Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 677  It is personal

Wu Long was sitting in the hot spring, with several gorgeous beauties around him, which was a sight for sore eyes in of itself.

Lian Zhiqiu quite thoughtfully installed a cleansing Spiritual Formation when this area was constructed.

Thus they could enjoy the bath even after an intense cultivation session.

In fact, such Spiritual Formations were installed all over this mansion, which first caused quite a few awkward gazes from some of the beauties, and a look of appreciation from Wu Long.

He had a thoughtful look on his face, which led to Nie Xiwang curiously asking "What are you pondering so seriously?", as it was unusual for him to not be carefree in such moments.

"Hmm, a very serious question... I like seeing you naked, but I also like seeing you wearing lingerie. I was thinking if I should have gone to the bedroom instead of the bath... but then again I did enjoy our time here very much...", he responded with a serious expression as a few giggles resounded in the hot springs, as his tone was absolutely serious. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In fact, his ladies knew that he was quite sincere in how seriously he took this very important question.

Nie Xiwang shook her head with a wry smile. At first she thought he was joking to distract from what he really was thinking about, but something told her he answered truthfully.

"There are few questions that are as hard to answer as this...", he shook his head with genuine lament at not getting an answer while laughter erupted around him, seeing that expression.

He spent a few days with his beauties, and then headed for the peak that housed the new Frozen Garden Palace, where he was warmly welcomed, as the Fairies inhabiting the newly constructed palace revealed excitement and joy at seeing him, some more than others.

The younger disciples especially were more open in their reactions, while Elders were more reserved, conscious of their image, yet unable to conceal their feelings from Wu Long nonetheless.

Qiu Yilao appeared as soon as she heard of his arrival, as did Qu Mian.

"Greetings, Valley Master", the former made a formal fist and hand salute with a bow, as did the latter and then all the Palace members in the vicinity.

"Haha, there's no need for all these formalities", Wu Long chuckled raising his hand in a gesture for them to be at ease, as the ladies around him straightened up.

"I know that Valley Master does not require such shows of decorum, but I hope you allow us this little leeway, since tradition helps uphold our identity as a Sect", Qu Mian replied with her usual polite but dry and rather emotionless demeanor, which only changed when she was with Wu Long inside private chambers.

"Hmm, I didn't really think of it in these terms. If that is how you put it I will not object", he nodded, acknowledging the logic behind her words.

It might be a small thing to him, but not for them. After all, now that the differences in cultivation were bridged between the Disciples, Sect Protectors and Elders, what kept their "Is your visit on official matters, or...", Qiu Yilao then asked as the eyes of the ladies around betrayed that they were all eagerly awaiting his answer.

"Haha, no, it is more personal", he chuckled, and a few giggles came from around him as the eyes all around lit up with excitement.

Qiu Yilao smiled, and nodding, raised her hand in a gesture inviting him toward the depths of the Palace with a simple "Please".

He nodded, and moved toward the direction of this Palace's special area while the news of his arrival and its purpose quickly spread among the ladies residing in these halls.

Wu Long spent two weeks within the Frozen Garden Palace, while Fen Baihu closely monitored the outside world.

Contrary to his expectations, and despite the rapid healing of the world, the World Stones seemed to not have stable connection for a longer period.

In this time, the rosiness on the cheeks of the beautiful Fairies inhabiting this mountain peak was becoming more apparent.

"These days I can't really remember what life was like before", one of the Elders shook her head, admitting that once they have accepted abandoning their long-standing principles, her life changed so drastically toward improvement, that the time before seemed distant and foreign instead, as several Elders she was talking with also nodded their heads in agreement.

"I know right, not long ago, I dreamt of waking up in the times of the old Frozen Garden Palace, you can't imagine how scared I got that all that happened was only my imagination", another Elder spoke with a slightly uneasy expression, which quickly appeared on the faces of a few of her colleagues.

"If it's as you describe, you didn't dream, but had a nightmare. Even thinking of that is upsetting", one more beauty spoke up as she slightly shook, as if shaking off the uncomfortable feeling.

"We really have lucked out, if Valley Master didn't choose our Sect, we would've never known how blessed life can be", another Elder spoke, reaffirming everyone's point.

"Hahaha, I just realized, we sound like our Disciples", the Elder who started the discussion chuckled, as wry smiles appeared on the faces of those around.

The Elders could recognize a more youthful gaze in one another. There was that dreamy look, that was lost when they got older even if their appearance remained youthful, but now was revived.

Such conversations were had not only in this group, as even the Disciples recognized the changes in Elders and upper echelon of the Frozen Garden Palace.

The Eternal Duality Valley never stopped training in the time he was traveling, as new Illusion Formations were constructed in the training area within the base of the valley.

Though, there were of course individual training grounds within each individual palace, and the common training area was mainly used for spars and training between members of different palaces.

As Wu Long left the Frozen Garden Palace, he took time to visit other peaks and the common training area to oversee the training and progress of his Sect, which proved to be quite a satisfying experience.

"Haha, you seem to be in good mood", Feng Yi who was training at the training field of the Wu Family Manor noted as he came back, with Bi Rui and Wu Mengqi stopping their spar as they noticed his presence as well.

"Mm, it seems that no one was slacking off in the Sect, and some members have actually made quite good progress, especially the War God Palace", he chuckled.

He did not expect them to work so diligently even when he was not looking, whereas the skills of General Feng's soldiers rose so much in this short time that he struggled to recognize them as the same people.

"Well, Father was never easy on his soldiers, and now that they have your support he would consider it a disgrace if they didn't exceed your expectations...", the red-haired beauty made a wry smile, and then a slightly amused expression appeared on her face.

"What is it? That cunning look says you just thought of something", Wu Long playfully narrowed his eyes as Feng Yi laughed shaking her head.

"No, it's just Father is actually quite competitive, almost childishly so... so I bet he is trying to make his army to keep up with the Frozen Garden Palace in strength", she replied with a chuckle, as Wu Mengqi and Bi Rui began giggling, fully able to picture General Feng's expression when he had that determination.

Wu Long also shook his head with a smile, then looking around with a slightly surprised expression.

"Hmm, I thought I would see Ziyan and Min'er here as well", he noted, as the two were usually quite passionate about Martial Training as well.

"Ah, they along with Sister Sui Luxiao, Sister Xue Bing and Sister Wei Lan asked Fen Baihu to take them for training to her Dream Realm, Sister Ye Ling and Sister Nie Xiwang left to spar there as well just a bit ago", Bi Rui answered, and he nodded with understanding, a smile appearing on his face.

For quite some time, the only ones who interacted with the Celestial Fox were Wu Long and Ye Ling, after all. The fact they took initiative to ask something of the Mythical Beast was a happy occasion.

It also seemed as Fen Baihu was also showing some more goodwill toward his Dao Family, though the progress was slow on both sides.

"Are you going to stay for a bit? If so, can you check my progress with the new sword technique I have been working on?", Wu Mengqi asked, and he nodded, always happy to spend time with his ladies.
