Immediately, all the spirits cleaned up all the bodies, and the blood was scattered on the ground...While they were cleaning it, Gremory beside me asked me,
"What are you going to do to her?" She pointed at the disciple, who was still on the training ground, holding her mentor's hand...
I paused for a moment, contemplating my options. With a heavy sigh, I replied to Gremory, "I will have a conversation with her..."
I walked towards her. In front of her, she was looking at me with tears under her eyes and furious faces towards me.
Without looking at me, she opened her mouth and said, "What do you want?"
"I just want to know, what are you going to do now?" I asked gently, trying to convey empathy in my voice.
"I don't know...My mentor is dead in front of me with tragedy, and I can't just go back to the sect because it lied to me; I thought their cultivation was a righteous path...but now I see the darkness that lies within. I feel lost and betrayed." Her voice quivered with a mix of anger and vulnerability.
"If you are still confused about which path and way you want to go, you can stay here for a while. Take some time to heal and reflect on what you truly want for yourself, or maybe I can ask Gremory to heal your mind; she usually deals with emotional and psychological issues. Sometimes, it's necessary to step away from everything we know in order to find our own truth."
Finally she looked at me and said, "You mean this monstrous place..."
"Monstrous?"95Please respect copyright.PENANAIMJITUP23x
"Yeah, look at them, who are still cleaning the ground. What the fuck are they? They aren't humans, and they can shapeshift to different appearances.."
"They are spirits that Gremory commanded...Because Gremory is a companion of the love of women, and especially of maidens, so her spirits used maidens appearance...Even Gremory's appearance now is not her real appearance...". The reason is that Gremory takes human appearance because there was one shape of ceremonial magic before that made demons take human appearance...
"And that woman is the real deal of monstrous...Who the hell is she? Is she your dao partner?"
"No, she isn't my dao partner, and like you said, hell, she was from there, and she is a demon..."
"Demon you said.."
"And former angel..."
"What is an angel?"
Angel is a term from the Bible, from the Hebrew word malach and the Greek word angelos, both meaning "messenger". Surely, she doesn't know about the word of the angel...Let's see what the angel term is for this world.
"It's Xian or Xiannu...Which she--" I stopped for a second because I saw her face suddenly terrified and shocked...
"YOU MEAN SHE IS IMMORTAL BEING..." said her voice with a tremble of fear...
"WHAT I AM AN IMMORTAL BEING?" Someone spoke, and it was none other than Gremory, suddenly standing beside us...
The disciple became more afraid of Gremory, immediately prostrated towards her, and begged for her forgiveness... "May Senior forgive me for all of my ignorance and disrespectful behavior. Which I did it with Yu Lei too and I deeply regret my actions. I now understand the gravity of my mistakes and will do everything in my power to make amends."
Gremory asked me, "I heard your conversation with her; it seems you know each other..."
"Ah well...We knew each other since childhood, but our paths became different each other after we knew our talent for cultivation, or QI...I am not talented enough, but she is worthy enough...So she has been invited by other sect..."
"Hoooo...Typical human, blinded by power, and oppressing the weak...What is her name?"
"Cai Ying..." answered I.
Gremory turned her face to Cai Ying, and asked, "I heard about this Dao Partner...May you explain it to me?"
"Yes..May this mortal explain it to you, Dao Partner is a partner of dual cultivation..."
"And what is dual cultivation?"
"It's a method of cultivation that men and women do; you know what I mean, right?" Her face suddenly became so red...
"No, I don't know..."
"You know, it's when both of them touched each other--" She suddenly stopped with face full of red...
At once, Gremory turned at me, and asked the meaning of Dual Cultviation..
I answered, "Heal her first!!"
"Fine...Then you need to tell me..." While looking at me, she snapped her finger at Cai Ying...With her snapped finger, Cai Ying's body was fully recovered; all the bruises and blood were gone..."Now tell me!!" said Gremory...
I paused for a moment, collecting my thoughts. "Dual Cultivation," I began, "is a practice in certain martial arts and spiritual traditions where two individuals cultivate their energies together, combining their strengths and enhancing their abilities. It is believed to create a powerful bond between partners and can lead to profound spiritual growth."
Gremory nodded and said, "With what method? You are just telling me the meaning of it, not the method..."
"*Sigh*" I took a deep breath and said, "With physical contact, or intercourse between each other...
"OOOHHHHHHH...There is a method like that in this world..." Suddenly she showed a smirk, smiled at me, and came towards me...She leaned her mouth against my ear and whispered with a warm and inviting tone, "Do you want me to make her more seductive and loving to you?? So you can do this Dual Cultivation."
