Chapter 471 - Bedsheet
The 'couple' finally came back to their senses. Not long after, Qia went straight to the bath. After all, she was completely drenched in sweat because of the aphrodisiac's effect. That could also be said to her 'dragon's nest,' which was basically wetter than anything else at the moment.
On the other hand, Rean wasn't having it that bad since he cleaned the aphrodisiac in his blood before it could take effect. He simply summoned the water element around him and shaped it into a ball with his Spiritual Energy. After that, he quickly cleaned his body with it before putting on a new set of clothes.
Qia ended up taking longer than expected. It couldn't be blamed since she was still flustered by what happened. Qia was a cultivator, so any common aphrodisiac wouldn't be enough to have such a drastic effect. That being said, Salael Sasamil, her grandfather, made sure that the thing was of top quality. The aphrodisiac he placed would make even a Peak Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator give in to their urges.
Rean did indeed completely eliminate every last bit from Qia's body. However, the natural effects of her climax were still there since they were not considered poisonous to start with. She had to use cold water until her special place calmed down. Well... that took even longer since the scenes of what just happened a while ago continued to play in her mind for a while.
Eventually, she got ahold of her emotions and left the bathroom. The Dalamu Sect Residence's workers had prepared everything, so she also had a new set of clothes prepared beforehand, which she wore.
Rean smiled at her, trying to not think too much about the part that didn't go according to plan.
"Cough, cough... Now, then. It's obvious that your grandfather wanted us to have children as soon as possible. Fortunately, my purification skill can eliminate the aphrodisiac's effects. It's good as long as everything ends well."
Qia glared at him but sighed in the end.
"Fine. Even if we had gone through it till the end, I wouldn't have minded. That's how much I'm committed to obtaining your heart anyway. I told you during the wedding, right? I'll be the mother of your children."
Rean scratched the back of his head, obviously showing that he had no intention for that to happen. Qia didn't mind as she continued.
"However, I also don't want for us to get tied to each other in such a way. Once the fated time arrives, I want it to be in a way where we both agreed to it willingly. I guess it was for the better that you were able to stop me in the end."
Rean sighed in relief before saying.
"That's good, then. I was afraid that you would plan something similar to that if you failed with the normal approach."
Qia then smiled back at Rean.
"Well, it seems like I do have a chance since your body liked what you saw."
Obviously, she talked about how Rean couldn't control his little friend in the end and rose like a dragon after what happened between them. Rean showed a rare flustered expression before changing the topic.
"Ahem... Leaving that aside, I believe there'll be no need for us to pretend to be doing anything in the room from here on out. So, should we go to sleep? They want to see us together in bed the next day, right?"
Qia's face became a little red again and nodded. But it was then that she remembered something.
"Wait! There's one thing I don't understand. I'm sure I hit your dantian and sealed its connection with the meridians. How come you recovered so quickly?"
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied.
"What are you talking about? Isn't it obvious that you didn't hit it properly? After all, I recovered my Spiritual Energy control in just a few seconds."
"Bullshit! My senses weren't that hazy, okay?"
Rean smiled before asking.
"Oh-ho! So you were still somewhat clear-headed at that moment?"
Qia noticed that she stepped on her own trap and immediately changed her claims.
"Ahem... Now that I think about it, I was too focused on trying to get impregnated. Perhaps I didn't aim too well when I hit the point where your dantian was located."
Rean obviously agreed with her. How could he say, 'I got some Universe Essence, so my Dantian and Core is much sturdier than anyone else's'? That wouldn't happen.
"Well, with that out of the way, shall we lie on the bed? I'm pretty sure that someone will try to confirm if we slept together for real at some point or not. After all, your grandfather planned this far, so he's eager to find out the results."
Qia was flustered at that thought but didn't deny that fact.
Just as they got to the bed, Rean grabbed her hand before making a small cut on it. Qia understood what he wanted to do, so she didn't stop. Some blood then fell on the bed before Rean used his Spiritual Energy to dry it straight away.
Even though the story said that Rean impregnated Qia, the truly important people involved in this knew that Qia was still a virgin. That blood was just to pretend that they really had done it that night. After all, it was not like someone would ask Qia to open her legs and show that she didn't have a hymen anymore.
Rean quickly healed the cut with his Light Element, leaving no trace of an injury behind.
Qia and Rean might have been somewhat nervous while sleeping together. However, the truth was that both of them didn't take long to fall asleep after what just happened. That had tired the couple mentally and physically. And just like that, the two slept like rocks.
Sure enough, a guard came to the Dalamu Sect Residence and called Roan over to pass an urgent message to Rean and Qia. The two quickly got off the bed and went to see what was happening. During that time, one of the workers went to clean their room and stole the bedsheet without anyone noticing. That was then passed to Salael, who confirmed that the blood was indeed Qia's.
"Hehe. Good! Now it's all up to nature."
As for Rean and Qia, the urgent message turned out to be a 'mistake' according to the guard in the palace. Rean faintly smiled at that answer and returned to the Dalamu Sect Residence with Qia as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, the bedsheet was gone, and he didn't even try to ask where it was brought to.
