"Did you know he was a cultivator?" Venice whispered to her friend, unable to contain her excitement as she stole a glance at Kevin sitting with crossed legs in the back seat.
"Yeah," Sia nodded, gazing outside the bus, perhaps trying to find an escape from the topic.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Venice asked, steering the bus to the right with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
"I only found out yesterday myself. And let's just say he's not your average cultivator," Sia replied, a hint of annoyance in her voice. "He's like a cultivator who wandered off the path and ended up in the land of perversions."
Venice's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but her excitement remained undeterred. "But hey, he's still a cultivator! Can't he help us become cultivators, too?"
Sia burst into laughter, almost snorting at the absurdity of the situation. "Oh, Venice, my dear friend, let's not get our hopes up too high. It's not like he's going to sprinkle us with magical cultivation dust and turn us into powerful cultivators overnight."
Venice's enthusiasm deflated a bit, but she wasn't ready to give up just yet. "Well, maybe he can at least give us some tips or techniques?"
Sia playfully rolled her eyes. "Sure, maybe he can teach us his secret technique called 'Cultivation through Questionable Activities.' We'll be doing yoga poses while reciting ancient incantations and balancing teacups on our heads. Oh, the wonders of the cultivator lifestyle!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut still not wanting her friend to dream these false scenarios, Sia looked at her friend with a serious face and continued, "He will never give us anything other than money because it's the only things they can earn even in their sleep. Meeting a cultivator generous enough to share cultivation techniques with women like us in exchange for sex is a once-in-a-lifetime chance."
Hearing Sia's words, Venice's morale dropped a bit. She knew she wasn't beautiful anymore, and even in her younger days, she wasn't attractive enough to catch the attention of a cultivator. But she couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope.
Sia noticed her friend's mood dampening and tried to console her. "Don't worry. Just having sex with him and receiving his semen can benefit our bodies. So, try to please him as much as you can, and maybe he'll be happy enough to keep you as a booty call, like me.....at least."
As she uttered those words, Sia's self-respect plummeted into the gutter. She felt pathetic even listening to herself and wondered how her friend would react to such advice.
To her surprise, Venice nodded in understanding and said, "So, that's why you kissed me, even if you were disgusted by it?"
Sia nodded in astonishment, unable to believe that her once simple and cute friend, Venice, would be so tolerant of this path.
"But why are you doing this? You don't need money like me, and weren't you saving money to buy a cultivation technique?" Venice asked, aware that her friend was wealthy and had expressed her desire to purchase a cultivation technique.
The cultivation technique could be bought with units, but they were quite expensive. The one Sia wanted to buy cost 5 million units and was just a high earth rank. Even some low-level cultivators had to work hard for two years to earn that much money.
"Yeah, I am going to buy it, but it doesn't hurt to know someone who's already a cultivator. He can help me gather more information and provide assistance in exchange for me following his orders for now," Sia explained, envisioning the day when she would finally be able to start her cultivation journey.
Venice fell silent, contemplating her own situation. She, too, had thought about saving money for a cultivation technique, but at 38 years old, it seemed challenging. However, she was determined to do it for the sake of her two girls.
As she looked at Kevin with a resolute gaze, Venice thought about the financial opportunities she could explore with him. She even considered Sia's claim about the "beneficial" effects of his semen on her body, thinking it might make her stronger and allow her to work in the mines.
Both women were lost in thoughts of their future, which now seemed intertwined with Kevin, whose own future remained uncertain.
Kevin absorbed a significant amount of yin qi from Venice. Yin qi accumulated when women abstained from sex, gradually building up in their cores. Sia didn't have much of it due to her active sex life even before Kevin entered the picture. However, Venice seemed to have gone without sex for quite some time, resulting in an abundance of yin qi. Kevin had already used half of it and had successfully opened his first meridian fully.
The wave of energy coursed through his entire body, and he didn't stop there. Utilizing the remaining yin energy, he targeted the gate of the second meridian, known as Du meridian.
With more than half of the yin energy still circulating freely, Kevin had a high chance of success. He focused his efforts and successfully opened his second meridian, causing another energy wave to surge through his body.
After a moment, Kevin opened his eyes and felt his vision sharpen and his hearing become clearer. Curious about his newfound strength, he clenched his fist and experienced a rush of power coursing through his muscles. A wide smile formed on his lips as he reveled in the sensation.
With excitement, Kevin observed the two women engrossed in conversation and glanced out the window, realizing that they had arrived in the city and were just a couple of minutes away from their stop. Sporting a wide smile, he approached the women.
Sia sensed Kevin walking towards them and turned back, surprised to see a noticeable glow on his face. She caught herself staring and quickly composed herself, as Kevin noticed her puzzled expression and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShaking off her surprise, Sia shook her head, indicating that there was nothing. However, Venice couldn't contain her astonishment and blurted out, "You've become quite handsome, sir!"
"Really? Have I?!" Kevin exclaimed, his eyes widening as he caught a glimpse of his reflection. To his amazement, he noticed his skin glowing, appearing smoother and sporting a healthier rosy complexion.
"It will be a little easier now..." Kevin muttered to himself, admiring his newfound handsomeness in the mirror.
Venice, who had been distant earlier, now spoke in a casual tone. "What will be easier, sir?"
"Nothing, and don't call me sir. Just call me Kevin, and I'll do the same for you," he replied, tearing his gaze away from the mirror. "Sia, are you free after this?"
Sia hesitantly nodded, curious about his intentions. Kevin smiled and said, "Great! Then let's go to the cultivation association together. I don't know the way."
Sia couldn't help but wonder what Kevin had in mind, but she decided to keep her question to herself for now.
Venice, however, didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Why are you going to the cultivation association, si- Kevin?"
Kevin's smile grew slightly wider as he replied, "To register as a cultivator, of course."
"Why register there? Won't they take half of your spoils and also charge money just for registration?" Sia inquired, drawing from her research on the subject, fueled by her own aspirations to embark on a cultivation journey someday.
