CHAPTER 454: CHAPTER 454: COMMOTION IN THE NIGHT

No matter what they did, they couldn’t pass through it.

How could mere mortals with some superpowers and guns compete with cultivators who had broken through the golden core stage? That was just a pipe dream.

Even with all the commotion there, the other people who were asleep weren’t woken up.

This was because while Gu Fan created a barrier to protect the room the president was in, Murong Yi had created another to isolate the other areas from the corridor where everything was taking place.

In this way, not a sound leaked.

The people causing trouble were surprised that after such a huge commotion, no one else came.

This made them realize that something was wrong and we’re so scared that they ran away.

"It seems that there is a lot of internal strife in the central government." Chu Miao, who was sleeping in Ye Xuan’s arms after a round of sex commented.

The two had asked to be arranged to sleep in the same room.

Chu Miao had also created a barrier as soon as they walked in. The two headed to the bathroom together and everything started in the shower.

By the time they were done, they had made love in various spots and finished on the bed.

It looked like the dual cultivation technique they practiced wouldn’t allow them to rest. In fact, their hunger for each other was growing with every intimate session, but they were learning how to control it, so that it doesn’t end up controlling them.

They had realized that this technique left behind by the Chu family ancestors not only helped in increasing and solidifying spiritual energy, but also cultivated the mind.

It helped to increase mental strength which was significant for people who practiced the various professions including alchemy, talisman drawing, and array formations.

Since all these trades required mental strength to accomplish, the more the mental strength of a cultivator expanded, the better.

Now, both Ye Xuan and Chu Miao had a way to cultivate their mental strength using the effects of the dual cultivation technique.

For now, however, they didn’t mind indulging themselves whenever they could.

"Mmm...that’s why I left people to guard the president.

I trust my own people more." Ye Xuan replied to Chu Miao’s earlier comment.

"He will wake up tomorrow. Then maybe some things will change." Chu Miao said sleepily.

Ye Xuan could hear the fatigue and sleep in her voice and patted her back.

"Go to sleep. We’ll talk tomorrow when you wake up." He said in a side and husky voice as if coaxing a child to sleep.

Chu Miao didn’t reply as she was already fast asleep.

It was funny how she found herself so relaxed and unguarded when she was with Ye Xuan.

Cultivators didn’t necessarily need sleep, but their bodies would also function better if taken care of well and if they rested it occasionally.

Hence, Chu Miao practiced a healthy habit of eating and sleeping everyday like a normal person.

She had never let the status of a cultivator restrict her.

The others also realized that they could go for long periods of time without food or sleep, but since the person who taught them cultivation lived normally, they just followed suit.

If they were in the cultivation world, they would be the weirdest bunch of people.

That night, both Chu Miao and Ye Xuan seemed to have the same dream.

They found themselves in a place that had a striking resemblance to the ancient battlefield in terms of aura and spiritual energy.

However, the appearance was different. The two were in what looked like a massive palace decorated with fine jade and spirit stones were everywhere on the walls and floors.

There were also other colorful stones that were made into furniture and ornaments that decorated the palace.

Materials that even as little as the size of a fingernail when added to weapons while crafting them could turn a regular spiritual weapon into a divine one were also used to make things like candlesticks and other decorations.

Such extravagance was unheard of even in the ancient era where Chu Yue had been before.

There were people walking around the palace dressed in flowing robes but the two didn’t recognize them.

However, when they walked into what looked like a throne room, they were shocked by what they saw. Even though they were having an individual dream, the scenes they saw were the same.

At the top of the throne room there were two thrones. Even in movies, this was the first time Chu Miao had seen two thrones placed in the same place.

The thrones were curved from a whole Jade stone and one was white while the other was black.

There were exquisite and lifelike carvings on the two thrones.

The white throne was carved with a tiger on one side and a bird on the other. Even without being told, Chu Miao could tell that the animals on that throne were the white tiger and the vermilion bird.

Even though she hadn’t seen the vermilion bird yet, she had a contract with the white tiger and the aura coming from the white throne was obviously that of the white tiger.

The black throne also had the same type of lifelike carvings but this time it wasn’t a tiger and a bird, but a tortoise and a dragon.

The aura of the tortoise on the throne was the same as that of the black tortoise that Ye Xuan had formed a contract with.

Both of them could tell at this point that this was no coincidence.

They must be connected to this palace and those two thrones.

Just as this thought ran through their minds, two people entered the throne room while holding hands.

It was a man and a woman. When they turned to look at them, both Chu Miao and Ye Xuan were petrified.

The two people were like an original copy of them. The woman looked exactly like Chu Miao while the man was a carbon copy of Ye Xuan.
