  The door to her room smmed shut behind her, and soon Daiyu and I were on her bed, the cool feeling of the white silk sheets against our bare skin somehow thrilling, promising what was to e. I couldn’t help but gnce around, despite having been in her room before. It was just like Daiyu’s personality, straightforward, and elegant, mostly in bd white, though she did like the creen as well.

  Seeing me looking, Daiyu, o me on the bed, leaned in, bck eyes as moist as her damp lips, and kissed me. Sooongue robing me passionately, and I respoangling mih hers, pulling her into my arms, the white and gold dress she wore making her appear like a fairy. Just like in the Cultivation novels. Daiyu’s definitely worth the title of jade beauty.

  “So, you want to Dual Cultivate?” I asked, and she hough she seemed a little annoyed.

  “Of course. Growing stronger is important. If I am to keep up with you, stay by your side, I rength. But I also enjoy the intimacy, the closeness.” She kissed me again, on the forehead this time. “I would not have you think I am only ied in what I gain. You hesitated enough.”

  “ you bme me?” I asked, huggiightly. Daiyu’s chest wasn’t massive, but for her build it was rge enough, and she usually wore Cultivator-style robes which were rather tight, emphasising what she had. “You were suddenly put in my care, and… like Hinata, you’re… well, ye made it a little unfortable for me.”

  “Why?” Daiyu asked, genuinely puzzled. “Wait, no, I think I uand.” Daiyu let out a slightly aggrieved sigh. “Seeing your lively sister, who is very carefree, and the women from the training school of various ages… unlike in the world of Cultivation, the young are enced to eschew weighty burdens, to grow slowly, to enjoy themselves. But I… I am not such. As I have told you, sihe day I could walk I have trained. Martial arts, Cultivation, the Six Noble Pursuits. I have never been a child, for Cultivators do not have a childhood. Although…”

  “Yes?” I prompted. There’s always somethio discover about women. They always have more hiddehs, and even when I think i’ve figured them out, look away for a day, even an hour, and they’ll have ged. Perhaps now I’ve realised that, I’ve truly bee a riajuu?

  “Now is hardly the time, the situation here in Japan is not settled. But seeing Asha, it makes me think of our own children. I want them to follow in my footsteps, just as I followed in my father’s, and his parents before him. But I also do not wish to deny them the joys of an ordinary life, a childhood, such as your sister, Eri, Kana and others had. To that end…” Her dark eyes met mine, her gaze ho and ear. “…I will be strict, yet also kind. But we have strayed from the topic.” She kissed my forehead tenderly again. “I was capable of seeing for myself, deg for myself. You did not force me. I am a woman of great pride. Perhaps many men would find that off-putting. With my status as a prodigy, aiful one…” She smiled wryly, and I fond myself ughing. Daiyu certainly isn’t modest. But she’s earhe right not to be.

  “…I was well used to envy from women, and jealousy from men. Many wished to dominate me, tame me… but I am Zhao Daiyu, I bend to none I do not choose. You worried that it was fast, that we did not know each other, but as I said… I was alone in the world, cast adrift oides, and I washed ashore into your hands. It was clearly the will of the Heavens. No Cultivator would question such. And…” This time she kissed my lips, and deeply her tongue probed. She took my hand, pg it on her chest, ae the white cloth in the way I groped it, and her mouth opened a little as we kissed, leaking out a pleased, aroused moan. I restrained myself to just a little fondling though, and as we parted, a thin bridge of saliva momentarily linking our tongues, I felt she looked at me a little reproachfully, before her serious demeanour returned.

  “…besides, you were to my taste. I fess, I did not see my Dao panion as someoo be shared, but I also have ao the possibility, sidering that es are not unusual in the Sects. Father ook one, he was devoted to mother, but… I am not my father. her are you.”

  “I promise I’m not flicted anymore.” I reassured her. “Holy, it’s been a lot to get my head around. Eri, I thought I’d spend my life with her, but… holy, I also loved Shaeu, but lied to myself. Holy, I lie to myself a lot. I’d loved Shiro too, even before this, but never admitted it to anyone, least of all myself. But things have ged. Hinata came into my life like a bolt of lightning, chaotid fun, and theer another I accepted mirls. I felt bad, especially for Eri, but…”

  “But Eri is strohan you believed. You still ot help but see her as that small child you had to protect. I uand her well.” Daiyu cluded. “But surely your thoughts have ged?”

  “Yeah, holy, feeling bad is just selfishness, to make me feel better. I know it, I have to own it. I chose everyone, because I wao. I may have felt pressured, like with Hinata, but… I chose to give in. Therefore I will accept it. And I want everyoo be happy, and…” I’m not selfless, nobody is. The truth is… “…holy, I want you all. Perhaps it’s greed like that why I might be suitable to be Astral Emperor, despite my misgivings. But… I refuse to just take. So as the numbers of girls within my arms increase, I worry that each of you won’t receive the full share of love you need. And… I may be determined, but I already know there will be more who I fall for, more who fall for me… it’s only going to get worse.”

