Items, she would just suffer heavy blows, howl once and consider herself defeated.
However, facts speak louder than words.
With tears running down her face and her cheeks covered, Yulian really wished to burrow into the ground.
She surrendered herself to Li Jing.
She was neither panicked nor afraid.
Nor did she have any regrets.
Men and women making love, is perfectly normal.
Single for over a hundred years, finally, she found a satisfactory lover, she also yearned for the joy of intimacy.
Here’s the knowledge.
Yulian was not only a fox demon but also one who specialized in charm.
Even ordinary women would have wild thoughts when they come of age.
Not to mention her, who bewitched everybody?
Remaining pure for over a hundred years was not easy.
Now, at last, having achieved what she wished for, both having a lover and enjoying the pleasures of intimacy.
But this person...
The loss seemed a bit large.
In front of Li Jing, Yulian was very gentle.
But she was a typical strong woman.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to carve a niche for herself in the Entertainment Circle, where "man-eating ghosts" were everywhere, by her own strength.
This hit her self-esteem...
What Yulian found hard to believe was.
Why was Li Jing’s energy so vigorous?
She always knew that someone’s bodily strength was high.
But even if he was a Great Demon, wouldn’t he need to rest?
Normally saying.
A Great Demon can handle fussing over three days without sleep or rest.
But Yulian was different after all.
She was a fox demon.
Fox demons were born with the ability to absorb human essence, which was beyond their control.
When enjoying the intimate joy of fish and water, this part of the ability would be infinitely magnified, actively drawing the essence of the other party to nourish the fox demon herself.
If you try to dabble with a fox demon without real skills, you might get drained in minutes.
Even risking the collapse of the foundation, the cultivation level might be lost.
The bad reputation of the fox demon was for this reason.
Of course.
This part of the bad reputation does not come from consensual lovemaking, but from some fox demons who plot to advance rapidly, actively or even forcibly demand from others endlessly, causing harm to others’ lives.
This inherent ability of the fox demons is not evil, but it was better than evil.
Essence,
Is not Spiritual Qi.
But the essence of life.
The stronger the body, the richer the essence, quite true.
But no matter the monster or the human, the essence within the body will always be limited.
A wasteful squandering, or being endlessly demanded, will eventually lead to death.
As the saying goes, one knows the warmth and coldness when drinking water like a fish.
Yulian, as a fox demon, naturally understood what price would be paid for being intimate with her.
For this reason,
Although she promised Li Jing three days ago, she made it clear that she would leave when dawn broke, thinking it would prevent him from obsessing and hurting his body.
However, the harsh reality tells her,
Rather than worrying about Li Jing, she should worry more about herself.
A whole three days.
Li Jing almost tore her apart...
The enjoyment, of course was great.
As a Great Demon and a fox demon, if the desire was released, it would be hardly possible to satisfy her.
However, not only did Li Jing manage to make her experience this, she found it a bit hard to bear...
Thinking about Liu Sisi and Li Jing living together for more than a year, Yulian couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
She found it hard to imagine,
How Liu Sisi survived this past year...
Letting out a long breath, Yulian struggled to sit up.
Next to her.
Li Jing was not there.
There was a lot of clanging noise from the kitchen downstairs. It seemed like Li Jing had woken up and gone downstairs to prepare something for her to eat.
Looking down at the marks left by someone’s three-day labor all over her body, Yulian wanted to cry but couldn’t, while feeling a little relieved at the same time.
No matter how you look at it,
She did not make the wrong choice.
Just Li Jing’s energy that far exceeds that of ordinary people, is enough to make the demon women from the fox demon sect green with envy, even to the point of desperately throwing themselves at him.
The world is home to all sorts of monsters.
As long as they have developed Spiritual Intelligence, any creature can becoming a demon.
Among the many monsters, the fox demon could be said to be uniquely privileged.
They were born smarter, more alert than ordinary monsters, and had the innate ability to charm and absorb external essence to nourish themselves.
Yet behind these extraordinary privileges, there was sorrow.
What was the sorrow?
It was mentioned just now.
Fox demon, are hard to satisfy.
This essence nourishment, during the enjoyment of intimate pleasure, is more like a poison, making them unconsciously crave more, and when they get serious, they are even uncontrollable in keeping their rationality.
But in front of Li Jing,
These are not issues.
Feeling herself, Yulian fell into prolonged silence.
Her, who had just passed the Heavenly Tribulation three days ago, was now in the late stage of the Seventh Realm.
What Li Jing gave...
It was too much.
Thinking of how she cultivated hard for over a hundred years just to achieve the Fifth Boundary, she had recently closed off all the disturbances to accumulate herself and break into the Seventh Realm, Yulian couldn’t help but doubt the life as a fox demon again.
