Yin Chuan placed his hand on Jiang Chao Ge’s head and sensed his body, swiftly exclaiming in surprise, “You’re using the practice of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?”

Jiang Chao Ge hissed and looked around nervously. Seeing Yun Xi and the others with no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Chuan smiled, “So they don’t know.”

“If they knew, they would probably try to stop me.”

“Indeed. The practice of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is not suitable for humans. It was not created by humans,” Yin Chuan said.

Jiang Chao Ge was surprised and thought to himself that he had encountered a true predecessor.

Yin Chuan sighed, “The Eight Extraordinary Meridians were originally created for the practice of the humanoid form of the beast race. Even if the beasts take on human form, their bodies are still quite different from humans. The Eight Extraordinary Meridians of the beasts cannot be applied to humans. I taught this practice to the beasts and repeatedly warned them not to teach it to humans, but it still spread. Humans found that it could accelerate their cultivation speed, so they began to use it, but when I woke up years later, I discovered that many humans had gone mad because of it. I tried my best to retrieve the practice, but it was too late, and even self-invented practices of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians appeared among the people. In the end, because too many people went mad, fewer and fewer people dared to try it, and the practice became a taboo.”

Jiang Chao Ge smiled bitterly, “I knew the danger when I first practiced it, but I was desperate for power. So, danger was nothing. This practice has boosted my spiritual power so much that I cannot return to orthodox cultivation methods anymore.”

Yin Chuan nodded, “You want to summon Zhi Xuan, I will naturally help you. You tell me about your practice, and I will study a new method that’s suitable for you and your body. It will be safer and make your cultivation speed faster.”

Jiang Chao Ge was overjoyed. “Thank you, Lord Yin Chuan!”

Zhi Xuan looked dissatisfied at Jiang Chao Ge, “Why are you addressing him with respect?”

“I’ve always addressed you respectfully. Predecessor is a respectful address,” Jiang Chao Ge replied.

Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes and seemed to begrudgingly accept it.

Jiang Chao Ge loved this about Zhi Xuan – he could be easily pacified.

After getting Ruan Qiansu’s consent, Jiang Chao Ge wrote down his cultivation practice. Yin Chuan took a quick look and exclaimed, “This is the cultivation practice I designed a long time ago. How did it end up in the hands of the Qis’ ancestors?”

It was impossible to verify due to the passage of time. Yin Chuan carefully studied the practice.

Jiang Chao Ge asked, “If this can enhance my speed, when will I reach level three spirit weapon user?”

“At the quickest, it will take two to three years,” Yin Chuan replied.

Jiang Chao Ge was greatly disappointed. “It’s too slow.”

Yin Chuan said, “Cultivation cannot be rushed. You have been on the Tianlang Continent for less than a year, and by chance, someone has helped you open your meridians. You also consumed a spirit pill and a practice that enhances your Eight Extraordinary Meridians, coupled with your exceptional talents. You have already achieved a level of power that a normal person would need five to eight years to attain. Perhaps no one can surpass your speed now.”

“Not enough,” Jiang Chao Ge gritted his teeth. “I want to be faster. Yin Chuan, is there any way? I’m willing to try anything.”

Zhi Xuan patted his hair, “I won’t force you. You don’t need to make things difficult for yourself.”

Yin Chuan pondered for a moment. “There is something, but it’s too dangerous. It’s not worth trying.”

“I want to try,” Jiang Chao Ge said.

Zhi Xuan immediately said, “No.”

Yin Chuan lowered his head in silence.

Jiang Chao Ge asked, “Yin Chuan, please tell me about it.”

Yin Chuan looked at Zhi Xuan and shook his head firmly.

Jiang Chao Ge looked at Zhi Xuan in surprise. “You know?”

“So what if I know? I won’t let you try,” Zhi Xuan grumbled, pulling him up from the ground. “Let’s go.”

“Ah…” Jiang Chao Ge looked at Yin Chuan, but Yin Chuan’s gaze was calm like water, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Zhi Xuan pulled Jiang Chao Ge to a forest far from the campsite. Jiang Chao Ge was worried, “Alright, alright, where are you going?”

Zhi Xuan shook off his arm and growled angrily, “Are you trying to kill yourself? This forbidden practice is already dangerous, what else do you want?”