  “It is.” Daiyu agreed. “But fortunately, you have no weak little flowers, who o to look good in a vase, to be pced on a shelf and fotten. Even those who would be ordinary, those you sidered young girls… Eri, Kana, Hinata, Aiko… they all strive to bee their best selves. No, to traheir limits, ater. And not just for you, but for their own pride. I respect them. They may not be Cultivators, not yet, but they live the essence of it. And… we are not merely ordinary. Shaeu, Hyath, Asha… you as well. You will live hundreds of years, perhaps more, if not sin in battle. I too… I have now seen a Saint, false as he was, and in the visions, true ones. And we have even tasted the edges of a Tribution above Sainthood. I have seen the heights of Mount Tai, and while the distance is great, the drhtening, to know it exists, and that others will help me walk that path, fills me with anticipation. Now, si is the day of my birth, and you agreed to listen to all my wishes and whims… I shall be brief, as I have other things to do. But… remember, in the world of Cultivation, he who has the biggest fists makes the rules, and all problems yield to power. You are a dragon, Akio. Not meant to be bound by mortal limitations. Simply grow stronger, and find a way to satisfy us, all of us, those with you now, and those yet to e.”

  “I know.” I agreed. “I’m certainly not the fool I was, am I?” I asked, and Daiyu merely smiled slightly, a touch mog, and I preteo be angry.

  “Oh, make a fool of me will you? Then… you have to be punished!”

  “Really?” Daiyu giggled teasingly, showing her hidden softer side when we were alone. “If you ! I am proud of my durability, and I heal fast.”

  Her eyes were bright, and I took the bait. I grabbed at her chest again, squeezing more firmly, and she let out a gentle moan. My knee slid up her body, pushing up the long skirt of her robe, revealing her slender, jade-like thighs, and the rather risqué bck panties she wore. Seeing those further infmed my passions, and one hand reached down, tig her ihighs, while my other hand crept to her bottom, kneading and groping the smooth flesh, which was rapidly being hot to the touch.

  Daiyu’s breath was ing faster, and we locked lips again. Pulling at her panties, I slid them down a little, a scattering of droplets of sour-smelliar. Seeing I had noticed, her skin flushed, but her movements grew furiously passionate. Pressed against me, her body winding sinuously, she reached down and tugged down my pants, my already hard cock popping free. For a moment she froze in surprise and I ughed, kissing her pyfully, lightly tapping her bare bottom. “Why are you so shocked? You’ve seen it before. More tha.”

  “I know.” Daiyu pouted, showing a rich series of expressions in the heat of our intimacy. “Regardless, I am still g experiehough I do strive to be the best, as I told you before. Be it in Cultivation, martial arts or love, I shall soar like the phoenix to the Heavens!” she promised, making good on her words by gently grasping my manhood. One hand stroked the gns, tingling on my sensitive flesh, while the ripped my shaft, tightening and loosening as if it was her pussy, as she stroked me.

  Unwilling to be undone, I uhe toggles that held her robe-like dress shut, baring her breasts, a bck bra. I tugged, and her breasts spilled free, her nipples already pink and hard. With an expression of delight I started sug on one, biting it gently, and she moaned softly, though she didn’t stop her hands. Shooting me a reproachful look, she opened her mouth to speak, only for her words to be swallowed by another, lasp. I rolled my tongue around her nipple, gently stroking it, sug on her pale flesh, leaving rosy kiss marks behind, and while I was doing that, my fingers spread her pussy, more droplets of love ar falling. I scooped a drizzle out, my finger momentarily darting inside her, and then began to wetly polish the bean of her clitoris, her skin flushing with arousal.

  “I… will not be outdone!” Daiyu gasped, taking on my challenge. She pulled my cock towards her entrah her small hands, and for a moment I thought she was going to start having sex, only for her to cmp her legs around my body, her thighs sandwig my dick. I could feel her panties rubbing against me, and also the hot feel of her flesh. With a mischievous smile she showed off her flexibility, rog her lower body while now using one hand to rub my gns, the other to stroke my face tenderly, even as I toyed with her breasts.

  “Where did you learn this?” I asked, lig her nipples o time, leaving them damp with my saliva. My lower body felt hot and heavy, the smooth feeling of her thighs, bined with other sensations from her slightly lowered panties driviowards the peak. She opened her mouth a little, tongue peeking through, seeking a kiss, and I obliged, and when we parted, she giggled, answering me happily.

  “It just seems iing. It is like Cultivation. Some things are just meant to work, but… there are endless variations.” Her thighs tightened, and she teased me further. “I thought you were going to punish me? It seems… you are about ready to burst… uh?” She let out a gasp as I pulled her up into my embrace, my enged dick throbbing mercilessly. Seating her on my p, I gently parted her folds, my cock sliding into her pussy, her warm, sticky walls throbbing. As she eed, her skin turned bright pink and she started to sweat.

  “So forceful. I hardly hate it though…” Daiyu whispered into my hear, her breath as hot as her body. “…eventually I would have had to find a panion, or if not, to marry purely to pass on my bloodlio offspring. Perhaps… oh…” I was rubbing her clit still, and that loosened her up, and with one final thrust, scattering precum and her love juices, I was buried to the root, and her expressio sck for a moment, as she fidgeted restlessly. She then recollected herself, tinuing. “…yes, perhaps I would have been like Su Caihong, from the visions of the ailed fox we shared. A single dalliao make a child, and then lonely. I…” Having recovered from the deep peion, her breath now more even, she slowly began to slide up and down on me, her tight ass spping against my thighs, while she guided my free hand to her breasts again. “…am happy it does not have to be that way. So…”

  “So?” I enced her.

  “So no more foolish thoughts about whether I am happy.” she insisted, softly kissing me. I could feel her care and affe through it, and when we parted, I shook my head, even as she slid up and down on my cock, trying to find the areas inside her that gave her the most pleasure. Occasionally she would tremble, eyes widening, and then ge her movement patterns, f my dick to rub her pleasingly. “I am. And you are. How could… ahn… you not be? With… um, ahn… me?” She was now starting to gasp and moan. “Being… uh… on top in… ahn, ahn… trol is very… uh, ahn… satisfying!”

