"Damn it, I should have kept my virginity a bit longer!" Qin Qi said with a wry smile, "Tell me, if I start accumulating Yang energy now, how long will it take to cultivate?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The mysterious woman sneered, "You’re dreaming! Once your primordial Yang is lost, you can’t accumulate it again unless your foundation is strong!"

"Right now, your Yang energy is abundant because your foundation is solid, but you can’t actually accumulate it anymore."

"Moreover, you couldn’t even maintain your virginity today; do you think you can accumulate it?"

Qin Qi was left speechless.

He could only say helplessly, "It seems I can only continue practicing the Health Yang Technique. If both the Health Yang Technique and the Source Celestial Scripture can’t push me to the basic level of cultivating True Qi, then I have no choice but to accept my fate!"

The mysterious woman continued, "Don’t be too pessimistic. There’s always a way out. The strictness of cultivating True Qi demands years of accumulated Yang energy, even for a pure Yang body."

"Abstaining from womanizing is not as simple as it sounds; it’s no easy feat!"

Though Qin Qi was eager for the advanced Secret Technique of True Qi, he could only take it one step at a time since he couldn’t practice it yet.

With that, he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

When he became conscious again.

A lazy and aloof-sounding voice reached Qin Qi’s ears, "Hmph, you didn’t sleep until late today. It seems you really treated my words as nothing more than a breeze by your ears?"

Qin Qi had already guessed it before going to sleep.

He blinked and had to come up with an excuse, "Ah, I was just having insomnia today. I went to bed early, but I couldn’t fall asleep until then!"

"Hmph, once bad habits form, it’s hard to break them. I slept at nine, waiting for you in this dream world for over two hours!" Duan Meng slowly got up.

Her exquisite face was perfectly presented in front of Qin Qi.

Qin Qi blinked, puzzled, "Miss Duan, why were you waiting for me in your sleep?"

The air instantly became awkward and silent.

Duan Meng hesitated to speak but couldn’t find the perfect way to answer this question.

Yes, why was she waiting for Qin Qi?

Even she couldn’t say.

Wasn’t she supposed to just sleep, why wait for Qin Qi?

After a long time, Duan Meng’s face warmed up slightly, and she said, "Hmph, you’re one of my subordinates. I went to sleep, and you didn’t. Can’t I wait a little?"

Qin Qi listened to this lame excuse and secretly laughed.

Clearly, Duan Meng wanted to find him in dreams, but she refused to admit it, making up a bunch of reasons instead.

He played dumb, "Ah, that’s true. Miss Duan is right. If you have any instructions, feel free to tell me."

Duan Meng gritted her teeth, trying to say something, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

Was she supposed to tell Qin Qi? That she hoped he’d do some cuddly things in the dream?

Who was she? Duan Meng, of course she couldn’t say such things.

But not saying it left her with yearning; the daytime emptiness and loneliness felt especially torturous.

Though she had come out of the statue, she found herself missing the last moments within, disturbed by Qin Qi’s dream intrusions.

"Women, it seems, are all the same, regardless of age. Torn and prideful, wanting something but unwilling to admit it..."

Qin Qi laughed to himself, "I wonder how long you can hold out!"

The more Duan Meng thought about it, the angrier she got.

Did Qin Qi not know what she wanted? In previous dreams, he was as ravenous as a starving wolf. Why had he suddenly calmed down in recent days?

Ridiculous!

"Is he tired of me?"

A thought crept into Duan Meng’s mind, causing her to let out a cold humph, "There’s nothing I need you to do!"

Qin Qi saw that Duan Meng still didn’t say anything meaningful in the end.

He intended to take the initiative.

But upon reflection.

To conquer Duan Meng, one couldn’t just go along with everything; too much submission, and she might actually treat him as a servant!

With that thought, he scratched his ear, looking exhausted, "Miss Duan, is there really nothing you need from me?"

Duan Meng said coldly, "Don’t overestimate yourself. Just because I can order you around doesn’t mean I need you."

"Ordering you and needing you are different things. Get it straight!"

Qin Qi twitched his mouth.

Damn it, one day I’ll deal with this woman.

But now?

Qin Qi chuckled lightly, "Alright then. As Miss Duan says, given your status and strength, how could you possibly need me? Since there’s nothing, I’ll be on my way!"

Clearly longing yet turning words into flowers.

Then, go ahead and endure!

With that said, Qin Qi left the dream without another word.

Seeing Qin Qi leaving the dream directly, in a hotel in Sucheng, Duan Meng sat cross-legged on the bed, her delicate body trembling, filled with resentment and anger!

"You, that Qin!"

Duan Meng shook with fury.

Couldn’t he be a bit more assertive, a bit more proactive, coming to her instead? Did she really have to spell it out?

Who did she think she was? How could she possibly make it clear!

But she soon calmed down.

With it came endless loneliness!

The familiar emptiness from those years as a statue resurfaced, making her thighs clamp together involuntarily, her mind filled with Qin Qi’s fingers tormenting her over and over.

The taste and feeling made her yearn, craving another round!

"I..."

Duan Meng bit her lip.

Such a torturous night, she didn’t want another one.

"Qin Qi’s hands work, so do mine, right?" With that thought, Duan Meng suddenly had a new idea.

But she couldn’t get over her inner conflict.

Who was she? How could she do something so disgraceful?

"Just this once, just twice will do..."

The wavering in her heart made her raise her delicate hand, gradually reaching under her skirt.

"Mmm~"

The familiar feeling welled up again, making Duan Meng’s eyes shine brightly. The originally stipulated twice was soon forgotten!

From thinking twice would suffice, she gradually went faster, falling deeper into desire.

But in the end, sunk in desire, all she found was more unfulfilled yearning!

"This... Why isn’t it the same feeling he gives me?" Breathing heavily, Duan Meng found her attempts not only unfulfilling but leaving her even more longing!
