In the early morning, as sunlight filtered through the mist above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and onto Yu Qing's uniquely styled "grave house," he rose quietly.
Glancing at Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi, who were still sound asleep beside him, Yu Qing leaned down and planted a soft kiss on each of their smooth foreheads. Then, he put on his outer robe and stepped out of the bedroom silently.
He went to the kitchen and began preparing breakfast.
As breakfast was served on the table one by one, the family members woke up. The two little lolis, Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan, rubbed their sleepy eyes as they were led out by a maid; Father Duan and Father Zi also appeared by the table, full of energy. The whole family sat together, enjoying this warm breakfast time.
After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways. Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi naturally went to look after their precious children; Xiao Wu took Dugu Yan's hand to find the new friends they had made in the cult; and the two fathers-in-Law went to handle cult affairs.
Meanwhile, Purple Pearl followed Yu Qing like a piece of sweet sticky candy, grinning and keeping pace with him. Wherever Yu Qing went, she followed, her purple eyes always bright and full of anticipation as she looked at him.
Feeling a bit helpless from being followed, Yu Qing stopped, turned around, and ruffled her hair. "Pearl... I have serious business to attend to in a moment. Why don't you go Cultivate for a while? Or... go to Dugu Bo and learn some poison arts? Weren't you always interested in his poison techniques?"
Hearing this, Purple Pearl didn't leave. Instead, she gave a cunning smile, leaned in close to Yu Qing, and lowered her voice, speaking in an "I've already seen through you" tone. "Hehe~ Husband, is the'serious business' you mentioned going to 'contract' those two beautiful sisters that Sister Xin and Sister Ruyi brought back last night? Don't worry~ I'm just following along to see what the new sisters look like. I definitely won't get in the way of you 'flirting with girls'! I promise!" She even raised three fingers as if taking an oath, but the smile on her face became even more mischievous.
Yu Qing: "..." He rubbed his brow, feeling both amused and helpless, his voice carrying a doting resignation: "You..."
Seeing this, Purple Pearl immediately struck while the iron was hot. She grabbed Yu Qing's arm, pressing her proud "conscience" tightly against it, and swayed gently, acting spoiled. "Husband just take me with you I promise to be good! And I can even be your 'wingman'! But..." Her tone shifted, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes, "as an exchange, tonight... you must have a 'deep harmony' session with me! You belong to me for the whole night, okay~?"
Feeling the incredible softness and warmth from his arm and listening to the sugary sweet pleading of the beauty in his arms, the little bit of helplessness in Yu Qing's heart vanished instantly. He smiled and pinched the tip of Purple Pearl's perky nose, nodding in agreement. "Alright, alright~ everything as you wish. Tonight... this husband will dote only on my little Pearl, okay?"
"Yay! Husband is the best!" Purple Pearl cheered immediately, stood on her tiptoes to give Yu Qing a "smack" kiss on the cheek, her face blooming with a brilliant smile.
Thus, Yu Qing took this "sweet little sticky candy" and made his way to the guest courtyard where the Shui Family Sisters were temporarily staying.
Standing before the elegant courtyard gate, Yu Qing straightened his collar and raised his hand to gently knock on the door knocker.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Soon, a brisk sound of footsteps came from inside the courtyard. With a "creak," the gate was pulled open a crack. A pretty little face, filled with a bit of trepidation and anticipation, peeked out—it was the younger sister, Shui Wuyue.
When she saw Yu Qing standing outside, her pretty face turned red in an instant! Like a ripe apple, her gaze became somewhat shifty and evasive as she murmured softly, "Mr... Mr. Yu Qing... good... good morning..."
Yu Qing's expression was natural, as if he didn't see her shy appearance. He greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Wuyue. Did you rest well last night? Are you getting used to this place?"
"It... it was okay..." Shui Wuyue lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"Aren't you going to invite us in to sit?" Yu Qing laughed.