  “I don’t worry, not really, not anymore.” I shook my head. “Not about whether it’s right, ood for you.” I started to move my own body, teasing her. “In trol you say? I’m still punishing you!”

  Wet sps sounded, and Daiyu groaned. Seeing that her pleasure was intensifying, I realised she had guided me to the spihe most sexual pleasure, and so I probed at it, moving fast and them slow, alternating, rubbing inside her. My own body was shivering, and I could feel my seed boiling within me, eager to dye her insides.

  “Your punishments are… ahh… lewd but… ahn… so kind!” Daiyu managed, expression sck. “I… am… flying away! Ahh… s!” Daiyu vulsed, the rich st of her sweat aars tugging at my nose. Her pussy vulsed, g down on me, and only my iron willpower stopped me cumming straight away. I had something to say first, but I was also eager to release myself, indulging in Daiyu’s body, so I made it quick, tightening the muscles in my ass to prevent me leaking.

  “Daiyu, I know I’m the one for you, for everyone. I ’t trust anyone else to make you happy. But… now I have greater worries, because… having accepted everyone in my heart, and… likely accepting others iure, I want to be just as good for all of you as you are for me.” I admitted it to myself now. I was selfish and greedy, but it did definitely e from a pce of love. Some loves grew over a long time, like my feelings for Eri, from a childhood friend to a sister to a lover, whereas others could spark quickly, through shared battles and trials. Or even a fsh at a first instant, like Hinata insists she fell for me. All love is as valid as any other, so long as we work at it… With my words I sped up, each thrust shaking Daiyu’s still sensitive body, the afterglow of her asm still lingering. Despite that, and her cute little moans and gasps which turned me on even more, her damp bck eyes were looking at me curiously and lovingly. Yeah, Daiyu was right. She was meant to wash up on my shore. And nobody will take her from me now…

  “I… love you, Daiyu!” I promised, one final thrust apanied by a long, soft groan as my body vulsed.

  “It… ahn… grer and hotter inside… uh… me.” Daiyu muttered dreamily. “My insides… so warm… and full!”

  I gushed out a torrent of my semen, far in excess of what a normal body should have. Daiyu’s insides were twitg, her womb shivering as I poured it inside her. Soon it was trig out around the edges of my still iron-hard dick, and I thrust into her a few more times, wringing damp groans from her, until I finally slid free, cloudy white liquid spttering her paill worn arouhighs. Lying down beside her, I pulled her into my embrace, finishing my thought, stroking her hair and wiping the sweat from her brow. Although… With a mischievous grin I began to toy with her sensitive clit and sodden pussy again, keeping her fire burning, and she gave me a knowing look, though she was far from displeased.

  “Thank you, Daiyu.” I kissed her sweaty forehead, tasting her unique st. “As always, that was magical. But as I was saying… my worry now isn’t whether I’m right to have you all in my life, just… how I make sure that you are all as happy as you be? It keeps me up at night sometimes. I think even g Earth as an Astral Emperor would be an easier task…”

  Arms around me, Daiyu snorted. “Liar. We are all very easy to please.” Daiyu’s stamina had recovered quickly, as befitting such a tough girl with a regeive Favour. “Everyone is making an effort. Yes, I wish to spend time with you. As do Eri and the others. But today they ceded to me, as I will cede when it is fair. We all know we have to be reasonable. You are our spoils, and when dividing you, we must make sure everyos enough. Besides…” She giggled, her breath ing in soft gasps, as her pussy dribbled out more of my cum, pulsating as my fingers aroused it anew. “…you mao double the time end with you, with your subtle bodies being twihat is progress.” Her giggles were somewhat high-pitched.

  “True.” I agreed. “Now…” I picked up Daiyu and slid behind her. I pulled down her panties and tossed them aside, before stripping off her dress, which was sadly now covered i and other liquids. She’ll o ge befoing out tonight… “We’re not done, are we?”

  Daiyu wiggled her ass suggestively, turning her head to look at me. “No, I am not yet satisfied. While it would be o spend many days like this in bli…ss…” She sucked in a breath as my dick slid inside her again, her insides now sopping with lubrig fluids, both mine and hers. Toug her belly gently, she smiled. “…we ot, until we have secured Earth against all our enemies. When that day es… all of us together will celebrate. I hope you have… ahn…” I began to move, dick sliding in and out, probing different spots from before, her body responding. “…the stamina… uh, ahh, for us… ahn… all!”

  “I’m a man, of course I’ll manage.” I snorted, amused, spping her bottom pyfully, the sound ringing out. That made Daiyu tighten on me, so I did it a few more times, until her bottom was faintly pink from other than arousal. “Besides, isn’t it you whs about your staying power?”Daiyu smiled challengingly at me, and her ass twitched, as she tightened her own muscles, g hard on me. As I groaned in pleasure, her smile turriumphant.

