The two sisters had spent these past days hiding and scurrying through the Cangyun Evil Lands, never getting proper rest. On top of that, they'd been pursued by members of the Carefree Sect and forced into one battle after another. If not for the True Yuan recovery speed of their Shared Spirit Link Art, they'd have been captured long ago.
After entering the Evil Spirit Cavern, they'd also had to deal with the malevolent spirits inside, growing even more exhausted. Their True Yuan was now practically depleted.
"Even if you start recovering now, it'll take at least half a day," Yang Kai said with a wry smile.
"I'm not going anywhere until I'm back to full strength," Hu Jiao'er pouted, her cherry-red lips oddly alluring.
"I have a way," Yang Kai chuckled. He reached into the Black Book's space and scooped out a drop of the Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid, then extended his finger toward Hu Jiao'er. "Open up!"
Hu Jiao'er opened her small, cherry-like mouth almost reflexively.
That unguarded reaction alone spoke volumes — she didn't really see Yang Kai as a threat.
His finger went in, and Hu Jiao'er's expression froze for a moment before she suddenly realized what had happened. Her almond eyes went wide, blush and anger blooming across her cheeks. She was about to let out an angry retort when Yang Kai quickly said, "Suck the liquid in."
Hu Jiao'er furrowed her brows. In the next instant, she felt a sweet, fragrant taste spreading across the tip of her tongue. Along with that sweetness, a surge of warm, abundant energy seeped into her abdomen and spread throughout her limbs and bones. In the span of a single breath, her nearly depleted True Yuan began rising rapidly.
She couldn't help but let a flicker of surprise cross her face. She eyed Yang Kai with suspicion, only to find no trace of anything lewd in his expression — he was as serious as could be.
Having tasted the benefits, Hu Jiao'er knew whatever he'd given her was something extraordinary. Unwilling to waste it, she suppressed her embarrassment and curled her delicate tongue around his finger, drawing the liquid in.
After a few swirls, her beautiful eyes grew watery with shame, and her entire face flushed crimson.
Yang Kai let out a soft laugh and slowly withdrew his finger, trailing a glistening thread of saliva.
"Nn…!" Hu Jiao'er was mortified, a shy moan escaping her throat.
Yang Kai felt a bit awkward too — he certainly hadn't expected such a strong reaction. The sensation of Hu Jiao'er's soft little tongue still lingered on his fingertip, stirring something in his chest.
He casually wiped his finger on his clothes, scooped out another drop of the Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid, and held it out to Hu Mei'er. "Your turn."
Hu Mei'er turned her head away, bashful and trembling, her voice barely a whisper. "I... I'd rather not..."
This girl…
At a time like this, and she was still fussing over something like this!
"Mei'er, he's giving us something to restore our True Yuan. It's not what you're thinking," Hu Jiao'er had already sat down cross-legged. As twins who shared a deep bond, how could she not know what her sister was thinking? She hurriedly offered an explanation.
"It's really good stuff. Hurry up and take it," Hu Jiao'er added.
Only then did Hu Mei'er glance at Yang Kai, softly murmuring "oh" before opening her mouth and taking his finger inside. She was even shyer than her sister — nothing like the brazen, seductive girl she had been in the past.
"You two go ahead and refine it. I'll stand guard." Yang Kai cleared his throat and planted himself in front of them with a commanding stance.
"Mm." The twin beauties nodded quickly, immediately activating their Shared Spirit Link Art.
Over on the other stone platform, Shen Yi, Tao Yang, and the others were keeping watch against the evil spirits while stealing glances over toward Yang Kai's group.
"Brother Yang's been gone so long — why hasn't he come back yet?" Shen Yi furrowed his brow, puzzled.
Tao Yang chuckled. "Looks like Brother Yang and those girls are having quite the conversation. Those two seem to have no guard against him at all — they're practically standing right on top of each other."
From where they stood, though they couldn't make out faces, they could see the blurred silhouettes clearly enough. The distance between Yang Kai and the Twin Beauties of Charm was no more than three feet. If they were on guard, would they let anyone stand that close?
"Impressive. Looks like Brother Yang really knows his way around women," Shen Yi couldn't help but admire.
"Hmph!" Leng Shan let out a cold snort.
Back in that other dimension, she and Zi Mo had suffered enormously at Yang Kai's hands. She knew full well that this man had a real talent for handling women.
She and Zi Mo had schemed everything out, intending to make Yang Kai wish he were dead. Yet in the end, not only had her hatred toward him lessened — Zi Mo felt the same way. They'd even come to feel a degree of gratitude toward him.
Without some kind of skill, how could he have managed that?
"He's coming!" Shen Yi suddenly exclaimed. Everyone looked up and sure enough, saw Yang Kai flying back alongside the two women.
"Incredible." Tao Yang was genuinely impressed.
In such a short time, he'd gotten those two women to follow him back willingly. Tao Yang knew he couldn't have pulled that off — he probably couldn't even have gotten them to lower their guard, let alone shed their hostility.
On a raised platform not far away, Yu Qing's pupils contracted as he stared unwaveringly at the figures of the Twin Beauties of Charm. An obscene light flickered in his eyes, and a cold, blade-like smile hung at the corner of his lips.
The three had only made it halfway back when something unexpected suddenly stirred below.