“I want to enhance my cultivation!” He was tired of feeling powerless. He had been able to summon Zhi Xuan after only a year, but his cultivation had only allowed him to remain in his human form and start a few fires. Zhi Xuan was even more unhappy when he met other ancient beasts, as if his wife had lost a competition in front of others, making him feel worse than being slapped in public.

“Then form a contract with me!” Zhi Xuan shouted.

Jiang Chao Ge stared at Zhi Xuan, and he stared back without blinking. Jiang Chao Ge took a stride forward, grabbed the back of Zhi Xuan’s neck and pressed his lips onto Zhi Xuan’s mouth forcefully.

Zhi Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was the first time Jiang Chao Ge had initiated a kiss without his request.

Jiang Chao Ge’s mind buzzed, and for a moment, he couldn’t understand why he had done this. He had never done anything like this before, but it felt natural. Resolutely, he kissed Zhi Xuan passionately, intertwining his tongue with Zhi Xuan’s tenderly.

After Zhi Xuan regained his senses, he held Jiang Chao Ge tightly around the waist and took control, eagerly absorbing Jiang Chao Ge’s warmth from his lips. He didn’t focus on anything else, his kissing skills improved quickly. The two of them got caught up in the moment, their heartbeats racing.

Jiang Chao Ge felt his cheeks flush, embarrassed. It was almost absurd for someone like him to feel this way about a kiss, but this kiss was different from any previous ones. He didn’t want to analyze why it was different, but he knew that it felt beautiful. He also knew that he didn’t like seeing Yin Chuan and Zhi Xuan being so friendly and laughing together.

After they broke the kiss, the two of them stared at each other with a hint of awkwardness in their eyes.

Zhi Xuan rested his forehead against Jiang Chao Ge’s and said softly, “I like this.”

Jiang Chao Ge laughed, “What do you like?”

“Just being with you.” Zhi Xuan lightly kissed his lips, “Yin Chuan said that I like you, so you are my female beast.” He was sure. “You are my mate.”

“You like me.” Jiang Chao Ge stared at him without blinking, “Do you know what it means to like someone?”

Zhi Xuan’s eyes looked a bit confused, “What does it mean to like someone?”

Jiang Chao Ge said seriously, “Wanting to live and die together with the other person, never to be separated.”

“Then I like you,” Zhi Xuan said without hesitation.

Jiang Chao Ge’s heart trembled, Zhi Xuan’s deep and captivating golden eyes burned with his conviction and heart like flames. He had never received such a sincere confession in his life. Such simple words were as fragrant and intoxicating as aged wine. He never trusted anyone who said they liked or loved him, men or women. They were always after his status and money, but Zhi Xuan was different. Zhi Xuan’s feelings were like the purest diamond in the world, without any impurities, unable to put on any disguise. For the first time, Jiang Chao Ge realized how precious and heavy someone else’s feelings could be, and he didn’t dare to be negligent.

Zhi Xuan saw that he was not saying anything and asked softly, “Do you like me?”

Before Jiang Chao Ge could speak, Zhi Xuan glared fiercely, “If you dare to say ‘no,’ I’ll bite you to death.”

Jiang Chao Ge laughed, “Zhi Xuan, I like you.” He couldn’t describe how much affection was involved, but he liked and trusted Zhi Xuan. He saw him as the most important person in the world, including his own world.

Zhi Xuan was overjoyed, his eyes shining. If Zhi Xuan had a tail it would definitely be wagging. He pounced on Jiang Chao Ge in excitement, repeatedly kissing his lips. As they kissed back and forth, they became more and more aroused.

Zhi Xuan looked at Jiang Chao Ge expectantly and curiously with a playful expression. “Let’s form a contract now.”

Although Jiang Chao Ge had already made up his mind, it was not an easy hurdle to cross mentally, and was afraid that his lower half would not be able to stand up, which would be embarrassing.

Zhi Xuan felt uneasy when Jiang Chao Ge didn’t say anything, and he kept rubbing against him. Jiang Chao Ge was also young, full of energy, and he had been abstaining for a year. He couldn’t resist Zhi Xuan’s rubbing, and accidentally got aroused. Zhi Xuan seemed to have discovered a new world and suddenly grabbed Jiang Chao Ge’s little brother, surprised. “You’re reacting here too.”

Jiang Chao Ge cursed in his heart and quickly pushed his hand away. “No, don’t touch.”

