In the bath, Yuki leaned up against Nana’s chest while Nana did her nightly pampering. It was during these times that Yuki felt like her old self. Even though they were now dao partners, this did not change their normal routine. While slightly embarrassing, that embarrassment went away as soon as the warmth of the bath settled in. Yuki realized she was fretting over nothing as this was something she and Nana had done together for months. 

She really wondered, though. She wondered when the feelings within her turned from friend and sistership to that of love. Yuki hugged Nana’s waste and closed her eyes, her head resting on the squishy chest. She felt so safe and secure with Nana that she did not want to ever let this feeling go.

Nana, on the other hand, was red in the face. She looked down at Yuki, who was using her breasts as pillows, and couldn’t help but feel a bit fidgety. But this did not stop her from continuing her nightly ritual of combing Yuki’s hair and tail to make sure it stayed as soft and fluffy as always.

After their bath, the two got into their nightgowns and sat on the bed, finishing their nightly routine before Yuki took out the dual cultivation method. The green cylinder shaped with golden additions was covered in engravings, some of which were words. “It says to those which to bind for eternity to put the scroll sideways and press our foreheads against it at the same time.”

There were no more words, just these directi0ns. Yuki thought for a moment before asking: “How do you want to do this? Lean towards each other, or should I sit in your lap?”

Nana blushed at the idea of Yuki sitting in her lap facing one another, but she also did not wish to pass up this chance to be more intimate with the girl she loved. “Sit in my lap.”

Yuki nodded and stood up before pacing both her feet on either side of Nana and sitting down on the thighs that were extended out. Yuki’s nose was only an inch away from Nana’s as the two stared at each other. She grinned slyly as she snuck in a kiss, causing Nana to feel like she was being challenged and returned the favor. This pecking back and forth continued for a few minutes before Yuki hung her arms around Nana’s neck and went in for a deep kiss. The two’s tongues intertwined while the two lost themselves in their own little worlds. They only parted when they could no longer breathe.

Yuki bashfully smiled as she gave Nana a big hug. “We should start cultivating.”

“Mm….” Nana nodded. She was afraid if things kept going as they were, she might end up pushing Yuki down.

After calming the heat welling up within them, Yuki and Nana placed the scroll between them and pressed their foreheads against it. Almost in an instant, words began to flood into their minds. It was only the first section of the cultivation method, but at this time, that was all they needed. 

“So to start, we just need to hold hands, and while I push my qi into you through my right hand, you do the same with your right hand. Seems simple enough. Nana, if you start to feel weird because of my demonic qi, let me know.” Yuki was still worried her demonic qi might affect Nana. She did not want to harm Nana in any way.

“Mm… I will.” Nana nodded as the two slowly got into a cultivative state. 

Yuki closed her eyes and interlocked her fingers with Nana’s. They both took deep breaths before pressing their foreheads together and began circulating their spiritual qi. It was as if time had stopped, and the only things in the world that they could recognize one was one another. This feeling is what overwhelmed them as soon as they began chanting the mantra within the cultivation method. Their qis also began to circulate slowly synchronizing together as the qi from Yuki began to enter Nana and the qi from Nana began to enter Yuki. It was just that this feeling was a bit….

Yuki and Nana’s faces were both red as they bit their lips, trying to ignore the sensation welling up within them. It had stated in the technique that no matter what, they had to resist the feeling in the body that would slowly begin to rise. The act of dual cultivation was an act that was to be done between two lovers. The reason being because of the euphoric sensation that wells up within them as the foreign qi of the other enters their body. The girl’s grips tightened on one another as they continued to do their best to resist. While their breaths were growing heavy, the feeling of their dantians filling up with spiritual qi that seemed purer than before was what was making it easier for them to resist pouncing on the other. 

Yuki could feel the wall that had been blocking her from reaching stage eight of her third fate star had finally broken, allowing her to move up a minor realm. But the surge of spiritual qi did not stop there. Slowly but surely, her cultivation was rising much quicker than she had ever imagined. Nana was no different. She had already reached stage eight as well, while at first, her cultivation was higher than Yuki’s, she had slowed down purposely in order to match Yuki’s growth. Now their cultivation was even, and because of this, their current session for their first time dual cultivating was even smoother than it should have been. Normally dual cultivators would need to even their cultivations out before they would be able to truly benefit from it. It would always be the one who was of a lower realm who would get the most out of it. But for Yuki and Nana, they were both of the same realm and stage, which allowed them to get maximum benefits.