"Ah! So... sorry! Please come in, please come in!" Shui Wuyue finally snapped out of it, quickly stepping aside to invite Yu Qing and Purple Pearl into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Purple Pearl's clever purple eyes immediately began to scan Shui Wuyue from head to toe, left to right, very carefully. After a moment, she nodded with satisfaction, thinking to herself, "Hmm~ petite and exquisite, cute face, lively temperament. She's a first for husband's wife types. Not bad, not bad!"
Then, her gaze turned to the elder sister, Shui Wuxiang, who walked out of the house upon hearing the noise. Seeing Shui Wuxiang's cold-as-ice temperament and tall, graceful figure, another light flashed in Purple Pearl's eyes: "Wow! An ice beauty! This figure... it's almost catching up to Sister Fox Consort. Husband will definitely like her. During the harmony... hehe..." Undescribable images began to appear in her mind, and a mischievous smile unconsciously curled at the corners of her mouth.
Yu Qing naturally didn't know his little wife was having such naughty thoughts. He walked into the living room with a composed manner and began chatting with the Shui Family Sisters. His tone was gentle and his conversation witty, quickly making the originally tense and awkward atmosphere much more relaxed and harmonious.
Purple Pearl also immediately utilized her talents as a "mood-maker" and "social butterfly." She skipped over to the more approachable-looking Shui Wuyue, chattering about various interesting things. Soon, she was chatting animatedly with Shui Wuyue, their laughter ringing out like silver bells.
However, small talk eventually comes to an end. Seeing that the time was right, Yu Qing coughed lightly and steered the conversation toward the main point.
"Miss Wuxiang, Miss Wuyue," his expression became more serious as he looked at the two sisters calmly, "Xiner and Ruyi told me everything about your thoughts last night."
Hearing this, the Shui Family Sisters' expressions also immediately became solemn, and they nodded in unison.
Yu Qing continued, "I've been thinking about it all night. Regarding your willingness to become my wives in exchange for Spirit evolution and rapid spirit power enhancement, I can give you an answer now."
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became somewhat stagnant. Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue both unconsciously held their breath, their hearts pounding as they stared intently at Yu Qing, waiting for his final decision.
Yu Qing looked at their nervous expressions, smiled slightly, and clearly uttered three words:
"I... agree."
"Phew—" The two sisters let out a long, heavy sigh of relief almost simultaneously, their tense shoulders instantly relaxing.
But... what followed was not entirely joy, but a very complex, mixed bag of emotions.
At the thought of being bound for life to this strange man before them, sharing his love and care with other women, and even... the two sisters marrying him together... an indescribable sourness and awkwardness couldn't help but well up in their hearts.
Purple Pearl, who was good at reading expressions, immediately noticed the change in the sisters' emotions. She walked forward with a grin and intimately took Shui Wuyue's arm, pressing her enviable bosom against it. Shui Wuyue subconsciously looked down at herself, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, as Purple Pearl comforted her in a cheerful voice:
"There, there~ Little Sister Wuyue, Sister Wuxiang, don't worry. Husband is super good to every one of us, absolutely fair, and spreads his favor evenly. Besides, the other sisters all have great personalities and definitely won't make things difficult for new sisters. Otherwise... Sister Xin and Sister Ruyi wouldn't have gone out of their way to find you and bring you back!"
Her words were like a warm current, slightly dispelling the unease in the sisters' hearts. They thought back to the Duan Xin, Zi Ruyi, and the Purple Pearl before them that they had met. Indeed... they all seemed quite easy to get along with, not at all like the scheming and infighting they had imagined.
Purple Pearl winked playfully again, puffed out her chest, and added, "And also! Even though I'm ranked fifth now, I'm actually the youngest. I'm only nineteen this year, and my spirit power... is already at Rank 65!"
"Nineteen years old... Rank 65?!" Shui Wuyue cried out in shock! Her first reaction was: why is she younger than me but so much bigger there? Her second reaction was: this cultivation speed is terrifying!
A look of shock also appeared on Shui Wuxiang's cold face. She cared more about the latter. A nineteen-year-old Spirit Emperor was simply unheard of. Was the "Dual Cultivation method" that Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi mentioned... truly so Heaven-Defying in its effects? Her desire for increased strength instantly outweighed those awkward feelings.
