CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 507 MORNING

After Ruan Hongzhuang brushed her teeth and washed her face, she went straight to the balcony.

Ever since she got together with Shen Siyuan, she rarely wore makeup, because it wasn’t necessary at all. Her bare face was her most perfect state.

She stood to the side, watching Shen Siyuan exercise. No, it would be more accurate to say he was practicing cultivation.

Shen Siyuan was only wearing shorts, and as he moved, his muscles trembled, and his tendons and bones stretched. It was a sight that made people gasp, yet it possessed a unique masculine beauty, a beauty of strength.

There’s a saying, ’walking hormones,’ and it’s not an exaggeration to use it to describe Shen Siyuan. He was like the lion king among a pride, the alpha among wolves, a symbol of strength and power, with a deadly allure to the opposite sex, and certainly to some of the same sex, as well.

Ruan Hongzhuang was now extremely grateful that she had acted early; otherwise, it might not have been her turn at all.

Just like Song Meixian, who she had met once before, that woman really lived up to her name, as beautiful as a fairy. Even as a woman, Ruan felt a sense of heartbeat when she saw her.

Ruan Hongzhuang lightly bit her lip, standing silently to the side, watching Shen Siyuan finish his set of movements.

She immediately stepped forward, offering a towel and water.

The seemingly slow movements had made Shen Siyuan sweat like rain, streaming down his neck, collecting at his waist, soaking his shorts as if they’d been washed with water.

Shen Siyuan raised his head, drinking water in gulps, while Ruan Hongzhuang used the towel to wipe his body.

Her fingertips touched, feeling his skin was like a tire—elastic and firm, yet smooth as jade.

"He’s not even human," Ruan Hongzhuang muttered to herself.

Imagine being rolled over by a tire every day—no one could withstand that.

"You take a rest, watch me practice, and see if there are any mistakes," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Alright," Shen Siyuan sat down beside her to take a break.

The ’Great Arhat Eighteen Forms’ not only heavily depleted his physical strength but also his essence energy.

This martial art, if practiced by an ordinary person, would probably render them completely exhausted at the first stage.

In addition, it requires a large amount of meat and energy for support.

This is one of the fundamental dharma practices of Lantuo Temple in the Great Wilderness. Although the monks are vegetarian, they supplement with various precious herbs to avoid bodily deficits. The Great Wilderness is vast and rich in natural resources, so these are not concerns.

However, Shen Siyuan had no choice but to consider these things. The spiritual energy of this land was completely absent. Not to mention precious herbs, even a hundred-year-old ginseng was hard to find. Fortunately, there was no shortage of meat, and high-energy foods were plentiful, allowing Shen Siyuan to continue his cultivation.

But even so, it required a lot of money. If Shen Siyuan were on his own, with his past salary, he might very well go bankrupt just feeding himself.

Luckily now, he was fully supported by Ruan Hongzhuang, without needing to spend a penny, and indeed, living off others is sweet.

Shen Siyuan absent-mindedly watched Ruan Hongzhuang practice the ’Heavenly Maiden’s Skill.’

This cultivation technique had elegant movements, like a dance. If not for Ruan Hongzhuang’s long-term practice of yoga and Pilates, she might not have been able to perform many of the moves.

The body posture, gestures, and expressions all needed to coordinate perfectly, without the slightest error.

Ruan Hongzhuang was quite talented, despite having just learned it recently. Her execution was flawless, the only flaw being a lack of fluidity, as many moves required thought before proceeding to the next step, making the overall sequence seem not entirely cohesive.

This couldn’t be helped; it wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight. Slow and steady practice would lead to proficiency, which would naturally result in smooth performance.

Ruan Hongzhuang caught a glimpse of Shen Siyuan’s distracted expression from the corner of her eye, and anger rose in her heart.

Shen Siyuan didn’t notice until the light in front of him suddenly dimmed. He looked up and saw Ruan Hongzhuang standing before him, slightly angry.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Siyuan asked in surprise.

