8 Ch08 - The next stage

For the last 2 weeks, Yue Yang had made a small change in his schedule.

He knew that he was getting close to getting innate qi, and he knew it would generate a massive pillar of light. He had wondered what would happen if he was in an Instant Dungeon at that time. Would it hide it? Or would the ID be broken? Since he usually cultivated in the morning, if the pillar broke the ID, then everyone would see the pillar and he wouldn't be able to hide. In fact, fictional Yue Yang was lucky noone of the night-lifers looked in the direction of their house during that event.

He decided to cultivate during the night and sleep in the morning. He used the Celestial Step to rush at the entrance of the forest, entered his empty ID and cultivated. It was 2 days before Yue Bing's departure that it happened.

Yue Yang reached level 10 in his Earth and Heaven cultivation technique, connecting all 12 of his energy channels together. His body improved itself again, filled with boundless energy. His copper grimoire flashed brightly, and the space of his Empty ID cracked as a massive golden pillar of light shone down from the sky. The heavenly sound he heard when he contracted his grimoire resounded once more, and he felt the energy that filled his body being sucked away by a mysterious being in his body. A lound sound echoed in his head; he felt like he saw the illusion of a shining golden phoenix descend upon the ground as he fainted.

His ID couldn't conceal his achievment, but coupled with his inherent skill, it was good enough to hide his location. As he slept, the Emperor of Da Xia was made aware of the existence of a young innate, but with no hints as to where it happened, there was nothing he would be able to do. The search area would be just too large.

When Yue Yang woke up, he had several unread notifications.

[Earth and Heaven Cultivation technique has reached level 10.

+10 to constitution and spirit.]

[Earth and Heaven Cultivation has been mastered.

+5 to constitution and spirit every level.]

[The Instant Dungeon has been breached]

[You have achieved the first step to enter the Innate Realm. +25 to all attributes, +20 000 credits, +1 Body Refining Oil bottle.]

[Fire affinity unlocked. Fire affinity 75%. +3 fire essence stones]

"Well... That was definitly something..."

As he looked around, he was mesmerised by the sight. It was the first time he saw cracks in space. In mangas and animes they made it look like glass, but in reality, they looked more like sharp distorsions. And they weren't fixed, they waved, and the points where they crossed, they vibrated. Some of them allowed him to see outside his ID, and he wondered what it looked like from the other side.

"Haaa... I guess there are things you just can't avoid. I bet the old geezers in the palace are going nuts."

He checked his gains again, and satisfied, rushed back to the house. He spent some brotherly time with Shuang, then some quality time with Bing. He didn't go dungeoning after separating from Bing, he decided to take it easy for the rest of the day. He was in advance compared to fictional Yue Yang after all. He though about what he experienced during his breakthrough, the vision of the phoenix, and his sudden affinity for fire. He remembered that fictional Yue Yang had been protected by phoenix sisters. He suspected they were bound within him, that his breakthrough awakened them, and they were the reason for his sudden high affinity with fire.

The following day he got back to his previous schedule, except he didn't need to actively use the Earth and Heaven cultivation technique. It had become a passive technique, constantly giving him benefits. He was able to focus on the Mountain Tiger Body technique, and in the same morning, finally reached level 9. The last step would involve improving the senses to be on par with that of a tiger.

It was also Bing's final day at White Stone City.

The next day she would go back to the capital to take the academy test. During the 5 weeks she spent home, she had become very close to her cousin, to the point that she wouldn't mind becoming his woman. Though she wasn't ready to act on her feelings, her imminent separation from him made her want to do something bold with him. At least bolder than usual. After all, she wouldn't see him for a while after that, she wanted to make a good memory before their next meeting. She got an idea and made preparations.

At the end of their usual training session, she told him about her coming departure. She said that she had some things to prepare, so she separated from him without receiving her usual massage, and promised to see him after diner.

That afternoon, he opened his ID for the first time since his breakthrough.

[The skill Instant Dungeon has reached level 15. Dungeon Stages unlocked.]

[Would you like to enter the Ghost Town Stage 1 or the Ghost Town Stage 2?]

Yue Yang was stunned. Looking for informations, he discovered that the level of the enemies in the dungeons were limited. The higher stages provided higher level enemies. He wouldn't have to farm thousands of small fries to gain a level. On the other hand, if the enemies leveled up with him, he wouldn't be able to bring weak people with him to make them gain fighting experience. Even though he had no intention of revealing his Gamer System to anyone, he still wanted his friends and allies to get some benefits, like dungeonning. With the differents stages, he could put them against enemies of approriate level.

Of course, he choose to enter the stage 2 of each instance. The level cap for enemies was 20, which suited him just fine, but there was no increase of quantity or quality with the loot. He was able to gain 2 levels in a day compared to the 3 he got in 2 weeks, and 1 level in the skills he used during battle. He was very gratefull for the stage function.

The biggest reward of the day was from the Treasure Chest: the complete Yue Clan Spear Technique. At full power, the Yue Clan Spear technique was innate rank. The technique most advanced moves were lost with time, leaving only mid-to-high mortal ranked ones.

