Chapter 132: Leaning on the Wall to Step Out

Yu Tianyun had just arrived at the edge of the small pond when he noticed thin wisps of cooking smoke rising from the little courtyard.

He saw this and couldn't help but smile inwardly: "Looks like Erlong is cooking; arriving early is no good compared to arriving at the right moment!"

After saying that, he hurried toward the courtyard and gently pushed open the gate. In an instant, a strong aroma of food hit his nose. He shouted loudly, "Erlong, I'm here!"

Inside, Liu Erlong's gentle voice replied at once: "Tianyun, why did you come at this hour?"

"What's that? Not welcome?" Yu Tianyun's mouth curled into a mischievous grin as he strode into the room, wrapped his arms around Liu Erlong's slender waist from behind, pressed his chin affectionately against her fragrant shoulder, and twitched his nose twice, savoring the faint scent in her hair.

"Ah—"

Liu Erlong's delicate body suddenly stiffened, her eyes half‑closed as she subtly felt the sudden intimacy. She slightly opened her mouth and chided:

"Why are you still calling me that?"

Yu Tianyun not only didn't let go but held her tighter, whispering at her ear, "I've gotten used to calling you that! Besides, don't you think this nickname has its own charm?"

Liu Erlong's face instantly flushed, teasingly retorting, "You're such a naturally wicked little rascal, always full of strange ideas!"

Saying that, she tried to gently wriggle free of Yu Tianyun's embrace, but he held her even tighter. She helplessly turned her head, her fine brows slightly furrowed, and said, "Tianyun, stop fooling around; I still have to cook."

Yu Tianyun, instead of releasing her, buried his head deep in Liu Erlong's nape, a sly smile on his face, and said, "Erlong, you keep cooking; I'll give you a relaxing massage."

With that, his large hands gently pressed on her creamy‑white skin.

A crimson hue quickly spread from Liu Erlong's cheeks to her neck; although the massage felt pleasant, she could no longer focus on cooking.

"Erlong, does it feel good?" Yu Tianyun asked with a mischievous grin.

Liu Erlong let out a helpless sigh and teased,

"You, you really are a handful."

Her blush deepened, and her eyes were full of indulgence and affection.

Yu Tianyun's nose brushed lightly through her fine hair twice, muttering, "Erlong, your scent is so lovely that I can't bear to let go."

Liu Erlong, both annoyed and amused, lightly patted his hand around her waist and feigned anger, "If you keep this up, the food will burn!"

Yu Tianyun finally released his grip reluctantly, grinning, "Alright, alright, I let go—just don't ruin our lunch."

Afterward, Yu Tianyun didn't idle; he helped set the bowls and chopsticks, glancing at Liu Erlong from time to time.

Soon, the dishes were placed on the table, and the two sat opposite each other. Yu Tianyun picked up a bite, ate it, and praised, "Erlong, your cooking keeps getting better."

Liu Erlong smiled faintly, her eyes filled with watery tenderness, "If you like it, have more."

Liu Erlong savored the present life; now she could never return to the gloomy days of the past.

Yu Tianyun not only gave her physical satisfaction but, more importantly, provided spiritual comfort, making her days no longer lonely.

Instead of yearning for an unattainable future, it's better to cherish this beautiful moment now.

Moreover, she felt already deeply immersed, unable to extricate herself; now life seemed radiant and colorful, and she only wanted to live for herself in the future.

At this moment, the two were immersed in the warm atmosphere, intoxicated by the fleeting peace and beauty.

……

Yu Tianyun, of course, didn't forget the main business; after the meal, he playfully led Liu Erlong toward the villa.

Liu Erlong and Yu Tianyun, one after the other, appeared before the group of women.

Seeing the two strolling in, the women felt a hint of surprise and awe.

Yu Tianyun wore a sleek black outfit, tall and upright, heroic and distinguished, his stern face revealing resolve; his posture and steady gaze made onlookers can't help but stare.

Liu Erlong, in contrast, wore a flowing fire‑red palace gown, her figure graceful and elegant, her face beautiful and captivating, exuding a mature, seductive charm.

The two walked side by side, like a pair of perfectly matched companions, complementing each other beautifully.

If the women didn't know Yu Tianyun and Liu Erlong were relatives, they might have guessed the truth.

Yu Tianyun took out six pieces of ten‑thousand‑year whale glue and handed them to Liu Erlong, saying, "It's up to you."

