Whoosh—! A flash of light, and Shawn Young was suddenly back in the outside world. This time, he held a fragrant Solar Essence Pill in his hand, its scent tickling his nose.
"Fiona, I did it! I got the pill!" As soon as Shawn appeared, he spotted Fiona Tang sitting quietly on a rock. She looked so graceful and calm that it made his heart flutter. He strolled over, sat down beside her, and opened his palm to reveal the Solar Essence Pill. "Fiona, I didn’t let you down—I got the medicine!"
"Wow—smells incredible! This pill must be super expensive! What is it?" Fiona sniffed the rich, unique aroma, her eyes wide with amazement. She’d never smelled anything so good before.
"Hehe—this is the Solar Essence Pill. It'll drive out most of the Darkforce in your body. Come on, swallow it!" Shawn gently placed the pill into Fiona's cherry lips.
The Solar Essence Pill melted the moment it touched Fiona’s mouth, filling her senses with a wave of herbal fragrance. It turned into a cool, sweet liquid that flowed down her throat like a gentle stream.
As the pill’s magical power spread, Fiona felt the blockages in her limbs and bones begin to clear. Cool, refreshing energy surged through her meridians, washing away the Darkforce. Her exhausted body suddenly felt full of vitality again.
But the most exciting part—cool waves rushed into her eyes, and the darkness faded. Fiona started to see the soft orange glow around her, the gentle night, the steamy mist from the hot spring, and finally, Shawn Young’s goofy grin.
"Ah! I—I can see! This is incredible, I—I got my sight back! Oh, I thought I’d be blind forever! Shawn—thank you—thank you—" Overwhelmed, Fiona threw herself into Shawn’s arms, hugging him tight as tears spilled from her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe—alright, Fiona, don’t cry. You’ve just recovered most of the way, so don’t get too worked up yet—" Shawn smiled, gently stroking her back to comfort her.
"I—I’m just really, really happy!" Fiona kept crying tears of joy, clinging to Shawn. Her soft body pressed against him, as if only by hugging him close could she express her excitement at this new lease on life.
"Uh—Fiona, even though you swallowed the Solar Essence Pill, it only got rid of most of the Darkforce. There’s still a bit left in your brain. If we don’t clear it out, it might mess with your powers in the future!" Shawn hugged Fiona’s soft, curvy body tighter, feeling a thrill.
"Oh—so, what else do I need to do to get rid of the Darkforce completely? I’ll do whatever it takes!" Fiona was totally convinced by Shawn’s words now.
"Uh—well—you’ve probably heard of the Dual Harmony Technique in Daoist cultivation, right?" Shawn asked, looking a bit nervous.
"Huh? Dual Harmony Technique? I think a Trueheart Sect master mentioned it once—but he said it’s kind of... weird! You need a man and a woman to, um, strip naked... and then—" Fiona realized how awkward it sounded and blushed bright red, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Well, yeah, it’s a little... intimate, but the results are really amazing! And it’s not actually some evil technique—people just misunderstand it. If both partners practice together, you level up way faster than with normal methods, and there are lots of special benefits. It’s just a big misunderstanding by other sects!" Shawn explained, face red, scratching his head.
Fiona blinked, looking up at Shawn with big, watery eyes, her cheeks flushed. She asked softly, "So—do you know the Dual Harmony Technique, then?"
"Uh—yeah, I do!" Shawn hesitated, then admitted it, looking a little embarrassed.
"So—is it really as magical as you say?" Fiona asked, her face growing even hotter.
"Yeah, totally! I’m really confident about the Dual Harmony Technique!" Shawn could see Fiona was wavering, and just a little more convincing would do the trick.
"Uh—will there be any... accidents? Like, um, pregnancy or something? That would be a disaster—" Fiona’s voice was tiny, but her heart was pounding like crazy.
"Oh, don’t worry! You know how Daoist cultivation works—‘refining essence into energy’ and all that. I’ve already reached that level, so you don’t need to worry about pregnancy." Shawn grinned, showing off a little.
"Then—then let’s... give it a try—" Fiona peeked at Shawn, her pretty face blushing bright red.
"Oh—yes, yes! I’ll do my best to work with you!" Shawn was over the moon. He couldn’t believe Fiona was so ‘on board,’ his eyebrows shot up and he swallowed hard with a loud gulp.
"Shawn—you, you look so... naughty! I’m scared—" Fiona saw Shawn’s eager look and blurted out, her heart pounding like crazy.
"Oh—Fiona—don’t be scared, I’ll be gentle—I promise." Shawn blushed, trying to calm his excitement and spoke carefully.
"But you—you really do look so... naughty—have you not been with a woman in ages!? Why are you so worked up? You’re making me super nervous—" Fiona clenched her hands, her face pink, eyes darting nervously at Shawn.
"Fiona—don’t get the wrong idea, I just really, really like you, that’s all. You know I’m not usually like this, right? Please, trust me!" Only then did Shawn realize his eagerness had startled Fiona. She was still innocent and battling her nerves, so he needed to dial it back.
