"If you asked Qingzhu, she definitely wouldn't want to. Actually, she's even more shy than I am about this kind of thing. She didn't intend to give away her virginity so quickly, after all, you were with Lin Hong for years without losing your virginity, right? You must have had some reservations, right?"
"Indeed, I was a little scared at the time," Qing Tan nodded affirmatively. She did have some reservations, since it was in front of the person she liked that she was being played with by another man, which is why she hadn't lost her virginity yet.
"And that's why Qingzhu decided to give away her virginity. She felt that if you had these reservations after all these years, then the other women would inevitably feel the same way. Qingzhu and I agreed to this together, so we both felt a certain responsibility. Besides, we were his first two wives, and we should set an example. My arrival was still a long way off, so Qingzhu decided to give her body to another man at that time, to set an example, to be the first, so that you would have fewer reservations later," Ying Huanhuan said.
"I didn't expect Qingzhu to have thought so much back then." Hearing Ying Huanhuan's words, Qing Tan paused slightly, then smiled bitterly. She hadn't realized her actions had caused Qingzhu so much trouble. She had indeed struggled for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have dragged it out so long. Although she actually made her decision earlier than Ling Qingzhu—she had already asked Lin Dong to bring the materials before going to the ancient tomb—her actions came a few days later than Ling Qingzhu's.
"So I don't want to trouble Qingzhu with this now. Since she set an example, and I've spent a lot of time with Lin Dong since then, I have to think about the future. To avoid putting too much psychological burden on you like before, I took the lead and had relations with another man while Lin Dong wasn't around before coming to find you. Among you, Jiang Xue and Su Rou have experienced less, and my situation is most similar to yours, so I came to find you first, and then I'll go find them," Ying Huanhuan continued.
Qing Tan blinked and thought for a moment. Indeed, their situations were quite similar. Both had been with other men for a period of time before losing their virginity. She had been with Lin Hong intermittently for several years, while Ying Huanhuan had been with Qing Ye continuously for over ten days. Although she hadn't been penetrated by the same man multiple times, she had been deflowered by Yue Shan, and then by Lin Feng, Lin Hong, and Lin Langtian. Even though Lin Feng only penetrated for a few seconds, it still counted as penetration. In total, she had been penetrated four times by other men. Ying Huanhuan had been deflowered a few days ago and had been penetrated daily, meaning she had also been penetrated four times in four days.
"So, are you going to do it or not?" Ying Huanhuan continued, posing her question.
Qing Tan pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Do it!"
Although Ying Huanhuan's plan was a bit strange, its purpose was still very good, so Qing Tan hoped it would work that way too. Anyway, she'd still be played by other men when she was with Lin Dong, so doing it secretly now would be exciting, give Lin Dong a little surprise later, and also help Ying Huanhuan's plan—wasn't that great?
Therefore, Qing Tan decided to do what Ying Huanhuan had suggested.
"But you're not asking me to find men myself, are you?" Qing Tan asked, blushing. Although she had agreed to do it, the thought of finding men behind Lin Dong's back still made her a little hesitant.
"No, this clone of mine will be with you these next few days, and it has control over the formation, so it's almost like Lin Dong is by your side. So, men will definitely come looking for you," Ying Huanhuan said with a smile, looking at Qing Tan. Qing Tan had been teasing her the whole time, and she hadn't expected Qing Tan to be shy. Of course, she wouldn't miss this opportunity to retaliate, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "Just enjoy it then, I'll record everything for you."
"Eh? No, Huanhuan!" Qing Tan blushed when she saw Ying Huanhuan about to record things, and quickly pounced on her.
Ying Huanhuan dodged Qing Tan's pounce and giggled sweetly.
"I want it!"
The two girls played around in the room for a while before stopping. At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Qing Tan went to the door and opened it.
"Young Master, the Palace Master requests your presence," a middle-aged man stood in the doorway and respectfully greeted Qing Tan.
"Okay, I'll be right there. You can leave now." Qing Tan paused slightly after hearing this, then nodded and let the person leave.
"What's wrong?" Ying Huanhuan asked when Qing Tan returned.
"Master wants to see him," Qing Tan said to Ying Huanhuan. Although it was just a few simple words, it wasn't simple for Qing Tan. Her expression became somewhat strange: "Master doesn't seem to have called me around this time before."
"So soon? He came so soon after saying that?"
Hearing Qing Tan's words, Ying Huanhuan understood something. Usually, she was the one who encountered such things, so she was quite interested in Qing Tan's situation. She immediately asked, "Can I go with you?"
This time it was Qing Tan's turn to ask Ying Huanhuan, but she didn't object to Ying Huanhuan going with her. After all, even if it wasn't what they thought, what was happening now was actually something from a long time ago, and Ying Huanhuan could see it anyway.
After Ying Huanhuan disappeared, the two left the bamboo forest and arrived at the main hall of the Dark Temple. They passed through the main hall but didn't linger, as it was only a meeting place. After passing through several rooms, they entered one.
Upon entering, they saw an old man sitting inside.
This old man was none other than Bo Xuan, the current Lord of the Dark Temple. He was still dressed in a black robe, his thin face and kind smile making him appear harmless. If it weren't for the powerful energy they could sense within him, they would have mistaken him for an ordinary old man.
"You've arrived?" the old man asked, looking up as Qing Tan entered.
"Master, why did you call me here?" Qing Tan asked directly.
"You've already gotten this far, aren't you going to chat with me for a bit?"
The old man smiled, though there was no displeasure in his tone. He then said directly, "I came to talk to you about your Demonic Physique. It's time to start cultivating it."
"Oh," Qing Tan nodded. She had cultivated it before, but it didn't seem to be the right time.
"The Demonic Physique needs to be cultivated; after all, it's your foundation." Seeing Qing Tan nod, Bo Xuan smiled. He was very satisfied with this disciple; her talent and physique were both top-notch. However, his eyes quickly became somewhat strange. He paused, coughed slightly, and then continued, "Ahem, the Demonic Physique definitely needs to be cultivated, but the method is a bit... um, strange."
Hearing this, Qing Tan immediately knew that this was exactly what she and Ying Huanhuan had been thinking. The two exchanged a glance, and then she asked, "You said..."
"Ahem," the old man hesitated, unsure what to say next. After a slight pause, he continued, "The Yin Sha physique is a rare physique, and your Sha Mo physique is one of the pinnacles of Yin Sha physiques, extremely rare, even within this hall. Therefore, finding a method to cultivate it is difficult. Right now, I can only find one method."
"Ahem," the old man cleared his throat again after seeing Qing Tan remain silent, and then continued, "That is to have intercourse with someone who possesses the Yin Sha physique, absorbing their Yin Sha energy to strengthen oneself."
After the old man finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense. Neither Qing Tan nor the old man spoke.
Qing Tan blinked. Although she had expected this, she was still slightly at a loss for words when it actually happened.
"Cough, cough," the old man cleared his throat countless times tonight. He cherished his disciple dearly, treating her like his own offspring. Now, the method he was proposing was for his offspring to have intercourse with another man. If Qing Tan were a man, it would be fine; the old man would even force her to do it. But Qing Tan was a girl, especially since she had someone she loved. So the old man was a little hesitant to say anything, and could only wave his hand with a wry smile, saying, "I'll try to find another method for you. Let's only discuss this method as a last resort."
"Master, I agree."