If she had known earlier that Li Jing was so "capable", why didn’t she take that step sooner?
Proud, Yulian certainly was,
But if she had known that being intimate with someone for three days had better results than a hundred years of hard labor, why should she insist?
Isn’t it nice to just lie down and relax?
Just as she was indulging in her thoughts, Yulian’s sharp hearing picked up the sound of Li Jing leaving the kitchen downstairs and heading upstairs.
Without giving it a second thought, Yulian hastily got up and managed to dress neatly.
She knows her own business well.
Her irresistible charm... Li Jing could possibly have controlled himself if he hadn’t tasted it, but now, he definitely couldn’t get enough.
Being able to enjoy and improve her cultivation level at the same time was a good thing.
Anyway, she was already Li Jing’s girl.
But it was still necessary to conserve her energy.
Indulging excessively was and is never good.
If not for Li Jing’s sake, she had to consider her own "dignity".
She needed to take a break, otherwise, she might end up begging for mercy right at the start.
She couldn’t let that happen.
With a "creak" sound.
The bedroom door was pushed open.
The slightly loud noise made Yulian’s fox ears visible on top of her head tremble slightly, but on the surface, she calmly gazed at the door without showing any expression.
Just at that moment.
Li Jing peeked his head in, like a thief.
Upon making eye contact, Li Jing paused slightly.
He knew he had gone a little too far.
But he couldn’t help it as Yulian was too irresistible.
After three days of intense lovemaking, even though Yulian was a Seventh Realm monster, she needed some rest.
He didn’t expect Yulian to wake up just because he went downstairs for a while.
Could this...
Be the strength of a Seventh Realm monster?
Dur...
Cough!
If it were Liu Sisi, she probably wouldn’t even be able to raise a finger at this point.
On this end.
When Yulian made eye contact with Li Jing, she couldn’t help but avoid his gaze a bit, feeling somewhat guilty.
She was genuinely worried that he might pounce on her again.
However, seeing that he was quite calm, Yulian quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Then, she couldn’t help but wrinkle her pretty nose.
At the moment, Li Jing had only opened a crack in the door.
But from this crack, a tantalizingly fragrant aroma that made Yulian’s mouth water wafted in.
This strange scent was incredibly enticing.
It wasn’t that Li Jing’s cooking was particularly great, but the source of this unusual aroma was very unique.
After three days, Yulian had planned to put on an act.
On one hand, she could no longer tolerate any more affection for the time being. On the other hand, since she’d taken this step, she had to ensure her position as the "empress" of her family.
Let’s leave the former for now.
The latter was natural for women.
After giving herself to someone.
Isn’t it necessary to establish her "empress" status to avoid being bullied in the future?
However, faced with this intoxicating aroma, Yulian couldn’t help but ask,
"What delicious thing did you make? It smells so good?"
Li Jing was quite straightforward.
But he’s never been a true naive man.
He was very clear that a strong woman like Yulian, after being subjected to his torment, would surely seek to regain her dignity and establish her future home’s "empress" position.
He was prepared for her to act up and to coax her.
Seeing Yulian not acting temperamental or scheming, but clearly being attracted by his cooking, Li Jing blinked, secretly decided to thank Jiu Li later, and walked in with a smile.
"Nothing too special, it’s just a dish of charcoal-grilled Qilin crispy bone."
?
Yulian.
Charcoal-grilled what?
Before she could react, Li Jing, like presenting a precious treasure, came to the bed and put down a piece of crispy bone with meat.
"Speaking of this, I forgot to mention it yesterday."
As he spoke, he recounted the incident of Jiu Li encountering a Qilin in the Heavenly Saint Land and explained the effects of its bones and flesh.
Before Yulian could finish listening to the whole story, she couldn’t resist and started eating.
By the time Li Jing finished speaking, half of the Qilin crispy bone had already disappeared into her stomach.
She couldn’t help it.
This thing, not only does it smell good, but it’s also extremely enticing.
The Qilin crispy bone hit her stomach, and Yulian clearly felt a slight awakening of her nine-tailed bloodline within her body.
With this feeling, there was no need to question whether Jiu Li really encountered a divine beast Qilin.
The awakening of the bloodline had already explained a lot.
"Brother Jiu’s luck is truly against heaven."
While gnawing on the Qilin crispy bone, Yulian voiced her heartfelt admiration, and with a smack of her lips, said,
"The Divine Beast Qilin is a heterogeneous species from ancient times, a legendary creature. Not to mention you human cultivators, even in our monster’s concept, such existence is a fanciful and unconfirmed wish, no one is sure whether they actually exist. I didn’t expect her to actually encounter one, and it was even on the brink of its..."
