Chapter 108.1 : Wind–Thunder Twin Birth (Part 1)
With the completion of the bloodline fusion, Chu Ge's physical strength surged dramatically. He had already had his body scoured and refined by the Dao of Heaven and Earth, giving him an exceptionally powerful physique to begin with.
Whether it was Ye Chen or Luo Lingtian, both had fought him in close combat before, yet when it came to sheer physical strength, they had been utterly crushed by him.
Now that his body had undergone another sublimation, even Chu Ge himself could no longer gauge just how terrifying this overflowing power had become.
"Xiao Ge, you're awake?"
A languid voice sounded from his arms. Chu Ge lifted his gaze, and what met his eyes was a breathtaking expanse of snow-white skin, half-hidden beneath a luxurious long dress.
He immediately felt flames rising within his body.
Ying Qingjue, still drowsy with sleep, met Chu Ge's slightly burning gaze. Not only did she not feel shy, she even deliberately leaned forward a little.
A vast stretch of snowy allure flooded Chu Ge's vision.
Sensing the faintly rising "treasured sword" within its sheath, Chu Ge suddenly realized something was wrong—he seemed to be a bit too restless.
"Mmm, Xiao Ge, I don't have a physical body yet, so I can't help you for now…"
Ying Qingjue drifted out of Chu Ge's embrace, her gaze sweeping over him and that place brimming with killing intent, as she spoke with a trace of apology.
However, the crescent-moon smile in her eyes completely betrayed the mischievous delight in her heart.
"Is it because of the dragon bloodline?"
Chu Ge immediately connected the dots and asked aloud.
"That's right. You're already a true pure-blooded Dragon now, so it's only natural that there'd be some changes."
Ying Qingjue stretched lazily, as if she had just woken up. Her tall, graceful figure was fully revealed before Chu Ge's eyes.
Whether it was her towering snowy peaks, her slender willow-like waist, or her round, jade-pillar-like legs, all were displayed openly before him.
Though he felt somewhat unaccustomed, Chu Ge still suppressed the stirring in his heart.
Indulge when it's time to indulge; restrain when it's time to restrain.
Even though the dragon bloodline had amplified a certain aspect of him, he could still keep it firmly under control.
Seeing that Chu Ge did not react in the way she had hoped, Ying Qingjue pouted in dissatisfaction.
She had wanted to see whether Chu Ge would lose control and come seeking help from her, his "older sister."
Yet Chu Ge's self-discipline was unexpectedly formidable—nothing like that of a hot-blooded young man in his prime.
Naturally, Chu Ge had no idea about Ying Qingjue's little schemes. He looked at the fiery, seductive, and utterly mature beauty before him, exuding the aura of a domineering elder sister.
"Sister Qingjue, will you come out with me?"
Ying Qingjue pondered for only a moment before answering.
"No. I'll stay in the Dragon Abyss Ring for now."
It wasn't that she didn't want to be with Chu Ge; rather, with her current soul-body, every extra moment she stayed outside would mean greater depletion.
Moreover, she wanted to properly spend time with Chu Ge only after her body had been reforged.
As she finished speaking, Ying Qingjue turned into motes of light and entered the Dragon Abyss Ring.
Chu Ge didn't mind and walked out of the room alone.
He didn't see his usually energetic, slightly airheaded senior sister. She was probably cultivating.
Luo Huangjun hadn't come out of seclusion either. The Taihuang Hall felt unexpectedly quiet.
After a moment's thought, Chu Ge decided to make a trip to Shuiyue (Water Moon) Peak.
Some of the things needed for Ying Qingjue's body reforging would require the help of the mature and alluring Elder Shui.
Besides, Chu Ge also found himself missing his two junior sisters and his martial aunt.
A visit naturally couldn't be made without gifts. With a thought, Chu Ge wove together the origin within his body and the Dao-evolving aura.
Two Dao-Manifestation Rings appeared in his hands.
Thinking it over, if he gave these two away, then all the women he had frequent interactions with would already have one.
No, wait… it seemed he had forgotten a certain particularly troublesome martial aunt…
Chu Ge recalled the peerlessly elegant red-clad figure and condensed another Dao-Manifestation Ring.
He had always respected his elders, so naturally he couldn't forget Martial Aunt Dantai Jinglian.
Stepping out of Taihuang Hall, Chu Ge headed straight for Water Moon Peak.
Upon arriving, he learned that Shui Qianrou was currently still at the Alchemy Pavilion handling some affairs and had yet to return.
