The Cold and Aloof Palace Master's Daily Demon-Slaying Life

Chapter 113 Taiyin Fruit Position

Xiao Bai turned around, lifted the slightly heavy hem of her wedding dress, and awkwardly but enthusiastically ran to the sandalwood couch in the room. She then sat sideways on the edge of the bed, trying her best to imitate the "dignified" posture that a lady should have.

After sitting down, she put a red veil over her head, covering her little face which was full of excitement and anticipation.

Then she sat there quietly, motionless, waiting for her "husband sister" to lift the veil.

After waiting a few moments without hearing any movement, she couldn't resist any longer. She quietly lifted a corner of her veil, revealing a bright, eager eye, and looked at Zuo Qingqiu, who was still sitting in the chair. She softly urged, "Sister! Come on! Come and lift my red veil! Once it's lifted, I can officially call you my husband!"

Looking at her adorable appearance, so impatient yet trying her best to follow the "procedure," Zuo Qingqiu felt a soft ripple of helplessness in her heart.

Alright, alright. Since Xiaobai likes playing this "house" game, and it's rare that she's put so much effort into preparing, I'll play with her for a while.

Just consider it as — to make the child happy.

So, Zuo Qingqiu got up and slowly walked to the bedside.

She reached out and gently pinched a corner beneath the red veil with her fingertips.

It felt soft and delicate to the touch, with the warmth of sunshine. She used a little force to lift it up.

The veil slipped off, revealing a carefully made-up little face underneath.

A light touch of rouge made her skin appear even whiter than snow.

A light touch of lip rouge added a touch of allure to her ever-chattering little mouth.

Her updo and gorgeous gold jewelry gave her a touch of sophistication and elegance that befits a "young girl," despite her usual tomboyish nature.

Especially her eyes, wide open and crystal clear, filled with pure joy, anticipation, and a hint of shyness at being watched, as if she had fallen into a sky full of stars.

"Husband!" Xiaobai called out crisply the moment the veil was lifted, her voice full of joy at completing the "ritual".

Then, without waiting for Zuo Qingqiu's reaction, she opened her arms and rushed into Zuo Qingqiu's arms like a fledgling returning to its nest, tightly wrapping her arms around Zuo Qingqiu's slender waist.

She buried her face in Zuo Qingqiu's chest, nuzzled against him, sighed contentedly, and then repeated in an even softer, more coquettish tone, "Husband~ I want a hug~".

Zuo Qingqiu was slightly taken aback by her series of actions of "pounce, hug, rub, and act coquettishly," and then burst into laughter.

She habitually raised her hand, intending to pat Xiaobai's head as usual, but found that his head was covered with gold hairpins and jewels, and there was nowhere to start.

She had no choice but to place her hands on Xiaobai's back, gently embracing the small figure dressed in a heavy wedding gown, and patting it tenderly.

Little White nestled even closer to her, then pressed its advantage, demanding, "I want to sit on your lap! Just like before!"

Zuo Qingqiu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to hold her and sit on the edge of the bed. Then she adjusted her position so that Xiaobai could sit horizontally on her lap, like holding a large doll.

Xiao Bai was finally satisfied and comfortably leaned against Zuo Qingqiu's chest, one hand still around her waist, the other unconsciously playing with the tassels hanging from her wedding dress.

The palace fell silent, with only the glow of the palace lanterns swirling within, casting a rosy glow on Xiao Bai's face.

She nestled in Zuo Qingqiu's arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, feeling the warmth and fragrance of his embrace, and felt incredibly safe and content.

The two embraced quietly, neither of them speaking, enjoying this rare, peaceful, and warm moment.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Bai suddenly seemed to remember something. She raised her head in Zuo Qingqiu's arms, her big eyes sparkling under the pearly light, with an innocent yet earnest look of inquiry.

"Sister," she whispered, her tone filled with curiosity and a hint of eagerness, "I heard—"

Some incredibly powerful supernatural abilities can change a person's appearance, even—even temporarily transform them into a man? Sister, do you possess such abilities?

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qingqiu looked down at her and met her clear eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. She understood somewhat, but also felt a little amused and exasperated.

This little guy's thoughts jump around so fast. Just a moment ago he was playing house about wedding dresses, and now he's talking about magical transformations?

She gently pinched Xiaobai's soft cheeks, not directly answering whether she knew or not. Instead, she deliberately put on a stern face and said in a warning tone, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long? Instead of pondering these unorthodox supernatural abilities, you should cultivate properly and solidify your foundation. You are only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment now, and you are still far from the true Great Dao."

Xiao Bai wasn't annoyed when her cheek was pinched. Instead, she rubbed against Zuo Qingqiu's palm and continued to ask, "Oh, sister, tell me first! Does such a supernatural power really exist? If you learn it and temporarily become a man, then we can really consummate our marriage, and then I can give you a dragon baby, right?" She said it as if it were a matter of course, as simple and natural as deciding what pastries to eat tomorrow.

Zuo Qingqiu was genuinely amused by her innocent and surprisingly straightforward idea. Her cool and aloof brows relaxed completely, and a helpless yet amused ripple appeared in her eyes.

She shook her head and patiently explained, "These kinds of transformation abilities do exist. There is a supernatural ability called 'The Appearance of Man and Woman,' which, when cultivated to a high level, can indeed temporarily change one's appearance, physique, and even simulate some physiological characteristics of the opposite sex. Some male cultivators who practice special yin-attribute techniques can even use this supernatural ability to transform into a female form in order to better suit the technique; conversely, some female cultivators can also transform into a male form."

She paused, looking at Xiaobai's brightening eyes, then changed the subject, shattering her beautiful illusion: "However, this is ultimately just an external change; it won't truly alter the essence and origin of life. In other words, even if I temporarily transform into a male body using this supernatural power, in essence, I am still me. My origin, my foundation of the Great Dao, will not become truly masculine. Therefore—"

She looked at Xiaobai's gradually drooping face and gently tapped the tip of her nose: "Even if you consummate your marriage, you won't be able to have offspring."

"Oh? I see—" Xiaobai drawled in disappointment, pouting, but quickly asked again, unwilling to give up, "What if two women want to have a baby of their own without using this kind of deceptive magic? Is there any other way?"

Zuo Qingqiu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"Really?!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up instantly, like flames that had been rekindled.

"Yes. The wonders of the world are endless. As far as I know, the [Taiyin Fruit Position] holds some power over reproduction and creation. Therefore, within the Taiyin lineage, there are indeed some secret techniques that can assist living beings in conceiving offspring without relying on the union of Yin and Yang. There are also many highly skilled Daoist couples in the world who, for various reasons, are childless, and they will go to the holy land where the Taiyin lineage is located, paying a huge price to obtain a secret technique to give birth to a blood-related offspring."

"The Taiyin Lineage? The Taiyin Holy Land?" Xiaobai blinked, curious about these two new terms. "Where is this Taiyin Holy Land? Can we go there to ask for a secret technique?" Her hope was immediately rekindled, as if she could already see the happy future of holding a miniature version of her older sister.
