NOVEL WEB Chapter 148.1
“Hey, where did Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Cheng go?” Sang Zixin asked with surprise, noticing how the two had vanished in the blink of an eye.
The others exchanged confused glances but burst into laughter the next moment. They didn’t expect Senior Brother Li to be so eager.
Elder Tian Min discovered that Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi had indeed slipped away. He chuckled and scolded, “We’ve been waiting for so long, and there’s still an hour and a half left. Why couldn’t he stay a little?”
“Youthful vigor, can’t blame him for being impatient.”
“Yes, indeed. They say a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so let’s not bother them.”
Li Tianyan was someone capable of surpassing Core Formation level cultivators. The elders present, even the supreme elders, didn’t dare treat him as just a junior. Seeing him leave the table midway, they simply chuckled and joked before resuming their toasts and conversations.
Despite Tianfan Immortal Sect’s loss to Haoyue Immortal Sect and Biluo Immortal Sect in the Five Region Competition, they had made quite an impact. With numerous disciples emerging from the secret realm, today’s grand wedding celebration was the perfect occasion to rejoice.
.
In the Qingdan Palace, the room once inhabited by Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi had been transformed into a festive and cozy wedding chamber after Cheng Qi’s meticulous decorations.
Through the hanging red gauze curtain, one could glimpse two figures clad in matching red tightly intertwined on the sole bed in the room.
Cheng Qi tilted his head up slightly to meet Li Tianyan’s kiss. He couldn’t recall how they had returned here or when their lips had entwined. It seemed to have started from the moment they left the banquet, or perhaps even earlier.
But none of that mattered now. Cheng Qi was only focused on the person before him. Since forming the contract, he had sensed Li Tianyan’s emotions and couldn’t help but surrender to them.
Li Tianyan’s kisses traced every contour of his mouth repeatedly, and he felt Cheng Qi’s response. He trembled as they embraced, everything else fading away.
In contrast to Li Tianyan’s wheat-colored skin, Cheng Qi seemed carved from white jade, where even a gentle touch could leave a faint red mark.
Cheng Qi wrapped his arms tightly around Li Tianyan’s neck, nerves and excitement mingling about what was to come.
However, in the next moment, all the anticipation and happiness fled. Cheng Qi’s widened eyes, like glassy black orbs, now held fear. He bit his lower lip, preventing any sound from escaping.
Li Tianyan, who had lived for hundreds of years and witnessed a lot, had never engaged in this act nor paid much heed to how others approached it.
Thus, when he raised his head, sweat glistening, he found Cheng Qi biting his lip, eyes filled with tears and a mix of grievance and apprehension. It made him unable to speak.
This scene left Li Tianyan feeling as though a bucket of cold water was poured over his heart. Considering Cheng Qi’s constitution, he knew many with a furnace physique were especially averse to such matters.
Thinking this through, although reluctant, Li Tianyan pursed his lips and said, “If you don’t like it, I’ll stop.”
“No, you can’t leave.” Seeing him still hesitant, Cheng Qi grew anxious and flipped over, pinning him down. Yet, this action caused them both to catch their breath.
Seeing Cheng Qi’s stubborn expression, tears held back, he looked pitifully vulnerable, making Li Tianyan sit up. He gently wiped the tears from his eyes with his thumb and asked playfully, “What do you want?”
“Kiss me, and it won’t hurt anymore,” Cheng Qi murmured softly. If Li Tianyan didn’t have sharp hearing, he might have missed it entirely.
Knowing the reason, Li Tianyan couldn’t help but laugh wryly, feeling both amused and sympathetic. Did it really hurt? Li Tianyan softly kissed his lips and immediately circulated wood-type spiritual energy into Cheng Qi’s body.
The gentle and vital energy circulated several times through Cheng Qi’s body, and gradually, his furrowed brow relaxed, releasing a soft sigh.
Stopping momentarily, Li Tianyan lightly kissed his jaw and mumbled, “Why didn’t you say something earlier?”
Cheng Qi’s mind was already in disarray. When Li Tianyan asked, he honestly replied, “I didn’t want you to stop.”
His smile widened at his words. “Alright, I won’t stop.”
Cheng Qi suddenly noticed something, his eyes widening in surprise, but he was quickly enveloped in the whirlpool of love, the room filling with a faint, ethereal glow.
Even in their intimacy, Li Tianyan didn’t forget to activate the Five Elements Yin-Yang Technique, mobilizing the outer true spiritual energy to circulate slowly. Using the dual Yin and Yang cultivation method learned from the training tower’s painting wall, he directed it into Cheng Qi’s body. Sensing Cheng Qi’s pure yin, he integrated it with his own yin energy, circulating it back and forth.
Through several cycles, their auras gradually harmonized, their true spiritual energies aligning. With Li Tianyan’s cultivation level two stages higher, his true spiritual energy was more assertive. As it circulated through Cheng Qi’s body, his spiritual veins and dantian expanded significantly.
Passing through Cheng Qi’s dantian, Li Tianyan’s true spiritual energy merged with traces of Nether fire, which flowed back into his own body. After an unknown period, he noticed a faint wisp of Nether fire integrating into the fire element within the Five Elements Bagua Formation, igniting a subtle purple light in his eyes.
As their movements ceased, Cheng Qi continued to channel the Yin Yuan Cultivation. The hot pure Yang essence swiftly absorbed, transformed into essence, and flowed into his dantian, instantly advancing his cultivation to the late stage of foundation establishment.
When Cheng Qi opened his eyes, he met Li Tianyan’s meaningful gaze, his cheeks flushing.
“Is this enough? Or do you want more?” Li Tianyan leaned closer, planting a kiss on Cheng Qi’s cheek before asking with a teasing smile.
Although Cheng Qi was a little embarrassed, he still nodded.
After that, the day passed.
Cheng Qi’s voice trembled as he said, “Young master, I’m done, that’s enough.”
Li Tianyan: “It’s not enough.”
Two more days passed…
Cheng Qi: “Oh oh oh, I don’t want it anymore.”
Li Tianyan: “Be good, you still want it.”
Cheng Qi: “But I’m so tired.”
Li Tianyan: “Don’t worry, I won’t stop.”
