Dual Cultivation Chapter 5

"Are you saying that you can heal my back pain with this massage of yours?"
Su Yang calmly nodded at her question.
"Don't listen to him! He is only trying to take advantage of you."
"Yeah! Who knows what he'll do to you once to follow him."
"Do you have any idea who he is?"
The young lady looked at the group of disciples and frowned. "And who are you?"
"We are—"
Before the disciples can even introduce themselves, Su Yang spoke: "I can heal you, but only if you accept my conditions."
"Conditions? Are you in the position to ask for conditions? I know that you have been standing here for many hours without a single customer! If I leave now, then who knows when your next customer may come… if it ever happens."
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Su Yang nodded and said calmly: "Then... for having enough courage to stand before me, I shall part you with a gift. Your back pain… don't underestimate it and go find a doctor to treat it quickly before you turn into a cripple."
"A cripple!? W-W-What do you mean by that?!" The young lady began panicking after hearing his words, but that was not what Su Yang had intended.
"If you think that your back pain was caused by bad positioning during your cultivation, then you can't be more wrong."
"Then what was the cause…?"
"..."
"..."
The young lady began sweating profusely after Su Yang became silent for more than a few seconds.
"I… I will do it. I will accept your conditions."
The young lady gave up after a few more seconds of silence.
Su Yang nodded and said: "Condition one, the session will only last for 10 minutes, no more, no less. Condition two, you must share your experience after the massage with ten people. Condition three, you are only allowed to come back one month after your last massage session. If you refuse any of these conditions, then you may turn around and walk away. If you fail to fulfill the second and third condition after the massage, then you can forget about coming back ever again."

"That… that's it?" The young lady thought Su Yang had something far more serious in mind, but such easy conditions… who wouldn't accept?
"Pft… one month… It'd be a miracle if you have another customer after her today…" The disciples laughed.
"Do you accept?"
"I accept."
"Good. Then follow me." Su Yang rolled up his sign and carried it on his back as he began leading the young lady back to his living quarters.
"Ahhh… she's really going to follow him…"
"Should we stop her?"
"Let her be… she can only blame herself later for trusting someone like Su Yang."
The disciples watched as Su Yang and the young girl disappear into the distance. None of the dozens of people there tried to stop her because they are all intrigued by what will happen when she returns.

"This is… your living quarters? We are doing it here?"
"Then would you rather do it outside?" Su Yang asked her with a slight smile.
"..."
The young lady looked around with her imaginations running wild, causing her to blush.
Su Yang didn't wait for her to answer and walked into the house.
"Ah! Wait up…"
After entering the dead silent house, Su Yang went straight into his room, and the young lady followed with caution.
"I swear to the heavens that if you do anything funny to me… you will pay for it with your life…"
"You are too young to be my taste, little girl."
"Lit...little girl? You look just about as old as me."
Su Yang shrugged at her reply. "Lay down on the bed with your back facing the ceiling."
"..."
The young lady stood there silently, her gaze staring at him intensively.

"You can keep your clothes on."
After hearing his words, the young lady sighed in relief and laid herself on the bed.
Su Yang cracked his knuckles and stretched around for a few moments before he said: "Your 10 minutes begins now, try not to lose consciousness."
"Eh? What do you mean by–"
"Ah–!"
The young lady suddenly let out an unexpected moan of pleasure that caused Su Yang's ears to tingle with delight.
"Wh...What did you just do – Ahhhh~!"
"Stop wiggling around like a worm, you're making this more difficult for me."
"Ahhh!"
The sense of pleasure on her back overwhelmed the young lady's sense of hearing, making her feel as though she was in another world – in heaven.
She couldn't understand what she was feeling, but it was not a sense of feeling that could be made with the hands of a human, almost as though she was feeling the hands of a god.
Time passed by quickly, but within the young lady's world, it felt almost like an eternity. And suddenly, the sense of pleasure ended. It was too sudden, almost feeling like it was the end of the world.
"Eh? Huh? Why did you stop?" The young lady turned to look at Su Yang, and on her red face was a sensual expression – one that begged for more.
"Your ten minutes is over." Su Yang said in a calm tone.
"B-B-But…"
"The pain in your back should have subdued by now, but reduce the time you spend cultivating by half for the next month for it to be permanent."
"Please… ten… no, just five more minutes! I will pay you any amount!"
The young lady pleaded Su Yang to extend the service, but Su Yang only shook his head. "I cannot accept anything from you as I have already stated that my first three customers will be free of charge. You can come back next month… after you spread your experience here to ten people."
The young lady bit her lips in frustration, reluctantly nodding a few seconds later.
"I look forward to your next visit… uh..."
"Zhou Xuan." The young lady said: "My name is Zhou Xuan."
"I am called Su Yang," he smiled at her as he watched her exit the front door, her legs looking unstable as she walked, like a drunk walking home after spending a whole night drinking.

The Deathseeker [Under Revision]
NOTE: This story has dark elements, but it's neither grimdark nor particularly edgy. It's also currently being revised. Satan's Axe...Lord of High Honor...The Immortal Giant...The Black Maelstrom...Son of Thunderfield...The Gods' Retribution. Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. “My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.” With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster. Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details. What To Expect: A good time. In a few more words than that, a cast of believable characters in a unique world dealing with conflicts and problems a little bit more complex than punching the big evil guy in the face. Just a little though. Minimum Word Count a Week: 5000 Release Time(s): Between Friday 12pm EST and Monday 6am EST I also write A King in the Clouds

While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
