When I woke up, I found myself in a similar situation, which may look awkward, but it was the only warmth in this world for me. I looked down at the familiar face pressing against my chest, his hands were wrapping around my waist, and his legs pressing against mine. I looked around to check if anyone was watching us. Only to find that we were in my room already.
I looked back at him, and he was still clinging to me. I pushed his head away from my chest, but his hands were still wrapped around my body. Usually, I would already lash out at him, but right now, I really wanted him closer to me, only me…
I was watching him sleep peacefully when he suddenly opened his eyes, and our eyes met. He didn't even waste a second and directly tightened his grip around my waist and pressed his body on mine. I didn't have the time to react before he placed his lips on my cheeks.
"You…" I sat up on the bed, staring at him angrily.
This pervert can never let me have some simple, peaceful moments in life.
I looked at face carrying, a slight smile around his lips, which was enough to annoy me. But my anger will only fuel him.
"Hmph," I snorted at him and turned my face away, trying to step out of the bed. Just when I thought it was over, he hugged me from behind, making me freeze in my place, as I felt his soft lips touching around my ears. A strange current ran down my whole body, my face turning completely red.
"Sister… where are you going? It is our dual cultivation time." He whispered almost inside my ears, making my whole reaction to him, but his words forced me back to myself. I turned to him, and he was still smiling sluggishly.
I don't know, but if one day he learned to control his filthy mouth. I don't know what I will be able to do against him.
A few minutes later, we sat cross-legged facing each other on the bed.
"Let the blood flow through your veins, no restraint, no shackles, just free and chaotic. Loosen up your body, and let the Spirit Qi fuse with your blood." His voice was echoing in my head like divine chants, as I followed his instructions. My blood started to heat up, heat becoming more and more evident, as my skin turned blazing red, the sweat dripping from my body evaporated into steam.
The heat was becoming unbearable as the time passed, my blood had turned into magma, and the blood core in my dantian had transformed into the blood sun, just like when it was first formed. The only difference at that time there was that book which forced me to bear this pain. But this time, it was my desire to break these shackles that were forcing me to endure it all.
Amidst this burning hell, I felt something cold around my neck. It was like a tiny fragment of relief amidst all the suffering. Slowly, the cold emanating around my chest started to counter the burning heat in my blood. I could feel this cold energy entering the burning sun in my dantian, making its heat even intense. But as it was also cooling the blood in my veins and becoming a fuel for the blood sun. It was beyond my understanding what was going on. I just watched as everything played out on its own.
I didn't remember how much time had passed, but when I opened my eyes again. Ji Woo wasn't in front of me anymore, and when I examined myself, I saw my skin was cracked all over my body. I quickly stood up and went to the wardrobe to look at my face, and it was filled with cracked, wrinkled skin. Which almost caused me a heart attack, the panic I felt was entirely different. I quickly tried to touch my skin, only to see it falling like a dried leaf from the tree.
I quickly started to rub away all the dried skin around my face, as the glowing milky white skin peeked from beneath the dead skin. This was all over my body. I entered the bathroom, properly removing the dead skin, as my new skin revealed itself. It was spotless, a skin softer than cotton, but softness doesn't mean weakness. This time, I was able to feel the dormant power flowing through my veins.
Something seemed to have changed in my body; my blood sun was still burning, just not as intensely as before, but its glow felt slightly higher than before. This transformation wasn't just passive; I could feel this new power actively.
After taking a good shower, I left the washroom in a towel. After coming out, I opened the window, letting some fresh air in. The night was completely black, the moon hidden beneath the clouds, as a dormant storm seemed to be nearing. Just as I was looking outside, a strong gust of wind slammed the windows. Luckily, the glass didn't break. I quickly closed the window again and went to dress up.
I was wearing the dress half-naked when someone entered my room. I quickly tried to cover myself before turning to the door. A familiar face with red eyes peeked in like a cat, his lips curved into an evil grin.
I quickly put on my dress before giving him an icy glare. While he laughed mischievously. As I stared at him, he didn't even try to leave; instead, he blatantly walked in. Without even caring about my privacy.
Well, come to think of it. This pervert had never considered anything about privacy.
"Sister, I brought you dinner." He walked inside, carrying a full plate of dinner and sat down on my bed.
I don't know what to say, but I was really hungry. I sat beside him without saying a word and had the meal. The food was really delicious, or I was too hungry. But I emptied the whole plate in a few minutes, and I still felt like I could eat more. Once I finished my meal, I looked at Ji Woo, who was still staring at me.
"What are you waiting for? Now leave, I need some sleep," I said to him, while clearly knowing the worlds are useless, he would still sneak in once I fall asleep, but saying this had become my habit.
