After that, Fang Xuan spent the rest of the time eating non-stop.
Occasionally, he fed some to Xiao Hei, who wriggled its body happily while making soft sounds, appearing quite pleased.
His senior sister’s negotiation—if one could even call it that—was essentially her listing her requirements for the plan.
She could have said anything, and Chen Fan would have agreed regardless.
Ning Xian did not mention what her compensation would be.
However, Chen Fan knew clearly in his heart that not asking for a specific reward meant she wanted everything.
But since he had no way out, he felt incredibly grateful that a great cultivator of the Void Core Realm was truly willing to help him.
........
After the banquet, Chen Fan personally escorted the two back to their courtyard before respectfully withdrawing.
On the way back to their rooms, the moonlight was cold and the corridors were quiet.
Fang Xuan remarked casually, "Senior Sister, you’re impressive."
Ning Xian was looking ahead, but her footsteps paused slightly at his words, a faint blush creeping onto the tips of her ears.
"There are... more impressive things to come."
"Hmm?"
Fang Xuan felt like her words sounded... a bit strange, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.
......
Back in the room.
Ning Xian sat down at the desk by the window, seemingly intending to clear her mind and handle some business.
Fang Xuan stretched, just about to find a spot to meditate and cultivate as well.
The system chimed again:
【Detected that the training target ‘Fang Xuan’ has failed to obtain sufficient training value for three consecutive days. Behavior is lax!】
【To encourage the host to actively serve the master, a limited-time incentive task is now being issued!】
【Task Item: Heaven-grade cultivation cauldron technique 《One Hundred and Eight Training Postures》】
【Task Reward: Brown sugar buns will be upgraded to—Milk-flavored buns!】
Milk-flavored buns, another new flavor.
Although he had only eaten a few brown sugar buns, their effects were good, but this milk flavor sounded even more enticing.
Different buns rewarded by the system possessed extra effects.
The only problem was that there were too many of them.
Whenever he had time, he would frantically gnaw on buns, swallow buns, soak buns in boiling water, fry mini buns, or make bun meat sandwiches...
......
By the desk.
Ning Xian was slightly furrowing her brows, holding a jade talisman in her hand.
It was the fragmented ancient texts of the cultivation method Fang Xuan was practicing.
She studied it carefully with a serious expression.
Ning Xian intended to cultivate it herself first so that she could better guide her junior brother when he encountered bottlenecks in the future.
......
Following the system’s task guidance.
Fang Xuan walked lightly behind Ning Xian and spoke with a deliberately puzzled tone.
"What are you looking at, Senior Sister? You’re so focused."
Without raising her head, Ning Xian remained focused on the content of the jade talisman and replied casually, "Your cultivation method. The concept of this scripture is extremely profound, but the cultivation process is difficult. I will comprehend it first so I can help you if you encounter any barriers later."
Fang Xuan pretended to be curious and leaned in closer, almost pressing against her ear, then suddenly pulled another jade talisman from his storage ring and waved it before Ning Xian’s eyes.
"Senior Sister, then what is this? I picked it up together with the other one in the secret realm ruins before, but I haven't looked at it closely."
Ning Xian’s gaze instinctively shifted to the jade talisman in his hand.
When she clearly saw the ancient characters on the surface of the jade, her cold expression froze slightly.
It read—《Secret Record of Yin-Yang Harmony · Heaven-grade Chapter》
"You..." Ning Xian turned her head sharply, nearly bumping into Fang Xuan’s face which was inches away.
Her small face turned beet red as she snatched the jade talisman, clutching it tightly in her hand while trying to maintain a stern face.
Attempting to use her most serious tone, she said, "This... this is a heterodox evil technique. It is bad and useless."
As she spoke, she moved to tuck the jade talisman into her storage pouch.
"You go over there first... meditate to calm your mind. Do... do not disturb my comprehension of the technique."
"Oh, okay."
Fang Xuan pretended to be obedient, walked away, and closed his eyes as if entering meditation.
'System, this didn't work. Are you even capable?'
【Please trust the system's data calculations.】
......
Seeing that he was actually meditating, Ning Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked down at the jade talisman in her hand.
She opened it quietly.
She would just take a look, just one look and then she would close it.
Hmm... this technique... was indeed wicked.
However, it was a one-sided cultivation cauldron technique, and the postures were extremely... indecent.
But surprisingly, it could attract a massive amount of yang qi, which would be very effective for suppressing her junior brother's constitution of overflowing yang qi.
She definitely didn't want to practice it herself...
And she certainly didn't... covet the cultivation progress or the soul-merging effects described within.
She was only doing this to solve the hidden danger of her junior brother's constitution.
Yes, that was it!
With these thoughts in her mind, her gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the text on the jade talisman as she began to browse through it quickly.
The more she looked, the higher the heat on her face rose, but her eyes became increasingly focused, even carrying a hint of enlightened contemplation.
So... spiritual power could be guided like this.
This dual cultivation technique... actually aligned secretly with the heavenly dao principles of yin and yang.
.......
Half an hour later.
Fang Xuan was getting a bit bored from meditating, wondering why his senior sister hadn't made a move yet and if the technique was too profound for her to understand.
Just then, Ning Xian’s voice sounded softly, though her calm tone couldn't hide a hint of tension.
"Junior Brother, you... come here."
Fang Xuan saw that Ning Xian had already stood up and walked to the bedside.
She was still wearing those plain white robes, her figure exquisite and her face cold as the moon.
Only the lingering blush on her face and her slightly evasive gaze betrayed her lack of inner calm.
"Senior Sister?" Fang Xuan asked, pretending to be confused.
Ning Xian looked up at him and took a deep breath first.
"Ahem... I was just... studying the technique and discovered a method that might help you channel your yang qi and balance your yin and yang. It will also be beneficial to your cultivation."
Avoiding Fang Xuan’s probing gaze, she continued in that serious tone she used when discussing sword scriptures, "This method requires... requires the fusion of two people's spiritual power, circulating through a specific grand cycle."
Fang Xuan looked at her; she was clearly nervous to death, her ears so red they seemed about to bleed, yet she was still desperately maintaining her dignity as his senior sister.
"I naturally trust Senior Sister."
Ning Xian’s heart trembled at his trusting gaze, and her forced composure cracked further.
She hastily looked away, her voice growing even lower. "Then... then sit down."
And then.
It was...
.......
"Senior Sister... do we really have to do this..."
"Mm... just, just listen to Senior Sister......."
......
"Senior Sister, will this really... help me break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"Don't talk... kiss me."
.......
【Detected that training target Fang Xuan is being forcibly restrained and toyed with by the master... Training value +99】
【Next stage task guidance: Please praise the master Ning Xian and entice the master to further toy with your body.】
System, can this really result in being severely trained...
He felt like praising his senior sister right now... was a bit too weird.
But judging from before, the system's guidance should be reliable.
So, during a gap in their deep kiss, while he caught his breath, he whispered softly into Ning Xian’s ear.
"Senior Sister... you're amazing..."
Ning Xian was dazed from the kiss, and this blunt praise made her feel incredibly embarrassed, yet she felt a strange sense of satisfaction...
She really wanted... to pin her junior brother down firmly.
She let out a muffled "Mm" in response, her arms unconsciously wrapping around his neck to pull the distance between them even closer.
