Until the eleventh minute, that endless howl finally ceased.
Hongling was so overwhelmed she could barely contain herself. She longed to rush immediately to where the sound had come from and find out exactly who practiced here in seclusion!
"How could someone so formidable live nearby without me even knowing? I should pay them a visit tomorrow," Hongling scolded herself internally, her heart pounding with regret.
But then she reconsidered: "This senior cultivator clearly perfected their qi cultivation last night - the long howl disturbed all the neighbors. I wonder if they'll still be here in the morning!"
"I have to check it out!" Hongling made up her mind, drawing a six-inch crimson silk ribbon from her waistband. With one flick of her wrist, the ribbon transformed into a streak of red light flying through the window.
This crimson ribbon emitted an almost invisible faint glow; in the dead of night, no one would notice this floating piece of cloth was actually an artifact.
After Li Yundong's long howl, he felt invigorated and at ease, letting out a deep sigh: "That was amazing..."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a storm of curses suddenly erupted outside: "What are you? A ghost? Don't you know what time it is?"
"Hey! Are you trying to die from holding your breath? Who cares if you're loud for ten minutes straight?"
"Calling out at three in the morning, are you trying to attract a lover's attention?"
The Hongsheng New District was primarily inhabited by white-collar workers and affluent residents who generally possessed high standards of conduct. But even the most refined individuals couldn't tolerate Li Yundong's howls lasting ten minutes with such volume!
Cursing like mad, Li Yundong exchanged a glance with Su Chan beside him. They quickly closed windows, doors, and curtains before extinguishing all lights to hide in the bedroom like thieves eavesdropping on the cacophony of curses from outside.
"Snorted..." Su Chan suddenly laughed out, finding her time together with Li Yundong endlessly amusing. In cultivation circles, one's aura could instantly earn respect when it was so formidable - but in the mundane world, all this power had earned Li Yundong nothing but a storm of curses!
Seeing Su Chan laugh, Li Yundong smiled wryly: "These people - their verbal abuse lasted longer than my howl!"
Amidst this chaos of scolding voices, Hongling's artifact floated silently to within five meters of the balcony outside Li Yundong's home. Based on her judgment, she believed the long howl originated from here. But exactly which apartment it came from remained a mystery to her.
Normally cultivators should open windows during qi cultivation for ventilation, but Hongling controlled the artifact through several rotations and found all nearby apartments had closed windows and doors tightly shut with no discernible clues at all.
"Could this senior cultivator be deliberately avoiding disturbances?" she thought with disappointment, guiding the artifact in another few circles before finally returning it reluctantly.
She stood on her balcony listening to these varied insults from worldly people, suddenly bursting into laughter as she shook her head: "How could such a miraculous howl be cursed like this? These people truly can't recognize gold even when it's gilded!"
"Still... which cultivation sect is this senior from?" Hongling rested her chin in thought.
Li Yundong and Su Chan endured twenty minutes inside their room before daring to open the bedroom door carefully, peeking out with utmost caution.
"Finally quiet - thank goodness!" Li Yundong wiped cold sweat off his forehead. "These people can curse nonstop for twenty minutes without repetition! Impressive!"
Su Chan laughed heartily: "Whose idea was it to howl so loudly for so long?"
Li Yundong scratched his head sheepishly, "I just couldn't control myself..."
As he spoke, a thought struck him. He suddenly asked Su Chan, "What kind of massage techniques are those? Why did you get such an intense reaction after the massage that it made me feel like Ultraman!"
Thinking about how long he had howled this time, Li Yundong himself felt astonished.
Inside her mind, Su Chan mused: What's nothing compared to this? The Human Origin Golden Pill is renowned as the elixir of immortals for a reason! Once you complete your foundation cultivation, you'll be even stronger. But right now, you've already entered the advanced stage of Grand Meridian Circulation!
Leading Li Yundong into the living room with excitement, Su Chan said: "Now punch something!"
"Here? Now?" Li Yundong looked surprised.
After a firm nod from Su Chan, he agreed. "Okay then, where should I hit?"
"Anywhere is fine," Su Chan replied.
This time with caution, Li Yundong kept his distance from all appliances and furniture as he swung at the empty space on the balcony. The moment his fist moved forward, a mighty aura erupted from it, causing fierce winds to roar through the room.
The glass pane several meters away on the balcony crashed down with a loud bang, shattering onto the ground before some fragments plummeted downstairs, immediately triggering another wave of curses.
Stunned into silence, Li Yundong stared at his fist: "How could this be? What's going on?"
