A Celestial Emperor’s Self-Cultivation - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: I Will Follow Senior Brother As A Zither Attendant!

That was so embarrassing!~

After saying that, Ji Mingyue felt her face becoming extremely hot.

One must know that despite having lived in a brothel for the past three years, Ji Mingyue had always taken heed of her virtue.

Let alone exposing her body, she even covered her face with a fine gauze to keep people from seeing it.

On a normal day, even when facing Li Hanguang, she would never take the initiative to propose something like taking off her clothes.

At most, she would yield with a show of reluctance…

After all, it was still necessary to show some reservations on the surface.

But today’s situation was different!

Mingyue was very clear about how difficult it was to raise one’s aptitude.

It would not only require a precious elixir but also someone to expend a great deal of their own vitality to help refine the pill!

Many secret methods for improving another’s aptitude would deplete the caster’s own Cultivation Base or even their Origin Life Force to succeed.

In other words, upgrading another’s aptitude may deplete one’s own aptitude and even shorten one’s lifespan!

Her Senior Brother had obtained the pill from an ancient secret realm, so the side effects might be much lesser.

But without a doubt, it would definitely impair his vitality.

He doesn’t want me to get worried, that’s why he said that it’s fine.

Senior Brother is so kind to me!

How can I let him use so much vitality just because he’s a man and I’m a woman?!

Thinking of this, Ji Mingyue’s eyes became firm.

She had to take off her clothes!

Seeing Ji Mingyue whose face was full of ‘shyness’ and ‘anticipation’, Li Hanguang could not help rolling his eyes.

This girl, what does she have in her head all day?

With the Bronze Mark, I can directly fuse the top-grade Metal Spiritual Root I got from that kid, Chu Xiaolian, into you.

This pill, the ‘refining’, and whatnot are no more than excuses.

If I take this opportunity to get you naked, what kind of person would I…

Wait, it’s not like that can’t happen!

Cough, cough~

…

Li Hanguang’s inner heart was at war. In the end, he said in a helpless tone, “Junior Sister, between the sexes there should be a prudent reserve.”

Senior Brother is indeed a gentleman!

Ji Mingyue was moved to tears. She said firmly, “Senior Brother, I owe you my life and a debt of a lifetime.

“I’m willing to sacrifice even my life for you, let alone this withering body!

“Senior Brother, you washed away my foul qualities and helped me increase my aptitude. Although I’m a stupid person, I know that this will inevitably damage your vitality.

“These clothes may be thin, but it will hinder your Spiritual Energy from entering my body.

“Please, Senior Brother, allow me to remove my clothes before I consume the pill. If not…I would rather remain as someone with a low aptitude forever!”

Looking at Ji Mingyue who was extremely determined, Li Hanguang suddenly felt a little bothered.

Everybody saw it, I refused her before!

But she kept coming back!

If I turn her down again, can I still consider myself a man?

After some thought, Li Hanguang sighed. “You’re still as stubborn as always!

“Forget it! Three years ago, you insisted on not joining the Unyielding Sword Sect and I didn’t try to persuade you. Today, I will respect your decision as well.

“Remove your outer clothing! Your breastband and inner clothing won’t affect the flow of Spiritual Energy.”

Ji Mingyue was overjoyed as she said while smiling, “Thank you, Senior Brother!”

Senior Brother was a true gentleman. Even at this moment, he’s still worrying about her integrity.

If it were any other filthy man, I’m guessing they’ll want me to take everything off! As expected, Senior Brother Li is such a gentle person!

With that in mind, Ji Mingyue consumed the golden pill and slowly took off her outer clothing.

“Senior Brother, come!”

Ji Mingyue sat legs-crossed on the bed and spoke with a voice as soft as mosquitoes and flies while exposing her back with a complexion as white as snow.

Had it not been for Li Hanguang’s extensive knowledge and experience from his past life, he would have already faltered and lost all control by this time.

Sure enough, taking off just the outer clothing is sexier than taking everything off. This red breastband that was adhering to her skin…

Tsk, tsk, tsk~

Cough, cough, I am a righteous man, so I must look at her no more!