Seeing the expressions of The Two Women, a glimmer of cunning flashed in Purple Pearl's eyes as she struck while the iron was hot. "How about it? Do you want to... 'try out' that Dual Cultivation method with husband first? Experience the effects for yourselves? Then decide whether you want to stay?"
"Try... try it out?!" Shui Wuyue's pretty face instantly turned so red it looked like it would bleed! Her voice even changed pitch! "Is... is it going to be... that... so soon?"
Shui Wuxiang's breath also hitched, a hint of panic flashing in her ice-blue eyes. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Could... could you allow us... a few days to prepare?" After all, she still couldn't accept giving herself so quickly to a man who was practically a stranger, even for the sake of power. She needed some time for mental preparation.
Seeing their embarrassed looks, Purple Pearl burst out laughing with a "puchi." She waved her hand with a mysterious smile on her face. "Oh my~ you're overthinking it! The 'try out' I mentioned... isn't that kind of 'deep exchange' you're thinking of~ But... once you truly experience the beauty of Dual Cultivation, I guarantee... you'll be sticking to husband every day, begging him for 'deep exchange'~ Hehe!" Leaving behind this suggestive remark, Purple Pearl ran off with a giggle, leaving the space to Yu Qing and the two sisters.
The two sisters were left blushing furiously by Purple Pearl's words, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Seeing that they seemed to need time to digest everything, Yu Qing said considerately, "You can think it over carefully. There's no rush. If you decide to try... you can come find me anytime." After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait!" At that moment, Shui Wuxiang suddenly raised her head, a flash of determination in her eyes. She took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision, her voice carrying a hint of trembling yet exceptionally firm: "No need to consider further. We... are willing to try. Let's try it now. I want to personally experience your Dual Cultivation method and see if it's truly as miraculous as they say!" As the older sister, she had to seize this opportunity that could change their fates for her sister and herself, even if... it meant paying a price.
Yu Qing looked at Shui Wuxiang's resolute gaze, then at her sister Shui Wuyue, who, though shy, nodded heavily beside her, and he understood.
Hum—
Two golden contract documents, emitting a sacred, ancient, and profound aura, manifested out of thin air before the sisters. The contracts were covered in complex and indescribable runes, flowing with the power of Law.
"Drip a drop of your essence blood into the contract," Yu Qing instructed calmly.
Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue exchanged a look, both seeing nervousness and determination in each other's eyes. Gritting their teeth, they both extended their slender fingers and bit down hard.
"Hiss..." A faint groan of pain sounded. Two drops of bright red blood seeped from their fingertips.
Without hesitation, the sisters pressed their bleeding fingers onto the golden contracts floating before them.
"Hum—!!!" The moment the blood touched the contracts, the two documents suddenly erupted with a dazzling light—one pure white and sacred, the other dark and profound. The two beams of light soared into the sky, interweaving and circling for a moment before... the white light plunged into Yu Qing's body like a swallow returning to its nest, while the black light merged into the foreheads of Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue respectively.

The System's notification rang in Yu Qing's mind. He quickly scanned the basic information of the sisters and was quite satisfied. Their talent and Foundation were both excellent, truly worthy of being direct descendants of the Shui Family.
"The contract is complete." Yu Qing smiled at the two sisters. "Now... we can begin our first Dual Cultivation."
"N-now? Here?" Hearing this, Shui Wuyue's face, which had just recovered slightly, instantly turned beet red. She instinctively stood up, wanting to walk out of the room. This... this was too direct!
"Eh?" Yu Qing was quick and grabbed her slender wrist, laughing. "Where are you going? Doing it together yields better results."
"T-the three of us together?" This time, even the usually cold and self-possessed Shui Wuxiang couldn't help but cry out in alarm. Her ice-blue eyes were filled with unbelievable embarrassment and shock. This... this was completely beyond her range of acceptance!
Yu Qing looked at the sisters' expressions, which seemed as if they had been struck by lightning and had let their imaginations run wild. He couldn't help but smile faintly, blinking mischievously with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "You didn't think that only that kind of 'deep and shallow' exchange counts as Dual Cultivation, did you?"
