Chapter 5

A quarter of an hour later, everything returned to calm.

On the disheveled bed, Qin Wanyuan lay limp against Lin Que’s chest.

Her eyes were tightly closed, long eyelashes fluttering, her cherry-red lips parted as she breathed deeply, her flat abdomen rising and falling with each breath, devoid of any excess flesh.

After resting for a long while, Qin Wanyuan finally regained her composure, reopening her eyes to the disarray on the bed and the clothes scattered on the floor, all stained with water. A slight smile curved at the corners of her lips.

What a thrilling battle it was.

Though she felt exhausted, she was more satisfied than ever before, while Lin Que gently stroked her long hair and kissed her forehead.

Qin Wanyuan had longed for this scene for such a long time.

In her previous life, during those years of turmoil, every lonely night, she could only snuggle up to her sister to sleep, while Lin Que’s figure could only be met in her dreams.

“This isn’t a dream, is it?” Qin Wanyuan lifted her head to look at Lin Que, whose expression was gentle, nervously grasping his large hand.

She feared that this was merely a dream that felt too real.

“Of course not.” Lin Que held Qin Wanyuan’s hand and pressed it against his chest, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Is there any stronger evidence in the world than this?”

Feeling the vigorous heartbeat, Qin Wanyuan’s eyes stung, and she bit her lip, nodding vigorously.

The person she had longed for, finally touched her in this moment.

So in the tender moments that followed, Qin Wanyuan simply lay quietly on Lin Que’s chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, occasionally glancing up at Lin Que, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Qin Wanyuan shyly asked, “Lin Lang… may I ask how you feel about tonight? Are you… satisfied?”

Hearing her words, Lin Que was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Qin Wanyuan to ask such a question, but he nodded and gently replied:

“Of course, I am very satisfied.”

This answer made her heart swell with a bit of pride.

‘System, now you understand, right? Whether in body or spirit, Lin Lang and I are perfectly in tune!’

In response to Qin Wanyuan’s boast, the system remained cold, its synthetic female voice devoid of any emotion.

【Does the host really think so?】

‘Isn’t it so?’ Qin Wanyuan retorted.

【Does the host want to know what your pillow companion is doing at this moment?】

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanyuan couldn’t help but frown slightly, sensing an ominous premonition that would soon come to pass.

【He is silently reciting the Clear Heart Sutra.】

The Clear Heart Sutra, a basic meditation technique, serves to eliminate distractions and quell desires.

‘What… did you say?’

【The effects of the Clear Heart Sutra are surely known to the host, and the reason Lin Que is reciting it at this moment is simple: it is because the host has not satisfied him, so he can only use this method to alleviate his excess desires.】

【If you don’t believe it, the host can use her spiritual sense to perceive the flow of his spiritual energy; you will know at a glance.】

Qin Wanyuan certainly would not take the system’s word for it, and immediately used her spiritual sense to perceive the flow of Lin Que’s spiritual energy.

The Clear Heart Sutra is a very basic mental technique, and Qin Wanyuan naturally knew the flow of spiritual energy during its operation. At this moment, Lin Que was completely unguarded, making it easy to sense.

The instant she perceived the flow of Lin Que’s spiritual energy, Qin Wanyuan froze.

“This… how is this possible?”

Lin Lang was actually… silently reciting the Clear Heart Sutra.

【By the way, let me share a common knowledge with the host for free: men, just like women, also need to release in order to reach the other shore. However, the way men release, the host has probably never seen, right?】

“Release…?” Qin Wanyuan was completely stunned this time.

In both her past and present lives, she had only been intimate with Lin Que, so her understanding of that aspect could only come from him.

And in all her memories, Lin Que had never released anything…

【This is the most basic knowledge.】

‘No, no, you must be lying to me!’ Qin Wanyuan shook her head repeatedly, trying to deny the system’s viewpoint.

【Is it really not true? Actually, the host has already understood, right? It’s just that deep down, she is unwilling to admit the sad fact that she cannot satisfy her Dao partner…】

No.

There must be something wrong.

Qin Wanyuan stopped conversing with the system and took out an ancient book from her storage ring.

This was a trophy obtained during a previous extermination of evil cultivators, a book about dual cultivation. However, due to her shyness and concerns about the potential issues with the evil cultivators’ techniques, Qin Wanyuan had never opened it.

