Codex of Ascension
"Bang—Bang—Bang—Smack—Smack—Smack—" The fierce sound of bodies colliding grew more urgent, even making the windows tremble. Needless to say, the close-quarters combat inside the room had reached its fever pitch.
"Oh—ah—oh my God!" With several screams of ecstasy, the "storm" inside the room finally subsided, leaving only a mix of whispered nonsense and breathless moans.
Rainie Cheng was driven to the peak by Shawn Young's final wild thrusts, her skin flushed and glistening with fragrant sweat. The intense exertion and the blissful sensation of the Twin Spirit Rite left her body and mind intoxicated. Soon, she collapsed on the tatami and drifted into a deep sleep.
Sergeant Mandy Chung's stamina couldn't match Rainie Cheng's. After the first round of their intense three-way battle, she was the first woman to be utterly spent and collapsed to rest.
Only Rachel Sasaki, with the strongest stamina and cultivation, remained. After being nourished by Shawn Young's Twin Spirit Rite, she felt refreshed in both body and soul. Even after Shawn's wild charge sent her soaring to the peak, she didn't fall asleep. Instead, she stayed lively, nestling in Shawn's arms, their slippery bodies pressed tightly together in pure comfort.
"Ryoko, I have a question. How did you know I was in that place?" Shawn Young suddenly remembered and asked Rachel Sasaki.
"Oh, did you forget I know the Threadweaver Tracking Art? I needed to find you that day, so I used it to locate you. Turns out you were in the middle of a big duel, so I rushed over to help you when the chance came!" Rachel Sasaki explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Ryoko, thank you so much. If you hadn't helped in time, Rainie and I might have—" As he spoke, Shawn gave her a playful thrust.
"Oh—you naughty beast! Is this how you thank me? You're terrible, so wild for so long you exhausted both of them! Good thing I stuck it out with you to the end! Hehe—" Rachel Sasaki shivered as his still-hard member pressed against her, her body going soft. She traced circles on Shawn's chest with her pinky, her breath fragrant as she teased.
"Hehe—isn't this way of thanking you something you like?" Shawn Young teased, his mischievous hands squeezing her firm, round backside—he couldn't get enough of that feeling.
"You're so bad—asking me such embarrassing questions! After what you've done to me—how could I say I don't like it!" Rachel Sasaki replied, blushing and pouting.
"Hehe—if you like it, we can go again!" Shawn said, still kneading as he felt himself stiffen once more beneath her.
"Oh—you naughty beast—don't, not again! You still have things to do later!" Rachel Sasaki felt another surge of Shawn's "killing intent" below, and quickly protested in a sweet voice.
"Oh? What is it?" Shawn, seeing her serious expression, reluctantly paused.
"Do you know where we are right now?" Rachel Sasaki asked.
Shawn Young glanced around the room. The spacious tatami where they'd "fought" stood out, and in the corners were images of ancient Japanese warriors and black-and-white patterned decorations, giving the place a distinct, old-fashioned Japanese vibe. Curious, he asked, "Uh—is this your room?"
"No, this is my father's room," Rachel Sasaki shook her head.
"Ah—this is Mr. Sasaki's room!? Then, doing... this kind of thing here—he won't find out, will he?" Shawn Young asked, mortified.
"He knows! That's why he let us do it here," Rachel Sasaki replied, her cheeks flushed.
"Huh? Is this some kind of tradition? Or what?" Shawn Young's face burned with embarrassment. Doing this "outrageous adult game" with three women in his future father-in-law Mr. Sasaki's room—it only made him more flustered.
"No, my father knows you need the Twin Spirit Rite to restore your cultivation, so he let us do it here. Don't worry, just the four of us—no one else will interrupt! I wouldn't want anyone else seeing anyway, it's way, way too much—" Rachel Sasaki said, biting her lip as her cheeks flushed.
"Oh—good, that's a relief!" Shawn sighed, then quickly asked, "So, where is Mr. Sasaki living now?"
"Oh—he's waiting for us at the Koga Altar!" Rachel Sasaki replied.
"The altar? What's it for?" Shawn asked quickly.
"It's the place where the Koga Clan worships our ancestors. My father goes there every so often for rituals. Now that we've used his room, he's moved over there—actually, he's waiting for you to recover so you can go see him!" Rachel Sasaki explained.
"Oh—he's waiting for me? What do I need to do?" Shawn asked.
"Save someone. Save your friend!" Rachel Sasaki replied.
"My friend? Who?" Shawn was stunned.
"George 'Oxhead' Gu from the Thirteen Enforcers! He was hit by Kimiko's Shadow Candle Hex!" Rachel Sasaki said.
"Ah! So George 'Oxhead' Gu was hit by the Shadow Candle Hex? I can't believe how vicious Kimiko is—she's actually cultivating with Corpse Shade Poison!" Shawn Young knew well how dangerous the Shadow Candle Hex was. Practicing this dark sorcery required placing a corpse in an extremely yin environment and absorbing its Death Miasma for bizarre cultivation—truly sinister stuff.
"Yeah, the Death Miasma is incredibly potent. Now George 'Oxhead' Gu's meridians are already invaded by the poison. My father doesn't have enough power to do more than temporarily suppress the toxin. Plus, he was ambushed years ago by Daniel Feathercloud from the Nine Chrysanthemums Society, leaving him with lingering injuries and residual dark poison. Only Pure Yang Qi strong enough can drive it out!" Rachel Sasaki explained.
"Oh, that's serious. We can't waste any time—let's go!" Shawn Young said, scooping Rachel Sasaki up as they got dressed.
"Uh—let them rest here! We'll come back after we handle things!" After dressing, Shawn looked at the still-sleeping Rainie Cheng and Sergeant Mandy Chung.
"Mm-hmm—let's go!" Rachel Sasaki nodded and led Shawn Young out of the room.
They walked down a long corridor to another room. Before they even entered, they heard violent coughing inside, followed by an aged voice: "You're finally here. The door's open—come in!"
Startled, Rachel Sasaki hurriedly opened the door. There, lying unconscious on a tatami, was George 'Oxhead' Gu.
Sitting cross-legged beside him was the haggard and aged Mr. Sasaki! The coughing was his, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
What shocked Shawn Young most was—Mr. Sasaki, who'd always been so energetic, now had a head full of white hair. His face was shrouded in a faint gray-black hue, and wrinkles had deepened. His whole posture was hunched, as if he'd aged decades overnight!
"Sigh—I didn't expect that, in trying to suppress his Corpse Shade Poison, I ended up triggering my own old wounds! Sigh—I'm getting old!" Mr. Sasaki sighed and shook his head.
