for Advance Chapter
However, the moment her gaze fell upon Lingsha's fully exposed, full-breasted charms, her cheeks flushed crimson again. She hurriedly looked away, but her perked-up ears and expectant expression betrayed her inner urgency.
Seeing Rappa's mix of thirst for knowledge and bashful avoidance, Lingsha's smile became even more playful, bordering on mischievous.
She began to speak in a mysterious tone, as if imparting a supreme secret technique:
"Hehehe... Want to break through your bottleneck quickly and master the secrets of multiple Paths? Actually... the secret to this cultivation is—Dual Cultivation."
"D-Dual Cultivation?!" Hearing those words, Rappa cried out as if struck by lightning!
In an instant, her face, already red from shyness, turned as red as a cooked crab, even her neck flushing pink!
"Yes," Lingsha said, smiling as if Rappa's reaction didn't exist at all, her tone light and easy. "Just... like this."
As she spoke, she actually pulled out a mobile device from somewhere! She tapped the screen a few times and turned it toward Rappa and me.
The next second, the screen began playing a video that made even my old face blush!
The footage was none other than the scene of Lingsha and me tangled together in a passionate embrace on the large bed in her room!
It seemed Lingsha had set this up herself. Filmed from a cunning angle, the footage showed Lingsha straddling me naked, her hands locked with mine, her slender waist twisting and turning like a water snake in a fierce, devoted rhythm.
Both of us were drenched in sweat, and Lingsha's mouth was constantly letting out sweet, lingering moans of desire... The decadent sounds drifted clearly from the device...
(Wait! When did Lingsha record this?! She said it was for "memory"?! Are Vidyadhara always this wild?!) I was shocked, but I also felt a surge of thirst.
Beside me, Rappa was clearly seeing such a "scandalous" and stimulating scene for the first time.
She froze completely, her cheeks bulging with a red so deep it looked like it might bleed. Her eyes were wide, her mouth slightly agape, seemingly stripped of her ability to think by this world-shattering sight.
After several seconds, she finally reacted, jumping up like a cat with its tail stepped on. She pointed at Lingsha and shouted, "Scandalous! Shameless! S-Snake Ninja! D-don't try to deceive me with such filthy arts! This... this must be a genjutsu created by the Evil Ninja! An attempt to shake my pure heart of Dao! Hmph! I, the Dazzling Ninja, am as pure as ice and jade; I won't fall for your tricks!"
Seeing Rappa's blustering attempt to act tough, Lingsha's smile grew even deeper.
She put away the device, composed herself, and looked at Rappa with a faint smile. "Hehe, you still don't believe me? Then... I'll let you see it with your own eyes."
Before the words had even finished, the aura around Lingsha changed abruptly!
The gentle, inclusive "Abundance" aura, full of life, receded like a tide. In its place rose a wilder, more primal power—a domineering force filled with the desire for infinite expansion and proliferation. It was the power of the Path of "Propagation"!
Though it was only a shift in aura without a change in physical form, for those of us with keen senses, the fundamental shift in power was unmistakable!
Witnessing Lingsha actually switch Paths right in front of her, Rappa was stunned by the undeniable fact. Her jaw dropped, and for a long time, she couldn't say a word.
She looked at Lingsha, whose aura had shifted to Propagation, and then at me. It seemed she was finally making the difficult connection between "Dual Cultivation" and "Switching Paths."
Her face went from green to white. She suddenly crossed her arms over her chest and squeezed her eyes shut, her long eyelashes trembling violently. She was clearly undergoing an intense internal struggle.
After a while, as if she had finally made a choice, she snapped her eyes open!
Those eyes, once clear, were now filled with a desperate resolve and a... reckless frenzy!
Ignoring Lingsha, she turned abruptly and grabbed me as I sat in the water, still dazed by the sudden turn of events!
Then, in a voice trembling yet incredibly firm, she announced loudly:
"Lord Bat Ninja! For justice! For power! To... defeat the Evil Ninja! Let's... let's perform Dual Cultivation!"
"Eh?!" Rappa's sudden move—clinging to me and shouting for "Dual Cultivation"—startled me, but it made Lingsha chuckle.
So that's all it took?
For the sake of gaining power, she was willing to do something that sounded so questionable (yet seemingly very anticipated)?
Lingsha is truly incredible. With just a few words and a "performance" of switching Paths, she actually managed to hoodwink this chunibyo girl, while also solving the problem of how I was supposed to explain everything!
I looked up and caught Lingsha's gaze, which was filled with mischief and a smile.
We shared a look, seeing the mutual understanding of "mission accomplished" in each other's eyes.
Since Rappa had offered herself up on her own initiative, and for "noble" reasons like "justice" and "power"... there was no reason for us to refuse, right?
Coincidentally, we could use this chance to completely "assimilate" her so she wouldn't cause any more trouble for us later.
"Ahem..." Lingsha spoke first. A gentle, "guiding" smile appeared on her face as she spoke softly to Rappa: "Sister Rappa is indeed talented; you understand immediately. 'Dual Cultivation' is indeed the supreme shortcut to increasing strength and sensing the Paths. However..." she pointed at the grass beneath us, still wet with dew and... other marks, "this place doesn't seem suitable for such a sacred cultivation ceremony. Why don't we move to that bluestone platform by the pool? The terrain is flat, the view is open (though it's all fog now), and it's better for the flow and convergence of 'energy'."
