BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192: Husband Should Thank His Lucky Stars That I'm His Wife
"Dual cultivation? Is that some kind of new practice?" She asked, her voice filled with intrigue.
"..."
Aria stared at her sister in surprise when she realized that Leng Zhiqing had no idea what dual cultivation meant.
'I think Leng Zhiqing only read pure cultivation novels.' Aria believed that Leng Zhiqing had only read cultivation novels focused on pure cultivation, with no mention of dual cultivation.
She found it challenging to find such novels nowadays; it seemed like most cultivation stories revolved around dual cultivation or harem themes, which she wasn't interested in.
Emilia let out a soft chuckle, realizing that Leng Zhiqing didn't quite grasp the point she was trying to convey.
"Well, my dear friend, dual cultivation is an ancient technique that involves the harmonious blending of both physical and spiritual energies between partners to accelerate their progress in cultivation. In simpler terms, it means sex."
Emilia made a hole using her left hand and used her right hand to demonstrate the motion of thrusting. Leng Zhiqing's eyes widened in shock as Emilia's words sank in.
Blushing furiously, Leng Zhiqing stammered, "I-I knew that!!"
The cold expression that was always on her face changed, revealing a mix of surprise and embarrassment.
Emilia burst into laughter, finding Leng Zhqiqng's innocence amusing. "Oh, my dear Zhiqing, you have so much to learn."
Don't worry this friend of yours will teach you all about dual cultivation and its various techniques." Emilia said boldly, making Leng Zhiqing blush and look away in embarrassment.
"Wh-Who wants y-you to teach me?" Leng Zhiqing stammered, her cheeks turning even redder.
Emilia laughed even harder as she got closer, giving her friend a playful nudge on the arm.
"Oh, come on, Zhiqing! Don't be shy. We're friends, remember?
...Oh, from now on, I should be calling you sister." The last words were only heard by Leng Zhiqing as Emilia leaned in closer, her voice filled with excitement.
"Y-You!!" Leng Zhiqing exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Emilia's words echoed in her mind, and a rush of warmth spread through her.
"Never!!" She ran away from Emilia, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Leng Zhiqing!" Chen Tian wanted to chase after her, but Emilia held him back.
"Give her some time," she said softly, her voice carrying an understanding tone.
'Time for what!' Chen Tian wanted to scream, but he kept his words to himself.
Emilia looked at Chen Tian with a serious look, then spoke, "Husband, can you leave the room for a moment? I need to talk to sister Aria for a moment alone."
Aria looked at Emilia with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.
'What does she want for me?' Aria thought to herself, unsure of what Emilia could possibly want to discuss privately.
Chen Tian had no idea why Emilia wanted him to leave, but he couldn't refuse. Emilia's eyes were serious, and he knew that whatever they were going to discuss was important to her.
"Sigh..."
With a heavy sigh, he nodded and got up, leaving the room without saying a word.
"And husband, you are not allowed to eavesdrop on us."
As he closed the door behind him, Emilia turned towards Aria, her face filled with a mix of determination and acceptance.
Aria's curiosity grew as she wondered what could be so secretive and significant that Emilia felt the need to exclude Chen Tian from the conversation.
Taking a deep breath, Emilia began to speak, her voice filled with a hint of hesitation.
"You like Chen Tian, don't you?" Emilia dropped the bombshell question, causing Aria's eyes to widen in surprise.
Aria's mind raced as she tried to process the unexpected revelation.
She had never expected Emilia to suspect her feelings for Chen Tian, let alone confront her about them.
"N-No..." Aria stammered, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Emilia's piercing gaze made it difficult for Aria to come up with a convincing denial.
"You can't lie to me, Aria," Emilia said seriously, her voice laced with a serious tone, which Emilia rarely used.
Aria's heart sank, realizing that Emilia saw through her facade.
The truth weighed heavily on Aria's tongue, but the fear of rejection kept her lips sealed.
She averted her gaze, desperately searching for an escape from this uncomfortable conversation.
Yes, she knew that she had developed some feelings for Chen Tian, but admitting them would mean risking their relationship, not to mention that he has Emilia now.
'Wait!! He also said that he had another woman in the cultivation world!' Aria thought to herself, a glimmer of hope flickering within her.
But it quickly vanished as she reminded herself that Chen Tian's was her brother, and even if he wasn't her biological brother, he was still her cousin.