"Mm!"

Liu Erlong bowed her head slightly, and Yu's hand took the six pieces of whale glue; Yu Tianyun had already explained how to process the glue.

She unleashed her golden‑red flame power to envelop the six pieces, and under the scorching blaze they gradually changed.

"Huh, it's still pretty hard," Liu Erlong noted that the glue was tougher than she expected; after sustaining the flame, it began to melt slowly, not instantly.

Gradually, a strange fragrance drifted from the glue, strong yet lingering, hovering within about a one‑meter radius around Liu Erlong's jade‑like hand.

The deep‑yellow glue slowly changed color, a faint golden glow emanating from within, turning it into an odd dark‑gold hue; as the heat intensified, it became a soft, gelatinous substance.

"Smells so good! Tianyun, how do we eat this?" Liu Erlong furrowed her brows, her cute face full of puzzlement, her beautiful eyes looking at Yu Tianyun.

"While it's hot, just break it into small pieces and eat them, though they might be a bit scorching," Yu Tianyun quickly explained.

"Mm." Then Liu Erlong followed Yu Tianyun's instructions, cutting the glue into equal small pieces.

"Come, everyone, have a taste," Yu Tianyun smiled, inviting the women.

The women each took a piece, carefully placing the glue into their mouths.

"It smells nice, but it tastes so fishy," Duguyan frowned slightly, her words full of disdain.

"Exactly!" Ning Rongrong and several other women nodded in agreement.

But soon, the comforting warmth that followed replaced the displeasure, their faces showing surprise; some eagerly chewed, eyes full of anticipation.

Yu Tianyun smiled, "Now do you feel the heat flowing through your limbs and bones? Then finish the rest quickly, keep your mind steady, circulate soul power to absorb the medicine, and I'll protect you."

The women, hearing this, all nodded, swallowing the remaining glue piece by piece, then sitting cross‑legged on the floor to circulate soul power. As time passed, beads of sweat began to form on their bodies, their collars grew damp, and they eventually looked as if they'd been rained upon.

Since the women hadn't trained today and were dressed lightly, the room instantly filled with boundless springlight.

Yu Tianyun sat nearby, feeling content as he admired the beautiful scene.

But gradually he sensed something amiss: the women's bodies turned increasingly red, even their fragrant sweat took on a faint reddish‑brown hue, quickly staining their light clothing a dark red.

Seeing their condition, Yu Tianyun was merely curious, not worried at all; although he hadn't eaten ten‑thousand‑year whale glue himself, he could clearly sense the women's physical state.

Though reddish‑brown sweat leaked, the women's qi and blood were several times more vigorous than usual.

However, after a while, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, two junior assistants, suddenly changed; their eyes turned red, their bodies trembled slightly, appearing as if they might collapse at any moment.

Yu Tianyun had never encountered this situation before; he hurriedly supported the two girls, wanting to let them sit steady, but discovered their bodies were astonishingly hot.

What's going on? Overdosed?

Yu Tianyun frowned slightly; he wasn't an ice-attributed Soul Master, so for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Helpless, Yu Tianyun had no choice but to hold the two girls and place them in the swimming pool.

Indeed, his large villa, at his request, had a large swimming pool specially built; although cultivation is important, timely relaxation is also necessary.

He gently placed the two girls on a shallow-water platform in the pool to avoid choking on water, because at this moment Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong had completely lost consciousness.

Afterward, Yu Tianyun returned indoors; the reactions of the remaining four girls were not as intense as Ye Lingling's and Ning Rongrong's, but their bodies were also scorching hot.

Yu Tianyun decided to also hold them in the pool to cool down; he embraced Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhu Yun with both arms and began to carry them out.

Finally, as he again held Liu Erlong and Duguyan and came to the pool, he saw Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong tearing at their own clothes, and the dark‑red fragrant sweat instantly caused the surrounding water surface to ripple with layers of red.

Yu Tianyun quickly set Liu Erlong and Duguyan to sit in the pool, then hurried over to the two little assistants.

But before he could act, the two little assistants, as if drawn to him, suddenly lunged forward.

The two little assistants wrapped their legs around Yu Tianyun's waist, their arms tightly clasped his neck, and their bodies kept writhing.

"Does whale glue work on women too?" This situation truly surprised Yu Tianyun; he had previously thought whale glue only had side effects on men. After all, he had never heard of a woman buying whale glue.

