However, Ian Song gave Lily and Autumn even more care—not only did he personally perform marrow-washing for them, but he also gave them physique-enhancing medicines and quite a few Vital Essence Pills. As a result, both girls have reached the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm.
Of course, their rapid progress in cultivation is also thanks to the dense spiritual energy of this world.
At this moment, Lily has suppressed her cultivation down to peak Postnatal. Her long legs, hidden beneath her embroidered skirt, blur into heavy overlapping leg-shadows as she repeatedly attacks Prince Daniel Jiang.
She drives Daniel back again and again.
Fortunately, after being beaten up by Lily and Autumn so many times, this kid has trained hard in Ninefold Dragon Step, mastering the technique to an almost instinctive level. He can barely withstand Lily’s storm-like attacks, but that’s about it—he’s still not quite ready to fight back.
“Not bad. Your footwork is pretty good.”
Ian Song’s voice rang out. Lily instantly stopped her attacks and, like a swallow returning to its nest, ran over to Ian and skillfully hugged his arm. “Grand General, you’re back!”
“Mm.” Ian nodded.
Prince Daniel Jiang also walked over, bowing respectfully to Ian. “Disciple greets Master.”
“That’s enough for today. You can go back now,” Ian said calmly.
"Yes, Master."
Prince Daniel Jiang bowed to Ian Song once more before turning to leave. As soon as he was gone, Autumn hurried up and wrapped herself around Ian's other arm.
Over a year had passed, and Lily and Autumn were no longer the scrawny girls they once were. Now they had grown into tall, graceful young women, standing upright and elegant, with curves in all the right places and a natural allure. Thanks to their martial cultivation, their skin was not only smooth but also supple and elastic.
Today, Lily wore a pale green gauze dress, while Autumn was dressed in a soft yellow long skirt.
With proper nutrition, both girls had shot up in height, now standing over 1.7 meters tall.
Simply put, in every way, the two girls had matured—they were ripe for the season of harvest.
Ian had been in this world for over a year, and he had never touched a woman. Now, seeing Lily and Autumn so beautifully grown and alluring, he couldn't help but feel his heart stir.
"Grand General..."
Feeling Ian's slightly heated and meaningful gaze, both girls felt their hearts tighten, and their pretty faces flushed a deep red.
Ever since they began serving Ian, Lily and Autumn had been mentally prepared to devote themselves to him.
But Ian had never made a move on them, which left them feeling a bit disappointed. Sometimes, in private, they even wondered if the Grand General looked down on them, and that was why he never claimed their bodies.
Now, feeling Ian's 'heated' gaze, they were nervous, but at the same time, a secret joy quietly blossomed in their hearts.
"I've been busy all day, and I'm all sweaty. Lily, go help me prepare some bathwater."
Sensing the girls' tension, Ian smiled gently as he spoke.
"Yes, Grand General."
Lily fled almost as if escaping, her pretty face growing even redder, lost in her own thoughts.
"I'll go help Lily."
Autumn was about to leave, but Ian suddenly pulled her into his arms. Feeling the delicate smoothness of her waist, he softened his movements and gently caressed her there.
"General!" Autumn cried softly, her body instantly going weak and collapsing into Ian's embrace.
A soft, whimpering moan escaped Autumn's nose, and her body instantly went limp, sinking into Ian's arms.
Ian was a little surprised by how sensitive she was, admiring her beauty as he looked at Autumn's flawless face and leaned down to kiss her.
With soft fragrance and warmth in his arms, Ian felt a deep satisfaction. His gaze lingered on Autumn's flawless, beautiful face, her long lashes trembling as she kept her eyes tightly shut. Unable to hold back any longer, he lowered his head and captured her moist lips in a deep kiss. The sound of their lips meeting was soft and lingering.
"Mmm..." Autumn let out a muffled cry, her voice a mix of joy and embarrassment.
Autumn let out a soft, ambiguous moan, equal parts joy and shyness. Her delicate body stiffened at first, then gradually relaxed as Ian's tongue explored her mouth.