Yue Yang couldn't help but dance a liitle jig when he saw it. At the new year competition in the Yue Clan Castle, he was going to show them the full might of a technique they can't fully learn without him. With that and his interest in Yue Gong's legacy, he though that maybe he should take control of the clan in the future. Since he was going to use the 2 most prized elements from that clan, he might as well take the whole thing.

That evening he was in a good mood. And his evening only got better after dinner. He was in his room waiting for Bing. She had told him she would visit him in his room, and he was looking forward to what she had planned.

She came some time later, and when she entered the room, his heartbeat rose and his member twitched in excitement. She was wearing a long robe, but it wasn't completly fastened. He could tell that bellow, she was just wearing a sleeveless short dress, with no bra. That was quite the seductive apparel for a good girl like her, and judging by the light blush she was sporting, she was likely aware of that.

"You've come. I was looking forward to your visit very much."

"Of course! It will be our last time together until god knows when. I wanted to do something nice for you until then" she said with her blush slightly deepening.

She didn't come empty handed, she was carrying a large folded cloth and a bottle.

"Since you've been taking care of me everyday, for once I will be the one to take care of you. I'm going to give you the best massage you've ever had!"

"It will be a pleasure to receive a massage from my beautiful cousin. I will be in your care."

She might be boasting a bit, but she wasn't lying. Both in his previous life and current life he never got any massage. Also, she might be used to his compliments, but it was always nice to hear. He was sincere with them after all. She went to his bed, removed the top sheet, skillfully folded it and put it to the side. She unfolded the cloth she had, which was a large towel, and placed it on the bed.

"Take of your shirt and lie down there. I bought some massage oil just for you, Yang-ge."

Yue Yang smiled and started to undress. He didn't stop at his shirt though, he also took of his pants, leaving only his underpants. And they weren't the old fashioned ones used by the people of that world. They were modern ones made with local material, courtesy of the Shop. Bing blushed redder than a tomato.

"What are you doing?" she whispered sharply, having successfuly refrained from shouting and bringing uneeded attention to their activities "I said your shirt, there was no need to remove the bottom!"

"But, Bing-er, you can't massage my legs with my pants on. It wouldn't be a proper massage if you ignored my tired legs that supported me all day" he said while pouting, but his eyes were glowing with mischief.

He laid on his belly, on the towel, and put his head on his pillow, looking at his cousin. Bing had regained her composure temporary, long enough to take off her robe, before blushing up a storm again. The short dress she was wearing was light and likely to turn transparent with water. She wasn't wearing anything to restrain her breasts, and he could see her nipples peaking through the fabric. It was obvious to him that the situation was arousing her. The dress stopped mid-tight, and he could tell from the small bumps on her hips that she wore side-tie panties.

She climbed on the bed and straddled his waist. She spread the oil on his back and proceeded with the massage. She had learned a few tricks from all the massages she received, and she really wanted to pleasehim so she applied herself. The low moans and grunts that escaped from him from time to time told her she was doing well.

"Looks like someone is enjoying himself" she teased, as for once she wasn't the one making embarrassing sounds.

"Yeah... You're good" he admitted with minimal embarrassement.

He wasn't only enjoying her hands. He also liked the feel of her butt and groin on himself, and he sported a semi-boner.

Once she got done with his back, she told him to turn around so she could take care of his front. Since she had finished the back with the feet, she started there for the front, and slowly moved up. When she reached his tights, she noticed the slight tent on his boxers and developped an atomic blush. She tried her best to act as if nothing happened, trying to ignore it, but every now and then her gaze would fall on it.

When she reached his upper torso, her waist was above his own, and she brushed his covered semi-boner with her panties covered wet flower. A shiver of pleasure went trought both of them, and his tent grew to poke her right there. They both leaked small groans of both pleasure and frustration, as they stayed locked in place, breathing deeply.

It was such an unreal feeling for Bing to have her most private part in contact with her cousin's manhood, even if through clothes. She had never been this excited and aroused before. She knew they were crossing a line, but she couldn't stop herself. Her arousal and curiosity got the better of her, and she didn't remove herself. Yang was no better, and he took action. He placed his hands on her hips to keep her in place, and started to grind himself against her.

Even though she was startled, she didn't stop him, moving in rythm with him. The massage she was giving his chest turned into caresses. His hands roamed on her tights and belly, as they pleasured themselves. He fliped her over and kissed her. Her arms went around his neck as she responded in kind. It was a lustfull and passionate kiss, and they continued while grinding themselves against each other, their groins wet with precum and flower nectar. At some point, she warped her legs around him hard, and both of them reached their limits. They held tight onto each other while their groins throbbed with their respective discharges. They stayed in each other arms for several minutes before they realised what they did.

"Ah... I guess we got carried away..." he said, trying to keep the mood light.

Bing was mortified by her lack of control, and wouldn't dare to look at her cousin. She felt both great and terrible, doing something that should be reserved for her husband with him. Still keeping her eyes away from him, she slowly disengaged herself from him, and he let her. Looking at her, Yang got worried she would distance herself from him in the future.

"You know, I never hid the fact that I found you attractive. Also, I wasn't merely joking when I said that I wouldn't mind keeping you for myself. You're going back to the capital, you're going to have some time to think. But remember, I don't regret doing anything with you, there will always be a place for you in my heart and by my side. Always."

Having her him, she nodded, redressed herself and left swiftly.
