29. They Lose Themselves

Lin Ke'er bit her lip, leaning tightly against a nearby tree. Her smooth, fair legs pressed together.

[Ding, Lin Ke'er experiences confusion, emotion value +100]

Noticing something wrong, Huangpu Jing rushed over, "Lin Ke'er, what's happening to you?"

"I... I feel like..."

By this time, Lin Ke'er had lost track of herself and what she was saying, speaking only from instinct. Her eyes became unfocused, her voice soft and entrancing.

Huangpu Jing bit her tongue to regain clarity and asked, "Lin Ke'er, what do you feel? Just say it!"

"I'm... I'm so hot... It feels like I'm being boiled alive."

Lin Ke'er was desperate to cool down but couldn't find a way. "We've been tricked!" Huangpu Jing tried to stay clear-headed.

Damn it!

There really is no such thing as a free shortcut!

This wasn't a pill to enhance our strength!

Furious, she turned to Chen Xuan, "What you just gave us... that wasn't a cultivation pill, was it? It was... something else!"

As a genius of the Huangpu family, she wasn't completely clueless. She now understood what was happening.

Chen Xuan didn't deny it and nodded, "That's right, congratulations on figuring it out. So, as your reward, I'll treat you to something... special."

"?"

Huangpu Jing was confused. Special treat? What was that supposed to mean?

But at this point, she knew that both she and Lin Ke'er were trapped, like lambs awaiting the wolf. She could only ask, "Why?"

"You'll find out in due time."

"?????"

"I don't have time to waste with you two. So, tell me, will you handle it yourself, or do I need to help?"

Chen Xuan was growing impatient and coldly demanded an answer.

At the same time, he opened his system interface, entered the marketplace, and purchased two advanced techniques using over 1,000 emotional points.

One was a dual cultivation technique, and the other was a technique for absorbing Yin energy to strengthen his Yang energy.

His reasoning was simple: if you're going to slaughter the lamb, you might as well fatten it up first, right?

He quickly mastered both techniques.

Meanwhile, Huangpu Jing, frightened, suddenly remembered something.

She looked at Chen Xuan and suggested, "You like Sister Qingzhu, don't you? I could help put in a good word for you!"

Mentioning Qingzhu only made Chen Xuan more furious.

He had learned that during his seclusion, Huangpu Jing had repeatedly invited Qingzhu to the empire, and despite Qingzhu's refusals, Huangpu Jing had persisted.

Eventually, Qingzhu accepted the invitation and fell into a trap, indirectly causing Chen Xuan's humiliation.

Now, all his anger was directed at Huangpu Jing.

In his rage, Chen Xuan unleashed a powerful surge of energy.

A moment later, Huangpu Jing's clothes were torn away.

Huangpu Jing instinctively tried to cover herself, but a strong force pulled her toward Chen Xuan.

What was happening?

[Ding, Lin Ke'er experiences desire, emotion value +50]

[Ding, Huangpu Jing experiences shame, emotion value +50]

Shame? It's too early for that!

Chen Xuan sneered, his energy engulfing the area and forming a barrier.

Inside the barrier, the three of them embarked on an intense "discussion" about cultivation techniques.

After half a day, they finally reached a conclusion.

By then, Huangpu Jing had come to understand that Chen Xuan was a powerful Nirvana-level cultivator, one who could easily destroy the entire empire if he wanted to.

But what shocked her even more was that she had actually broken through from the Mid Qi Creation Realm to the Advanced stage! Similarly, Lin Ke'er had advanced from a low-level symbol master to a mid-level one, equivalent to a Qi Creation expert!

Despite everything, their strength had genuinely increased.

Both women exchanged confused looks.

Despite everything they had experienced, how had their power grown?

Was it possible that the "special pill" also had some benefits for strength enhancement?

If that was the case, they wouldn't mind taking a bit more to further improve!

[Ding, Lin Ke'er experiences anticipation, emotion value +50]

[Ding, Huangpu Jing experiences anticipation and joy, emotion value +100]

Anticipation? Joy?

It's far too early for that.

The cultivation technique Chen Xuan had just used was meant to boost their strength temporarily.

But next, he planned to use the technique to drain their power entirely, robbing them of all their hard-earned progress.

Then we'll see how happy they'll be.

With a sly smile, Chen Xuan tilted their chins up and said, "So, what do you think? Quite the unique cultivation method, isn't it?"

Blushing deeply, the two women were too embarrassed to answer.

"Since you liked it so much, why don't we keep 'cultivating'?"

Having tasted the benefits, the two women reluctantly agreed.

But Lin Ke'er soon sensed something was wrong.

She noticed that Huangpu Jing's aura was rapidly weakening, plummeting from the advanced Qi Creation Realm...