Halfway through her words, Yulian clicked her tongue and turned her head away in feigned anger,
"Can you just behave yourself? I’m eating."
"Didn’t I just behave myself?"
Li Jing laughed sheepishly.
Although he said that, he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her waist and pull her into his embrace.
Seeing this, Yulian also felt helpless.
Women being clingy always made people feel quite helpless.
When men get clingy, it’s just as relentless.
Resigning herself to her fate, she twisted her body to find a more comfortable position leaning against Li Jing’s embrace. Yulian glanced at him and said,
"You said we’d leave at dawn, yet you tormented me for three whole days. If you continue to be excessive, watch out, I might get angry with you."
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare."
Li Jing quickly nodded, giving a silent thumbs up to Yulian’s soft body in his arms, and asked,
"How is it? Did you manage to awaken the nine-tailed bloodline?"
"A little bit,"
Yulian responded.
Receiving her answer, Li Jing spoke up,
"I still have over ninety pounds left. I’ll give it to you when you go to the Little Universe after you finish with the company affairs. After you’ve finished eating all of it, the nine-tailed bloodline you awaken should be even more pronounced."
As he said this, he hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously,
"Ayu, I have a question."
?
Yulian turned to face him.
Meeting his gaze, Li Jing cleared his throat and asked,
"If you fully awaken the nine-tailed bloodline, will you also grow nine tails?"
"..."
Yulian.
This question from Li Jing masqueraded as innocent curiosity....
But his true intention lies elsewhere!
Wordlessly glancing at a certain someone, Yulian disdainfully said,
"Whether or not I’ll grow nine tails, I suggest you don’t hold your hopes too high. Bloodline represents power, not physical characteristics. If you’re really longing for a nine-tailed fox demon, I suggest it’d be more practical to deal with Brother Jiu."
"..."
Li Jing.
Yulian’s bold suggestion left him completely at a loss for words.
Yulian’s condescending look left him somewhat shamed.
But his pride?
Li Jing never cared about it.
"Forget about Brother Jiu."
With a shameless grin, Li Jing declared nonchalantly.
"I don’t think she and I are a good match, besides, her gender ambiguity is unnerving. Pursuing her is less crucial than figuring out how to awaken more of your Nine-Tailed Bloodline."
At this, the corner of Yulian’s mouth twitched.
Has Li Jing...
completely given up?
He used to always say, humans and monsters don’t mix.
And now, having her,
not only does he dismiss it, but he has also developed strange fascinations.
Caught between laughter and tears, Yulian gave him a mocking roll of her eyes. With her lips slightly pursed and a touch of hesitation, she spoke up.
"Is your body okay?"
Li Jing was briefly startled, before realizing that Yulian was showing concern for him.
During their intimate encounters, he could feel his spiritual energy being drained significantly.
But such were trivial matters to him.
His physical strength had, at the Seventh Realm, been powerful enough to suppress any monster of the same realm.
Upon entering the Ninth Realm,
his physical strength had even reached the level to withstand immortal items. The gradual loss of his spiritual energy was only a slight annoyance.
"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine," he said, offering a calming smile.
"It’s a bit of a pity, though, that the dual cultivation method Sisi and I have doesn’t work on you, otherwise you might already have reached the Eighth Realm."
Upon hearing Sisi’s name, Yulian’s expression turned odd.
When she heard they had a dual cultivation method, she couldn’t help but voice her incredulity.
"So, the rapid progress in Sisi’s cultivation level is all thanks to your ’contributions’?"
"Uh, that..."
Li Jing started coughing and laughed awkwardly.
"You could say that..."
Before he could finish, Yulian interrupted suspiciously.
"How on earth can she stand you?"
"..."
Li Jing.
He wasn’t sure how to answer this question.
While he was debating whether to change the subject, Yulian, her lips slightly pursed, offered a suggestion.
"Why don’t you give the god pattern you prepared for me to someone else first?"
?
Li Jing.
"My cultivation level is increasing too fast, which isn’t necessarily a good thing."
Yulian looked up as she said this, her gaze slightly evasive, her voice barely louder than a mosquito’s hum.
"As a fox demon, the stronger I get, the more potent my vitality-draining abilities will become. If we overlook the lower, middle, and upper god patterns, after absorbing the Supreme God Pattern, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it."
"Well, this..."
Li Jing was at a loss for words.
If Yulian had said this before, he definitely would have brushed it off.
But having now experienced the power drain firsthand, he couldn’t ignore her warning.