  “Try me and see!” she snickered, bang on one foot in the doggy-style pose on the bed, her other foot tig my balls. “I shall be the st woman… standing…”

  “Challenge accepted!” I grinned, attag her insides with a far more rapid pace than our first sex of the day. Not wanting to be outdone, Daiyu’s foot caressed me, and I marvelled at how agile she was, her toes seeming almost as dexterous as fingers as she fondled me. I used my free hand that wasn’t embrag her to py with her clit and asshole, even sliding a finger in a little, loosening her up. Daiyu’s gasps were hoarse, but she refused to relent, and with a cheeky grin, actually used a little Qi. Her long hair twisted around my body, teasing me gently, and with a smile I decided to call her bluff. Pulling out, ign her brief moan of disappoi, I grabbed her long, flowing dark locks that had been brushing against my now bare upper body, her hair having somehow removed my shirt. When it es to Qi trol, she’s got more talent than I do with aether, definitely. If ahe prodigy here, it’s her…

  “What are you…?” She began, only to look surprised as I ed her hair around my did started stroking. Daiyu released more Qi, so I was curious, and my Eye shone, and I could see that it was some sort of teique to turn hair into a o she’s using it this way?

  “I’m going to…” I cried out moments ter, o hold baatch with her. I usually enjoyed seeing the girls drowning in pleasure more than feeling my own, but Daiyu was being cheeky, so teasiugged at my feelings, making me feel a little sadistic.

  “Such a waste…” Daiyu pursed her lips, before her eyes went wide. Moments ter I ughed, the crude hair-job erformed together not feeling the best, but it was something amusing, so I e heless. The evidence of that was the spray I cascaded through her silken strands, and soon her hair was stickly and clumping up. The jet had also bsted her fad upper body, beads of white along her breasts, ned face. With a delicate tongue, she licked up my cum, swallowing it, before looking down at her hair, a momentary expression of annoyan her face.

  “We are supposed to be going out. This will take a lot of effort to…” I cut off her words with a kiss, heedless of her dirty face. Our toangled, and my incredible Fortitude allowed me to remain at full attention. Slipping my dito her pussy again, I started moving, bodies spping together rhythmically. As we separated after one such thrust, I grinned, and whispered to her that I would help her herself ter.

  “See that you do.” Daiyu moaned, my movements provoking her into retaliating, shaking her own body, making eay thrusts deep arating. “I… ahn… have no wish to be… uh… seen in such a state by… ahn… any but you or my… sisters.”

  “Sure thing.” I promised, my words hot and fast. Wiping some of the spilled liquids from her pussy into her ass, I khem in, fingers spreading her open. I slid out of her pussy and forced my rge member intht hole. Her body protested a little, but with her Favour such disfort was only momentary.

  “I feel… empty down there.” Daiyu pined, so I slid multiple fingers into her drooling slit, stirring her up, and as I pounded both her ass and her pussy, she quickly came again, this time her love ars practically spurting ay legs. She flushed, embarrassed, but I gave her e. My fingers drove her wild, not able to reach her deeper, most sensitive parts but still teasio ecstasy, and her ass vulsed, gripping me so hard I thought my cock would be cut off. That triggered my own ejacution, and as I pulled her tight, my fingers poking at her, narrowing her further, I sprayed her insides as if with a hose.

  “Not so empty now?” I pointed out, grinning. With an effort, I pulled out even as I was cumming, spttering her legs, and thrust in to where my fingers were a moment before. I speared her secret spot, my dick pushing against the entrao her womb, even as I was still cumming, and more liquid flooded her.

  “Are you… that eager… to give Asha’s children some… siblings?” Daiyu panted when she came down from her own high, looking at me with mock accusation. She led into my chest, her body a lewd sight, cum seeping from her pussy and ass in copious amounts, her hair and body a sodden mess. If anyone else saw this se they’d never imagine I was able to do all this by myself…

  “One day.” I promised. “One day. But probably not now.” We kissed again, this time more rexed, tender nibbles on each other. “So, have I tired you out? We still haven’t Cultivated?”

  Daiyu grinned. “I did not want you to think I am merely ied i as a means of strengthening myself.” She patted her belly. “No, I love it for what it is, even if you overfilled me, brute. I will have no room for dinner.”

  “It’s a different stomach.” I promised, ughing at her joke, and she smiled warmly.

  “Indeed. A stomach for love is impossible to fill. It only wants more and more.” She pced her head on my shoulder, peering at me. “I do wish for a child, but perhaps now is not the time. But yes… we shall Cultivate. And this time… I believe you will be far more.”

  “My be is simply having you.” I promised, and she flushed, this time with shyness, before spping my ass firmly, hard enough to leave a handprint.

  “Ftterer. Worse, I believe you mean it. It makes me feel like all is well with this world, but... I am not satisfied with only receiving. Yin and Yang, I must give as well as receive, to make us a true Dao partnership. Now, I have caught my breath. Are you ready?”

  Seeieasing, lustful expressioe the fact I had already had three bouts of sex, I found my cock standing to attention once more. “Always.” I promised, remembering my initial fumbling sex with Eri. I’m not sure whether being so experienow is a good thing, but… there’s nht man alive who would hate this… Laying Daiyu dowly on the bed, my Eye glowed, and as I opened her pussy once more, dick sliding in, my worries seemed to fade away, only Daiyu on my mind now…

  ***

  “You feel it?” Daiyu asked me. We were pressed against each other, holding each other close like the lovers we were. The sex we were having now was a little slower, exulting in the feelings of each other’s bodies, each time I moved, pierg deep into Daiyu’s body, or she slid up and down, tightening on me, was not just lovemaking, but something more. Her left hand was on my heart, and mine on hers, her hard nipple a little nub against my palm, and I couldn’t help but squeeze her pert breast greedily. Our foreheads were pressed together, and with each thrust, our lower Chakras joioo, before separating. That’s the key. Yin and Yang momentarily in tact, sparking off and spreading…

  The difference was, this time, Daiyu roviding me a far stroream of Yin energy, the darkness element she had mastered from the Dark Rhyming Tree magnified by the surging passions of our lovemaking, fortified by our Qi, though Daiyu was carrying the Cultivation, my efforts feeble in parison. Seeing my chagrined expression, she bit down on my lip, then thrust her tongue inside, kissing me deeply.

