Chapter 197 I need your help
Cao Xiang woke up in the morning in a slight daze as a headache assaulted her. Memories of last night came to her a little later and she gasped and then held her head, taking a pillow and screaming into it. The room was filled with muffled screams while the Pirate Queen was squirming on the bed.
When she calmed down a little she looked down and found out that she was in her usual nightgown. She gasped again and turned completely red, but the maid that came into the room after hearing the sounds of her mistress waking up to open up the curtains and let the sunlight in, nonchalantly and playfully complained a little at how hard it was to change her when she was delivered here by Wu Long last night, soothing her worry at least a little.
But when she heard that she clung to and tried to kiss Wu Long multiple times she turned red as a tomato again and hid in the bed covers, squirming underneath.
---
In the afternoon, Wu Long came out to the upper deck and saw Cao Xiang who also noticed him and her cheeks turned rosy, as she slightly nodded to him and turned back to command her crew, trying hard not to look in his direction. Still, after some time of hesitation, she took a deep breath and giving out some orders, left her crew to her right-hand man and approached him.
"Thank you"
She said as she truly was grateful to him for not taking advantage of her moment of weakness, but she was still embarrassed, so her cheeks were red and her gaze wandered not looking at him directly.
"It should be me thanking you for the drink and the company, you even sent a few bottles of wine, which I am very thankful for"
Wu Long replied, inwardly chuckling at this charming appearance.
"No, really, I feel a lot better for some reason"
It was as if just talking about her past and pouring out her frustration cleared her mind a little and made her heart lighter. He simply smiled at her in response.
She still felt guilt and shame about her actions, as well as some embarrassment about the events of the previous night, but what surprised her was that there was no judgment in his gaze or mannerisms, she did not feel the air of superiority from him. This not only shocked her as someone who knew human nature, and the love of people to finding ways to feel superior at every opportunity, but also greatly comforted her.
They met throughout the day around the ship, as usual, but now there appeared an unknown feeling in her every time she looked at him.
In the meantime, Wu Long gave Luo Mingyu the Spiritual Wine he received from Cao Xiang, as it would be immensely beneficial to her at this critical juncture of forming her own path of comprehension to the Dao. She would sip a little of the wine and meditate, pondering and introspecting, processing the knowledge and experience she gained throughout this time that she had no time to properly digest before.
A few days passed in a peaceful journey through the Southern Sea as the ship was drawing closer to the Wood Spirit Continent at breakneck speed.
Hua Ziyan and Shen Min were busy with their training since there was a fortified training space in this ship they could use for that, which was further reinforced by Wu Long with temporary measures so that they do not accidentally sink or severely damage the ship.
Ye Ling's cultivation speed slowed down because of the limitations of the quality and quantity of the Spiritual Qi in the air, but since her achievements in the sword were already high as a Sword Cultivator she still moved at an astronomical speed, reaching the 9th level of Foundation Building Realm.
As Wu Long cultivated with them, his cultivation base also rose to the 9th level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and he was ready for a breakthrough to the Qi Manifestation Realm at last. This was one of the watershed realms, so he required a massive amount of energy for this attempt at a breakthrough.
Normally he could cultivate with any one of them, as all of them were higher than him in cultivation base, but the best partner to attempt his breakthrough with at this moment was Luo Mingyu, because of the nature of her Extreme Yin Qi. However, since he did not want to disturb her comprehension of the Dao, he was about to ask Ye Ling or Wei Lan because their cultivation bases were the highest when Luo Mingyu entered the room.
"Wu Long, I think I am close to my breakthrough, but I want to ask for your help"
She said, and he nodded, following her to her room. She sat him down on a sofa and went away to prepare, as he smiled, understanding what kind of help she wanted.
Her comprehension not only took inspiration from her experience but was also heavily influenced by Dual Cultivation as she was able to gain new understandings and greatly advance her achievements through their cultivation sessions. She of course gained a lot even if there were other partners present, but the most effective sessions were where they were alone as it gave her the connection required for advancing her comprehension.
So it was no wonder that at a vital moment, she came to him for help, and it just so happened that he needed her help as well.
But even as he expected it, when she appeared before him again his eyes widened and then flickered with anticipation and fiery luster.
Her petite but curvaceous figure was wrapped in a black translucent gown, that had a lacy collar wrapped around her delicate neck and an intricate design on the upper chest, but not covering her beautiful breasts or body below that at all as it connected with detached semi-transparent sleeves and freely fell behind her back and on her sides. She had a lacy black thigh band on one thigh, and a semi-transparent dark stocking with a similarly designed upper part as the thigh band wrapped around her other leg.
Her eyes flickered with joy when she saw his gaze that was speaking volumes about her appearance, and she started slowly approaching him.
As she walked up to him step after step, her hips seductively swaying from side to side heat spread through his loins, pumping his blood around as he saw the desire in her eyes fire up with purple flames as well.
