Lin Yuan stared blankly at the group of powerful cultivators still kneeling in his cramped apartment hallway like they were worshipping a god.
"Uh… you guys can stand up now. Really, it's just tea from the supermarket. If you want more, I can make another pot tomorrow…"
Zhao Tianhao, whose face had been pressed against the dusty floor, lifted his head with tears of gratitude and excitement in his eyes. The once-arrogant young master now looked like a devout believer.
"Senior Lin! No, Ancestor Lin! This tea isn't ordinary! One sip pushed this junior to peak Core Formation! My foundation is ten times purer! The Zhao Clan swears eternal loyalty! Please accept our sincere gift!"
He waved his hand desperately.
One of the female cultivators behind him stepped forward shyly, holding a jade box.
She was a curvaceous Foundation Establishment beauty with long legs and a tight cultivation dress that accentuated her full and luscious breasts.
"Senior Lin… this is a top-grade dual cultivation mat from our clan's secret treasury. It can amplify yang-yin harmony by a hundred times. If Senior ever… needs a partner for cultivation… this junior is willing to serve with all her heart…"
Her cheeks flushed red, and her eyes were filled with blatant desire. Just standing close to Lin Yuan made her lower body feel hot and moist, as if his mere presence was stirring her dao foundation.
The other female disciple bit her lip as her supple thighs pressed together.
"This junior too… my name is Zhao Ling'er. I'm still a virgin. My aptitude is excellent. One night with Senior could let me reach Core Formation instantly…"
Lin Feng's face turned beet red. He was just a normie who had watched a few adult videos in secret. Dual cultivation? Serving with all her heart? What the hell were these rich people talking about?!
"W-, Wait, everyone! There's a huge mix-up! I'm not some senior or ancestor. I'm just Lin Yuan, part-time bubble tea guy! Mom, help me explain—"
Aunt Zhang, who had been watching from the doorway with sparkling eyes, simply smiled mysteriously.
"Xiao Yuan, these guests seem sincere. Why don't you let them in for some more tea?"
Before Lin Yuan could protest, his phone buzzed.
It was a WeChat message from his childhood friend.
[Su Wan'er: Yuan Yuan! I heard something crazy happened at the hospital and now at your place! Are you okay? I'm coming over right now!! Don't move!!]
Su Wan'er — the campus goddess of Blue River University, long black hair, innocent yet seductive oval face, slim waist with an hourglass figure, graceful breasts that strained against her school uniform and a perky butt that swayed when she walked. She had grown up next door to Lin Yuan and had always treated him like her silly big brother, even though she was secretly a hidden Qi Refining 9th layer cultivator from a small side branch of the Su family.
She had rushed over after her family's scouts reported the spiritual qi anomalies.
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Lin Feng opened the door, and Su Wan'er burst in like a fragrant wind, wearing a simple white blouse and short pleated skirt that showed off her long, smooth legs.
"Yuan Yuan! Are you hurt? Those Zhao Clan people didn't bully you, right?!"
She grabbed his arm worriedly as her soft, ample chest kissed him unintentionally.
The Zhao Clan group inside the living room froze.
Zhao Tianhao whispered excitedly to an elder.
"Look at that girl's reaction… she's close to Ancestor Lin! If she dual cultivates with him first, the benefits…"
Su Wan'er quickly noticed the kneeling crowd and blinked in confusion.
"Eh? Why are so many weird people here? And why are they kneeling?"
Lin Yuan sighed helplessly.
"Haha, it's a funny story. They drank my tea and suddenly started calling me ancestor. Wan'er, you want some too? I just brewed a fresh pot."
He poured her a cup of the still-warm Nine Heavens God Tea without thinking.
The golden liquid shimmered beautifully.
Su Wan'er took the cup and her delicate nose twitched at the heavenly fragrance.
"It smells amazing… Thanks, Yuan Yuan. You always take care of me."
She took a gentle sip.
BOOM—!!!
The moment the tea entered her body, Su Wan'er's slim and beautiful eyes widened. Her Qi Refining 9th layer aura exploded outward like a volcano!
" Ahhn~! Yuan Yuan… it's so hot… so full… I… I'm breaking through!!"
A soft, involuntary moan escaped her pink lips.
Her legs trembled, and she almost collapsed.
Lin Yuan quickly caught her by the waist.
But his gentlemanly hand accidentally brushed against the soft curve of her hip.
The sensation sent a jolt through both of them.
Su Wan'er's face flushed crimson. Her cultivation base surged past the bottleneck she had been stuck at for two years and went straight into Foundation Establishment early stage… mid stage… late stage!
Her body felt like it was on fire in the most pleasurable way she could think of. Down below, a warm, a slippery wetness soaked her panties. The Sacred Immortal Body aura radiating from this innocent Lin Yuan made her yin essence resonate wildly with his yang.
She looked up at him with misty, half-lidded eyes then bit her lower lip.
"Yuan Yuan… your tea… it's making me feel so strange… so good… my whole body is tingling…"
The Zhao Clan members watched with burning envy and excitement.
Zhao Tianhao kowtowed again.
"As expected of Ancestor Lin! Even a casual sip causes such a heavenly breakthrough! Miss Su is truly blessed to be close to you. If you need a dual cultivation partner to stabilize her realm… our Zhao Clan can provide the best chambers and arrays!"
Su Wan'er's blush deepened, but she didn't pull away from Lin Yuan's arms. Instead, she leaned in closer and her soft breasts squeezed tightly against his chest.
"Yuan Yuan… I… I think I need your help to consolidate my cultivation. Can we… talk alone in your room?"
Her voice was soft and pleading in a way that made Lin Yuan's heart race.
He was still clueless about the full extent of what was happening, but even a dense normie like him could feel the electric attraction and the way Su Wan'er's body was trembling against his.
Outside the building, more luxury cars were arriving.
Scouts from the Murong Clan, Nangong Clan, and even a mysterious Ji Clan elder were rushing over after sensing the new breakthrough phenomenon.
The fiery swordswoman "Murong Xue" with a beautiful face like a baby's had been watching from afar since and all she could do was heave a sigh.
"That Su Clan vixen!"
Her magnificent breasts bounced in response.
"That girl is getting ahead… No! I must meet this Lin Yuan too. If his tea can do this… what could his… yang essence do during dual cultivation?"
Meanwhile.
Lin Yuan was still holding the blushing Su Wan'er who had an erotically pink face… perhaps from the "exciting" means of breakthrough she had just experienced.
"Wan'er… your body feels really warm. Do you want me to make another cup of tea… or maybe cook something really nice for you?"
That was the best he could do for her.
After all, Su Wan'er was his childhood friend.
'She's not my girlfriend…'
He sighed a bit.
To have such a soft and sweet beauty as his own would truly make him the happiest man alive.
'But I'm not talented enough to be with her.'
He shook his head and sighed.
Su Wan'er's eyes sparkled with some innocence and growing lust as she whispered back.
"Yuan Yuan… I think I need more than tea right now…"
"Eh?"