  “None of that!” She muttered when she was done, and our lips parted, heads still toug. “You are still a mere Qi Refiner, my adorable little disciple.” Daiyu teased, having the upper hand for once. “You may outstrip me in many aspects, but if you could Cultivate better than I so soon after learning, then I would be too ashamed to call myself Zhao Daiyu!”

  “In that case, you could always call yourself Oshiro Daiyu…” I muttered, and she froze, eyes wide, face going bnk with surprise. The flow of Qi strengthened, and after a moment she giggled incredulously.

  “That would be what Shiro would call a critical hit, no? I felt my heart quake.” She admitted. “One day. But not yet. My point stands, despite your fttery and misdire. Simply be guided by me. Our Spirit Water also resonates well…” Faint droplets of impurity were leaking from us too, the vile-smelling dark ooze disgusting. Fortunately, both of us had extremely pure physiques, so the amount was miniscule. “…as does the Jade.” She narrowed her eyes as she looked into mihough sadly, it is a of Yang, taining light. Though earth Qi is of the Yin, so… a little circutes. How is it?”

  I tried to draw on the Jade element I was receiving, even as I tio make love to Daiyu, each thrust seeming to shake my own lower body, the sensations transmitted between us. She could feel my pleasure as my cock pushed through her sopping, wriggling insides, while I could feel her exultation as her body ried open, my dick caressing her deepest folds. Using a Split Thought, I tried to isote the Jade, but even Daiyu produced little, so what was sent to me, as a Yang element with a Yin root, it was feeble, uo activate my abilities. “Not enough, I’m afraid. Though that’s not a bad thing.”

  “Why?” she asked in surprise, and at my sudden grin, she flushed, already uanding. We kissed again, this time it was my turn to pyfully nibble on her lips and tongue, and as we separated, spit scattering, I sped up my thrusts, driving us closer to climax again.

  “Simple. Because we’ll have to keep going until we Rank up some Skills. What a shame, right?” I winked, and Daiyu scowled, though it was one of amusement, and her body jerking with eay motions showed how much she was enjoying our sex.

  “A shame? We… have other pns… ahn, for ter, uh… do we not?”

  “We do, so… we’d better make the most of this.” I decred boldly. My hand tightening on her chest, feeling her heartbeat, and moments ter we were g out together, asms synised, Daiyu feeling as if she was blowing out a hot stream of light, at the same time as her body drank my light in greedily, while I felt a brace of darkness, feeling as if something within me was shuddering, gulping in rather than spraying out, and my body shimmered with light…

  ***

  “I am satisfied. To aent.” Daiyu’s bck eyes peered into mine, her hair spread out over our naked bodies like a cloak. It felt unfortable and clumpy thanks to my earlier teasing, but there was definitely something amazing about lying there naked with a beautiful girl, having her use your arm as a pillow.

  “I didn’t expect you to gain too much, unfortunately.” I stroked her head with the arm she wasn’t clutg iight embrace, and her eyes narrowed, tent. “You’re already so skilled. At least your Dual Cultivator Css and Teique both reached Rank three.”

  “Yes, small gains grow inte powers. I have discovered that from watg the others.” Daiyu agreed. “Even those with little strength are growing rapidly. I did hope for more though. For you as well.”

  “Yeah, if I’m going to learn Jade element, it’s up to you.” I teased her pyfully, kissing her nose, cheeks and forehead, before sliding my lips down lower, but she only tutted.

  “Enough. If you tinue, we will only end up making love again.”

  “Is that so bad?” I smirked, and she shook her head, hair tig me.

  “No, but… I have something else to speak of first. But yains…” she pressed, and I expined.

  “Same as yours, both to Rank three. There simply wasn’t enough of the other elements. But… that’s something we fix.”

  “Yes. Or persistence will prevail. A shame though, I had hoped you would gain more from this.” Daiyu muttered, before surprisih her words. “Dual Cultivation is rather like what you and those of you with lunar Chakras do, is it not?”

  I nodded. “Yeah, it’s simir, but… not the same.”

  “Indeed, for you do not work on Yin and Yang, darkness and light, opposites. But a shared blend. That… that makes me rather jealous. They say that the proud tiger is mighty, but even he ehe dragon flying above. I feel this keenly.”

  “Don’t be. It’s just something that the Fae do…” I began, but her ft look stopped me.

  “Not just the Fae. Eri, Motoko, Natsumi, even Hinata do it as well. Yet I…” she paused, and I filled in the silence.

  “It’s too much of a risk, messing with your Chakra work. You’re a Cultivator, it’s a bit different.” I warned, and Daiyu merely looked at me, unblinking. “Look, I know your Cultivation means everything to you. Why risk damaging your Foundatiohis? Isn’t that too greave a risk for little gain?”

  “Yes, my Cultivation is indeed of utmost importao me. But so are you.” Daiyu promised, and I felt my heart ch. The purity and hoy in her dark eyes made me realise once more that when Daiyu made up her mind to love someone, she would do it wholeheartedly, never holding anything back. Just like her Cultivation, everything Daiyu does is with every fibre of her being. She’s sistently intense, but also… somehow gentle.