What happened for her to suddenly get upset?

"Do I not attract you at all? Not even a glance? Or is it that last night’s fun has put you into Wisdom Time now?"

Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly bent forward, bringing her face close to Shen Siyuan, so close he could feel her breath.

Shen Siyuan thought to himself, last night she was all over my mind. Having seen the perfected ’Heavenly Maiden’s Skill’ so often, her awkward movements naturally lacked appeal. The threshold had been raised.

Wait, if this continues, would he eventually get tired of Ruan Hongzhuang? It seemed possible upon consideration.

Of course, it was also related to what Ruan Hongzhuang called Wisdom Time, but he couldn’t acknowledge that.

"You know about that?" Shen Siyuan asked, surprised.

It was obvious he was trying to change the topic.

But Ruan Hongzhuang saw through his little trick, directly wrapping her arms around his neck and sitting on his lap.

"It’s still early, not good if the kids see us, hehe..."

"Don’t laugh at me foolishly; don’t think I don’t know what you did!" Ruan Hongzhuang pinched his cheek.

"Sigh, you can’t blame me," Shen Siyuan sighed.

Ruan Hongzhuang was speechless, "Are you really blaming me?"

Shen Siyuan silently nodded.

Ruan Hongzhuang laughed in exasperation.

"How come I never noticed how thick-skinned you are?"

Shen Siyuan said nothing, instead leaning his head forward. Their foreheads met, and Ruan Hongzhuang felt a moment of daze. When she regained her senses, she found herself standing on the surface of an endless ocean.

She reacted instantly, looking up at the sky, and sure enough, saw Shen Siyuan sitting cross-legged in the void, golden light swirling around him, the blazing sun suspended behind his head, radiating divine light and awe-inspiring divine power.

Although she had seen it before, Ruan Hongzhuang was still captivated, staring at the sky with admiration in her eyes.

But suddenly, she sensed a figure flashing beneath her feet.

Clearly, her eyes were fixed on the sky, yet she managed to see this figure.

So she instinctively lowered her head to look at the sea surface, then saw another version of herself rising from the sea.

She was wearing a sheer gauze, with a bareback and bare feet, lightly tapping the sea with her toes, creating ripples, circling around her while emitting bursts of laughter, her posture elegant and enchanting.

Ruan Hongzhuang instantly recognized it as the ’Heavenly Maiden’s Skill,’ embodied in her every smile and movement, showcasing its essence.

"Who are you?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.

The figure didn’t answer but suddenly approached Ruan Hongzhuang’s face. Just then, streaks of golden light, like a golden dragon, surrounded her to protect her from harm. This was the Merit Golden Light.

The Female Demon looked up at Shen Siyuan in the sky, then flew upwards, her body moving gracefully in the air, like a Flying Goddess. There was holiness mixed with desire; every shoulder raise, hand wave, and waist twist could ignite one’s passions.

But Shen Siyuan, sitting cross-legged in the air, had the blazing sun burst brightly behind his head. The entire world turned blindingly white in an instant, and the Female Demon let out an angry curse, then vanished like a bubble, evaporating without a trace.

Ruan Hongzhuang was also ejected from Shen Siyuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Her once dazed eyes refocused.

"What... what was that?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked, somewhat confused.

"Heart Demon."

"Heart Demon?"

"Yes, the day I taught you the ’Heavenly Maiden’s Skill,’ a Female Demon was born in my Sea of Consciousness, taking your appearance. It’s like she was born for the ’Heavenly Maiden’s Skill,’ trying day and night to drag me into the Demon Path, forever sinking into seas of desire..."

"So can’t you just attract any woman you like, pull her into your Sea of Consciousness, and have fun with her every night?"

"???"

Shen Siyuan was left speechless. Why was her focus so weird?

What do you mean by pulling someone into your Sea of Consciousness? This is nothing more than the personal imagination giving birth to a Heart Demon.

Moreover, not everyone can give birth to a Heart Demon. Otherwise, those watching short videos would all have exhausted themselves to death.
