Fiery Connection *

"You're inexhaustible," Ling Lian rolled her eyes at Xu Qi but never really stopped him.

As his warm hands started untying her sash, she started doing the same to him, her nimble fingers working with surprising efficiency despite her weariness.

Before long, the training hall became the witness to their passionate embrace. Ling Lian's eyes searched Xu Qi's, seeking assurance that this was the right choice. And in his eyes, she found the answer. Desire, affection, and their unspoken promise of a bond that transcended mere cultivation.

Without moving from their position, Xu Qi guided her hips to align with his, putting her on a straddle. Gradually, as the fabric of their robes slipped away, their skin met with a sizzle, the fire of their passion igniting like the flames he could control by his whispers.

Xu Qi kissed Ling Lian in a fiery passion and she answered with the same intensity, not wanting to lose one bit.

Slowly, their undergarments also gradually slipped away. They dropped to the side as they enjoyed the heat of each other.

Xu Qi didn't miss the opportunity to whisper sweet nothings to her ear and with Celestial Eloquence at this grasp, he simulated both of their qi, igniting more of their desire.

Appearing like flames that danced on their skin, the primal elements provided them the replenishment of energy for what was to come.

He knew that this wasn't just a simple act of intimacy but also a form of cultivation for both of them which could further deepen their bond. Words were unneeded as they could feel it growing stronger with every touch, every whisper, and every intimate exchange.

With his hands on her butt, Xu Qi lifted Ling Lian gently, his cock standing ready to claim her.

Ling Lian wholeheartedly accepted him as she welcomed him deep inside her, sliding smoothly into her depths. As she wrapped her legs tightly around him, Xu Qi stood up, carrying her to the nearby resting bay that they laid out when they wanted to lie down and recover.

The candles within the training hall cast a warm glow over the room as they flickered with the residual energy of their spar, setting the romantic scene for this night of passion.

"Hey… Aren't we going to eat and rest together?" Ling Lian asked with a teasing smile as the two of them settled back down. Without changing their positions wherein Ling Lian started swaying her hips on Xu Qi's lap, his whispers grew more sensual with both of his hands tracing a fiery path across her unblemished skin. He could feel her tightness and her eagerness to squeeze him. To unite once again and feel the peak of pleasure.

"Mhm… After this, I'll cook for you tonight. I can't have you weakened for tomorrow's test, can I?" Xu Qi promised between kisses, his voice becoming a gentle caress for the young woman's heart.

The flame grew brighter and wrapped around them as he began to guide her hips to start their sensual dance. Xu Qi's length throbbed at each stroke. The heat between them grew hotter than the room itself as the moist mixture of their union spilled down to the sheets, evidence of their growing passion.

His hips then started moving alongside the rhythm of Ling Lian's breath, each thrust sending a rush of heat through her sacred place that mirrored the fire that danced in the air around them.

Ling Lian tightened around him, her legs clutching him closer as her walls contracted in a silent plea for more. She buried her face on his shoulder as her arms clenched around his nape as though telling him not to let go of her.

Xu Qi answered with fiery kisses that trailed across her neck and the twin peaks that bounced at each movement of their bodies.

As their qi triggered more phenomena around them, their passion drove them more fervently as Xu Qi's words to the primal elements painted a fiery picture of their desire that danced in the air.

The flames grew more intense and swirling around them, feeding off from their shared ecstasy.

Xu Qi whispered closely as he sucked on her at the same time as he teased Ling Lian's most sensitive spots, making her tremble and cry out his name.

Her eyes, once filled with surprise, were now pools of molten gold, reflecting the pleasure building up within her body.

Soon, Ling Lian approached her peak as she bounced from on top of him, eagerly sliding his length in and out of her. And with one last push down, her eyes rolled back in her head as Xu Qi whispered sweet incantations into her ear.

Her legs tightened even further around him while her heels dug into his back, urging him on as she climbed the peak of pleasure.

