Chapter 58: Du Xian Sect 16 Part 2

“Then why did Shizun use the Forget Worry Curse on me that night?!” Lu Yun Ting pressed aggressively. “I thought some villain was framing Master, making us fall for the Aphrodisiac Scent. But you didn’t investigate—instead, you cast the Forget Worry Curse on me. Could it be that the culprit was…”

“Correct.” Xun Ji gave up entirely, lifting his arm to pillow it behind his head as he lay back on the bed. “The culprit was me. I used the Aphrodisiac Scent on you, tied you up, and spent that absurd night with you. Not only did I scheme against you, I disguised myself as Su Yanran, Liu Xun, and the snake demon. What are you going to do about it?”

Lu Yun Ting apparently hadn’t expected such a straightforward admission with such nonchalance. His face turned extremely ugly for a moment.

“What am I going to do?” He knelt and crawled onto the bamboo couch, a Silver Chain suddenly appearing in his hand. “Does Shizun still remember this? That night in your cave abode, you had quite a fun time playing with it, didn’t you?”

Xun Ji grew alert. “Lu Yun Ting, what are you planning?”

Lu Yun Ting’s eyes were darkly cold, yet a smile tugged at his lips. “Shizun knows full well. You’re so fearless despite your lifespan nearing its end and not seeking a way to save yourself—you’re just waiting for me to take the initiative, aren’t you?”

“Take the initiative on what?” Xun Ji tried to reason with him. “Lu Yun Ting, have you misunderstood something? I actually…”

“To dual cultivate with Shizun.”

The Silver Chain wrapped around Xun Ji’s hands and feet. In a few moves, Lu Yun Ting stripped off his own robes, tattered from the Thunder Tribulation, revealing his sleek waist and abdomen.

“There’s an ancient book in Shizun’s cave abode recording a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique that can extend lifespan.” He leaned down, facing Xun Ji’s stunned expression. “That night, Shizun intended to use that technique on me, but changed your mind at the last moment for some reason…”

“But no matter. I’ve already learned that technique. This time, it’s my turn to teach Shizun…”

Intimate words came with savage bites assaulting Xun Ji’s lips. Just as Xun Ji opened his mouth to retort, a nimble tongue intruded familiarly, leaving him no chance to breathe.

Xun Ji struggled for a bit, realized his current combat ability was basically negative, and wisely lay back on the bed, letting the little brat run wild on him.

Seeing him settle down, Lu Yun Ting lifted his head, eyes red as he glared hatefully. “Shizun really planned to use me as a medicine cauldron all along—you’re not even pretending anymore!”

Xun Ji: “I actually… Mmph!”

Fiercer kisses rained down like a storm, chaotic caresses making the Silver Chain on Xun Ji’s body jingle.

Xun Ji: “…”

Xun Ji had never intended to use that original body dual cultivation method to extend his lifespan. It caused massive damage and extreme pain to Lu Yun Ting’s body—unless he was truly at death’s door, Xun Ji wouldn’t resort to it.

Right—he wasn’t truly at death’s door yet!

Lu Yun Ting had his protagonist golden finger, and Xun Ji had his own. It was a bit dumb and glitchy at times, but it could still be useful.

Especially since each Small World offered one chance to open the System Mall.

He’d opened it once in the previous world, where goods of all kinds abounded—even treasures unattainable with gold in the Cultivation World were commonplace there. Buying a lifespan-extending elixir was just a matter of spending some Points.

Xun Ji had planned to browse slowly after Lu Yun Ting left, but the brat had stuck to him from Treasure Pearl County back to Du Xian Sect, looking terrified he’d croak any second. Now he was even forcing this evil dual cultivation method on him.

Wait… Xun Ji’s mind turned, and suddenly he thought this plot development might not be bad?

Lu Yun Ting hadn’t endured the torment of the dual cultivation secret method from the original text, so he hadn’t awakened and remained a loyal sword for Du Xian Sect, killing on command. Now the original plot was presenting itself—what if he went with the flow and let Lu Yun Ting experience it?

He was so proactive now, likely feeling guilty for advancing to Nascent Soul thanks to his “favors.” But he was also angry at being toyed with by his various disguises, thinking he was lovesick, even stagnating in cultivation due to an unstable Dao heart.

If he fanned the flames now, letting him taste the full agony of the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, Lu Yun Ting would surely grow disgusted with his hypocritical Master. Unable to face it, he’d flee down the mountain—perfectly steering the plot back on track?

Brilliant! With the key figured out, Xun Ji’s mood lifted. He no longer minded the disciple arching over him, gnawing here and there like a melon-munching mustelid.

He kindly offered guidance: “Take my clothes off first.”

Lu Yun Ting froze, grinding his teeth: “I can do it myself! No need for Shizun to teach me!”

Xun Ji wasn’t reassured: “Are you sure? You were clumsy every previous time. This requires multitasking with spells—maybe I should…”
