Chapter Seventy-One: Still Can’t Do That Yet!

The two of them indulged in their intimacy for quite some time before Yang Ye finally came to his senses and released Long Xiaoqing.

As before, Long Xiaoqing was dressed in a black leather outfit that accentuated her flawless figure. Combined with her exquisite features, when Liu Xuan and the others saw her for the first time, they couldn't help but pause, wondering how such a beautiful woman could exist in this world.

Long Xiaoqing's face now was entirely different from before, yet even more stunning. This was because her current appearance was naturally formed, unlike her previous visage, which bore the marks of artificial refinement. Many netizens who had seen Long Xiaoqing's photos commented that her face looked surgically enhanced.

"Xiaoqing, is this not a puppet body?" Yang Ye pinched Long Xiaoqing's cheek and whispered quietly in her ear.

Long Xiaoqing replied softly, "Of course not, this is real! I had to come out in a hurry, so I used the appearance of an older sister."

So that's how it was!

Yang Ye had felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Long Xiaoqing's face. Yet it was good; with her new appearance, it would spare them many troubles.

"Ahem, ahem!"

At that moment, Yang Yu coughed twice. Yang Ye snapped back to reality—there were still people watching.

"Sister, I'm Xiaoqing, Long Xiaoqing!" Long Xiaoqing walked up to Yang Yu and introduced herself with confidence.

Yang Yu sized her up, took her hand, and smiled, "My little Ye is truly blessed to have such a beautiful wife."

Long Xiaoqing knew Yang Yu was complimenting her and shyly lowered her head.

Standing nearby, Lina watched Long Xiaoqing, feeling a pang of envy. So Yang Ye already had a girlfriend, and one far more beautiful than herself.

Lina was not lovesick; she had just developed a slight fondness for Yang Ye, but quickly adjusted her mindset.

Yang Ye then introduced Long Xiaoqing to Xia Li, Lina, and the others.

"Miss, the wind outside is strong, and the smell of blood is overwhelming. I think we should leave under cover of night," Liu Xuan suggested to Xia Li.

After speaking, Liu Xuan glanced at Long Xiaoqing. Though he was puzzled by her sudden arrival, he didn't press for answers.

Xia Li replied, "Since we've come, and the wolf pack has dispersed, let's stay here until morning."

Liu Xuan thought, with Yang Ye here, the miss's safety was assured, so he nodded in agreement.

However, the area was no longer suitable for lingering. No one wanted to spend the night among the foul-smelling carcasses of wolves.

The group quickly boarded their vehicles.

Yang Ye was deprived of his driving privileges.

The four women got into one car, with Lina behind the wheel, while Yang Ye and Liu Xuan rode in another.

Six vehicles began to move slowly.

In the women's car, Yang Yu, Long Xiaoqing, and Xia Li squeezed together in the back seat. The space was ample, so they didn't feel crowded.

"Xiaoqing, when did you and Ye get married?" Yang Yu asked curiously as the car moved.

Long Xiaoqing thought, wasn't this discussed over the phone? Nevertheless, she answered honestly, "Over two years ago."

"Ye was only sixteen then!" Yang Yu frowned, "He came back and didn't even tell me."

After a brief complaint, Yang Yu asked, "You've been together for two years. Have you... gotten pregnant?"

Long Xiaoqing blushed, "No! My husband refuses to practice dual cultivation!"

Dual cultivation?

Yang Yu and Xia Li were taken aback, then suddenly understood. The term was indeed subtle.

Xia Li laughed, "Xiaoqing, in these two years, haven't you ever shared a bed with Ye?"

Long Xiaoqing shook her head, "I've always slept with my husband!"

At her words, Yang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Frowning, she wondered if her brother had physical issues. What would they do then? Yang Ye was the family's only hope.

The thought made Yang Yu anxious.

"Why are you so worried?" Xia Li rolled her eyes at Yang Yu, then leaned in to whisper a few questions to Long Xiaoqing.

Long Xiaoqing replied, "It's fine! Husband says I'm too young for dual cultivation. Usually, I please him with my hands and mouth, and sometimes with my chest and legs. He likes it very much!"

"Pfft~"

In the car driven by Liu Xuan, Yang Ye had just taken a sip of his drink and immediately spat it out. With his sharp hearing, he could clearly make out Long Xiaoqing's words from the car behind.

Seeing Yang Ye's odd reaction, Liu Xuan laughed, "Mr. Yang, what's wrong?"

Yang Ye waved his hand, "Brother Liu, just call me Ye. Nothing, I just choked on the water."

Liu Xuan asked no further and focused on driving.

"Hahaha..."

After a brief pause, Xia Li burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. Lina, at the wheel, blushed deeply and nearly crashed into a boulder.

Yang Yu's face reddened, and she tapped Long Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, you mustn't say such things to outsiders."

Long Xiaoqing replied, "But Sister isn't an outsider!"

Yang Yu said, "Even so, you can't say it! These are private matters between you and Ye, not to be shared freely."

"Alright, I understand," Long Xiaoqing nodded.

"Xiaoqing, you truly are innocent. Since you're here, stay a few days and enjoy yourself," Yang Yu said, holding her hand with a smile.

...

After driving for more than ten minutes, the cars stopped on a flat expanse of ground.

Everyone got out, and Liu Xuan arranged for his men to keep watch and set up tents.

Yang Ye pulled Long Xiaoqing aside to a secluded spot.

"Xiaoqing, give me a kiss!" he said, embracing her behind a massive stone.

No sooner had he spoken than Long Xiaoqing pressed her lips to his.

After a long moment, they finally parted.

"Xiaoqing, can you transform now?" Yang Ye asked curiously.

Long Xiaoqing nodded, "After absorbing all that power, I've truly grown up!"

Yang Ye grinned, "So, can I finally have you?"

Long Xiaoqing understood his meaning and blushed, "Of course!"

"By the way!"

Long Xiaoqing raised her hand and took out a piece of paper from her storage ring, handing it to Yang Ye.

After she had transformed, the steward Mu had given her a storage ring.

Under the faint starlight, Yang Ye could make out the words on the paper.

It was written in English, which Long Xiaoqing couldn't read. She had wanted Maoli to translate it, but had come straight here instead.

Long Xiaoqing asked, full of curiosity, "Husband, what does it say?"

After reading, Yang Ye looked troubled.

It turned out that Steward Mu had informed Yang Ye that, although the lady's body had matured, it was not yet the appropriate time to unlock her core.

For female dragons, this was a crucial event in their entire life cycle, affecting Long Xiaoqing's future cultivation level.

Even if it wasn't for Long Xiaoqing's sake, Yang Ye couldn't proceed. Otherwise, his little brother might not survive...

At the very least, he would have to wait until he reached the Star God realm.

"Xiaoqing, I'm afraid we can't practice dual cultivation just yet," Yang Ye said through gritted teeth.

He was still in the Stellar realm. To reach the Star God realm, he had to go through three major stages: Super Star, Star River, and Star Lord.
