“What’s gotten into Little Aunt all of a sudden?”
Shui Bailan couldn’t help but voice her confusion. Little Aunt had suddenly acted like a wildcat in heat, aggressively kissing Yan Zhen, which had truly startled them all.
“Could it be Qi Deviation?”
But even Qi Deviation wouldn’t turn someone into a nympho, right? None of them cultivated any lewd or wicked techniques.
Mentor Aunt lowered her head to look at Yan Zhen in her arms. He immediately cleared his name.
“I don’t know either. I was just following Mentor Yu Xuan’s instructions, releasing Great Crimson Heaven Flame for Little Aunt to absorb and refine. I didn’t do anything else.”
Shui Bailan had been channeling mystic power to him the whole time, so she naturally knew his mystic power hadn’t fluctuated at all from start to finish. She gave an apologetic smile.
Mentor Yu Xuan pondered for a moment.
“Little Aunt’s symptoms are essentially a bodily thirst. Once stimulated by the Great Crimson Heaven Flame, the desires pent up inside her will burst forth. It might look like an outbreak of her condition, but after it passes, the symptoms will ease. A few more rounds should bring her back to normal.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Yan Zhen, wondering if a few more rounds meant Little Aunt would aggressively kiss him a few more times.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that her own head was sprouting a bit of green.
Family Head Yu Lu and Elder Yu Yan both furrowed their brows upon hearing this.
So, this dual cultivation treatment would force their conditions to manifest directly? Even more intensely than usual?
Elder Great-Aunt’s affliction made her skin excessively moist, so supple that a firm pinch could actually draw water from it. That was why she had to add Water-Absorbing Runes to her clothes to keep her body dry.
If she dual cultivated with Yan Zhen, once the Great Crimson Heaven Flame entered her body, would she break out in sweat all over, leaving her drenched from head to toe?
Elder Great-Aunt grew a little worried about her image.
As for Family Head Yu Lu, she had already begun to feel afraid. Her condition was the most shameful to speak of. Her daughter was already in her twenties, yet her body had started lactating again, sometimes swelling her breasts to the point of pain until she had to manually express the milk for relief.
If she underwent this dual cultivation therapy and the Great Crimson Heaven Flame entered her body, she’d probably end up spraying—
The mere thought of such an unseemly scene made Yu Family Head Mother-in-Law’s delicate frame tremble lightly, a faint ache stirring in her chest.
As they pondered, her daughter spoke up.
“Little Aunt should be fine now. Let her rest alone for a bit… Yan Zhen, are you tired?”
Yan Zhen, still held in Mentor Aunt’s embrace, shook his head.
“Not tired yet. Just startled by Little Aunt. Might not sleep well tonight.”
Shui Bailan chuckled inwardly. Her jade hand gently patted his head, as if cooing, “There, there, no need to be scared.”
Mentor Yu Xuan shot Yan Zhen a helpless glance.
“Little Aunt’s already pitiful enough. Don’t tease her about this, or if she gets embarrassed and punches you in a fit of anger, I won’t step in to help.”
Yan Zhen blinked, saying nothing, but inwardly scheming some mischief.
A rare handle like this—why not use it?
Mentor Yu Xuan turned her gaze to her own aunt, noticing how she still had her arms wrapped around Yan Zhen’s waist from behind. Her expression turned a bit odd.
“Aunt, are you tired?”
Shui Bailan caught the strange look in her niece’s eyes and snapped back to her senses. Her heart skipped a beat. She subtly withdrew her arms, putting some distance between herself and Yan Zhen. She tucked a strand of her long white hair behind her ear and adjusted the glasses on her nose bridge to mask her nervousness.
“Not tired at all. Shall we continue?”
She looked toward her sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law.
Yu Family Head Mother-in-Law’s lithe body tensed. She said coolly,
“Sister, you go first.”
Elder Great-Aunt picked up on her younger sister’s apprehension and nodded. She walked to an empty spot on the great array and sat down cross-legged, smiling faintly.
