One might think that this was because the current Ailsa was far more powerful than the previous Elena had been. And, this would make sense. Primordial Yin grew more and more valuable the longer a female cultivator held onto their virginity. In addition, the stronger the female cultivator, the stronger their Primordial Yin would be.
However, Ryu felt that the reason was deeper than this.
Back then, he couldn't perceive qi at all. He didn't even understand what it meant to cultivate, so how could he have? With a False Spiritual Foundation, he innately had no affinity to the qi around him.
In that case, it was no wonder he hardly grasped the importance of Elena's Primordial Yin. In fact, until this point, he had still thought that Primordial Yin was some superficial thing too difficult to grasp, believing the true importance in taking a woman's first time was in the melding of his soul with hers.
Ryu sighed. Seeing such a beautiful sit on top of his like this, all for the sake of him not damaging his soul, how could he not feel lucky?
'Ailsa¦ Elena¦ Nuri¦'
Ryu closed his eyes.
In this life, he would be free and unfettered. What was the point of fighting against the heavens and the chains it placed on him if he only placed more restrictions on himself?
Seeing such a woman sacrificing for him like this¦ Even if she herself felt it wasn't one¦ Filled him was a sort of complicated feeling he couldn't ignore.
Ryu felt Ailsa's Primordial Yin circulate around his body before surging into his eyes. The sound of shattering barriers reverberated in his mind as one seal after another was shattered completely.
Ryu felt strength surging into him. Karmic Qi flowed through his eyes, fueling it with strength the likes of which he had never experienced before.
In the blink of an eye, over 20 seals had been shattered.
Ryu's finger twitched. However, Ailsa was too lost in her own world to notice.
'To split my mind between two worlds? Is that even difficult?'
Ryu's body suddenly shot up.
Ailsa squealed, but found herself wrapped up in a tight grasp before she could react.
Realizing that Ryu was awake, her body flushed completely scarlet. It looked as though she was trying to make her skin tone match her eyes as closely as possible.
Soon, she quickly recovered. "You idiot! If you leave that world now¦!"
Ailsa's words were caught in a moan.
Ryu only slightly shifted, but she was caught completely off guard. It was completely different from controlling the pace herself.
Ailsa felt that something was different about Ryu for some reason. But, her blush couldn't help but deepen at that moment. Speaking to Ryu while they were connected like this was too dangerous. She simply didn't trust her voice in the slightest.
<br/>"And were you planning on taking my virginity away without taking responsibility?" Ryu continued.
Ailsa was speechless. Sure, Ryu was considered a virgin in this lifetime. She could feel his pure Primordial Yang nurturing her body right now. If she wasn't taking things so slowly, she would have been intoxicated by the feeling long ago.
Plus, weren't these words she should be saying?
"Why are you looking away?" Ryu pressed. "You didn't even try to fuse our souls. Why?"
Ailsa buried her head in Ryu's chest. Of course she understood why he was saying all of these things. And, considering the smile on his face right now, he obviously wasn't angry. But, none of that stopped her heart from beating like a wild rabbit's, pumping at a speed she didn't even think was possible.
"¦ You idiot¦" Ailsa said softly, her words coming out between gasps. "¦ I was supposed to help raise your Ice Flame to the next level so that you could heal yourself¦ You're wasting all of my efforts¦"
"I'll be fine." Ryu smiled. "You, however¦ I'm not sure."
"What do you Ah!"
Ailsa found herself pinned beneath Ryu, the feeling of his cock slowly sliding out of her making her mind go blank.
Ryu's lips covered her own, masking the moans she would have made when she felt him slide forward again.
Ailsa's mind went blank. She had no ability to accomplish what she wanted to in this state. However, Ryu didn't seem to mind in the slightest. His hips moved like an eternal piston.
Still, Ryu could have never expected what happened next. He had hardly gotten into a rhythm, an excitement filling his loins, when his and Ailsa's souls intertwined.
Their spontaneous union wasn't something that shocked Ryu. Rather, it was the result of it.
It was said that the union of husband and wife occurred when two cultivators fused their soul as one. However, what Ryu never considered was what would happen if this wasn't the first time, but rather the second time he was fusing his soul. What happened when a husband had two wives?
Ryu was certain of only two things in regards to his reincarnation.
These eyes of his were the exact same. If not for this, it would have been impossible for him to take the treasures Elena had given him during his first life into this one. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
The second thing he was certain of was that his soul was the same. If not for this, how could he still have his memories? He would be a completely different person if he had a different soul. This was why Ryu was so certain that the moment he entered the Soul Birth Realm, he would be able to tell whether or not his wife was alive or not.
But, what Ryu had forgotten to consider was that if he took a second woman as his wife, it would no longer just be him and Elena connected. Rather, it would become the three of them connected as one with him as a bridge.
What would happen, then, if Ryu fused with Ailsa? Would he still have to wait until he entered the Soul Birth Realm?
Apparently, the answer to this question was no.
At some unknown place, some unknown distance away, a pink haired beauty suddenly felt a shock run through her soul.
