Nana and Yuki were drenched in sweat. Not because it was hot in the room but because their bodies were heating up due to the feeling that kept washing over their body with each circulation. To make matters worse, with their faces so close, they could feel each other’s breath and body heat as well. Their faces were flushed and breathing heavy. But they were still trying to push through and properly cultivate. 

While the temptation to push her partner over was great, Yuki could see her cultivation rising quickly. In just a few hours, she had already reached the eighth stage of the third fate star and evil star of her demonic cultivation. She found it quite amazing since her demonic cultivation was lagging behind but now was fully caught up and even with her normal cultivation. 

As the hours continued to pass, the spiritual qi and demonic ai in the room began to build up more and more. Yuki and Nana had now broken through to the ninth stage of fate star and were on the verge of breaking through to the fourth stage. 

Spiritual qi and demonic qi began to spiral around the two girls and entered into Yuki first, who would then purify the spiritual qi and demonic qi and send it over to Nana, who would then send some of that back to Yuki in an even purer form.

Their hair fluttered under the wind created from the circulation of the two qi’s around them until, finally, a banging sound was heard within them. Their bodies began to excrete a black substance as their impurities began to be pushed out from breaking through. They were now both forth fate star cultivators. 

They slowly opened their eyes as they both began to slow their circulation of spiritual qi. They could smell the stench coming from their bodies, but they both had big smiles on their faces. “It seems this cultivation method is no joke….”

“Mmm… Let’s take a bath and rest up…. We also need to change the bedding as well.” Yuki looked down at herself and then at the bed and nodded to Nana’s suggestion.

They helped each other wash off the black goop before soaking in the bathtub once more.  Luckily they had a two stage system for bathing. They could rinse their bodies off first before getting into the bath.

As the two lounged in the hot water, Yuki leaned her head back and looked up at Nana. Her eyes locked on to Nana’s lips. “Kiss….”

Nana chuckled and kissed Yuki’s lips. She kissed them softly before pulling away but found her head being pulled back down as Yuki stole her lips again. Yuki spun her body around and tossed her arms around Nana’s neck, and went in for a deep kiss. Her mind was still thinking about the feeling that had welled up inside her during their cultivation. It made her body hot and tingly. 

After kissing for a few minutes, she finally got her fill and leaned against Nana’s chest. “Nana, we will grow stronger no matter what. Even if I must slaughter my way through millions of people to do so I will do it. As long as we can get revenge for our clans and family.”

“Mmm… I will follow you through rivers of blood. No matter what it takes.” Nana also felt the same. They needed strength. While they would not go so far as to use the evil methods of demonic cultivation, that did not mean they would not kill those who stand in their way, even if it is for a single item that can grant one of them more strength.

“Hehe…” Yuki giggled as she leaned up and looked down at Nana’s snow white body before kissing her once more and standing up. “Let’s rest for a bit, then we will do the medical baths for our body cultivation method. Although I do fear it will be painful.”

“Pain is only a step towards more power.” Nana replied as she tried her best not to stare too much, but with Yuki standing in front of her as she was, it was kind of hard not to.

Later that day, Yuki and Nana got two large wooden tubes and placed them in the cultivation chamber in their immortal cave. They wanted to use the spiritual qi that had been gathered there to help them push the limits of the medical baths. This was something that Elder Nishikawa had mentioned to them before they left her immortal cave. 

They filled the baths with hot water before putting in a portion of the herbs in each tube. They had enough for about ten baths each. Yuki chuckled as she thought of something as she stripped down.  “You know we will end up shriveled old ladies with all the soaking we have been doing.”

“At least we know we are clean,” Nana replied as she too, stripped her clothes off.

Yuki took a deep breath before stepping into the tub. She only got one foot in when the heat of the bath made her feel like she was on fire. Her once snow white leg was now as red as a lobster. She looked like she had been sun burned instantly. But she had expected this much, and so even though it was painful, she still stepped in fully and submerged herself in the now red water.

Nana was no different her long snow white leg had turned instantly red as well. She bit her lips and quickly got into the water, knowing it was going to be painful. Both girls ground their teeth, trying their best not to cry out in pain.
