My Dual-Cultivation System

"Yuena???" He called her name out in his thoughts but the girl didn't respond to him any longer.

His heart was having jumbled emotions after hearing her nostalgic voice as Meng Long was nearing the other side of the river.

Xue Rou was waiting for him at the edges of the river with a surprised eye as a look of disbelief was flickering on her delicate face.

After He stepped on the land beside her, she asked with an amazed tone, "How did you do that?" ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Meng shrugged to avoid telling her the truth as he had an idea who caused this astounding development.

"This golden lotus pad was only used by Saintess in her time. It appears she has granted you her recognition." Xue Rou said in a delighted tone while her eyes still had a glint of puzzlement.

After crossing the river, the duo walked for two minutes before a garden of flowers appeared on their right side.

A white temple was present in the middle of a pond, which was located to the left side of the garden. There was no way of going there as it was surrounded by water.

The scent of aromatic flowers invaded his nostril as he passed through with an enamored heart. The mist reduced as they advanced on their path toward the inner court of Tianhai academy.

Small cottages started appearing on their way to the west.

Meng Long followed the black-haired beauty until two-story buildings welcomed his sight.

A large field was in the middle of these buildings. Long trees surrounded the perimeter as if guarding the area.

There was only two gateway to exit this place, one at the eastern side where they had come from and the second at the western direction which they were facing right now.

"This is the inner court where all the important figures and prodigies of the academy live. That opened gate would lead you to the outer court where dorms and teaching buildings are located for regular students." Xue Rou gave Meng Long a short introduction.

Sun had started coming out as a redness could be seen in the east from which direction they had come.

The inner court was almost empty as it was morning and many people hadn't come out.

Some students, who were training outside in the field, raised their eyebrows as they saw a strange boy with their Ice Princess.

"Who is that boy with Big Sister Xue Rou?"

"Did she find a lover?"

"Maybe it's her younger brother"

"We need to befriend him if we want to get close to Ice Princess."

Meng Long had no idea he had become their target of interest just by tagging along with this black-haired beauty. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

Xue Rou moved in direction of trees instead of the two-story buildings.

"Why is she going there?" He mumbled inwardly as it was abnormal to go in that direction.

Soon his question was answered, as they advanced past the vegetation. Five white cottages were hidden there that looked extravagant compared to the other inner court buildings.

Xue Rou entered the fifth building, and Meng Long followed behind her.

A big hall welcome his sight as two couches were placed in the middle with a table. Lily flower pots were decorated on the ground close to the side of the walls. It caused the room to be filled with the same aroma as Xue Rou's body scent.

'It seems She loves these flowers.'

Meng Long came to a conclusion as he noticed her preferences.

"That's our bedroom over there and there is an extra guest room beside it. There is also an attached bathroom you will find. We can cook in this room as it's our kitchen." Xue Rou indicated the two rooms to the right side and brought him to show the kitchen on their left.

Meng Long saw the kitchen appliances and other useful tools for cooking. there was also a burner, some cooking pots, various utensils, and some unknown things he wasn't familiar with.

Xue Rou held his hands and brought him to show them their bedroom.

"This is our bedroom." A hint of redness was present on her cheeks as she mentioned it.

Meng Long gazed at the bedroom. There was a king-sized bed in the middle which had a white blanket over it and a white pillow. There was also a vase of flowers filled with lilies beside the bed.

His mind wandered to the incident that happened earlier.

"Why is Yuena here and How did she become the saintess?" He mumbled inwardly and thought about his previous life's friend.

"Meng Long, what happened?" Seeing him lost in thoughts, Xue Rou asked with Intrigued eyes as she frowned.

The boy didn't tell her what he was thinking, instead asked, "I was wondering if I am eligible to join the academy with my new spirit since you mentioned we can directly get into the inner court using special conditions."

'If I want to find Bing'er and assist Cang Xue I'll need to get familiar with this world again. For that, I should start getting into the Tianhai academy first.'

Meng Long made his plan to stay here for the time being and gather information for his future tasks.

"Ahh...I didn't remember. Your spirit energy is now high enough to awaken a spirit. It's still a puzzle how you managed to do it." Xue Rou said in a starling voice and gave him a questioning look.

"I'll tell you when the time comes. I may even need your help with it." He responded to her and thought inwardly, "Supreme Yang Body can not be kept a secret from the women who would accompany me in this life. I'll need to reveal it to her eventually."

"Okay, take your time." She ruffled his hair and continued, "Wait here...I'll go and borrow a spirit Awakening artifact and spirit appraisal crystal ball from the inner court's teaching department."

"We don't need spirit Awakening artifact. Just a spirit appraisal crystal ball would be enough. My spirit has already been Awakened." The boy said in a calm voice.

The black-haired beauty showed a surprised look but then nodded.

She walked out of the cottage to bring the spirit appraisal crystal ball from the inner court's teaching department.
