NOVEL WEB Chapter 478 Heavenly Maiden's Skill
"What are you trying to do?"
Ruan Hongzhuang saw Shen Siyuan twist her body into an odd position and couldn't help but ask with a flushed face.
At this moment, her heart was filled with both anxiety and excitement.
The anxiety naturally stemmed from the worry that Shen Siyuan was experimenting with new antics that her body might not endure, while the excitement was due to the deep-rooted desire, a shameful excitement stirring within.
"Don't move."
Shen Siyuan slapped her on the butt, then lifted her leg up.
"Stop doing this," Ruan Hongzhuang said somewhat sheepishly.
"Didn't I say before that I would teach you something new? I'm teaching you new things now," said Shen Siyuan.
"Does learning new things require such a posture?"
Even though they were like an old married couple, Ruan Hongzhuang still felt immensely embarrassed, her entire body turning a warm shade of red.
If this were a two-dimensional world, she might even be emitting steam right now.
"What do you think? If it weren't for your recent progress in Embrace the Wind and Sleep, I wouldn't be willing to teach you," Shen Siyuan said.
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
"What next? Do I hold this position the entire time? It's a good thing I've practiced yoga and Pilates, otherwise maintaining such a posture… Wait… What are you doing?" Ruan Hongzhuang widened her eyes and said.
"I told you I'm teaching you to practice."
"Does practicing require connecting with me?"
"This is the Dual Cultivation Technique, hold your breath, calm your mind, eliminate distractions."
"How can I eliminate distractions like this?" Ruan Hongzhuang was nearly in tears.
At this moment, she couldn't even speak of eliminating distractions, her entire being was ignited by desire.
Hearing her words, Shen Siyuan did not insist but instead held her face, bringing his head close.
Ruan Hongzhuang immediately moved forward to meet him and kissed Shen Siyuan.
But Shen Siyuan instead bumped her lightly with his forehead, whispering, "Don't move."
Ruan Hongzhuang pouted in displeasure, but then she saw Shen Siyuan press his forehead against hers.
Then Shen Siyuan's Divine Sense linked with Ruan Hongzhuang's consciousness.
However, this connection was different from the connection with Tang Tang.
To be precise, it was as if Shen Siyuan pulled Ruan Hongzhuang's consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.
Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly felt her consciousness blur, then found herself appearing above a vast ocean.
She stood naked atop the water, the entire ocean reflecting like a mirror embedded in the earth, calm without the slightest ripple.
She lightly touched the water with her toe, causing ripples to spread outward in all directions.
This world seemed devoid of any living beings, no wind, eerily silent enough to evoke fear.
"Si Yuan."
Ruan Hongzhuang glanced around and softly called out.
"Si Yuan… Si Yuan… Si Yuan…"
With just a gentle call, a massive echo reverberated, startling her into covering her body's key parts instinctively.
"I am here."
Shen Siyuan's voice suddenly rang through the sky, like a great bell.
Hearing it, Ruan Hongzhuang looked up towards the sky and saw a divine figure sitting cross-legged, emitting golden light, with a great sun radiating brilliance from behind his head.
Beside him was a tattered flag, yet despite its state, it still exuded a majestic power. A single glance seemed to pull at her body, as if it sought to tear her apart.
At that moment, the divine figure in the sky pointed a finger at her, causing the seawater to rise, transforming into a blue gown covering her body.
"Si Yuan?" Ruan Hongzhuang stood agape, instinctively calling out.
"It's me."
The divine figure descended from the sky, the light fading from his body, revealing none other than Shen Siyuan.
"Where… is this place?"
Ruan Hongzhuang wrapped her arms around Shen Siyuan's neck, feeling nervous yet curious as she looked around.
"This is inside my Sea of Consciousness."
"Sea of Consciousness?" Ruan Hongzhuang was familiar with the term.
"So all of this is false?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.
"When truth is false, false can be true…"
Shen Siyuan hooked a finger towards the sea, immediately causing a massive whale to soar from the depths, freely flying through the air.
Ruan Hongzhuang watched this wondrous scene in astonishment, unable to close her mouth.
It took a good while before she regained her composure enough to ask, "So why did you bring me here?"
"Naturally, to impart the Miao Skill to you." Shen Siyuan said, placing an arm around her waist.
Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang immediately recalled the earlier events, her body beginning to heat up again.
"What kind of Miao Skill needs to be taught here?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked, blushing deeply.
"The Heavenly Maiden's Skill, an extremely mystical art. Many poses and movements are complex, and using consciousness to convey helps you grasp the essence faster," Shen Siyuan explained.
"In that case, teach me quickly," Ruan Hongzhuang said, brimming with excitement, eager to learn.
"Relax your mind, don't resist."
Shen Siyuan gently stroked Ruan Hongzhuang's back, helping her taut spirit slowly unwind.
The so-called Heavenly Maiden's Skill has many other names: Divine Woman's Skill, Heavenly Demon Skill, Charming Girl Skill…
In essence, it is a female cultivation technique, focusing on harnessing desire to wield divine power.
This technique, propelled by extreme emotions, is considered unorthodox in the Great Wilderness, often categorized as a fringe discipline or even a Demon Path's evil art.
However, from Shen Siyuan's perspective, whether fringe discipline or Demon Path's art, they all belong to the realm of the Dao.
It's like the path up a mountain; some walk the grand Tongtian road, while others tread through winding trails, only the paths differ.
Some paths are blocked midway, unable to reach the peak, while others twist and can only spiral around the hillside…
But in today's world, devoid of Spiritual Energy, achieving any success is out of the question on those grand Tongtian roads. Only those paths that utilize emotional propulsion, shortcut byways, might lead to some success.
This is why Shen Siyuan teaches Ruan Hongzhuang the Heavenly Maiden's Skill, using desire to strengthen the Divine Soul, ensuring that even if grand powers cannot be attained, her body will be strong, and her mind sharp.
The Heavenly Maiden's Skill is divided into two parts: the first part being the technique for solitary cultivation, the second for dual cultivation.
Many of the movements in the first part, to Ruan Hongzhuang, seemed more like a dance, an enticing, provocative dance, akin to the borderline dances seen on short videos that make one blush.
"Are you certain you aren't deceiving me?" Ruan Hongzhuang mumbled.
By then, her body was entirely beyond her control, dancing while speaking.
But Shen Siyuan didn't offer any explanation; instead, he chided, "Calm your spirit, focus on understanding the essence."
Seeing Shen Siyuan's serious expression, not like he's joking, Ruan Hongzhuang began to focus.
Intelligent as she was, coupled with Shen Siyuan's Divine Sense transmission, she quickly grasped the essence of it, her desire surging, yet her heart becoming increasingly serene. This juxtaposition of two extreme and opposing emotions appeared within her as if her body and soul had separated.
An indescribable sensation washed over her heart, her body twisting even more extravagantly.
As Shen Siyuan's teachings went on, Ruan Hongzhuang slowly mastered the essentials of the Heavenly Maiden's Skill.
Unbeknownst to Shen Siyuan, as Ruan Hongzhuang moved, beneath the mirrored Sea of Consciousness, another Ruan Hongzhuang was reflected, equally dancing with fervor, exuding enticing desire.
