Now, Gu Yan was paralyzed from the neck down. He could see. He could speak. He could feel pain. But he could not move.
"Now," Tian Wudi dusted his hands. "You will stay here. You will watch."
"Watch what?" Gu Yan wheezed, terror filling his eyes.
"Watch how a real Sovereign takes care of a woman."
Tian Wudi turned away from the bleeding pile of trash and looked at the bed.
Madame Xue had fallen off the bed during the fight. She was crawling on the red fur rug. Her gauze robe was torn, revealing her snowy white skin which was now glowing pink from the heat.
"Hot... help me..." she moaned, her eyes unfocused. "I need... water... I need... ice..."
She grabbed Tian Wudi's ankle. She didn't care that he was a pig. Her instincts told her that this creature contained massive amounts of Masculine Yang Energy. To her poisoned body, he was a refreshing oasis in a desert.
Tian Wudi looked down at her. He scanned her meridians.
"The 'Yin Fire' is burning her root," he analyzed clinically. "If I leave her, she dies. If I help her, I gain her Yin Essence, which will help me break through to the Spirit Gathering Realm."
It was a win-win situation. He had no reason to refuse.
He squatted down and scooped her up. Despite being fat, he lifted her easily, carrying her princess-style back to the Warm Jade Bed.
"Madam," he whispered, his voice deep and vibrating against her chest. "Your husband gave you a poison. But don't worry. I am a doctor. A very thorough doctor."
He placed her on the bed. He climbed up next to her. The bed was large enough for his massive bulk.
Gu Yan, lying paralyzed on the floor with a broken nose, watched with wide, bloodshot eyes.
"No..." Gu Yan gurgled. "Don't touch her! She is mine! You filthy animal!"
Tian Wudi looked at Gu Yan and laughed. "Yours? You couldn't satisfy her, so you drugged her. You are unworthy."
Tian Wudi turned his attention back to Madame Xue. She wrapped her arms around his thick neck. She pulled his pig face close to her own. She was desperate.
"So strong..." she whispered, burying her face in his chest.
"Relax," Tian Wudi said.
He quickly searched for the best Dual Cultivation Method.
[The Divine Yin-Yang Scripture].
In the mortal world, sex is just pleasure. But to a Sovereign, it is a mechanism of Qi exchange, a cultivation.
He placed his hand on her lower abdomen. He channeled his Yang Qi. It was warm, golden, and powerful. It entered her body, clashing with the chaotic Yin Fire poison.
"Ahhhhh~!" Madame Xue arched her back. Her scream was not of pain, but of intense release. Her toes curled.
The pleasure of Dual cultivation was a hundred times more intense than mortal friction. It touched the soul.
Tian Wudi removed his green robe. His body was that of a humanoid boar, fat and hairy, but his skin glowed with a mystic light.
"We must dual cultivate to circulate the energy fully," he declared. "For medical reasons, of course."
He leaned over her.
The room then filled with the sounds of heavy breathing and soft cries. The bed shook rhythmically.
As Tian Wudi and Madame Xue connected, a vortex of energy formed around them.
The pink mist in the room was sucked into their bodies.
Tian Wudi felt a cool, refreshing stream of energy flow from Madame Xue into him. This was her pure Primordial Yin. It cooled his overheating Beast Blood. It stabilized his foundation.
Simultaneously, he pushed his rough, domineering Yang energy into her. It burned away the poison and forcefully opened her blocked meridians.
Gu Yan watched. Tears mixed with blood on his face. This was the ultimate humiliation. The pig he despised was "saving" his wife, right in front of him, on his bed, while mocking him.
"I will kill you... I will kill you..." Gu Yan whispered, but his voice was drowned out by his wife's cries of joy.
"Oh, Zhu... Lord Zhu... more energy! Don't stop!"
Tian Wudi laughed. "As you wish, my beauty!"
Hour after hour passed.
He didn't stop and she didn't let him stop.
She kept crying his name with even more deep and loveable honorifics and kept asking for more.
The new candles became used candles and started to burn low.
Boom!
Suddenly, a shockwave erupted from Tian Wudi's body.
The energy accumulation reached the tipping point.
The bottleneck of Body Tempering Stage 5 was smashed.
Stage 6...
Stage 7...
Stage 8...
Stage 9!
He reached the peak of Body Tempering in a single session! The Vital Yin of a starved wife doped by Yin drugs was potent indeed.
Meanwhile, Madame Xue also benefited. Her skin became translucent and glowing. Her cultivation, which had been stagnant for years, broke through to Body Tempering Stage 9 as well.
Finally, the storm subsided.
Tian Wudi sat up on the bed, feeling refreshed. His skin looked a little less rough. His eyes were brighter. He felt endless strength in his muscles.
He looked down. Madame Xue was lying there, wrapped in the silk sheet, sleeping peacefully with a satisfied smile on her face. The poison was gone.
"An excellent harvest," Tian Wudi nodded.
He turned to look at the floor.
Gu Yan passed out from anger and pain some time ago.
"Weak minded fool," Tian Wudi shook his head. "Can't even watch a Master at work to learn something?"
Tian Wudi stood up and dressed himself in his green robe. It was tight again because his muscles had grown denser.
He walked over to Gu Yan's unconscious body. He didn't kill him yet. Killing him now would be too merciful, and also it would alert the Sect behind the Gu Clan too early. A missing Clan Leader causes an investigation. A "sick" Clan Leader is just internal politics.
Tian Wudi bent down and snatched the Spatial Ring from Gu Yan's finger.