Things will get worse if I look at her any longer!

Li Hanguang took a deep breath and sat behind Ji Mingyue.

He stretched out his hands and put them on Ji Mingyue’s back. “Junior Sister, I’m about to start.”

Ji Mingyue nodded gently and said with a firm tone, “You don’t have to take pity on me, Senior Brother. I can take it. Do whatever’s necessary!”

Although she heard that the process of cleansing one’s foul qualities was very painful, Ji Mingyue did not want her Senior Brother to slow down because of his fear of hurting her.

That would only make her Senior Brother expend more of his vitality!

She would rather her Senior Brother do it quickly, even if it meant that she had to bear and suffer more pain!

For the wellbeing of her Senior Brother, anything would do!

…

Ji Mingyue’s mind went off into wild flights of fancy.

Li Hanguang got into a meditating position, calmed his Qi, and slowly cycled Spiritual Energy within his body.

Through research, he discovered that Elemental Spiritual Energy itself had a nourishing effect which was even stronger than Spiritual Energy of the Wood Element alone!

Using Elemental Spiritual Energy to purify Ji Mingyue’s body was definitely beneficial for her.

At the same time, it could lay down protection for the fusion of Spiritual Roots!

Pure Elemental Spiritual Energy flowed out slowly along the acupoints on Li Hanguang’s palm.

His palm began to heat up, causing Ji Mingyue’s body to tremble slightly.

Ah~

She could feel the changes in her body.

Something hot was pouring into her body from behind and it felt very comfortable.

And very amazing~

Ji Mingyue originally thought that the process of improving one’s aptitude would be as painful as stated in the historical records!

However, there was no discomfort at all!

It felt so comfortable that it gave her the urge to stretch and moan in enjoyment.

No, no, no, I mustn’t do that. Senior Brother is still here!

That’ll be too rude!

…

“Junior Sister, how do you feel?”

This was also the first time Li Hanguang used Elemental Spiritual Energy to nourish somebody else’s body. He had no experience.

He was worried that if he did not control it well, he would hurt Ji Mingyue again.

But evidently, he was worrying for nothing. Instead, Ji Mingyue was more worried about him right now. “Senior Brother, please don’t take pity on me. You may do it quickly!”

Warm tears filled Ji Mingyue’s eyes.

When others had their aptitudes improved, they had to endure a pain that felt as if their skin was being ripped off and their muscles were being torn.

How can it feel this comfortable when Senior Brother is doing it for me? How can there be such a good thing in this world?

He must be doing all the procedures as gently as possible and might even have figured out additional methods to help me isolate the pain.

But helping others to improve their aptitude is an act of altering one’s fate against the will of heaven.

No matter how mighty and unrivaled Senior Brother is, he must be under great pressure.

What’s more, he’s still in the process of isolating the pain for me! That certainly makes things even more difficult!

For every second delayed, Senior Brother will lose more of his primal energy, and his vitality may even be impaired because of this!

What have I done for Senior Brother to be willing to sacrifice for me like this?

There’s absolutely no way that I can ever repay this!

Forget it!

If you don’t mind, Senior Brother, I will seek no name and status, but only accompany you by your side, always.

Even as a mere zither attendant!

…

In Ji Mingyue’s heart, she had made up a complete Chiung Yao-style drama in her mind.

For Li Hanguang, he had only just injected Elemental Spiritual Energy into the meridians on Ji Mingyue’s back.

Seriously though, her meridians are really fair…

Tsk tsk tsk~

Not just fair, but really huge…

Mmm, maybe thick is a better word. Hers are at least ten times thicker than ordinary cultivators!

Come to think of it right now, it’s probably because of her Miaoyin Celestial Body.

Initially, Li Hanguang was worried that the Elemental Spiritual Energy might damage Ji Mingyue’s meridians due to it being too high a grade.

But from the looks of it, he did not need to be this careful at all. He could just do it boldly.

Coincidently at this moment, Ji Mingyue urged him to be quicker.

All of a sudden, Li Hanguang knew just the right thing to do.

…

Alright then!

I’ll speed up!
