Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 38: I Trust You



Chapter 38: I Trust You

When she was done, her body softened and basically was lying on him. With no help to support herself whatsoever. He did not mind and just supported her, making her feel peace and tranquility.

A profound light was flickering in her eyes, as she felt better than ever in her life.

Once she calmed down her breathing also was already stable, but she did not hurry to leave his embrace. They stood still like that in front of the window overseeing the hall down below, him holding her in his arms and supporting her. But, she was a prideful woman, and when she finally recovered enough to return closer to her usual emotional state, she finally stood up on her own, while he released his hold on her. The moment she left his arms, and stopped feeling his sturdy figure against her back she felt a profound sense of loss. There was a puzzled look in her eyes for some moments, before she took a few deep breaths and started fixing her appearance.

Wu Long went to the side and sat on one of the sofas. He watched her with a look no one could see through and guess emotions he was feeling or thoughts that he had. He watched as she walked towards the bathroom, and looked as she took off her tights and underwear that were now completely drenched. As she cleaned herself with a warm wet tower, and wore new underwear and tights, he took off his shoes, sat in a lotus position and started meditating. A few moments later, the Spiritual Qi in the room and Yin Qi that was released into the air started gathering towards him, as he cultivated.

While he cultivated Sui Luxiao completely fixed her appearance, washing up her face and applying new makeup. There was a confused look on her face as she looked in the mirror in her own eyes. She seemed a bit in a daze. contemporary romance

She specifically arranged for a sealing formation to be newly installed in her office to prevent Yin Qi from dissipating from the room just two days ago. This consideration was already speaking volumes about her opinion on this treatment.

As he finished cultivating, he sensed that he was just a step away from the 1st level of Qi Gathering Realm. As practitioners broke through, it did not mean that they would be in the 1st level of the next realm, they would enter the threshold of the realm, most commonly called gate. Previously, Wu Long was at the gate of Qi Gathering Realm and despite using medicines he used before, he was unable to even come close to advancing to the 1st level. This showed how beneficial this Yin Qi was to him, as he now was almost there.

"Thank you for the sealing formation, it is very considerate of you"

He said as he opened his eyes.

"It is only natural that I help you as you are helping me"

Sui Luxiao, who now completely regained her composure, replied to him.

She used a formation to clean up the floor and another one to vent out the smell. She could not do so earlier in order to not disturb the Yin Qi.

She gave him his spatial ring that he left on the sink. When she noticed it, she somehow felt heartwarmed by this small gesture of attention.

There was now no evidence that anything out of the ordinary happened here.

"I feel a lot better from 2 sessions already, … it, it really was a problem of Yin Qi…" she said, somewhat still in disbelief.

"It is normal for it not to be widely known, as I told you before. Doctors all have their specialties, and even good doctors who specialize in women's health may not be experienced when it comes to this"

"You said you are an expert in this before… so you are…"

"A dual cultivator" he replied to her.

"But…" she started, but immediately regretted it.

"A minor accident, no need to be so reserved, it is not permanent, as I should be quite close to fixing it, maybe a week at best" he said without any displeasure, both relieving and surprising her.

"I see, I hope your cure goes well" she said with genuine feeling.

"Thank you. Ah, since that would be around after our fourth treatment, there will still be treatments left, I promise not to do anything, but if you are uncomfortable…"

"No need… I, I trust you" she said, saying the first half that interrupted him before she even realized it.

He smiled, nodding.

When he stood up she released the formations and the lock on the door and immediately the doors violently opened up and a furious piece of moving trash stormed into the room.

"Dear! This bastard…! This bastard dared to hit me!" he shouted with indignation.

Sui Luxiao raised her brow and looked at Wu Long.

"I may have removed an obstacle from my path on the way here" he replied lazily.

An understanding flashed through her eyes as she returned her gaze to her husband.

"I told you not to bother Wu… Mister Wu when he comes here" she said, almost calling him Wu Long to her husband's face.

"Y-You are taking his side?!?!" Her husband's eyes nearly popped out of his eyesockets at her.

"If you did nothing wrong perhaps I would not, but you did" she said in a cold tone

"Dear!"

"Stop shouting and shut up" She suddenly raised her voice.

Her husband's voice suddenly felt nauseating to her more than usual. There was also an intense feeling of disgust at the word 'dear' coming from his mouth. A warm embrace that made her feel warm, calm, peaceful and secure flashed deep at the back of her mind, in the part that was not conscious.

Her husband's frightened appearance further repulsed and thus infuriated her but she forcefully made herself calm.

"My apologies, Mister Wu, I will make sure this does not repeat itself"

She said to Wu Long as he nodded without much care.

"Don't worry about it, I will return in three days then" he said, and after exchanging farewells, he left the office and the trading company premises thereafter.

Sui Luxiao sat down at her office desk while her husband tottered closer to her desk while fumbling his fingers.

"D-Dear, I have to know what this treatment is to consult with a proper doctor. Who knows if he is harming you?" he said after some time of awkward silence.

"You do not need to concern yourself with it" she replied in a cold and detached manner.

"But, but I am your husband!"

"Husband?" she looked at him intensely.

'Where were you before?'

'When have you worried about me? You were even more lively the worse my condition became!'

'You think with your puny efforts to conceal I wouldn't know about that slut?'

A flurry of thoughts and emotions flashed through her mind, but she held them in as always. She was once enchanted by this fool. He seemed like a dashing man, and made tremendous efforts, going out of his skin to show her his affection. Her young and naive herself was too immature and inexperienced.

She knew better later, but she had kids, and she did not want to deny them a father, so she stayed, devoting all of her love and affection to the children. Despite her efforts being in vain she did not give up trying to raise them into good men, but she failed. And only after she knew that he was the reason behind her failure, corrupting their minds and infecting them with his filth. Her hatred for him grew, and turned into disgust.

But they were tied together now, as she assimilated the business of his family into the trading company when they got married all those years ago. There were also kids who she still could not bring herself to cut off.

And she turned to the company, slowly becoming a shell of a person, a human embodiment of this company. And despite that she could not bring herself to just break the cycle and cast this all away. This was her life, something she spent decades of effort, tears, sweat and blood on. How could she so simply throw it away?

But now, the feeling of disgust she felt toward her husband sharply rose, intensifying in what felt like moments. The fury of all the suppressed years started sipping through the cracks of her crumbling patience. The suffocation she felt increased, since there were now two moments she was completely free of all of it. And in contrast this reality turned into hell.

But she still endured, as she clung onto something. Something she did not understand herself.

She sighed deeply, and just waved him off, turning to look at the account books on the desk.

Meanwhile Wu Long went on to Yu Huan as usual, teaching her alchemy in preparation for the pill. He also made some experiments as he was still calculating and deducing the exact recipe for making this pill.