I was quite surprised and said, "Of course not..."
"You are not fun...So what will be going on with her?"
Which Cai Ying was still prostrating in front of us...I asked her again, "Do you want to go back to your sect, or which path do you want to choose?"
Cai Ying hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting between me and Gremory. Finally, she spoke softly, "I...I want to go back to my sect..."95Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ZETe0bdL
Gremory out of sudden said, "I think you need to stay here for a week..."
I asked the reason, "Why??"
"After these bunch of fools, there will be more bunch of fools to come here..."
"Well, that lay in Cai Ying's decision..." I turned at Cai Ying and asked, "What do you think?"
Cai Ying looked conflicted, unsure of what to say. She glanced at Gremory, then back at me before finally responding, "I...I think I should listen and stay here for a week..."
...
With that, Cai Ying would be staying at my place for a week...Gremory gave me the artefact of the Seal of Celestial Chains, which she didn't need...As the day passed, I realised that there were only me and Cai Ying as the only humans in here...I was walking around my place which now became bigger, because there were
I found Cai Ying still meditating in the corner of the room, her eyes closed in deep concentration...Seeing there was some aura around her body, it slightly made me envy to want some talent in cultivation... I wondered if there was a way for me to tap into that energy and unlock my own potential, and I had someone to ask...I was walking around the place and trying to find her...I found her at the garden, and I didn't believe that I had this big garden now with ponds and a pavilion around the ponds in it...I approached Gremory, who was still relaxing in the pavilion with some treats...
As I approached Gremory, the aroma of the treats filled the air, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. I didn't realise it when we met the first time, even yesterday, but now I realised how beautiful she was with a golden crown and white lace...Yet, with her beauty, she sometimes tested her summoner with her change to an ugly woman...Despite her occasional transformation into an ugly woman in some stories, Gremory's beauty remained captivating. It was as if her appearance reflected the complexity of her character, like I wanted to add an intriguing layer to our relationship...
That Solomon bastard is surely lucky to have this woman chase, love, and do anything for him..
"What do you want to seek this time?" asked her. Without looking at me, it was like she knew my arrival.
Her voice held a hint of amusement, as if she already knew the answer to her own question. I hesitated for a moment, captivated by her enigmatic aura, before finally mustering the courage to speak my desires aloud, "I want to have a power in this world..."
"Because you envy your childhood friend, you want to seek power with treasures in this world.."
I walked to approach her, sat in front of her seat...and our faces and eyes met each other... I could see my own reflection in her eyes. It was a surreal moment..Without breaking eye contact, I said in front of her, "Yes, that's exactly what I want...You have the power to know the treasures whereabouts...So may you lend your power to me?"
As I spoke those words, a wave of anticipation and vulnerability washed over me. The area around me fell silent, even though I could hear winds around me, and I could feel the weight of my request hanging in the air...
She took her tea and took a sip of it, finally opened her mouth, and said, "You have Cai Ying, right? You can try to do the method you explained before..."
"There is no way; I use that method..."
"Or..." she leaned her head towards me, her faces and her eyes became closer to me; she showed me lustful smile and licked her own lips, "Instead, Cai Ying, you want me to do with you?"
I hesitated for a moment, my heart racing at the unexpected proposition. The air grew heavy, and I didn't know where to look...My mind raced with conflicting thoughts as I struggled to make a decision...On one hand, the allure of her beauty was undeniable, but on the other hand, the idea of engaging with a demon filled me with uncertainty and fear...I weighed the risks and consequences in my mind, unsure of what path to choose....The temptation was undeniable...
I looked at her, my voice trembling with uncertainty, and started to stutter, "Bu-bu-t, you don't have the cultivate powers; instead, you have ang-ang-elic power...Is th-th-at work?"
Her eyes flickered with a mix of amusement and mischief as she leaned in closer; even so, she started to climb on the table, her voice dripping with honeyed persuasion. "My my my, don't you see? The power I possess is far beyond what any human could comprehend...It is not bound by the limitations of cultivation or earthly realms or different world...Like you saw when I did it with those fools...With me, you would experience a whole new level of existence." As she spoke, her words seemed to carry an otherworldly resonance, captivating and alluring. It was as if the very air around her crackled with an unseen energy, hinting at the immense potential of her abilities. With a mischievous smile, she added, "So, my dear, are you ready to embark on a journey that transcends the ordinary and embraces the extraordinary?" She immediately pushed me out of the chair...And we fell to the ground with her on the top of me...
