Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2463 - 2527: Do You Have to Brush Your Teeth Before Kissing?

"As for the Upper Dantian, unfortunately, our sect doesn’t have any records in that regard, but I dare to make a bold guess that this might be different from the traditional cultivation methods, perhaps not requiring one to follow the meridians..."Murong Yuanqing clapped his hands and said, "That seems to be the case. There is indeed very little record about the Upper Dantian. However, years ago, I read some ancient texts, and the ’Eastern Medical Book’ cited: ’The Upper Dantian is the abode of the spirit.’

"I also remembered, the ’Immortal Scripture’ says: ’The brain is the ocean of marrow, the Upper Dantian; the heart is the Scarlet Fire, the Middle Dantian; three inches below the navel is the Lower Dantian. The Lower Dantian is the abode of essence; the Middle Dantian, the abode of qi; the Upper Dantian, the abode of the spirit.’ An elder responded: "We all only cultivate the Lower Dantian, but it seems the Upper Dantian is to cultivate the spirit!"

Elder Su nodded and said, "That’s right, but who among us has the corresponding technique?"

With this question, everyone shook their heads, once again falling into a deadlock. After all, without the corresponding technique, it means the technique is hard to be perfected, and there will be variables, especially since the Lower Dantian and the Upper Dantian are different.

Li Yifei grew somewhat anxious, worried that Su Li’s condition might worsen tomorrow. Therefore, come what may, they needed a strategy immediately, and dual cultivation must start by tomorrow at the latest, or it would be too late.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but say, "Respected elders, time is of the essence now. If we really can’t come up with a solution, why not... let fate decide? Choose a set of Dual Cultivation Technique and let us explore it ourselves; perhaps we might succeed."

"Reckless! Such things can’t be played with, or it will be extremely dangerous for you!" Yao Lingfu glared at Li Yifei and said, "It’s not just about the technique now; it’s also about your body. What will happen if you fall unconscious or even put your life at risk then?"

"Lingfu, what does this mean?" Elder Su asked in confusion.

Li Yifei hurriedly said, "Great-grandfather, it’s nothing..."

"No, Lingfu, you tell us," Elder Su stopped Li Yifei.

Yao Lingfu sighed and explained the situation inside. Elder Su was stunned upon hearing it, sighing deeply. He hadn’t imagined Li Yifei was taking such a risk and said, "Yifei... if this is the case, then abandon this plan. Your life is important too. You can’t risk an accident over such matters!"

Li Yifei, being the outstanding figure of the younger generation and the one Murong Yuanqing is nurturing as a successor, was essential for the future of Huaxia after the older generation’s time had passed. Thus, he expressed his disagreement.

Li Yifei glanced over at everyone and said, "I’m fine. I’ve always been blessed with great fortune and luck. It’ll be okay this time too. Besides, it’s not impossible. The Worm restricts me but also resides within me, so it won’t let me face danger. If I die, it wouldn’t survive either."

"You can’t say that. That’s just your guess. If things don’t go that way, it will be terrible!" Yao Lingfu replied.

"Elder Yao, thank you for your concern. I’m speaking from past experiences. The Worm restricts me while also protecting me, so I’m more inclined to trust it," Li Yifei said.

Yao Lingfu still shook her head. Murong Yuanqing hesitated to speak; he certainly didn’t want Li Yifei to take risks, but he couldn’t stop him in this matter. However, if Li Yifei were in danger, it would be a loss for the nation and something Murong Yuanqing and others couldn’t bear.

Elder Su remained silent. On one side was his granddaughter, whom he would trade his life to save, and on the other was Li Yifei, potentially the only one capable of rescuing her. Li Yifei had the highest cultivation among the younger generation, and everyone acknowledged his deeds. If he couldn’t save her, then the Dual Cultivation Technique would be rendered useless.

So, he hesitated, listening as Li Yifei said, "Respected elders, I am confident, so there’s no need to worry too much. We should quickly discuss and decide on a Dual Cultivation Technique for me to execute. We can’t delay any longer!"

"Yifei, don’t try..." Elder Su finally raised his head and said to Li Yifei.

"No, great-grandfather, you don’t need to say anything. I have to try," Li Yifei resolutely said.

"Alas!" Elder Su sighed deeply, and Murong Yuanqing said, "Yifei, you decide and execute it. It’s also for saving lives!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Li Yifei’s determination, Yao Lingfu stopped advising and instead took out a box of medicine, saying, "Take this fifteen minutes before use. Once the medicine takes effect, you can begin. If you still feel insufficient Yang energy at the time, you can take one more pill. However, remember only to take two pills in a short time, or your body won’t handle it."

"Alright, thank you, Elder Yao. I’ll remember!" Li Yifei said.

Yao Lingfu nodded, and Li Yifei put the medicine away and then heard someone else remind him.

