NOVEL NEXT Chapter 225: Desire for Growth.
Huo Yue opened her eyes, looking quite exhausted.
She tried to get up but felt a sharp sting in her crotch, so she lay back down a bit.
"Wow, Wei can be really scary in bed sometimes..."
A small smile appeared on her face as she gently placed a hand on her crotch, rubbing it for some comfort. Her waist ached a little too, but it just meant she enjoyed her night all that much.
But I guess I'm glad I went through with it. It makes sense why Lin told me not to get scared when I saw how big his d-di... *blush* jade stalk was. I'm sure she must've been scared too, well, I can't say the same for Aunt Zirou. I mean, she's a mature woman, so even if it was her first time seeing one, she probably wasn't as scared as I was. *giggle*
When she turned to the side, she noticed Yang Wei wasn't laying on the bed next to her anymore, which immediately made her worried. Frowning, she placed her hand on the spot he was supposed to be resting on, gently rubbing it with a sad look on her face.
Did he head out already? He didn't even wait for me to wake up... *sigh* Well, I guess I should get used to that. There's more important things to him than me... I guess.
Huo Yue forced herself to stand up from her bed and slowly walked out of the room in search of him.
She wrapped some sheets around her body and stepped into the small corridor.
Looking around, she still saw no signs of Yang Wei. "Hm, maybe he really did head out, possibly to cultivate some new technique..." she chuckled.
Then, she saw Tianyi crawling onto the hallway. Tianyi smiled when he saw Huo Yue, then the little dragon barked softly at her. "Rawr! Rawr!" Out of most of the people close to Yang Wei that Tianyi had met, the only ones he liked were Huo Yue and He Dongmei.
After all, the others never gave him any snacks.
Huo Yue crouched and spread out her arms a bit, saying, "Oh, Tianyi, good morning. Come give me a hug!" She grinned, displaying her pearly white teeth. When Tianyi saw this, his eyes sparkled, and he barked some more, "Rawr! Rawr! Rawr!" Then he ran towards Huo Yue and jumped into her arms.
Huo Yue giggled as she gently hugged him and patted his head affectionately, and the little dragon snuggled close to her. "So, do you know where Wei Shuai is?" she asked Tianyi.
The little dragon tilted his head several times and then barked again, using his nose to point in the right direction.
Huo Yue pointed towards the kitchen and said, "There...?" sounding very skeptical because it was the last place she'd ever consider checking.
Growing up with her mother's mindset, she believed there was no need for a man to concern himself with matters of the kitchen. Still, considering she'd checked almost everywhere but the kitchen, she decided to take Tianyi's guess.
She walked into the kitchen and felt extremely hot!
"W-what's going on here?!"
Huo Yue panicked a little when she saw someone holding a wok and cooking what looked like rice porridge, but this time it was golden in color.
After squinting through the small ripples of heat, smoke, and steam, she recognized the person. "W-Wei Shuai?!" she raised her voice a bit, her eyes wide open like they were about to light up an entire abyss.
Then she coughed a bit before asking, "W-what are you... doing?!"
Indeed, it was Yang Wei, using a wok to cook with what he hoped was pure elegance...
But the heat generated from what he was cooking ruined any semblance of elegance. While the place felt hot and suffocating to Huo Yue, Yang Wei wasn't particularly bothered by it at all. His blood Qi cultivation had strengthened his skin, making his fleshly body resilient to this kind of heat, and his lungs had also been strengthened, so even the lack of proper ventilation wouldn't kill him.
The place felt scorching hot, making Huo Yue's skin feel like it would burn. She rushed to the wooden windows and pushed them open, causing a surge of cross ventilation that eased her coughing.
Tianyi, relaxing on Huo Yue's shoulder, sighed, "Rawr..." wondering what Yang Wei was up to now.
It wasn't unusual for his master to embark on one strange experiment after another, but this one felt like the worst yet to him.
Huo Yue then hurried to Yang Wei, raising her voice sternly, "What are you doing?!"
Yang Wei greeted her casually, "Oh, Yue'er, you're up..."
Before he could explain, Huo Yue saw him holding a red-hot wok and immediately got scared, snatching it away from him.
"YOU SHOULDN'T BE HOLDING SOMETHING THAT HOT!"
However, she didn't realize she was doing the same thing until Yang Wei pointed at her holding the wok. "Uhhh..."
"EeeEEK!!"
Instantly, Huo Yue got shaken and dropped the wok immediately.
When this happened, Tianyi panicked with a loud howl, "Awwwooo!" worried that Huo Yue might've gotten hurt.
As for Yang Wei, he simply stood there with his arms folded, nodding, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Huo Yue looked at her hand and found not a single burn on it; it looked completely unharmed. "I-it doesn't hurt..." she said, thoroughly surprised.
Yang Wei flicked his sleeves stylishly, looking proud as ever. "As I expected..." he leaned forward a bit, asking, "Have you checked your aura this morning?"

"Huh?" Huo Yue then examined herself and realized a significant difference in her spiritual energy; she'd made a breakthrough. She rushed forward, exclaiming, "W-wait, how am I at the 1st level of Spirit Gathering Realm?! That shouldn't be possible!"
With a small smile, Yang Wei cleared his throat.
"While you were so caught up in enjoying my cooking, I used a few dual cultivation techniques on you..."
Huo Yue's face flushed with embarrassment at his vulgar words.
Yang Wei placed a hand on her head and smiled gently, "While I spent time with you during my small seclusion, it made me understand why you were always hesitant for us to take things to the next level. Initially, I thought it was because you felt we needed to build our relationship, but that's not it."
Huo Yue gently lifted her head to see Yang Wei's face. There had been many times when Yang Wei smiled at her with pure affection, but this was the first time she noticed the depth of love in his smile.
"Yue'er, you were only hesitant because you didn't want to get abandoned, right?"
Holding back her tears, Huo Yue nodded.
"Well, I'll make sure that doesn't happen. I cultivated Harmony Earth Veins when I was in a distant realm, which is what I used to breakthrough to Spirit Gathering Realm. But now that I have Stellar Essence Meridians, I knew it was the right time to give these to you.
Your breast milk and the fluids in your jade gate had a lot of impurities, so I had to arouse you well enough to remove all of them while also using the refined Yin energy of my physique to completely transform your meridian pathways."
He was always eager to sleep with Huo Yue so he could at least remove the impurities, but he didn't want to rush her.
Huo Yue wanted to say something, but her voice simply choked in her throat, lost in her tears. By this time, Tianyi had already left so he wouldn't interrupt his master's intimate moment.
Yang Wei pulled Huo Yue in and hugged her passionately, "I have to make sure you're able to cultivate at your best, so that in a thousand years or so, you'll be an Immortal, and not an old bag of bones." He hugged even tighter, "I don't want you to regret loving and trusting me... Yue'er, you're not talentless at all.
It was always the impurities in your system that slowed down your progress, and I'm sorry I so much time to find a solution."
Huo Yue immediately reciprocated the hug, tightly wrapping her own arms around him as she cried into his chest.
