After Su Weiwei and Wuchen were ejected from the Space, a line of text appeared in Weiwei's mind: "The Space is upgrading and can only be entered after ten hours."
Weiwei told Wuchen about this. Wuchen took Weiwei by the hand and said, "Since the Space is upgrading, I'll take you to the back mountain of the Villa and teach you how to set up a magical array. There's also a medicinal spring there, which is very beneficial for refining the body. You and I can soak in the medicinal spring for an hour to rest before I teach you how to set up the array."
Blushing, Weiwei nodded and followed Wuchen toward the back mountain. Along the way, Weiwei's mind wandered somewhat; the thought of soaking in the medicinal spring together with Wuchen made her heart flutter like a little rabbit in her chest.
When they reached the edge of the medicinal spring, the surroundings were shrouded in a faint mist, and the moisture in the air was filled with the subtle fragrance of herbs. Wuchen stepped into the medicinal spring first and then reached out a hand to Weiwei. After a moment of hesitation, Weiwei placed her hand in his palm. As the warm spring water submerged her body, Weiwei felt all her fatigue instantly melt away.
After soaking for a while, Weiwei felt a warm glow throughout her body, and her strength seemed to be slowly increasing. At that moment, a brightly colored little butterfly fluttered past them. Curious, Weiwei reached out to catch it, but she accidentally stumbled and plunged headfirst into Wuchen's arms.
With their eyes locked, the atmosphere instantly grew ambiguous. Wuchen's gaze turned tender as he gently pulled Weiwei into a tighter embrace. Weiwei's face flushed even deeper, and her heartbeat grew increasingly rapid.
"Weiwei, let's practice Dual Cultivation!" Wuchen murmured breathlessly in Weiwei's ear. Swept up in the passion, Weiwei nodded.
Overjoyed, Wuchen trembled slightly as he unfastened the outer garments from Weiwei's body. As the gauze robe slipped away, a scarlet bodice wrapped around her snow-white, voluptuous breasts. Wuchen kissed her all the way down, their burning bodies intertwining within the medicinal spring. Even as Wuchen made passionate love to the one he adored, he guided Weiwei, teaching her how to circulate and share their Spiritual Power to elevate their cultivation.
Captivated by this magical and pleasurable experience—the last time they practiced Dual Cultivation had been under unknowing circumstances when they were strangers, but this time they had bared their hearts to each other, their bodies and minds already united to the point of a communion of souls—they were not only combining physically, but their Divine Senses were also intersecting. Through the collision and union of their flesh, their Spiritual Power surged at a rapid speed, transforming into spiritual liquid that flowed through both of their bodies.
Then, the Spiritual Energy around the back mountain rushed toward the two of them crazily, and a multicolored Twin Lotus blossomed in the air above their lovemaking. Witnessing this strange phenomenon, Wuchen knew this was the result of him and Weiwei achieving a meeting of minds through Dual Cultivation. He hurriedly cast a Barrier to shield them from view so outsiders couldn't see.
After who knows how long, the two slowly separated. Weiwei's face was as red as a fully ripened apple, and she nestled shyly in Wuchen's arms. At that moment, the multicolored Twin Lotus gradually dissipated, and the frantically surging Spiritual Energy around the back mountain grew calm.
Wuchen gently stroked Weiwei's long hair and said tenderly, "Weiwei, after this Dual Cultivation session, our Cultivation Bases have both improved tremendously. Our two Spaces have also merged and become shared, turning into our Natal Space. As long as our Nascent Divinities remain undestroyed, the Space exists within our consciousness. This also means that for all our lives and generations to come, we are husband and wife acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao."
Su Weiwei touched her chest. Half of the jade pendant was gone. When she sensed it, she found that the pendant was now floating within her Divine Sense, and a childish, youthful voice rang in her head: "Master, I am the Artifact Spirit of the Space. Since you and the male master have united in body and soul and share the Space, no matter how far apart you are, you can meet as long as you return to the Space. Now the upgrade of the Space is complete, and shortly you and the male master can enter the Space to check it out."
