“Why haven’t those little bitches come out of hiding yet!? They went to the dragon tower and then back to their immortal cave which has a strong barrier around it.” A girl at Yuko’s side snorted as she gently brushed Yuko’s hair. 

Yuko smiled as she gently patted the girl’s hand. “I know you are getting made for my sake Junko but you do not need to worry too much. They will need to come out during the outer sect tournament in a week’s time. Let them hide for now. Let’s see how they act when they begin stripping and jumping on any man around them.” 

Junko’s eyes narrowed slightly before returning to a bright smile.  “Hehe, of course, Princess Yuko will always have the perfect plans. But if anything does go wrong, don’t worry, I will kill them both for you.”

 Yuko stuck her nose in the air proudly. She felt the word princess fit her well. She should begin using this more often. “Then I will be counting on you. Let your father know that I will talk to my uncle for him and see if he will take you as his disciple.”

The girl’s eyes flashed when she heard the words she so wanted to hear. She smiled and hugged Yuko as she said: “Princess really is good to me!”

As the days ticked by, Nana and Yuki underwent torture in more ways than one. First was the heat in their bodies that made them want to pounce on the other while dual cultivating that they had to work hard to restrain, and then there were the medical baths that were reforging their bodies by breaking them down and then piecing them back together. Both of these things were really taking a toll on them, but it had been worth it. Both girls were becoming stronger quickly. Yuki and Nana were now both stage two fourth fate star cultivators now.

But on this particular day, Elder Nishikawa arrived at their immortal cave. “Girls, you in?”

“Master?” Yuki and Nana were taking a rare break and were currently lounging out on the floor. Yuki had her head in Nana’s lap while Nana gently ran her hands through Yuki’s hair which she did not stop doing even when Elder Nishikawa walked in.

“I forgot to tell you, but all outer sect disciples over the third fate star will need to gather tomorrow. The outer sect tournament will be taking place. It is a tournament with handsome rewards, so no slacking. As my personal disciples, you need to win no matter what. You even need to beat your Senior Sister Rin! That brat has been too busy to even come talk to me!” Elder Nishikawa huffed. She had taken Rin in so long ago, but the damn girl spent more time with AI and Ami than she did coming to visit her master!

Yuki and Nana giggled. But they also realized they had not spoken too much to the two girls since they had been back since cultivating was all they normally did now. But they still found their master cute when she complained like a husband who had their wife stolen. 

 “What are you two giggling about!? If you do not beat her, forget about getting any more herbs from me! Humph!” Elder Nishikawa blushed as she saw her two disciples giving her playful smiles. She disliked the look in their eyes! 

“Anyway, how close are the two of you to reaching the first stage?” Elder Nishikawa asked. She knew the cultivation method must be a bit intense for the two, but it was powerful and perfect for two girls who were now bound for life. Normally dao partners would not get together for hundreds of thousands of years. But these two both have the same goal, and strength is all they think about. She hoped they would leave the mortal plane and unfold their wings and soar through the sky. That was why she gave them this cultivation method. It was powerful enough to make them the strongest not only in this realm but the others as well.

“We are close but it has been rough. Master this technique is a bit….” Yuki blushed. She felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

“I know but bare with it. Eventually, you both will be doing those things anyway and once your reach the fourth level, you will be unable to move on if you are unwilling to do the things said in it. Dual cultivation is not just about holding hands but more intimate things. Although you are young now, in a few years, when you do reach that stage, you will  need to make a firm decision.” Elder Nishikawa did not want to go into details as it was too embarrassing for her to talk about, but she knew it would be a hurdle the two girls would need to get over.

“We understand,” Yuki answered while Nana nodded and scratched Yuki’s ears. 

“Good then, tomorrow, I will see you at the main statue in the center of the outer sect. The tournament will be held at the main arena there. But be careful. You never know what tricks your enemies might play while there.” Elder Nishikawa smiled as she turned around and was about to leave but stopped. “Oh right…. Try not to kill anyone.” 

With those words, Elder Nishikawa left the immortal cave with Yuki and Nana staring at the closed door. “Does she think we are killing machines?”

“What’s a machine?” Nana asked only for Yuki to shake her head and close her eyes. Nana was curious but decided to leave it at that as she was not to concerned about it.