Zhi Xuan was puzzled. “Why not?”

Jiang Chao Ge made up his mind, turned over and changed positions, pressing Zhi Xuan down. He straddled Zhi Xuan and said boldly, “We are forming a contract, don’t regret it.”

“Why would I regret it?” Zhi Xuan’s eyes sparkled, obviously looking forward to it.

Jiang Chao Ge swallowed saliva. “Um, do you know what’s going on?”

Zhi Xuan nodded. “Yes, Zui Yu said something about it. He also said you would teach me.”

Jiang Chao Ge nodded with satisfaction, “Zui Yu is right. You don’t need to think about anything, just follow me.”

Zhi Xuan nodded again, imagining the pleasures that fox had described. His heart thumped with anticipation.

Jiang Chao Ge gave himself a shot of courage, clenched his fist, and unbuttoned Zhi Xuan’s clothes.

Zhi Xuan said, “Oh, I forgot to ask Yin Chuan.”

“What?”

“Asking him if you can give birth to a little qilin for me.”

Jiang Chao Ge stressed. “No, I can’t. Stop thinking about it.”

“How do you know if you don’t ask? Yin Chuan knows everything.”

“No matter how much he knows, male humans don’t have that organ. Can he create one?”

“What organ?”

“Never mind. Just know that I can’t give birth.” Jiang Chao Ge felt a little sad. Why did he have to explain to people repeatedly that he couldn’t have children?

“Maybe he can create one. I’ll go ask…”

Jiang Chao Ge was already nervous, but hearing this ridiculous idea made him angry. He grabbed Zhi Xuan’s collar, “Stop asking. Even if I could, I don’t want to give birth!” After saying this, he felt like banging his head against a tree. What kind of stupid ideas were these? Being with Zhi Xuan for too long had lowered his IQ. Well, if he didn’t lower his IQ, how could he communicate with him?

Zhi Xuan frowned, pouted, and said unhappily, “Why? I really want a little qilin.”

“Why do you have to have a little qilin? You don’t like any other spirit beasts.”

“I want to see what I would look like.”

“Huh?” Jiang Chao Ge was stunned by this reason.

“I have never known what I really look like,” Zhi Xuan said somewhat sadly. “My true form is too big. Any river or lake can only reflect one side of me, but I can never see my entire appearance. I want to know what my side profile looks like, what my back looks like, what my tail looks like, what my belly looks like. If there was a little qilin that looked like me, then I could see.”

Jiang Chao Ge was speechless for a moment. He had never thought that being too big could come with such a simple problem to solve. He sighed, “Even if I could, I still can’t give birth.”

Zhi Xuan hung his head in disappointment.

Jiang Chao Ge stopped his movements, feeling that the atmosphere wasn’t right to continue. But as soon as he thought of getting up, Zhi Xuan grabbed him and yanked him back onto himself. “I’m still hard, what should I do?”

Jiang Chao Ge awkwardly suggested, “How about…I use my hand?” He maliciously thought to himself that Zhi Xuan could only last a few minutes, being a little predecessor who had just tasted the joy of sex for the first time. This way, he wouldn’t get too tired.

“No, I want to mate with you,” Zhi Xuan replied, rolling over to take charge.

Jiang Chao Ge pushed him back down with his hand on his chest. “Why don’t I undress?”

Jiang Chao Ge mentally prepared himself and took off his own clothes before pressing down on Zhi Xuan and gently kissing and touching his skin.

Zhi Xuan closed his eyes, enjoying the gentle and lingering touch. He felt intoxicated by it, more than any wine could make him feel.

Jiang Chao Ge kissed him and stimulated his desire. Although he had only been with women, he had enough experience to deal with a long-lived spirit beast like Zhi Xuan. Soon, both of them were feeling aroused and their bodies were heating up.

Jiang Chao Ge felt it was time, so he lifted Zhi Xuan’s leg to which Zhi Xuan looked at him somewhat confused.

Jiang Chao Ge explained, “It might hurt a little…”

“Well, I understand. Are you afraid?”

“Huh? Me? Are you afraid?”

“Why would I be afraid,” Zhi Xuan asked in return.

“Although you’re not afraid of hot or cold, it will still hurt, won’t it?”

Zhi Xuan frowned, “Won’t you be the one experiencing the pain?”

