Yang Clan’s Yan Sanniang III

Yan Sanniang was now sitting on Alucard's lap.

Her heartbeat was faster than ever before, never in her hundreds of years of life had she been in so close proximity with a man and in such an intimate way as well…

Alucard didn't even move when the cups started floating as he served the tea under her eyes that were opened wide.

She couldn't feel him using any type of energy, yet those cups were moving on their own…

The filled bamboo cup travelled through the air until it reached her and she took it softly.

"How do you do it? I have never seen anything like this… Could it be that you're using a completely different energy system?" She asked with curiosity.

The implications were outrageous, but that was the only thing she could imagine.

"It is one of my powers." He answered simply, not giving many details as his arms still caressed her belly.

He was in the lotus position and she was just sitting on his crotch now, his pants and her robe, impeding much of the desired contact.

"D-Do you want me to teach you, how to cultivate?" She suddenly asked, not believing she was suggesting to teach someone in the Karma Fire Realm… How to cultivate.

Something that even Houtian realm practitioners knew even before starting.

"… That would be helpful."

"Okay, I need to set up a barrier first, c-could you release me?" She asked with some embarrassment.

Alucard sighed and released her body as she stood up from his crotch, wincing at the separation, but still, she needed to set up a barrier…

"Why do you need a barrier?" He asked with genuine curiosity.

Yan Sanniang started making signs in the air and rotated her cultivation, "Your aura suggests that you're about to break through to the Sunflower Water Realm… At that moment a tribulation will descend from the heavens and struck you with the intent of killing… This event draws a lot of attention. The attention that we don't want."

<Trigram Jade Sphere!>

*RUMBLE!*

She continued as an array formed and covered around thirty kilometres of land, forming a blue celestial barrier around.

"Although your control over your cultivation is close to none, we cannot diminish the possibility of a tribulation trial happening here. It's ready" She said finally.

"How efficient is this barrier?" Alucard could sense where the barrier ended and it gave his existence a very weird and unique feeling.

He was inside and outside the barrier at the same time…

"It should hide fluctuations from Great Purity Divine Thunder experts, we don't have to worry as we're very far from Xingjian and the Kunlun Mountains now. Do you want to start?"

"Before we start, tell me why are you helping me…" He wanted to know her intentions, given her background, the two of them should be fighting to death here, very far from what was happening.

"Is there a point to ask? You attract me… As long as you don't pose a threat to the Yang Clan. I don't mind being in a friendly relationship with you…"

"Yang Clan…" So far he had no enmity with the Yang Clan, and his only contact inside was the young fellow Yang Lie through Sheng Mingluo and Reng Shuang.

"What about your master… I'm not fond of sharing, maybe one day you will wake up and he won't be there anymore… I don't leave corpses~" His eyes turned red with viciousness.

"My master and I don't have such a relationship… Neither will you and me… We can be… D-Dual Cultivation partners at most…" She suddenly said with, embarrassment?

"Dual Cultivation?" He tried to look for the term in the memories he had inherited, but unexpectedly those three old fools didn't have much knowledge of it…

'Dual Cultivation is a heretic act our ancestors used to engage in…' that's about everything they had.

"I will explain that to you later… For now, sit down here." She made some signals for him to sit in front of her and he did.

Alucard, who was still in his tuxedo, felt weird engaging in this kind of discipline. After all, he believed that monsters needed to use only their instincts and whenever he fought he did it not as human, but as a creature from hell.

Yet, there was nothing in this scenery that depicted 'creature from hell'.

"First off, you must understand this…" Moving her hand, a symbol started appearing in front of her until it materialised.

Upon staring at the object, Alucard frowned, "Infinity?"

It was the infinity symbol.

Sanniang nodded slightly, "One thing is to know, the other to comprehend… I want you to comprehend the implications of this symbol in energy fluctuation. And it's something you have to discover yourself, I can't help you in this…"

"How will you know if I comprehended it?"

"If you comprehend it, I will know straight away" she smiled softly and closed her eyes, awaiting his discovery.

…

Alucard just looked at the symbol floating in front of him in mock.

Even if he didn't know fully well what infinity was. Who could understand it more than him!?

His existence is based on infinity and nothingness…

Now, how could he apply the understanding he had of infinity, with nature energy?

…

It took only a few seconds, and then Sanniang felt it…

But what she felt was not what she was expecting… Usually, when comprehended, experts' bodies would start gathering energy subconsciously and this flux of energy would be noticed by any expert nearby.

Their pressure would also reduce due to gaining control over the mature energy inside their bodies.

But that's not what she felt…

What she felt frightened her!

*RUMBLE!!*

Within her senses, which covered a few kilometres and surely even beyond, all the natural energy started to get sucked as if by a black hole!

To the point, her own body stopped gathering energy because that energy was fleeing somewhere else!

The atmosphere felt heavy as if an enormous imaginary void was settling in space as a consequence of a gargantuan vacuum!

"STOP!!"

The barrier started to fluctuate, if she didn't stop him, the barrier would break! And this phenomenon would be felt by anyone outside!

She hurriedly shook his shoulders in exasperation only to see how her hands phased through his body!

"What!? Alucard you have to stop!"

But the count's eyes flickered between pink and red!