  “I want to see the heights beyond the heights. Earth Immortal realm is surely not the end. For if there is ah Immortal, then there should be a Heaven Immortal as well. And perhaps even beyond that. But… even if I fail, if my Cultivation shatters, I shall still have you, no?” She seemed assured of that, and she was right. I would never betray a girl who loved me, that I was certain of. “And g’e’s Favour too. I would hone my strength through other means if I must, but… I believe this is a calcuted risk.”

  “How so?” I was genuinely ied. I didn’t want to make Daiyu do anything dangerous, but I also couldn’t stop her taking risks if she felt they were justified. I was her support, her panion, not her master.

  “Your abilities are profound.” Daiyu pointed out. “Humans do not have lunar Chakras, ordinarily. So you should be uo create suetworks. But… I think that is not absolutely true. I believe you were… fortunate.” Her words were teasing, and I felt my dick harden as I looked at her. Seeing that, Daiyu snorted, her small haly ing my shaft and stroking away.

  “We are talking seriously. You are a lusty o makes me happy though, to be desired. Ho desire, not the disgusting, possessive way I was looked at back at the halls of my Sect. You desire my body and my heart. I shall soothe your fires while we talk.” Her fiwirled, finding new ways to please me, and she tinued her reasoning. “Shaeu created yours at first, but I believe we always had the potential. It is merely shifted in form. I would be the middle Dantian, the Crimson Pace. I know little about it, though records say ba the era of Kunlun, we Cultivators did not merely focus on the lower Dantian, the Golden Stove, and those that did were sidered failures, with weak foundations.”

  I nodded, remembering she had mentiohat before, bidding her tinue, even as her smile was lewd and my breath came in hot gasps, my cock twitg in her hand.

  “I believe that the middle Dantian is a mediator of elemental Qi, much as the Golden Stove refines aetheric Qi, the so-called strengthening elixir. It would tally with what the lunar Chakra does. Especially as, if the lower Dantiaes elixir, the middle creates spirit. No wonder you share your spiritual sehrough synising them. I believe the Chakra works we see… mine, yours, Shaeu’s, those of Yōkai, Fae and others… are all generally simir, yet we only perceive the surface, perhaps a little deeper. There must be an underlying, truly perfee.”

  I had sidered that myself. Shaeu’s f of a lunar Chakra into me had been madness, and only her ily absurd good fortune seemed to have saved the day, that or perhaps the bond we shared through our Oaths and the Fae-Bonded Css. But perhaps it wasn’t as miraculous as it seemed, merely Fortune allowio strike at the right part of my rudimentary work, uhing what was already there, for us to perfect it ter.

  “Despite that, I’m not fident.” I warned, and she giggled, speeding up her hand. She rolled down my body, and gave me a sly wink, opening her delicate mouth.

  “I am. But not a fool. Should you break me, I trust to g’e’s blessing, and my own strength to recover. And we shall summon Shiro and Ta?hā and take all precautions. But… I have seen the peaks…” Her breath tickled my sensitive gns, cool against the precum that was leaking from the tip. “…and I know my foundation is g. Even with your Spirit Water. There are many Cultivators who take the slow and steady path, taking no risks, and many are destined for the summit, but… those that take the correct daring risks are those that challehe very Heavens themselves.”

  “I know, but…” I began, and Daiyu sucked at my dick, lig it greedily. She then released it momentarily.

  “I am going to persuade you, even if I must offer you my body once more.” She winked again, pyfully. “So… see how serious I am!” And with that, she seized my cock, sug on it messily, her teique still clumsy, but she was a quick learner, and soon she was swallowing noisily, my cum trig from her mouth, while I tapped away a message on my phoh my free hand, w why I was such a pushover for my girls…

  ***

  “So, why did you want to see…. me?” Shiro trailed off, looking at the state of the bed and our bodies, sticky with love ar, cum and sweat. “Shit, what the hell have you two been doing?”

  “Is it not obvious?” Daiyu replied, still led naked in my arms, having no shame showing herself in front of Shiro. I suppose she is prepared to show Dual Cultivation to others we are close to, just not men, thankfully, so this isn’t shameful to her. Besides, it shows she’s fortable with the irls, which is a good thing. “First we made love, then we Dual Cultivated. But I found myself unsatisfied. I am a greedy woman, all Cultivators are by nature. I want it all. Why, are you jealous?”

  “Aki would be upset if I wasn’t. That’d mean I don’t love him enough.” Shiro winked. “But y sis Shirohime will make allowances, especially on your birthday. So, what’s your pint? As far as I tell, you’ve been breaking in the bed well enough. It looks like a damn bukkake show in here.” As I raised an eyebrow at that, she flushed. “Oh e on, Aki. You know I’m not an idiot. I’ve listeo you guys talk about porn before. It’s not like I waty. If I wanted some fun…” Her blush deepened, and Daiyu ughed gently.

  “Unfortunately, not today. Akio is mihis day. But if you aid me, I will remember this favour.” Daiyu promised.

  “I’m not… I go a few days without sex just fine!” Shiro was very cute when flustered, it didn’t happen that often, so Daiyu and I both ehe moment. “So you never answered me?” She ged the subject as best she could.

  “It is simple. While I do enjoy the feeling of Dual Cultivation, it is not enough. I believe I need my middle Dantian, the Crimson Pace, or perhaps the lunar Chakra. I would most sorely wish to experiehe close blending of spirits. Sharing our Qi through Dual Cultivation, our feelings aions… it is wonderful, but somehow g.”

  Shiro pursed her lips, frowning. “I’m sure it is. Not that I’d know. I don’t get to do either with Aki. Don’t get me wrong, sex is great, and … well, holy, being someone’s girlfriend, even a harem bastard like Aki here, is more satisfying than I ever imagi would be. Just hanging out seems so much more special. But if you are unsatisfied, think of me!”

