The Ice Empress immediately fell silent. Judging by her own performance, she was indeed unsuitable for Dual Cultivation; she was only suited to lying flat and being Cultivated... Damn it, what was with this inexplicable unwillingness!
The Ice Empress gnashed her teeth.
Kong Mingan's gaze was calm, but he continued to elaborate on his concept: "Therefore, if we want to popularize this method and make it universally applicable, we must rely on the current initial version and continue to improve and modify it."
"We must start from a more fundamental and safer direction. For example, since two people engaging in Dual Cultivation together can easily influence each other and have many restrictions,"
"then we can completely utilize a specialized spirit tool as an Energy source to achieve a stable Energy counter-balance model with the Spirit Master's own body."
"For instance, a Light-attribute Spirit Master could be equipped with a specialized spirit tool capable of stably outputting Dark spirit power. By constructing a controllable Energy conflict field between the spirit tool and their own Light spirit power, the effect of accelerating Cultivation can also be achieved."
"Of course, strictly speaking, this model might not be considered traditional Dual Cultivation; it is more like an Advanced Cultivation aid."
"But overall, this technical path is feasible, and the expected results should not be too poor."
Hearing this, the Ice Empress couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Since there is such a simpler method, why didn't you choose this one?"
If it could be done this way, she probably wouldn't have to be bullied into unconsciousness every time... Hmm, a few times occasionally was fine, but not too many, or else she felt she would break.
In response, Kong Mingan shook his head, directly refuting her idea, and said calmly, "Two reasons."
"First, this spirit tool-based plan was only just conceived by me. I only have a rough theoretical framework and research direction, and not even the complete data for the 'Spiritual Pivot' to perform preliminary derivations, let alone a finished product. Therefore, there is currently no choice."
"Second..."
Kong Mingan paused, then lightly and playfully tapped the Ice Empress's head: "...Why do you think an ordinary spirit tool can control Energy more precisely than I can?"
"Even if I only split off a wisp of consciousness to guide and control it, the precision, flexibility, and stability far exceed the limits currently achievable by spirit tools."
"Although this might sound strange, essentially, at this stage, I am probably the best Dual Cultivation furnace... Otherwise, why do you think your recent Cultivation efficiency has improved so quickly?"
As he spoke, Kong Mingan tightened his arm slightly, pulling the Ice Empress closer into his embrace, and whispered into her ear, "What's more... you quite enjoy this kind of Cultivation too, don't you?"
"Mmm..."
The Ice Empress closed her mouth, speechless for a moment. Under Kong Mingan's guidance, related memories naturally surged into her mind. In those memories, the fiery spirit power within his body would circulate through hers in a unique way, flowing from bottom to top, reaching all her limbs and bones. The feeling was like soaking in a hot spring, warm all over, yet carrying a strange sense of flow, as if every cell was being gently washed and nourished, causing one to involuntarily sink into it.
And she herself, after stubbornly shouting "Is that all?" a few times at the very beginning, harshly provoking him... was severely taught a lesson. After that, her consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes hazy. She dared to shout out all sorts of shameful things, and all sorts of embarrassing positions... Cough, all in all, aside from being a bit tiring, the entire process was quite good... perhaps even a little addictive?
The Ice Empress's throat unconsciously bobbed again. She felt her body starting to soften slightly, and a certain unspeakable sensation quietly surfaced once more.
The Ice Empress stopped swinging her legs, instead tensing them slightly, pressing down in the middle with one hand, suppressing the feeling. She was only wearing one outer coat right now! If she couldn't hold it in and soiled it, this guy would probably laugh at her forever! Absolutely not!
The Ice Empress took small, shallow breaths, trying to suppress the surging strange feeling in her heart.
Kong Mingan was not in a hurry. He quietly held the Ice Empress, playing with her hair in his hands, while silver light and light blue hues intertwined and flowed in his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
The atmosphere was silent for a while. After a long time, the Ice Empress reluctantly suppressed that strange feeling. There was no helping it; the first time always left a lingering taste, and she truly couldn't resist...
She really didn't know how Snow Empress managed to hold back—
Maybe she should find time to ask Snow Empress?
The Ice Empress's mind wandered, but at least her state returned to normal.
Taking a deep breath, the Ice Empress's gaze shifted, and she looked at Kong Mingan again, asking, "Speaking of which, what exactly is your relationship with that Zhang Lexuan?"
She was changing the subject, after all, if they continued discussing Dual Cultivation, she felt she would have to stay in the room for a few more days... and she would definitely become very strange!
Hearing this, Kong Mingan paused slightly, the flowing light in his eyes receding just in time. He then deliberated over his words and slowly said, "It's probably somewhat similar to you and me now."
"Tch..."
Receiving the expected answer, the Ice Empress let out a displeased click of her tongue. I knew it! This guy really wasn't human!
"Does Snow Empress know about this matter?"
"She knows."
"Snow Empress knows?!" The Ice Empress blinked, couldn't help but frown, and then continued to press, "Then, what about that Ju Zi?"
"No."
Kong Mingan shook his head, answering quickly this time: "Ju Zi and I are currently only in a purely superior-subordinate relationship."
Hearing this, the Ice Empress subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, but immediately, she keenly caught a certain word in his statement and pressed him: "'Currently'?"
Kong Mingan looked calmly to the side, not answering immediately.
The Ice Empress:
The Ice Empress understood instantly. She truly wanted to pounce on and bite this insatiable fellow to death right now!
Seemingly sensing her anger, Kong Mingan turned his gaze back and added, "Besides Snow Empress and Sister Lexuan, it is just you now. There is currently no one else."
The Ice Empress didn't fall for it. She stared intently at him, repeating the key word word by word: "'Cur-rent-ly'?"
Kong Mingan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded honestly: "...Currently."
The Ice Empress: "————"
She felt green on her head... Wait, my hair is already green!
The Ice Empress was speechless for a moment, suddenly having an impulse to change her hair color.
After patiently coaxing the Ice Empress for a good while, the little scorpion who was bristling and hissing finally calmed down slightly.
Raising her eyes to look at Kong Mingan beside her, the Ice Empress pursed her lips. She couldn't really muster too much anger, after all, this was essentially her choice, and she would never regret her own choice.
"So what should we do next?"
——
The Ice Empress raised her eyes to look at Kong Mingan, skillfully changing the subject.
Kong Mingan did not answer immediately, just looking at her quietly. The Ice Empress blinked, somewhat confused, but in the next moment, the Ice Empress suddenly crossed her arms over her chest, her expression vigilant, and curled her body up: "Are you coming again?!"
