Outside, Deng Tianyu’s thoughts were somewhat chaotic.
Although he wanted Aunt Rong to break the shackles of the Primordial Yin Spirit Body, thereby raising her realm and gaining longer lifespan…
He could never have imagined that the cultivation method capable of breaking these shackles was actually Dual Cultivation.
The key point was that Aunt Rong had even taken the initiative to suggest they cultivate the “Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art.”
Although he and Aunt Rong had never pierced that final paper-thin veil between them, both knew clearly in their hearts what cultivating the “Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art” signified.
It meant that from the moment they shared the medicinal bath together, the two would be Dao Companions.
“In name, she is my aunt. But in reality, she is also my Dao Companion?”
“Wouldn’t that make my relationship with Aunt Rong equal to my relationship with Shizun?”
Deng Tianyu inexplicably had this thought.
Back at the Purple Cloud Sect, when the two elders had been at odds, this very kind of relationship had been thrown out as an argument.
His Shizun, Ning Wan, was to him someone who was both teacher and mother, and in reality, they shared a sincere ‘sword-and-scabbard’ Friendship.
And Aunt Rong, to him, was an aunt who was becoming a mother figure, and now was moving toward the relationship of a Dao Companion.
Both elders held three layers of relationships with him, so it was pretty much a draw.
Deng Tianyu sighed deeply. “Ah! This path to becoming an Emperor is indeed somewhat difficult.”
He truly wished to develop along the proper path of the Path of Filial Piety, but Heaven does not always comply with man’s wishes.
“Tianyu, the medicinal bath is ready!”
Just then, a pleasant, slightly trembling voice rang out.
“Alright!” Deng Tianyu answered, and walked toward the bathroom.
“Aunt Rong, may I come in?”
He arrived before the bathroom door and knocked on the bamboo door.
Dong~ dong!
The clear sound rang out, as if striking the deepest part of one’s heart.
The atmosphere fell silent for a time, a silence tinged with a hint of intimacy.
Deng Tianyu was not impatient; he just quietly waited outside for Aunt Rong’s reply.
The silence did not last long before Qu Qirong’s voice came from inside. “Tianyu, Aunt Rong wishes to know… what kind of woman am I in your heart?”
Deng Tianyu paused to consider, then answered, “A dignified and elegant elder who spoils me and cares for me in every possible way. Also, my dearest ‘Aunt Rong’.”
Qu Qirong’s heart trembled. She spoke again. “But Aunt Rong is a full cycle of years older than you. If measured by age, I could even be your Mother Consort.”
Though she was unwilling to admit it, in terms of age, she was indeed a full cycle older than her Tianyu.
Deng Tianyu smiled slightly. “Age is not important! In cultivation, many can live for a thousand years, even ten thousand years.”
What he said was the truth, and also his heartfelt words.
After his words fell, the atmosphere fell silent for another moment.
Shortly after, Aunt Rong’s slightly trembling voice sounded again. “The door… is unlocked!”
“Hah… “
Deng Tianyu took a deep breath and slowly opened the bamboo door, then closed it behind him.
As far as the eye could see, mist swirled, and a warm, moist air rushed to meet him.
A folding screen appeared amidst the haze, with several articles of clothing and intimate garments draped over it.
One of them was unmistakably the light cyan palace dress Aunt Rong had worn today. Below the dress lay a pair of embroidered shoes, also the ones she wore today.
Deng Tianyu slowly approached the screen, his breathing inexplicably quickening.
In the hazy mist, he discovered that there were actually two bathtubs inside. One had water of a normal color, while the other was a light cyan, and he could sense the rich Spiritual Energy within it.
Clearly, the second tub was the medicinal bath.
“Aunt Rong, what is this…?”
Somewhat puzzled, Deng Tianyu looked toward the hazy figure of the extremely voluptuous and alluring woman soaking in the normal bath.
Her skin was like ice, her bones like jade, her flesh well-proportioned. Her graceful, alluring curves, coupled with the mature beauty’s plump, fair fullness, displayed grace and supple charm to the fullest!
On that peerlessly beautiful, rosy jade countenance, her beautiful eyes held a trace of moisture and tenderness. Three thousand strands of black hair naturally cascaded down.
Steam rose from the water’s surface, vaguely revealing her delicate, well-rounded collarbones and the full, abundant half-curves of her snowy white breasts.
The warm water had steamed her skin to a rosy white glow. Flower petals drifted on the water’s surface, dotting it with beautiful, vibrant colors.
“First, bathe. Then, you and I will soak in the medicinal bath!”
Meeting her Tianyu’s burning gaze, Qu Qirong’s delicate body trembled, and her whole body felt somewhat weak.
First bathe, then soak in the medicinal bath?
Deng Tianyu was stunned, not understanding what this meant.
He remembered the first volume of the “Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art” concerning the medicinal bath… it didn’t seem to have such a requirement?
“It was my idea!” Seeming to know what Deng Tianyu was thinking, Qu Qirong bit her pearly teeth and explained.
She didn’t know why she wanted to do this either.
It was just that the words Ning Wan had said to her earlier kept echoing in her mind: “Have you ever helped Tianyu bathe?”
Driven by some strange impulse, Qu Qirong wanted to help her Tianyu bathe, just this once!
It was Aunt Rong’s idea?
Then there’s no problem!
But seeing Aunt Rong so shy and unnatural, Deng Tianyu proactively suggested, “How about I cover my eyes?”
“No need!” Qirong took a deep breath, suppressing the shyness in her heart. She had already made up her mind. “Tianyu, come here!”
From the moment she decided to cultivate the “Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art” with her Tianyu, she had already envisioned this scene.
Cover his eyes once, and then have to cover them a second time?
Besides, they had been fully unclothed before.
“Alright!”
Deng Tianyu didn’t hesitate much. He came to the bathtub, hung his clothes behind the screen, and then slowly entered the tub.
“Splash… “
Ripples spread across the water’s surface, also stirring waves in the hearts of the young man and the beautiful woman sitting across from each other.
At this moment, Aunt Rong picked up a gauze cloth, dampened it with warm water, and slowly began to wipe his back.
Such an action naturally made Deng Tianyu’s body stiffen. “Aunt Rong, what are you…?”
Qu Qirong asked, deeply concerned. “When you were young, did Ning, the Sect Leader, also bathe you like this?”
“When I was young?” Deng Tianyu subconsciously said, “Shizun would hold me in her arms…”
Back then, he was just a tiny little thing, completely at the mercy of his Shizun!
In her arms?
Qu Qirong’s thoughts were somewhat chaotic, but her gaze grew increasingly resolute.
Then, she embraced Deng Tianyu from behind, leaned close to his ear, and breathed out like an orchid. “Is it alright like this?”
“Aunt Rong, you really don’t need to compete with Shizun over this!”
Feeling the oppressive sensation of the full, soft breasts behind him, and with the rich, fragrant scent lingering at his nose, Deng Tianyu sighed softly.
He knew that Aunt Rong’s actions were very likely due to what Shizun had said yesterday.
“Splash… ” The gauze cloth brought up small droplets of water. Qu Qirong gently wiped Deng Tianyu’s cheek, revealing a doting, motherly smile. She didn’t deny it. “Perhaps that’s part of the reason, but more so… Aunt Rong has some regrets.”
“I regret that for so many years, I never took care of you, never fulfilled my due responsibilities.”
For sixteen years, she had missed so many beautiful memories with her Tianyu.
It was like a painting where only the middle was depicted, the later parts were being painted now, but the beginning was completely blank.
Therefore, Qu Qirong wanted to make up for this, to make this painting more real and complete.