Over the past three days, Yulian’s absorption of his power hadn’t really affected him,
But that was only because, at the time, Yulian had just stepped into the Seventh Realm.
Now, however, she was in the latter stages of the Seventh Realm.
With just a little push, she could step into the Eighth Realm.
After she absorbed the lower, middle, and upper god patterns, she should easily be in the latter stages of the Eighth Realm.
A Supreme God Pattern later, she could potentially ascend into the Ninth Realm.
And when that happens, her absorption power...
After a moment’s thought, Li Jing said.
"You still need to absorb the god patterns. Besides, giving it to others isn’t the solution. Sisi and the others each have what they need, and I’ve saved one for Yuran. Brother Jiu, used to her free and unfettered life, might not be willing to go to the Supreme God Domain with us, therefore, the pattern wouldn’t carry much significance to her. Furthermore, that place may not be suitable for her."
Continuing, he said.
"The Immortal Realm isn’t a safe place. After absorbing the patterns, Sisi and the others will at most reach the Eighth Realm, leaving me the only one at the Ninth Realm..."
Before he could finish, Yulian averted her gaze.
"After that, you’ll have to put up with a bit of inconvenience and show some restraint," she interrupted.
Dumbfounded, Li Jing said.
"It isn’t a big issue. Upon entering the Immortal Realm, we would have access to better resources and an improved cultivation environment, and I will strive to advance quickly."
Upon hearing this, Yulian blinked her beautiful eyes a couple of times, then chuckled.
"Well, you’ll need to work harder; otherwise, you’ll only be able to watch without having a chance to satiate your desires."
"..."
Li Jing.
They say girls undergo a great change once they become women,
But it’s not necessarily so.
The reality is that after that transition, they tend to reveal their truest selves.
Li Jing understood this well,
He was aware,
Yulian, in the past, had not shown him her true self
They never dated before,
At first, their relationship was one of mutual checks and balances; later on, Yulian was being "kept" by him. How could she show her true self then?
And now, she seemed to no longer hold back.
Her chattiness, even Sisi, who occasionally would blurt out nonsense, would have to concede defeat.
In this scenario,
Li Jing couldn’t help but recall a movie he’d seen in his previous life, Flirting Scholar.
All the concubines in the movie appeared to be beautiful and charming women in public, but once the door was closed...
Seeing Li Jing’s expression of discomfort, Yulian burst into laughter and joyfully said.
"I’m just messing with you! Look at you, so scared! But what I said is true. If we go to the Immortal Realm and your cultivation level doesn’t significantly improve in the short term, you’d better avoid touching me. This isn’t just for our benefit, but also for Sisi and Yuran. We’re all family, and I wouldn’t want my sisters to lose their happiness because of me."
Li Jing frowned upon hearing this.
At first, he didn’t think too much about it.
However, after hearing Yulian’s explanation, he quickly realized that although Yulian genuinely cared for him, she was also trying to tease him.
To confirm, Li Jing looked down at her.
Upon his gaze,
Yulian, who was smiling just a second ago, quickly averted her gaze.
Seeing her reaction, Li Jing felt confirmation.
Yulian is...
Acting a bit immature!
She definitely needed some teasing... training!
Without any hesitation, Li Jing leaned down and took a bite.
!!!
Yulian.
She tried to resist, but was quickly overpowered by Li Jing’s strength.
Feeling her situation was rapidly turning unfavorable, with a hand sneakily making its way into her clothing, Yulian struggled to raise her voice.
"Stop messing around! I haven’t finished eating!"
Before she could finish speaking, Li Jing pulled away.
Yulian paused for a moment, seemingly stunned.
Li Jing...
Could he really be this obedient?
The moment he harbored this thought, someone spoke out.
"Indeed, at least wait until after you’ve finished eating."
"..."
Yulian.
Did this mean there was no avoiding it?
...
The next morning.
The Liu Mansion in the capital city.
With a single step, Li Jing appeared outside Liu Shi’s residence.
In the end, Yulian was ’conquered’ by him, using the justification of "Since we’ll have to exercise restraint or not have the chance at all in the future," she ’accepted’ him after a good ’sorting out’.
However, the frolicking had to stop here.
What needed to be done still had to be done.
Li Jing himself had plenty of matters to arrange, and so did Yulian.
What was worth mentioning was...
A Great Demon was still a Great Demon.
After being tormented for four days straight, Yulian - once she got out of bed - was as lively as ever, unlike Liu Sisi who had to pretend to be dead for half a day before she could manage standing.
Putting aside these things...
The moment Li Jing stood outside Liu Shi’s residence, a female voice rang next to his ear.
