Path to Dual Cultivation

Chapter 25: Meeting Xue Zhen

"This disciple greets Master." Su Yang appeared before Senior Wu after being called. He had just finished morning training with Huang Xiaoyun and came out of the bathroom when he encountered Senior Wu.

"We have a guest. She is the Sect Leader of the Eternal Devotion Valley–an expert in Yang bodies. You'll be wearing your mask when you meet with her," said Senior Wu.

"Wouldn't it be rude to meet another Sect Leader with my face covered?" Su Yang asked.

"This is a special occasion. The Eternal Devotion Valley is an unorthodox place, and your Yang body is very valuable to them, so I want some insurance just in case. Even though we're seeking her help, it doesn't mean she wouldn't have any ulterior motives." Senior Wu said, continuing, "Remember, the cultivation world is competitive in nature where even your friends could backstab you. Most people only act when they benefit from it–myself included."

After all, he accepted Su Yang as his disciple and exerted so much effort solely because Su Yang's existence would greatly benefit his own status and the Fleeting Sword Sect's position in the future.

Unless one was a saint, they wouldn't go out of their way to help another individual without any strings attached.

"I understand..." Su Yang nodded.

He returned to his room and wore the mask.

"Let me upgrade your mask a little." Senior Wu said as he infused some of his Profound Qi into the mask.

"Unless someone has a higher cultivation than me, they won't be able to see through your mask even with spiritual sense."

"Thank you, Master."

"Also, eat this pill and think of having a badly burned face." Senior Wu handed him a round pill the next moment.

"What is this?" he inquired.

"It's an Appearance Reforming Pill that will alter your face to reflect your imagination. It's another layer of insurance."

Su Yang nodded and consumed the pill without hesitation. Underneath his mask, his face began changing rapidly, covering his handsome face with heart-wrenching burn marks.

Senior Wu returned to Han Jianzhi and Xue Zhen's side sometime later with Su Yang following behind.

'A mask?' Xue Zhen raised an eyebrow after seeing Su Yang's appearance. She immediately tried to peek at Su Yang's face through the mask using her spiritual sense, but her cultivation was inferior to that of Senior Wu's cultivation, rendering her efforts futile.

When Su Yang beheld Xue Zhen's captivating appearance, his eyes widened with astonishment. Throughout his life, Xue Zhen would undoubtedly rank as the most beautiful woman he had ever encountered. Yet, strangely, he did not experience the same surge of excitement as he had when he first laid eyes on the General.

With that being said, it wasn't as though Su Yang felt nothing. He experienced a sense of excitement, albeit a perplexing one that eluded his understanding—a sensation that enveloped his entire body in a warm embrace, especially the lower area between his legs.

"Greet your Senior, Disciple." Senior Wu suddenly said, snapping Su Yang out of his daze.

Su Yang stepped forward and bowed to Xue Zhen in a manner brimming with respect.

"I apologize for greeting you in such a fashion," he began earnestly.

"My face was badly burned when I was young, and I am too ashamed to show it."

"..."

Xue Zhen did not immediately respond and stared directly into Su Yang's clear eyes, thinking to herself, 'What beautiful eyes... he definitely had a very handsome face before the incident. What a pity.'

However, even after learning of his incident, it did not deter Xue Zhen from her goal of recruiting him.

'Even if his entire body is burned, as long as he can cultivate, his value within our Sect will remain priceless!'

The following moment, Xue Zhen stepped forward, approaching Su Yang with a gentle smile on her face.

Once close enough, she reached for his hand, embracing it directly with her large and soft bosoms.

Su Yang's eyes widened with shock as he watched his entire hand sink in between Xue Zhen's soft breasts. He instinctively pulled back, but it was a futile attempt before Xue Zhen's unexpected strength kept him restrained.

Seeing this, Senior Wu and Han Jianzhi reacted simultaneously.

"What are you doing, Sect Leader Xue?!"

"Sect Leader Xue!"

"Calm down, this is how I examine his Yang body," she calmly said to them.

"E-even if you say that..." Han Jianzhi muttered in a dazed voice, subconsciously feeling a little envious of Su Yang's position right now.

Even Senior Wu couldn't help but imagine himself in Su Yang's shoes, a thought he quickly tossed away.

The entire place fell into a profound silence, with the only audible sound being the loud thumping of their hearts.

Su Yang could feel his hand quickly growing sweaty, but Xue Zhen didn't seem to mind, even thrusting his hand deeper into the crack between her breasts.

She stared into Su Yang's eyes with slightly narrowed eyes, almost as though she was trying to tell him something.

However, her eyes suddenly widened with shock, and she recoiled, causing her to stumble and fall onto her buttocks.

Su Yang's entire being shuddered when he saw how Xue Zhen's breasts jiggled during her fall.

But before he could even think of anything else, Xue Zhen pointed at him with an unstable hand, shouting in a terrified voice, "B-Boundless Yang Constitution! He has the Boundless Yang Constitution!"

"Boundless Yang Constitution? What is that?" Senior Wu and Han Jianzhi asked simultaneously, their curiosity piqued, as they had never heard of such a Heavenly Constitution before.

With her buttocks still rooted to the floor, Xue Zhen spoke in a dazed voice, her words reverberating with awe.

"A body with imperishable, boundless Yang Qi—the pinnacle of all that is related to Yang Qi! Even the Divine Yang Body and the Solar Yang Constitution pale in comparison!"

"T-the pinnacle of that is related to Yang Qi...?" Senior Wu and Han Jianzhi exchanged wide-eyed stares, their hearts thundering with profound astonishment. How could a single individual possess such staggering talent? Even if it were a jest concocted by the Heavens, it was a humorless one that would only invoke envy from others.
