Her cool gaze fixed steadily on his as she displayed a look of confusion on her face.

The elder stared with his small mung bean eyes, anger swelling in his heart, stuck in an awkward position.

He closed his eyes briefly, and said woodenly with a stiff expression: “This Venerable was just saying that. If it’s not a dual cultivation technique, why are you taking off your clothes?”

“Huh?” The woman wearing only an undergarment suddenly lowered her head.

She said in a daze: “The elder must have some misunderstanding. According to that secret manual, the person performing the technique and the recipient should be naked, with the caster pressing down on top of the recipient, fitting together tightly with skin touching. Then transferring true essence mouth to mouth can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Her face showed some embarrassment. Her thin lips parted and closed, and after a long while she finally said reassuringly: “This junior is actually unwilling to… to sully her own purity like this, but it concerns both our lives. Look outside the window…”

Outside the window, dark clouds had gathered densely, with rumbling sounds. At this moment the tribulation lightning had not yet formed, and there was no pressure in the sky.

But if it continued to develop, in less than half an incense stick’s time, the tribulation lightning would be able to take form.

“Without using this method, relying only on mouth-to-mouth transfer, I’m afraid the true essence in the elder’s body will circulate too quickly, unable to resist the gradually condensing true essence. Once the tribulation lightning forms, our lives will be in danger. Moreover, there are many powerful experts in the city now… if there’s any mishap…”

The female cultivator’s analysis covered all aspects, and Elder Pei was momentarily unable to refute.

He looked at her suspiciously, unwilling to give up as he asked: “Is this method truly effective?”

Liu Changning narrowed her eyes imperceptibly and nodded seriously, spreading her hands helplessly as she said: “This junior is also unwilling to do this… If the man I fancy finds out about this in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain clearly… But in the face of danger, alas! There’s no other choice.”

She lowered her head, her long hair covering half her face, looking completely helpless.

Pei Yuanshao felt a twinge of sourness in his heart, not knowing why. When the person before him said those words about “the man she fancied”, an unfamiliar sour feeling arose in his heart.

The feeling of jealousy came unfamiliarly and made him irritable.

He flapped his wings back and forth, the cowlick on his head drooping limply.

Closing his eyes briefly, he banished all the complicated emotions from his heart. He couldn’t help but mock sarcastically: “Heh? Then I’m sorry to inconvenience you!”

As he spoke, he disregarded the “resistance?” in his heart. A burst of white light surrounded his body.

Elder Pei transformed into human form, his entire body fiery red. At this moment, his skin color had deepened to a dark red due to the surge of spiritual power.

His dark red brocade robe had been left behind in the dark alley, and he was now naked.

The nameless anger in his heart made his expression unpleasant.

The behavior of the woman before him, always wanting to find a husband, was truly infuriating.

Elder Pei glanced at her sideways and sat down on Liu Changning’s body with a loud “plop”. Due to the large amplitude of the movement, his body swayed and touched her lower abdomen.

Elder Pei’s aloof expression froze on his face. He lowered his eyes and quickly pressed his legs together.

He furtively peeked at the woman in front of him.

Seeing no unusual expression on her face, as if she hadn’t noticed the awkwardness just now, he finally lowered his eyelids in relief.

Little did he know that Liu Changning had already taken note of his attempt to cover up his small movements. Her thin lips curved into a faint smile.

She imperceptibly parted her legs, cradling most of his body in her embrace.

Elder Pei lowered his head obscurely. His upright earlobes were flushed a deep purple. His crimson eyes darted back and forth, wanting to investigate the sudden feeling of being humiliated, but to no avail.

He could only endure this scorching sensation, pretending to be calm as he raised his head to look at Liu Changning, urging: “How does the secret technique work? Hurry up, this Venerable is burning up.”

Liu Changning’s eyes gradually darkened. She skillfully reached out to trace his pert buttocks, but her face looked extremely naive as she turned away, avoiding his gaze as she said evasively: “The elder only needs to lie down on the bed… This junior has much to apologize for.”

Seeing her clasp her hands in a gentleman’s manner at this moment, Elder Pei felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He glared at her. Outside the room, the gray clouds were gathering more and more densely, with occasional rumbles of thunder.

He closed his eyes briefly, steeling his heart as he lay stiffly on the purple sandalwood bed, shouting impatiently: “What’s with all the nonsense? Take off your clothes and get on!”

Inside the bed curtains, the man with reddish skin tilted his head impatiently to look at the woman by the bedside.

He frowned, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his fingers tapping the bed irritably.

He seemed unconcerned, but his legs were tightly crossed.

His body lay stiffly on the bed, as rigid as a dead fish.

The smile in Liu Changning’s eyes deepened. She lowered her head to conceal the upward curve of her lips.

She coughed lightly, but had no intention of letting such a good opportunity pass.

Her fair fingers pinched the corner of her undergarment, slowly and methodically parting the clothing to reveal a small patch of her fragrant shoulder.

She removed her clothes extremely slowly, pausing for a moment with each inch of skin exposed to the air.

The man on the bed stared with wide eyes, his fiery red eyelashes unblinking. It seemed he had never experienced such a strong visual impact before. His eyes were fixed unwaveringly, his entire being already entranced.

The old cadre continued to seduce imperceptibly. As her fingertips moved, her clothing fell away to reveal half her body. Her skin was like snow, her figure curvaceous. Her slender arms seemed fragile, but when she casually raised them, distinct muscles could be seen.

Pei Yuanshao stared somewhat dazedly, not daring to look lower. He tried to avert his gaze from the jade-like delicate body before him.

But his gaze could not move away, stuck to her body.

Liu Changning removed her clothing and pressed down on him.

As their skin touched, cool softness enveloped his entire body. Pei Yuanshao couldn’t help but tremble, letting out a comfortable soft moan.

His thin lips parted slightly. In a daze, he urged without any persuasiveness: “Stop dawdling, hurry and give the elder…”

Liu Changning pressed against his chest, her fingers twirling a lock of his hair as she asked huskily: “What does the elder want?”

Elder Pei was stunned for a moment, then angrily sputtered: “Want… want you…”

The words “true essence” were stuck in his throat and not finished. The woman before him had already leaned down, her lips drawing closer inch by inch.

She chuckled softly: “Mm, I’ll give everything to the elder!”
