Mar-Dule continence became serious as he looked at this girl and said.

“Hua-Yin, I have no interest in taking you as a partner.”

Mar-Dule was blunt and firm in his words.

This caused Hua-Yin to pout.

“How can you reject me so harshly?”

“That’s because I have a friend that once told me that if something is difficult to say then one should just say it as straightforward as they can to not cause confusion.”

Hau-Yin was still pouting as she countered.

“There is a difference between saying things straightforwardly and being harsh. You completely misunderstand those words and you’re being harsh.”

Mar-Dule felt his headache increased by a notch. He can neither beat this girl in an argument nor can he muster up the courage to act aggressively towards her.

He didn’t know what to do, so he gritted his teeth and revealed his honest thoughts.

“Look, I know how your Emei Sect operates. You lot go around seducing the geniuses of the three races to gain power. Even the powerful Sect Leaders and Clan Leaders of the Holy Sects and Great Clans aren’t out of range for you lot to target.”

When Hua-Yin heard this, she frowned.

“What are you trying to say?”

There was slight anger in her voice, but Mar-Dule said firmly.

“I have no interest in a girl that goes around seducing other men in the Academy. Who knows what you and those other girls in the Dual Pavilion are up to when you bring back boys in your pavilions.”

Hua-Yin was so angered by Mar-Dule’s words that her hand shot out like lightning and pinched his side.

“Are you calling my Dual Pavilion a whore house, and me a whore?”

Mar-Dule didn’t try to dodge Hua-Yin’s pinch and he didn’t seem to feel threatened by her as he said.

“What else are you lot if you set up such a place in the Academy and lure men into those Pavilions? I honestly don’t understand why the Elders and Academy Leader allow such a place to exist in the Academy. To think the Emei Sect would groom girls to be in such businesses at such a young age.”

Hua-Yin’s face turned red from rage, and she twisted her grip on Mar-Dule’s flesh.

Mar-Dule almost wanted to laugh when he saw this girl trying to harm him. After he absorbed ancestor Mar-Tu’s bloodline and gained the Giant Race bloodline, his physical body became terrifyingly strong.

And even if he didn’t have the bloodline, he was still a Sky Expanse Spiritual Realm cultivator! Can this girl really hurt him when even peak Sky Expanse Spiritual Realm cultivators would have a hard time doing so?

A sneering appeared at the corner of Mar-Dule’s lips as he thought this, however, Hua-Yin’s eyes glinted coldly and her fingers tighten like clamp before she twisted once,. This time, Mar-Dule’s body jolted.

A sharp pain came from his side that shot through his entire body.

Mar-Dule was stunned but tried his best to feign a calm expression. However, Hua-Yin twisted even more, and it caused his façade to instantly crumble.

Mar-Dule’s face contorted into a painful expression while his breathing became ragged.

“Okay, okay! I take back what I said, please let go before you tear off a piece of my skin!”

Hua-Yin was still angry, so she twisted further. Mar-Dule’s hands and feet grew cold while an even more agonizing expression overcame his face.

It really felt like Hua-Yin was going to tear off his skin. But a second later, she released her grip making Mar-Dule heave a sigh of relief.

Looking at Hua-Yin while rubbing his side, Mar-Dule took a step back to put some distance between him and her.

‘Just how strong is this girl? She broke through my defense like it was nothing.’

Suspicion started to rise in Mar-Dule’s heart about this girl’s identity.

Hua-Yin didn’t seem to notice Mar-Dule’s confusion as she snorted and said.

“I want you to immediately forget the impression you have of our Dual Pavilion. Do you really believe we are like some convenient roadside brothel that you can find in the Mortal World?”

“But doesn’t your Emei Sect operate brothels? Why wouldn’t the Dual Pavilion be the same.”

After Mar-Dule said this, he flinched back when he saw Hua-Yin’s expression turned dark.

“I want you to listen to me carefully.”

Hua-Yin approached Mar-Dule as she continued in a serious tone.

“Our Emei Sect takes our chastity very seriously. When we take a partner, he will be our partner for life.”

Mar-Dule was confused when he heard that.

“Then all those people you brought back in the Dual Pavilion venue on the Central Mountain, do you not Dual Cultivate with them?”

Hua-Yin stopped in front of Mar-Dule.

She was so close he could smell the sweet fragrance wafting from her body.

Hua-Yin sighed and looked Mar-Dule in the eyes as she said.

“You and every man in Jianghu are completely ignorant of our Emei Sect’s principles, so I can’t blame you for thinking we are some roadside brothel.”

Hua-Yin grabbed Mar-Dule’s hand and positioned his palm facing down on top of hers.

“There isn’t just one method of Dual Cultivation between a man and a woman.”

When Mar-Dule heard that, his eyes flashed, and he remembered something.

“That’s right, your Emei Sect was said to have created a Dual Cultivation Art that allows a man and woman to Dual Cultivate simply by touching.”

Hua-Yin felt angered, and she glared at Mar-Dule.

“If you knew about this then why did you say all of that before?”

Mar-Dule scratched his cheek and smiled apologetically. He had completely forgotten about this detail.

After Hua-Yin glared at Mar-Dule, she circulated the energy in her body through her meridians and gathered it in the center of her palm.

“Do the same.”

Hua-Yin said, and Mar-Dule hesitated for a bit before doing the same.

When his Metal Aether Energy circulated to the center of his palm, it mixed with Hua-Yin’s energy.

Mar-Dule’s eyes flickered insistently.

He realized that Hua-Yin’s energy wasn’t of the six elements, it didn’t even seem to be Aether Energy either.

Mar-Dule felt this strange energy from Hua-Yin synergize with his own before two portions separated and one traveled into his body.

Mar-Dule closed his eyes as he observe this sliver of Metal Aether Energy returning to his Energy Core.

It was less than what he had gathered in his palm, but after mixing with Hua-Yin’s strange energy, this sliver of Metal Aether Energy was several times purer than what he could cultivate normally.

This one sliver of Metal Aether Energy might be worth a dozen of the ones he was cultivating now. Meaning if he were to continue absorbing Metal Aether Energy of this kind, his cultivation speed would be a dozen times faster.

Mar-Dule’s eyes flew open when he realized this, and he looked at Hua-Yin in shock.

Before he could ask her what kind of energy she was cultivating, Hua-Yin explained.

“It’s Yin Energy. In this world, there are many types of energy to cultivate, however, each of them contains both Yin and Yang Essence. You could say this Yin Energy our Emei Sect cultivates is one of the Founding Energies of the world.”

“So, everyone in the Emei sect cultivates this type of Yin Energy? And does this mean you can Dual Cultivate with anyone no matter the type of Aether Energy they cultivate?”

Hua-Yin nodded, but she suddenly drew closer to Mar-Dule and wrapped her hands around his neck before whispering in his ear.

“However, I have never Dual Cultivate with anyone, nor have I considered doing so with anyone before. I only want to Dual Cultivate with you.”
