Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 505 The Song of New Beginning

The process of taming an Earth Flame was a difficult and complicated one, involving a heavy dose of risk, especially in case when the level of the flame was higher than the alchemist's.

But with Wu Long's instructions and direct help, it did not pose any hardship or risk at all, as Yu Huan smoothly took control of the Earth Flame and then absorbed it.

Her cultivation rose from the 3rd level of Foundation Building Realm that she has painstakingly climbed to with the techniques and knowledge he gave her, to the 1st level of Core Formation Realm just from absorbing the flame.

And as he anticipated it, he naturally gave her instructions on advancing through both realms beforehand.

This whole process took 2 days, and they also spent one more day with Luo Mingyu, discussing the refinement of the Pills and Demonic Beast blood.

When he left the courtyard of the alchemist in the company of the purple-eyed beauty, the latter's smile caught his eye, as she seemed to be anticipating something.

He chuckled, but decided to not show that he noticed her expression, walking alongside her, exchanging peaceful conversation and inwardly pondering what could make her so excited, until his spiritual sense caught a figure seemingly waiting not far from the main hall of the mansion.

'Hah, that is something I didn't think of...

Mingyu sure knows how to give a pleasant surprise'

He thought as they continued on their walk and soon a beautiful young lady with green eyes and lustrous brown hair entered their view.

"Fairy Gong Cui, it is a pleasant surprise to meet you"

Luo Mingyu smiled, Wu Long nodding to the lady with a smile as well.

"Ehehehe, yes, thank you, Lady Luo, I have come as soon as... I mean co-in-ci-dentally at this time you both have arrived"

Gong Cui lightly laughed with a rather blatant expression of a conspirator, changing her sentence midway, the word "coincidentally" coming out with widened eyes as she looked at Luo Mingyu.

Madam Liang and Lian Zhiqiu who came out of the main hall by true coincidence stopped not far from them, and then struggled to hold in their laughter seeing the scene as Luo Mingyu's cheeks became slightly rosy.

Wu Long's eyes also revealed a slight glint, though he did not give any other signs.

There was then a brief pause as Gong Cui seemingly relaxed, the purple-eyed beauty then made a face saying 'and?', nudging her on to speak, as an "oh!" expression appeared on the former's face.

"Oh! Ahm... yes... eh... I- it's a coincidence since I had something to discuss with Daoist Wu..."

It was getting harder to hold a straight expression for the two ladies in the distance as it seemed that the well-rehearsed dialogue of the two conspirators was rapidly unraveling.

The audible "Oh!" coming out after the visual one in the expression nearly caused them to burst out laughing.

A slightly troubled expression briefly appeared on Luo Mingyu's face, but as she saw Wu Mengqi in the far off distance, a true panic appeared deep in her eyes and she seemingly decided to brute force through as fast as possible as she then fixed her smile.

"Ah, I see, then I will leave you to it.

Oh dear! I have completely forgotten a promise I made with Ziyan! I will see you later Wu Long"

She spoke and behaved so naturally that Gong Cui's eyes widened.

"Of course! Lady Luo, please don't mind me and go. Thank..."

"Ahahaha, Fairy Gong Cui, I shall indeed leave you two for now. Well then"

Luo Mingyu cut into her words before she blurted out anything else, and giving Wu Long a quick kiss, hurriedly left.

"Ehehe"

Gong Cui slightly wryly laughed as she turned back from seeing off the beauty and saw Wu Long.

"...you wanted to talk about something?"

He inwardly chuckled and decided to remind her as the two who watched the scene seemingly were entertained enough, going into the direction of Wu Mengqi to slightly help out the Music Dao practitioner.

"Oh! Yes! Umm..."

"Why don't we change places first? This one is not very suitable for a conversation"

"Yes, thank you. I actually have a place in mind. Please follow me"

As he proposed with a smile she nodded, both then walking away.

Luo Mingyu stopped near Hua Ziyan, as the latter widened her eyes seeing her expression.

"Wh-what is it?"

"S-... So embarrassing!"

As Hua Ziyan asked with a slightly surprised expression, the completely red Luo Mingyu squatted right where she stood, covering her head with both hands.

She never expected to fool Wu Long or anything of the sort. But if the conversation flowed naturally she at least wouldn't have seen that playful glint in his eyes.

Not to mention Madam Liang and Lian Zhiqiu whose expressions were now engraved into her memory.

Hua Ziyan did not know what troubled her friend but she bent down and very carefully patted her shoulder in show of support.

Wu Long and Gong Cui arrived at a familiar courtyard with a pond and a gazebo in the middle of it.

He lightly smiled as it seemed that she wanted to tackle her fears head on.

"Daoist Wu, would you... listen to a song?"

She asked with a bit of nervousness, and he nodded with a smile.

They sat on the opposite ends of the gazebo, as she took out a beautiful zither.

Her elegant hands stopped over the instrument as she took a moment to close her eyes and take a deep breath, a tranquil expressionon her face as a profound atmosphere surrounded her, making her appearance seem ethereal and mystical.

Her eyes opened up, revealing peaceful and mindful look as her delicate fingers then touched the strings, and an exquisite melody flowed into the courtyard.

The petals of flowers growing on the trees around the pond gently fell toward the pond, and the fresh and soft spring wind seemingly was caught in the melody making some of the petals create a beautiful dance in the air.

Wu Long closed his eyes, feeling the emotions conveyed by the notes, as if the strings of the zither were the strings of the very soul.

The moment lasted both for long and for a brief time, and as the gentle final notes of the song still hummed in the air, Wu Long's eyes opened again to see a blush on the cheeks of the beauty, with a hesitant and nervous, but at the same time filled with hope look.

A smile touched his lips.

"Fairy Gong Cui's feelings have reached me, and I would be delighted to answer them. In fact I should hav-..."

He spoke with a soft voice, but halfway through his speech, a soft and lithe body of the beauty leaped into his. He instantly reacted, opening his arms and softening the impact for her, wrapping his arms around her as a blissful smile appeared on her face.

'The Song of Spring.. huh'

He inwardly mused, smiling as he held the beauty in his embrace, recalling the name of the piece she played, and feeling the pure emotions of the beauty in it.