But without a doubt, it recorded the methods and processes of dual cultivation.

The ancient book contained illustrations and texts, depicting a man and a woman engaging in dual cultivation, detailing the nuances of the process.

Including terms and discussions about essence and similar concepts.

“Unbelievable… it’s real.” She murmured.

Her movement startled Lin Que, who had been silently reciting the Clear Heart Sutra. He opened his eyes and looked at Qin Wanyuan flipping through the dual cultivation manual, puzzled. “Wanyuan, why are you looking at this?”

Qin Wanyuan didn’t answer Lin Que; she simply kissed him again with her crimson lips, prying open his mouth without any warning.

I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it! I can’t possibly fail to satisfy Lin Lang. Tonight… tonight I must see what is depicted in that book!

With this thought, the second round of battle began anew.

However, this time, Qin Wanyuan’s flag of surrender fell much earlier; in less than a quarter of an hour, her waist was trembling, and she was defeated.

Yet even so, Qin Wanyuan still forced herself to rise.

She was unwilling!

“Wanyuan, why don’t you take a break?” Lin Que said with some concern.

“No, I can go again, I really can!” Qin Wanyuan’s attitude became resolute as she pressed Lin Que’s hands down and mounted him once more.

This left Lin Que momentarily stunned, his brows slightly furrowing.

At this moment, Qin Wanyuan evoked some unpleasant memories for him, but he shook his head, casting those thoughts aside.

Third round, fourth round, fifth round…

The duration of each round became shorter, while the rest periods grew longer, until Qin Wanyuan’s eyes turned white, and she could no longer straighten her waist.

Yet even so, she still hadn’t seen the liquid described in the book.

The candlelight flickered uncertainly indoors, finally extinguished by a gust of wind.

After a long silence, Qin Wanyuan finally regained her composure.

“Lin Lang… have I really never satisfied you?” she spoke desolately, her tone even carrying a hint of self-abandonment.

Lin Que pinched her cheek and smiled slightly: “What nonsense are you thinking? I am very satisfied.”

These words were naturally meant to comfort Qin Wanyuan.

As mentioned before, Qin Wanyuan was a gentle and perfect partner, but even gentle and perfect partners have their shortcomings.

That is, her physical condition in that regard was somewhat special; whenever they were alone, a single touch would put her in the mood, and any further contact would lead to surrender.

Moreover, once Qin Wanyuan surrendered, she had no capacity to continue, as her sensitivity would increase, and her stamina would deplete more quickly.

Even though she was a Golden Core stage cultivator, she could not withstand such physical exhaustion, and becoming a mere bystander was inevitable.

In a way, it could be seen as an old cow turning the tables on tender grass.

This led to Lin Que being unable to resolve that aspect of his needs for a long time.

For cultivators, desires in that regard could actually be suppressed through the Heart-Calming Technique, but before the flames of desire were extinguished, it was indeed a painful ordeal.

But overall, it was bearable.

Seeing that Qin Wanyuan had not responded for a long time, Lin Que pinched her cheek again, “Moreover, being together as partners is not just about that; what matters more is the interaction between the two of us, and in that regard, no one is better than you.”

This was also the truth.

“Thank you, Lin Lang.” Qin Wanyuan hugged Lin Que tightly, while internally adding another thought.

And… I’m sorry.

She was well aware that at this moment, Lin Que was still silently practicing the Heart-Calming Technique to extinguish the ignited but unfulfilled flames of desire.

Watching Lin Que endure discomfort yet still be gentle with her made Qin Wanyuan feel even more guilty.

It had always been this way since their past life; Lin Que always gave her the best, while she silently bore the pain.

Even until the very last moment, it was the same.

Qin Wanyuan felt a sting in her eyes, wanting to cry, but she didn’t want Lin Que to worry about her any longer.

At that moment, the system, which had been silent for a while, spoke up again.

【Recognize reality, host; you are just a mere bystander, powerless to change either that aspect of your life or the impending crisis.

Only by signing a contract with this system can you reverse your fate and change what cannot be changed.】

After a long silence, Qin Wanyuan bit her lip, suppressing the humiliation within, and gave her response.

‘I… am willing to sign the contract.’
