Chapter 62: Male–Female Synchronization, Cultivation Multiplied
A few minutes later…
"Wuu… how could you hit me that hard? It really hurts…" Wang Dong curled up in the corner of the bed, her eyes red, looking pitifully at Ye Chen.
Her disguise had been broken by Ye Chen's "disciplinary" strike. The illusion dissolved completely.
Her short hair had turned into flowing pink-and-blue strands that fell gently over her shoulders.
Her once boyish face softened into delicate, stunning beauty.
Those clear, pink-blue eyes that once carried a certain heroic light now shimmered with tears—like rippling autumn water—so dazzling and full of emotion that no one could look away.
Without the disguise, Wang Dong's androgynous features transformed into undeniable feminine charm.
Ye Chen had to admit it—she truly looked like a goddess descending to the mortal world.
The more he looked, the harder it became to look away. The more he looked, the more he liked it.
"Alright, stop crying. It's just a little red mark. You should've told me earlier." Ye Chen felt a bit uneasy under those watery, accusing eyes and hurried to explain.
He really hadn't used much force—just a few light slaps. She was clearly exaggerating.
"What do you mean 'a little red mark'? It's completely numb now…" Wang Dong glared at him miserably.
"Well, it's your fault for not admitting it earlier. I almost thought my family's medical arts were wrong! That's something tied to my lineage—I couldn't risk it."
"Luckily, my family's technique was fine. It's just your… irregular feminine cycle."
Ye Chen sighed in mock relief.
"Ye Chen, you—you jerk! How dare you say that! I'll kill you!!"
The instant she heard those words, Wang Dong's temper exploded. She lunged toward Ye Chen to give him a beating.
Naturally, Ye Chen pinned her down again with ease.
"Don't struggle—it was a misunderstanding. I'll make it up to you, okay?"
Ye Chen pressed her lightly onto the bed, sitting atop her backside. Hmm, the seat was quite soft.
"Hmph, I don't want your 'makeup.'"
Wang Dong huffed, turning her face away, clearly sulking.
"Fine, suit yourself. I was going to test the upgraded version of that cultivation technique with you, but I guess not."
Ye Chen shrugged like it was no big deal.
"What! There's an upgraded version of the technique? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Wang Dong's eyes widened.
She had thought the basic Heavenly Resonance Technique was already amazing—yet there was a superior form?! That sly Ye Chen had kept it to himself on purpose!
"The upgraded version requires a male and female pair. I didn't know you were a girl, so what could I say?" Ye Chen shot her a sideways glance.
His look clearly said, That's not my fault—you're the one pretending.
He loosened his grip on her wrist and stood up casually.
"Then… what's so great about the upgraded version?" Wang Dong asked quickly, her big eyes full of curiosity.
Though Ye Chen had seen through her disguise, she strangely wasn't upset. In fact, she felt oddly thrilled.
Especially recalling that look of awe in Ye Chen's eyes earlier—it filled her with smug satisfaction.
He was definitely captivated by her beauty.
And if his secret technique had an upgraded version…
She'd agreed to live with him precisely for faster cultivation!
If the normal one worked so well, how could she resist trying the advanced version?
"It doubles the strength of the effect. Normally, the boost caps around ten times your speed—but this one can easily reach twentyfold. Plus, the male-female yin-yang resonance stabilizes our energy flow. It lasts longer too—maybe two or three hours."
Ye Chen explained seriously.
"Really?!"
Wang Dong's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Two hours at twenty times the normal speed meant achieving forty hours of cultivation in a single session.
For someone with her lazy training habits, that much progress usually took twenty days—or even a full month.
One cultivation session equaling a month's work? Who in their right mind could resist?
"Of course. You'll see when we try it."
Ye Chen smiled faintly.
"Good, good! Then let's start right now~" Wang Dong said eagerly, forgetting her earlier grievance entirely.
Her rear still stung a bit, but compared to a technique that boosted cultivation speed, that was nothing worth fussing over.
In seconds, she sat cross-legged across from Ye Chen, close enough that their knees almost touched.
"This upgraded method is powerful but requires high synchronicity. We'll need direct body contact to align our spiritual flows. You'll have to sit against me for full resonance."
Ye Chen eyed her calmly as he spoke.
"H-Hugging??" Wang Dong's face turned scarlet instantly, her expression adorably flustered.
"If you're shy, it's fine—we can just do normal cultivation." Ye Chen said with feigned indifference.
"I'm not shy!" she blurted, gritting her teeth. After a moment of hesitation, she scooted closer, cheeks still pink.
It was just an embrace. Nothing to be scared of.
Besides, Ye Chen smelled faintly pleasant, and though it made her heart race, it wasn't unpleasant—just… distracting.
She could endure it for the sake of progress.
...
...
Moments later.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on Wang Dong's soft bed.
Wang Dong sat directly in his lap, straddling him.
Their bodies pressed tightly together.
Ye Chen could… easily sense her presence. Her physique was surprisingly well-developed.
"U-Um, are you sure this is the right posture…" Wang Dong's voice was shaky, her ears a deep crimson.
Being this close to Ye Chen, breathing in his scent—it was making her heart beat uncontrollably fast.
"Yes. I'm about to start. Match your breathing and soul power rhythm to mine. Focus—don't get distracted."
Ye Chen inhaled the faint fragrance of Wang Dong's hair before speaking softly.
Without her disguise, her scent was even sweeter—apparently, that transformation technique had hidden not only her appearance but even her natural fragrance.
"Mn… okay…"
Wang Dong quickly pushed away her random thoughts, focusing entirely on mimicking Ye Chen's soul power flow as they began their joint meditation.
Whoosh… whoosh…
As their cultivation deepened, the surrounding spiritual energy began surging toward them, swirling like a miniature storm.
Their soul power circulation grew crazily fast.
Tenfold.
Fifteenfold.
Twentyfold.
Thirtyfold!
Perhaps it was because their connection was naturally strong now, or maybe because Ye Chen truly liked Wang Dong's real form—or perhaps because her feelings toward him had grown too.
Whatever the reasons, their synergy skyrocketed.
Their resonant cultivation speed soared straight to thirty times.
Even Ye Chen himself hadn't expected that much.
"T-Thirty times? You said twenty!" Wang Dong whispered, her bright eyes wide with astonishment.
"Don't lose focus. The stronger our synchronization, the faster we cultivate." Ye Chen lightly patted her soft backside, his tone steady.
The moment might have been intimate, but even Ye Chen couldn't ignore such exponential results. He quickly channeled all his focus into cultivation.
"Mmm…"
Wang Dong's face reddened further, but she knew opportunities like this were rare. She quickly composed herself and poured her energy into cultivation.
