Dual Cultivation God Returns

Lian Zhiqiu was standing in the guest reception room of the mansion at the Peak of Unity, her eyes capturing Wu Long's wryly smiling face.

"Haha... Palace Master, we have guests"

He lightly laughed as he saw a familiar gaze, light smile and raising eyebrow of the stunning beauty.

"...I can see that"

"Eh?... You mean... M-my apologies Palace Master Lian... we didn't mean to barge in uninvited..."

Qiu Yilao first slightly widened her eyes at his words and the strange atmosphere, but then as a realization hit her, bowed toward the Great Seductress, as the latter chuckled, shaking her head.

'What is this man thinking?!'

The master of the Frozen Garden Palace inwardly screamed in bewilderment.

"Please raise your head, Palace Master Qiu.

It is not your fault for takingby surprise, and while I am learning about it only now, your visit is indeed welcsince you received an invitation"

Lian Zhiqiu smiled, though her look told Wu Long that they were still going to continue this discussion later.

"But..."

"Disciple Wu invited you while he had the Sect Master's token, meaning I gave him the authority to act on my behalf in any capacity"

And while Qiu Yilao still had sdoubts, the Great Seductress simply laughed the issue off, her explanation finally somewhat relieving the former.

Grand Elder Gan, who already had beads of sweat run down the side of his face, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Long nodded with a slightly smug 'of course, Palace Master understands my intentions, it's all as it should be' smile that made Lian Zhiqiu doubt her ability to hold it together.

She knew he was teasing her, but the expression he made truly tested the limits of her self-control.

---

"Hmm, I get the gist of the events now. What happened to your Sect was unfortunate, I can sympathize as it has happened to mine as well"

Lian Zhiqiu spoke thoughtfully, but seeing Wu Long's wry gaze saying 'Can you really sympathize?' had an urge to smack him with something heavy.

He knew very well what kind of Sect Master she was, practically laughing out loud at this very moment.

'You! ... I'm trying to be considerate here for once!'

She threw him a piercing gaze with a sound transmission, which only made the smile in his eyes more apparent.

"...yes, my apologies Palace Master Lian, with all that has happened..."

Qiu Yilao almost gasped, covering her mouth as it completely slipped her mind that Yin Yang Unity Palace has gone through the sordeal as them. Though they did not leave their Spiritual Land and prevailed over the traitors, the damage that ensued was by no means small.

Though it was understandable that someone who governed a Great Sect did not pay that much attention to something that happened to a small and seemingly insignificant Sect such as this one, being on the receiving end of such trouble has seemingly put everything into perspective for her.

"Hahaha, not at all, Palace Master Qiu. There has been no offense taken. And you are welcto stay here as long as you need"

Lian Zhiqiu, in turn, knew Wu Long's plans to approach the Frozen Garden Palace, so it was natural she welcomed them in without so much as mentioning any inconvenience or reimbursement.

It was also true that the Sect was currently half-empty and welcoming the Frozen Garden Palace was not a burden at all. Not to mention her general attitude toward the Sect's matters.

"Thank you very much, Palace Master Lian"

Qiu Yilao spoke in a slightly introspective mood after the realization from before.

"Grand Elder Gan's delegation is welchere as well, though I am not sure if you would be comfortable staying in a Sect of Dual Cultivators"

Lian Zhiqiu's eyes turned to the bald man who returned a wide smile.

"Hahaha! Palace Master Lian is truly generous! No need to worry about us as there are none who would be swayed in our midst.

And while we would like to stay here longer, we must return and report back everything that happened to our Sect soon. We will only stay a few days to thwart off unnecessary attention of our now common foes"

He slightly nodded, and the Grand Elder grinned, understanding that it was safe to speak about their alliance talks in front of Lian Zhiqiu, at the stgetting a tacit acknowledgement that she knew about his true extent of prowess and knowledge.

"I see, very well then. We would extend our hospitality as long as you need it"

Lian Zhiqiu nodded gracefully, and the three continued to speak for stwhile Wu Long went out to meet with Sui Luxiao who has arrived here not long ago with Feng Yi.

They cunder protection of Liang Yuhan who escorted them here for safety and then left, returning to the Mansion in the Fantian Kingdom.

Sui Luxiao stood in her new office, which resembled her old one slightly in that it oversaw the Main Administrative Hall of her company.

