After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 21.2
The other person’s spirit was truly strange. Upon initial contact, she could feel a cold and icy sensation. For Song Linlin, this was actually quite pleasant. Her pure Yin body was highly tolerant of Yin energy. However, this was immediately followed by a hot sensation. The feelings of cold and heat existed simultaneously, alternating with each other.
Song Linlin instantly frowned, her eyelashes blinking rapidly, nearly opening her eyes.
She felt her scalp tingling. A strange sensation emerged from her mind, stimulating various nerves and making her body feel odd.
And this was only the result of just a slight contact with the other person’s spirit, which made Song Linlin instinctively want to pull away.
However, just as she was about to escape, she heard Chi Qianning’s voice. The other person’s breathing had also become heavier, carrying an obvious gasp. “Don’t hide… keep coming over.”
“No… I… I…”
Song Linlin did not know how to describe this feeling. They had only partially fused, and she already felt like her whole being was starting to go haywire, as if her body was being forcefully opened up and merged with another person.
“If you don’t come over, there will be no channel to relieve the power in your body, and in another half an hour, your Dantian will explode,” Chi Qianning said.
“What?!”
Song Linlin now felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she did not continue, she would explode in another half an hour. But if she did continue, she would likely be tormented to death by the sensation that could only be described as pleasure…
Even if she was stupid, she could tell that this dual cultivation felt utterly wrong! The fusion of the spirit with the other person brought sensations that were too overwhelming, even from just a little contact. And the feeling seemed to be mutual…
Wasn’t this essentially a roundabout way of sleeping with the other person?
Although it was only on the spiritual level, Song Linlin guessed this feeling was definitely more intense than the physical kind. This sensation was mutual.
Damn it, so this is what dual cultivation was!
Having understood this, Song Linlin was even more hesitant to move. “No, I’m still an innocent girl, I’m going to die… I’ve never done anything like this, who knew it would be like this…”
The feeling of having only partially fused but not continuing was very uncomfortable. Song Linlin was stimulated to the point of wanting to die. Chi Qianning was naturally not feeling well either. She panted slightly, “It will be more uncomfortable if you stop halfway, do you understand?”
“R-really?” Song Linlin was half-skeptical.
“Why would I lie to you?”
Chi Qianning gripped her arm and continued, “Don’t be afraid, come over.”
Song Linlin truly had no choice. Not continuing was too torturous, and if she kept delaying, she was afraid her Dantian would truly explode.
So, she could only grit her teeth and continue. The spirits, which had only slightly fused, began to delve deeper, and the fused parts grew larger. Song Linlin only felt that her body was completely no longer her own. Her mind felt like it was going to burst, filled with all sorts of converging sensations that brought her unspeakable feelings.
As the fusion deepened, her consciousness gradually entered a strange realm. Besides sensing her own body’s awareness, she could also feel Chi Qianning’s current sensations and her physical condition.
Song Linlin had to stop and rest every now and then, her mind a mess, muttering nonsense about how she was going to die. Chi Qianning could only pat her sweat-soaked back, encouraging her to continue.
To be honest, Chi Qianning was also dual cultivating with another person for the first time. Although she had a premonition that the sensation during dual cultivation would be intense, she had not expected it to be this intense.
She could at least force herself to endure it, but Song Linlin did not have her composure. Now, Song Linlin felt like she was going insane, incessantly speaking illogical words.
When the two spirits finally completed their fusion, Song Linlin was nearly exhausted. Her whole body was covered in sweat, and sweat had soaked many parts of her clothes. She opened her eyes to look at Chi Qianning. The other person’s neck also bore thin beads of sweat, but it was not as exaggerated as her own.
The feeling of complete spiritual fusion was very strange, as if both body and soul were completely open. Both parties could mutually feel the entirety of the other’s physical condition.
The continuous pleasure persisted in her mind, but after all this time, Song Linlin had managed to adapt a little. She had a little extra energy to observe her newly gained perspective and assess Chi Qianning’s situation.
However, with just one glance, Song Linlin was thoroughly shocked. Compared to her own small amount of mana, it was like a small pond encountering the ocean.
She stared at Chi Qianning with wide eyes, forcing herself to speak with little strength, “What… is your cultivation realm?”
“I don’t know.”
Chi Qianning looked at Song Linlin’s astonished expression, thought for a moment, and explained, “If you absolutely must use your human cultivation realms to categorize it, then I really don’t know what realm I am in.”
“I only remember that I had great power when I was first born. Then, every hundred years, I undergo a transformation, and my power advances a stage, but I also fall into a period of weakness for a time.”
Song Linlin had a guess and asked skeptically, “So, you are currently in a period of weakness?”
“Yes, you should start cultivating now.”
Chi Qianning did not want to dwell on these trivial matters. The excess power in Song Linlin’s body had yet to be expelled, and delaying any longer would truly lead to an explosion. She commanded, “Circulate your cultivation technique, allowing the power in your body to move through your meridians. Then, this power will flow into my body through the soul fusion and circulate once, and I will help you absorb the excess.”
“Okay.”
Song Linlin had not forgotten the purpose of dual cultivation, and her lower abdomen was getting hotter and hotter, making her panic and fear that her Dantian might explode at any moment.
She silently recited the cultivation technique in her mind, diligently mobilizing the power in her body. The power, which had been aimlessly circulating, was guided and moved along a specific route, and finally flowed into the other person’s body through the soul fusion.
Chi Qianning helped her consolidate this chaotic power. The quality of the mana that returned to Song Linlin’s body was much better than her original mana, and Song Linlin even felt that her power seemed to have improved somewhat. This was only the result of circulating it once.