Feeling the delicate body in his arms stiffen and quickly heat up, Ian slipped his tongue into Autumn's fragrant mouth, exploring gently. As people eat grains and grow older, impurities accumulate in the body, often causing bad breath. But for cultivators like Ian and Autumn, the deeper their cultivation, the fewer impurities remain, and at a certain level, all impurities vanish.
So Autumn's mouth was not only free of any unpleasant odor, but instead carried a faint, sweet fragrance. As Ian's tongue teased her, Autumn felt a tingling numbness spread from her face through her whole body, and her tightly closed teeth unconsciously parted a little. Ian didn't let the opportunity slip by—his tongue slipped in, catching her shy, tender tongue. Under his guidance, Autumn's timid tongue gradually grew bolder, touching, separating, and entwining with his.
Gradually, Autumn's cheeks flushed with crimson, her eyes half-open and glazed with intoxication. After who knows how long, Ian finally let her go. A thin silver thread still connected their lips, and he felt an urge to take her right then and there.
"Do you like it?" Ian whispered softly in her ear.
"Mm." Autumn nodded, then realized how direct she'd been and was mortified. She buried her burning face in Ian's broad chest, which only made him laugh heartily, pride evident in his voice.
Lily's voice drifted in from outside the courtyard: "Grand General, what's making you so happy? Will you tell your humble maid?" A pale green cloud seemed to float in as she entered.
"Come here, I'll show you!" Ian beckoned, his eyes twinkling with mischief as Lily entered the courtyard like a pale green cloud.
With a wave of his hand, Ian pulled Lily to him as if by magic. Without giving her any time to react, he kissed her passionately. Compared to Autumn, Lily was far bolder and more uninhibited.
Lily was caught off guard at first, but quickly turned from passive to active. Her lotus-white arms wrapped around Ian's neck, and her long legs clamped around his waist, hanging onto him completely.
After a five-minute heated kiss, Lily gazed at Ian with spring in her eyes and whispered frankly, "I still want more."
Ian playfully patted her perky rear, feeling its springy resilience. "Quick, get down—someone's coming."
"Ah!" Lily squeaked in surprise and quickly jumped down from Ian as soon as she heard footsteps approaching.
Autumn, still in Ian's arms, was so shy she didn't dare look up, her face burning red.
Ian released Autumn and straightened his clothes, looking calm and composed.
A moment later, a young officer entered the courtyard and knelt respectfully before Ian. "Reporting to the Grand General, the Imperial Princess has arrived at the main hall and requests your presence."
Ian nodded and adjusted his clothes once more. "Let's go."
With a wave of his hand, Ian pulled Lily to him as if by magic. Without giving her any time to react, he kissed her passionately.
Compared to Autumn, Lily was far bolder and more uninhibited.
She was caught off guard at first, but quickly turned from passive to active. Her lotus-white arms wrapped around Ian’s neck, and her long legs clamped around his waist, hanging onto him completely.
After a five-minute heated kiss, Lily gazed at Ian with spring in her eyes and whispered frankly, "I still want more."
Ian playfully patted her perky rear, feeling its springy resilience. "Quick, get down—someone’s coming."
"Ah!"
Though Lily was usually bold, she squeaked in surprise and quickly jumped down from Ian as soon as she heard footsteps approaching.
Sure enough, a group of servants soon arrived, each carrying a bucket of hot water.
Under Lily and Autumn’s instructions, the servants quickly filled a huge wooden tub with clean water.
The tub was big enough that even three people inside wouldn’t feel crowded.
No one knew what Ian was thinking when he had such an oversized tub made.
Once the servants were dismissed and the door closed, Lily and Autumn shyly offered to help Ian undress.
Ian said nothing, simply spread his arms and let the girls do as they pleased. Soon, he was stripped down to just his underwear, his well-built, perfectly muscled body on full display.
Although this wasn’t their first close look at Ian’s body, the two girls were once again captivated by his powerful, masculine physique.
Every time they saw the Grand General up close, they couldn’t help but be drawn to the perfection of his form.
Even though they’d seen him like this before, his sheer masculinity never failed to mesmerize them.