"Xu Qi!~" Ling Lian's whole body quivered from the intense pleasure. Her voice became a cry that spread throughout the training hall's immediate vicinity. Making those who heard it tilt their head in confusion or blush at how erotic she sounded.

Xu Qi's own body responded to Ling Lian's passionate cries. As he didn't want her to be alone, he timed his own climax by holding it back as much as possible.

The fire within him grew hotter with each thrust. The melding of their yin and yang, the intertwining of their qi, was a powerful aphrodisiac that neither could resist.

And as if on cue, at the same time Ling Lian's orgasm hit, Xu Qi could feel her warmth enveloping him. Her affection and support mixed with his own fiery essence as he also reached his limit. With a final, powerful thrust, Xu Qi released his seed, his whispers of passion resonating through Ling Lian's body.

They both eagerly pushed at each other as though pulling out was something they didn't want to do and as they both trembled at the height of pleasure, their lips met for one last passionate dance, carrying all their intentions.

As they both collapsed at each other weakened slightly from how strongly they did, they both gasped for their breaths as they glanced down at the sheet beneath them.

Somehow, it caught fire and disappeared into ashes, making both of them embarrassed.

Xu Qi's Celestial Eloquence and Ling Lian's rampaging qi could probably create a disaster in the near future.

They looked into each other's eyes and laughed, a silent communication that said, 'Let's hold back next time.'.

After a while, Xu Qi kissed her lips and forehead before guiding her up and sliding out of her warmth. Ling Lian blushed as she watched their connection creating a thin string.

She couldn't believe it. They did it again. And this time. It wasn't because of a bet that she couldn't take back.

She understood her feelings now. For her, Xu Qi had become irreplaceable. That's why… her eagerness to strive for her cultivation wasn't just to prevent him from catching up. It was also to continue walking alongside him.

Likewise, a similar thought played in Xu Qi's head. He knew he would be entangled with more women in the future but Ling Lian had already become someone who he'd care about for days or years to come.

"Stay here... I'll bring you dinner," Xu Qi whispered as he stood up but not before caressing her head and cheek.

His touch had always been gentle yet firm. A paradox that never ceased to amaze Ling Lian.

She watched as he put on his robe and walked out of this little corner of the training hall, his silhouette framed by the flickering candlelight.

Her thoughts drifted to the impending Test of Competence. With Xu Qi by her side, she felt a strange sense of confidence that she had never felt before. His words were not just whispers of comfort anymore. It was more than that.

She looked down at the pearl between her legs and saw the fading traces of his fire that mixed with her own. It was as if he had left a part of himself within her, fueling her spirit for the battles to come.

When Xu Qi returned an hour later, he had made sure of his promise. A meal cooked by him for the two of them.

He was used to cooking his meal on Earth so it wasn't that hard for him as long as he had the ingredients. And he found it ordinary. However, for Ling Lian, the meal was heavenly.

He had conjured a feast of roast duck, steamed vegetables, and a warm soup that smelled of a blend of herbs she couldn't name.

They sat cross-legged on the floor, sharing the food from a single large platter. Each bite was a silent declaration of their shared victory from the day's training.

"Will Senior Sister Xiao Yue also get the same treatment,?" Ling Liang teased after swallowing a mouthful of food, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

Xu Qi chuckled, taking a sip of the herbal tea that accompanied the meal. "Everyone has their own path and their own rewards. But I'm always happy to share my whispers with those who are truly dedicated to their craft."

"You just dodged my question!" Ling Lian playfully feigned a pout, her cheeks still flushed from their earlier intimacy. She understood what he was trying to say, of course.

"Well, you know me... But don't worry. Whatever happens, I will keep returning to my lovely Sister Ling Lian's embrace. I don't think I can latch off of your leg anymore." Xu Qi winked at her, and she couldn't help but laugh, throwing a napkin at him playfully. They ate in comfortable silence, their bond growing stronger with every shared moment.

Tomorrow. The Test of Competence awaits.