Was it this amazing to have a powerful person lead the dual cultivation?!
If Song Linlin cultivated on her own, it would take an unknown amount of time to achieve even a small improvement, yet this had happened in such a short time.
The only downside was probably that she could not concentrate on cultivating. Her mind was stimulated by that sensation, and Song Linlin felt that the process of soul fusion alone was torturous enough. She now had very little energy left.
“Ha/ah…”
Song Linlin lay flat on the bed, panting heavily. The blanket had long been tossed aside. She was covered in sweat, sticky and damp, her mind was hazy, and her body was faintly trembling, with her muscles spasming occasionally.
She felt like she had never been this tired in her life. Even though she had separated her spirit from the other person’s, the pervasive tingling sensation throughout her body still had not disappeared.
Her body was completely exhausted, and her mind was a complete blur. Song Linlin did not want to move even a single finger, as if she had just gone through a high-intensity workout.
She used what little strength she had to turn her head and glanced at Chi Qianning. The other person was not as haggard as she was, but she looked equally exhausted.
After only a quick glance, Song Linlin turned her head away again. She was currently unable to look directly at the other person, always feeling that she had done nothing, and yet had done everything.
It was hard to describe.
In any case, she planned to feign death and sleep for a while.
However, just as she closed her eyes, the other person’s hand reached out. They were already lying close together, so it was easy for the other person to grasp Song Linlin’s collar.
Chi Qianning propped up her body, reached out and tugged at her, pulling Song Linlin back to her side. She panted, “Come here, continue.”
“No! No!”
Song Linlin opened her eyes and said weakly, “If we do it again, I really will die…”
Chi Qianning frowned, “Only half an hour has passed.”
Song Linlin wanted to die even more. Half an hour in ancient times converted to an hour now!
High-intensity dual cultivation for one hour. She truly could not take any more.
“Aren’t you tired? I really can’t do it. Let me sleep.”
Song Linlin slumped where she was, refusing to move. She looked at Chi Qianning. The other person did not seem particularly tired. To prevent herself from being dragged up for dual cultivation, Song Linlin decided to strike first. She reached out and wrapped her arms around the other person’s neck, forcefully pulling her into her embrace.
“Alright, you’re tired too. You should sleep,” Song Linlin said to herself.
“I’m not…”
Before Chi Qianning could finish, Song Linlin interrupted her again, “Don’t talk! I know you must be tired!”
Chi Qianning: …
“If you can’t sleep, I’ll lull you to sleep. Just sleep now.”
After saying that, Song Linlin did not wait for the other person’s answer. She started humming a tune on her own, her palm gently patting the other person’s back.
Chi Qianning was held in her arms. She looked up at Song Linlin, who had her eyes closed and was humming a strange tune. However, it was not long before the other person’s voice grew softer and softer, and the hand on her back stopped moving. She was clearly asleep.
“She lulled herself to sleep…”
Chi Qianning gently shook her head, easily slipped out of the other person’s embrace, and lay down beside Song Linlin.
Since the other person was asleep, she could not force Song Linlin to get up for dual cultivation again, so she could only sleep with her.
Song Linlin was woken up by the person next to her. She groggily opened her eyes. The sky outside the window was still dark.
“Hmm? What is it?”
She rubbed her eyes, couldn’t help but yawn, and immediately wanted to close her eyes and go back to sleep.
She had returned to the inn very late last night, and coupled with the dual cultivation with Chi Qianning, Song Linlin had been exhausted all night. The sky was still dark now, and she must have been woken up after only a short sleep.
“Get up. That person named Ye-something has already left. Didn’t you want to help her?” Chi Qianning was already sitting up, looking helplessly at Song Linlin, who was about to fall asleep again.
“Ye-something…”
Song Linlin vaguely heard this, and spent a few more seconds recalling who she knew had the surname Ye. Finally, she belatedly remembered the name Ye Tingran, and then she was jolted awake.
“Are you talking about Ye Tingran?” Song Linlin widened her eyes.
Chi Qianning saw her reaction and felt inexplicably unpleasant. She turned her head and just gave a soft “Mm.”
Song Linlin sat up with messy hair. There was no time to be lazy now. Ye Tingran should have left later, but sneaking out now definitely meant she did not want others to discover her and try to stop her.
Her eyes searched the bed, and then she turned to look at Chi Qianning, asking confusedly, “Where are my clothes?”
Last night, Chi Qianning had stripped one layer of her clothes. Song Linlin had been completely overcome by the heat at the time and had not paid attention to where the clothes were tossed.
“Foot of the bed.”
The other person simply spat out two words. Song Linlin did not sense anything amiss with her. She crawled to the foot of the bed to search and finally found her clothes under a pile of blankets.
She put on her outer garment, then staggered to put on her shoes. She found a comb and simply smoothed her messy hair, and then managed to tie a ponytail in front of the mirror.
“Looks like I really need to learn how to braid hair.”
Song Linlin sighed, then turned to look at Chi Qianning. “We’re always walking around with our hair down. Once I learn, we won’t look so dishevelled. I’ll style a beautiful hairstyle for you then!”
“Actually, you don’t need to style it. You’re already beautiful.”
As soon as Song Linlin woke up, she became very talkative. After a night’s sleep, the awkwardness of last night was clearly gone, and she chattered incessantly.
When she was ready to go out, she grabbed her sword, washed her face with cold water to sober up, and then walked back to the bed and said to Chi Qianning, “Let’s go. After this, we can return to the sect. Once we’re back at the sect, there won’t be so many troubles.”
