Chapter 164: 164 | Cultivating With Selene
Back in his bedroom, Dexter glanced at the ceiling and let out a sigh.
’Vixen.’
’I truly thought she had fever yesterday.’
He chuckled bitterly as he thought about the previous day.
Then he glanced at the gloves on his palm.
’Should I toss this away?’
It was quite a dilemma because with the glove, the effect of the massage technique increased a lot which speeds up Mira’s recovery.
But now that the glove Wa steering to have another effect, he wasn’t quite sure he should continue using it.
’Ah, this is causing me to have a headache. Will think about it another time.’
He threw the glove into his storage ring and sighed as he sat on his bed to cultivate. It took almost 30 minutes for him to finally clear all distracting thoughts and focus on meditating.
---
The clock ticked as an hours passed as he cultivated, then another hour passed.
At this moment, Dexter suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the time on his phone.
"1:00 AM."
’Selene isn’t here yet.’
He had been expecting Selene.
Ever since their conversation in the backyard that afternoon, he had been quietly certain that she would come as the arrangement was quite simple and straightforward.
But it was 1:00 AM, and Selene hadn’t come.
Dexter shook his head.
’She’s not comfortable with it yet.’
He wasn’t dejected but understood Selene’s concerns.
After-all, cultivating together in the same room was considered an intimate act, even if it wasn’t technically dual cultivation.
The mana that passed through one person’s body could mingle with the mana of another person in the same space. Their energy fields would overlap and if they were practicing the same cultivation technique, their breathing would synchronize as the shared mana would carry traces of each person’s unique cultivation signature.
For Selene, who absolutely loathes being touched and maintained strict personal boundaries, that kind of proximity was a significant step.
Dexter didn’t blame her. He simply resumed cultivating.
Roughly thirty minutes to an hour later—
"Creak..."
Dexter’s eyes opened slowly as his door slowly opened. There, a ghost-like beuty stood in the doorway.
The beauty’s head was bowed as her silver-white hair fell forward, covering her face.
At that moment, a chill speed through the air and fog seemed to float with her as she seemingly floated slowly towards him.
The ghost-like beauty was Selene.
Selene hesitantly walked into the room, but seeing Dexter warm smile, the hesitation faded slightly as she into the room.
Dexter stood up from the bed and gestured toward the mattress. "Here. You can take the bed."
"I will take air mattress."
Selene tilted her head, her hair tilting with her as she shook her head.
Dexter blinked. "You don’t want the bed?"
"We can both cultivate on the bed," she said quietly.
Dexter raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
But he nodded and sat on the far edge of the bed, leaving as much space as possible between himself and where Selene would sit.
Selene walked to the opposite edge, then sat down slowly, raised her legs, crossed them beneath her, and settled into a meditation posture with her spine was perfectly straight, her palms on her thighs, facing upward and then, she closed her eyes.
There was a faint flush on her pale cheeks and the tips of her ears were slightly pink.
Dexter held back his smile, refusing to say anything. He simply closed his eyes and activated his Heavenly flame. The Abyssal Emperor Flame roared to life.
The temperature in the room shifted dramatically.
Selene’s body constantly radiated cold as the Eternal Winter Ice leaked from her skin in invisible waves, dropping the temperature by several degrees.
But with the activation of the Heavenly Flame, everything changed instantly!
The frigid temperatures instantly rose.
Heat poured from Dexter’s body like a roaring flame.
But Dexter didn’t actually erupt with flames. He simply activated the warmth or heat of the heavenly flames. It rolled outward from his skin and filled the room like sunlight through a window.
The two energies met, one cold and one extremely hot.
Dexter’s heat was overwhelmingly stronger, afterall, it was an heavenly flame.
It radiated intense heat that Selene’s suppressed Eternal Winter Ice couldn’t hope to match.
At that moment, Selene let out a soft, comfortable sigh as the prickling sensation on her skin reduced by a lot and her muscles relaxed.
Dexter noticed it through his Enhanced Hearing and watched her heartbeat slow down incredibly. Her breathing had also deepened and the tension in her muscles had eased.
’Seems like it’s working.’
He nodded internally and then focused on his cultivation.
An hour passed.
Dexter occasionally opens his eyes every 30 minutes.
This time, he opened his eyes and noticed something.
Selene’s spine, which had been perfectly straight when she sat down, was beginning to lean slowly towards his direction.
From her breathing, she wasn’t sleeping but her body was tilting towards him unconsciously like a flower turning toward the sun.
Dexter wanted to increase the heat mire intensely, so she wouldn’t need to lean.
But if he did that, the temperature would cross the combustion threshold and everything, including the mattress, the sheets, the wooden bed frame would burst into flames.
But he also couldn’t tell her to come closer. She was already like a frightened rabbit.
So instead, he moved closer to her.
He shifted his position on the bed, sliding forward until his knees were almost touching hers.
Selene noticed.
Her eyes snapped open and widened as she felt the sudden surge of heat intensify.
The pricking sensation beneath her skin, the maddening itch of frozen nerve endings, seemed to melt as the deep ache in her bones faded.
It felt as though standing in front of a fireplace after a blizzard.
She looked up at him.
Dexter’s eyes were closed, absorbed in cultivation, he was pretending nothing had happened.
Selene stared at his peaceful expression for a long moment.
Then a small, quiet smile touched her lips.
She closed her eyes, straightened her back and continued cultivating.
