Looking at the data panel, Zhou Sui sighed. Although his cultivation speed surpassed ordinary cultivators by a multifold, he was still not satisfied.
The memories of the Lu family's cultivators suggested that a major change was looming in Misty Cloud City.
The death of the Lu family's ancestors would undoubtedly bring turmoil to Misty Cloud City.
Even though the Immortal Mist Sect controlled the city, they could not prevent it from happening.
Thus, he had to quickly enhance his cultivation to prepare for the upcoming changes.
As a Qi Cultivation fifth-layer practitioner, his power was still too weak.
"If I want to enhance my cultivation rapidly, there are only two methods. One is to gain a high-grade pill, the other is to enhance my Spiritual Root."
"Unfortunately, neither of these methods can be achieved in a short time."
"However, to evade disasters, it might not be necessary to enhance cultivation."
Zhou Sui stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Truth be told, he wasn't one of the Lu family's cultivators. Even if something did happen to the Lu family, it wouldn't involve him.
For every wrong there is a remedy, for every debt its debtor.
What he needed to guard against actually were the potential assassinations by other cultivators during the chaos.
"As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows. Maybe I could dig tunnels as a refuge."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
If a huge crisis broke out in Misty Cloud City and turmoil amongst cultivators ensued, having a tunnel at home would make leaving Misty Cloud City, a place of conflicts, easy.
Even if he did not leave Misty Cloud City, hiding deep underground would make it impossible for his enemies to find him.
By that time, he could store food supply for a year or so and only come out once peace is restored.
Zhou Sui evaluated the feasibility of this plan carefully.
However, digging tunnels is not that simple. If he relied solely on his own hands, he didn't know when he would finish digging.
Perhaps, it might be a good idea to nurture a Gu Insect, adept at digging, to help him with the laborious task.
"My dear, what are you thinking about?"
At that moment, in the room, Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyi inquired curiously as they watched Zhou Sui.
They noticed that their man seemed constantly lost in thoughts, puzzling over something.
Nevertheless, they thought his thoughtful and silent demeanor made him look incredibly attractive.
"I am contemplating how to enhance my cultivation rapidly. Perhaps, we need to increase the sessions of Dual Cultivation."
Well, they were already a married couple, he didn't mind being blunt.
If it were not for Dual Cultivation, his cultivation would not be improving at this pace. The cultivation speed of an Eight-Stage Spiritual Root was slow to the point of despair.
Luckily, in a while, he would be able to advance to the Seventh-grade Spiritual Root.
By then, he believed his cultivation speed would accelerate a bit.
"Increase the frequency? My dear, can you handle it?"
Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyi giggled, challenging Zhou Sui with their gazes.
"Nonsense, what kind of man would admit he can't do it?"
Zhou Sui was agitated and leaped onto them.
Those women, if not disciplined for a few days, would act like the rooftop is leaking.
If they're not taught a lesson, they'll truly start to think he's incapable.
After a night, early next morning.
Zhou Sui refreshed, walked out of the room, leaving just the two women soundly asleep.
Apparently, he was overwhelmingly victorious in the battle and was satisfied with the outcome.
The reason for such a fruitful victory was not only due to his cultivation enhancement, but also the power of Obsession Gu.
Once the power of Obsession Gu was activated, both partners engaged in Dual Cultivation and the fusion of Yin and Yang energies made his vitality endless.
Getting stronger in battles, while his partners were gradually getting weaker, it was naturally not a challenge for him.
At the same time, his cultivation was also escalating.
Zhou Sui stepped into the courtyard, looked at the bright sun outside, stretched lazily, feeling utterly relaxed.
Inwardly, he couldn't help but wish that the peace in Misty Cloud City could always be maintained. He wouldn't feel so anxious and would be focusing on cultivating to enhance his cultivation.
Alas, the world couldn't be manipulated by his will.
Suddenly, a scream came from Xia Jingyan's room.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Zhou Sui was shocked. He dashed towards Xia Jingyan's room, opened the door and found...
The moment he opened the door, a surge of red mist gushed out from the room. Zhou Sui, caught off guard, inhaled a breath and immediately felt dizzy.
In front of his eyes was the stunning beauty, Xia Jingyan. Her watery eyes were staring at him and she was wearing a smirk on her face.
"What...what did you do to me?"
Zhou Sui was somewhat dazed. He could sense that the red mist wasn't toxic and he didn't detect any malicious intent from Xia Jingyan, yet he didn't know why she would scheme against him.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law. This is not poison, but the well-known Red Mist Scatter, which has a special effect on men and women." Xia Jingyan looked at Zhou Sui with a smug smile.
"You...dropped that kind of drug on me? What are you up to?"
Zhou Sui was instantly dumbfounded. He had only heard of men drugging women, never of a woman doing it to a man, and that too someone as gentle and beautiful as Xia Jingyan.
"Brother-in-law, it's not my fault, it's all yours for being so charming."
"Initially, I knew that what I am doing is wrong since you are my sister's man, which I, as a younger sister shouldn't covet."
"But, I was tormented day and night. It even affected my cultivation almost leading me astray."
"So, today, I must have you."
Xia Jingyan took hold of Zhou Sui's smooth chin and gently lifted it, revealing a queen-like demeanor.
Hearing this, Zhou Sui was somewhat panic-stricken. He was a man who hustled hard, not one to be eaten alive by women.
Immediately, he tried to escape.
But before he could even take a step, he felt powerless and collapsed onto the ground, hardly being able to move a muscle.
"Brother-in-law, don't think of escaping. This is the drug I purchased at a hefty price which takes effect instantly."
"And don't think about shouting, I've set a soundproof boundary here. Even if you shout your lungs out, no one can come to your rescue."
"Today, whether you want to or not, you are mine."
Xia Jingyan seemed increasingly excited.
Damn, this woman has gone crazy.
Seeing her , Zhou Sui knew what this was - it was clearly the side-effect of the Obsession Gu. The more someone suppresses their love, the crazier and more distorted they become.
Normally, a woman can't bear the suppression for more than a few days.
But Xia Jingyan suppressed herself for over a year, which was already beyond imagination.
This also led to her losing control.
In an instant, Zhou Sui felt like he had lost his consciousness, not knowing what had happened.
