The moon lingered high above the forest canopy, casting silver light through the open branches. Within a small grove, shielded by trees and layers of mist, Li Chen cradled the burning body of Su Lingxue.
Her skin was flushed, her breath shallow, eyes glazed with a potent mixture of confusion, heat, and desperation. Her arms trembled as they clung to his chest, instinct overpowering rationality.
> Initiating Divine Dual Cultivation: Yin-Yang Eternal Union Scripture...
Partner compatibility: 99%
Commencing process…
The pendant on Li Chen's neck glowed, its warmth spreading into his spine as golden light enveloped them both.
Then—
A pulse.
Like a surge of heaven's essence, it flowed from her core to his and back again. Two rivers meeting in collision.
Su Lingxue gasped, her nails digging into his back as her body arched.
"Don't… stop… please—harder…"
Li Chen, guided by instinct and the scripture echoing in his mind, moved with deep, rhythmic intensity. His qi surged with every motion, the scripture revolving in their meridians.
"Ahh...please...yes....ye...ughn". Every sound has it's own depth and meaning.
"Aah..F**k...umm".
Li chen lifted her and gave her a loud slap on her rear end until it's turned crimson.
"Ohhhh....no..." Before she raised any further voice Li chen shut her mouth with fervent kiss.
Both of their tongue intertwined with eachother like blood vein.
"F**k... f**k me...there ....yes...ahh ....sh*t there...don't ....hold back ".
The sounds of their union echoed through the grove—wet, rhythmic, and increasingly desperate.
"F-faster…" she whimpered. "It's… coming again…"
Soon their love fluids pass into each other.
The cultivation technique required complete synchronization—soul, body, breath.
Their heartbeats aligned.
Li Chen could feel her qi flowing into him—pure Yin essence, cold and fragrant—while his Hongmeng Dao Body returned an unstoppable torrent of Yang energy.
The more they surrendered to instinct, the deeper their connection grew.
Over the course of the night, they collapsed, came together again, then again—sometimes gentle, sometimes urgent, sometimes near feral—until the scripture reached its first milestone:
> Yin-Yang Balance Achieved
Dual Cultivation Rank: 1 – Soulbond Initiated

Dawn arrived, soft and silent, birds calling high above.
Su Lingxue opened her eyes slowly, her body sore, her spirit slightly cracked. She stared at the man beside her, sleeping peacefully with a faint smile on his lips.
She touched her lips, then her abdomen.
I was drugged… and still…
She circulated her qi instinctively.
Suddenly, her face turned pale.
"No…"
She pressed a trembling hand to her lower belly, eyes wide.
"There's… life inside me…"
A faint heartbeat—not hers—echoed through her meridians.
I'm… pregnant?
A storm of emotions crashed through her—shock, shame, fury, despair. Her first instinct was to summon an ice blade and pierce his throat.
Her hand hovered over her spiritual ring.
But…
She lowered it slowly.
Killing him won't change it… the deed is done. Besides, he… saved me.
She looked again at Li Chen, sleeping so serenely under the rising sun. He had shown no hesitation in protecting her. He could have run. Could have taken advantage cruelly.
Instead, he had embraced her heat with calm, comfort… and, strangely, care.
"…Fate is cruel," she whispered bitterly, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye.
Then Li Chen stirred.
He opened his eyes, yawned, and blinked at her.
"Oh… you're awake?"
Su Lingxue sat upright, draping a robe over herself, her cheeks red but her gaze cold.
Li Chen scratched his head. "So… uh… about last night—"
"You have to take responsibility," she interrupted, voice sharp.
Li Chen blinked. "Responsibility?"
"I'm with child," she said flatly.
"…"
Li Chen froze. His jaw slowly dropped.
"W-we just—how can—already?"
Su Lingxue narrowed her eyes. "I'm a Divine Ice Constitution. My body is extremely fertile when… unsealed."
Li Chen coughed, trying to find the right words. "I—uh—then I will. Take responsibility, I mean. I won't run."
She watched him carefully, sensing no hesitation in his tone.
"You're serious?"
"I am. I didn't mean for this to happen, but I won't abandon you… or our child."
A long silence passed. Then, without warning, a chime rang out in Li Chen's mind.

Li Chen's eyes widened. "I—got rewards from the system. For you… and the baby."
Su Lingxue raised a brow. "System?"
He replied hurriedly. "Ah... it's nothing. I was just too shocked from such revelations."
"Let's first get dressed before someone find us in such circumstances ".
She gave him a long stare… then sighed.
"Fine. But after that, you're going to explain how we're raising this child. Together."
