------------
After a sudden downpour, Shawn Young had just completed a full cycle of the Twin Spirit Rite. He had fully absorbed and fused Lilian Grace’s pure Maiden’s Yin. With dragons soaring and phoenixes dancing, yin and yang harmonized—his true power and energy were completely restored, and his cultivation had increased significantly. He had taken a big step forward in his mastery of the Law-Shed Realm.
At that moment, Shawn felt invigorated, his mind clear, and not a trace of fatigue. Glancing at his phone, he realized it was already past 5 a.m.! Beside him, Lilian Grace’s smooth, delicate body was still tinged with that special rosy flush of excitement, mixed with a faint sheen of fragrant sweat. The whole room was filled with the lingering, sultry scent of passion.
Looking down, Shawn saw the big, soft pink bed—originally Yvonne Hu’s—now a complete mess. The sheets were stained with traces of their steamy encounter, and in the center bloomed a vivid plum blossom! That blossom, still fresh and red, symbolized that the once pure campus queen Lilian Grace had truly become a woman.
Right now, Lilian Grace’s starry eyes were dreamy, her cheeks flushed with a captivating blush. After being nourished by the Twin Spirit Rite, her already delicate skin now glowed with a milky porcelain luster, making her look even more radiant and irresistible. Her lazy, beautiful sleeping pose left Shawn utterly entranced. Unable to resist, he planted a gentle kiss on her soft cheek, then shifted his body, trying to withdraw the still-hard beast below.
To Shawn’s surprise, as soon as he moved, Lilian Grace hugged his waist tightly and whispered, "Mm, don’t—don’t take it out, just leave it in—it feels so good—"
"Oh! Sure—" Shawn was overjoyed; this kind of hot spring-like pleasure was just what his little Shawn loved. So he didn’t pull out, but instead gave a gentle thrust. Lilian Grace let out a dreamy moan, then wrapped her arms around Shawn, pressing her body close to his. In that endless tenderness, Shawn stayed with her as she drifted off to sleep.
Before they knew it, daylight had broken. Suddenly, the roar of a car engine from downstairs startled the two from their blissful slumber. Shawn muttered, "Hmm—could it be Yvonne coming back?"
Lilian Grace was startled at first, worried that Yvonne Hu had returned. If Yvonne saw what had happened in this room, how embarrassing would that be? Blushing, she nudged Shawn and said, "Oh no, we need to get up quickly! Don’t forget, this is Yvonne’s room—even if it’s just her vacation villa, we… we still did it on her bed! If she finds out, it’ll be so awkward—"
"Oh—but what if it really is Yvonne coming upstairs and she sees us like this—how are we going to explain?!" Shawn asked anxiously.
Lilian Grace’s pretty face turned crimson at his words, but she bit her lip and said, "No need to explain! We made love because we wanted to! If it comes to it, I’ll just buy this villa with Yvonne. Anyway, all the villas here were developed by Aunt Vivian’s Harmony Real Estate, and they were meant to be sold!"
"But—you and Yvonne are as close as sisters. Won’t she feel hurt?" Shawn Young asked, still worried.
"Uh—well, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. It’s all your fault, you naughty thing, seducing me and taking advantage! Such a bad boy—this whole mess is on you—ugh—" Lilian Grace playfully pinched Shawn Young’s waist. Yesterday, she’d been swept away and surrendered to him, and now, thinking back, it all felt like a dream.
"Uh—okay! It’s my fault—but last night, someone sure seemed to enjoy it! Heh—" Shawn winced from the pinch, but hugged Lilian Grace around the waist. He’d already decided—even if Yvonne found out about their "fun," he’d just own up to it, like Lilian Grace said.
"Hmph—you’re still talking—such a bad boy—hurry up and get dressed, I need to change too—" Lilian Grace blushed again, remembering last night’s wild pleasure. She quickly broke free from Shawn’s embrace, grabbed her clothes, and hurried to the bathroom. Her walk was a bit awkward—the telltale sign of a girl’s first time.
Shawn Young grabbed his own clothes from the bedside and started dressing. But seeing the messy sheets—especially the vivid red plum blossom—he felt a little guilty. Imagining Yvonne walking in and seeing the scene, Shawn’s scalp tingled at the thought.
Lilian Grace quickly changed and came out of the bathroom. Seeing Shawn’s expression, she immediately understood what was on his mind, but her face showed a look of relief.
Knock—knock—knock—
There was a knock at the door outside the room. Lilian Grace quickly grabbed Shawn’s arm and said, "You wait here—let me answer it!"
Taking a deep breath, Lilian Grace walked confidently to the door and opened it. But her expression quickly turned to surprise—standing outside wasn’t Yvonne, but another campus beauty: Fiona Tang!
"Uh—hi, I hope I’m not—interrupting you?" Fiona Tang stood at the door, catching a whiff of a peculiar scent drifting from the room. It was odd and hard to describe, but as an innocent girl, she had no idea—it was the unmistakable aroma left behind after a night of passion.
