Chapter 37: Wishing to Lick It Clean!
Soft words fell, leaving the seven female attendants stunned—and even Ning Chen was speechless. His lips twitched uncontrollably.
This woman’s behavior was truly unpredictable! How could she even come up with something ?
Seeing that the attendants remained unmoving, Xu Qingyao spread her legs slightly, her face still flushed with lingering pleasure. Her smile was intoxicating.
“Ladies, this is the opportunity. What’s wrong? Don’t you want to give it a try?”
“Don’t blame me for not warning you. Miss it now, and you might not get another chance.”
She was being kind enough to let them sample the goods in advance.
The humiliating offer was akin to trampling their dignity into the ground.
As Golden Core cultivators, the seven female attendants ought to feel angered.
And indeed, their faces flushed red, fists clenched in fury.
Whether out of fear of Xu Qingyao’s cultivation or because their bodies had already succumbed to the subtle effects of the situation, none of the seven chose to leave.
Could it be that the “opportunity” the Sect Master spoke of truly was dual cultivation?
But how could such a method work with just a taste? Wasn’t it supposed to take time and practice to yield results?
The seven hesitated, torn between their pride and the strange allure.
Before any of them could decide, Xu Qingyao, noticing the heavenly essence about to drip onto the floor, issued her final warning:
Before she could finish counting, Tao Nu gritted her teeth and stepped forward decisively.
Taking a deep breath, she knelt before the source, her face resolute.
Closing her eyes and resigning herself to fate, she accepted the luminous essence as it dripped.
“Mmm~” Xu Qingyao instinctively tilted her head back with a satisfied sigh.
Meanwhile, Tao Nu’s eyes flew open in astonishment.
The taste was… indescribable. Neither entirely pleasant nor unpleasant, but undeniably unique.
More than that, the moment it entered her mouth, she felt her very soul grow clearer, as if the essence had a purifying effect.
Could it really have such miraculous properties?
Xu Qingyao’s lips curved into a regretful smile as she resealed the source, cutting off the flow. She then gave a gentle reminder:
“Try circulating your cultivation technique to refine it.”
Tao Nu, her mouth still full of the essence, nodded awkwardly and obeyed.
To her utter shock, the liquid transformed into pure energy almost instantly, surging through her body.
In mere moments, old injuries—long impervious to healing pills—vanished. Her spiritual energy stirred, beginning to break through a bottleneck she’d been stuck at for years.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
The other six attendants, puzzled by Tao Nu’s prolonged silence after exiting her meditative state, couldn’t help but ask, “How was it?”
Tao Nu pressed her lips together, her eyes alight with excitement. “It’s a true opportunity! Comparable to the finest elixirs!”
Just a few drops of this mystical liquid had such profound effects.
Her declaration left the remaining six skeptical.
They knew dual cultivation could boost one’s cultivation, but this sounded too good to be true.
Still, curiosity and the lingering scent in the air began to erode their reservations.
As they hesitated, Tao Nu—ignoring their doubts—turned to Xu Qingyao with an almost fervent expression.
“Elder! Can I have another sip?”
Xu Qingyao coldly refused. “No.”
This was the newly refreshed essence, at its peak potency. Sharing even a few drops was already generous.
Moreover, there were others waiting in line.
Ignoring Tao Nu’s disappointment, Xu Qingyao shifted her gaze to the remaining attendants.
With Tao Nu having taken the lead and given her enthusiastic endorsement, the six women couldn’t resist much longer.
One by one, they lined up to sample the essence, their hesitance melting away with each step.
Each woman who tasted it reacted with equally dramatic amazement.
When all seven had finished, they stared at the treasure bottle in Xu Qingyao’s hands with undisguised hunger, as if wishing to lick it clean.
“What? You still want more?”
Xu Qingyao arched a brow, her gaze teasingly flirtatious.
The seven nodded furiously, their eyes filled with longing.
“Well, then,” she said with a sly smile, rising gracefully to her feet. She tapped the base of Ning Chen’s Soul Devouring Spear, revealing the true source of their coveted opportunity.
“If you want more, you’ll have to earn it yourselves.”
She then slipped behind him, her lithe fingers beginning a gentle massage as she took on the role of supervisor.
This was her senior sister’s directive: rewards had to be given with discernment.
These attendants were mere subordinates, unworthy of the youth’s true essence. This small taste was meant as motivation, a special reward for their service to the sect.
The seven women exchanged glances before Tao Nu once again stepped forward eagerly.
Flushed with excitement, she threw herself into Ning Chen’s arms, her heart racing as she inhaled his intoxicating aura.
Recalling the earlier “demonstration,” she clumsily began to mimic what she had seen.
All the while, Xu Qingyao’s voice offered playful guidance:
“Loosen your waist! Stop being so stiff!”
“Where are you aiming? Focus!”
“Move already! Do you think the essence will just flow out on its own?”
The room filled with an increasingly charged atmosphere as the process continued.
