I could have just used the Spirit Jade from earlier alongside the meal to cultivate normally, but honestly this sudden pressure being pressed down onto me was stifling, and I knew that if I tried to go through things like normal it would be... less than ideal.
So I made the decision to sneak out of the house and head back down towards the town to see if any of my 'friends' were awake for a quick round or three; I wasn't even just going to destress, but instead I was going to Cultivate too.
I know my friends always rolled their eyes at me whenever I said that, but the hot Qi that was currently swelling inside of my loins was very ideal for my training, and the only way to actually get it was to let it out.
Sadly using my hands only got a paltry amount of that special Qi to be 'realized' or whatever, and I eventually learned that releasing that Qi inside of a woman allowed me to harvest it from her whenever she released the cold Qi that naturally formed inside of her.
I think one of the Elders or passing Cultivators that I had asked about this told me that men and futanari were more naturally aligned with Yang Qi - that hotter, more domineering Qi - whilst women were more aligned with Yin Qi, which was a colder, malleable Qi that would help temper the Yang Qi inside of me.
Whether that was true or not I had no real idea, but I did know that whenever I knotted a woman I released a large amount of Yang Qi inside of her that I could then 'grab' and pull back inside of myself, and whenever that woman orgasmed I could take that colder Yin Qi and use that too.
Either way though I was far too stressed to think straight right now so I desperately wanted to go have sex with someone, and as I dragged my cloak on and made sure I was bundled up the door leading towards Leo's room opened up, the younger man walking out with a yawn.
"Izzy..? What are you doing up this late..?"
He yawned again and rubbed at his eyes, his whisper sending shivers down my spine as I feared Mother or Father awakening because of it, so I stepped close and murmured "I need to take a walk and clear my head... can't cultivate otherwise..."
Leo smelled rather nice, meaning he had cleaned himself up recently in preparation for tomorrow, and that whiff of whatever herbs it was that he mashed together into a paste to mix with his water was just...
Shaking my head again and biting my cheek, I added "Go back to sleep, Leo. You have a big day tomorrow, after all." and patted his head, smiling down at him and watching as he nodded and turned back around, shuffling back into his room.
Letting out a sigh, I stared at his door for a moment more before quickly sneaking out of the house, heading out onto the muddy path leading down towards the town and licking my lips as I began to review the list of friends that I had.
There was the baker's daughter that liked sneaking away for some quick fun - someone who really enjoyed having her 'dough' kneaded rather roughly - and there was also the seamstress that had moved here not too long ago, seeking a quieter life yet just so happening to sleep with every single person who wanted to bed her.
But neither of them seemed right for a longer night, so I instead set my gaze on the house of the widow who had once gotten a bit too drunk at the tavern and needed to get escorted home; a woman who had dragged me into her bed, rode me harder than I thought possible and then whipped me up a magnificent breakfast the morning after as thanks.
She was well over double my age, had one son who worked in the city, made a living off of the various chores she did for anyone who paid, and was otherwise just a quiet, pretty woman that many people thought highly of.
That was honestly why I was still surprised that she always agreed to open her bed to me whenever I asked, and also why I was heading straight for her door right now; just thinking about her smooth brown hair that always smelt of wildflowers and of her plump lips that were constantly curled into a mesmerizing grin... it made me hard.
So I rushed over to her door, knocked on it a few times and waited, my ears twitching as I listened to the rustling of footsteps inside; my grin grew as I envisioned her walking to the door, and the stiffness down below only got hotter as my arousal continued to spike, completely ignoring the soaked cloak I was in.
Hearing the bolt slide free, I stepped back and watched as the door cracked open ever so slightly, revealing the tired face of the woman I had come to consider a good friend... and someone that I really loved having sex with.
Seeing that it was me in the middle of the night, Evelyn's plump lips curled into a frown before she sighed and opened the door wider, something that was at odds with the expression on her face since she was welcoming me so easily.
As soon as I stepped into her humble abode she closed the door behind me and murmured "You couldn't have waited any longer..?", her silky voice tickling my ears while my eyes trailed up and down her loosely clothed figure.
Even in a place where food wasn't as abundant, Evelyn was still quite curvy, with tits that were very much appreciated by everyone in the town and a backside that I dreamed of quite often; that robe she wore was barely tied to her, so when I stepped up to her all I needed to do was hook a finger beneath the belt and pull.
"Take your drenched clothes off first, Isabella. I just cleaned everything today."
And even as she 'complained' about me dripping water everywhere she still just stood there, her robe pooling around her long, mesmerizing legs while her simple bra and panties concealed her privates quite nicely.
Shrugging the cloak off and quickly undoing the buttons for my shirt, I grinned at Evelyn and murmured "I couldn't stand it, Evelyn... We hit a vein of Spirit Jade today, y'know? Got the blood flowin' nicely; ate some good meat tonight, had some more good news, and now... now I need you."
"You 'need' me? The old woman?"
"Yeah, the old woman that knows how to take my dick all night long."
She just rolled her eyes at that, yet she still stepped forwards and helped me undo my belt, getting me out of my pants and allowing me to walk into her house naked, my cock bouncing freely and my body radiating a heat that only she could quench.
Taking my hand and walking me into her bedroom, Evelyn murmured "Are we doing this all night long..?", to which I just pushed her onto her bed, crawled on top of her and kissed her hard, my hands squeezing her breasts through her bra while my cock rubbed against her belly.
