Chapter 7 Dual Cultivation Progresses Rapidly
At the same time, a vast spiritual force, like a gentle tide, slowly seeped into Zhu Lu's spiritual sea.
That spiritual strength is incredible!
Zhu Lu's previously panicked mind miraculously calmed down in that instant.
She felt as if she had become a fish swimming freely in the ocean, and Dai Huabin was that all-encompassing ocean.
The awkwardness and resistance she felt during her previous practice had completely disappeared.
The Netherworld Cat Spirit within her body let out a joyful chirp and actively intertwined with Dai Huabin's White Tiger Spirit.
"this..."
Zhu Lu's eyes widened in surprise.
In the past, when she was cultivating, she always had to carefully match Dai Huabin's pace, for fear of falling behind.
But now, she felt that she didn't need to deliberately guide it at all. The two soul energies were as if they were originally one, flowing naturally and then merging.
Moreover, the feeling of being held tightly in his arms is really reassuring.
Zhu Lu's originally stiff body slowly softened, her back gently resting against Dai Huabin's chest, and she closed her eyes.
Since it's for cultivation... then... then it's okay to be a little intimate, right?
As Dai Huabin felt the girl's obedience in his arms, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Sure enough, with the guidance of spiritual energy and this intimate contact, the efficiency of cultivating through the fusion of spirits was indeed very fast.
Having lived two lives, Dai Huabin's soul strength has made him much better at controlling his soul power than before.
In the past, Dai Huabin only knew how to use brute force to suppress Zhu Lu and make her cooperate with him.
Now, of course, he needed to get stronger together with Lulu, who only had eyes for him.
Just as the two were immersed in this wonderful state of cultivation.
The fluctuations in soul energy within the room grew increasingly intense.
A huge, illusory white tiger appeared above the two of them, while a lively black cat was affectionately rubbing against its neck beside the tiger.
"Lulu, concentrate."
Dai Huabin suddenly sensed that the person in his arms was somewhat distracted, and couldn't resist gently pinching the soft flesh of her waist.
"Don't think about those messy things."
"Hmm!"
Zhu Lu trembled, and her ears instantly turned bright red.
That bastard!
He was the one who started it!
Just then, Dai Huabin's eyes suddenly narrowed.
In his perception, the fusion of the two spirits seemed to be quietly working towards a "100%" compatibility in this ambiguous and enchanting cultivation atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the soul power within his body, under this rapid fusion and circulation, began to challenge the bottleneck of level thirty-three.
At that moment, Zhu Lu felt as if she were soaking in a hot spring. The warm current spread from her spine to her limbs and bones. Her soul power, which had been sluggish due to the level 26 bottleneck, was now flowing smoothly under the influence of Dai Huabin's domineering soul power.
Is this the cultivation speed brought about by deep spirit compatibility?
Zhu Lu quietly opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
What came into view was the boy's broad and sturdy chest, and through the thin fabric, his body heat flowed continuously.
"Focus."
A soft laugh came from above, followed by a large hand tightening around the waist as if as punishment.
Zhu Lu's body went limp, and the blush that had just faded from her face began to return.
She grumbled inwardly, a little resentful: "It's you who's holding me so tightly, how can I concentrate?"
But despite the complaints, their actions spoke louder than words.
This kind of cultivation was much more efficient than before.
Previously, when the two held hands, the flow of their soul power was at most like a babbling brook. Now that they were pressed together, and with Dai Huabin's spiritual guidance, it was like a surging river, flowing endlessly.
In just one morning, Zhu Lu felt that her level 25 soul power barrier had loosened considerably, and she was only one step away from level 26.
Zhu Lu stole a glance at Dai Huabin's strong jawline, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, as if she had been given a whole jar of honey.
It turns out Hua Bin was right. The deeper the feelings, the higher the compatibility, and the faster the cultivation.
He was in such a hurry to bring her out to cultivate. Even though his methods were a bit... questionable, his real intention was to become stronger and for the sake of their future.
Upon thinking of this, Zhu Lu's last remaining shyness vanished completely, replaced by a sense of crisis.
Hua Bin was already a level 32 Soul Master, while she herself was still hovering around the Great Soul Master realm.
No, Zhu Lu, you can't hold him back! You're meant to be the one standing by his side, not a burden hiding behind him!
The confusion in Zhu Lu's eyes gradually faded.
She took a deep breath, actively adjusted her breathing rhythm, and controlled the Netherworld Cat Spirit within her body to more passionately respond to the proud white tiger.
If Dai Huabin was leading her the way just now, now the two of them were sprinting side by side.
Dai Huabin clearly noticed the change in the person in his arms, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a satisfied smile.
This girl is quite quick to understand.
The two continued their cultivation until noon.
A loud "gurgle!" broke the idyllic and solemn atmosphere of cultivation in the room.
This time it wasn't Zhu Lu, it was Dai Huabin.
After all, maintaining such a high level of spiritual guidance and soul power output is extremely taxing on the body.
Even the strongest body can't withstand hunger.
The cultivation practice was forced to stop.
Dai Huabin slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his heterochromatic pupils before quickly disappearing, returning to his usual deep gaze.
He looked down and met Zhu Lu's bright, cat-like eyes.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
"Hungry?" Dai Huabin raised an eyebrow, breaking the silence.
Zhu Lu originally wanted to nod, but for some reason, looking at the handsome face so close to her, she shook her head as if possessed, and then quickly nodded, looking a bit dazed.
"Pfft."
Dai Huabin couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to ruffle her long, smooth hair:
"Silly girl."
He didn't rush to get up, but instead maintained the embracing posture, his upper body slightly leaning forward.
The distance between the two instantly closed, so close that they could hear each other's breaths.
Zhu Lu's heart skipped a beat, and her hand, which had been on his waist, instinctively gripped the hem of his clothes.
She seemed to sense something was amiss; her eyelashes trembled violently, like the wings of a startled butterfly.
To hide or not to hide?
The idea was rejected after only 0.01 seconds in her mind.
Zhu Lu slowly closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and her obedient appearance made her look extremely vulnerable.
Looking at the delicate little face in front of him, Dai Huabin's last bit of hesitation disappeared.
Although the original intention of bringing her to the hotel was indeed to quickly improve her strength using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and incidentally to increase her favorability.
But people are all made of flesh and blood, and this girl's eyes were full of her own reflection, which was indeed very endearing.