Without further delay, Li Yifei returned to Su Li’s residence to adjust his body, preparing for the dual cultivation tonight or tomorrow.

By evening, Su Li, who had undergone treatment, was more conscious but still had no appetite and drank little water. She stared wide-eyed at Li Yifei with a dazed expression. Li Yifei didn’t disturb her, waiting for Su Li to come to her senses. Suddenly, he heard her call his name.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yifei leaned against the bedside, turning to look at Su Li.

"I... Are we really going to do that?" Su Li hesitated for a moment before asking.

Li Yifei showed a smile and said, "Are you still very nervous?"

"I’m very nervous. Apart from you, I haven’t been close to any other man!" Su Lio said.

"Would you like to...warm up a bit first?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Lio asked in confusion.

"I mean, let’s practice a little first, so you won’t have a hard time adapting tomorrow and waste time," Li Yifei said.

Since they had already decided to go through with this, there was no point in hesitating. Li Yifei was willing to sacrifice his life for her, so naturally, he wouldn’t be too pretentious.

Su Lio immediately became speechless, looked at Li Yifei, and said with wide eyes, "You...we still need to practice?"

"Ali, once we start tomorrow, we need to be very focused. So, if possible, practicing now is better to avoid wasting precious time tomorrow."

"How can we do this!" Su Lio became anxious and said, "Li Yifei, you’re teasing me, right? You’re saying this on purpose!"

"I’m not lying. But if you don’t agree, that’s fine. I certainly wouldn’t say this intentionally just to take advantage."

That’s... Su Lio nodded in her mind, fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "The practice you’re talking about, is it kissing practice, or something else?"

"It can be anything. We can take it step by step. If you can’t accept it, we’ll stop," Li Yifei said.

There’s something else... Su Lio shivered slightly, not because of cold but a sudden fear in her heart. However, seeing Li Yifei’s eyes made her calm down. She released her biting lip and said, "Okay, let’s start with...a hug first and try."

"Alright!" Li Yifei nodded, turned sideways, and opened his arms, saying, "Come over here, we’ll take it slow."

"Mm!" Su Lio slowly leaned over, first resting her face on Li Yifei’s chest, and with her upper hand, slowly approached, first gripping Li Yifei’s clothes, like a little worm crawling slowly, she wrapped her arms around him.

Even this made Su Lio very nervous, but Li Yifei wasn’t in a hurry. After Su Lio adapted for a while, he said, "May I hug you as well?"

"Okay...alright." Su Lio’s body tightened, Li Yifei wrapped his arms around her, and they hugged each other. Su Lio’s body slowly softened from stiffness, finally resting in Li Yifei’s embrace. After a long time, she exhaled and said, "Is this what hugging feels like?"

"If you relax a bit more, that’s hugging," Li Yifei said.

"Okay." Su Lio nodded, trying to relax while thinking, if she could try these things before dying, it wouldn’t be a wasted life. Of course, she was only thinking about hugging and kissing, not further intimate relations.

After hugging for a while, Su Lio seemed to adapt more and proactively said, "Should I brush my teeth first? I...haven’t brushed them today!"

"Uh..." Li Yifei was a bit taken aback, but after responding, said, "I’ll carry you over then."

"Okay!" Su Lio nodded.

Li Yifei carried her to the bathroom, and after she brushed her teeth, he was ready to head back. But Su Lio tugged at his clothes, nervously asking, "Aren’t you going to brush?"

Do you need to brush your teeth for kissing? Li Yifei thought his mouth was clean enough, with no bad breath, but...he obediently brushed his teeth and then exhaled, saying to Su Lio, "Is it okay now?"

"I don’t know!" Su Lio shook her head.

Li Yifei bent down, picked her up, and walked back to the bedroom, saying, "It’s okay now, and we use the same toothpaste, so our mouths taste the same."

"Is that so?" Su Lio was a bit distracted, partly because she was nervous, as they were really going to kiss now.

"Do you want to kiss me or should I kiss you?" Li Yifei asked.

"Can I...wait a bit? I feel a bit cold, let’s...wait until the treatment is over," Su Lio asked.

"Alright!" Li Yifei held her in his arms, hands intertwined, and infused True Qi to help regulate her body.

This adjustment lasted over ten minutes, and Li Yifei withdrew his True Qi, only to find Su Lio asleep in his arms. Her breathing was even...but her heart rate betrayed her; she was pretending to be asleep. Li Yifei couldn’t help but want to laugh, moved slightly, and looking at the ’sleeping’ Su Lio, said, "Falling asleep so quickly? Like a little pig. But earlier, you clearly agreed to practice kissing, and now you fell asleep. No way, I must sneak a kiss, otherwise, wouldn’t all this time be wasted?"

Saying this, Li Yifei seemed to move forward to kiss Su Lio, who instantly tensed up, unable to continue pretending to sleep.
