Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 674  Bargain

Fen Baihu turned to the horizon with a more serious look, asking "Normally, it would require a stable link to the outside for that to happen, would it not?"

Spiritual Qi produced by Spiritual Lands was often described as the Breath of the World, resonating with the currents of Spiritual Qi coming from outside which created a constant exchange of flows in and out of the world.

Isolated from the links to the rest of the Seven Boundless Worlds, the quality and quantity of Spiritual Qi was greatly reduced, but as soon as it was linked up again, an individual World was again able to produce potent Spiritual Qi to exchange with the neighboring worlds.

"Mm, you're right, but I have no idea why it is happening while the links are still unstable", Wu Long shrugged his shoulders, not sure what to reply to her question, as her pink glowing eyes turned to him with surprise.

"No idea? I happen to think it has to do something with you", Fen Baihu noted with a smile and a glint of both curiosity and amusement in her eyes.

"Me?", he raised his eyebrow, and then a realization dawned on him that it indeed happened while he was in the state of Sudden Enlightenment, asking "Did you notice anything out of norm then?"

After all, Fen Baihu was extremely sensitive to various ethereal and incorporeal phenomena and factors, being an existence on the edge of reality and phantasms. Her insight was an extremely valuable one, as she witnessed what happened from up close.

"Mm, I did, but I wonder what will I receive if I answer you? After all, this is not exactly within the scope of our agreement...", a cunning smile appeared on her face as she looked at him, her eight fluffy tails swaying behind her, and a wry smile touched his lips as well.

"Hahaha, what is it that you want? I'll first listen to what it is and then decide if I want to make a deal"

"Hmm, I can't decide anything for now, but I do feel like it is a waste to give away information with nothing in return", she put her hand to her cheek and tilted her head in thought, mulling over what to ask.

Wu Long shook his head with a slightly defeated smile, though certainly amused as this little fox was not as naive as he believed, knowing when to use her leverage.

After all, this information was something not crucial enough to meet the criteria to fall into their cooperation, and was not urgent enough that withholding it would give any negative effect, thus not antagonizing Wu Long by making this attempt at bargaining.

"How about this then, you'll have one wish in reserve for when you want to invoke it...", Wu Long started, and the Celestial Fox's eyes lit up with excitement, her fox ears pricked up and her cheeks revealing a blush as a wide smile appeared on her face, but he was not finished, adding "...but that wish should be proportionate to this information. We will decide if it does or not exceed the value threshold together by discussion, and I also reserve the right to refuse a specific wish arbitrarily"

"How about this then, you'll have one wish in reserve for when you want to invoke it...", Wu Long started, and the Celestial Fox's eyes lit up with excitement, her fox ears pricked up and her cheeks revealing a blush as a wide smile appeared on her face, but he was not finished, adding "...but that wish should be proportionate to this information. We will decide if it does or not exceed the value threshold together by discussion, and I also reserve the right to refuse a specific wish arbitrarily"

"Wha~t~~, that means I may never get that wish! Besides, that wording makes it sound that the value of the wish can be nitpicked at with no end!!!", she replied with the blush of excitement before still present, but her face making a sulking expression.

'Haha, how cute', he inwardly chuckled, looking at her and nodded with a smile.

"These are just precautions, so I don't get scammed by a cunning little fox", he retorted as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Hah! Who is the one scamming who here?! As far as you know you're the most cunning one here!", she folded her arms, which pushed her impressive chest to more clearly show its curves through her clothes, and turned away with slightly puffed cheeks.

"Come on, this deal is legit. What it means is that I do promise you a wish, and can give you my word that you will get it as long as it is not unreasonable. I would think my word still means something, does it not?", he then made a more amicable appeal, as his shoulders slightly shook from a silent laughter.

"...", she continued to look away in the same pose, but her ears which again pricked up, and the tails which started swaying from side to side again gave away that she was enticed by his words.

She then finally peeked back, and then fully turned, clearing her throat "Khm, hmm, the world of the God of Pleasure... indeed do have value. Okay, deal. But don't think that I'll forget!"

"Hahaha, of course", Wu Long chuckled, nodding to her as she started explaining the resonance she felt between him during enlightenment, Yuanfen and the World's Spiritual Qi.

"Hmm, this is indeed interesting...", he traced his chin in thought, as she clasped her hands together behind her back and walked in a slightly dancing manner, celebrating her successful negotiation.

"What of Yuanfen? Is she awake?", Wu Long then asked after silently looking at that scene for a moment, and she turned, and then froze while already opening her mouth to speak.

"Eh?... s-she is...", the Celestial Fox spoke in a slight daze, once more failing to notice the World Spirit's actions or state until consciously concentrating.

"...!! Good, take me to her", Wu Long's eyebrows twitched as he heard Fen Baihu's words, and asked, enveloped by mist in the next moment as both appeared before Yuanfen, who was a bit disoriented, sitting on the bed that Wu Long laid her on before.

"Wu Long!", but as soon as she saw Wu Long, her expression instantly brightened up, and a glint of joy appeared in her eyes as she stood up and leaped toward him, her hands wrapping around him, as she pressed against him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hahahaha, do you still claim to not know why she behaves like that?", Fen Baihu chuckled, regaining her composure as she looked at Wu Long catching the World Spirit into his arms, adding with a mischievous smile, "it sure seems she knows you ve~ry well~"

"Heh, you may laugh as much as you want, I am in as much of a surprise as you are. Though I am not going to lie it is not like it is not pleasant", he chuckled, shaking his head in genuine wonder of what secrets this beauty held, and what was their connection.

"Oh my, don't let your wives hear you", Fen Baihu raised her eyebrows a couple of times as her smile grew and turned more playful.

"Hahaha, I've always been honest about who I am, Fen Baihu. Especially with my lovely ladies", he chuckled, not at all concerned about his words being overheard, or misinterpreted, not shying away or worried, as his Dao Family already knew him too well, and were the ones to accept a relationship with him.

"Hah! You sure are the notorious God of Pleasure alright", the Celestial Fox only shook her head with a slightly exasperated expression, not finding anything to reply with, while Yuanfen innocently looked at the two as they spoke.

It did not seem that there was any notable change in her demeanor, as that spark of being they both saw when she willed the two shards to connect was once again hidden deep within.

He led the beauty to his Dao Family, who received her with a warm welcome, happy to see that she was fine. After all, her slumber lasted quite long, causing some concern.