"If you’re here, then come in. What on earth are you standing outside for? I’ve waited for you for four whole days. What is it, do you want your mother-in-law to personally invite you in?"
Upon hearing this voice, Li Jing was slightly stunned, and then his face turned peculiar.
Liu Shi had been waiting for him, for four days?
It was clear...
This was Chen Jing communicating with her.
Jiang Liao wouldn’t be so busy.
So the question was...
Chen Jing was at odds with Liu Shi, so he wouldn’t meddle in such a matter for no reason.
Was it...
Because he anticipated that I would give Liu Shi a God Pattern and deliberately tried to curry favor with her?
Uncle Chen...
Could be a little weird!
But when Li Jing thought about how Chen Jing had a responsibility to carry, and how he was temporarily unable to break through to the Seventh Realm, and how Liu Shi also had a responsibility -- albeit only for the continuation of the Liu family -- and she originally even planned to break through to the Seventh Realm, Li Jing didn’t think there was a problem.
His mother-in-law was quite domineering.
Not to mention that he would give her a God Pattern.
Even if he didn’t, once she entered the Seventh Realm and retired, she would undoubtedly seek ’vengeance’.
After silently praying for Chen Jing, Li Jing stepped into the courtyard.
Just as he entered...
He looked up to see Liu Shi holding a watering can and watering the flowers in the flowerbed.
Just as he was about to affectionately call her mom, Liu Shi looked over, said casually.
"What’s so important that you’ve delayed for four whole days, even more important than your mother-in-law like me?"
"..."
Li Jing.
Liu Shi started off with a question that placed him in a difficult spot, what should he state in his situation?
He could hardly tell the truth, right?
If he was going to find an excuse...
What could be more important than his mother-in-law?
Li Jing cleared his throat, produced a set of God Patterns which would facilitate ascension to higher positions.
"Mom, this is my tribute to you."
Upon seeing the God Patterns, Liu Shi gave him a reproachful look, a rare hint of vulnerability appearing on her face.
Her expression seemed to say...
I’m angry at you for making me wait for four days, not because I’m greedy for your God Patterns.
Her facial expression was coquettish, but there was no hesitation in Liu Shi’s actions. She waved her hand and collected all the God Patterns.
She was a practical person.
There was no reason not to accept things given by her son-in-law.
Besides, God Patterns were extremely hard to come by...
Well, no.
To be precise, they were rare commodities.
After receiving the God Patterns, Liu Shi cleared her throat.
"Those God Patterns... Do you still have any left?"
Upon this inquiry, Li Jing was taken aback, and instinctively said...
"There are still many, but not enough to make a complete set."
"Would you mind giving me one more of those Lower Gods?"
Liu Shi queried.
In the process, she emitted a hint of her own aura.
Li Jing felt it and was slightly surprised.
Liu Shi had already endured the disaster and entered the Seventh Realm.
But the fact that she was still here indicated that she had concealed the truth about her advancement into the Seventh Realm.
She wanted another piece of the Lower God pattern, presumably in preparation to cultivate a successor before she revealed herself, to protect the Liu family.
Without much thought, Li Jing took out a piece of the Lower God pattern and handed it over.
"Mom, Uncle Chen may have already told you about my imminent departure to the Immortal Realm. Do you want to come with me...."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Shi shook her head.
"I will go to the Immortal Realm, but not with you. If I left with you, that brat Sisi might find me, this old woman, annoying."
Li Jing was at a loss for words.
Liu Sisi would never find Liu Shi annoying.
But since Liu Shi said this, she likely had some lingering concerns she couldn’t let go of just yet.
Having had a similar experience, Liu Shi said after receiving the God Pattern.
"Go and take care of your business. When you are about to leave, bring Sisi here to see me."
"Okay."
Li Jing nodded. Then he hesitated for a moment and said...
"Mom, not to hide anything from you, myself and Yuran..."
Halfway through the sentence, Liu Shi gave him a glance.
"The stuff between you and the Chen family girl is your generation’s business, I have no jurisdiction. And you, as a younger generation, should not interfere too much with the elder’s business."
"..."
Li Jing.
Women can bear grudges, it’s common sense.
He also understood very well that his mother-in-law hadn’t forgotten the beating she got from Chen Jing at some point.
When he started speaking, it was to plead for Chen Jing.
Not to mention that this Uncle had taken good care of him, he would have to call him father-in-law in the future.
One was his mother-in-law, the other his father-in-law.
He couldn’t just stand by and watch...
However, Liu Shi didn’t give him the chance to plead at all.
What could be done?
Just let it go!
Father-in-law, you’re on your own. Good luck!
With this silently said in his heart, Li Jing stepped into the void.
...