It was as if he touched an electric plug, he just couldn't stop charging!

'Master, regain yourself!' Alcina who hadn't spoken a single word noticed how her master seemed to have lost himself, and even from Zhonghai, she could feel a slight change in the atmosphere!

Alcina's words spoken directly to his soul managed to make Alucard regain himself as the vacuum stopped abruptly and the cracked barrier stopped fluttering like a leaf amidst a storm.

"Y-you! What are you!?" How could someone possibly produce such a phenomenon just by cultivating!? Even a God shouldn't be this ridiculous!

Without even answering Alucard just smiled wryly and looked up to the sky, his gaze followed by hers only to notice gigantic black clouds agglomerating!

"Tribulation Trial!" She exclaimed and looked at his current condition, he was perfectly fine.

"Listen, the heavens are going to throw everything at you to kill you… This tribulation is the Sunflower Water Tribulation. It is blue lightning-"

*FLASH!!*

She didn't even manage to finish when a barrage of red malicious lightning struck them!

*BAM!* Alucard pushed Yan Sanniang away as the latter flew like a meteor!

*BOOM!!*

He saw how she struck a nearby mountain and couldn't help but send her an apologetic message, however, he didn't have time as the red lightning struck him directly!

*BAAAAMMM!!!*

The moment the lightning struck him, it felt like the hottest fire was burning his body from the inside!

"Damn you!" Sanniang resurfaced from the debris with an outraged expression only to see how the lightning continuously struck Alucard!

"You are supposed to defend yourself you know!? Not take it head-on!" Is he looking for death!?

As a matter of fact, he is.

After several minutes the red lightning stopped with Alucard's body covered in smoke, however… He was alright… And the next second his body regenerated, as if nothing had happened, in front of Sanniang's stupefied eyes…

The heavens roared as another round of lightning formed above them, this one was way redder and the energy emanated was much more intense!

The cultivator could only look helplessly at how once again the count received the tribulation with his raw body… Not doing anything to him at all…

Another round of tribulations charged, this one was a bolt of golden yellow lightning, imposing, domineering.

But just as helpless as the last two…

By the end the most awaited blue lightning came forth only to retire ashamed after half an hour of the barrage, leaving the count's body intact in the middle of a big crater…

It was then that the clouds dispersed and Alucard's aura within her senses was now that of the Sunflower Water Realm.

"I was expecting more from this 'Tribulation Trial' but I have to admit, that this is the strongest lightning strike I have received… Not that I receive many." He smirked and floated towards the awestruck Yan Sanniang enveloping her in his arms.

She was still so shocked she didn't pay attention to this.

First: He manages to suck such a ridiculous amount of nature energy in his first time cultivating… Causing that ridiculous phenomenon, she hadn't ever seen.

Then: He summons a lightning tribulation as she had never seen before, receiving every single one of the preceding tribulations at once, for a time longer than anyone had ever received then.

Finally: He receives them with his own body without even defending himself and doesn't receive even a scratch…

Not even a tiny burn!

'Are you alright, Master? Well… That's a ridiculous question.' Alcina sent in dismissal.

'Alucard? What happened? I felt something weird coming from you just now.' Catherine also felt something and hurriedly contacted.

'Everything is alright Catherine. I'll be there in a few hours.'

'Oh… Okay, but you have to tell me what happened, I worry as well…'

Yan Sanniang who calmed a bit and was now conscious of their current position didn't struggle, instead, she hugged him lightly, "What are you Alucard? The things you have done today… If I hadn't set a barrier, let alone Hongmeng, you would have the whole Xingjian after you…"

Her barrier was barely holding at this point, she had no confidence that waves hadn't spread outside by now.

"I'm something quite special but, if you want to know more, I will tell you in our next 'tea session'~," He said as his hands resisted the urge to sneak down, his mouth lightly kissed her neck, slanting suppressed moans out of her, "Now, I'm more interested in knowing that 'Dual Cultivation' you mentioned previously…"

Sanniang's body squirmed slightly under his touch, aware of the fact that he wasn't touching any sensitive areas… "I can also tell you about that in our next 'tea session'…"

…

Their bodies flushed together as Sanniang's heart beat faster, it was then that she felt his hand grab her robe-covered butt with a good grip.

"Plump." He said earning a roll of her eyes.

"Unlike Yulan, you don't have a complex regarding your age. I like that about you, Sanniang."

"You dare mention other women besides me?! Hmph, why would I feel complex? I'm more than three hundred years old. If a handsome man like you dares to court me, shouldn't I feel my ego soaring instead?~ Still, don't think you will get me easily because of that." For the first time today, she smiled with a picaresque expression as her hands didn't grip his butt, but pushed their bodies together.

"Say that when I'm not feeling your body up."

"And that's as far as you're going today, bad boy..." She gave him a light kiss on the cheek and her body dematerialised the next second, reappearing behind him.

"I have to go… In our next tea session, you will tell me what you really are, Alucard. Don't stay here for too long, if anyone felt the waves, they will come here shortly." With a slight smile her body disappeared, leaving him alone in this beautiful grassland, he looked to the side and saw how her cultivation rotated into an array that fixed the land.

He could only smirk and disappear.

If there was something this new world didn't lack.

She was an interesting, graceful and beautiful woman.
