Chapter 11: 11. Tense Night
Chapter 11
In the semi-darkness of the richly furnished room, two heavy breathings belonging to the newlywed couple could be heard.
- Ha-ha, just a little bit more, I'm almost done.
- Faster, Ha, we need more.
- Almost there.
- I feel something coming!
- AH!
Ke Qing suddenly lost her strength with a loud cry and fell into my arms. However, I was also so exhausted that under her, albeit small, weight I literally fell onto the bed. I couldn't even move properly, but despite my fatigue there was a smile on my lips, because I had managed.
Well, I guess what's going on requires a little explanation. Unfortunately, there was no spark between us that led to us suddenly deciding to spend our missed wedding night.
Everything is much simpler and more complicated at the same time. Having heard what kind of fucked up shit will happen in our world and that some incidents that could potentially harm the whole of Taivat will have to be resolved by just one person, although I'm not sure that the twins are people. Ke Qing suddenly realized that her current strength is generally insufficient and it would be nice to help the traveler/ku in saving our world. And although she initially thought that it was not worth interfering in the affairs of other regions, what is threatening from Sumeru is a good enough reason to intervene, as is Natlan. You can say as much as you like that the continuous war between the pyro region and the abyss is their problem, but the fact is that if the abyss can fully break through and gain a foothold there, then it will only be a matter of time before the whole world is drawn into a bloody war, and it will still be good if the Archons can join forces to deal with the danger at once, otherwise the option cannot be ruled out in which the regions will fall one after another before the onslaught of the abyss.
How does all this relate to the fact that a half-naked and extremely exhausted girl is lying on top of me now? It's simple. She remembered the method that was passed on to Bai Zhu today and decided that the knowledge I had received and the way to become stronger was a hint that I needed to take matters into my own hands and, in an ultimatum, said that she wanted me to help her obtain the Dendro element. Naturally, at first I argued, after all, the last thing I wanted was to harm her, but all my arguments were shattered by Ke Qing's iron determination, as well as her words that as the owner of the eye of the god, she was very resistant to the forces of the elements, so in case of danger she could always stop.
I'll tell you, helping someone else form a core was much more difficult than forming one myself, and if I didn't have one, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it. We started at sunset, and now, judging by the light that began to penetrate through the window, it was already dawn. I sat the whole night, sending my Dendro energy into the girl's body through her bare back and helped her direct the energy correctly until she eventually began to take some of this energy under her control, eventually turning it into her own. It was an extremely tiring process, but we still managed it, and now my wife has officially embarked on the path of the Adepts, and now I, enjoying the warmth of my beloved girl, have fallen asleep.
I woke up literally a couple of hours later because someone opened the door to the room and opening my eyes, I saw the maid looking out from behind the door. Who, however, having seen us lying in an embrace, was already intending to leave.
- Yuan Li, - I called the girl by name.
- Yes, young master? - the girl stopped.
- Tell the others not to disturb us until noon.
"As you say," the maid answered me, closing the door.
Meanwhile, I was looking at the sleeping girl, who in her sleep had completely climbed on top of me. She looked so cute in her sleep that I probably spent about five minutes just looking at her, ignoring the system notification.
[Congratulations to the host on achieving the achievements "Spreading Power" and "Bonds", not only were you able to help another person who does not have the appropriate element on the path of improvement without the help of the system, but you also created an extremely strong bond with him.]
[The difficulty of completed achievements is being calculated, as well as possible rewards... the calculation is complete.]
[Rewards: Elemental Cultivation Method (host's choice), Pair Cultivation Method.]
[Please make your choice and accept the rewards.]
Well, this is all quite unusual, but now that the system has mentioned it, I seem to really feel something unusual, and no, I'm not talking about a morning erection from the proximity of such a beautiful girl as Ke Qing, but about a strange feeling of fatigue, peace and comfort, mixed with a feeling of slight chills. At first, I would have thought that these were my feelings, but in the end it became clear that these were Ke Qing's feelings! And what's more important, I felt a connection between our cores, I felt that at any moment I could give her some of my energy, and for some reason I was absolutely sure that there would be no problems with this.
However, since I feel that she is cold, then naturally this needs to be corrected, so without thinking twice, I covered us with a blanket, and then, closing my eyes and preparing myself for pain in advance, I hoped for a quick shutdown and turned to the system.
"I choose the Electro cultivation method" - why Electro? It's simple, really. I don't have easy access to other elements to get them, and with Electro, it will be possible to give Ke Qing the method, where she first makes the first shani, so to speak, and then helps me, just as I helped her. And based on how difficult the process was, getting the Electro core by her will be a must. - "I accept all the awards"

"Was that even possible?!" I managed to think before I passed out.