  “I apologise.” Daiyu did nod sadly. “I did not think, five me.”

  “It’s fine. Fet it. I’m lucky to be alive at all, I guess. But… isn’t that a dumb move? Aki’s got skills, sure, but… this is your Cultivatiht? I doubt there’s too many shortcuts that work.”

  Daiyu nodded, now addressing Tan. “Ta?hā, I would ask for a moment of your time.”

  One of Shiro’s eyes fshed red, and her mouth opened, only for a long, fused pause, as Tan took in the se of Daiyu and me snuggled together in a state of post-coital bliss. After a further silence, she coughed, before speaking. “I was listening. Your Crimson Pace, yes? I am not a Cultivator myself, though I am not unaware of the general points. I have already achieved what Cultivators aim at, barring… no, that is not to be spoken of.” There was a faint buzzing before she ged the subject. “Yes, there are three Dantian, and without all three being active, you will never reach the truest of heights. Though so few, even in the Pantheons, ever see such pinnacles. Even with just your lower Dantian, you could certainly reach Sainthood, or even Immortal, yet the road would be long and hard. With the Crimson Pace… that would be enough to pave your way.”

  “I k.” Daiyu nodded. “So that is why they say those who only use the lower Dantian have g talent. So how does one awaken it?”

  “There are many ways. It has atrophied within the bodies of you young beings, due to insuffit ether density. In time, perhaps your children will once more recover their bloodlines. Bloodline… hmm.” Tan paused. “I see another way. You are Jade-Blooded, are you not?”

  “So they mentio then?” I asked, and Tan nodded, while Shiro spoke.

  “Yeah, we all like to share each other’s triumphs, don’t we?”

  “Akio…” Tan spoke. “Show me her body.”

  “You see everything already.” Shiro quipped, gng at Daiyu’s naked, dishevelled yet somehow glossy body, and Tan silenced her.

  “Enough. We have little time for your amusements, princess. I am serious. Show me, those images of light you made before.”

  Nodding, I peered at her with my Eye, weaving an illusion. Daiyu’s work rojected, and Tan observed it carefully. Out of curiosity, I tried a version of the lower Dantiahe middle o didn’t quite fit right, and I also tried with the lunar Chakra, which did seem to ect better, though the position was wrong. Unless… The Night Moons that Shaeu noerhaps…

  “Tan, the lower Dantiao subsume the root and sacral chakras. So wouldn’t the middle Dantian do the sor plexus a chakras? If so…” I ged the illusion, making a rough image. “Shiro, I get some buffs on Chirurgery? Go all in, I handle some backsh.”

  “If you say so…” Shired with aether, and soon my Chirurgery was temporarily breaking new barriers. As I worked, it was as if I was gathering new insights, and my Eye burned unfortably. I separated out the lower Dantian and my lunar Chakra, looking deep ihe structures, seeing the careful webs of capilries, acupoints, meridians and more that went into them. Yeah, even perfectly adapted works like I give through Chirurgery are just that. Adapted. They may be strong and stable, and likely good enough, but… obviously it wouldn’t be that simple. Tan also gave me some pointers, and the fact that Daiyu had a signifit bloodline would certainly be advantageous, apparently.

  “How about this?” I said at st, everyone peering at my illusory version of Daiyu’s work. “Before, I would have sidered this a masterpiece, but now I see while it’s certainly excellent, it’s far from the best it could be, even with yuidaan.”

  “Of course not.” Tan snorted drily. “I am pleased you finally realise your shortings, Akio. You have talent, I admit it. Few bine such perceptive sight as you have with talents of Chirurgery, coupled with such healing gifts. The bination stands you in august pany. But if it was so easy to create Cultivators, why would there ever be a she?”

  “Yeah, though it’s just like granting my trainees a lunar Chakra won’t actually grant them the Skill until they work on it and stre enough, it offers some bes. So…” I looked at Daiyu beside me. “Are you sure? I’m actually more fident now, and…” I looked at Tan and Shiro before shrugging. “…okay, I still ’t help you out, Shiro. I’m not going into the tangled mess that Tan’s jun with you is, not yet. But I’ve learned a little. One day soon…”

  “I’ll hold you to that, Aki. I want to screw you like the others do.” Shiro teased, and Tan spoke coldly.

  “I think not. Not while I am so ected with you. Make do with what you have.”

  “I fot you’re not ready for that sort of thi…” Shiro snorted, and as they bantered, Daiyu grasped my hand.

  “I uand I will have to adva through my own efforts, but… taking a little help from my Dao panion is hardly cheating. The Heavens will five me, I am sure.” She then took a deep breath. “I will never bme you, even if something goes wrong. If so, I am yet young, we both are. We have time to seek solutions. Perhaps knowledge from Tamamo-no-Mae, or those from Kunlun, if they yet live… and if not, I have already decided I will fight in other ways. If those such as Eri, Kana, Motoko and Natsumi , I do no less.”

