The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 513: No Wonder You Wanted to Possess Me, It Was for Dual Cultivation

Chapter 513: No Wonder You Wanted to Possess Me, It Was for Dual Cultivation

One sentence made the Evil Bees pause. Their tails wiggled, signaling the others to stop bickering and hurry up to lead the way.

The three Daoists, Ming Pei, Ming Chong, and Ming Qin, pushed each other, with none willing to step forward. Zhi Mi sighed and said, "Why don’t you draw lots?"

The three Daoists exchanged glances. It seemed fair enough. They pulled out some blank talisman papers, marking just one of them. Whoever drew the unlucky paper would lead the way.

In the end, Ming Pei drew the marked paper. His body stiffened as he swallowed hard. "Actually, I’m seriously injured..."

The Evil Bees weren’t having any of it. If they stung him to death, there were still the other two!

Ming Pei quickly waved his hands in surrender. "Not that bad! Not bad at all! I’ll lead you right away!"

What kind of bees are these? They had no empathy.

Reluctantly, Ming Pei started leading the way, but his internal injuries made every step painful. However, he dared not make any wrong moves, as the Evil Bees followed him closely. Any suspicious action could result in a fatal sting.

There were too many people on the streets, so Ming Pei leaped onto the rooftops, hoping to avoid causing panic among the civilians. Each step he took caused him pain, nearly making him cough up blood.

Finally, Prince Yu’s Mansion was in sight! Ming Pei was filled with excitement and landed quickly, braving the wind and snow.

The mansion was well-guarded by elite soldiers, and Xuanyuan Che hadn’t been able to place an Enchanting Bug within its walls. Even the Spring Sun Tea remained untouched. Though they heard some commotion outside, without orders from the prince or Qingyang, the guards held their positions.

The King of Enchanting Bugs had died, leaving the imperial guards unconscious, making it difficult to approach the Prince’s Mansion from the outside. Ming Pei had to inch his way through the narrow gaps between the guards.

Recognizing him, a guard exclaimed, "Daoist Ming Pei? Have you brought news of the prince?!"

The prince had not returned all night, and the guards had no idea what had happened. Ming Pei, now pale and barely standing, leaned on a column for support. "Hasn’t the prince returned to the mansion?"

The guard shook his head. "We haven’t seen him."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Bees surrounded Ming Pei once more, urging him to go elsewhere and keep searching. But Ming Pei sat down, exhausted. "I can’t go on. I’m seriously injured and have no idea where the prince and princess have gone."

It was impossible to search aimlessly.

The Evil Bees buzzed angrily, the sound sharp and grating. The guards became increasingly alarmed and stepped back.

Seeing this, Ming Pei said, "This is the princess’s residence, filled with many treasures. She’ll definitely return. Why not wait here?"

The guards’ faces darkened. "Ming Pei, you wretched Daoist! These are poisonous bees, and you’re letting them into the prince’s mansion!"

Ming Pei spread his hands. "It’s not my choice. They’re here for the princess."

The guards grew more serious, their hands gripping their sword hilts. As difficult as it was, they were prepared to kill the bees to protect the princess.

Swords and sabers glinted in the snow, humming with tension.

Ming Pei, seeing this, hurriedly added, "No, no! You misunderstand. They seem to be the princess’s... pets. Yes, pets. They’re just looking for their owner."

"?" The guards were utterly confused.

Poisonous bees as pets? The princess had such peculiar tastes?

But the Evil Bees, having given up on Ming Pei, sensed their master’s presence and flew into the mansion.

At this moment, inside the Liuli Pavilion:

Ye Siheng, at first, had difficulty adjusting to the teleportation technique. His first attempt only moved him out of the Wu household, but after a couple more tries, he mastered it. In two or three jumps, they were back at the mansion without using the front gate.

Rainbow and Chunbao were tidying up inside when they suddenly heard footsteps. Looking up, they were shocked to see Nanli, covered in blood and unconscious, leaning against Ye Siheng.

"Princess! What happened to her?!" they cried, terrified.

Ye Siheng didn’t want to explain, his voice cold. "Leave us."

"Don’t you need the medicine box?" Rainbow asked, seeing Nanli’s deathly pale face and guessing she was gravely injured. "And hot water?"

"No need. Just go," Ye Siheng’s voice grew icier.

Chunbao tugged at Rainbow’s sleeve, indicating they should leave quickly. If the prince wanted them out, he must have his reasons. Strangely, Chunbao felt that the prince seemed a little different from before. It was hard to put into words.

The two quietly left, closing the door behind them.

Ye Siheng gently laid Nanli on the bed. Though unconscious, her face twisted in pain from the destruction of her Dantian. He wished he could bear the pain for her.

Strangely enough, a hand gesture suddenly flashed through his mind, one that seemed to ease pain. Ye Siheng had no idea what happened with Yao Sheng, how he survived the ordeal, or why he now had a Golden Core and knowledge of various techniques. But he didn’t think too much of it and began making the gesture from memory.

A small talisman array appeared, floating above Nanli’s body. Its light shone down, soothing her pain. Soon, her furrowed brows relaxed.

Afterward, Ye Siheng went to his study and pulled out an ancient text. He had retrieved this from Yao Sheng’s underground chamber. fгeewebnovёl.com

He had skimmed a few pages before, his face flushing, and quickly closed the book.

At that time, A’Li had noticed his reaction and asked, "What are you reading to make your face turn red?"

He coughed lightly, regaining his composure, and casually placed the book aside. "It’s forbidden techniques. You shouldn’t read it, or it might affect your cultivation."

A’Li, trusting him, nodded and went about her other tasks, never once touching the book.

Ye Siheng thought at the time, Yao Sheng, no wonder you wanted to possess someone else’s body--turns out, it was for dual cultivation!

There are many types of dual cultivation. Some involve balancing yin and yang, benefiting both partners. Others involve extracting yin to nourish yang, using women as a furnace for cultivation. The last method allows a woman to absorb a man’s yang energy to strengthen her own yin.

Ye Siheng quickly skimmed through the text, understanding its essence. To avoid interruptions, he took some talismans from Nanli’s pouch and set up an array around the inner chamber.

Lowering the curtain, the room dimmed.

Ye Siheng leaned in close to Nanli. Her soft breathing brushed against his neck, sending a tingle down his spine.