Jiang Chao Ge was momentarily stunned, “What?”

Zhi Xuan suddenly flipped Jiang Chao Ge over and pinned him down, panting heavily. “Zui Yu taught me, don’t be afraid,” he said as he squeezed between Jiang Chao Ge’s legs.

Jiang Chao Ge’s brain short-circuited for a moment. When he regained his senses, he suddenly understood the eerie atmosphere, and shouted, “Wait, wait!” He pointed at Zhi Xuan with trembling fingers, “W-What do you mean?”

Zhi Xuan was confused, “What do you mean, what do I mean?”

Jiang Chao Ge’s face turned pale. As a male with rich sexual experience, he naturally and without doubt believed that he should take the lead in this matter, especially when faced with a naive and innocent personality. He never imagined that Zhi Xuan wouldn’t think so!

It should be said that Zhi Xuan, as a male, even if ignorant, had an unbreakable male instinct. His idea was not much different from Jiang Chao Ge’s. Their biggest difference was that Jiang Chao Ge understood what was going on, and Zhi Xuan didn’t. He didn’t even notice Jiang Chao Ge’s thoughts. If he had, would he really have sexually eaten someone?

The more Jiang Chao Ge thought about it, the more his head hurt. He felt like his scalp was going to explode. He had finally made up his mind to sleep with a man, and damn it, instead of him taking the dominant lead, someone else wanted to! He felt like a monk was banging a large bell in his head, and he was on the verge of passing out.

Zhi Xuan saw his face turn pale, then green, and looked absolutely confused and leaned in to ask, “What’s wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?”

“Oh, right… Fei Yi’s poison seems to be acting up again. My hands and feet are a bit numb.”

Zhi Xuan’s face instantly fell. His disappointment was like a puppy who had just lost his treat, making it hard to look at. But Jiang Chao Ge didn’t have time to pity Zhi Xuan. If he did then who was going to pity his own ass?

Zhi Xuan straightened his clothes and draped them over Jiang Chao Ge’s shoulders. He sighed, “You’re afraid of pain, aren’t you?”

“No,” Jiang Chao Ge reluctantly said.

“You’re not afraid of pain?”

“No, I…” Jiang Chao Ge couldn’t give the right answer, feeling like he was going to hit a tree again.

Zhi Xuan gave him a kiss and sighed again, “Humans are really timid.”

Jiang Chao Ge didn’t know what to say. His heart was still in turmoil, weighing the pros and cons and his level of acceptance. It was fortunate that Zhi Xuan didn’t understand his intentions. If he did, he would have definitely gone berserk. Thinking about it now, he had narrowly escaped a disaster.

Zhi Xuan kissed his cheeks, hair and held him in his arms, rubbing against him affectionately. “Being timid is alright. Who told you to be a human?”

Jiang Chao Ge muttered, feeling dizzy, “Uh… Yeah, I’m a human.”

Zhi Xuan’s body was still burning hot, and no matter how long they rubbed against each other, his temperature just wouldn’t drop. Jiang Chao Ge felt like they could go on like this forever, so he reluctantly reached for Zhi Xuan’s lower area.

This time, it lasted longer than expected, and Jiang Chao Ge felt his heart sink.

For the sake of spiritual power, he was willing to take risks and practice that evil technique. Should he take this step too? Jiang Chao Ge felt lost, caught between Zhi Xuan’s breath and warmth.

After dinner, Zhi Xuan went to see Zui Yu again, and Jiang Chao Ge discovered some of the random things Zui Yu had taught Zhi Xuan. He was furious, but he couldn’t stop the fox from causing trouble. He could only fret and worry.

While Zhi Xuan was with Zui Yu, Jiang Chao Ge quietly went to find Yin Chuan. Yin Chuan wasn’t surprised at all when he saw him and put down his book, and said softly, “Have a seat.”

Jiang Chao Ge sat down and got straight to the point. “Lord Yin Chuan, I think you already know why I’m here.”

“I know,” Yin Chuan agreed with half-closed eyelids, swaying his tea cup. Even his eyelashes were white, curving like a pure white feather fan, flashing and sparkling, making it impossible to look away.

“Can you tell me?”

“I can tell you, but I cannot help you unless Zhi Xuan agrees,” Yin Chuan lifted his head and smiled faintly. “Zhi Xuan is arrogant, domineering, and has been alone in the world for thousands of years. He has never cared about anyone or anything, except for you. I am happy for him, and I cannot put you in danger without his consent.”

