Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1217 - 532: Preparing for a Marriage Proposal
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
At this moment, both women’s gazes landed at the same time on the new Vice Sect Leader Token at Li Yunjing’s waist, and their eyes instantly turned red.
"Yunjing!"
Yu Yunyi was the first to throw herself into his arms, her voice nasal, "A full fifteen years, do you have any idea how we..."
Before she finished, her throat closed up and she couldn’t speak.
Lv Ruoxi stood to the side biting her lip, her fingertips twisting at her sash, until Li Yunjing reached a hand out to her; only then did she trot over and throw herself into his embrace, her warm tears soaking through his sleeve.
Little Yellow landed on Yu Yunyi’s shoulder with a "chirp chirp," lightly patting her cheek with its wings, making her break into a tearful smile: "Little Yellow’s grown quite a bit too!"
She raised her hand to gently smooth the golden bird’s feathers, but Little Yellow pecked at her palm, as if reproaching her for focusing on talking and neglecting its master.
Li Yunjing laughed as he drew the two women into the house. The scent of sandalwood mixed with their familiar body fragrance brushed against his face; on the desk lay a half-cooled breakfast, clearly something they’d left in a hurry upon hearing the news.
"These years, Rising Sun Peak has been in Ling’Er’s care; only because of that could I throw myself into cultivation."
Yu Yunyi poured Spirit Tea for him, fresh osmanthus blossoms floating in the tea, "These years, how has your cultivation gone?"
"You heartless man!"
Lv Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Li Yunjing in a coquettish huff: "You come out of seclusion and don’t even think to come see us sisters first thing."
Even as she said this, she quietly picked up a piece of honey cake and placed it in Li Yunjing’s bowl.
This pastry was exactly the kind Li Yunjing loved most.
"Delicious!"
Li Yunjing took a bite; the sweetness melted on his tongue, and for a moment it felt more wonderful than any Pill he’d swallowed while in seclusion.
"These fifteen years have been hard on you both."
After finishing the Spirit Tea and the pastries, Li Yunjing looked at Yu Yunyi, then at Lv Ruoxi, his eyes full of indulgent affection. "I was in seclusion in the Thunder Marrow Cave; though I had no sense of time outside, every time cultivation reached a difficult bottleneck, I would think of you waiting for me."
"You went into seclusion so abruptly, without leaving a single message!"
Yu Yunyi buried her head in his chest, her voice muffled: "We even worried something might have happened to you. Later we requested an audience with the Sect Leader Venerable, only then did we learn you’d gone into seclusion."
She paused, her fingertips gently brushing the Vice Sect Leader Token at Li Yunjing’s waist.
Lv Ruoxi leaned against his shoulder and added, "These fifteen years, Yunyi and I have been cultivating bitterly all along, just waiting for you to come out!"
Her eyes sparkled, as if she wanted to squeeze herself right into Li Yunjing’s chest and merge into one with him.
Little Yellow suddenly chirped and flew onto the desk, scratching at the honey cake with its claws, then tilting its head at Li Yunjing as though urging him to eat more.
"Hehe!"
With Little Yellow suddenly butting in, the ambiguous atmosphere among the three finally dissipated.
Li Yunjing chuckled and pinched the golden bird’s head, then turned to the two women and said, "During this seclusion, I was fortunate enough to comprehend the mysteries of the Five Elements Divine Thunder and the Yin Yang Divine Thunder; my cultivation is now at the Golden Core Second Heaven."
"But more than any of that, what delights me most is finding you both safe and well upon my return."
A strand of purple-gold Thunder Light rose in his palm. "When we go into seclusion together, I’ll tell you all the Daos I’ve grasped! And besides, we should properly study the Yin Yang Harmony Scripture."
As he said this, Li Yunjing gave the two women a meaningful look.
"All right!"
Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi’s eyes widened at the same time, brimming with anticipation.
Ever since they’d tried the Yin Yang Harmony Scripture last time, the two had known it was the best path of cultivation, able to multiply their efficiency.
Naturally, they had long been looking forward to dual cultivation with Li Yunjing.
Besides, dual cultivation was an exceedingly wonderful thing.
After sixteen or seventeen years without intimacy, the two of them also quite missed that exquisite taste.
"Ling’Er, go tidy up my room."
Thinking of this, Yu Yunyi called toward Ling’Er outside the sitting room.
"Yes, Miss!"
Ling’Er didn’t come in; she answered playfully from outside, and then her footsteps faded into the distance, seemingly heading up to the second floor.
"Little Yellow, go play! Come find us again after three days!"
Li Yunjing smiled, rubbing Little Yellow’s head, signaling that it could go out and not disturb his intimacy with Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi.
"Chirp chirp..."
The little fellow cocked its head to look at Li Yunjing, then at Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, as if it understood something. Only then did it hop about, flap its wings, and circle around the three, flying and chirping...
Seeing this left Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, and Yu Yunyi all helpless; only then did the little one finally take the hint and fly out through the corridor.
"Hehe! This little guy is getting smarter and smarter."
Li Yunjing shook his head with a wry smile.
"You...! Right, Ruoxi and I will go up first; you can come up in a bit!"
Yu Yunyi pulled Lv Ruoxi to her feet, about to leave the sitting room.
"What?"
Li Yunjing froze, not knowing what the two women were up to.
"Heehee! We’ll give you a surprise!"
Lv Ruoxi blew him a playful kiss, then took Yu Yunyi’s jade hand, and the two went off together.
"Hehe!"
Li Yunjing chuckled softly and shook his head in mild exasperation. They’d been together so many years already, and they still liked to play little games?
But he wasn’t in any rush either. Having battled with Zhu Wanyun all through the previous night, he’d already vented some of his pent-up desire and didn’t feel especially urgent.
When he judged the time about right, his Myriad Li Communication Talisman suddenly vibrated. It turned out to be a message from Yu Yunyi, asking him to come upstairs.
"Let’s see what you’ve got prepared for me."
Li Yunjing smiled lightly, drained his tea, rose to his feet, and walked toward the stairs.
When he once again stepped into Yu Yunyi’s familiar boudoir, he found that it was somewhat different from before.
