Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 179 Weathering the Storm

Wei Lan woke up for the second time, as the sounds of the waves hitting the distant beach and the cries of seagulls were creating a peaceful atmosphere and after a light daze slightly rebukingly looked at Wu Long who was smiling from ear to ear with contentment.

"You're that happy with your breakfast?"

"Hahah, come on, you looked so hot I was barely able to restrain myself from starting earlier to watch you move around a little"

She rolled her eyes but there was a happy smile touching her lips when she turned away to start climbing out of bed. It was a good feeling to sexually attract a man you had romantic feelings for, after all, even if she acted all spiky because of her interrupted cooking.

She left the bed and resumed her cooking, this time not making any moves in bed that might inspire him to have another one of those 'breakfasts'. She wore her clothes and then another clean apron, and went to cook again.

She noticed something different before, but as she reignited the stove that already went out while she napped and started preparing the real breakfast she realized that there was now a bond connecting her to Wu Long as a realization about the 2nd layer of the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art hit her and she looked back at him in astonishment. A warm feeling spread through her heart as she felt this connection and saw his smile.

He stood up from the bed and she looked at his naked body enchanted for a moment or two, but quickly turned back to cook while calming down the heat that started rising from her nether region and her thumping heart.

'I must have lost my mind'

She shook her head as an intense desire to drag him back to the bed overwhelmed her for a few moments. She calmed down and proceeded to cook.

After she prepared a delicious breakfast and they ate he kissed her on the forehead to thank her and she brightly smiled. She tried to process everything that happened since she took that leap of faith, as she now felt incredibly gratified for that choice to follow her heart since she felt happiness she had never expected to find. Just this small gesture of a kiss on her forehead gave her so much comfort that it was baffling. She inwardly decided that she definitely had to thank Cao Mei who helped her make that crucial step forward.

Wu Long also had a strange feeling, as this was the first time someone specifically cooked for him, and only him, with his taste and preferences in mind. It was a soothing feeling that he felt for the first time. And the meal felt even more delicious even if he already tasted the same meal as she had cooked it for them before.

Later in the day the wind picked up and stormy clouds could be seen on the horizon. Wu Long surrounded the village with talismans and created a formation that shielded the entire village. He would not be there to shield them from every storm, but while he was here he might as well help a little, especially since it seemed that it would be a particularly severe storm. The villagers were so overjoyed that they wanted to thank him, and as they saw the number of beauties he had, one of them had an idea of giving him a bigger dwelling so that he could weather the storm with all of his beauties without being squeezed into a small hut. The problem lay in the fact that the house which was big enough to comfortably stay in was a little further away and was not in the radius of the formation.

But when Wu Long heard their discussion he chuckled and asked if he could use that house as he could just make a smaller formation around it. The villagers immediately agreed, happy that they had at least something to thank him.

A little further from the village, there was a bigger wooden house that was usually used for village meetings and ceremonies like the collective ceremony of coming of age for all of the village kids. They refurnished it a little and it became a comfortable house the six of them could live in as Wu Long placed talismans on the house. He did not create a separate barrier outside as he saw that the natural landscape would not be suitable to use, and simply reinforced the house itself, as well as making formation screens that shielded windows and porches.

Not long after the villagers safely stayed inside the formation barrier around the village while Wu Long and the five beauties sat down in a room with a big door that went out to the porch, and overlooked a vast scenery from the hill. The village below the hill and the distant sea were all laid out before them as the storm descended upon the island and the surrounding sea.

The heavy rain that was thrust by the wind in all directions was hitting the house roof and walls as well as the formation screens, but since the structure was reinforced and did not let through any wind or force, only letting through the sounds, it simply created a flowing music of nature instead. The sharp contrast between the weather outside and the warmth inside created a magical cozy atmosphere that was accompanied by that music. They sipped on tea and talked about various topics, sometimes laughing.

At one point, Luo Mingyu looked at Hua Ziyan who was looking outside with a slightly enchanted look as a slightly sad look appeared in her eyes.

"Hm? Sister Ziyan? What is it?"

The sad look in her eyes did not match well with the cozy atmosphere they had, so Luo Mingyu was slightly surprised and the others also looked in her direction.

"Eh? Ah... no. I was just thinking about the person in the story Wu Long told me a while ago"

She smiled reassuring Luo Mingyu with a? smile.

"Story? What story?"

As her curiosity was piqued there appeared a light of anticipation in Luo Mingyu's eyes.

"I... it's a sad one... besides..."

"A sad story? This is unusual. I want to hear too"

Hua Ziyan was a little taken aback as Shen Min also looked at her with curiosity since she liked all the stories Wu Long told her during their travels in the Tingren Kingdom, though they were all funny stories, and Wei Lan with Ye Ling expressed an interest as well, albeit more subtly. She looked a bit at a loss of what to do and then turned her eyes to Wu Long but he simply smiled while sipping tea and made a light nod that put her at ease.

Hua Ziyan then started telling the story, and as she spoke Ye Ling's hand that held her teacup trembled, and she looked at Wu Long with widened eyes. Wei Lan did not miss that subtle detail and was slightly intrigued by the normally always calm Ye Ling's unusual turmoil. But she quickly got invested in the story as it was now the time for the young emperor to start his pursuit of the woman. Ye Ling's eyes turned slightly red as she looked at Wu Long the entire time while he looked back at her with a soothing gaze, while the others looked at Hua Ziyan.

When the young lady in the story took her last breath a single tear went down Ye Ling's cheek and Wu Long gently caressed it, wiping the tear away and comforting her with his warmth. As Hua Ziyan finished the story, the room stayed silent for some time with only the sounds of the storm outside. Each of them had different expressions but they were mostly melancholic while Ye Ling embraced Wu Long who hugged her back and patted her back.

"...Wu Long told me this story on a rainy day so when I saw this downpour..."

Hua Ziyan tried to explain, seeing as she brought tears to both Luo Mingyu and even surprisingly Ye Ling.

"It is a good thing that you told this story because I can tell you how that young man is doing now"

Wu Long said with a smile so that Hua Ziyan did not feel bad for bringing this melancholic mood. All of their eyes, except Ye Ling, turned to Wu Long and he started telling the story, picking up where Hua Ziyan left as the young man continued his journey. As he talked more and more the beauties around him started to feel a strange feeling, especially when the young man started on the path of Dual Cultivation, and when he went after Lust Cultivators later. When the young man in the story sat in a distant world that was crumbling and falling most of them already guessed the man's identity but none of them said anything, and the guess was still very inconsistent. But when the young man woke up in the body of a sixteen-year-old disciple of a dual cultivation sect, a shiver went through them as they confirmed the correctness of their guess.

"...and since from this point on not much time has passed, and you all know parts of the story that you are part of I can skip the details to inform you all that he is doing fine, and right now feeling happiness being surrounded by five beautiful loving women he cherishes"