Weiwei looked up at Wuchen, and Wuchen caressed her vermilion lips. "I heard the Artifact Spirit's words as well."
"Could it be that we practiced Dual Cultivation for ten hours?" Weiwei asked, her small mouth agape in shock. Wuchen was truly something else...
Seeing Weiwei's adorable, incredulous expression, Wuchen chuckled softly. "Does Weiwei not believe her husband's stamina? Shall we go for another round?"
Weiwei hurriedly covered her face. It was too embarrassing; they had actually practiced Dual Cultivation for ten hours! Could it really be that in cultivation, days and nights blended into one? Her poor back...
Right at that moment, a commotion suddenly sounded from outside the Barrier, as if quite a few people were rushing toward the back mountain. Wuchen frowned slightly, quickly dressed Weiwei, used the fire element to dry both of their clothes, and looked toward the outside of the Barrier with vigilance.
"Who is coming? Could they have been attracted by the strange phenomenon just now?" Weiwei asked with some worry. Wuchen squeezed Weiwei's hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I am here." With that, he retracted the Barrier, preparing to deal with the uninvited guests about to arrive.
A group of mysterious people dressed in black appeared before them with hostile gazes. The leader sneered, "Well, well. You two are here practicing Dual Cultivation to boost your Cultivation Base and even triggered such a strange phenomenon. You'll make the perfect cauldrons for us."
Wuchen stood in front of Weiwei and said coldly, "You're courting death. What people are you?"
The leader's Cultivation Base was actually at the Integration Stage, a full tier higher than Wuchen's. Without answering, he directly attacked Wuchen, and the others swarmed forward as well.
Wuchen circulated his Spiritual Power and engaged them in battle. Weiwei was not one to fall behind either; she summoned her own magic treasure to join the fight. However, these mysterious people were not to be underestimated. They cooperated seamlessly, and for a moment Wuchen and Weiwei actually struggled to hold their ground.
At that very moment, the Space Artifact Spirit suddenly spoke: "Masters, you can enter the Space to temporarily take refuge. Once I upgrade the Space's defense, we can go back out and wipe them all out in one sweep." Wuchen and Weiwei exchanged a glance and instantly entered the Space.
As soon as they stepped inside, they felt that the Spiritual Energy within the Space was even denser, and the Space itself had grown larger—there was actually an ocean now, and the distant mountains were clearly visible, while the defense had also become unbreakable. After making brief adjustments, they reappeared before the mysterious people. This time, they held absolute certainty...
Wuchen and Weiwei reappeared, their presence completely different from before. When the mysterious people saw them emerge, they were startled at first, but quickly resumed their arrogance.
The Integration Stage cultivator leading them attacked once more, sending a wave of black Spiritual Power sweeping toward Wuchen and Wuchen and Weiwei. Wuchen quickly formed seals with both hands, and a golden shield instantly appeared, blocking the black spiritual wave right back.
Seizing the opportunity, Weiwei summoned a swarm of spiritual butterflies that lunged at the mysterious people. Wherever the spiritual butterflies went, the mysterious people were struck down one after another, crying out in agony. Seeing this, the leader let out a furious roar, his entire body's Spiritual Power erupting as he tried to break through the spiritual butterflies' encirclement.
Right then, the Space Artifact Spirit suddenly struck, shooting a powerful burst of energy directly from the Space that hit the leader head-on. The shockwave sent him flying backward, vomiting a mouthful of blood. Seeing their leader injured, the rest of the mysterious people instantly lost their composure.
Seizing the opportunity, Wuchen and Weiwei launched a joint attack and defeated them one by one. After the battle ended, the two smiled at each other. Through this battle, their coordination had grown even more seamless, and their bond deepened further. They decided to continue cultivating, explore more mysteries of the Space, and embrace the challenges of the future.
