The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 158

Ruan Li closed her eyes, the warmth of her body still not having faded, surging once more. She tilted her head back, surrendering her most vulnerable and sensitive parts to Luo Qingci.

She bit her lower lip, experiencing everything Luo Qingci gave her. As expected, her Master was still her Master, and she soon crumbled under the sensation.

The dragon race's needs in this regard, once ignited, could not be contained. Previously, Ruan Li had been too concerned about Luo Qingci's health and had suppressed her own nature. This time, however, throughout the entire process, Luo Qingci did not vomit blood from excitement, which suggested that her emotional root was likely recovering.

So, this session of mutual cultivation did not end after just one round from each side. Ruan Li lay on Luo Qingci's chest, her fingers involuntarily poking at her heart, her breath still uneven and carrying the languid sweetness of aftercare. "Does it still hurt, Master?"

Luo Qingci embraced her, rubbing his chin against her hair, "It was a bit painful before, but it was bearable. Now, it should be almost healed."

Earlier, when their passion had just begun to deepen, there was still some pain, but it was not as intense as before. Eventually, as Ruan Li grew more involved, she barely noticed it. Now, with another round, there was no more pain.

Ruan Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Reflecting on the many times before, Luo Qingci had suffered so much because of the emotional root.

The tenderness in her heart intensified, and Ruan Li couldn't help but touch Luo Qingci's heart.

There, the golden reverse scale, nourished by their earlier deep connection, now glowed even more brightly than when it was on its owner.

Ruan Li had noticed this when she was on top earlier and smiled lightly, "It looks even more beautiful on you than on me."

Luo Qingci felt a ticklish sensation from her touch, and a different kind of thought crossed his mind. Hearing Ruan Li's words, he looked down and agreed.

He then lifted her up a bit, wrapping them both snugly in a thin blanket. Whispering, he said, "It's rare for someone to receive the dragon race's reverse scale and also gain its owner's love. It's even more unexpected for the person who got the reverse scale to cultivate together with its owner."

No matter how much they liked each other, the dragon's reverse scale was inherently untouchable, not just because of the pain but also due to instinctive resistance. Even if a dragon decided to be with another, the reverse scale would not be easily touched, let alone removed alive.

Only this little foolish dragon, in a one-sided affection and uncertain future, had given away its reverse scale to someone else.

Thinking about this, and recalling the original story, Luo Qingci felt a mix of pain and inexplicable anger. She couldn't help but poke Ruan Li's forehead, "You foolish dragon, so silly."

Ruan Li squinted her eyes from the poke and buried herself in Luo Qingci's embrace, mumbling, "I'm not silly. If I hadn't been willing to give up the reverse scale back then, I wouldn't have Master, wouldn't have Chi Qing, and wouldn't have a Dao companion now."

It was initially a teasing, spoiled comment, but as she said it, Ruan Li couldn't help but hold Luo Qingci tighter. The relief and slight fear from the bottom of her heart made her feel both sweet and sour.

Noticing her emotions, Luo Qingci gently patted Ruan Li, "Silly girl, why are you overthinking this?"

Reflecting on the matter of the reverse scale, Luo Qingci gently lifted Ruan Li's chin and traced her neck with his fingers, "Where was the reverse scale originally?"
