In the early summer morning, the sunlight had just the right brightness and temperature, not yet scorching. Combined with the refreshing breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, it could be considered one of life's great pleasures.
When the first ray of morning sunlight illuminated Qin Ran's bedroom door, it was pushed open from inside. Out came a beautiful woman with loose hair and a languid demeanor.
She wore a man's white inner robe, which completely failed to conceal her graceful figure. The bottom barely covered her jade-like calves, while the top wouldn't close properly, offering teasing glimpses of her snow-white décolletage.
The sunlight fell upon her, highlighting her curved bottom through the white silk fabric, creating an ethereal effect. She was the embodiment of temptation.
She squinted her eyes, lazily looking up at the sun, only to be dazzled by it. Her delicate jade-like hand rose to shield her eyes.
The bright light cast shadows on her face, making her skin appear even whiter and more three-dimensional.
The mountain breeze gently blew, making her clothes flutter and revealing more of her skin; her hair danced in the wind, brushing against her face, adding to her allure.
She pulled her clothes tighter and looked around, spotting a broom and trash bin outside the room to her left. She walked toward the broom on her tender white feet, each toe as perfect as crystal.
Due to weakness in her legs, her walk required more movement from her waist and hips, causing her body and clothes to sway in attractive waves.
As she moved left, the door opened wider, revealing the scene inside the room.
From the doorway, the entire room was covered with perfectly square, cleanly cut pieces of fabric. Upon closer inspection, one could see men's blue and white clothing materials, women's pink and white fabrics, lace, trim, and patterned materials - all clothes had been shredded into tiny pieces by sword energy.
Among these fabric pieces were various stains: sweat, blood, and other bodily fluids that hadn't yet dried in the morning sun. Mixed in with the fabric and stains were wooden splinters.
These splinters were nothing but the remains of the collapsed bed.
In the middle of the bedroom, among the ruins, broken wood, sheets, and blankets, lay a naked man reading a bamboo scroll.
When the woman opened the door, letting in brilliant sunlight, he casually grabbed a sheet to cover his vital areas, preventing any awkward encounters with unexpected visitors.
As expected of a Golden Core cultivator! Even after a night of passionate battle, he still emanated an air of refreshing vitality, as if bathed in spring breeze.
Although...
His lips were cracked and he had dark circles under his eyes. The woman brought the broom into the room and began sweeping up the fabric pieces and wood splinters while asking, "Master, where did you get that dual cultivation technique from? Something seems off about it. Look at you - you're exhausted, and I have no strength left either."
"I'm still reviewing it..." Qin Ran replied casually, "I bought it before but hadn't studied it, so I didn't know if there were any issues. I only used it impromptu last night. Let me study it some more before saying anything."
"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded, "Master, please study it carefully. I've heard that dual cultivation techniques are supposed to advance both partners' cultivation. Yours must have some problems."
Hearing this, Qin Ran looked up from his scroll at Li Shiyin sweeping the floor.
This girl, newly married, possessed a unique blend of womanly maturity and youthful freshness, making her doubly alluring as both maiden and woman. She was at one of the most captivating moments in a woman's life.
Her hair swayed naturally as she bent to sweep, much of it crimped and tangled from their night's activities, some strands clumped together with bodily fluids. Though disheveled, this unkempt state only enhanced her beauty... or rather, her sexual appeal.
Her beautiful face showed fatigue, but it was intermingled with such allure that to Qin Ran, she was like a walking aphrodisiac. From now on, her beautiful face would never be simply beautiful - it had become irresistibly tempting.
She constantly made his heart flutter.
She wore his clothes, which hung loose and barely served their purpose of covering her body. As she swept, they moved even more, failing to conceal her beautiful figure.
Thus creating a tantalizing game of peek-a-boo.
To him, every inch of her body and every movement was seductive.
A wife is most alluring perhaps when, after a night of passion, she wears your shirt while cooking breakfast at the stove. You stand at the kitchen door, watching her partially revealed body and seductive silhouette.
At such times, you don't want breakfast - you want her.
"Why are you sweeping?" Qin Ran said, "Once our spiritual power recovers, it's just a matter of one spell."
"But we made such a mess..." Li Shiyin's face wasn't as thick-skinned as Qin Ran's. Maiden shyness made her blush, and she lowered her head, letting her hair hide her reddened face as she said softly, "We made so much noise last night, they must all know. If they see our room in this state, won't they laugh themselves to death?"
Qin Ran sat up, grabbed her hand, and with a gentle tug, pulled her into his embrace.
He lay back down with her in his arms, inhaling her scent and sighing, "So fragrant!" He smiled and asked, "Why weren't you thinking about today when you were being so bold last night?"
"It's all your fault!" Li Shiyin made tiny fists and lightly punched Qin Ran's shoulders, "Bad master, evil master, you big villain! You're the most cunning and devious of all!"
Qin Ran sniffed her hair playfully and replied with a laugh: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm the one who forcefully carried you to bed, then used sword energy to tear your clothes, and then... Ouch! Are you a dog?"
Li Shiyin had lowered her head and bitten his chest.
She said softly, "This was your responsibility to begin with."
Qin Ran gently stroked Li Shiyin's back and sighed.
After a while, he mused: "Men and women are like the yin and yang of the Tai Chi, each occupying half of heaven and earth."
Li Shiyin tilted her head, lying in Qin Ran's arms while watching his face, waiting to see what peculiar logic he would present next.
"If each is half, then naturally they are equal. Therefore, men and women are equal. There's no rule saying only men must initiate intimacy with women, right?" Qin Ran said seriously, "Men can initiate, and women can initiate. Every couple's situation is different and should be analyzed individually. Between us, it just happens that you need to take the initiative. This is the law of the great Dao!"
"Pah! Twisted logic!" Li Shiyin spat, "It's always been men who initiate. If it weren't specifically me, you'd definitely grow old alone on Dan Peak."
"Does tradition make it right?" Qin Ran replied smugly, then smiled, "And who says I just happened to meet you?"
"Awoooo~~~"
Suddenly, a strange wolf howl came from outside. It followed a wolf's howling pattern but had a tiger's voice.
One listen and anyone would know it was Chasing the Wind up to his tricks.
"Little Li An, time to get up!" Chasing the Wind called out, "The sun's high enough to shine on your bottom!"
Soon after, the door next door opened, and Yu Chi Zhen's voice came through: "Stop making noise, Ping'an just fell asleep."
"Oh!" Chasing the Wind responded.
Looking from the grass outside, on the second-floor corridor of the wooden house were two adjacent rooms. Before Yu Chi Zhen opened her door, one room was open and one closed - the open one being Qin Ran's and the closed one being Li Shiyin's. So it was clear who Chasing the Wind was calling to.
Li Shiyin realized this without Qin Ran having to point it out.
"This guy dares to laugh at me!" She angrily struggled out of Qin Ran's embrace, her embarrassment turning to fury as she declared, "Master, I'm going to skin you a tiger coat!"
"Awoooo~~~"
Another arrogant howl came from outside, along with words like "I dare to defy the heavens" and such.