Su Chan's eyes sparkled like crescent moons as she silently thought to herself: That's great! His Grand Meridian Circulation cultivation has also been completed - the Human Origin Golden Pill is truly formidable. With such rapid progress, other cultivators would be green with envy when they heard about this!
Now Li Yundong had accomplished "Meridian Expansion", "Qi Condensation", and "Natural Flow" among his cultivation tasks, entering the advanced stage of Second Heaven's "Cultivation of Qi".
The next step was to complete "Inner Observation", "Visualization", and "Loterus Platform", after which he could break through into Third Heaven's "Spirit Concentration" realm!
Once Li Yundong entered the Spirit Concentration realm, he would face one of the most crucial milestones in cultivation: Foundation Cultivation.
Successfully completing his foundation cultivation would make him a true cultivator capable of entering the grand halls of cultivation arts!
For a moment Su Chan's thoughts drifted far away. When Li Yundong completed his foundation cultivation, could she then finally reveal her origins to him? At that point they might travel together through famous landscapes and mountains for cultivation, becoming a couple of immortal partners envied by all!
The little girl's mind wandered further as soft emotions stirred within her heart like a gentle stream.
When she thought about their romantic future, her body grew weak with tenderness as if melting into Li Yundong's arms. Under Su Chan's guidance, Li Yundong had broken through the critical threshold to enter cultivation's advanced stage. The surging yang energy in his body was now vigorous and overwhelming. Su Chan naturally possessed an extreme yin constitution, and when this pure yin touched the powerful yang energy, her eyes immediately turned sultry with desire while emitting soft, pleasurable sounds.
The moment Li Yundong felt a thunderous explosion in his mind, he found himself drawn into the abyss of the beautiful woman's charm before him like being pulled by an irresistible vortex. Without realizing it, he lowered his head to peck at her lips like tasting jelly - those cherries were as soft and delicate as a plum blossom.
Su Chan giggled lightly, moving her body with playful twists while delicately extending her little tongue to lick Li Yundong's lips before retreating quickly, giggling like she had just pulled off an incredible prank.
This little foxgirl was like a flickering flame causing Li Yundong's passions to surge wildly throughout his whole body. He let out a low chuckle and leaned down for another attack.
After their tongues entwined in a passionate dance, Su Chan panted hard as she used both hands against Li Yundong's chest with a soft moan: "No more... please stop!"
Li Yundong felt like his body was on fire and chuckled helplessly: "Come on? I'm about to burst into flames, don't you know?"
After a low laugh from Su Chan - her sultry demeanor made Li Yundong wish he could act immediately. Seeing the wildness in his eyes, she became anxious and quickly said: "Yun Dong, we really can't do that!"
This look left him as if doused with a bucket of cold water, and he hunched over dejectedly: "Okay..."
Seeing his disappointment, Su Chan coquettishly gave him a kiss on the cheek while massaging his shoulders and back. She said: "Not yet, at least."
Perceiving the hidden meaning in her words, Li Yundong secretly rejoiced but pretended to sulk: "So when can we?"
Blushing slightly, Su Chan twisted around and dashed into her bedroom before shutting the door with a smile that was both teasing and charming: "I won't tell you - you can guess for yourself!"
Li Yundong's heart stirred as he found this little girl an absolute devil capable of taming any man from head to toe. Even just one glance from those eyes could ignite a man!
"Ah... so this is what the romantic life in housemate dramas looks like?" Thinking about some soap operas he had watched before, Li Yundong sighed with both pride and satisfaction as he stood on the balcony looking at the shattered glass. "Well damn... we just moved in and already caused damage - need to find someone to fix this tomorrow!"
"But when will I finally conquer this delicious little beauty?" Li Yundong collapsed onto his bed, sighing deeply while feeling ashamed of himself for thinking only about getting into bed with a young girl.
Yet Su Chan was also tossing around on her bed, hugging a pillow tightly - she wasn't thinking about romantic entanglements but rather the wonderful days ahead when she and Li Yundong would travel together through famous landscapes as immortal partners.
When she imagined these perfect future moments, the little girl couldn't help giggling to herself while holding that pillow closely, her eyes full of yearning for a beautiful tomorrow.
The two lay in their separate rooms sleeplessly through the night until finally drifting into deep slumber with their thoughts still swirling.
The next morning, Li Yundong was woken up by his phone ringing. He grabbed it with half-closed eyes and responded impatiently: "Hello? I'm currently sleeping - what business do you have before court resumes?"
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty's head!" A very fierce voice replied through the receiver.