She couldn't let herself entertain the idea of pursuing a romantic relationship with him.
It would only complicate matters and potentially ruin the close bond they already shared as family.
"I won't judge you, no matter what it is. On the contrary, I will support you," Emilia said, shocking Aria even more.
"What are you talking about?" Aria asked, her voice filled with confusion.
Emilia smiled softly, her eyes filled with understanding.
"I can see the way you look at Chen Tian, Aria. It's more than just a familial bond. And if you truly feel something for him, I want you to know that I don't want you to hide it or feel guilty about it.
Love is a complicated thing, especially when it comes to family. But suppressing your feelings could only complicate matters and potentially ruin the close bond they already shared as family."
"I think you're wrong about my feelings," Aria interrupted, her voice trembling.
"What I feel for Chen Tian is only family love," she continued, her eyes welling up with tears.
"I care about him deeply, but not romantically." Aria tried to convince herself and others that her feelings were purely platonic, but deep down, she couldn't deny the intense connection she felt for Chen Tian.
Every time she saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and she longed for his presence in her life.
Despite her attempts to suppress these emotions, they continued to grow stronger; it was only on that day that they were about to kiss that Aria realized she was in love with Chen Tian.
Aria knew that if she didn't confront her feelings soon, it could lead to a rupture in their family dynamics and potentially jeopardize the closeness they cherished.
"Why am I so afraid?" Aria wondered silently.
She knew that confessing her love for Chen Tian would change everything.
It could either bring them closer together or tear them apart.
"Aria, you know that you are crying out of fear," Emilia said gently.
"But sometimes, taking that risk is necessary for your own happiness. You owe it to yourself to speak your truth and see what happens. And remember, true love is worth fighting for, even if it means facing the unknown."
Emilia tried to reassure Aria that taking a chance on love is always worth it.
"Why are you telling me this?" Aria asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty.
"Don't you want Chen Tian for yourself?"
Emilia smiled softly, her eyes filled with understanding. "Aria, didn't you hear Chen Tian story about his past? He's not like us; he has a different path, and... not to mention, he's a beast in bed.
I don't need to recount the countless nights I spent awake, with Chen Tian persistently pushing for more. He only relented when my body could no longer endure the strain.
...That's why I need more sisters."
Aria looked stupefied at Emilia's answer.
Aria took a deep breath, wiping away her tears, and made up her mind.
"Pftt, I appreciate your concern, Emilia, but I believe that I can handle him just fine.
You're right, I shouldn't hide my feelings and pretend I'm okay with being the way it is." Aria's words were filled with determination, as she declared.
"Good," Emilia nodded with a small smile approving of Emilia's decision.
"I'm glad to hear you say that, Aria. It's important to stand up for yourself and not settle for anything less than what you deserve."
Aria felt a surge of confidence as Emilia's words resonated with her.
She knew she had made the right decision, and she was ready to face Chen Tian and any challenges that came her way.
Even her sister, whom she knew also had feelings for Chen Tian, wouldn't change her mind.
She knew that she couldn't live with the regret of never expressing her feelings, and she was determined to take a leap of faith and tell Chen Tian how she truly felt.
"Okay, let's tell him!!" Emilia exclaimed with a mischievous smile.
Aria felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as they made plans to finally confess her feelings to Chen Tian.
They spent some time rehearsing what she would say, going over every possible scenario in her mind.
Aria couldn't help but feel grateful for Emilia's unwavering support and encouragement.
About thirty minutes later, Emilia left the room with Aria.
"Where is he?" Aria asked after not seeing Chen Tian outside.
"I think he's waiting for us downstairs," Emilia replied, her voice filled with anticipation.
"Okay, let's go," Aria said, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves.
As they descended the stairs, Aria's mind raced with thoughts of what Chen Tian's reaction might be.
She hoped that he felt the same way about her, but there was always a chance that he didn't.
Either way, she knew she had to take this chance and finally let him know how she truly felt.
As they walked towards the designated spot, Emilia walked behind Aria.
'Humph's stinky husband should thank his lucky stars that I'm his wife; hehehe~ maybe today I would get a special reward!" Emilia's mind wandered off into her own fantasies.
She couldn't help but daydream about the potential rewards that awaited her if Aria's confession went well.
Emilia giggled to herself, picturing Chen Tian's surprise and delight at Aria's heartfelt confession.