Shui Wuxiang: "..."
Shui Wuyue: "..."
The sisters were instantly petrified, the blush on their faces spreading all the way to their ears and necks! They were so embarrassed they felt like they were about to smoke. So... so they had thought wrong. It was a huge misunderstanding. How humiliating!
"Haha~" Yu Qing looked at their adorable appearance, as if they wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and felt in high Spirits. He stopped teasing them and said seriously: "Alright, no more jokes. Dual Cultivation doesn't just have one form. What we are about to do... is a gentler, safer, and more efficient cultivation method of energy and mental resonance."
"Now, please... remove your outer clothing, leaving only your undergarments."
Although still extremely shy, knowing that that kind of thing wasn't going to happen, the sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, bit their lips, and eventually turned their backs. With slightly trembling fingers, they began to undo their dresses one by one... A moment later.
Two stunning beauties, wearing only thin undergarments, stood shyly before Yu Qing. Shui Wuxiang was tall with skin like snow and graceful curves; Shui Wuyue was petite and delicate with fine skin, looking pitiable and lovely. The large areas of snow-white skin exposed to the air were tinged with a faint pink from embarrassment, exuding an incredible allure.
Yu Qing calmly appreciated the beautiful scenery before him, inwardly praising: "As expected of the Shui Family girls, this skin... is truly as smooth as water."
"Alright, let's begin." Yu Qing composed himself and was the first to sit cross-legged on the padded floor, signaling the sisters to center around him. Their palms met, forming a cycle.
Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue endured their shyness and followed his instructions. When their cool palms touched Yu Qing's warm ones, their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, and relax your body and mind." Yu Qing's deep and magnetic voice sounded, carrying a reassuring power. He slowly closed his eyes, and the pure, majestic spirit power and vast mental force within him began to circulate, quickly resonating with the spirit power and mental force of The Two Women.
Hum—
A gentle yet powerful flow of energy slowly poured into the sisters' bodies through their touching palms! It guided their own spirit power... to begin merging and circulating.
An unprecedentedly wonderful sensation instantly swept through Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue's entire bodies, as if their Souls were trembling. Warmth, comfort, pleasure... it was hard to describe in words. They unconsciously immersed themselves in it, forgetting their shyness and the passage of time.
[Ding! Completed one Yin Yang Conjunction. spirit power and mental force have merged, Soul elevated. +500 yin yang points, medium amount of spirit power, medium amount of Yin-Yang Power!]
[Ding! Completed one Yin Yang Conjunction. spirit power and mental force have merged, Soul elevated. +400 yin yang points, medium amount of spirit power, medium amount of Yin-Yang Power!]
...After two deep cultivation sessions were completed, Yu Qing withdrew his spirit power and mental force. For the sisters, who were trying this for the first time and whose spirit power and mental force were only at the Spirit King level, this was their current limit.
Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue were still immersed in the afterglow of that spiritual elevation and extreme pleasure, unable to return to their senses for a long time. Their faces were flushed, their eyes hazy, and their red lips slightly parted as they let out faint pants. That appearance was even more moving than if they had experienced some kind of ultimate joy.
After a long while, The Two Women gradually emerged from that mysterious state. They instinctively checked their own spirit power... "!!" The next second, both of them widened their beautiful eyes, their faces filled with unbelievable shock and wild joy.
Shui Wuyue clearly felt that her Bottleneck at Rank 49, which she had been stuck at for a long time... had actually been broken through directly. Her spirit power... had reached Rank 50. She only needed to obtain a suitable spirit ring... and she could immediately advance to a Spirit King.
Shui Wuxiang's feeling was even more direct. Her spirit power... had actually soared from Rank 52... all the way to Rank 57, a full five Ranks. This... this was simply a miracle.
"This... this..." The sisters were so excited they could hardly speak. Their gaze toward Yu Qing... was instantly filled with incomparable heat and... an indescribable sense of worship.
Yu Qing looked at their shocked expressions an
