With the mention of "Shifei" and a tender response, the relationship between the young man and the beautiful woman in the cabin seemed to subtly change.
However, unlike ordinary men and women, or wild creatures, they did not draw close after becoming emotionally moved, nor did they use any kind of plant as a verb to enjoy the comfort brought on by "life’s encouragement to reproduce"...
The comfort of an Earth Level existence did not lie in this, but in being "complete".
Turning into mountains and rivers, yet those mountains and rivers remained isolated parts of the vast world, thus... the pursuit of one’s own completeness became the ultimate need of an Earth Level existence.
However, this "completeness" could not be achieved by one’s personal efforts, just as a man could not complete the task of procreating by turning himself into a "Devil Muscle Man".
No matter how strong you are, you are only the strength of mountains and rivers, not completeness.
Completeness, requires Dual Cultivation.
There is a reason for the Yin and Yang of the world.
Heaven is Yang and earth is Yin, day is Yang and night is Yin, males are Yang and females are Yin...
The fusion of Yin and Yang seems to harbor a profound and mysterious Great Dao.
Therefore, from the smallest insects to the Earth Level beings at this moment, all require this fusion to accord with an ineffable, unnamed Great Dao.
And because Earth Level existences are rare, upon seeing a suitable counterpart, regardless of gender, both would be moved by that "instinctive pursuit of completeness".
Dao Lingkun already had a Taoist Companion, and since he was born a Zhan, it was impossible for Jing Shifei and him to be together.
And in the entire Mysterious Clear Palace, there were only two individuals with a realm like hers.
As for other palaces, either the age difference was too great, or there was a similar issue to that with Dao Lingkun.
Thus, even over thousands of years, Jing Shifei did not seek a Dual Cultivation partner.
In the world of the ordinary, the "fate" that brings men and women together is visual appeal, compatibility of personalities, the fate of choosing you from the vast sea of people...
Yet for Earth Level beings, due to their rarity, it had turned into the mere "fate of encounter".
Yes.
Our meeting, our suitability for each other is already unique...
Especially in an era when it’s extremely difficult for a Master of Mountains and Rivers to emerge, it’s even more so the case.
In other words, if another young man or True Spirit Realm youth who had transformed from a Seal appeared before Jing Shifei, then... she too might desire to become his Taoist Companion.
Song Cheng, likewise.
It was the attraction of Yin and Yang, a longing for one’s own completeness.
At that moment, facing each other, the eighteen years of repressed emotions could no longer be hidden.
"Song... Song Cheng, have you practiced the Dual Cultivation Technique?" Jing Shifei asked.
Song Cheng said, "I’ve practiced it a bit."
Jing Shifei said, "My True Self is called Bu Zhou, which is a Heavenly God peak hidden in the land of eternal ice and snow. Perhaps it can just perfectly merge with your Blue Sea, never to be separated."
As she spoke, her breath quickened, her body unwittingly softened, and her expression was full of expectation...
It seemed that merely mentioning "Dual Cultivation of the two to become one" had already made her unable to restrain her emotions, eager to proceed.
Song Cheng looked at the emotionally stirred beautiful woman in front of him and thought for a moment before saying, "I can’t leave this place for the time being.
The situation outside is actually very unclear. The moment I step out, I will immediately become a target of public criticism.
My power has grown too quickly, and when that happens, there will be those who covet it, those who are curious, and Shi Feng’s faction will also get the opportunity to act."
Jing Shifei also immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Yes, they will definitely seize this opportunity.
The path of the Mourning Spirit is still being explored, but the ageing among the Masters of Mountains and Rivers has already come, and a being capable of rapidly advancing their realm would undoubtedly become desirable in everyone’s eyes. They all won’t be able to help but want to discover your secret, even imprison you, detain you."
Song Cheng said, "Aren’t you curious?"
Jing Shifei said, "I am curious, yet I am not. Curious because your rate of improvement is indeed very fast, not curious because I know... this power can only belong to you and can’t be turned into anyone else’s. And as your Taoist Companion... since we are Taoist Companions, from now on, our bodies will be forever united, forming one realm, sharing both loss and honor, how could I harm you?"
Song Cheng looked at the short-haired beauty.
For the first time, he noticed that the eyes of the classically beautiful woman, once called "auntie" by him, were very large—bewitching and as if they contained all facets of the human world. They were the eyes of a Goddess, and her graceful figure was like a masterful stroke from an expert painter, a priceless Ink painting brushed delicately on fine paper—dreamy, ethereal, otherworldly, compelling an uncontrollable heartbeat.
He needed Jing Shifei.
Both for the fusion of Yin and Yang, and for the present alliance.
The two looked at each other, and an amorous ambience expanded around them.
Jing Shifei suddenly suggested, "Shall we try the ordinary people’s version of Dual Cultivation first? Although... it’s not real Dual Cultivation, it is a kind of... ritual..."
Song Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, auntie."
Jing Shifei was startled, then seemed to understand something, and coyly said, "Okay, Song."
It seemed both individuals at that moment needed some sort of ritual.
Therefore, Song Cheng watched as the Ink-painted classical beauty slowly approached, lifted the hem of her dark skirt, and began to move, slowly, bit by bit.
After a long time... Jing Shifei left the small dwelling, and her affection level remained at "99".
But in truth, her relationship with Song Cheng had grown increasingly close; if there had been a decimal point after that "99", her affection for Song Cheng would surely be "99.99" or even more.
That remaining final step actually lay in Dual Cultivation.
After this ceremony, Jing Shifei had made up her mind.
