Chapter 101 Hopes and dreams
On the bed in Wu Long's room, two figures slowly moved in the dark. There was no light, and all that could be heard were their breaths, sighs, and light creaking of the bed.
Ye Ling was sitting on Wu Long's crotch and very slowly and sensually moved her body. The movement was so slow that one full thrust would take over a minute. Her hands were on his abdomen, collected together, and his were on her waist, helping her move.
They did not need the light to see each other as they could sense each other's body through touch and feel it moving in contact with theirs. The movement was mild enough for Ye Ling not to moan, as they enjoyed the sound of each other's every breath and sigh. There was passion in their movements, passion, and longing. Their hands traveled through each other's skin from time to time, as if confirming they were there, and caressing each other.
Hours passed and the pose changed, this time Ye Ling was below him in a missionary position, and Wu Long held her tight under him, moving his hips while they softly kissed. There were no words said, only the sounds of their bodies.
The motions were still as slow, neither was willing to rush as they were consumed by the slowly burning flame of pleasure. They sought comfort in each touch, confirming each other's existence. They felt one another's body temperature and listened to the occasional soft moan.
There were no special techniques or skills in their movements, as they were simply enjoying the contact it brought along. They changed positions, which were always intimate where they could hold each other close, a few times until they both finished and fell asleep in each other's embrace.

They did not circulate cultivation techniques as Ye Ling still could not cultivate due to internal injuries she made before, though they were much better and were on the verge of healing. And Wu Long was not in Qi Manifestation Realm so he would need to consciously circulate the technique without Spiritual Qi Soul, which he would normally not mind, but he wanted to concentrate solely on Ye Ling.
When they woke up in the morning, they did not rush to separate. Ye Ling was lying on Wu Long's chest, and listening to him while Wu Long had one hand behind his head, and another combing her silky black hair. Wu Long looked ponderingly at the ceiling while Ye Ling looked to the side. He narrated his experiences after her death, and how he eventually got here. He omitted a lot of things that were not really necessary for her to know the general situation and could make her sad. He also did not mention just how much her death broke him, but she already guessed that on her own.
"That woman… to think she would be able to do something like this. It seems you have met someone who has reached the legendary True God Realm…"
Ye Ling eventually said as he finished his story.
"Mm, I thought so too… but… the way she talked about a True God somehow makes me wonder…"
He replied with a pondering expression. The tone with which she said "True God" was of negligence. They lied like that for some time, as both had thoughts running through their heads.
"Do you think… 'she'… is here?"
After some time Ye Ling carefully asked. Hoping that this gift entailed even a bigger miracle, a miracle she could not possibly achieve when she was the one who saved him.
"...I …I do not know. I have hope, it is why I want to travel to the other continents, I want to see if she… and possibly others are here"
He said with uncertainty, as he truly was not able to be completely sure. He received no guidance or explanation regarding the gift he received. Of course, just the gift itself was already tremendous so he did not complain. Just the fact that Ye Ling was in his embrace again was already enough for him to hold eternal gratitude to that mysterious woman.
"I can try asking master…the sect leader to release your memories"
Ye Ling said, instinctively calling Lian Zhiqiu her master. Her personality before her memories was essentially the same, as her character did not change that much, so the new memories of the years she spent in this world as a novice cultivator did not feel foreign. Thus she did not feel any rejection to calling Lian Zhiqiu her master, though she obviously was amused at the thought when comparing her previous realm. And she did feel some attachment to the Ye family, though not as much as before. But of course, she was a lot more pragmatic about them since she now had the experience of thousands of years.
"Hmm, but then I would need to travel back to the sect… no worries, I can release the seal once I am in the Qi Manifestation Realm. I will also be going to the Wood Spirit Empire where I am presuming my current birthplace is. If we have the same names as we did in the past, it is quite possible that her surname is still Wu"
He answered. His first love belonged to the house he was adopted into in his past life, which gave him, who had no surname the surname Wu. Thus if she was still with the same name and appearance as her last life, she could very well be related to his sealed memories. He had no definite proof, and was not even completely sure that Ye Ling was not the only one, but he had hope.
"I just don't know what would happen if I do meet her… I …I changed so much…"
He said, as he truly was no longer the same Wu Long he used to be.
"It is okay, I am sure she will understand… and gradually adapt. Love works that way… if you love somebody you will accept them all with all of what they are"
She comforted him, who was truly conflicted. He nodded, still not completely free of his worries but nevertheless soothed by her, and kissed her. They then lay in silence for some time again.
"Haaah… a fractured world, huh. Do you think there is a way to travel from here while it is still fractured from the Seven Boundless Worlds, or restore the link faster?"
She then asked. As someone who was originally much higher in both cultivation and experience than Wu Long when she met him, she knew a fair amount about the world outside, so she was now someone Wu Long could share his thoughts on his current situation without having to create a vague image of the world outside for someone who has never been there.
"I don't know yet, but in the worst-case scenario we would have to use the unstable link"
"What? But-"
Ye Ling slightly raised her head, but he gently patted her hair and she relaxed and lay it back on his chest again.
"Don't worry, that is the worst-case scenario. Besides, I've been awakened for half a year now, and I can feel the quality and abundance of Spiritual Qi in this fractured world slowly but gradually improve. It is almost imperceptible, but this speed of improvement is already too high. If this world always improved at such a rate, it would have been healed a long time ago, so this healing should not have started that long ago"
He said, as he detected the rate of improvement, very slightly, but even grow in the time he observed it.
They lay like this for some more time in silence, just feeling the comfort of each other's warmth and touch.
"...By the way, you sure had your fun with my naive self"
She suddenly said, and his expression froze a little as he truly did tease her quite a lot.
"...You're saying that as if I did not tease you before…, besides, you were still a maiden in our past life too so you were not any different in that regard…"
"Hmm, so you're saying you have no guilty conscience?"
"..."
Wu Long remembered that he truly teased the younger and naive version of Ye Ling quite a bit more than he did in the past. He would sometimes tease her into running away with a red face, which he did before, but not almost every day they were together like in this life.
"...But…but you were so cute…"
"Hmph! I will tease you from now on"
As she said this, there was a determined expression on her face which he found unbearably cute. She really had no hope for this aspiration, as she fundamentally was the same, and it was always Wu Long who teased her, but he decided not to dampen her determination to see what she would try to do. So he just smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
They talked a lot more, so when they finally got out of bed it was already long since getting darker again.
Wu Long introduced Luo Mingyu and Feng Yi, who were both a little shy for this introduction, but Ye Ling welcomed them with a gentle smile. She also said a few words of encouragement so that they would not feel awkward around each other, and they soon retreated to have their secret women-only talk.
