Chapter 102: Clouds and Rain!

After the wood steward finished his instructions, he left directly.

“Husband, let’s start our cultivation quickly!”

Yang Ye stared blankly at the jade talisman in his hand as Long Xiaoqing urged him.

“Alright.”

Yang Ye nodded.

He had become extremely proficient with the use of the jade talisman.

With a thought, a trace of power surged into the talisman.

Immediately, the talisman glowed with a golden light.

Yang Ye condensed a divine sense and entered into the talisman.

“Boom—”

In an instant, a thunderous explosion echoed in Yang Ye’s mind.

Then, a powerful torrent of information flooded his brain.

The sheer volume was overwhelming, causing Yang Ye’s head to throb painfully.

Moreover, an intensely conflicting sensation arose, making him deeply uncomfortable — it seemed to stem from his soul, a kind of spiritual agony.

“Sss—”

Gritting his teeth, Yang Ye took a deep breath.

“Husband, what’s wrong?”

Seeing Yang Ye’s pained expression, Long Xiaoqing asked with concern.

“I’m fine, Xiaoqing. Here, take the talisman.”

Saying that, Yang Ye placed the talisman into Long Xiaoqing’s hand, then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to contemplate the information flooding his mind.

The throbbing pain and spiritual discomfort were bearable.

After meditating for a while, the pain in his head gradually faded, and the spiritual suffering lessened.

Yang Ye sensed this was not a physical cultivation technique but more like a divine sense cultivation method, something Nezha had mentioned.

To become a powerful cultivator, one must not only possess strong star energy and a robust body but also a formidable divine sense.

Nezha had given many examples.

For instance, when trapped within a talisman array, a strong divine sense can perceive the array’s structure clearly. During cultivation, it makes comprehension easier, and in battle, it can even influence opponents’ actions through divine sense.

At first, Yang Ye guessed this was the case, but after absorbing half the talisman’s information, he realized it was something else.

Furthermore, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He felt a peculiar wave emanating from the depths of his soul.

While quietly experiencing this sensation, Long Xiaoqing did not look at the talisman but quietly watched Yang Ye.

After a long moment, Yang Ye exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.

By then, his mind was free of discomfort, and he felt a wave of ease throughout his body.

“Husband, what kind of cultivation method is it?”

Curious, Long Xiaoqing asked once she saw Yang Ye was fine.

Yang Ye frowned thoughtfully and shook his head.

“Although it’s called a dual cultivation method, I still can’t make heads or tails of it.”

Previously, the wood steward had said that before Yang Ye reached the Star God Realm, he could not engage in a physical marital relationship with Long Xiaoqing.

Because of his insufficient realm, not only could he not endure it, but it would also be harmful to Long Xiaoqing.

Thus, Yang Ye did not believe this dual cultivation technique was a ‘proper’ one.

“Can’t understand it? How could that be?” Long Xiaoqing frowned, looking at the talisman in her hand.

Yang Ye stood, wrapped his arm around Long Xiaoqing’s waist, and said, “Xiaoqing, you should try cultivating too. Maybe something will change.”

Long Xiaoqing nodded and flipped the talisman over.

About a minute later, she looked at Yang Ye, blushing shyly.

“Husband, I…I’ve finished cultivating.”

“Huh?” Yang Ye looked surprised. “That fast?”

“Because Xiaoqing is a dragon! Of course, I’m quicker than you!”

After saying that, Long Xiaoqing pulled Yang Ye toward the direction of the stone palace, walking and speaking as they went.

“Let’s go to the quiet chamber. I think Xiaoqing understands what this cultivation method is about.”

A moment later, inside the quiet chamber of the stone palace.

Yang Ye and Long Xiaoqing sat cross-legged facing each other, gazing into each other's eyes.

“It really isn’t a proper dual cultivation method. No undressing, no physical contact… Could it be some kind of illusion?” Yang Ye guessed silently.

“Husband, Xiaoqing is ready. Let’s begin!”

Long Xiaoqing looked into Yang Ye’s eyes.

“Alright.”

Yang Ye nodded.

Then, the two fixed their gaze on each other’s eyes.

This was Long Xiaoqing’s requirement.

Before Yang Ye fully understood the key points of the cultivation method, Long Xiaoqing had already grasped them.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have that shy expression on her face.

As Yang Ye stared into Long Xiaoqing’s eyes, the strange sensation he had felt while digesting the information returned.

Moreover, Long Xiaoqing’s eyes appeared to grow larger and larger before his eyes.

Then, the two irises merged into one. Yang Ye felt as if he was swallowed whole by Long Xiaoqing’s unified eyes.

Yang Ye was not the only one experiencing this; Long Xiaoqing, sitting opposite him, felt the same.

At the moment they were engulfed by Long Xiaoqing’s eyes and plunged into darkness, Yang Ye’s vision suddenly brightened.

He found himself hovering above the stone palace, continuously rising.

Soon, he floated out of the Dragon Palace, emerged above the sea surface, and appeared amidst the clouds in the sky.

Suddenly—

“Ah!”

Yang Ye couldn’t help but shout in surprise.

Because he suddenly realized he had transformed into a dragon—a golden dragon!

He looked down, twisted his body into a coil, then wagged his tail and moved his claws—these movements were unfamiliar to him.

Now he finally understood the source of the spiritual pain.

This was the conflicting sensation of a changed body. The structural differences between human and dragon bodies were too great.

“Damn, where’s my little buddy?”

Suddenly, Yang Ye looked between his hind legs and found nothing there.

It was completely bare…

“Husband~”

At that moment, a sweet, sultry voice sounded.

Yang Ye sluggishly lifted his head and saw a bluish-green dragon before his eyes.

It was Long Xiaoqing!

“So beautiful!”

At the instant Yang Ye saw Long Xiaoqing, a flutter stirred in his heart.

Like a passionate young man beholding a captivating, enchanting beauty.

Previously, when looking at Long Xiaoqing, he would never have had such feelings—unless she took human form.

But now?

Had his aesthetic sense changed so much that he felt attraction toward a female dragon?

Heavens! What was going on…

Though shocked inside, Yang Ye found his gaze irresistibly drawn to Long Xiaoqing’s eyes, blinking not once.

“Husband! Xiaoqing is here!”

Saying that, Long Xiaoqing twisted her body and appeared before Yang Ye, extending her tongue to lick his dragon face.

“So… so thrilling! Xiaoqing, I can’t take it!”

Yang Ye shouted.

“Husband, I know!”

Long Xiaoqing winked.

In her expression, Yang Ye saw a coquettish charm.

“Phew~”

Long Xiaoqing moved her body, flew behind Yang Ye, and her body became incredibly supple, instantly entwining with him.

The sensation was like when she was still in human form, naked, holding him tightly, stirring his desires.

Back then, if not for recalling the wood steward’s warning, he might have acted on those feelings.

“Mm~”

Yang Ye opened his eyes wide, feeling as if something had appeared between his legs.

That thing entered a wondrous place… tight, warm, and moist!

High above in the sky, two dragons entwined fiercely, tumbling and turning.

The energy fluctuations emanating from the two dragons gathered a massive amount of moisture, forming thick clouds.

Soon after, thunder rumbled, and a torrential downpour began.

Fortunately, there was no strong wind.

On a fishing boat on the sea, a tanned middle-aged fisherman looked up at the sky, shook his head, and said, “The summer weather sure is unpredictable. Always talking about rain.”