Jiang Chao Ge asked, “What kind of danger are we talking about?”

Yin Chuan gently pushed a cup of tea in front of him. “It’s quite simple. As I’ve told you before, Meng Lao will transfer some of his soul power to you, unlocking two meridians in advance.”

“You mean to say I can find another spirit master to unlock more meridians for me?”

Yin Chuan shook his head. “You won’t find such a master. They must have much higher spiritual power than you, be willing to sacrifice their life’s cultivation to help you, and most importantly, must also practice the Qi Jing Ba Mai technique.”

Jiang Chao Ge stared into Yin Chuan’s eyes. “I guess that means you can help me, right?”

Yin Chuan smiled. “You’re quite clever. Yes, I can help you. Since I’m not a spirit weapon master, I cannot transfer spiritual power to you. But I can use it to unlock more meridians for you. Your cultivation speed will increase several times and in less than two months, you can reach the strength of a third-level spiritual weapon master.”

Jiang Chao Ge clenched his fists. “But what if it fails?”

“You will die,” Yin Chuan said calmly. “My spiritual power is too immense. If anything goes wrong, you won’t be able to bear it. Your meridians will burst and you’ll be dead in an instant. Even many spirit masters cannot save you.”

Jiang Chao Ge took a deep breath. “Lord Yin Chuan, how confident are you?”

“Fifty percent. I only know that this method should work in theory, but I’ve never tried it before.” Yin Chuan looked at him and spoke warmly. “It’s definitely a risky move.”

Jiang Chao Ge was firm, “I’m willing to try.” Even if the chance of success was only fifty percent, it was worth a try. Jiang Chao Ge was born with a hard life. The heavens had sent him to this world and allowed him to merge with a divine-level spirit weapon. He didn’t think that his life would end before his success. He had survived so many dangers and near-death experiences, proving that he was meant to live. He had to try no matter what.

Yin Chuan’s calm gaze remained unchanged as he said, “If Zhi Xuan agrees, then I’ll help you.”

“Why does it have to be with Zhi Xuan’s agreement? In Lord Yin Chuan’s eyes, am I not an independent individual? I’ve heard that Lord Yin Chuan is well-read in the human sage texts and never distinguishes between the nobility of a beast and the lowliness of a human. I am not an accessory of Zhi Xuan. I am only requesting your help as an individual.”

Yin Chuan smiled slightly. “You are quite articulate, but I cannot betray my friend.”

Jiang Chao Ge smiled, lowered his voice and said, “If Lord Yin Chuan really had reservations, he wouldn’t have told me about this method in the first place. I know Lord Yin Chuan is extremely concerned about the current situation and urgently needs Zhi Xuan’s help. If I cannot summon the real body of Zhi Xuan, then he cannot be of any assistance. I’m afraid Lord Yin Chuan is more anxious than I am.”

Yin Chuan lightly laughed. “You’re right.”

“I have your word, and that’s enough for me.” Jiang Chao Ge stood up and bowed. “Thank you, Lord Yin Chuan.”

Yin Chuan smiled but remained silent.

Jiang Chao Ge walked a few steps outside the tent, but then hesitated and turned back. “Um, I have a question…”

“Please ask.”

Jiang Chao Ge felt embarrassed and gritted his teeth. “Can human males give birth?”

Yin Chuan burst out laughing. “No, of course not.”

“Can it be done by any means?”

“I have not researched it. If you need me to, I can…”

“No, no, no.” Jiang Chao Ge waved his hands repeatedly. “If Zhi Xuan asks you, I hope you can answer in the same way.”

Yin Chuan’s smile deepened. “You and Zhi Xuan are truly interesting.”

Jiang Chao Ge let out a long sigh in his heart. To be honest, if these things had happened to someone else, he would have found them quite interesting too.

“Thank you for taking care of Yun Xi all this way,” Yin Chuan suddenly said.

“Oh, we’ve been taking care of each other. With him around, we’ve really benefited a lot.” Jiang Chao Ge asked, “When does Lord Yin Chuan plan to form a contract with him?”

Yin Chuan smiled. “No rush.”

How Jiang Chao Ge imagines Zhi Xuan as a woman.