  “If you’re sure.” I kissed her tenderly, and with the r of my blood boiling under Shiro’s buffs, I began. “First, we do this…” Aether fshed, fine needles of it clearing out debris and blockages in the meridians, opening acupoints and precisely prig minor Chakras, opening them like lotus flowers. Then came knives, slig away dead, dysfunal areas. Daiyu’s body, much like the first time I had worked on a Dantian, almost seemed to guide me, though I had to resist it at points. The knives of aether also widened some branches, shaving off others, as well as cutting a rather savage hole in Daiyu’s back. She groahis time the pain far greater, and I also had to fight against g’e’s blessing, which was trying to repair her subtle body, though thanks to that I also noticed that when I got something right, it no loried to undo the damage I was inflig. At least I assume so, from my experiend the sense my buffed Chirurgery is giving me…

  “Everything’s like clockwork, like the Orrerys Eri used to admire as a child but could never afford. Every star, every p, every gear, moving in precision. But… sometimes we have to stand in the darko be able to see clearly.” The aether geed by the main seven Chakras blinded and obscured what y behind. Worse, just like the starry skies above, things move. Like Shaeu’s Night Moons. Eri’s now too, I guess.

  Aether was used in ever more creative ways, sculpting and shaping, and I realised to aent that Shapercraft worked as well. I make an item out of my severed arm, so why ’t I make Daiyu an item of sorts? Being an item is just an arbitrary distin, isn’t it? I mean, fantasy is full of tales of living swords, golems and more. The Crimson Pace took shape, though it wasn’t quite right, but I needed slightly more than just that. The position is a little off, but… Guided by feel, Daiyu’s nature as my Fae-Bonded, I clutched her hand. “This is dangerous. I think if we leave it now it’ll likely all be okay, but…” She stopped me with her lips, kissing me desperately. I could feel her trembling a little, her skin hot with nerves, but when she pulled free, our kisses lingering on each other’s lips, she was resolute.

  “I accept no half measures. If I succeed, I shall rejoice. If I fail, you wash away my sorrows…”

  “Sneaky!” Shiro pined, and I shut out all the distras, pulling in adhereoo. I was short of it, which might affect my future pns, though I hopefully had a method to deal with that. But I wouldn’t spare it for Daiyu. With one final effort, I shaped my cutting bdes of aether into a strange, corkscrew-type drill, and made one savage incision through the middle Dantian. Daiyu vulsed, but the spirals of adherehat yered the surgical tool quickly scraped away the damaged areas, iing healing energies. Her Divine Favour reacted, accelerating, and before I could respond the area stabilised, aether and Qi flowing to it, sparking it to life.

  Your Css, Shaper of Flesh and Spirit, has increased from Level Three to Level Five. Damage your Shaping causes to subtle bodies will heal with less scarring and plications. Tools made from Aether, Adherend ???????? to work your will are sharper and more precise. Larger structures and parts of the ???????? ?????? are more easily maniputed.

  Your Skill, Shapercraft, has increased from Rank Two to Rank Three. You have increased perceptiarding the structures of subtle bodies, and you allow slightly imperfect structures to fun properly, though if this is too extreme pliay cause injury. You have a limited ability to join differing foundational points of a subtle body, allowing for unique effects, but when Shapercrafting living matter, the bance must be maintained else reje will occur.

  Your Css, Master of Many Crafts, has increased from Level Seven to Level Eight…

  The messages bring ay vision showed I had achieved something, but what mattered was Daiyu, so my Eye shone all the brighter, and as further letters scrolled ay vision, I let out a slight sigh of relief, releasing my held breath…

  Crude Middle Dantian Rank 1. The Middle Dantian, the Crimson Pace, is a cauldron…

  ShipTeaser

  So yeah, eventually, after some bad forth, Amazon did accept I'm me and put my book up for pre-order... only to not only remove it 5 hours ter, but cim I am an alternate at for an at in viotion of their ToS, and not only deleted it, but banned me forever from the Kindle programme. This is of course utter bullshit. The only thing I think of is that they are tying the fact i asked for my stuff to be removed when pirated as that was also me. So, yes officer, I know I was robbed, so please arrest me, as I have a e to the burgry, in that I was robbed.

  Okay, so... holy, getting banned from RR hit me hard. I know teically Hinata breached their ToS... but I bet they'd allow Game of Thrones on there, just like amazon does, despite the tent being way worse. Also explicitly being called a pedophile by the RR mod team was fug wonderful, let me tell you.

  I was happy, here and on RR, I had a growing, fairly mid-tier fanbase. I nearly hit 1k on RR and was starting to get to 2nd/1st page on various genres, so was growing... and well, the spite campaign got me deleted. Fuck them. I appreciate everyone who followed me over to SH, but we all know I lost 80% of my RR followers after that.

  Holy, and it may be arrogant, but I believe that OAT could find a bigger fanbase. I've read and written a lot of stuff, and while I'm hardly g we're highbrow, in the harem/light yle space, I think stories like mine are rare. So, let me crify. It's not about money. I have a job, I have money. Sure, I'm not going to turn it down, if I made money off Amazon would could finally do some awesome stuff. Genuine issioned character art (the AI stuff is det, but who wouldn't want to see genuine, fwless Shaeu's and Shiro's?), if we got enough readers, maybe even attrag the attention of audio book publishers in the genre for example. Voiced characters!

  I've always said OAT should be avaible for people to read, and I made it avaible on discord etc, so nobody would ever NOT be able to read, but 95% of the genre readers are on amazon, especially now that RR is barred to me. And if those readers gave moo me so I could get us awesome stuff like art etc... everyone wins.

  But I 't even do that. Now I'm emailing amazon reps, trying desperately to get shit fixed, but... it's all so unfair. Eveher authors in my circle of tacts say this is bullshit that pretty muever happens. It just seems to me, I'm trying to create something fun that people love, and... all I get is kicked ieeth.

  So yeah, sorry this chappy was so te... but... it's been fug hard. It seems the world is against me and OAT, and it makes me sad...