“Trouble you for this, Little Yan Zhen.”
She extended both palms.
Yan Zhen straightened his posture and pressed his palms against hers.
From behind, Shui Bailan once more placed her hands against Yan Zhen’s back.
At this sight, Mentor Yu Xuan formed a hand seal, activating the array and commencing the second round of dual cultivation.
Family Head Yu Lu watched her elder sister intently, desperately hoping her guess was wrong.
Yet, as strand after strand of Great Crimson Heaven Flame was absorbed and refined by Elder Yu Yan, a flush of pink gradually colored her refined features.
Half an hour passed in utter silence. Elder Great-Aunt was soon drenched in fragrant sweat. The perspiration soaked her loose night robe, causing it to cling to her skin and perfectly outline her mature, voluptuous curves.
She had previously used mystic power to ward off the spring water’s dampness, but now she was soaked through from inside out. Her fair skin gleamed with a lustrous sheen, like the finest jade.
Mentor Yu Xuan and Family Head Yu Lu—the mother and daughter duo—sharply noticed a small white spot appear on Elder Great-Aunt’s soaked deep-blue night robe.
That white spot slowly expanded, and soon a similar patch emerged beside it, spreading gradually as well.
—The robe was tearing!
—No! It was being corroded! The sweat seeping from Elder Great-Aunt’s skin contained her potent mystic power!
As Elder Yu Yan sweated more profusely, the holes in her robe multiplied.
The mother and daughter could only watch helplessly, not daring to intervene and disrupt the dual cultivation, lest all three of them get hurt.
Another half hour ticked by. Elder Yu Yan’s night robe had been corroded almost entirely, reduced to ragged strips like some risqué lingerie, exposing vast expanses of dazzling white, tender flesh both above and below.
Mentor Yu Xuan and Family Head Yu Lu both averted their eyes, unable to look directly at their elder aunt or elder sister.
Soon, the sweat on Elder Yu Yan’s body evaporated dry. The crimson flames gradually dimmed and extinguished. The pale blue Water Mystic Force also dissipated. Yan Zhen, Elder Yu Yan, and Shui Bailan sequentially withdrew their techniques.
Elder Yu Yan was the first to open her eyes, feeling utterly relaxed and comfortable, as if a great burden had been lifted.
“It works this well?” Elder Great-Aunt was pleasantly surprised, her eyes narrowing into joyful crescent moons. “Truly thanks to Little Yan Zhen. Bringing you here as a guest was the right call.”
Yan Zhen and Shui Bailan also opened their eyes, about to speak—only to catch sight of Elder Yu Yan’s nearly naked, exquisite jade body reflected in their vision. They froze, then awkwardly looked down, not daring to stare.
“Gr-Great-Aunt…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Sister Yu Yan, your clothes—”
“Hm?”
Elder Yu Yan looked down, her view as always blocked by her proudly towering twin peaks.
But unlike usual, those peaks were now bare snowy summits, complete with blooming romantic cherry blossoms at their tips—even the crimson jewels that she normally kept hidden had emerged, proudly on display.
“Oh dear, how did my night robe end up torn like this?”
Elder Yu Yan hurriedly covered her chest. More than shame, she felt baffled.
“Sister.”
Family Head Yu Lu promptly retrieved an outer robe from her storage ring and draped it over her.
Elder Yu Yan asked,
“Xiao Lu, what happened? Did you and Xuan’er see?”
“It’s like this, Great-Aunt…”
Mentor Yu Xuan explained the situation.
Elder Yu Yan sighed upon hearing it.
“I see. It was the Water Mystic Force in my sweat. This never happened before.”
Her guess had been spot on—this dual cultivation method made their conditions manifest even more intensely.
She looked toward her younger sister. Family Head Yu Lu’s heart jolted. She coughed twice and said solemnly,
“That’s enough for tonight. Son-in-Law Yan Zhen must be tired too. Let’s head back for now.”