Though it was now rarely used as her three sons were the ones who gradually took over the day-to-day operations and direct management, leaving her more tto plan big strategy and be with Wu Long, leading the company through them.

But she did need to cin person as the talks with the Tuamei Kingdom that Wu Long was talking about were going smoothly and there was a delegation arriving soon.

Even though her sons could potentially handle it, she viewed it with elevated importance because it was something he needed, overseeing the talks herself.

"Missed me?"

A familiar voice resounded from her side as she looked in the window, her eyes lighting up with joy while she turned to the door.

"Wu Long!"

She ran into his embrace, bringing a smile to his face, but sensing his condition as they were now very close, her eyes filled with worry, looking into his.

"Haha, don't worry, just a few minor scratches. There will be no problem as long as I get srest"

"Then why don't you..."

"I will, I just wanted to greet you since you were nearby, and give you sencouragement before the big talks start"

He put a finger on her lips, speaking in a gentle, soothing tone.

Her doubts and worries melted in his eyes when she looked at them, a tender look appearing in hers after hearing his words.

Their faces neared one another as he lightly caressed her lower lip, and then their mouths met in a kiss.

She sighed as their lips parted, her breath a little trembling as their faces were still stuck together, cheek to cheek as he breathed in her mesmerizing sweet scent.

"You should really go rest now"

Her voice was reluctant to part after just reuniting, but soft and caring, though contrary to her words she did not move away, refusing to do so first.

"I will, don't worry"

"How can I not, when you always are so reckless? You think we didn't hear from Ling'er?"

"Haha, she has a tendency to overexaggerate how reckless my behavior is"

Directly support the authors on Web!

"It's hard to believe that she ever overexaggerates anything, besides I heard stories from others..."

"Haa~, fine, fine, I'll go take srest so you don't worry. Though you are welcto joinas soon as you are done"

"Haha, as counterintuitive that sounds, I am very tempted to do so"

"Counterintuitive? You may not know but Dual Cultivators do recuperate faster by engaging in cultivation with each other"

As he spoke her eyes widened, their faces finally parting.

"Then... I will be helping you if we cultivate?"

"Of course. Zhiqiu will be joiningas soon as she is free. And Ziyan is currently with PrDisciple Xue Bing visiting Her Highness the Imperial Princess, but she will join as well. I will also ask Yi'er if she's interested.

But that type of cultivation is more taxing, so you should first deal with everything you need to do, as you will be too exhausted to do anything after"

He chuckled, bringing a blush to her cheeks as she nodded, resolved to efficiently deal with her business to join him as fast as she could without compromising the quality of her work.

Wu Long left her office and soon arrived at the Peak of Unity's mansion once more, though this tnot going to the reception room and passing through to the private part.

Feng Yi was observing the scenery from a balcony of her room, but sensing a gaze from behind turned around, her olive green eyes filled with a sense of longing rapidly changing to happiness.

She did not wait for him to completely enter the balcony, running up to him and weaving her hands around his neck, her chest pressing into him.

"You were gone too long"

She lightly rebuked him, though her words were not convincing at all since they did not match her expression or the tightness of her hands around him at all.

"Haha, so you cto cpickup?"

"Mmm... partially... but I also chere to study..."

"Study?... I see. Haha, how thoughtful of you"

He first raised his eyebrow but then realized that he took with him the only true Dual Cultivator - Hua Ziyan, leaving this starting one with no one to learn from.

And the only place she could learn about the path she was starting on was here.

She slightly blushed but did not evade his gaze, her eyes filling with a little confidence that made a mischievous glint appear in his.

"...!? You're injured..."

She then sensed his condition, her eyes widening and filling with worry and dismay. Her bond with him, although already strong was established not long ago so she was still getting used to sensing her connection with him in detail.

She was also less talented in sensing and manipulating her internal energies than Sui Luxiao whose bond was only a month or two older than hers.

"Mm, minor scratches. I was actually hoping you could helpwith it"

"Of course, what can I do?"

"Cultivate with me"

"...huh?"

"Cultivate with me"

"I heard you, but... haa~ can't you be serious about this? It's a large wound... even though you seem to be stable..."

"I am serious..."

He chuckled, explaining to her exactly as he did to Sui Luxiao before as her eyes showed first surprise, then slight hesitation, and then a determined look.

"Mm, if you say so... then..."

Her eyes moved to the bed in her room, but he smiled and led her to the master bedroom since the bed there was much larger, explaining that others will be joining them soon after.
