The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Shen Yifei was surprised that Leng Rushuang would ask so directly. He swallowed hard and choked a little.

He coughed twice, then looked at Leng Rushuang with a sincere expression.

"Miss Leng, I... well, although my cultivation level isn't high, my body is still pretty good. Mine... should... should be usable. If you don't think it's suitable, you can find someone else..."

"No need to look for anyone else," Leng Rushuang interrupted him. "It's yours."

Shen Yifei was stunned for a moment.

He had prepared a whole host of arguments, but he didn't use a single one. This woman seemed too easy to hook.

"Well... Miss Leng, look at this..." Shen Yifei pointed to the side hall inside, "There are rooms inside, and the beds are quite large..."

"lead the way!"

Two words, crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Yifei was overjoyed inside, but he had to keep a straight face and act like a gentleman.

The door to the side hall was open, and Shen Yifei stepped aside to let Leng Rushuang go in first.

After Leng Rushuang entered, she first saw a clean large bed and a hot spring that was still steaming.

"close the door."

Shen Yifei obediently closed the door and then went to Leng Rushuang's side.

"Miss Leng, do you like the environment here?"

"Take it off!" Leng Rushuang said calmly.

Shen Yifei swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "This woman is too direct. She just took off her clothes and is already getting ready to start?"

But then he thought about it again and realized that this was good too; it was dry and straightforward, saving him the trouble of talking.

"Fine, I'll take them off." Shen Yifei pretended to be reluctant and slowly began to take off his clothes. He hesitated for a while when taking off the last piece.

For a moment, a hint of fear appeared in Leng Rushuang's eyes! She just watched, but her heart was already pounding wildly.

Shen Yifei felt very uncomfortable under her gaze. He was already naked, and this woman showed no intention of making a move. What was she waiting for?

"Miss Leng, do you need my help...?"

"No need, I can do it myself, Sect Leader Shen. It will be quick. I hope you can bear with me for a little while."

It was rare for Leng Rushuang to say so much, which made Shen Yifei feel a little uncomfortable.

How can you call me so fast? You haven't seen my strength. A day and a night is no problem for me.

He was still eagerly waiting for Leng Rushuang to take off her clothes, and had even planned his next move.

"Miss Leng, I'm ready. Shall we begin?"

Leng Rushuang nodded and reached out to pull out a short sword.

The sword was only the length of a palm, with a snow-white blade that emitted a faint chill; it was clearly no ordinary weapon.

When Shen Yifei saw the sword, the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Miss Leng, what...what are you doing with that sword?"

"Extract the essence." Leng Rushuang's tone remained calm. "How do you think you'll extract it?"

Shen Yifei's face turned pale instantly.

Damn it, no wonder this woman agreed so readily; she was going to cut herself open with a sword right there and then!

Cut him with a sword? Wouldn't that kill him?

"Miss Leng, wait...wait...wait!" Shen Yifei took three steps back, one hand covering his groin, the other outstretched in a gesture of protest. "Listen to me, no sword, you can't use a sword!"

Leng Rushuang, holding the short sword, tilted her head to look at him. "How can I take it without a sword?"

"That...that...that requires...it requires a process. It can't be cut out. This thing isn't an egg; when you open it, you get the egg white and yolk. It needs spiritual energy to transform into essence!"

Shen Yifei clutched his crotch, his expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Leng Rushuang, holding the short sword, tilted her head to look at him, her eyes full of confusion. "The process? What process?"

"It's...it's that process." Shen Yifei felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. Explaining what "that process" meant to an ice beauty in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm was more exhausting than fighting Ye Qianqiu.

Leng Rushuang's brows furrowed more and more tightly, the chill emanating from the short sword grew stronger, and the temperature in the entire room dropped.

Shen Yifei shuddered, feeling that if he didn't explain things clearly soon, he might have to become sworn brothers with Ye Wuhen in the future.

"Miss Leng, please put the sword down first." Shen Yifei cautiously reached out, trying to take the short sword from her hand.

Leng Rushuang didn't move, but she didn't refuse either, letting him take the short sword away.

Shen Yifei tossed the short sword aside, let out a long breath, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Essence isn't something you can just cut off and use from a piece of flesh. It needs... um... the union of yin and yang, and the circulation of spiritual energy, to be extracted from the body."

"The union of Yin and Yang?" A cold glint flashed in Leng Rushuang's eyes. "You mean..."

"Yes, that's exactly what you mean." Shen Yifei decided to go all in since they had already come to this point. "This thing can only be produced during dual cultivation, and it can only be collected at my last moment."

Leng Rushuang remained silent.

The room was so quiet that you could hear the hot spring bubbling, one gurgling sound after another, in rhythm with Shen Yifei's heartbeat.

"You mean," Leng Rushuang finally spoke, "that you want to cultivate with me?"

"This is for treating an illness, this is for treating an illness," Shen Yifei quickly corrected. "Miss Leng, you need to understand, this isn't me trying to take advantage of you, it's just that your poison requires this treatment. I'm only doing this reluctantly to save you..."

"Reluctantly?"

Shen Yifei immediately felt a thin layer of frost on his body.

Shen Yifei felt that his mouth was asking for a slap, so he quickly changed his words, "No, not at all. What I mean is, I'm willing to do anything for your illness."

The Demon of Passion, watching from inside, was very anxious. "Hurry up and do it! Don't you think she's getting angrier and angrier?"

"Can't you plant some more seeds of affection?"

"One hundred and eight, that's the limit. He's a heartless person to begin with, so it's already quite good that he's done this much. If you can't keep up, don't blame me."

After a long silence, Leng Rushuang uttered a few words, "If you lie to me, I will spare not a single member of the Tianyan Sect!"

Then, she pointed to the large bed and said, "Get in!"

Shen Yifei obediently got into bed, and then watched as Leng Rushuang also took off her clothes.

"What's next?" Leng Rushuang asked.

Shen Yifei patted the person next to him. "Miss Leng, come and lie down first."

Leng Rushuang hesitated for a moment, but still lay down.

Her body was stiff and straight, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, unblinking.

Shen Yifei sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to hold her hand.

Her hands were icy cold, her fingers were long and soft, and they felt great to hold.

But at this moment, these hands are trembling slightly.

"Miss Leng, don't be nervous," Shen Yifei said softly. "Just think of it as... just think of it as the massage I gave you last time, only this time..."

"What are you going to do this time?"

"It's still massage, it's just... just a different place."

Liu Mengli burst out laughing inside the cauldron. "Master, you're such a smooth talker, you were born to deceive women."

Shen Yifei ignored her and began to slowly guide Leng Rushuang to relax.

He gently removed the veil from Leng Rushuang's face.

Leng Rushuang suddenly said, "This is the second time you've seen me like this!"

Shen Yifei paused, "Miss Leng, your stunning beauty should be shown to others."

Leng Rushuang remained silent. Shen Yifei remembered being warned last time not to tell anyone, or else he would be silenced.

Shen Yifei's touch was very gentle, and Leng Rushuang's stiff body slowly relaxed.

"Miss Leng, shall we begin?"