At this moment, Yu Tianyun felt the sensation from the two scorching delicate bodies on him, and the evil fire within him also rose unbidden.

He looked at Ye Lingling's tightly knotted brows and her painful expression, sighed in his heart: "Lingling, I hope you won't blame me afterward!"

Afterward, Yu Tianyun could no longer restrain himself and went along with the two little assistants' wishes.

But as soon as he began to act here, it was like lighting a fuse, instantly drawing the attention of the other four girls.

Seeing the scene's sensual sight, the four girls' eyes turned red, like she‑beasts choosing prey, seemingly losing reason as they fiercely lunged over here, competing with the two little assistants for this rare "delicacy".

Seeing such fierce women, Yu Tianyun involuntarily trembled deep inside, and the restless qi and blood within him calmed somewhat in an instant.

……

From the clear skies of daytime turning into the speckled stars of night, then from the moon high in the sky, again interspersed with the sunrise glow! As a pale white light like a fish belly slowly rose on the horizon, Yu Tianyun's face turned pallid, his steps unsteady as he leaned against the wall, he walked out of a room exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained, his whole body collapsed onto the sofa in an instant, motionless, like a sculpture devoid of life.

"Young master, are you all right? Or shall I, the maid, relieve your fire?" Xiao Yue blinked her lively eyes, a mischievous smile on her face as she approached.

Speaking, her jade hand reached out, but was immediately seized by a large hand.

Yu Tianyun slightly turned his head, glanced weakly at Xiao Yue, and said, "Don't mess around, let me rest a bit; otherwise, once I recover, you'll regret it."

Xiao Yue giggled twice, saying in a sweet voice, "Then young master, please rest well; I, the maid, will go prepare some breakfast for you and the several young ladies." Having said that, Xiao Yue left with light steps.

Yu Tianyun lay on the sofa, closed his eyes to cultivate his spirit.

Since his body fully matured, this was the first time he had suffered such a defeat.

He never expected the medicinal power of the ten‑thousand‑year whale glue to be this strong, able to boost the girls' combat power while completely draining his body.

Finally, only with the help of the three maids were the girls carried back to their rooms.

The effect of the ten‑thousand‑year whale glue is indeed powerful; under Yu Tianyun's meticulous perception, he clearly noticed a great enhancement in the girls' physiques.

For example, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong—their fourth soul ring can be chosen from around six thousand to seven thousand years.

And Zhu Zhu Yun's fifth soul ring can likely be chosen from around fourteen thousand to fifteen thousand years.

However, the whale glue's enhancement for Duguyan and Liu Erlong is not that great, since they already have strong physiques and their cultivation exceeds the other four girls by quite a bit, so the increase of a few thousand years in absorbable soul‑ring years from the ten‑thousand‑year whale glue has little effect on them.

Perhaps a hundred‑thousand‑year whale glue would have a much more noticeable effect on them.

However, obtaining a hundred‑thousand‑year whale glue is extremely difficult; the only hundred‑thousand‑year whale‑type soul beasts known to Yu Tianyun are the Evil Devil Tiger Whale King and the Deep Sea Devil Whale King couple.

Moreover, the Deep Sea Devil Whale King couple have cultivations exceeding a hundred thousand years, among whom the Deep Sea Devil Whale King himself has reached a terrifying nine hundred ninety thousand years.

Yu Tianyun currently has no chance of obtaining their whale glue.

However, Yu Tianyun has long planned that his ninth soul ring's target is the Deep Sea Devil Whale King.

The Deep Sea Devil Whale King possesses water and lightning dual attributes, and is only one step away from transforming into a dragon; this indicates that it also has dragon blood in its body! Therefore, its soul ring is ideally suited as Yu Tianyun's ninth soul ring.

When the time comes, after harvesting his soul ring, although its whale glue will have little effect on Yu Tianyun then, it can be given to his women to consume, absolutely greatly enhancing their physiques.

But thinking of this, Yu Tianyun's legs went weak again; if the ten‑thousand‑year whale glue's side effects are this strong, just how terrifying would the Deep Sea Devil Whale King's whale glue be? He fears he might not even have the strength to lean against a wall then!

"Looks like next time I should first condense a qi‑blood soul core; the lightning‑attribute soul core can be postponed."

Yu Tianyun secretly resolved that he must further strengthen his own qi and blood, otherwise he might not be able to lift his head in this household.