"Oh, not at all—Fiona, you look so cool in that outfit! You really pull it off!" Lilian Grace exclaimed admiringly.
Fiona Tang was still dressed in the same brown-yellow camouflage combat uniform as yesterday, but today she wore a dark blue beret, adding a touch of heroic flair. Lilian Grace, having brought no change of clothes, was still in her simple black crew-neck T-shirt and white athletic shorts from yesterday. After being thoroughly nourished by Shawn’s Twin Spirit Rite, she looked even more radiant and beautiful than before, her skin especially soft and glowing.
"Hehe—Lilian, you’re the real beauty here. Honestly, you look even prettier than yesterday. Got any beauty secrets to share? Otherwise, girls like me who train all the time end up with rough skin and features." Fiona smiled, her bright eyes scanning the room and spotting Shawn Young, who was awkwardly grinning at her.
"Oh, Fiona, do you want to come in and sit for a bit?" Lilian Grace finally realized Fiona was still standing at the door. Privately, though, she really didn’t want Fiona to find out about her "fun" with Shawn Young. After all, as a girl, letting someone know she’d just had her first time was super awkward.
Fiona Tang noticed Lilian Grace’s embarrassed look, paused, and glanced at Shawn Young—then spotted the messy bed behind him. Immediately, she understood what had happened.
"Hehe—no need. I’m heading to military training today, but I wanted to stop by and check on Shawn Young, see how his recovery’s going! He’s looking pretty good today!" Fiona smiled at Shawn.
"Oh! I’m almost completely recovered, really—" Shawn Young replied with a smile.
"Hmm? Completely recovered? No way! Your condition was pretty serious, even the best cultivators couldn’t bounce back overnight!" Fiona Tang was stunned.
"It’s true! If you don’t believe me, check my meridians—" Shawn Young said, extending his right hand.
Curious, Fiona Tang didn’t hesitate and immediately took Shawn Young’s pulse, sending out her spiritual sense to check. Sure enough, she felt a surge of powerful true energy in him—far stronger than when she’d first met him!
"Whoa—Shawn, what kind of cultivation technique are you practicing? How did you recover your true energy and vitality so fast? That’s incredible!!" Fiona was also a cultivator, so she knew that normally, it would take months of rest and tonics to recover from such damage.
"Hehe—I practice the Heavenly Gang Pure Qi. Tiger recognized it yesterday," Shawn reminded her.
"Oh! I didn’t really believe Tiger when he said the Heavenly Gang Pure Qi was the best Taoist technique, but today I’m convinced! It’s truly amazing!" Fiona exclaimed sincerely.
"Hehe, you’re too kind, Fiona. Are you heading to the base for training today?" Shawn Young asked curiously.
"Yep, I’m heading to the training base soon. By the way, Tiger said your cultivation and foundation are great, and you have a huge advantage in long-range combat. But your fighting skills are weak! If you face a real martial arts expert in close combat, especially a sneak attack, you might not even get a chance to cast a spell before you’re taken down!" Fiona Tang suddenly said.
Shawn was stunned. He quickly recalled his past battles and realized Fiona was right—he always needed space to cast his spells. If someone attacked from behind, he’d have no way to defend himself!
"Uh—yeah, that’s a pretty obvious weakness. I’ve never learned real fighting or martial arts, so I don’t have any skills or experience in that area!" Shawn admitted honestly.
"Alright, Shawn, are you free today? If you are, come with me to the base training ground! See how the special forces train in combat!" Fiona Tang suddenly invited.
"Uh—that’d be awesome! I’ve always wanted to see how our country’s special forces train! But—I’m not military, can I even get in?" Shawn Young realized that might be a problem.
"Oh, ordinary people can’t just walk in. But you’re not ordinary—Tiger thinks highly of you. He’s given special instructions: if you want to train, you’ll have a green light all the way. It’s a special exception, just for you!" Fiona Tang said, glancing at Lilian Grace.
"Alright then, Shawn, you go with Fiona to check out the base. I’ll head home by myself later!" Lilian Grace understood what Fiona meant, and she wanted Shawn to become even stronger, so she spoke considerately.
"Great! I’ll go with you to the base and see what it’s like!" Shawn Young was, after all, a man, and every man craves strength and dreams of that hot-blooded life in the military.
"Hehe, you’re in luck—there’s a master at the base today! He’s Tiger’s good friend, a famous martial arts grandmaster in China! He’s the honorary chief instructor for the Blue Shirt Troop’s secret training. If you get his guidance, it’ll benefit you for life!" Fiona Tang added with a smile.
"A martial arts grandmaster?! Like Ip Man or Huo Yuanjia level? Wow—" Shawn Young was thrilled.
"Hehe—pretty much! Come on, you’ll see when we get there—" Fiona Tang laughed, turned, and headed downstairs. Shawn quickly gave Lilian Grace a goodbye kiss, then hurried after her, full of excitement.
