Double Cultivation
do it one more time
Su Yang was casually sitting on the bed as Xiao Rong aggressively sucked his finger, looking like he was trying to suck up the remaining meat from the chicken bones.
"Can't you do it more elegantly?" suddenly he said to her.
"Elegant? What'sthat?" he responded with a confused expression.
"That means doing something in a graceful way, something that will make others feel happy to watch, the opposite of what you do" Su Yang said.
"Xiao Rong did not understand," he said as he continued to suck like a barbarian.
Su Yang sighed and said, "Give me your hand, I'll show you."
He realized that the quickest way to teach this cat something, was by showing it directly to him, so the only way to teach elegance was …
Xiao Rong did not question his request and placed his small, tender hand on his palm.
"Please pay attention, because this means being elegant."
As he said those words, Su Yang slowly moved his lips towards his hand. He then opened his mouth and licked his finger gracefully, treating his fingers as if they were the most refined treasures in this world.
The tingling sensation of Su Yang's tongue caressing his finger made Xiao Rong stop sucking his finger to stare at his expression with a puzzled face.
He did not know what this feeling in his heart was, but it caused the blood in his body to heat up with excitement, making him feel an unnatural urge to pounce on him.
However, he resisted this urge and continued to watch over her with almost blinding eyes.
"Do you understand now?"
Before he came to his senses, Su Yang had finished his small demonstration.
"Xiao Rong still could not understand. Once more. Do it again!" he asked with sparkling eyes.
"I'll consider that request if you can complete the next five scrolls." Su Yang pointed to the pile of papers beside him.
Xiao Rong nodded enthusiastically and went to pick up the paper.
A while later, just as Xiao Rong was finished with the third scroll, the outer door was knocked.
Su Yang stopped whatever he was doing and walked to the door.
When he opened the door, he was greeted by a beautiful young lady standing outside who was emitting a strong herbal scent that pierced through his nose. However, this scent is not bad for the nose. Instead, it made him feel more relaxed than usual.
"Who are you?" Su Yang asked him.
"…"
Zhu Mengyi looked at Su Yang with a slightly confused expression. Although he had heard from Qing Shan that he was a handsome young man, he had not expected him to be this attractive, and it had really surprised him a little.
"ah! H-Halo, I am the First U-Pupil here, Zhu Mengyi!" He introduced himself nervously, almost biting his own tongue.
Su Yang remained indifferent despite knowing his status, and he said, "And how can I help you, the main disciple?"
"Mm .. I heard about the match between you and Qing Shan, so I decided to come here to see what kind of person you are."
"Is that so…"
Seeing how Su Yang had already lost interest in him, Zhu Mengyi hurriedly said, "There's also another reason why I'm here! My mother, this Matriak Sect, sent me here to learn a thing or two about Alchemy from you!"
Zhu Mengyi quickly nodded.
"And he wants me to teach you alchemy?"
He nodded again.
"I understand the situation, but why should I waste my time teaching you?"
"Eh?" Zhu Mengyi looked at him with wide eyes. "But my mother told me to come see you …"
Su Yang raised an eyebrow and continued, "I don't know what he said to you, but I don't agree on such a thing, nor is it part of our agreement."
"You didn't?"
Zhu Mengyi was confused. If what he said was true, why did his mother send him here? So he can fool himself and lose face?
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the situation, she said, "I'm sorry I .. I thought this was something my mother had arranged before, so I came here without thinking about it …"
"…"
Su Yang looked at him silently, and after a while, just as he was preparing to leave, he said, "Although I said that it would only be a waste of my time, it is a waste of my time, I have plenty of time to spend for the next few days."
"Huh? Really true?" Zhu Mengyi looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Su Yang nodded. Other than lecturing Xiao Rong and cultivating on his own, he had no other plans, so he might as well make the next few days go by faster by helping him.
"Go back with a cauldron and sufficient materials for the Earth Progress Pill," he said.
"…" Zhu Mengyi's eyes widened in shock upon hearing his words. Did he choose the Earth Development Pill by chance or did he choose it because he somehow knew that he was having trouble with this pill?
"I-I already have a cauldron in my storage! Materials too!" she said.
"How simple ..." Su Yang smiled, and he continued. "Wait a minute here."
He then closed the door and returned to his own room.
"Xiao Rong, we'll stop the lesson here today."
"Eh ?!" Xiao Rong expressed dissatisfaction as he placed the fifth scroll down. "But I'm almost done!"
Su Yang smiled and said, "You can continue on your own, but I have someone else to lecture today. I'll repay you once I'm done."
"really? Okay!" Xiao Rong no longer looked like he was going berserk and went back to learning.
"And don't leave this room until I get back" he added.
"Good!"
As soon as he convinced her to stay in the room, Su Yang returned outside to meet Zhu Mengyi.
"Can we use the cauldron room in this house?" he asked her.
Su Yang nodded and let her into the house.
